As a pick up line?

I love the kids tan hair!

So they like money. Anything else?

Team Scorpio ! Sometimes I hate when people ask me what my sign is. They always go into judge mode when I tell them Scorpio. They don’t even attempt to get to know ME they assume I’m like the million other scorpios they know.

Interesting bit of trivia about Marcy and Dana…

So, should you read your horoscopes or not?

Astrology assumes that the sun is at zero degrees Ares on spring equinox. That hasn’t been the case for more than 4,000 years because of the precession of equinoxes. That means at no time is the sun actually in any constellation that astrology says it is, when viewed from earth. The irrationally superstitious try to get around their failure to directly observe the sky by trying to make a distinction between “tropical astrology”, which they use, and “sidereal astrology.” They say “The astrological signs are not the same as the constellations by the same names.” I call BS on that.

I’m a Scorpio and I work in the medical field.

A rare sighting of Clarence and Charlene’s kids. Usually we only see the tiny one (Olivet. I think) who sleeps in her uncle’s giant hand.

If he thinks that’s the worst problem with astrology I feel sorry for him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDhxcIaC23k

Saying that Dana “works” in the medical field is like saying that the President works for the government. The Pavilion is not a profession, per se, but a eleemosynary endeavor.

I heard about a long-term study (done over several decades) that was done that proved horoscopes and astrology in general are all bunk.

“Researchers looked at more than 100 different characteristics, including occupation, anxiety levels, marital status, aggressiveness, sociability, IQ levels and ability in art, sport, mathematics and reading – all of which astrologers claim can be gauged from birth charts.

The scientists failed to find any evidence of similarities between the “time twins”, however. They reported in the current issue of the Journal of Consciousness Studies: “The test conditions could hardly have been more conducive to success . . . but the results are uniformly negative.”

I’m a Virgo, but not a compulsive neat-freak. My carpets need cleaning. My closet is a disaster. But I’d rather be calm than pristine.

Mine is Aquarius. We got a lot of good press in the sixties, what with “Hair” and all that.

I happen to be a Scorpio myself.

Got a chuckle out of the date. My birthday is also Nov. 1st, A date shared with three other members of my high school chess club. What are the odd of that?

The horoscope says you’re going to come into some money—-and you find a penny on t he sidewalk.

And that’s as far as it gets.
