retribution came calling on me (Page 2)

Hi, Phoenix and all my sensitive Scorpio friends!!

I can only tell you about the Scorpios I know, and the one I know the best is my pops. He was born on Halloween and he is a Scorpio through and through!!

If he gets to the point of being really angry, the best thing to do is leave the immediate area! Also, it hurts him to have to go there. My mom would have a habit of personally attacking him when she couln't get her way, and all hell would break loose. You have to show respect and you'll get it back in spades. He doesn't like to quarrel he hates fighting.

I love my pops more than life itself; he is a wonderful person. He has more common and sense and wisdom then anyone I have ever known and he is also my best friend. We have gone at it in the past but we always work through it.

I forgot to mention, Libras like to interrupt! Didn't mean to hone in on someone else's conversation...continue on, sorry! One more thin...I-Sun, how you been doin?? Hope that little Saggie friend of yours, figured out whats good for her!! 🙂
Susan

Don't worry Susan, our conversation wasn't that exclusive! : )

Halloween huh? Wow, I'm sure he is the ultimate Scorp! So it sounds to me like regardless of gender scorps are pretty similar...my dad is a Gemini and my mom is an Aquarius, and I'm an only child so growing up has been an "interesting" experience for me, that whole combo of air/water can be weird from time to time. I find that keeping my personal space is necessary for me, and very important, because though the Gemini & Aquarius in my life are entertaining and interesting, when we disagree on something it's watch out! lol.

I do seem to have a bit more of an understanding with Gemini though, don't know why just seems to be less turbulent of a relationship.

Hey,

Good mornin to all my Scorpie friends. It's sunny and about 75 degrees already. Nice weather for down here in Beulah land, where we grow the best tomatoes! Everything for that matter.

Phoenix, air(gemini) and(scorpio) water together make a hurricane, alot of energy for both directions.

There is a good site that talks about these different astrology combinations from that perspective. I'll try to hook you up if your interested in that stuff.

They(astologers) say that water with land make the most condusive relationships. Although anything is possible if you want it bad enough.

GO WAR EMBLEM!!! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE HORSE!!!!

Susan

Hi Susan,

Okay I'm a dork, what's "Beulah" land? lol! I'm glad to hear the weather is nice though where you are...I'm in Oregon, where they say if you don't like the weather here, with five minutes! he he. It *was* hot & sunny last week, but this week it's acting like winter without the rain and snow! Sup with that?

Very interesting about the hurricane theory, I agree with that. Please do hook me up with that website! I LOVE reading up on those things! Knowledge is power, woo hoo!

Well, today all the women in my family including me are gonna go see "The Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood" movie--it looks very cute, hopefully it'll be a good one!

TTFN,
phoenix

Sorry, that should have said, "if you don't like the weather, WAIT five minutes"!

Phoenix,

I heard that, on the weather!! I lived in Ashland, Oregon for 20 years. I worked and was a tech for Lithia Park. I headed out West in 1977, to visit some friends who were going to SOSC, and I loved it so much I never went back East. I was born and raised in Connectiuct, about 60 minutes north of New York City. You have probably heard of Norwalk because of the Skakel trial. I lived near there in a town called New Canaan. It's the bedroom community of New York City, now. Anyways, my pops is from down south, way way down there (South Carolina). And, Beulah land is a book about the south and alot more of what really goes on...down yonder!!! It's hot, humid, and things grow big. We have firer flyes, June bugs and people who talk real slow because of the heat, I reckon. Everyone is real laid back, and for fun we sit on the front porch and drink mint julips or whiskey sours and play or listen to music and shoot the breeze. It's a very religous area of the country and it use to be you couldn't even by toliet paper on Sunday...Sunday was for prayer, family, and food...things are changin and I don't think it's for the better. My pops plays music down at the local barber shop with all his redneck buddies. A small, everybody knows everyone and their business, little town. It's was a real culture shock coming here from Oregon, but the south has been really good to me and for me, and I love the heritage and history of this place. I also loved Oregon and will someday go back, but for now my heart is where my family is. Oregon will still be there, but my family won't! You know it...

phoenix,

sometimes i hold grudges depending of the disrespectfull deed done to me. petty stuff don't count. and given a chance i strike usually just to justify that "what comes around goes around"... its a trait i don't like... but when i know what i did was wrong, i apologize with deepest sincerity (kinda like what happend in this post) other than that i am fun loving, and easy going. when i love i love. if you want the truth "bluntly" i will tell you. kinda shy... but my profession helps me overcome that shyness (sales). im ranting now...

but yes, male scorps also do become venomous... (you have to be paranoid if you know you did something wrong. they will strike back just to turn the tables. they don't easily forget...) my 2 male friends are also scorps thats why i know.

64.12.104.41(susan)

thanks for mentioning me. im doing fine actually been busy at work. still single (don't know why... its like i'm not interested because of work)... my saggie friend, she is on vacation... thousands of miles away from me. haven't heard from her because she is having too much fun. and no she still does not know what is good for her and all i could do is be a friend.

thanks again susan for asking.

susan,

what site were you mentioning in this posts... out of curiosity i just want to view it.

thanks

i-sun,

Thanx so much for your insight there on guy scorps--very interesting. I've known so few in my life, and not that well either, so I always wondered. it seems like there's a serious shortage of male scorpios! Or maybe I just rarely meet them because I'm very shy when I'm out and about, and they are too(?). I did meet this one scorp who was younger than me (only by a year, but still) who wanted us to go out, as in have a relationship, but I wasn't into it for some reason. He was a little much for me or something. Anyway, when I suggested that we keep things platonic, I never heard form him again. LOL, alright, whatever. : ) So your post cleared some things up for me; maybe he was pissed off...

