Why LG I am honored that you are defending my post I think that is very noble and sweet of you. Medc I said that I misworded my statement and that what I am doing is for my own curiosty not to prove that because of someone's b-day that they are more likely to have an affair. Again I will say dude you seriouly need to chill out.

Also I would like for you to point out what in my post is worded as an attempt to show that when a person is born influences (along with other factors) their predisposition to have an affair. So I can change it just for you ****** I will even use your words if that will get you to chill out. I is as LG put it just for fun.

LG when is your B-day my H is 9/22

Medec it is also worded in way that say I believe not that you should. Is that what you would like me to reword? If so how?

This is what DIG believes, right? (she said "I believe..."). Is this being FORCED upon anyone here. I'm unsure what all the hubbub is. Not everyone here is Christian either, but I surely don't take offense. Meh, whatev's.

Anyhoo, LG, nice to see ya. I love your sig line. It's great to READ the appreciation you have for your family.

No need to change it for me... if it is just for fun the two posts I quoted do not make that point. Back to your fun everyone.

MEDC:

I love this:

LG... when I need you to tell me what to do, I will make a point to ask for your input and direction.


I ask you to "Chill Out"

I didn't ask you to do anything else.

MEDC:

This is for fun! OK?

I don't believe a word of astrology...

No matter what Nancy Reagan believed.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

DIG was just asking for info. I do not think she was going to publish a masters thesis on infidelity and the astrological signs of those that cheated.

If you want to spell check her, or ask for clarification, go ahead.

But anger on this thread is really pointless, MEDC. On other threads, understandable. But not this one.

OK?

Once again, LG... in case you missed it already... if it was worded as just for fun I would have let it go. I have... now back to your fun, okay.

Looking for your annswers in an astrology chart is about as reliable as reading a bowl of coco puffs.

That is a sentiment most intelligent people woule wholeheartedly endorse.

The above I quoted from you however my dear Medec could be seen as a DJ.

Um - that ain't a DJ and it's not like MEDC is trying to make you fall in love with him anyway.

Quote
From the way I have seen you post to people I can tell you are hurting and I know that hurt people hurt people.

Now THAT would be a DJ. (so would my first comment actually)

Yes, you'd think so. All of us, however, knew our star signs.

BigK, I've noticed in my long working career, working usually with people a lot younger than me, that young women, particularly in the 20- 35 age group, take astrology seriously - far too seriously. They consult readers and clairvoyants and mediums. They buy books on it, they discuss who is the "best" clairvoyant with their friends. And usually they're intelligent, clever, professional young women.

I don't know what it's taking the place of. Good advice from real people I suppose. Not having to make hard decisions? Religion? I don't know.

As I said, I don't put any credence in it all but paradoxically always tell people I'm a "true" Gemini. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

So Big K are you trying to imply that because I find astrology interesting that I am unintelligent. That my dear is a DJ as well.

He may not be trying to get me to fall in love with him but what starts at home spreads abroad. If he is doing it here is he doing it at home. The same goes for you.

How would the above quoted be a DJ he is a BS right and because of that he makes alot of harsh statments in his post. I am wrong in my observation?

Thank you Kiwi,SE & LG for standing up for me you guys are the best and truly sweet. I really appreciate it.

Kiwi I really like this comment

My harsh staements were in response to your WORDS.... not what you intended to say... but what you actually said. Frankly, until it was made clear that this was all in fun and not a serious exercise as your words indicated, it deserved a harsh response.

And DIG, as I pointed out on your other thread...since you are involved in an active EA(if you are still having ANY contact with the OM... which would mean working in the same place, you are active), perhaps your time would be better spent trying to work on that than to criticise others for what may be happening abroad. And since you seem to think that you are so perceptive... let me turn my perception back on you... you seem to be someone that denies the obvious in her own situation and has a hard time turning her perception inward. My life and situation are quite good, thank you. I am not involved in an A.... so perhaps it is your pain driving this and not mine. So, why don't we get to the real stuff here and quit with this charade.... you came here two months ago seeking help... and yet, even when your words point to an obvious problem, you seem to want to focus elsewhere.

When you are ready to start working on ending your A, I will be happy to offer my help.

MEDC

Medec does your latest post refer to all of the other folks who you have been harsh with as well?

Also I am not denying any problems. I came here looking for help so I would not get involved in an A not because I was in one.

ALso when did I criticize you?

but what you actually said. Frankly, until it was made clear that this was all in fun and not a serious exercise as your words indicated, it deserved a harsh response.


Since when did you become judge, jury and executioner? Does He who lives in a glass house ring any bells for you?

If you were so perfect then you yourself would not be here. So I will say again you really need to chill out.

I have no problem admitting my faults I know I do plenty of things wrong but because I am willing to explore them I can work on fixing them. What about you what do you do wrong Medec?

Also I don't know if anyone told you but you will have a hard time trying to win an argurment with me it's what I live for and I haven't had a good one in a while.

DIG, always having to win an argument is pretty immature. Why do you feel you have to "win" against MEDC? If you live for arguments then you need ask yourself why. Is it the drama? Do you feel alive when you're arguing? Do you feel that people don't listen to you?

All he's done is offer his opinion. He's entitled to it, just as all of us are.

No I don't feel the need to win all the time but when I feel like I am being wronged I some way I don't back down from anyone. When I said I live for them it's what I meant.

Yes he is entitled to his opinion but he tried to make mine seem like it was wrong and I am just as entitled to mine. Wouldn't you agree?

Yes Dig - everyone is entitled to their own opinion no matter how stupid it is.

Why??? Why would you say this? What purpose does it serve? Obviously, it makes you feel better - but to what purpose? Does it enhance this discussion? Does it move everyone forward?

DIG, I understand that. I understand when you feel misjudged or misunderstood you want to stand up for yourself. Standing up for yourself doesn't mean having to win. It means stating your position calmly and cleary and factually and then accepting that not everyone is going to agree with you.
