Yo, 'tsup? This is a hang-out thread, nothing more, nothing less. It is designed for the senseless banter, joking around, all in good taste and without harshness, and there is no topic other than most anything goes. So smoke 'em if ya got 'em, and please folks...don't muck up nice threads with totally off-topic posts...do it here instead, out of respect for the others who are attempting to focus on the topic, and cannot because of...well, you get the point...

So this is where you spit and pick your nose, which many of you are good at, as I have been witnessing LOL...

So, who's first?

I think if we all got to pick our noses, we'd end up with different noses than the ones we have.

Oh! A comedian amongst us!! Well, that is a start...but I smelled that one coming...

Har, har...

This is a good idea, Carlo, I like this place. Where's Miss Olivia, she's always got some good gossip...

Thx for comin' by Stella. Yes, drag your friend O over here...and Blue too, although she comes and goes, like Air. Iremember when she first posted...she disappeared for weeks, then stopped back, then split...such a Gemini...i'll share some Gemini stories on this thread soon...

Hey Greg...I am in need of yet again more copies of Venus Trines. I sent one to my sweet girl, and gave another to a friend...now I am back at square one...and i want to be at Trine One!!

Could you just send one out, you can charge my card, sign it yourself, whatever. I do just want it soon...send two copies, if you could. At least it is getting out there...BTW, how are sales off the site doing? Perhaps there is a way to jumpstart it, maybe a sale from time to time...yet please send me VT@M asap...thx so much!!

Hey Stella, Greg, or Liv...what's up with the TLC site...server been down, or just unlinked? A bit confused, and I was at a good part in a story! Please advise...

I'm goin' inside to get a root beer...you guys want? Give me some change, yo, i'm broke after gettin' those books...

Carlo

Hi Carlo,

This is another of your great ideas...I like this...talk shop...just hang out...after the brain-storming, brain-draining sessions...like this idea of yours,
its cool !

This way, I can rap with leximaker...yo, dud, you listenin'?

Aim your arrows here and don't miss
Cappy is ahead of you in this one...

ciao
druid

Hi, guys!

I think Miss O's site has been moved to its proper URL now that it's registered. Sorry to sound so cryptic, but I think she's doing some last minute editing before she opens it. I'm sure she'll tell you all about it...

BTW, Druid, I keep forgetting to mention that you caught my name correctly... but you already knew that!

:^P That's all I have to say, so there. I'm in a poopy mood...my browser stinks and...I'm frustrated. Blech.

The site isn't ready yet...some typos need to be fixed. Just a couple more days, I hope. Signing off...I'm knackered. O

"Zippity do da, zippity aye, my oh my what a wonderful day, plenty of sunshine heading my way, zippity do da, zippity aye,...Mr. Bluebird on my shoulder etc...."

"Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly...."

This is a great place, Carlo, see how happy I am?........I shall try to refrain from doing that nose thing, but if I COULD "pick" my nose, I'd pick the one Marie Osmond has....

And as for expectorating...I'll leave that to my 'friend' Daisy Ellen Whatshername...You know....*smile* (is she allowed in here?)

What do think her sign is? I kinda think she might be a Moon Child with an Aries Ascendant. Moon? Let me think about that....

Well Carlo, this thread is kinda like - ah - you know that show - that one about nothing? But don't get me wrong...I like it. Sounds like we're going to have a lot of fun here.....

LOve and Peace,
Rainbow~

------------------

Carlo.....on second thought, probably this is the ONLY place where "Daisy Ellen" can hang out and not disconcert those of a more serious mind-set...oh by the way I'm pretty sure she has a Sag moon....

Anyway, I'll keep her at arm's length for awhile, just in case....

Sunshine and Lollipops,&
Peace and Love,
Rainbow~

I think her full name is Daisy Ellen Stubbs....

Cheerio,
Rainbow~

Ps don't confuse that with breakfast cereal...*Big Smile*

------------------

Hi Carlo,

Great name for the thread,...you are a real sentimentalist,..I'd love to hang out here,although not particularly good at chat meself ... maybe I can just hold up the corner wall and listen to you wiseguys and gals.

