Ugh! The stresses of life are just unbearable sometimes. My company is jacking us around so bad. We are 7 business day from closing our doors. The trucks came from Florida to get all of the computers. All of our clients have been transferred to the new owner. We have signed our severence agreements and most have found new jobs. So, yesterday they tell us we have been acquired yet again. This means all severence agreements are null and void and we may be forced to stay with a broken company or leave empty handed. No one wants to stay. We are sick of this **** This would be the third owner in 6 months. You have a bunch of bankrupt companies buying each other to avoid taxes and cover for bankruptcies. It is sickening really. We are getting f-ed, and the millionaires get to keep playing their games. We will know more today. I am not sleeping and am sick to my stomach all of the time. I want off this ride. I am disgusted and worn down. Then, I find out my gym is closing dec 1. for a Traget store. Now, I would give up cable tv for my gym membership. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! On top of that, I call the insurance co. yesterday because they are 3 days away from the 60 they said it took for my TT approval. "Oh no" they say. It is 60 f-ing BUSINESS days! OF COUSE IT IS!!!!!!!! They couldn't tell me that 60 f-ing days ago!!!! I am stressed and sick. I am going to run a few miles and shake off the impending doom and gloom I will be facing today. I wish I could tell my company to F-off and take their job and give it to some poor sucker who is willing to learn to like the taste of **** I could never get used to it. Much Love, Terri

October 13th. Friday. The 13th. My friend's husband just did a chart for me--I'd never had such a thing before. I looked to see the rising sign...but there are so MANY different aspects of it (34 pages). However, the first thing that he talks about is Sun in Libra, moon in Pisces. Hope you can make sense of that! Sun is in the seventh house. Quite frankly, I was hoping to find that my moon was in the Seventh House. And that Jupiter aligns with mars. Because then peace will guide the planets, and love will steer the stars. (Standing, belting at the top of her voice) This is the dawning of the age of aquarius... Oh how I yearn for the '70s. My formative years. Oh, so...I'm a libra who can't make up her mind...self-fulfilling prophecy??

This is a silly question, I know, but I am just curious. What is everyone's astrological sign? I am a huge fan of astrology and I like to see if there are patterns in people. My stats are: Pisces Sun Cancer Moon Pisces Rising If you have no clue about the "sun," "moon," and "rising" bit, just post the sign you know. The "rising" sign is the one based solely on your birthdate. For instance, I'm a Pisces rising because I was born on March 12. Anyway, thanks for your responses. It would be cool to see a pattern between a certain sign and atheist beliefs!

I have had Christians try to argue with me that this country was founded as a "Christian nation." One even told me that all non-Chrisitians, atheists included, should conduct themselves as respectful guests. The person who told me this was a naturalized American citizen who apparently thinks he has more rights to be here than I do. Many times I have heard Christians use the argument "It's freedom of religion, not freedom from religion." Well sorry but freedom FROM religion is one of the choices in a secular nation! What bugs me is how many Christians do not see how proper application of the First Amendment protects EVERYBODY, including them. They don't know what it would be like to be in the minority. I don't think they'd be very comfortable in a courtroom if they had to pass a giant shrine to Vishnu to get in.

I can't believe my typo! "insightful" What was I thinking.
