Mercury Retro-Bats Flashback: The Last Time Saturn Was Here…
Okay peeps just a few more days until Mercury goes Direct – back up your data and watch the mixed messaging. Faith-healing or just-wait may fix your screwed appliance by next Wednesday. Meanwhile, Saturn is also in territory it has not been in for (eek) 29 years ago & the last time Saturn was at this point this Devo song was massive…
My computer is a beeeeeeping beepface beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. For beeeeeeeps sakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAR
Poor prowln. I get tetchy when my IT dept goes on the blink too. (ok tetchier)
Friggin heck Uber this Merc RX has been giving me the right royal shits. Aside from the “having to reinstall the entire computer system from scratch” saga, now there’s all these fuggin irritating little glitches like a missing device driver here, a stuffed colour profile there. Totally yawnsome.
Sounds like IT purgatory not hell. hmm. Well, you can employ a ‘cable guy’ and he can fix everything (probably) and you pay him and it goes away?
Don’t think so.
Just think of those less fortunate than yourself who wouldn’t know a color profile from a device driver, or that it was glitched in the first place.
oh they would be able to tell that it was glitched – the screen was yellow! LOL … but yes at least it’s stuff I know how to fix myself. Blessed be the technically minded. Although I still have to add up on my fingers.
are you a mac girl ? if not, why not ?
once you go mac….
I feel like such a bimbo. Mine completely died yesterday. Kaput. Wouldn’t turn on. Completely turned itself off during my 1st ever download of a tv show. Me thinking – eep virus?? Wtf. Found out this morning that um…er…the charger wasn’t actually plugged in … meanwhile i’m texting my friend currently in germany saying laptop has died. what do i do?
la de dah de dah….I would still like to blame merc retro instead of my own stoopidity
almost made a Mac crack early on – but resisted……open box, plug in, follow online prompts re how to connect the net & bingo!!
plus they’re sexy.
teeheeehhee Lexi *flicks blond hair / files nail*
xox
am so neurotic re things tech if it were me that scenario’d evoke bout of self-guilting re did I inadverantly download porn & this be punishment LOL
eek alright! I have fab memories of me & my twin brother dancing spazzily in totally excited giggle-mode to this song. Priceless.
Hah, 29 years ago I’d just worked out how to walk up in Port Douglas….. lol
You learnt to walk to a Devo soundtrack?
Postmod, what’s your avatar? Is that Uluru in the background? Foreground looks like a bronze tortoise on a plinth. Do I need my eyes checked?
Hah – I doubt I learned to walk to Devo…. Talking Heads maybe…
It is Uluru in the background – I was out there at the beginning of the month (across the full moon), and the foreground is the back of the trailer with swags tied to the roof. But I can roll with a tortoise on a plinth, altho, having just squinted my eyes I’d say a bandicoot or similar….
One of these days I’ll get out to the centre. I bet Uluru emits major qi.
My bread machine went bonkers this week. I am taking the ‘wait & see’ approach.
I am desperately waiting for references to be conducted for a dream job and Mercury to go to direct so I can submit my taxes. LOL.
Wait and See indeed but man I think I am going to throw a Mercury Direct party on Wednesday!
…..its the bloody stove~!
Every time I go to pop the kettle on, the safety switch activates and we lose all power. And I simply can’t get it together without listening to 3PBS in the morning…. Why~?!
Cos they make me laugh. And they play the coolest, funkiest, most hip ~n~ happening music in the whole of Mel~burrr~ne.
Love to our wunnerful bloggers and bloggettes…..
GO SAINTS~!!!!!!!!
Hoist the kettle. Wiring iz busted. Our flash stainless steel number did same at beginning of merc retro. We’d only had it since xmas, but we do make endless cups of tea. Still, they don’t make stuff like they used to.
So I’m staring at that go saints thing thinking god I suspect there’s more sinners here and then it clicks – a sporting reference. I love my birthday for many reasons but it falling on grand final weekend is one of the best – means I can always get a reservation for dinner and it’s the best shopping day of the year – you could shoot a cannon down bourke street mall and hit no-one.
