calling all Virgos... calling all Virgos

[In_The_Wind]

we're awesome although we never say that ... don't you agree> <~BTW our birthstone is this color

:woohoo: discuss

[stellanoir]

1. yeah we are

as soon as we overcome that tiny little virgin/whore complex issue, and then transcend that slightly bothersome "selfless service to mankind" thingy, we're wayyy cool.

[Cha]

2. I'm Virgo Rising..

I can relate!

[In_The_Wind]

6. do you feel that puts an edge on your sign ... a little too sharp

BTW ... what is your sign?

[Cha]

95. Leo, Moon in

Gemini :crazy:

[In_The_Wind]

105. yikes ~ zidzi

:hide: Virgo, Leo, Gemini yep :crazy:

[Eurobabe]

119. me too, very late virgo rising

and my husband's virgo sun is right on my rising sign. we have a ton of double whammies. (conjunctions)

[Cha]

135. Me too...26 degrees

Virgo Rising.

[In_The_Wind]

4. yep ~ that fits us to a T

:hi:

[acmavm]

8. Yeah, I married two clowns 'cuz I thought I could fix 'em. But these f***s

were so flawed that they were beyond all hope. And I've taken in every stray member of my family as well. Even my Dad who took off on us when we were kids and half my brothers and sisters got adopted out. But I let him live with me for seven years after he got old and sick.

Virgos are seriouly nuts, but we're also not afraid of anything. And we're smart. And loyal (to a fault).

And as for the virgin/whore thing, I've learned not to sweat the small stuff.

[In_The_Wind]

13. above and beyond the call of duty !

:wow:

we need to be nice to ourselves :shrug: but we rarely are cause we're so busy taking care of everyone else


you are so right ~ we're smart, loyal, fearless nuts ... ain't it grand:woohoo: to be a virgin/whore ... how do we do it

[acmavm]

15. Just natural I guess.

.

[Sapphocrat]

44. Wrong, my fellow Virgo!

Virgos are seriouly nuts, but we're also not afraid of anything.

We're not nuts -- only too idealistic, as we keep believing people will live up to our exacting standards, and then we're always disappointed when they fai--

Oops. Wait. You're right. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results every time is nuts.

OK, you got me there. But I'll still disagree on "not afraid of anything." Maybe you've got Leo or Gemini rising somewhere, but me, I'm afraid of just about everything -- or, more accurately, I worry about everything. Worry eats me alive.

Still, even the biggest worriers among us often surprise ourselves during confrontations. It doesn't take much thought to battle an opponent (the battle is almost always verbal), because synthesis of ideas comes so naturally and quickly to most of us.

And we're smart. And loyal (to a fault).

And intensely self-critical, paradoxically critical of others yet quite forgiving, prone to holding all our stress in our bellies (who else has so many ulcers and reproductive problems?), insanely phobic about our health (you show me a Virgo's medicine cabinet, and I'll show you a stock of cures to rival the local health-food store), obsessive (how many times do YOU preview a post before submitting it?), and excellent judges of human nature (we make great shrinks, authors, and nurses)... although when smitten, our fabulous judgment often flies right out the window. (We're also very susceptible to flattery, because we're naturally self-effacing, and it's sometimes difficult for us to understand why anyone could like us in "that way.")

And as for the virgin/whore thing, I've learned not to sweat the small stuff.

As for the virgin/whore thing, it's one of our greatest assets. Most of us are (once you get our motors running) the biggest kinkazoids on the planet, rivaling only Scorpios -- except we're not as forward about it as Scorps are. (I would have said we rival Saggitarians in the sex department, but we're not generally as promiscuous - LOL - and most of us are NOT compelled to be surrounded by people 24/7).

What's so great about the virgin/whore thing is that we come across like Carmelite nuns -- which leads to big surprises for our partners. So we often have a sense of mystery that is very alluring to those who like a challenge... and the payoff, I am told, is worth it. LOL

Oh, yeah -- and almost all Virgos have eyes that can bore right through a person.

