Phaenerys, Mother of Scorpios....

*McK D's opened its first restaurant in Canada in 1967. To celebrate all McDonald restaurants are selling hamburgers for $ 0.67 for the day*

Him: *sends Scorp pic of twitter notification about the promotion*

Scorp: Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you about that. I heard about that on the news yesterday. 3 limit buddy!

Him: And you didn't tell me....if you go through the drive thru you can get 2 orders.

Scorp: Oh lawd....6 burgers? Really?

Him: 6? I'll just go through twice. Duh.

Scorp: Smh....

Him: Not speaking to you btw for not telling me about the burger.

Scorp: I figured you knew. You have a house full of kids that tweet everything! How did you even get the tweet (he doesn't have a twitter account)?

Him: _________ and ________ sent me messages.

Scorp: Exactly. I accept your apology.....After you bend the knee.

Him: *Jon Snow voice* Ah won't bend de knee.

i had a dream i was watching a real lyfe "fifty shades of grey" sort of scenario from the sidelines. anastacia had a hoodie saying "virgo" lol. her boyfriend (not grey) had a cancer hoodie. and grey didn't show up, but i assumed he'd have some gay scorp hoodie. so virgo and cancer were going at it and then a mexican man came out of the fridge and proposed a threesome. there was a very nice mmf montage scene then i woke up.

um ๐Ÿ˜• does this happen in the books? ๐Ÿ˜„

LOL! Ummmm, no not that I recall.

He did say some pretty harsh and cutting things when I last saw him....

From my experience Crabs tend to do that. They excuse it with "feeling hurt" and trying to protect themselves.

If nothing else his pride/shame I would think would keep him away....

From my experience Crabs don't tend to do this. Because they feel their emotional reactions are justified they don't believe there is anything they should be ashamed of, so they tend to come back around wondering why you're still so angry/hurt.

Yeah idk. He was very leo heavy too. Last time I saw him I had reached out cause I was worried about him randomly. He told me 'I was surprised to hear from you, since, well you know... I was... kind of a dick to you.'

Okay. I'm curious, how did you read that experience/statement?

~Talking with friend who I ran into this morning~

Elly: Cool cool. Yeah I might be able to come. Do you mind if I bring a friend?

Pisces Dude: Like a chick friend or like a girlfriend or like a boyfriend?

Elly: guy friend. Why?

Pisces Dude: Oh... Like, dating?

Elly: What do you mean?

Pisces Dude: ... *looks nervous*

Elly: I don't see how it's relevant.

Pisces Dude: Well see actually, Crab might show up so...

Elly: So what?

Pisces Dude: Nevermind

Elly: Well now that things feel nice and weird I'll probably sit this one out. Y'all have fun though. ? *fuming on the inside*

That interaction is enough to make me drop every single one of our mutual friends. Fuck off. Know I'm overreacting and I'll calm down in a day but still. Fuck off.

Why did you change your mind about going?

His statement?

I mean he was kind of a dick to me. When He said that I replied 'yeah you were.' He got panicky and tried to backpeddle till I told him that he was cold and specifically what in reference to, and that was what I found harsh. Then I told him that ultimately I didn't pass judgement because it wasn't anything I hadn't done to someone else before so I got it and that once the hurt passed I understood why. He got quiet and stared at me weird till I changed the subject.

I think it was his way of apologizing. And he probably didn't expect me to agree so it threw him off. My feelings changed over time though. I didn't feel the need to treat him with kid gloves in order to protect him like I did when I felt I needed his acceptance.

Hmph. I would agree, it was his (if we can call it that) way of apologizing. I asked only to explore another way of seeing Crabs.

Because to me, them asking what type of plus one I'm bringing and then mentioning the crab makes the two related. To me, I don't really care why it matters to them. But I know for a fact based on past breakups within that friend group if the crab wanted to bring a plus one they wouldn't ask who or why of him.

I strongly dislike not being granted that same freedom. If you don't question him, then neither should I. And if I am it shows that there's a hierarchy to friendships. And I just don't have the energy to navigate those minefields.

Okay.

Forgive my limited responses. Yet, again my mood has shifted.... to a much more...hmmmm, somber mood I suppose. Thanks for answering.

Working alongside a fellow Stinger is such a pleasurable experience.

We brood together, we concentrate together, we respect one another yet at the same time challenge one another, we both instinctually know what the other needs, and we communicate with knowing looks, sometimes that is all that is needed, no words required. ๐Ÿ˜„

I get tired of being accused of hiding something whenever I'm trying hard to not burden someone new with all the neurosis and complications of my life currently.

Tell them and it's too much too soon.

Don't tell them and they weird out when you give a vague 'personal problems' answer.

Feels like a lose-lose. ๐Ÿ˜...

