Right?

I used to try to draw a complete sentence from them, but now don't even bother.

What, for instance, is an appropriate response to, "mi inpiration, mi sasy laidy"?

I've got nothin'...drawing blanks here.

You could say, "mi u write lik muh fiv yer uld!"

Yes, they are, and the reason (I suspect) is that there's so much coldness in the world today. So many people have been hurt by others that (like you said) even if a sincere man were to come along and say something romantic you might put him off due to this preconceived notion.

Well, I have to assume that English is not a first language here, and I don't really mind that as much as that they are so easily impressed to think they are inspired by a few sentences in a profile. Maybe I'm too critical on that point, but REALLY?

It was meant as sort of a joke. You know—ha! ha! lol

I actually try not to store preconceived notions. But when you've never spoken to the person before, what makes them think you know how to take their true meaning when you cannot read their facial expressions or body language?

I mean, I think I know what “wanna?” means now, but others write things that could hold multiple meanings that you would key into if you only knew a bit more of the personality behind it.

There are some here with little tolerance for posters who can't string a perfect sentence.

[wades through the seriousness....hmm, where's that humor at? it was around here somewhere....]

The bannana dancers always lighten things back up!

Much better :)

4 dmckinnon:

I am a tarot card reader and designer and I did a quick 9 card reading on you to see if I could catch something and here are the energies for the journey I got.

It begins with deep emotional pain. (five of cups)
Then on to emotional conflict and a hard choice.(two of swords)
Then recovering self esteem and discovering love for self. (Page of cups)
Then into the fire of adventure and recklessness. (Knight of wands)
and then there is restlessness and discontent. (four of cups)
and the inspiration and "looking for a cause" stage. (Two of wands)
and then the self judgement stage where you examine your life.(Judgement)
Time spend in education or books. (Page of Pentacles)
and your final desire, wealth and success in business, family and happiness. (Ten of Pentacles.)

That's interesting, but I have no idea what it means.

I have no idea what it means either.
When I do a reading, it represents a journey or a story.

I mean no offense when I say this, but...if you can't explain it to someone, then what good is it?

The cards represent the energy of the moment.
This reading represents a journey that has taken you to this point in time.

This point in time is the last card, the ten of Pentacles. It represents your current desire or intent. (What you want.)

This particular journey began with some emotional loss. (Card one.)
Then a stalemate where you had to make a hard choice. (Card two.)

The details vary and I am not psychic. I only read the cards.

Card three is about finding self love. (self esteem) or discovering self.

These first eight cards are not the important part of the reading. They vaguely indicate the past energies at work on the present moment.

The last card is the present moment.
It speaks to your desire.

Ten of Pentacles: Happy Family, success in business:


<-----------------Here you are the king, surrounded by family, doing business, very wealthy.

---CARD ONE

---CARD TWO


I do the tarot for fun and entertainment.

Again, it is interesting, because each one of those is very close to what has happened to me within the last year and a half. But then those things could be said about anyone at any time in their life.

Well that one is way off, because I have never been wealthy or surrounded by family.

the whole purpose of conversation is to build attraction.

I did mention that this is what you desire.

(But as you say, it can be said about everyone that they want to 'be happy" and be "wealthy" and "be loved."

But that is what came up in your reading.

I am not claiming anything magic going on here. I just designed and I read the cards. Most of the time (95% of the time) they seem to be pretty accurate, but it is all in the interpretation.