Sign me,
9/18/61, Cancer rising; third phase of Virgo (artistic slob, as opposed to mathematical neat freak)

[foreigncorrespondent]

48. Oh yeah!

and the payoff, I am told, is worth it. LOL

I can vouch for THAT! :evilgrin:

[libnnc]

97. Holla!! 9/18/70 here

"As for the virgin/whore thing, it's one of our greatest assets.

pegged me to a tee in that post :evilgrin:

[Sapphocrat]

131. And probably...

...Greta Garbo, Frankie Avalon, Jada Pinkett, and Robert Blake, all fellow 9/18ers.

(Hm, at least one of those make a picture I probably shouldn't have put in anyone's head!)

[In_The_Wind]

137. there is one particular person in that group that I would like to forget

[In_The_Wind]

138. motors revved-up and running

for people who do not know what Virgos are like this can come as quite a surprise:evilgrin:

[LynzM]

103. Sappho, this is nuts

You are sitting there describing me, having never met me. Wild. And correct, in so many ways. Wow.

[In_The_Wind]

106. *giggle*

[Sapphocrat]

133. But of course! ;)

Never mind all that textbook garbage about the cold, unemotional, aloof stuff; high analytical function and impeccable spelling do not preclude an irrepressible kink factor.

(However, I have observed that Virgos often become voracious readers of sex manuals long before that first sexual experience -- not for the titillation*, but simply because we want to make sure we're doing it right, even the first time out! LOL)

Frankly, I think it must have been a Virgo who first promoted the cold, sexless image to throw everybody else off.

The result is a lot of bad press. But it does help us keep the rest of 'em guessing!


* P.S. We can also use words like "titillation" without giggling. Base humor and slapstick do little for most of us; we're generally more impressed and delighted by genuine cleverness... and humor that requires some sort of "back knowledge." We like anything that reminds us we're smart. ;) (Which is why all-night Trivial Pursuit tournaments and yelling at Alex Trebek's occasional mispronunciation of a place name are such attractive pastimes.)

[In_The_Wind]

139. LynzM that sounds like a perfect way to be!

[In_The_Wind]

120. Sapphocrat ~ you've obviously thought this whole thing out quite well.

That's also very normal for a Virgo.


BTW ~ you don't even want to know how many times I preview a post!

[Melynn]

130. And loyal (to a fault).

I've been burned by the loyal to a fault thing. Still it's cool to be Virgo. :hi:

[In_The_Wind]

140. we have a have a hard time of accepting it when people ...

don't live up to our expectations because as Virgos we really have high hopes for our friends and loved ones

[DemBones DemBones]

85. It REALLY helps to be Scorpio Rising.

:evilgrin:

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

96. Virgo here! Born Sept. 9, so in 1999, my b-day was 9/9/99.

[In_The_Wind]

108. ~

were you:scared: I mean ... really ... all those nines

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

112. Yes. In fact, I turned 29 that year. I swear!

Number nine...number nine...

[In_The_Wind]

141. since 9 represents completion

and we tend to celebrate for the entire month ... do you have significant memories of that month, that year

[finecraft]

3. Another Virgo checking in

Does anyone else feel that being diligent, hardworking and constantly striving for perfection tire you out at times? I have to admit that sometimes I'm just so tired that I only work 12 hours a day instead of 16 (shhhhh! Don't tell anybody!)

[In_The_Wind]

5. we do drive ourselves pretty hard sometimes

it's no wonder that we appear to be cold ~ we care too much and we just don't want to show it

[uppityperson]

17. I am, and yes, got to balance perfection with utter sloth

be a good virgo. Perfectionist, everything easy to find, lay on couch all day in fluffy pjs rather than cleaning.

