Damn... Can I borrow a cup of sugar? -Sugar.... I seem to be all out of sensitivity...
If you're completely bone dry Taibhse perhaps the crows nest?
Hmm. Pirates. Better and better.
Thankee bliss. π
A commune..a deserted island. Tattoo standing nearby.. ( some of these are for my own amusement..)

LOLOL Wouldn't be me without it. *tossing Rat keys over* Live it up man.
Uhhuh. Server timed out eh? Non.
Oh I know. I was giving the hamster/wheel server setup here the hairy eyeball. I hide repeats. Visual stutter.
Well shit. That was my favorite croaker too. π’
Sounds good to me. π
So, I get what we don't do in the "No B.S. Zone", but what is it that we do.... do? π
Chill round a virtual bonfire. Good vibe, tremendous company. Laughter. Warmth. Retreat.

Well, we managed to get to the 2nd page without mentioning food or drink. I guess that's something.I like adding cream and coffee liqueur. π
LOL, and YUM....
Hobnobs! Dark or milk, don't care. Get in my mouth. π
I think we take care of our own and for the most part don't sweat the small shit.
But hey, if you feel the need to spill...*patting cushion*.
*I* for one was relieved TaurGuy called me 'captain' and not rear admiral. π
Pirates sounds fun to me. π

Yeah. This is it.

So, do we Taureans not have many problems or do we just not like to talk about them? Maybe I should start spilling my guts.
ha ha... We don't like to talk about them.... Hell, we barely tell the ones we care about. lol
I discuss weighty problems with those who have my implicit trust. People that actually care about me.
I do tend to shoulder ones that are solely my own. Those that cannot be altered or solved. Those that are my demons to either embrace and tame or reject. The deeply personal and dark. That's all on me. Very few step over that threshold.
I have poor boundaries and tend to look at life in general, and all the issues I have, as a sort of ridiculous joke. So I often open up to complete strangers, let my inner demons loose, and they start flying around the room and annoying everyone.
Being an open book is a pain in the sphincter at times, eh?
I think most of us are when let in. Many don't look past the external armor, pity.
That's where all those inaccurate monikers come in like 'dull', 'boring', etc. Nah! You don't need to zipline down a mountain ravine with a pennant between your ass cheeks to be 'exciting'. π

LOL!
Its been a relief to open up on this board, and find that other people have had similar experiences.
Its also just really interesting to see everyone grouped together by sun sign, how we communicate, which signs stick together the most, etc. I've often wondered what it would be like to arrange people by sign in other social contexts - like if it would be helpful to use different teaching approaches in school, if we'd like form a gang in real life, etc...lol.
D'ya know what phrase I loathe the most discussing problems? 'Well. Good luck.'...what in the Almighty F*** is that?!
I think in part it's because I brought a real issue to the table and if it was the reverse I do my level best to break it down and arrive at a solution.
So that laissez-faire response to something I bring with merit pisses me off.
I would love to have that one special person that I could tell everything to..
To me, friends, even the really good ones, don't make the cut.. If go to anyone for something, I go to different friends for different things. Out of even my really good friends not a single one knows everything about me.. If you got them all in a room together for a chat I bet they could get about 80% put together..
Even my longest relationship (3 almost 4 years(Pisces)She said at the end that I never would talk about myself. She had been living with me for most of that time and said that she still felt like she didn't really know anything..
I don't know that I would disagree with that. I was always there for her, there to hear/help with her troubles. But when it came to sharing my own, I guess I always felt that I was much stronger than her. That I could handle my own issues. And I didn't want to share that weight, or put any of it on her shoulders.
Now the cap that's in my life now. She is just as strong as me. Very much my equal. Possibly at times stronger than me. Which super rare, and furthers my googly eyes for her by leaps. I trust the shit out of her. And for the first time can see myself being completely open, telling someone everything. BUT.... Years and years of keeping to myself about everything isn't undone overnight... ha ha.
LOL I've joked/ not even playin' about a commune many times. Some cabin compound deep in the woods. This works for this cow. π
Aww Taibhse. Put your burden down man. So heavy.
Rich coming from me I know. π
Yeah - that has been a big thing for me too. When you finally do open up, you get a shit response, or pick up that the person is not listening, or not that interested if they are. Bad listeners suck. If I feel I have to work to get a friend to listen - like entertain them so they don't get distracted? I basically put them in a category of "not a real friend" from that moment on. I may like them, even like being around them, but they are not really someone that will ever actually know me. Good listeners are so rare in life, and I've found it to be one of the most important qualities in a person. Often though, people take advantage of them. If you are a good listener to others, they feel so excited to have finally found someone they can connect with, they love you for it, but often the thought never even occurs to them to reciprocate.
I'd be interested to hear what signs you bulls have as their closest friends. I have found Libras to be the best listeners, and really good at giving sincere/thoughtful advice.
I agree 100% . Many come to me. Very few truly reciprocate.
My closest friends?
Pisces head the list.
Other Taus.
Sag and Aries.
Two Caps.
I was always there for her, there to hear/help with her troubles. But when it came to sharing my own, I guess I always felt that I was much stronger than her. That I could handle my own issues. And I didn't want to share that weight, or put any of it on her shoulders.
I have this right now actually. Its definitely about strength for me too. My current relationship feels almost like a father-daughter dynamic. Its good to be *able* to really be there for someone else, but I feel she couldn't handle the weight of my stuff, and looks to me for her strength so I have to set an example.
VB - Other bulls are definitely top of my list too.
About Pisces though...Do you find them to be good listeners? I have a male Pisces friend who is hilarious and super fun to be around, but the worst listener. I've met 3 different Pisces females lately that me and my SO hang with. They are pretty incredible and I never realized how compatible we are with the fish. They really seem to be good at making things fun. They definitely seem to want to do a majority of the talking though. I guess I don't mind all that much as they're good at keeping things moving....
The Pisces women I've met also are a little out there. which for me, makes them more interesting. One claims to see ghosts, the other has these really vivid visionary/spiritual experiences. I know that's supposed to be common with people who have heavy Neptune influence.

So, do we Taureans not have many problems or do we just not like to talk about them? Maybe I should start spilling my guts.
You should spill. I relate alot to your posts. Your early morning cadburry egg cracked me up.
I can be completely and utterly myself with Pisces. They love me just the same. At heart I am very much Pisces so there is this incredible flow. I am at ease and at peace. They see within me all I am and all I have to give and greet it with open arms. That is so important and so cherished by me. I haven't the words how much.
Your early morning cadburry egg cracked me up.
WHY DO I FIND THIS SO FUNNY.
While we're being all honest and stuff, idk why but I find the "father-daughter dynamic" so steamy.
Probably because I have Saturn in my 7th. Cancer/Capricorn axis "problems". π

Yes exactly, You're her rock. So you must maintain that solid nature.
I'll tell you from experience man. It's nice to be needed. But very unfulfilling in the long run to not be able to share yourself.. (You WILL find it 'empty' at some point)
Having a equal in every way is leaps and bounds more fulfilling and a 'much' deeper, tighter bond..

Because we all want a good spanking on occasion. π

Admittedly I am perhaps one of the stranger Bulls here and am prone to left field thought processes.
Here I am carving a niche for dead honest questions and equally dead honest replies.
Now, knowing this place as I do I realize either my disdain for drama or lack of same may have this thread sinking faster than the Titanic ..I bravely sally forth in the name of sanity.
