Dear higher powers, I hope so -- for both our sakes.

XOXO,
A Fellow Cancer

I'm a Leo, so we will see what comes rising. Birthdays are on the forefront so we'll hoe for the best.

Cindi

I do love me some tidbits. Thanks!

I don't believe in astrology, BUT, I'm also a July baby and am starting a new gig this coming week (also my birthday week) which may last a year or longer. So, I'm not going to argue with Uranus, either. ;-)

Post away, Purl ... you know we're always excited over a new tidbit (or more) from you! I've recently discovered a new term for us groupies ... blog flies. Doesn't that sound just lovely? *hee*

Ha ha. You said Uranus.

Never not funny!

Here's hoping Uranus is elegant too! Yes, I'm like 12... *snort*

If you make sure to have enough fiber in your diet, uranus will always be elegant. :)

Woohoo! A new moon AND my birthday was on Friday the 13th this time around. I am feeling super special. I've never connected the words elegant and Uranus before. Heh.

my heart will always hurt for you Laurie I know that they are not pets but our children,most loyal friends and confidants. I wish i could be there to help you in this situation.. unless you wanna take a little drive up the I5 my door is open ....... but as a Libra I am always out loolking for an elegant Uranus

my little boy, 4, calls Uranus "ubenus" which sounds terrible close to "your penis." great. and yeah, I laugh every time. but he knows the other 8!

I was wishing I was a Cancer there for a second....

An elegant angle to Uranus . . . . and lucky breasts.

I want LUCKY BREASTS!!

But then I took another sip of my coffee and was ok with just being a Virgo.

"July’s energies will inspire a combination of forceful material/security drives and inspired creative drives in you."

Lord, I hope so. I need to be inspired.

Been reading and thinking of you daily, Laurie. Hugs.

In the spirit of telling stories to cheer you up, here is a story about my cousin, the "brave" B...

While growing up my family spent most summers helping out my aunts and uncles on their farms. One particular cousin "B", is about 4 months older than me and we (the oldest of the cousins) were about 15 years old at the time. Being the oldest, even by the narrow margin he was, he thought he was "grown up."

They lived in an ancient farm house that was supposedly "haunted," particularly upstairs! My uncle perpetuated this every chance he could get.

One day after Uncle had told some pretty scary ghost stories, B was in his room upstairs (the only room that was upstairs). His door was mostly shut. I told my sister and our other girl cousins that I had an idea... I snuck (sneaked?) up the stairs slammed the top of the door with my fist and kicked the bottom of the door as hard as I could. I then silently ran down the stairs and out the door.

You could hear this "fearless" 15 year old boy shrieking like a little girl all the way down the stairs, even from outside the house!

We were all outside laughing until our sides hurt!

Ha ha ha hah HA!

> And may Uranus be elegant on that day.

You can help it along with cologne.

My birthday was on the 12th and I sure could use some new GOOD luck for a change. Hopefully $$$$$ related?

Smooches!

Laurie, I hope you know that we are here for you thru the good the bad.... and the sad...

hugs darlin
Heidi

you never fail to crack me up.
I never knew Uranus could be elegant
or anything remotely similar
bring on the tidbits !!

Of course, we understand.

The kitty says hi. Well, she would if she was awake. ;^)

I just had my birthday AND got engaged, so my anus MUST have been elegantly angled!
Hooray crabs! Right?

Who even knew Uranus could be elegantly angled?

Yay, go Cancerians! I will go and light a candle, I very much want a god outcome on something next week.

I overheard two neighbors putting the trash out:

Lady #1: Last night the sky was so clear...

Lady #2: Ohh, yes, I know, I was just telling Mr Y on the corner that I saw your anus last night...

That is true, scouts honor!

Only one desire? Crap. Time to start making a list and prioritizing it.

Happy Birthday to me!! Happy Birthday to me!! Happy Birthday dear meeeeee-eeee!! Happy Birthday to me!!!!

Ooooo and a good sounding horoscope too?!? On my actual birthday?!? Cool....

So I turned 30 today (7-14-77, lucky 7's anyone?) I think I'm entitled to a little bit of crazy : )

Love ya & your own brand of crazy, Aunt Purl! Mad huggs your way!