[In_The_Wind]

21. OMG

:spray: :rofl: really good imaging there



since there's only one of me I vacillate between both ends of the Virgo scale

[candy]

7. I'm a Virgo who married a Virgo-----don't ask !!!!!!!!!! LOL

[In_The_Wind]

10. YOU have my sympathy

because when we're good ... we are very good:) but OMG when we're bad:hide:

[BlueIris]

19. Respectfully, you're right about that "when you're bad" part.

It's the reason I avoid Virgos like the bloody plague. I've had two Virgos absolutely ruin my life. Yes, we all make our own choices and I'm responsible for my own actions and feelings but--those assholes should be too. Not like they ever acknowledged their wrongdoing in those matters. I'm really impressed that as a Virgo, you can admit to a fault. I've never met one who could.

[In_The_Wind]

33. I've been lucky in some ways

Introspection takes time which I have plenty of. Also for a while I was friends with a another Virgo as I saw things in his behavior that I didn't like I became more aware of my own actions and that was the beginning of making conscious choices to alter some of the negative traits of a Virgo.

I will thank you for the complement as it isn't always easy to face ones own short comings much less admit them to someone else.

[Niccolo_Macchiavelli]

52. amazing

i second that. Virgo can be the meanest scorpion-bait. But the spirit of community improving, altruism, the perfection, loyalty and not least promiscuity makes them very attractive. People you would like to side with to make the world in range a better place, finding sanctuary with such counterparts. But virgos really do not discuss their faults (not the ones i met at least).

Virgos have been people i have felt attracted to like a mosquito to a candlelight. Amazing people, very thought consuming, but mostly well hidden in their soullabyrints. No easy coming out and most certainly no easy way in.

Whats a fox among hens is a scorpion among virgos :evilgrin:

muahahahahahaahhaha runs out of the "den"

[In_The_Wind]

65. my goodness ~ I'm glad to head that you love Virgos so much!

:evilgrin:

you really shouldn't run :)

[Sapphocrat]

134. "virgos really do not discuss their faults"

Trust me, it's because we're so painfully aware of them already. Combine that constantly-critical little voice in one's head with a deeply sensitive nature, and the result is often a rock-hard shell of self-protection. (Thus, the "cold and aloof" stereotype.)

I can't speak for everyone, but I swing from one extreme to the other: Either I'll self-flagellate myself publicly for my faults (to the point that my loved ones would probably like to kill me just to shut me up), or I won't talk about my failings at all -- because I just don't want to risk provoking someone else to confirm that I'm as bad as all that.

And yeah, true -- no easy way in... and maybe no way out at all. LOL

[Niccolo_Macchiavelli]

136. hmmm sounds similar to scorpio as well

... apart from the discussion part... scorpios prefer to listen rather than to unveil from themselves. Well one got claws and sting to crack or sting thought the nutshell...but it can be really hard. earth holds water, water washes earth, fertilizing each other (in various senses).

[In_The_Wind]

143. Virgos & Scorpios are so much alike that it's often difficult

to tell them apart.

if you want to see intensity that works to perfection (if it works at all) put a Virgo and a Scorpio together ... after reaching the correct understanding that we both always right we make an unshakable team ... Virgos & Scorpios are a powerful combo that's hard to beat!

[Niccolo_Macchiavelli]

146. well telling apart one can

Virgos (in my experience at least) are more reserved to the outside. While Virgo is like a castle which is locked or open. one clearly gets either ones in or out. a scorpio is more like a dune one crawls up. it's more reachable and you get the other to talk with the risk of beeing reached. A scorpio will hit deep grounds either his/her own or the others but surly after letting to other speak/crawl first. A virgo wouldn't make their inner to a "playfield" in conversation. not in my experience at least.

While the backdeep has many similarities the front is quite different though. (ime)

[In_The_Wind]

147. as close as two signs can be in personality type

I see Scorpios as being more volatile than Virgos. It has been my experience that a Scorpio's passion will flair more quickly than a Virgo. I believe that Virgos are more likely behave as solidly but more coldly and with reason in addition to passion.