I'm with you 100 per cent on the live chat thing too,....between one finger typing and being a bit slooow it would have been a nightmare!

Best Wishes

Michael

Aaaah Michael.......pull up a chair and have a cup of peppermint tea...relax, enjoy your beverage and enjoy the conversation....

I'm not really the "official" hostess here, but am glad to see you....

Love and Peace,
Rainbow~

*gets close to Michael's ear and whispers* Michael, if it's any comfort to you, I don't give hang for live chat either...this is ideal

------------------

Hi, guys... who's Daisy Ellen??

Hey Gregorini, are you out there? I need to borrow your noodle for a minute...

Remember ages ago when I was trying to synch up the 12 solar months with the 13 lunar months and you came up with that calculation of how often a full or new moon occurred on a solstice or an equinox?

Can you reconstruct any of that again for me? Sorry to be a pain, but I really need this information... and I can't go look it up in the old hang-out because it's blown to smithereens!

Stella..........."Daisy Ellen" is my 'friend' (alter ego), and she comes in here and tries to get 'cutesy' sometimes.......she's somewhat of an innocent hayseed, but friendly and all that. So far, she's only talked with "cuzzin Carlo." I'd say she's Cancer with an Aries Ascendant and Sag Moon....I have fun with her..... *smile"

Peace and Love,
Rainbow~~~~~~~~~~sending rainbow colors of love~~~~~~~~

------------------

>Ptooey<! Well, hullo Miss Daisy, what brings you around these parts? It's usually just knuckleheads like Jay and Silent Bob hanging out in front of the store. Oh, by all means, you is wilkum here...just be careul of the shiftless layabouts, is all...

...havin' a special on hayseed burgers all this week, just so yas'all know...

Quick note, Stella -- I think I still DO have those calcs around somewhere, give me a day or so to dig 'em up. If not, I can do them again. Soon.

Golly Cahlo...what a grrrrrrreat thread!

All that talk about noses reminded me of something my friends used to say when we were just young'uns in grade school... I'll leave you with that thought....

"You can pick your friends..and you can pick your nose.... but you CAN'T pick your friend's nose!"

Peace and LOve,
PurplePeace

Purple Peace.......I remember hearing that...my aunt used to say that........

Carlo...Daisy is kinda hiding behind Granny's skirt right now, being shy..but with those two fire signs, she'll show up, eventually....

and do you think it can be arranged for me to get Marie Osmond's nose? If you can't do it through some kind of Linda magic, perhaps you know some talented surgeon who can perform the magic using pumpkins, mice, a rat, and transfer me into the "fairy princess, that I always wanted to be" *sigh*

And if you have no clout in assisting me in my dream, I still love ya anyway... Oh, I think Daisy Ellen is headed this way....(actually, SHE'S the one who needs the help).....

Thanks for tolerating all the stuff and nonsense..when I think of something serious to say, I'll post it elsewhere on this wonderful, marvelous, superkalafragalisticexpealadocious site.

LOve and Peace,
Rainbow~

Peace and Love,
Rainbow!

------------------

Hi Rainbow!

Thanks for the peppermint tea,..my favourite (I've got a Virgo Ascendant!)..I'm sure Carlo won't mind you watching the store for him,actually business may improve with all the stardust you are sprinkling around***********

This ploughboy has to get back to the fields now but I'll drop in again!

Lots of Love

Michael

Michael........you're certainly welcome for the peppermint tea....have another cup......

so - has spring arrived on the Emerald Isle? I think it's so neat to be able to communicate with likeminded people in distant countries such as you, and Shagun, and Stella and probably more that I don't know about, and all fans of our darling Linda.

I'm in Michigan, myself...USA.....and the only other country I've been to is Canada, which is pretty similiar...

But here's the Linda magic......everyone of us...no matter how far away....can gather and chat here in THE CORNER STORE in an instant.

Well dear Michael...have a nice day....I'll be back...

Love and Peace,
Rainbow~

------------------

*peeks from behind granny's skirts*..........

