@soup Man, I Love this sign 🤣. Great outlet for Pluto energy. It would be so tempting to do a prank with it; put it out the front of someone’s house 🤣.
@hades-moon Tempting is right! But not as a prank. I'd like to lay this magic on some folks that are deserving 🤣 🤣
People literally hire root workers down here 🤣
@hades-moon 🤣 I know. But it's true. They believe in it whole heartedly. 😳
The deep South. Hoodoo. They use herbs, roots, potions, and spells to help and sometimes to hurt recipients. To ‘put a root’ on a person generally means to use hoodoo/voodoo or supernatural ceremonies with ritual objects and incantations to cause harm or perhaps ‘bad karma’ to befall one’s enemy. Root doctors are still common here. I am listening to a neighbor, and she is fascinating, but it is a little frightening too.... I wouldn't piss her off haha
@soup 😄How extraordinary!. Yes, very serious business, best to keep on their good side, for sure 🤣. This stuff is very interesting at a safe distance.
My husband is in a mood. Says he doesn't live his life to please other people. Does not give a flying f what anyone thinks of him. Got over that, lifetimes ago.
He adds, if anyone says anything to him, "Well, you know where your ass is. That's where you can stuff it."
Alternative realities abound.
He had some other interesting remarks about how you can't reason with people, and what that means.
He's got Jupiter in Sagittarius.
A former coach of my college track team was murdered this morning by her ex-MIL, who then turned the gun on herself. It was in broad daylight in a nice area. Her 1-year old daughter was in the backseat of the car that she was about to get into. She also leaves a daughter who turned 4 yesterday and was the center of the custody dispute. She taught autistic kids for many years when she wasn't coaching. She was a nice person with a steady presence supporting our team (Taurus sun). I am just so shocked, and devastated for her daughters.
@tbb 😪 OMG! Did the ex-MIL do this because of her son? Son fighting for custody?
I think about what my GD is going through without her mama right now. How could the MIL do such a thing? This is the worst thing I have heard in forever. So sad.
Thank you all for your condolences. @soup you are right, it was about custody. Now the 4 year old is with the father until they can go to court Monday and the 1 year old IVF baby is an orphan and with a cousin. We were all a tight knit track team and about 9 of them are still my best friends today. A few of them married guys from the track team, some who were a few years older and were teammates with my coach. A few are actually traveling and in Paris together to watch the Olympics.
It is just so shocking. We are beside ourselves. This created generational trauma in an instant. It is hard to comprehend what kind of human could do this to their family.
@tbb That is sick and sad. Was there any sign that the MIL was unhinged? What about the dad? This is incomprehensible. 😔
@lislioness she filed at least 5 domestic incident reports with the police over the past few years and her ex was continuing to harass her. I don't know anything about the ex-MIL aside from the news reporting she was a terminally ill (cancer) retired probation officer. I don't want to make generalizations but perhaps the woman was used to pushing people around. This takes a special kind of evil though.
@tbb I wish I could properly express how devastated my precious GD is without her mother. My son does everything he can but no one can take a mother's place. I wish I could correct that situation. Let her come back, take me. My girl is suffering. That woman must have been a lunatic
@soup I agree. My mom lost her mother at age 12 and has a personality disorder as a result of the chaos that followed. I am going to continue working through healing the trauma that was passed down for the rest of my life.
Your GD was given quite the load to bear. Children are not equipped for that. They are innocent victims forced to dig deep and pick up the pieces, because we are all aware that hurt people hurt others. Unfortunately we live in a society where taking responsibility, avoiding short cuts, and learning from the past are not exactly front and center values.
@tbb I'm so sorry!
This is absolutely horrible. The poor kids. It's too traumatic to imagine.
@tbb I'm so sorry.
I can't even imagine how her family feels or how you might feel knowing she'd been asking the cops for help with her ex before this.
@rusalka I have been thinking about her parents too, given the way they lost their daughter and the uncertainty about their granddaughter now too. I am sure there is going to be a big investigation into whether the father knew of his mother's plans. If they can't prove anything though, all of the BS that he pulled calling CP and harassing her won't matter since he as the father is most likely to get custody..
Neighbor still in the hospital in the city. Son is going up there for the weekend, to be with her. No change. Just hoping for a liver. Not sure how the list works, but she sure did a lot to get on it.
@sue-ellen thanks. Her son sent a pic of her, sitting up in a hospital bed, looking fine. Except she's not fine! However, she is in place if a liver turns up. I guess she really can't do anything but be in bed.
@elsa She's in place for care as well. Accumulated fluid (ascites) can be drained.
Still hoping the for the best outcome.
@elsa It would be lovely to hear that this dear lady receives a liver and becomes well again. Saying a prayer 🙏🏻.
I was just thinking about astrology today and Taurus energy, how coincidental; i've had old platforms i was in for many years since i was young, and old schoolmates /colleagues, and taurus were the only ones that stuck to me all my life.
I dont know whats in my chart, but i mostly attract men, (my venus is jacked up) lol and few female friends who are super close to me. but, even when i got married, they didnt leave as many men/guy friends do. They still there right where we left off ^^ and they always stayed respectful. Scorpio their opposition stays, too if we happen to find eachother, but they are usually wandering the earth.lol Unless i marry one, like i did. ^^
We're back from our trip to North Carolina. I made it home Thursday night at 10. We had lunch and a visit with our Tennessee brother before taking sister home and my drive home. I think I'll nap today. My sister is exhausted. It has been and continues to be a long healing process to recover from her breast cancer. She was so happy to be everywhere we went. I'm happy she got out of the house to go anywhere other than a medical appointment.
I'm caught up with reading this thread on the forum. I'll probably never catch up with the rest. Sorry.
I'm so glad to be home. I missed my Big Sadge.
Sounds like a good trip! Glad your sister was able to attend and enjoy herself.