I can relate to this. I've learned that this issue comes up partly because (dare I say) our feelings can truly fill a room/space and as much as you try to hide it, people know something isn't right with you. To say nothing, even if the goal is to spare someone of our problems just comes off as....untrue.

Been a while.. serious scorpio venting needing to let out

For the most part August has been a great month, and great things to look forward to after the infamous eclipse. One snags consisted of serious irritation with my leo grandma in the past couple weeks and now with my dentist (who may be a fire sign as well - or maybe cap). As I write this I realize I thought I had this down, but I need to continue to control my reactions to people.

So, I had my dentist appointment this morning. Honestly I was already anxious about it, because over the past few visits I've noticed that my dentist has a short fuse, and seems like she doesn't like to be bothered.

I was anxious because I wanted to ask her about adjusting one of my teeth today, but I knew it would be like walking on eggshells, and I did not know what response she would give.

As I mentioned it, she told me she had also noticed and was going to do the adjustment. I was relieved. She did it, I took a look at it with a mirror and was unhappy to find that she kind of made it worse. I made a small remark as to if she could just make an adjustment to the other side to even out the teeth and she said "they look perfect" but I didn't feel the same. She storms away to her next patient and I ask the assistant if he can have her come over to me when she is done to fix them. Anxiety again. He says sure and she comes over with an annoyed attitude.

She makes the adjustment but I am still not happy. I swear I am not being difficult, I have just paid so much money for this and I expect things to be done right..plus they are my teeth! She clearly get frustrated..I say ok to keep them as is for now.. she literally takes her gloves off and storms off. I am left like WTF.

At this point I am also very annoyed and just shocked by the whole thing. Plus the fact that I've invested to much into this, I felt her treatment was uncalled for.

Im making my next appointment at the front desk, and I guess you could tell by my face that I was pissed at this point. The other sweet Cancer male desk assistant/friend saw my face and asked if I was ok, I said yes because I didn't want to cause any drama. (Probably where I should have spoke up despite anything looking back). Cancer male continues to stare at me as I ignore him as to not make an issue but at this point I could feel angry tears boiling up. I make a quick jolt out the door the moment my next appointment date is set because I knew I was about to cry. I don't know if its more my Scorp sun, or Taurus moon, but I hate to cry in public like that.

Cancer male catches me at the elevator and tears start streaming down. I tell him how annoyed I was at the dentist, that it is not right how how things have been going my last visits, that I have paid a lot of money etc etc. He sweetly listens and follows me all the way down to the lobby telling me he is sorry and that he will speak to her. He gives me a hug to console me.

I left there feeling angry and embarrassed. I don't know if the Cancer will actually speak to the dentist and I just don't look forward to going back there. I also am still not happy with my teeth but telling myself it could be worse lol.

Also, I realized I either really like or dislike Cancer men. This one I obviously like and I was so appreciate for his gesture ๐Ÿ™‚ I felt like he understood.

Just ended a friendship that was 22 years strong...His loyalty wasnt strong enough for me. Love my public journal lol



stopped being a ppl pleaser, fawk that feels soooooo good...love this room
A few Scorpio readings from August mention Scorpios clearing out old relationships and connections that no longer serve them. I ended a few myself this past month as well. Normally I feel distraught when I do but I actually felt pretty great.

Hmph. I swear I sat in my car today before heading to work and thought, "it's time to let go of people that aren't worth my energy anymore", then I blasted my music and hit the highway. It was the first time in months I didn't feel bad about moving on.

^^^There's more I can say, but my brain....I probably shouldn't have even replied until I could formulate my thoughts in a clear and complete way lol.
You're good. I totally understand lol. I used to say nothing. Because in my mind there was no possible way to give an abridged and concise version. I did that with the crab a lot and he always thought I was hiding something sinister. When it was really just a shit ton of personal pain lol.

Now I just say it's personal stuff and leave it at that tho

I have found Crabs seem---well the Crabs I come across seem to assume the worst. Even on here before we had the edit feature. I hate typos so I would hide my post even for the tiniest issue (e.g. missing a "s" on "looks") and be accused on "hiding because I'm a coward"....like bruh, simmer down lol. It isn't that serious. Since I'm just an "shady Scorp" anyway, why do you care? Meh.

Ever get accused of looking "dark"? I get that a lot. Apparently it's the eyes. They get "darker and colder" and I supposedly look intimidating when I'm sad or upset. The only way I can describe it is I am sort of withdrawing within myself if that makes any sense. Like the world literally fades to a haze, but I am present and aware on some level (some surface mental energy and physically) just not emotionally or on a deep mental level.

Lol, it's sort of a double edge sword for me. My mind jumps around so much, or sometimes I'm just in a bad mood and I know it will influence my reply so I will delay replying. I will make a note of replying to someone/something when I can formulate my thoughts. Problem is, I literally can go days or weeks before replying and reply to other things before I get to it, so the person thinks I am ignoring the issue/statement they made. Sometimes I am ignoring it ๐Ÿ˜„, so it isn't easy to tell what I'm doing from the outside looking in.

