However, it came to my attention today that MSN has been playing up on me - so much so, that messages I have been sending to others, haven't even been getting to the opposite end AT ALL. And that hasn't happened to me before as far as I am aware. This has been misinterpreted as the other person ignoring me, from which needless arguments have arisen. Also, people have been biting my head off recently based on comments I make or say - and all I can put it down to is, what I'm trying to say isn't coming out properly at all, so I can only laugh. At first I thought it was just a one off, but slowly, I'm beginning to believe in this whole retrograde thing.....

Other times, I've had keys disappear when I turn away for a moment, then be found later in another part of the house.
Same thing with books, letters, wallets, etc. It's like someone's playing a game. Maybe Mercury retrograde helps the fairies
mess with us.:rolleyes:

But I fear other  times it's bigger interdimensionals.

It's pretty complicated from what I can tell, everything works with the moon phases, the individual and general astrology,
portals, timeline manipulations, aliens, brownies, and gremlins. I think.:D

who invented this mercury retrograde thing? I had problems with internet connection for a long time and also could not enter to the forum. Still I have problems with the connection (it comes & goes) but at least I'm back at the forum!

That's just weird the stuff your company is trying to push through-- and you know they won't!  See, you can be all relaxed about it because it's not your problem.  Being a temp does have its advantages!

Here at week the quarterly Board of Directors meeting is coming up in March.  Board books have to be put together for this meeting several weeks prior and then mailed out by a specific deadline - 7 days before - by law, requiring many people to get their stuff together and write their bits to be inserted into the book.  Making Board Books is a huge process, a responsibility that's luckily not part of my job, although I do have to help with document revisions and hole punching and all that.  So, Board Books happens to coincide with Mercury retrograde....for the second MR period in a row.  !   Probably even more beyond that, but back then I wasn't paying attention.   The last time it happened, the books didn't make it out by the deadline, for the first time ever in this company's history.  This time, the office is shortstaffed since this branch office is closing on April 30th and many people have already jumped ship as a result.  The Pennsylvania office is going to become the new HQ, and they've hired on a bunch of new people as a result over in PA, and techinically they should be the ones now taking over this responsibility since they're going to need to learn how to do it anyway.......yet the majorly puppet manager of this office who does not act real, AT all, chipperly declared that *this* office can do the board books this quarter, no problem at all!    (nevermind that they're understaffed.)  The books are due by this Friday, but of course we had off on Monday for President's Day, so that gives them four days to put it all together.  Not going to happen.  There's so much I could say about the manager woman who offered up this office to do it but I won't get into it all here.  Let's just say "empty drone" that can be used as a vector.  I think all offices strategically have one in place. 

Then in the middle of composing this there was an accidental fire drill.  haha   Yup.  So everybody in the building was congregated in the parking lot.   

And from what I'm hearing it sounds as if one of the printers is conking out...and they've got a TON of stuff left to print.   It broke last time during MR, so, you know, why not go for two!

Anyway, I had totally forgotten by this weekend that it was MR then remembered again and was like, "!! ahhhHAAA!  Maybe THAT explains it!"

My kitten, Becka, likes to sleep under my desk lamp on my desk while I work in the afternoons, and for some reason she had a couple of spastic attacks and decided to knock my printer over. By the third time this happened, the printer was a goner.  (Note to self: kittens on desk - not good idea.)

Here is the culprit. Notice how innocent she looks. Appearances can be deceiving.

Aw, how cute.    Yeah, my cat LOVES the desk lamp thing!   I have a sweater that I'm no longer using bunched up on the side of the desk under the lamp for her, so she can have a cuddly "blanket" to lay on while she gets her artificial "sun." 

Oh yeah, and Jack Palance.....as noted in Ayahuasca's thread, who posted the Tim Boucher article and thread going on over at Godlike Productions, apparently the guy's already died, like, twelve times or something in other timelines that people somehow are able to remember.   haha  So his "glitch in the matrix" death, yet again, is DEFINITELY mercury retrograde in action! 

A driver driving a horse trailer to Connecticut had an accident and the horse being driven needed a temporary place to stay - so Lucky Penny (suitable name!) is now staying here at the farm temporarily.  Mercury retrograde horse. Fortunately, driver and horse were fine, but the trailer was totalled.