Doesn't the moon always encompass the elegant angle of uranus?

Laurie,
After Walter died, it took me weeks to be able to look at any of my millions of photos of him. He was my #1 model for over a decade. So fluffy and adorable. And then, like any good OCD, once I could look again, that's all I did for 3 or 4 days straight. (not kidding.)

In case it's of interest to you, or your readers, I think I've linked my name to a post on my blog about a Snapfish collage poster thingey that I stumbled upon over this very time. There is a photo of Walter's memorial poster on the post, and a link to the Snapfish offering too. Funny (not ha ha funny)...these 30 photos I started with were only from April of this year! (and a few I got back from his godmother's email folder I'd sent her over the last several months.) The other bazillions of him are trapped on a dead iMac and a dead iBook that went away with a data recovery man yesterday. Prayers that he can get my HDs to give up my photos, if nothing else.

I was very happy with the easy online upload process and the end product. Of course I've not yet hung it. It is still in the tube. "I'm looking for the right frame" is my excuse for this month, and I'm gonna have to stick with that. Y'all understand.
Laura

It took me a couple of days, but I could finally come back to your post. I took my kitty to the vet the morning of your "make me bawl in my office post".

Can we see some knitting?? I think that will make us feel better as yarn and wine always do.

We love your tidbits!
I just got back from Paris, I thought of you!

I was in a grade school play where I was cast as a "clown from Uranus" once. Mmmmm, thanks teachers!

Saluting uranus!! May it always be elegant!!

Hey y'all? I think our CAP is trying to change the subject, so let's all help her out?

in elegant angle to Uranus?

SNORT

May Uranus be merry and bright
And may all your gaseous escapes be bright

(singing to the old Bing Crosby version of White Christmas and dodging the shoes being thrown at me as I run down the hall)

Um, speaking as a Crab, with a birthday on the 15th, (and as someone who suffers from IBS), I truly enjoy the "elegant Uranus" forecast. I mean, really! I have IBS. It's always been my dream to have anything remotely positive related to the word "Uranus."

Hey, thanks! I just had my birthday (the 12th) and this little tidbit is just what I needed!

All the good "Uranus" comments are taken, so I'll pass. (snicker)

Hmmm. An unexpected development surrounding youranus? Lucky breaks in youranus? Sounds painful! LOL!

I'm a Cancerian too (June 29th) so I hereby declare my most important desire: that all of the positive, happy, beneficial-to-me desires I'm currently co-creating with the Universe manifest magnificently and beautifully for the rest of my life.

That's right. The Genie in the bottle with his three puny wishes never had a chance with me. I know how to ask. ;-)

Laurie, feel free to change the subject to whatever you want! I completely understand.

Ooooooooo! Susan Miller! My fav. She is usually FRIGHTENINGLY right-on.

Me, I'm a Scorpio. Gotta love a water sign.

I'm glad to hear that things will be looking up for you today. I'm a Virgo and mine is coming up soon. I hope mine will hold as much goodness as yours does! I love tidbits by the way so I'll take all you've got! Dig deep!

OK then--Uranus rules! About time....

The other 11 signs can be content with the knowledge that today is Shark Awareness Day. So if you see a shark, please be aware of it.

Hmmm...does the elegantly angled Uranus come with a harmonious colon? A righteous rectum? The mind boggles!

All these Uranus jokes...I won't even try! ;-D

You're funny. And brave and kind. That's why we all love you.

Ok, now that I have (mostly) figured out this fancy way of putting a photo address in an email.. watch out world.. cause, the one thing that I do have are some PHOTOS! :D

Ha ha.. I promise I won't hold you hostage and show you slides of my vacation to the diner on the state line of Oklahoma/Kansas that was closed when I stopped by and the lights were all burned out..

Ok, I can tell that the crowd is starting to squirm in their seats.. so, on w/ the photo.