I wonder if merc retro will mess with the game? Linesmen calls all wrong? Do they have linesmen in that game? Doesn’t the winning team always cheat? That’s what the losers always tell me on monday morning lol.
May the best team win!
happy birthday whatever x
crikey davidl thanks – does that mean our fences are mended? I realise peeps need time to get over stuff or see things in a different way or whatever it is that happened after the big glitcharama (god lets not go there again but if it’s any consolation it was sumthing I had to do to work out how not to do things it was a total innocent learning experience even if it seemed otherwise to the onlooker – and I could always see how it did look otherwise) but I kinda miss some of your banter. Don’t let it go to your head tho LOL
happy bday whatevs – am used to bday falling on footy finals weekend…….had a BBQ planned tom &, um, cancelled it!!
anyways dishwasher’s bung so restaurant is way perferable.
have a good one whatever you do lol!!
Yeah thanks RLP and best day born wishes to you for yours – good you got rid of the high maintenance artiste he sounds toxic. It’s small bubbles all the way for me and I suspect for you too x
Hope you have a bubbly Happy Birthday whatever!
O hey SR – have never really known how to say this – I don’t think this is classed as drunk txting is it? I just had some flower essence but I don’t think it’s gone to my head LOL – you know through the “debacle” of a while back just want you to know I deliberately stopped directly talking to you because I knew you wouldn’t agree with my actions. I decided it was better just to remove myself from direct communication with you rather than perhaps hurt your feelings.
Had to work out which parts of OB were real and which were defense mechanisms / polite facades built up in order to be able to cope in a dog eat dog world. Personality traits learned not innate were ruling my world. A life lived not ruffling anyones feathers or rocking the boat and then sporadically lashing out and letting out the angry at being silenced part of me was exhausting. I felt like a hollow person. I was being who people expected me to be and showing them what I thought they wanted to see and not how and who I really am – which is a combination of all the different manifestations. I did what some peeps would never dream of doing and let all the separate angles of the persona have control for a while so I could work out which one was really me – a mad science experiment that took on a life of its own LOL. Balance for the libran is the key and I didn’t have that – the hardest part was I was actually aware of it – would see myself do and say things and think oh fuq you’re people pleasing again when really you just want to tell them to fuq off or vice versa.
So with knowledge of the astro at work in my life I realised it was the ideal time to deal with this splintered self issue. To face all of me and integrate the parts I wanted to keep and oust the parts I didn’t. Homeopathy and some crazy hypnotherapy caused a major revolution within – I actually saw the place and time in my life where the rift occurred and experienced the emotions of the child who experienced it for the first time – I had blocked it out and pretended everything was fine throughout my life when it wasn’t.
Neptune square Neptune & Pluto square Chiron not to mention all the other crazy aqua weirding & saturnine shenanigans on this innately uranian chick over the last few months has been entirely cathartic. I have emerged feeling more “together” and certain than ever before. Thanks for being the awesome woman you are SR – your birthday wishes are heart felt. xxx
Many happy solar returns whatever. Hope you have fun! 8)
drunk blogging perhaps? hehe
It’s all cool whatever. Good to hear you have emerged feeling more “together”. Can’t be easy with all that air in your chart. I struggle integrating my Sagg moon with Scorp sun, Cap rising and my Libra venus! Better than being ALL Scorp though…. hehe.
Knowledge of astro does wonders though doesn’t it? even if the breakthroughs are not always immediate. Do what you feel, we all learn from it in the end. Sorry for my lack of eloquence this evening (if ever!). This blog has consumed way too much of my life and time. Mystic should have a warning on the home page!
I actually thought of you yesterday after my own mini “CAPS debacle”. Felt like disappearing myself and coming back with a new avatar… “i’ll be a chucking an OB” i thought to myself. Hehe…
Then i woke up this morning, logged on, read a few posts and decided the best approach is to not to take it all too seriously.
Still… i like the idea of coming back incognito – the name came to me straight away too. Been asking myself what it means to have a voice here, to be recognised. Nobody knows who i am, does it really matter? Dunno, just ideas floating around in my head at the moment….
thanks for sharing.
Namaste
Happy birthday Whatever – hope you have a sunshine day
Kudos for all the work you have been doing on yourself too – never easy I know.
Shows up a day late and dollar short with party hat and horn…
~sniff~
Happy Belated Uber!…
Happy B-day and you go girl, Rock a Billy Babe..
Happy Birth Day & Happy New You Whatevah’ (is whatevah okay? Cuz it sounds hip….”ya know what I’m sayin’?
)
Whatever, well that explains why sometimes I got an ob-esque flashback when reading your posts.Gawd I’m walking clueless most of the time…and I think I missed any meltdown…I mean I read the OB I’m outta here comment, but hadn’t connected any interactions here as a predating whatever prompted your need to vamoose.(no pun intended, but it’s the best I’ve got) anyways….happy birthday for whenever this weekend.
Also big congrats for putting the hours in to work with yourself, and like you that much more…now that’s a gift that keeps on giving.
O and thx for the BDAY love peeps appreciated – you are TOTALLY hip Sweetpea : 0 )
it’s you who popped up on the other post MS M ? wasn’t sure so I ant trailed back here – did your team win? Soz I know about the typhoon in the phillipines but I have no idea who won the GF LOL. Hope you had a great time whatever the outcome.
Ah yes, I remember this song well. Because it was played at my CHRISTENING. When I was a little baby. Sighhh. I have had it with this mercury retro. Its doing my head in. Very minor things but a LOT of them. And a lot of lost objects. People misinterpreting me. BUT trains and buses seem to be running on time. Which given where i live is somewhat unusual
It took me an hour to put my 6 year old to bed, just got him to sleep when I go to charge my phone. easy right? went to plug phone in cord that is one of five device cables sticking out of the point, thats fine, …as I pulled the cable I knock over 3 empty half drunk fanta cans …all over the bench the floor, the fish tank palava, and cables. This clanging of aluminium cans on the tile floor and my swearing, wakes 6 year old who walks in, and it goes on from there.. Im blaming retro merc and my wife who is away working.
Hilarious, DaveyL ~X
actually in a positive light, the fanta did a great job lifting a stain on the tiles ?
Now theres a new product ‘Fantabulous’ ….unlike other floor cleaners it tastes great !
David somehow I just never saw you as a fantaguy. Do u know how much sugar is in that stuff? Sorry can’t help myself – all those planets in Virgo plus prog sun & tran Venus. Tran Venus has been interesting – developed a major crush on a multiple aqua … But I digress, get rid of fanta and the little bloke will sleep easier.
It was a special treat while mamma was away, for dadda..
Sounds totally Aries Daveyl, x
hey seuss does this mean a gangly boy with braces (who eventually grew up to be a smokin hot man) will lunge at me and stick his tongue in my mouth? So it was 29 years ago that I was first kissed it seems – devo was playing when this life changing event occurred and I also have a vague memory of the residents “commercials” on the big day. I wonder if I should webstalk him… find out whose mouth he has his tongue in now. It better not be tiffany – that bitch was always after him LOL. Yes that’s a joke but I have over the years discovered my school friends who had secret crushes at puberty have since re-grouped as adults and hooked up – it kinda creeps me out – the world is a big place you know? MOVE ON PEOPLE, MOVE ON
don’t talk to me about Merc retro – Day 2 of EBay Buyers trying to pay me by PayPal – 1 of 3 FINALLY shows on PayPal – BUT NOT in my bank a/c – oh so so so boring – 1.5 hours yesterday on live online virtual help desk before left in tears of frustration & left to murder a bottle of Shiraz at the local!!
Oh the saga continues – grunt, sigh, growl…pray?!!
I have to say this Mercury retro has affected me & apparently, everyone (especially my workplace, where every email is bouncing back, computers have stopped working), unpaid bills from the WAY past rolling up, much worse than any for at least a year… It’s been really tough & ridiculous, normally I & I guess all other astro-informed types just prep & avoid the shitzone. Must be that Saturn/Uranus tug of war stepping into the fray…
