Saturday's Reading

It went well, and had some interesting aspects. I went to Izolde last year and she was insightful and helpful. I wish I'd written it down at the time; I did mention it in my blog but without any details. I took a picture of the cards and this it:


OK, this is hard to look at, but the first card that I picked is the purply-looking card (the Nine of Swords) in the center on top of the other card, which is something like current events. She said that it looks like there are a lot of strong things going on in my life, and I will want to make radical changes in my life, but shouldn't until I get through them. (Makes sense so far... and there are a lot of really emotionally "strong" events going on in my life.)


Under that card is the Nine of... uh... oh, boy. You can see why I'm not cut out to do this... What was it? The Nine of Aces - no, sorry, the Ace of Rods - means in conjunction with the other card, that there are a lot of negative emotions right now, but underneath it I'm normally a very happy person. I smiled at that. She is right. I have not been my truly happy, feeling-good self all summer. I felt good in little bits and pieces, but my personal life has been fraught with so much emotionally bad and draining things that I haven't been able to really feel that way - joyous. Happy in that momentarily distracted way that I have but not all-the-time happy. Feeling joy, something I miss.

Let me look at the image again. The next card is the - oh, boy. I can't tell which is what. I'm looking at this and thinking that the Swords card was the one that showed happiness as my normally primary emotion. I can remember that the three cards to the right are the ones representing Luis and our relationship; the three left one represent my professional life and its direction. The main feeling was one of positive indication... Luis wasn't going anywhere and I wasn't changing jobs. Good - because I very dearly love both. Still, it takes work for this. Not that I don't know that.
The general outlook is more positive. Thank the gods.

Well, it was good and I felt better. And she's really a great person.

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really fair that she’s up for a MasterChef win aft

A.W.A.D. - 14-Letter Words, 14-Letter Definitions

Back in 1994, when I founded Wordsmith.org on a Pi Day (March 14), I had no idea that one day we'd be celebrating its quadridecennial. Here's what the last 14 years look in numbers: So far we have sent out 3,782 unique words and 297 AWADmail compilations to 640,000 present subscribers in 200 countries, that is more than 1.6 billion pieces of email. Well, this week we're seeing all things 14. We'll feature words that are 14 letters long, and define each of them in 14 letters. acritochromacy (uh-KRIT-o-kro-muh-see) noun Color blindness. [From Greek akritos (undistinguishing) + chroma (color).] tintinnabulate (tin-ti-NAB-yuh-layt) verb intr. To ring; to tinkle.

An Interesting Wife Swap...

Image
I'm catching up on our Wife Swap recordings. I'm watching the epiode Burroughs/Padovan-Hickman one that aired on 17 April 2009. The one I watched just before was really quite satisfying - the families both learned a lot and seemed to really take it to heart. This one, however, is back to the familiar mold of putting families that are so totally diametrically opposite families together that they almost can't get along. This is interesting, though, because the Padovan-Hickmans have electricity but don't use it, don't flush often, go for a week without showering and then the whole family uses the same bathwater... I can see where that would be hard, especially for me in that I have very oily skin and hair and would look rather wretched after the next day. But the family themselves are very likable and fun, the father looks more like a kindly grandfather, but really is quite intelligent and pleasant. I would have trouble with the clean thing and I'd miss my iPod
