As if we needed more crap, there is a woot-off in progress.

Yes, but there are tactical considerations which lie beyond my pay-grade.

Gotcha, now back to our regularly scheduled B:rolleyes:x discussions.

I was very intrigued as there is a certain poster in the main Forum that when he posts, I read very carefully. His insight into the coming changes and the questions that he posed were interesting indeed.@:-)

"Changes" with respect to CO and UA but not by the presented per se by the agent of CHANGE. In this case as presented by CM but not Copa.:D

Don't ask. It's a frightening and dangerous book.

I've been exposed to some less-than-mainstream thinking. I've got a good friend from college who now lives/works/studies at a commune/school that teaches Anthroposophy in the South of England.

In the form of numerology. It's a simple calculation based on your birtdate. That's your birth number. Then you look in the book and it's freaky how accurate it is. Some lawyers use it to figure out the strengths and weakness of the people they are up against. That's where it gets dangerous. Most people misinterprete the info.

See -- you're giving 'energy' to those 'intentions' -- just shrug it off (yeah, I know -- easier said than done!:rolleyes:)! You need to live in the 'moments' as opposed to the minutes -- quality vs. quantity!^:-: (I know that some here may debate that!;))

I've always considered systems like that (and the I Ching, Astrology, etc.) as simply templates that engage our own intuition or subconscious. The system provides you a frame for analyzing a pre-existing issue, and the frame causes you to analyze it in a new way, but still based on notions that were already kicking around in your own subconscious. The net effect, for all intents and purposes, is insight (or not, if it doesn't help).

There I go, working in the negative.

Rule 11 sanctions is the red headed stepchild of the FRCP.

A load ask for it, no one gets it.

I ran into a baker botts senior associate on the plane. After it went tech we discussed who he was going to bill for the delay.