I firmly believe that neither a Scorpio nor a Virgo will allow another to fully know them until there is a great deal of trust.



so yes we do project our personalities slightly different but we are very much alike inside

[Niccolo_Macchiavelli]

148. depends

With Virgos i have mixed experience with this. I'd sign Scorpios are impulsive anytime though. Theres no substitute to the surge of emotions flowing through every fiber of the body.

Motto "The extreme (emotions) is the pulse of life"

I firmly believe they never will reveal all of themselves neither virgo nor scorp (nor anyone for that matter).

[In_The_Wind]

149. in a way that's very sad

perhaps you're right ... they never will reveal all of themselves


I'll try to remember and embrace the motto about extreme emotions. ~ thank you.

[Niccolo_Macchiavelli]

150. well its a scorpio motto

embracing this rollercoaster is in for a though ride. if you can enjoy your bad feelings too go on...else i'd say ratio is the better part of virgo.

[In_The_Wind]

151. that explains it

for over 1/2 of my life my best friend was a Scorpio ... we shared so much that I became more like a Scorpio and people have often guessed that to be my sign.



it is a very tough ride so ya just gotta hang on and go for the gusto

[In_The_Wind]

142. thats true Virgos rarely talk about faults that bother them the most

I try not to sweat the small stuff and so I will talk about that sometimes but the big problems are mine alone.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

9. I am a Virgo .

:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

11. I knew that!

how ya doing :hug: ... no s______ tonight but I did start with something green again:)

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

12. LOL I am slow tonight ... no " what ? " tonight LOL

I am doing really damn good actually . The monkey is off my back and I feel fine .

[In_The_Wind]

14. glad to hear it ... we should all be doing "really damn good"

the only time it's good to have a monkey on your back - is if you're another monkey *ba da boom*:yoiks:

[eleny]

16. Wait! I have to clean the house first!

Just kiddin'. But that's how it feels sometimes.

[In_The_Wind]

23. not me

I only do that if someone is coming over but I was that way about the ice cream store that I managed ... one more thing .. one more thing ~ really only one more thing :shrug:

[trackfan]

18. Virgo checking in.

Although I hold astrology to be bunk, here is a tidbit for devotees:

My birthday is 9/5/x, and my wife's is 12/19/x+1

My nephew's birthday is 9/4/y, and his wife's is 12/18/y+1

Make what you will of that.

[In_The_Wind]

24. people do say there are no coincidences

Have you noticed any similarities between your wife and your nephew's wife? Is your nephew anything like you?

[trackfan]

32. Not really. As far as I can tell...

and this is a fairly superificial observation - my wife is similar to me, and my nephew's wife is similar to him.

[In_The_Wind]

38. we could be onto something here

I really don't want to be nitpicking (another Virgo trait) but are you similar or are you compatible?

[trackfan]

56. I would say both

We have many of the same strengths and weaknesses, as opposed to complementary ones.

[eleny]

27. I'm 9/5, too

[In_The_Wind]

41. Hi Virgo

love those eyes!

[norml]

20. I've Moon Venus and Jupiter in Virgo

Sun Mercury Mars Uranus and Pluto are in Leo

[In_The_Wind]

26. do you study astrology

you know far more about your chart than I do about mine



I love the lions

[norml]

28. Yes, I've studied Astrology.

And I Love the Virgos!

[In_The_Wind]

34. lovely

I believe that we're a rather complex sign but we are strong.

since we're both Virgos ... :loveya:

[Demonaut]

22. another here, I hate being sensitive

[In_The_Wind]

29. that's a big one

I sometimes have to ask myself " how important is this ~ really " but I've noticed that Virgos can be too sensitive. At times I know that I can be overly sensitive.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

25. I'm here!

August 27th! I agree that Virgos are totally awesome!!

