About Me
- Name: jm
I am a brilliant creation of the universe formed from the cosmic protoplasm sailing into eternity. I have two hands, two feet, a couple of great ears, and I'm clipping through life at a moderate pace; minding my p*s and q*s, crossing my t*s, dotting every i.

Hej! Happy Halloween everyone!
Thanks JM for this site you pour so much of your energy into. Thanks to all for the treats you leave!
i'm off to knock on Neith's and Pat P's Pichron doors....
Ha Ha Blogger is playing tricks this morning and won't let me post this, well later then....
Yes, Happy Halloween, Happy Samhein, and Happy day of trickery and treatery, everyone.
Thank you so much jm for all thoughts, treats, advice, and ideas. I'm definitely better mood-wise today, though still hoarse and coughing. I'm pretty sure I've heard of Joanna Reilly -- if I don't shake this thing I may go see her. Your advice about patience hits home. Anyhow today I am beginning to feel like perhaps I've turned a corner, if I don't overdo. I've also been taking some homeopathic flu stuff with echinacea that I found I had -- not Boiron, but maybe it will help as well.
I can only echo the above sentiments. :o) Samhain (Summer's End) is here, and winter is coming, but it'll be a warmer winter with you all around. :o)
Thank you so much tseka. Blogger has been feisty lately!
Good news juju! I know you'll be all right.
but it'll be a warmer winter with you all around. :o)
What a wonderful way of putting it, joe, and I completely agree.
So true, Joe! And good to see you during the day for a change! Have a good break from your job - and hope Mercury Rx has left something to go back too . . . :-)
OK, jm . . . now about those pictures of your costumes . . :-)
I still haven't gotten my digicam yet! I told you I was slow!
You cannot believe where a Mars/Neptune goes to get anywhere, talk about convoluted.

LOL!! Like following a cat around . . . :-)
BTW, I put in a request w/family for a digicam for Christmas....there are enough of them to spread the cost out to get a decent one. Funny, I was never that interested in having a regular camera but a digital one I wish for. May have something to do with the ease of viewing & editing pictures.
I was very surprised this year to see that Halloween came almost unnoticed. When I arrived in this town 30 years ago, it was one of the major holidays with grand citywide celebrations. Through the years the fanfare diminished but this year it has been almost nonexistent.
I wonder if the newly diminished status of our dwarf Pluto has taken some of the sting out of this cheesy horror show. Or is there a more serios tone in the air this year. More distractions.
It seems to be more than that.
I did enjoy costuming and I ALWAYS love a party, but the Scorpio time of year has such a deep atmosphere as we contemplate the death cycle and think about spirits. Maybe we don't have to cover up the fullness of the sombreness so much now.
Today actually has a good vibe to it. Very good.

Hey! I'm family! Maybe I'll get one by that sacred time.
Way way way back I wanted to become a photographer. Most of all I love the act of framing space and experience. With this digital thing, the ease of cropping sends me into ecstasy. I get a thrill every single time I click the crop button. I'm easy to please.:-)
I find it interesting that Halloween is so associated with the color orange...warmth and I think, intellectual wisdom. I do think the dead are always teaching us. Even the moment of death has been a clear passage into knowledge for me with every one I've experienced.
I see it, with the end of DST, as the beginning of the dark long night season and maybe the heat of orange is symbolic of the inner warmth we will be calling upon.
Try this again . . . lost the darn thing before.

Me too! Love how easy it is!
Do you think our resident wizard would be willing to share some of those fascinating bits of info on the Holiday?! I have a suspicion he knows faaar more than the rest of us do about the internet . . :-)

HA HA HA!! Oh I certainly do hope so. Can't predict his wild schedule though. Magicians are like that!
I used to party every Halloween, usually dressed in drag as a gangster with a fedora and a great little mustache. Scared some people I was so convincing.
One year I wore a copper sequined tube top as a mimiskirt and danced the night away.
But the wildest one was when the my artist went in drag to a military bar in Colorado Springs I was performing in. He had small breasts in a silver sequined tube top, a long black velvet skirt, a fake fur coat, and short gray hair. I helped him with the makeup. He was so weird. The young soldiers were confused as he sat in the audience and watched my show. Normally a loud person, he was very quiet that night. I think he took himself quite seriously.
I always dressed up when i took my son trick or treating in the neighborhood. One year i went as a TV. I had a ghost that had LED eyes and would go ooooooo then i squeezed it. it flew around inside the TV set, approximately where my stomach is....rabbit ears and a cord -head and tail....
Oh we've had some fun!
Juju hey that is good news. In general you know that you have the correct remedy when you feel a sense of well-being. You may still have symptoms but feel like you are on the right path. From what you've said it appears you have. A second general rule is to continue to take the remedy until all symptoms have cleared then do a "kicker dose".
wishing you well.
HA HA HA HA!!! That sounds wonderful! Elaborate.
I'm not going to let it go just yet. I still have some costumes left in me and when I'm 88 and unbearably eccentric, it should be interesting.
Thanks tseka.

I stopped the echinacea and the symptoms started acting up so I'm going to continue and do the kicker. Good advice.
The first year I came to Denver Halloween fell on a weekend and there was a party the likes of which I'd never seen before and haven't seen since.
Thousands of people downtown in the square in costume packed tightly but euphoric. A gentle beautiful noise they made in the cold night air as we found warmth in our bodies so close and humor in all the parody. An incredibe costume contest and a live band. Parties all through the weekend which culminated in a screening of the old silent film Phantom of the Opera in the old, ornate, velvet curtained Paramount Theater with live organ acccompaniment. Everyone in costume again including a giant King Kong who was one of the highlights of the whole weekend. By that time we all knew one another.
It was fabulous and gave me confidence in group ritual. I hope we have times like this again with the innocence of this event.
Raise your hand if you've ever soaped a window!
Nope, no window soaping nor toilet paper festooning.
Apple bobbing, bonfires, neighborhood parties following riding around on the back of pickups with hay bales.
Best costume i have seen: a friend dressed as "imagination". Really she could have been the four seasons. A swim fin on one foot, a snowshoe on the other, long evening gloves and a baseball mitt, well you get the idea, she sure looked cute.
My best costume? I fastened small fake baby chickens all over my clothes, and went to work. No one got it. "Chicken farmer?" "Bird man?"
Of course not. I was a chick magnet!
(double the fun for those who knew I am a friend of Dorothy! :o)
Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh Joe, you are so fun!
Of course not. I was a chick magnet!
ROFL!! Joe, I just love your sense of humor . . . that's very creative!

O that's wonderful. Even the name is imaginative.
JOE!!!! That is wild!