THIS is something that I giggle at everyday that I see it on my way home. It is on my street- and so true.. at least they are trying to have TRUTH IN ADVERTISING and maybe I shouldn't giggle at them? Ok, I can't help it.. and if you knew how much I have to pay in rent every month in this neighborhood.. you'd giggle too. *NOW I know that the name is in Korean.. but, LOOK for the English words on the sign- that is the name of the company! Let the giggling begin...

http://s126.photobucket.com/albums/p120/iwouldratherbeknitting/?action=view¤t=korea010-1.jpg

Ok, in case that photo address didn't work- I made a subfolder for it- so, try again..
http://s126.photobucket.com/albums/p120/iwouldratherbeknitting/thingsthatmakemelaugh/

Still experimenting.. bear w/ me.. a better photo if it works though. :D
http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p120/iwouldratherbeknitting/thingsthatmakemelaugh/korea008.jpg

Doing the happy dance.. it worked! It worked!
OK, use this one.. use this one.. (read the other statment and look at this photo)

WOO HOO... I finally figured out a way so that just the photo shows up.. (not the way where the reader has to find the photo and then click on it so it's big enough to see)

Ok, you may continue w/ reading and posting.. but, do give me a 'imaginary' high 5 before you do! :D

A guy walks into a doctor’s office with a lettuce leaf sticking out of his ass.

Doctor says, "Hmmmm, that's strange."

The guy replies, "That's just the tip of the iceberg."
********

[Well, that's sort of related.]

Hmmmm....."Take some time to retreat, regroup and refresh, and know that you’ll be moving in some new directions come autumn. Remember, Gemini, that the beauty and strength of your sign lies in its ability to capitalize on what works while having the wit to vacate what doesn’t. If something isn’t right, let yourself move on."....

I think Phyllis said I can go take a nap. (g)

Totally unrelated to this post but I grew up in the Valley in a cute little house just off Burbank between White Oak and Balboa. Is there still a Trader Joes around there? Whichever intersection is more westerly. I was telling my family about your blog and my Dad wanted the URL and I'm thinking, "Um, Dad, knitting and cats," but you can see we all want to live the Valley vicariously through you. (My entire family has moved north.) Very sorry about poor Roy. We're more dog people but FULLY understand the loss of a pet. He was lucky to have you.

I've had cats all my adult life, and my most favorite of all was Pickles. He had a tragic end to his young life. Today I went to an Arts & Wine festival, and in a booth I saw a shirt that says, "Heaven: all the cats that ever loved you will be waiting at the gate." So of course I bought it!

Wow, thanks for the info. Since my birthday is the same day as yours, I guess my Uranus must be elegant too.

I just followed the link to the horoscopes and found this little gem:
"You can go shopping once you reach the bright new moon, July 14, but not any earlier, as it is never wise to spend a great deal of money while Mercury is retrograde. Indeed, it's not good to spend money on dates that fall too close to the turn of Mercury to direct either. So even if Mercury turns on July 9, wait until July 14 before you buy your iPhone or new HDTV or new computer. You'll be glad you waited." That´s for all my fellow pisces :-))
So it will be shopping time *bg*
And, btw, the angle of Uranus is "lovely" for pisces :D

Okay: so I read that and thought it said "ELEPHANT angle of Uranus". What the...? LOL

Hey, what fantastic news, since today is my birthday! Let's just say that the way my life has been lately, I'll take all the lucky breaks I can get. I guess I'd better be on my best behavior if I want to have an elegantly angled Uranus! LOL

Seems the older I get, the less elegant it is. You're just lucky Uranus is still elegant at some angle or other.

i'm so glad to hear about the elegance of uranus.

July 14 was my birthday, too! (Now I'm sixteen.) I didn't make any wished tho.

I read that Uranus is "poised for summer surprises." That sounds painful. Happy New Moon!

While working towards her nursing degree, my girlfriend's daughter had to do a tour of duty in the emergency room where she saw many elegantly angled uranuses. They usually had something stuffed inside. Household items, rodents, human appendages... :D

I've been reading Susan Miller for years. She is really great.

Wow.. the desire that is most important to me as a fellow crabby-crab? I know what the end goal is (being financially able to leave my husband within a year)... Let me see where I can shine that elegantly angled Uranus to have it happen.

I'm sorry to whine, and I know you're busy, but could you go back to doing horoscopes? these other people make me scared, because it's all about security and heart's desire and if I don't make The Best Decision Possible, I Am Doomed. If I knew what the Right Decision was, I'd make it.
Any other Libras feel this way?