[In_The_Wind]

31. well ~ hello ... It's nice to see you

a Virgo will always watch your back for you .. yep we're a great bunch us Virgos

[Der Blaue Engel]

30. Leo/Virgo cusp here

Which is, I believe, the very definition of bipolar. :D

[In_The_Wind]

35. tell me about it

8/24 here ... there are many of Leo's traits in my personality

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

36. I am August 24th too !

[In_The_Wind]

40. Wow!

*doing a little happy dance* :hug::woohoo:

[GardeningGal]

132. 8/23 here ..... n/t

[In_The_Wind]

144. GardeningGal ~ your name fits a Virgo perfectly

I love to make things grow to their full potential ... you could say Virgos like to help facilitate the process

[Der Blaue Engel]

45. 8/22

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

84. Hi there Der Blaue Engel who is a Leo on the cusp of Virgo

some of the Virgo traits must drive you crazy but I love the outgoing ways of a Leo :hi:

[Der Blaue Engel]

94. I tend to be sort of a "reserved show-off"

I'm always wishing someone would shove me into the spotlight (in a good way!). ;) And then the organization freak has to do constant battle with the lazy part of me. Hence the bipolarism. :)

[In_The_Wind]

102. *shove*

now get out there and *shine* ... go on ... get! ... don't organize it or worry about it just do it ~

[hfojvt]

37. our birthstone? and awesome?

How can you know that? Virgins have all kinds of birthstones, I am sure. We were not all born in the same month. And if we are so awesome, how come nobody wants to sleep with us?
What's that? Vir-GOs.
Oh.
Never mind.

[In_The_Wind]

39. on birthstones and awesomeness

I'm sorry. My mistake ~ the Peridot is the birthstone for August while Sapphire is the one for September.


I don't think that Virgos have cornered the market on sleeping alone.


I believe the "oh. Never mind." is another Virgo trait because I've said that one fairly often myself

[hfojvt]

46. Oh. Never mind.

is ripped off from Roseanne Rosannadanna, played by Gilda Radner.

[Lilith Velkor]

42. I heard all Virgos are sex maniacs

Or maybe it's just me...

[BlueIris]

43. You're a sex maniac? Under THAT sign? No way.

The nicest compliment I've ever received about my sexual prowess is "you're not that hung up." And my last ex (a Virgo)? Made me look like Carrie Bradshaw. Congratulations, you're an original.

[Lilith Velkor]

59. Yes way.

Not only is my sun sign Virgo, I got Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto all in Virgo. More Virgo than Virgo, that's me.

Years ago, a bunch of us in college were talking about astrology, and my buddy actually said, "I wish I was a Virgo, they're all sex fiends!" I hadn't gotten started on that yet, so there was a brief uncomfortable pause, then I started laughing.

You may not be surprised at this: the fellow was a Sagittarius. His response was, "Huh? What'd I say?"

[In_The_Wind]

51. you heard right

:thumbsup:

[u4ic]

47. I'm August 25!

:hi:

I wonder if parrots/birds are a Virgo thing?

I've found that I'm growing into my sign now...gosh, when you're 18, who wants to be diligent, hardworking, particular, responsible, etc? But I was, and tried very hard to identify with the fire in my horoscope (Mercury, Venus and Mars in Leo, Ascendant in Aries, Sun, Mercury and Venus in the 5th, Moon in the 9th), but I still felt more attuned to earth.

As I've aged, I've incorporated that fire more...and yet, the earth has become more positive, such as feeling passionate about environmental issues, issues of health, and awareness of the incredible beauty and complexity of the natural world. :-)

[In_The_Wind]

71. Hey there u4ic

I wasn't aware of any special connection between birds and Virgos but the Virgos I've known are very nurturing therefore a perfect bird caretaker.

I'm very happy to know that you're becoming attuned with the Earth ... we all need to be more aware of environmental issues as I believe that one person at a time we can make a big difference :hug:


from one Virgo to another ... being diligent, hardworking, particular and responsible are all good things but don't forget to have fun while you're going about your days.

[u4ic]

81. Oh, I don't forget the fun, Joan

I'm rather fond of it. :bounce:

I've loosened up a lot as the years have gone by.

