Same here, but what about the ticks? Don't you have them Over there? Can cause borrelia and meningitis.

They can cause, is a conditional phrase. I can kill.

So far, ticks and I go our separate ways without incidence. I believe my relationship with our Mother, Gaia, has a lot to do with this. I actually feel bad for mosquitoes. They have such a sh!tty job.

This conversation reminds me of when my son was about 4. One day we were playing out in the rain and he was watching the worms, he was fascinated by them (typical little boy). The next day we went outside and they had dried up in the sun. His eyes welled up and he said "why did they die mommy?" and i explained to him that they dried up in the sun. He was SO upset about it. The next time it rained, he was outside in his little rubber boots for hours, 'saving' all the worms by picking them up and putting them back on the grass.

I still do that. I also do it when I move leaves or a rock and uncover one. In warm weather if I pick up a rock for some reason and there is and ant nest beneath it I do my best to put down gently in the original position. My tent had a spider in every corner. Mosquitoes are the only insects who need to avoid me. They are the banksters (not bankers) and CEO's of the insect world. Useless bloodsuckers.

lol! Yeah i guess my son gets it from his mom ... i always do the 'cup and paper' trick for letting the flys or spiders out of the house in the summer. There is something extra precious about how little kids naturally appreciate life though, it's just so adorable.

Hmmmm, had to do "the cup and paper" trick with a scorpion once in Greece while my female friends fled in panic....something to do with me being a scorpio?

Scopions understand one another. It is an energy you have to 'know' to understand. I find Scorpios are married to other Scorpios in greater frequency than other signs. That is my experience, anyway.

Good on you for treating the scorpion with kindness. I have never met one in the wild yet. It will be interesting when I finally do. I have Scorpio rising.

Snakes, bees, and me have an agreement...they don't attack me and I dont' attack them, however, in my dwelling if we can't come to a reasonable resolution i.e. they leave my inhabitance, they will be removed with force.
Spiders get the taken outside treatment and or left to live in the cornors...I've roamed the mountains for almost 3 decades and never ran into a bear, mountian lion, or bobcat.

This great hunk of rock floating through space has a way of takeing care of all within it's dwelling and inhabitants...aleast thats what it seems like to me

peace

Scopions understand one another. It is an energy you have to 'know' to understand. I find Scorpios inmarried to other Scorpios in greater frequency than other signs. That is my experience, anyway.

Virgos tend to do that as well. My mother, in her later life, married herself. (he was born the same day)

The more people progress on the path of integration the less opposite polarity they manifest. This is my experience. I can see myself in all of you.
Right now I'm dead...those boys here have kept me busy. It has been a Fischer Price experience. After feeding them I even read a Dr. Seuss bedtime story to the eldest. Now babysitting, while son went out to see friends. Air is too cool for having the ceiling fan on and too hot not to. Think I'll find myself a sheet and cover up and sleep a bit.

I never put on my shoes without checking for scorpions first. Living in the tropics you get used to that. It's a must habit. We had a puma sleeping in the tree of our entrance gate once. I don't go for long walks in Costa Rica the way I do in Barbados. Too dangerous.

When I was young (4 or 5), I was out playing near the curb in Montreal. It was a cold fall day and there was a crust of ice on the water in the curb. Water was flowing beneath and I was breaking the ice as I clomped along.
Suddenly this shape wizzed by under the ice. It was an animal and I was fascinated. I watched it swim under the ice down the street. I saw up a ways that the ice ended at a drain. I don't know from where but I got a paper bag ready and when the creature got to the drain I was ready.
I took my catch home to my mom, who was heavy with my unborn sister. I handed her the bag, all proud and stuff. I asked her what kind of animal it was. She opened the bag and this thing jumped up onto her shoulder, clambered onto her head and jumped to freedom from there.
My mom freaked and tripped on the ice and fell hard.
I had caught a rat in my bag!

Ernie your poor mum! What a shock that must have been. Yeeeechh!!

yeah, when I read those words..even though it was years past and not anyone I know.. My guts nearly liquified and I went wobbly for a second. Heavily pregnant and she slammed into hard ice. Ouch. It is also that I've fallen down onto hard ice my fair share of times. The odd car accident as well. (I've been in 9 car accidents)

I find this fascinating that someone's daily life could be so potentially dangerous. Really. Like I forget myself and go for a long walk there's no risk involved. Living in Michigan will likely instill in me such a sense of carelessness the first time I go anywhere exotic I will be eaten by wild beasts. Literally happy-asshole my way right into their jaws. There's no poisonous snakes or bugs or rather mininally poisionous. No volcanoes, sinkholes, earthquakes, fires or floods. There's some bears and wolves but tend to steer clear of people. Nothing here to instill in me a sense of caution like that...

Corrupt politicians and unions don't count. An empty Auto Factory may collapse and the fall out would be long ranging but....that's about all.

Being from the north, we didn't go out in the winter, even just a block away....without telling someone where we were going... before we left. If there was no one home, we didn't bother trying to find someone to tell, it was no big deal. But the habit is ingrained. Leave a note, tell someone before you leave. Might save your life one day.

And the woods? Not without weapons. High power and high cyclic rates -Pump action, semi-auto, or lever action. We never hurt a bloody thing, it was merely common sense and prudent.

The reality is that I've got a lot of dead friends. the combination of who they were and the north itself, killed them all.

Midheaven rules the profession. Virgo is health and healing. Also music, and rhythm.

Once cleaning leaves in our garden, and some of those long thin leaves from spiky plants, I pulled a live coral snake down by it's tail. When this type bites you you are dead within 10 minutes...not enough time to get you to a clinic. Had encounters on three occasions. One house where they were urbanizing around us and the snakes were losing their habitat my cat brought some in to play with. Argghh.... In each case husband killed them. Used a shovel.

this is always fun. take the given ascendant, descendant, mid-heaven and Ic, etc..and find the degree in the chart. Then get this 'extra' view on the meaning of the specific degree. I've been lost (mildly confused) by only a few of the explanations, and felt most to be interesting and accurate.

I'm pretty sure, though, that this was proffered in the astrology thread.

My little slice of heaven portion of the planet doesn't offer much in the line of wild beast threats ... but since I am a member of the Village and *we are one* here is my contribution:





BUY A BOTTLE OF SCORPION WINE

Cobra snake or some scorpions are put into a bottle fulfilled with transparent rice wine liquor , Snake wine and Scorpion wine are asian beverages that can be found in some Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Laos Cambodia, but also in Korea, and Japan.

Here and now - just got home from an estimate, I got the job, start tomorrow.
Here's my testamony to synchronicities: This weekend was a play on the theme of "ask and be specific". I've had this before and have been baffled because most of the time I don't know how to be - I cannot read the future and so I don't know what I will need. So after some meditation and some pretty funny one-liners from my higher self having to do with God not being an accountant or an event planner, I decided to ask for a particular sum of money - nothing extravagent, just enough to catch me up. First time spirit came back with a few items I overlooked (I'm terrible at budgetting) and told me to not undersell myself. Finally I arrived at a sum that all involved were happy with. That was last night.
Guess how much the labor side of the estimate today was? Yup, the exact same number. And It was not my number but a negotiated settlement number hammered out between me and my customer.
Way cool.

I see that marketing concepts are a bit different than ours in parts of Asia. Scorpion tail in the cobras mouth is a nice touch. Darn scorpion is almost a little lobster. Perhaps a rock lobster. Cue the B-52's

So, what's your poison?