Howdy! This is Daisy Ellen Stubbs and mah friend Rainbow~ lets me sneak in thru her path to this here place, once 'n awhile...
Sometimes a'm a bit shy (Rainbow~ tells me I got a Cancer sun and that's why), but looks like ain't been nobody 'round here for a coon's age, so thought a'd just drop in ta say "Howdy!" (like cuzzin Minnie Pearl).

Must be that mah Aries Rising is coming thru. Ah don't know nothing 'tall 'bout that astrology stuff, but cuzzin Rainbow sez that gives me courage to do this kinda stuff.
She also sez that ah have a Sagytarrius moon, and that sometimes, ah don't know 'nuff to keep my big mouth shut!....dooogeeees! She shure right 'bout that...ah kin get m'self in a whole heap of trubble sometimes with jest talkin'....

soos, ah better go 'fore ah git m'self in trubble....Cuzzin Rainbow~ iz teachin me some stuff 'bout astrology so someday, maybe ah'll lurn a whole lot....bye bye fer now, ya all...

bunches of hugz....

Daisy Ellen Stubbs....

Oh boy.....I wasn't sure if I should let her in here or not, but she wanted to come in and say hi....if she becomes annoying, I'll ban her! But she's real people...got a good heart....we're related...you'll see a little of me in her.....and a little of her in me...

And now - I walked into this store and it seems like the TWILIGHT ZONE - nobody here...They've been her tho...I see empty coffee and tea cups...empty sunflower and pumpkin seed wrappers.....(where are the Virgos? Let's tidy up)... no cigarette butts - that's good....and one of the ladies was wearing Vanilla perfume...hmmmm...have they all taken off because of the Cosmic Weather Conditions?

Well anyway, I'll just leave this note and stick it on the cash register here for everyone to see when they come back....

Love and Peace,
Rainbow~

------------------

Hey, what's this here note on the cash register? Lessee ... hmmmmmm, "Gone fishin', make yerself to home???"

Heh, heh, them rascals can't fool me ... gone fishin' indeed. I reckon with that purty little Venus trine Mars we got goin' on now, they just all slipped out to go sparkin' down by the pond.

BUSTED!

Ha! This iz Daisy Ellen and shure 'nuf ah saw Rainbow down by the pond. Thought she was with somon at furst, cuz she kept saying ah gotta ketchum, gotta ketchum...but poor Rainbow...guess she didn't ketchum..

anyways ah just snuck in here for a minute and looks like last visiter left behind a goobers wrapper...

gotta go home...grannyz got some fried chicken, buskuts and gravy...ah'll be back

you all come back too now, hear?
Hugz,
Daisy Ellen Stubbs.

Rainbow, you asked about my yurt over on the Cosmic Weather Report. We actually did live in the yurt for a while, but when we moved to our log cabin homestead in the mountains a couple of years ago I dismantled the yurt and moved it up the hill from the cabin -- it's now my home "office," and is actually where this website is located!

The yurt is a WONDERFUL structure, of Mongolian origin. Mine is 24' in diameter, with a steeply pitched wood-beamed roof and a circular skylight, so it feels very cathedral-like inside -- a very meditative workspace. It's extremely practical, too (I AM a Virgo Sun!), standing up beautifully to high winds and heavy snow loads, and well enough insulated that a crackling fire in its small woodstove keeps it toasty warm in the deep of winter. Conversely, opening the windows and skylight sets up a natural convection airflow that keeps it cool and breezy in the summer. I love it!

Here's a pic: http://www.gypsyheart.net/images/gypsy.jpg

Greg.....WOW!....looks so cozy....both the cabin and the yurt, and I can well imagine the yurt is a medatative spot, the way you describe the interior...and it was so cool to see where the website is...in fact, the whole setting there looks like it would be real easy to be in touch with your higher sELFS....remote, far from the madding crowd.....could you tell me what direction the yurt is from the cabin (I always like to know these things) then I can visualise it as it really is...well, you know what I mean..

Native Americans (as you probably know) believe the circle is sacred, and you are in your own sacred circle in the yurt.