I thought perhaps Virgos had a special affinity with parrots because they are such intelligent creatures.

[In_The_Wind]

86. That's quite a complement

because I agree with you about the intelligence of parrots. Frodo amazes me with the way she communicates what she wants - when I'm walking with her on my hand she will actually flap her wings pulling me in the direction she wants to go. She'll delightfully toss things for humans to retrieve for her. After all :shrug: we're here to serve our loved ones if they're feather-heads!

[donheld]

49. Virgo here

Greatest? i don't have a clue.

[In_The_Wind]

61. we are all awesome

in our own ways ... no matter what sign you are

:hi:

[greyl]

50. bigotry?

Pisces are awesome too, ya know. :)

(my girlfriend is a "virgo", but first and foremost she is an individual)

[In_The_Wind]

54. some of the best memories of my life were with a Pisces

His name is Philip Younger.

When we broke up so many years ago he ask me to look him up in twenty five years and now thanks to a thread on DU I have his last two addresses in south west Florida. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear from me when I do send him a card saying *Hi*. Phil is a truly an awesome dude:loveya: always babe.

[rbnyc]

53. My mom and my son...

...are both Virgos. My son has over half his natal chart in Virgo!

[In_The_Wind]

75. If the influence of the stars have anything to do with our lives ...

your son should grow up to be a wonderful and perhaps a very influential man.

I'm rather fond of Virgos although personally I don't know any of them who would win a popularity contest.

[jonnyblitz]

55. i am one.

:hi:

[sniffa]

57. me too

mwah!

62. damn look at who all are virgos..

hehe..:P NOT that i follow horoscopes or anything...:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

67. yep ~ lots of really great DUers ~

normally I wouldn't follow horoscopes either but I'm beginning to see that I gravitate toward one or two signs more than others:shrug: there's gotta be some explanation

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

77. so many cuties

:loveya:

[davidinalameda]

64. SEX THREAD!!!!!

sorry, I thought it said virgins

:spank:

[In_The_Wind]

68. OK

the mods wouldn't like it :rofl: but us virgos are pretty darned sexy if I do say so myself :evilgrin:

[MN ChimpH8R]

66. 9-16 b'day

I am not inclined to believe in astrology but I have most of the stereotypically Virgo qualities - aloof, intellectual, logical, loyal,etc. Course, my Asperger's Syndrome explains a lot of the same character traits. :P

[In_The_Wind]

78. pssst

I have a special place in my heart for all of the Aspies I've known:hug: I'm sure there are many other character traits that you possess like being compassionate and loving.

[MN ChimpH8R]

152. Thanks, Joan

that was very nice of you to say. :pals:

I am pretty aloof and remote though, I just live my life pretty much inside my own head, and that is to me the defining trait of aspie-ness.

As someone observed, the world is full of "dog people:" social critters who care about belonging to the pack, finding their place in it and fitting in and being liked by everyone. We Aspies are cats. We couldn't care less about the pack and go our own way, doing what interests us for reasons of our own. And it's cool to be a cat. But it can be awfully hard sometimes in a world run by and for dogs.

[m_welby]

69. I don't know if we're awesome

both myself and the wife are virgos (4 days apart), an amateur astrologer once said we were the same person (lol), but I know thats not true.

I don't see the whole virgin/whore thing, but maybe its just as a guy I'm more depraved.

...and BTW the birthstone is Sapphire ( I know because I've bought enough of them over the years).

[In_The_Wind]

82. Yea ~ a happily married Virgo couple.

:applause: :woohoo: :bounce: :bounce: :toast:



thanks for the correction to my glaring mistake in my OP :blush: it was pointed out to me late last night


It seems to me as if the virgin/whore thing is an exaggeration of our personalities :shrug: just sayin ~

[Misunderestimator]

70. I know a wonderful Virgo...

So, I'll have to agree with you. :toast:

[In_The_Wind]

83. that's lovely

:toast: to your very special Virgo

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

72. we do rock Joan

100. Yep, Pard. Me too. :-(

[In_The_Wind]

145. Zuni don't you like Virgos ?

we can be really nice once ya get past our protective shell

[In_The_Wind]

91. Well hell... that's damn nice!

and somehow it doesn't surprise me ~ > <~ to Virgos where ever they may be!