Does anyone here have any experience working alongside Water Bearers ?

Please kindly share your experiences, I would appreciate it. ๐Ÿ™‚
They're normally the first people I vibe with at a new job. Some are super quiet and introverted. Those that aren't are the opposite and talk soooo much and are hyper extroverted.

Most are hard workers, but in their own time. They can't be rushed or forced to do something they don't want to do. And they get away with it a lot because they're so good at what they do that management often overlooks their quirks.

Selective with helping. They like to help people who they like. People they don't like they'll ignore and not think twice of. And they really like bold and blunt types.
click to expand

The one who I am currently working alongside, is extremely quiet and introverted or so it seems but will constantly try to make me or my fellow Stinger laugh. This one constantly seems to want to get a smile out of everyone, but rarely talks. When he does, it never quite stops and it happens randomly about the strangest topics, out of the blue, when you least expect it.

Although he has an issue of being a klutz and is constantly forgetful, I am not quite sure if he is distracted or simply not paying enough attention. He is good at what he does, but he butts head with that fellow Stinger of mine often enough. Two stubborn men having a go at it, until I give them both a better solution.

Extremely polite as well, always a gentleman, tripping over himself to say please, thank you, or if it is of no bother to you etc with a smile on his face. He almost over politeness is making it very uncomfortable and awkward for me. He will trip over himself in saying such things even when it is within my role and tasks to accomplish certain things, which is not on him. We have different work to do. I have made it known to him that this is within my professional role to do so. Other times I do it mainly because I am merely a friendly / courteous individual within my professional realm. If I were to make myself an espresso, I would always ask him or the fellow Stinger if they would like one as well. Common niceties.

However, he has a tendency to not only do things on his own time but be tardy as well.

I want to and need to create a friendly / open work relationship with this Water Bearer - Would you have any other additional advice for me dear Elly?

Ok, so there's this Staffordshire-Pit terrier mix at the local shelter I volunteer at that I fell in love with (gotdammit) and want to adopt, however I have to get the boards approval, and I've already heard stories about them giving others a hard time over breed and size. So before I start flipping tables over, do I bribe them with brownies? I'm even willing to go the extra mile and throw in a magic ingredient. ๐Ÿ˜„

@Ellygant teach me your Cancer Moon ways.
LOL @ extra ingredient. ๐Ÿ˜†

Brownies are good. But for uppity types like that I'm more prone to mini cheesecakes. Nestle has a few good recipes that are tasty and fairly easy.

Sangria for the lush types.

Ask the front desk/doorman/building manager what their specific vices and weaknesses are and gift accordingly? Another reason why I always befriend the service people everywhere I go. They know these things lmao.
I love it when you talk dirty.

How do I pull myself out of this numb phase?

I feel so emotionally disconnected from everyone. I'm borderline depressed, and all I wanna do is just be by myself and cry.

No one will leave me in peace, not even for 10 minutes. No one senses anything about what I'm feeling.

I'm just so fucking tired.

Maybe don't force the process? Rather than "pull" yourself out, give yourself permission to be sad and ride it out. It's a gentler process.

I am guessing you feel you need to rush the process because you feel you need to take care of the people around you, namely you Scorp?

He has no idea (to my knowledge) what I'm feeling. And it's not just him I worry about and fuss over. My son (he is 6 months old) demands all of my attention. Granted, my scorpio does take him off my hands a bit, but I'm a mother, so I'm never far.

Well maybe you can share it with your Scorp. It may help. At the very least he could help you out by allowing you to have a bit of time to yourself (in theory) although I can't imagine how given how young your little one is.

I'm sorry you're feeling that way.

Meh.

It jus takes me an inordinately long amount of time to get over people. Cancer moon problems.

It's not just a Crab Moon thing. 3 years here.

Having a "detached" or "superficial" moon for me really means "slow to love". We stay on the surface not because we can't go deeper, it's just easier to manage. If we don't....well, 3 years.

Although we discuss our placements in isolation, they simply can't work that way. I'm sure my moon plays with my Scorp bits in such a way that it makes me even less willing to get too carried away out of fear someone will hurt me, have me pining over them over a tube of ice cream, a bag of oreo cookies and a whole cheesecake more so than another air moon.

Geese, its a wonder I'm not a huge as a house following a break up lol.

Idk which is worse.

Waking up in the morning with an emotional hangover?

Or a dairy hangover because I tried to eat my feels..?

OMG. This.

I don't do well with ice cream, depending on the cream content, which is why I make my own. That's a 2 day process though and I needed something yesterday.

I was thinking this morning how do people do this with alcohol? I feel like sh*t.....pun intended.