Thanks for sharing Gregory...oh another thing - would you mind telling me what your take is on the y2k thing? Looks like you guys have the perfect spot if all goes haywire (sounds like I'm being negative, but My Capricorn Sun, Mercury and Jupiter, makes me cautious, and not one to take chances)...I started to make plans to move to a remote spot too. It was beautiful, right on a lake with a fantastic view, birds chirping, little animals running around, and no sounds of traffic. I did start to stockpile things, but (gotta blame it on somebody) - good old Uranus (transiting my fourth house and squaring my Mars in Scorpio) brought some "unexpectedness" into my life, so now I guess I'll just expect the unexpected....Oh well, I've learned to go with the flow, so to speak....makes it easier......

Again, thanks for sharing....I can now invision you and Firesong in your own tranquil setting....

LOve and peace,
Rainbow~

------------------

Believe it or not, y2k has already come up on the forums! Check it out: [Sorry, oudated link! Use search engine.]000011.html">What do you say about Y2K?

Thanks Gregory.....I checked it out......it eases this Capricorn mind a bit too...

Love and Peace,
Rainbow~

------------------

Well land o goshen! It's me Daisy Ellen, jest stoppin bah to say howdy..."Howdy!"

Cain't think o nothin more to say, so ah'll be on mah way...bye now...

Hugz,
Daisly Ellen

------------------

No bad vibes for the proprietor

Karen?..........bad vibes????.......oh my gosh, I hope not...

Love and Peace,
Rainbow~

Helllllloooooooooo (echo) Anybody here?

Looks like no one's hanging out here anymore. And this is such a 'comfy' place....

Well if I remember, this is a room where we can talk about anything, so I'm going to talk about anything.

First of all, when this site was down, I felt "lost" cuz I had come to know and love some of the people who hang out here. And I was very very excited when our dedicated Virgo, Gregory worked and worked and worked to get it back up again...

And then I was gone for two days, and now I'm working with a new computer....no, it's not mine, but my son's girlfriend's. It's brand new and is going to spoil me when I have to go back to my "antique." I can't believe how FAST all the stuff comes in....

I wish I knew Barney's Sun sign...Barney is our cat. He is over l0 years old and such an lovable creature....he's big with gray fluffy fur...

Well, guess I'll depart from the store....looks like Daisy Ellen has not even been here for awhile....

Hope to meet up with you all, later.

Love and Peace,
Rainbow~

Hiya neighbah,

Hi Rainbow and Cahlo. I haven't been hanging out much the past couple o' days because, well, truth to tell, I've been plum tuckered out. But them juices is startin' to flow agin, I kin feel a fountain of profundity gettin' geared up to spew forth.

Blessins,

Cahlo

Know what? I've been wondering exactly where this place is - you know like in the Twilight Zone, or in another dimension or something. But I think I got it figured out....this store is located in Cripple Creek.......the Cripple Creek of Cyberspace......

And Carlo, you trusting soul to allow us to come and go as we please....so I'll grab a fountin drink and paper on my way out and you'll find the change on the counter...

Gregory, glad you made your way over here. I certainly hope you got the much needed rest you deserve, afer all your hard work. And after you've recharged your batteries, we can look forward to hearing more from you.

So glad to see ya'all coming back. Don't know where Daisy Ellen is....haven't seen her for awhile either...she probably found herself a 'feller.' (She's ALWAYS looking!)

I'll be back....

Love and Peace,
Rainbow~

Mainly, I'm a CRANE........ but have a SUBMARINE rising.......... and a GHOST SHIP moon.........

So I'm at sea a lot, but when I do get my land legs, I try and go up, up, up, and then old Saturn knocks me back a peg or two, so I head for sea again....to deeply ponder in the sub, and dream in the ghost ship....

Love and Peace,
Rainbow~

Well Howdy Foggy!

Welcome to the Corner Store on the Linda Goodman Website..am glad you started here...as you might have noticed this is a place where we can kick back, relax and talk about most anything......we can let our hair down here - so to speak.

Other threads will be more serious and usually stick to the topic they are discussing.

When you get out of the bath, stroll around, and you'll find oodles of interesting topics...I think you're going to enjoy yourself....lots of nice folks here...warm, loving....

Love & Peace,
Rainbow~

------------------

Hello Foggy :
