Ok. That's it. People are dropping left and right.

The Lounge is lookin' bad; and when the LOUNGE is bad then we have a problem!! :yoiks:

So..shall we get some cohesiveness to that sageing DU idea?

Sheesh! I didn't want to be reduced to ONE part of the website to post in!! AK! :cry:

I am open to ideas....and burning peace incense whilst waiting.

OMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........................

1. I was really saddened to see that aA is leaving

:cry:

[SeattleGirl]

2. So was I, Kitchey.

I know that it is inevitable that a group as large as DU will attract the nasty folks, the disruptors, the negative neds and nellies, but it saddens me that the good ones like aA feel the only way they can handle it is to leave.

3. I'm with you on the smudging

There's still a lot of nastiness out there. I heard there's a Mercury storm that's in effect till the 17th--did anyone else hear about that? I don't know any details, but if it's so, then that could be continuing the Merc Ret effect longer than usual.

I did have success with a positive thread in the Lounge--did you catch it?

Only a couple of weenies in that one, and they were soundly ignored, which pleased me no end.

Anyway...bathing DU in lovely purple light...

Ommmmmmmmmmmm...

4. Smudge away at will

Yet if we want to do a group effort, the Solar Eclipse is at 10:43 pm EDT on Sunday. Then the Moon will square Pluto at 11:59 pm. Then the Sun will square Pluto on Monday at 6:13 pm.

Any or all of these times would be especially powerful times for a :grouphug: 'n smudge.

5. Hug 'n Smudge!! That's awesome!!!

I think you just invented a catchphrase!
I'm game; if it's not too late for some of our lovelies who have 9 to 5s.

[stellanoir]

6. yeah it felt that way totally

LOL

7. I'm with all of you

GD is a scary place--I just got flamed for an absolutely innocuous statement.

Has the world just gone nuts? I'm sure the astrologers here can point to some strange planetary alignment to explain it, but as I am not an astrologer I'm baffled. Everyone seems to want to correct everything. There are so many opinions running amuck over there and people are in attack mode if you don't agree with every little nuance of their political opinions.

It has had a strange effect on me--now I'm itching for a fight. I just started posting things that I know are "flamers" and let the fur fly. It's actually kind of fun. I'm tired of being timid, I'm going to say exactly what I think.

[Why Syzygy]

8. Go for it!!

Fur fly .. :rofl:

For all the gripes, I think DU allows us to let it fly. So good.

9. I got a big bundle

of sage last week. I used to buy it in bulk, but now have to buy the bundled. Pain.

I think Stella's idea of the solar eclipse is good. Let's go.

I'm reading something else tonight about letting be. It all applies.