[BikeWriter]

101. To Virgos!

[DemBones DemBones]

92. I wish my mom could have waited a bit

longer to have me so I could have sapphires for my birthstone!

No offense to Carolina Peridot, who I immediately spotted as a Virgo because, really, does anyone like peridots unless they're Virgos? They just seem to clash with so much.

I'm getting to like them (peridots) now but it's taken decades. Other people get emeralds, opals, amethysts, garnets, even diamonds -- ooh, and turquoise, too, as their birthstone -- why couldn't we August-born have, say, lapis lazuli?

It's cool that there are peridot-colored clothes now, though.

99. peridot green is a nice lively color

One of the perks about the Peridot is that you can have more of them:woohoo: for a whole lot less than Sapphires.



BTW I didn't like my birthstone either until I was around 40.

127. Now it is but

when I was a kid I always thought of it as pea green, like pea soup, though sparklier.

They ARE cheaper than sapphires, for sure.

(Probably 'cause nobody wants them.)

I'll stop, I promise! I just wondered if anyone else felt cheated in the birthstone department.

:hi:

98. So true about the stomach thing! I have stomach problems

and am a serious worry wart (anxiety).

Definitely believe the part about being able to see through people (i.e., see through the bullshit).

104. Welcome to the Virgo thread SmileyBoy

:hi:

[LynzM]

107. Yes?

Checking in! Sept. 12th :)

[In_The_Wind]

111. Nice to see you here LynzM !

:hug:

How are things going with the new homestead that you're moving into ? Are you packing yet ?

[LynzM]

114. Hi Joan!

:hi: Things are .... going. We don't have everything even finalized with the buying yet, so definitely not moving, yet. We're hoping by the end of August. My mom called tonight trying to convince us to go stay with her instead, because of 'the area' that the house is in... long story. </rant> Let's just say, no, to that one. Keep your fingers crossed, though, please!

[In_The_Wind]

116. *crossing fingers*

*thinking positive thoughts*!:thumbsup:

[LynzM]

118. Thank you!

Not that I'm *expecting* problems, per se, but more like having a hard time believing how easily things have gone, so far... you know?

[In_The_Wind]

124. we all deserve a break every once in a while

life shouldn't be difficult so I'll hope for continued ease in transition for you ~

[Guaranteed]

109. Virgos are the naughty people disguising themselves as innocent...nt

[In_The_Wind]

113. I take it you're saying that because you're one of us ~ right ?

:woohoo:

[Guaranteed]

117. No, but I am your Mercurian brother, Gemini...

I understand.

Your analysis is mine.

[In_The_Wind]

122. *warning**warning* WE'VE BEEN INVADED BY A GEMINI !

And I'm glad you dropped by.

[Tom Kitten]

110. the cats are herding...here I am!

I really don't take astrology seriously but there is no doubt I am a Virgo...I can't recall the traits I'm supposed to have but I definitely have them!

[In_The_Wind]

115. psst ... being so sure about anything is a Virgo trait.

It's not like we know it all ... we just like to think do and we're usually right.:)

[Tom Kitten]

121. you're right

I knew that but didn't want to come across as being boastful...:)

[In_The_Wind]

123. another trait ~ being too modest about our accomplishments

what the heck :shrug: although a pat on the back may feel good the real reward to us is the satisfaction of knowing that we've always given it our best shot

[silverpatronus]

125. here i am!

now if you'll excuse me, i have to go repress something.

[In_The_Wind]

129. ~ let it all out Virgo

it feels so much better after you clear the air :hug: !

[coyote]

153. Virgos are evil

Virgos and I (Aquarius)do not mix at all (at least at an intimate level) but they are great in bed. :bounce:
