We seem to have a lot of February born people on this thread.

Lovely man has gone quiet...

Flipper924 · 18/02/2013 07:36

Belated birthday wishes, Bant! Hope you had a good day, sorry I went to sleep before seeing your answer!

Bant · 18/02/2013 08:02

thanks guys. Had a lovely day, lunch with the DC at their favourite restaurant, then dinner with friends. Sushi and beer. Yum.

KinNora · 18/02/2013 08:24

Belated happy birthday, Bant. Does everyone on here have birthdays in February ? ( For those old enough to remember, I'm toying with launching into song ' This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, Age of Aquarius, Aquaaaaaaaaaaarrriiiiiiuuuuuuuuuuuuuus' . )

Supposed to be talking to Weird Coincidence Man on the phone later. Or not, new assertive me is complaining about having agreed to do it. Think I'll see what the tone of his texts is like before I decide - any hint of interviewing me for the post of girlfriend and he can do one.

Whilst not believing for a moment in astrology, Aquarians are generally the best. Glad you had a nice day bant :)

I'm going to spend my day reading and knitting. Might make some scones.

VoiceofUnreason · 18/02/2013 09:49

Snape - plain ones please, none of those fruity or cheesy things, thank you.

Bant, I tend to think that these friends with benefits arrangements are usually in the favour of the male but maybe not always. When I've found myself inadvertently tangled up in such an situation it is me who got hurt (this is the case with my recent ex). Once of twice I've been fine with it though.

Snapespeare · 18/02/2013 10:52

Suuuuuuure. Hmm

mercury7 · 18/02/2013 11:08

re the preponderance of aquarians (I'm one too) is it any wonder, that that eccentric free thinking loners who dislike convention would struggle with relationships?
of course astrology is bunk but if anyones interested I have virgo rising with a libra moon and hasnt the world gone crazy since pluto went into capricorn!!

FlorentinePogen · 18/02/2013 11:17

Us Librans are the most well-balanced because we have a chip on both shoulders.

KinNora · 18/02/2013 11:24

Yeah, whateva, fire signs is where it's at, man.

( I like sultana scones - bagsy Voice's share ).

mercury7 · 18/02/2013 11:29

Scrazy I think thats true, because, for various reasons men are more likely to be the ones wanting sex outside of a relationship.

Thats not to say it cant be a symbiotic (as opposed to parasitic) arrangement

ike1 · 18/02/2013 11:53

I am a half believer in astrology ....I seem to fit the aqua characteristics: slightly detatched, free thinking, eccentric. Quite experimental sexually but I can take it or leave it.

One of the kids are home off sick ...sigh...

ike1 · 18/02/2013 11:56

The one area where I am not a typical Aquarian is that we are supposed to be 'visionaries' so we should an interest in technology. I am the biggest technophobe possible....

ike1 · 18/02/2013 11:58

Oh and I will experiment but not with my anus (nuff said)....

48howdidthathappen · 18/02/2013 12:30

I am a lioness Grin Non predatory!

KinNora · 18/02/2013 12:45

And I'm a ram, albeit one without the requisite bits.

Snapespeare · 18/02/2013 12:50

I'm Aquarius, Scorpio moon and Sagittarius rising. Well, you can imagine how insufferable that makes me... Well it would. If it wasnae baws! :)

KinNora · 18/02/2013 13:21

Apparently, and it has taken me a while to find a free website that works this load of tosh out, I'm Aries with Leo rising and my moon in Scorpio. I reckon this must make me a sex machine.

lubeybooby · 18/02/2013 13:25

I'm a gemini monkey (mixing western and chinese) and I definitely fit what it says in the books. But then does every gemini born in 1980? weird thought.

KinNora · 18/02/2013 14:30

1980 ? Bloody hell.

Poppysquad · 18/02/2013 15:14

Blimey - don't post for a few weeks and so much has happened. Been missing the updates and encouragement, so I am determined to stay in touch

Flipper924 · 18/02/2013 16:35

I'm a very typical cancerian, but have no idea about rising this and that
-which site did you find, Nora?

I have a karma question: is it bad to laugh at someone's misfortune if it seems like they're getting their just desserts? Had a text from the abusive ex saying sorry to be a pain, but he and OW have been burgled, and do I have receipts for things. Part of me wants to text back that if he doesn't have receipts, then perhaps things weren't his to take, while another part is livid at his cheek. Luckily the sensible part of me took over and I deleted the text. What a cock.

smoothieooo · 18/02/2013 16:51

Place marking with the news that I'm an Aries and weirdly seem to be mostly contacted by other Arians in the OD world (and obviously haven't expressed a preference).

I do love a bit of schadenfreude Flipper Wink