My old college roommate was an emergency room nurse for many years, and she saw many interesting angles of Uranus, but none of them were elegant.

Once the vibrator was completely, um, engulfed, and was still ON. It was a blur on the X-ray.

In other instances, sometimes the poor gerbils would still be alive upon extraction. She would wash them thoroughly with surgical scrub soap, take them home and name them after John Waters characters.

I'm a Capricorn so Uranus or anything else elegant is always welcome! And don't forget to get Uranus back home when you do your book tour!!!

Tomorrow is my Birthday - Yeah to us Crabs!!

How ya doin' today? Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you...

I was reading this today:
http://icanhascheezburger.com/
You've probably read this already...it just makes me laugh.

Not related to your post, but I was in L'Occitane today unexpectedly (we don't have many of them around here but I was visiting a mall I don't go to much) and I couldn't remember which of their products you said was the Best Thing Ever. And I was all "I wish I had Laurie's cell number so I could ask her!" But then I realized it was a good thing I didn't, because a random call like that probably would have been rude. Ah well.

Lots of love to you Laurie - you have dealt with so much - life will get better!

Oh dear. I have to tell you that a few years ago my parents lived in a subdivision where all the streets were named after celestial objects. The street they lived on was, unfortunately, named Uranus. I cannot tell you how many different ways they tried to come up with to pronounce that name and it just never worked. To this day, whenever we say, "...when you lived in that house on Uranus..." it just makes us all giggle.

Hope your coming week is full of good things!

Forgive my innocence- but.. 'so', the gerbril rumor is true? But, no wonder they get stuck.. supposing one could 'somehow get' a gerbril 'uh, there' how on earth did they think it was going to come out? BY calling.. 'come on gerbril, you can come out now.' I've got fresh food and water waiting for you.

I mean.. gerbrils aren't really known for knowing their names.. you know.

I think it's best that I don't understand. I think I've lost some innocence today. Sigh.. Time to sit down and have a 'real' Dr. Pepper.

Happy birthday to me... Thank you for such a fabulous present on my birthday. I am looking forward to my unexpected developments and lucky breaks!

Cool, I'll have to check out her forecasts. Hope you're doing well!

A lucky break in Uranus. Oh the possibilities.

Hee - I'm an Aquarius, and it says "Uranus brings surprises."

HA HA!!! Im an Aquarius too. Im not quite sure I want anything to do with surprises coming from Uranus. HA HA!!
Yep 12 years old!

Oh yeah and something else.
I havnt been able to wine out in over a year!! prego and then breast feeding. Im going crazy on yearn tho. MMMMmmm Wine.

tee hee hee. I will remember this in a few weeks when I have to have the medical procedure that checks to ensure one's body still contains an elegant Uranus. LOLOL

Hahaha! Happy Monday to you all and thanks for the laugh! But I'm just curious, what angle does Uranus have to be in for it to be elegant?

ROFLMAO !!!!! Who am I to argue with the elegant angle of Uranus? I picture my rather tallish remarkably thin bossman angled over at the copier.... HAHAHAHAHA

I certainly hope Uranus was being elegant and kind to you, because it was pretty much ignoring me on that day - me, an Aquarian -- one of its own!

that was a good morning snort ... as i misread "lucky breasts" too :)

Hang in there, darlin'. This too will pass.

As for going off and leaving your purse ... join the club. I did it a year ago next month -- distracted, as you were (but not by having lost a loved one, just by having too many things to do and not enough time to do them in). I was not as fortunate as you -- it was gone forever by the time I got back to the store.

HUGE PITA, as you might expect, and I am still occasionally reaching for a card or photo and realizing -- Damn! That was in the purse!

Worst of all? I had an almost-full punch card from my LYS! I hope the scum-sucking bottom-feeder that swiped it is forced to knit garter-stitch scarves out of cheap acrylic for the rest of his/her/its miserable life.......

Blessings upon your aching heart,Laurie.
Roy was exceptionally fortunate to have someone as loving as you for his mommy,as are all of
your babies. May your pain remain forever outweighed by happy memories!