Celebrity deaths - Ed Bradley and Jack Palance were some of the notables who have passed away during this period. I think there were a few others not as famous.

Road stuff.  One time last week I was out for a drive and there were four separate Mercury retrograde traffic thingies going on in a span of a quarter mile - accidents, repairs, lanes blocked, etc. And on the weekend I saw a driver drive his truck into a ditch and nearly flip over. Fortunately he was fine. I haven't witnessed any kind of accident in years - interesting that it happened during retrograde.

Oh, and I was almost hit by a soccer mom driving her kids home from school yesterday afternoon at breakneck speed. (Why is it always the soccer moms?)  Fortunately, I'd gotten a message from my guidance to go extra slow on that back road during that particularl drive, even though impatient drivers behind me didn't appreciate it very much (because I was actually going the speed limit - Gods forbid!   So I had plenty of time to avoid collision with the soccer mom and her terrified little girl, who was staring at me from the passenger seat.

Oh, caught a little food poisoning from some eggs benedict at a restaurant.  Note to self: dont' eat eggs benedict.  So Sunday/Monday I was out of it.

And my printer died - which can actually be blamed on Mercury retrograde cat. My kitten, Becka, likes to sleep under my desk lamp on my desk while I work in the afternoons, and for some reason she had a couple of spastic attacks and decided to knock my printer over. By the third time this happened, the printer was a goner.  (Note to self: kittens on desk - not good idea.)

On the one hand we have the Mercury retrograde election of 2000 turning into the debacle of the bush presidency.
And the next time election day falls under a Mercury retrograde (11/7/2006), there is huge voter backlash to 2000.

Usually the retrograde effects are annoyances taht eventually are resolved, like my experience buying my house -- they forgot to itemize the borough sewer bill, and then the borough forgot to bill me for 2 years. I was a new homeowner, and there is also a county sewer bill so I didn't know about the borough bill -- and was shocked to find out that they were about to put a lien on my house for the sewer bills plus interest. Since the borough was at fault they forgave the interest and all was well. That house closing also had these fun Mercury retrograde events: I sprained my ankle the night before closing at 2 am and didn't see the (thankfully small) roach infestation during my walk -- er-- limp through, they also forgot to itemize my homeowner's insurance... but that was 16 years ago and we still live in the place, happily.

Would I settle under another Mercury retrograde -- not willingly.
Did we survive it -- of course!

The most important thing to remember during a Mercury retrograde is to check, recheck and triple check details. Use patience and discretion. It will come back to haunt you... perhaps during another Mercury retrograde!

A guy in one of the other offices sent out this hilarious email to everybody in the company detailing his business trip from hell.  It was laugh out loud funny the way he wrote it, I really wish I could reprint it here because people would get a kick out of it.   But yeah, every single thing that could possibly go wrong went wrong, from the plane being delayed, to the rental car company not having his car, then having to hike for a mile to the other rental car company in a bad area at night, which he likened to a scene out of "Escape From New York," to the hotel mistakenly cancelling his reservation and a "surreal" conversation with the desk clerk, then getting a bad room overlooking the "pool", (that's what he called it, the "pool"...makes me wonder what was wrong with it!) to a drunken guy going for a swim at 3 a.m. and capped off with the hotel not having hot water the next morning.  !  Just on and on, total madness.  I wrote him back and told him....mercury retrograde!     They always tell you not to travel during retrograde.  When I talked to him on the phone later he laughed and agreed and said he's a believer now.

Astrology is a component that the Space/Time Suit can utilize for certain types of Feed-Back and General Probability / Stochastic prediction relative to the archonic clockwork.

So like everything else in this zone of distortion, it’s something WE become Aware Of:

And as pods, caterpillars.......whatever, we incorporate such into the:

‘everybody knows that’ category and expect and react accordingly.

However, as the MapMaking Magicians WE Truly Are, WE Know that by this type of input Entering OUR Awareness:

It’s There To Be Dissolved:

And WE Respond By:

Transmuting > Transforming > Synergizing

Into Something Which Has Never Been