I had a male scorp friend for about 2 years, very deep friendship in which we told each other LOTS of stuff. However, he seemed to enjoy teasing me and being kind of mean to me pretty much all the time. He quite enjoyed trying to make me jealous with his other girlfriend(s). Not that I was his girlfriend, but we kind of had an unspoken attraction thing there. So I got pissed off at him on a regular basis because he could be kind of a jerk, always trash-talking my boyfriends yet flaunting his relationships in my face. He called me a year or 2 ago to tell me that he was really sorry for all the things he said and did to me, and I knew he was sincere so I accepted his apology. But then he wanted me to go out and party with him and I said no thanks, because there was just too much weirdness there because of the past.

Okay, could I possibly ramble on any more??!! Sorry about that, apparently I needed to get that off my chest or something. I-Sun, what do you think about his behavior? What do you think all of that means? Okay, now I'll leave you alone! : )

SUSAN,

That is so damn awesome that you lived in Ashland!! Do you know that I go there all the time just to shop? They have the best stuff ever! I go to Lithia Park all the time, I love the laid-back people and the duck pond and stuff. The only thing is I get propositioned to buy weed a lot there...lol, but you know, it's a VERY laid-back town. Probably because of the college influence. I am probably going to attend SOU (formerly SOSC) in the next couple years, after I get my pre-requisites completed at Rogue Community College. But enough about me, I think that whole southern thing rocks, I am fascinated by the history down there, and the manner in which the people talk, it's lovely. Sure, it could probably use some improvement in ideology & stuff, but so could Oregon..ha ha. I remember being in High School (North Medford) and one day someone painted an enormous swastika on the pavement of Senior Square. It was horrible. Half the students came from really conservative families and thought it was COOL, and the rest of us were just disgusted and enraged that that happened. Of course, all kinds of htings went down at my high school that weren't good, but jeez.

Anyway, I am glad that you enjoy where you're at, there's nothing worse than feleing like where you are is not where you're supposed to be. I would love to live in the south (I think)!

Later,
Heather

PS, I'm REALLY sorry my post is so freaking long...: )

when scorps make mistakes (i think because i do it too) they try to rekindle what was... in other words they don't want things to change if they finally found out that it is not what they intentionally wanted to be...
Heather, he was plainly playing the mind game of tug o war to find out if you really were interested in him. he wanted to make you feel jealous, and he was a jerk because he needed attention from you... you kept your distance from him thats why he could just annoy you just to grab attention (scorps seem to want the unreachable, its just the trials to overcome hardships is our drive and determination)... also, you said that he appologized with sincerity, right? well like i said he didn't want the result of you moving away from his life... he was probably thinking that he lost a good person in his life someone that he could adore and love.

Heather in my opinion, i think that you did do the right thing of saying NO to his invitation especially a party (may get you off guard there) because mainly, he still has some feelings for you... your doing him a favor of letting his feelings give up and fade. its the only way he could moveone to find someone even more compatible for him (depending on his maturity).

Unless you have feelings for him too.

i hope this helped alot Heather

i-sun,

You are so cool, that really did make me feel a lot more at peace with how things ended--your post helped a WHOLE lot! I always wondered if I was wrong to turn him down on the partying thing--but I definitely got the vibe that he probably intended to capitalize *somehow* on the fact that I forgave him for the stuff that went down in the past. Not that that makes him a bad person, but you know, girls are (sometimes) wiser than guys give them credit for--we can pick up on the fact that ulterior motives are what's behind some of the things they do. But I always had this torn feeling, like maybe I should have just gone with him because he "sincerely apologized". But you are helping me see that regardless of that fact, we still wouldn't have been good for each other in a relationship. He was pretty manipulative, now that I look back on a lot of things--which I think I was too young or naive or something to realize then.

You rock, you rock, you rock!! : )

Heather

Oh, and I forgot to tell you--you are extrememly insightful and articulate!

Just thought I would give credit where credit is due! : )

Heather

My goodness! As a Virgo girl, I can't remember a Scorpio stinging me, but if it did, it left a PERMANENT mark! I won't fight, argue or keep secrets - I'll just be honest and "bolt" to avoid the poisonous sting!

I don't think you have been stung--you would know it if you had! : ) The reason you haven't been is *because* you are honest and open. We would much rather someone tell it like it is even if it's unpleasant, than sugarcoat things and lie to us or be more myserious than us. That's our department, ya know what I'm saying?*lol*

phoenix

You are absolutely right, the truth may hurt like hell, but we can take it alot better than betrayal and manipulation, that has got to be the cloaked dagger for a scorpio. If you ever saw the movie Braveheart when he (Mel Gibson) ripped the mask off his enemy only to find that it was his best friend. The look on his face was indescribable, the pain and disbelief all at the same time. I felt myself in that moment. Nothing hurts worse for us than betrayal. I guess because we "higher" scorpios really do try to be truthful and honest not only in matters of love but in most of the aspects of our lives.

Just had to share that. This has been a very interesting exchange. I'm curious to hear more about the Scorpio male attributes, of all kinds, not just the retribution business. CURIOUS. Thanks.

Let he or she who has never done anything wrong cast the first stone! I was just browsing around and saw this. It is interesting to note the negativity and nastiness that the responders react with, who purport to be better than the writer. If you were really above that, you would not have bothered to write a response or been so mean and judgemental yourselves. That really speaks more to what kind of people you are, than what a total stranger posts on a message board. You obviously have your own issues to work out!
