Ha. That would be pretty convincing, actually. I hate to ask such a stupid question as I could probably take some initiative and get the answer myself, but when you say "send a horoscope", what does that mean in terms of data requirements?
I'm planning to unsuscribe Monday and reappear under a more anonymous moniker. I am sufficiently paranoid about what I have posted here being found by some future employer and others. I googled myself last week out of curiosity and the Occupy Seattle pics I posted came up tagged to FFL. Luckily, that's not a huge deal. I've been fairly transparent here, probably because the distance gives me some sense of security. Having never participated in an interactive forum like this, and never intending to, I didn't think it through in advance. ________________________________ From: Xenophaneros Anartaxius <anartax...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2011 12:50 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: [Fairfield Life] Can an enlightened person have lust? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Denise Evans <dmevans365@...> wrote: > > That might be too personal for me...I have trust issues :)  My typical MO is > to give these "healer" people no information about me whatsoever, so whatever > they are doing is not influenced in some subconscious or conscious way by > preconceived notions or judgements.  If I think, feel, or intuit that they > are being influenced heavily by either their own, or my own pathologies, I > stop seeing them or dismiss their conclusions.  You know too much already.  You could send him 20 different horoscopes and have him pick out the correct one to work on based on what you post here.
