This week is a little annoying. You try to read the stars, but the stars mainly care about BIG IMPORTANT PEOPLE, and that’s… not the Glibertariat.
For example, there is a giant blinking “ruler’s spouse gets caught in extra-marital sodomy,” but since none of you are ruling so much as Andorra, I can’t really tie it into my target audience.
So let’s see what we can find:
Earth-Venus(retrograde)-Mercury-Luna. We’ve got home, double-change, and bad love life. One of the change signs (Mercury) also appears in the alignment:
Jupiter-Mercury-Sol. Jupiter can be read as government/rulership/legitimacy/order/status quo or as a more general happiness/good spirits sign. The Sun is life/growth/general goodness and of course, we have Mercury, the messenger of the gods bringing news/tidings, and it is also the most powerful change sign in the heavens.
If you smoosh these all together and force it into a political context, you get “The growth of government (government program) leads to your home life going to crap.” But how? You could look at the sign you haven’t given a place in your interpretation yet (the moon). The moon is associated with change, femininity, the tides, water, and emotion. So this gives us the possibility that you read something and go on an anti-government tirade, pissing off your S.O. who makes you sleep on the couch. Or maybe that a new regulation shuts down your charter fishing company, resulting in a decrease of income. However, this last bit is contraindicated by the fact that the moon in a waxing crescent, indicating growth, not loss of income. But the moon is in Sagittarius (the archer) which could indicate that your squeeze dumps you for the newly hired game warden hottie that they met.
But none of these interpretations are right, because forcing your reading into any particular context is a guarantee of getting it wrong. The Universe hates a wiseacre.
So what it the correct interpretation? Fuck if I know. I’ve been up all night this week getting my house in order for the arrival of family members totaling one glib, four adults, three children and a particularly large Great Pyrenees/St. Bernard cross that refuses to accept her place at the bottom of the social hierarchy.
Moving on.
Libra loses some of their good luck this week, but keeps their general well-being enhancement from their sign being the FOTM. Their loss is everyone else’s gain, and Mercury moves out of Libra ind int a sign where it feels more comfortable.
That sign being Scorpio. Unfortunately, this is just bringing it into conjunction with Venus(retrograde) and Jupiter. Q is really lucky his birthday was last week, because this is not a good week for the nookie. However, you will NOT be contracting a venereal disease this week, so silver lining.
Saturn in Capricorn and Mars in Aquarius continue to bore everyone.
As mentioned above, the waxing moon is moving into Sagittarius. Good omens for hunting. Just don’t expect wonders in the sleeping bag afterwards.

“extra-marital sodomy”
I can’t even get minimum-marital sodomy!
Thank you. Be sure to tip your waitress.
Astrology is patriarchic af.
Hardly. The moon is NOT associated with cats, knitting or sammiches.
For example, there is a giant blinking “ruler’s spouse gets caught in extra-marital sodomy,” but since none of you are ruling so much as Andorra, I can’t really tie it into my target audience.
Oh sure you can. Just tell me which rulers spouse I should sodomize.
Angela Merkel
I could get on board with sodomizing her:

Challenge accepted.

Do you know who else hated a wiseacre?
Swiss?
My high school superintendent?
Ty Ty Walden?
Moe?
Oliver Wendell Douglas?
A dumb ass?

I think I’ll skip lunch.
Like sucking on a handful of pennies.
Is that Dave Foley?

I was trying to find a wiseacre youtube clip but found this instead
Were you serious about taking a commission?
The book case? Shit, yes, sorry, I suck, I forgot all about that. (I am usually, hell who am I kidding, always drinking when I comment here) I will be laid up for a few months soon though (hip surgery) and not sure when I could get started on a project and assume you would want something sooner than I could get to it. I was actually thinking of doing an article on the Euro system for cabinets. It is far superior to what we have done forever although most cabinet makers have adapted many aspects into what they build these days if they are using concealed hinges which most everybody does.
Speed is not a concern at this point. I’ve got everything situated, so this would be a situation of replacing something that works with something that is (closer to) optimal.
Let me know when your ready to talk specs and cost.

Man, why did I read the comments? OTOH, it’s good to see libs becoming more aware of the war in Yemen. Granted, it’s been three administrations at fault here, but maybe someone will use this opportunity to actually do something about it.
The comments on that link appear to be full of white liberal warriors trying to silence the voice of the minority conservative.
“STAY ON THE PLANTATION, DAMNIT!” they said, with rabid concern.
“So we can mock you mercilessly in article after article.”
“Where do I sign up??”
“If you haven’t been outed to your family, friends, coworkers, and community as a neanderthal cousin-fucking gay-bashing probable rapist self-hating Uncle Tom, please let us profile you.”
So, the family was supposed to drive 22 hours to get here.
They are more than 24 hours late (and counting).
I love my brother, but how the fuck is this possible?
Easy.
I don’t know how some people do it, but they manage to be spectacularly late without remorse or explaination.
If they were using Google maps, 24 hours late seems reasonable.
You moved, and they can’t find the new house?
They showed up at the Milton down in Ulster County?
I would hope they’d let me know in that case.
Some of what they are texting me doesn’t make sense. My brother married into a stereotypical borderer/redneck clan. To save money and to maximize the driver/vehicle ratio on this visit they are taking an RV. Yes, I am totally expecting scenes out of Christmas Vacation. Anyway, the SIL texted me to know that after stopping for the night, they didn’t get back on the road again until 11:00. Isn’t the point of an RV that you can get started moving as soon as someone wakes up?
Of course not, there are people you wouldn’t trust behind that wheel and some who don’t want it. There’s probably a single designated driver.
The real purpose is to save on motel costs.
“The real purpose is to save on motel costs.”
Have you seen the gas mileage on those things? For the price of the gas you could fly first class and stay in fancy hotels. We looked at one for our florida trips. It was very nice but got 2mpg. It would cost us 200 bucks in gas to drive from here to New Orleans.
Were you looking at the double-decker bus version?
Yeah, it was a pretty big one.
This sounds like something my wife and I would do. There’s no way we’d drive 22 hours without stopping here and there along the way. Is there a specific reason they should have been their promptly? If not, maybe they are just enjoying the drive.
Telling me “We’ll see you on the 13th?
And no call saying, “hey, we’re having fun on the road, be a day late”? If not, yes that’s rude and they could definitely improve the communication.
Of November.
You have a point…
The other problem is that they’re bringing my parents. My mother is… a bit uptight. Raised by Prussians who had nothing but scorn for the unserious lackadaisical ways of lesser Germans. I can’t imagine she’s taking this delay well, and I can’t imagine that she’s making the trip especially pleasant for those sharing an RV with her.
And you are looking forward to their arrival? More than their departure?
I’ve got my kitchen Mom-clean!
I understand mom-clean. I am using q-tips to get into corners, because Mom will check. Growing up, we had vinyl flooring in the dining room with a pattern indented into it. Twice a year, she scrubbed it with a toothbrush.
Oh, so you can’t cook until she’s seen it and approved.
I’m not objecting to them stopping to smell the roses/gawk at the world’s largest ball of twine/lay at wreath at Elvis’ grave. I’m wondering how they could miss their self-selected target arrival time by a larger margin than their planned travel time.
Understood. And understandable.
Sounds a little like my sister-in-law. She once called and asked if she and my niece could stay with me for a girl scout conference. (I had a small one bedroom). She showed up with a total of 7 people, 3 adults and 4 teen girls. And didn’t understand why I was annoyed.
There are at least 2 kinds of time. There is the clock I use and the clock my kids use, apparently the clocks are different and reflect generational differences. I have learned not to make reservations by their stated time. Eat the first meal at home.
SIL has a fear of rats?
He should’ve taken that right turn at Albuquerque.
If they made it to Albuquerque, they should pick me up a few cases of Gruet.
Demi-Sec and Blanc de Noir are the best.
My younger brother managed to pull that off once.
He was coming up from the Philly area to visit. A few hours after he was supposed to arrive, I called him to ask if something happened on the way up. He told me he hadn’t left yet but would leave soon.
Arg!
I got Prince Kord to the court of a Minor Dwarf noble to show the contrast in culture with where he came from, and I can’t figure out what to do with him while he’s there. Right now, it isn’t all that differentiated, and the main characters’ goals are to just get supplies for their army and get out of there. I don’t want the next bit to be “and we turned around and left”
I’ve heard that when you’re at an impasse writing, have someone come bursting through the door with a gun.
That usually causes more plotting trouble than it solves. Especially when you are writing medieval fantasy.
Noble throws a feast to welcome the prince to his kingdom?
Well…nobledom…?
Theme, March, or Duchy would all work.
Pass the Duchy on the left-hand side.
Already finished that scene. Only it was the dinner to gawk at the ‘Savage Ethnarchs’.
It’s a Minor Dwarf holiday and their traditions are very different than the Prince’s? Maybe he has to wait a day or two for his supplies because no working is allowed during the holiday?
The reason they’re stuck was already covered. (Note, the Dwarfs do not know that the narrator speaks Dwarfish with conversational fluency)
What’s bugging me is how to use the days there to advance the plot, exposit the cultural differences and not bore the audience or bog down the flow.
That comment got longer than I expected…
Too late.
😉
You got something in your eye?
After my comment, I assume it’s your finger.
I’d imagine trying to navigate the dwarf privy could take up a page or so.
Two words: Dwarf Brothel.
This guy might as well be a Republican mole.

Does he realize that his hands-off approach just alienates him, his city and his party?
Of course. When this shit happened in Berkley I was wondering how they managed to pull it off and then i found out the mayor has a cat named Che.
Fucking commie shitbags.
Hah hah. As if. Little Beirut will continue on like it always has. And the sheep will continue to pull the lever for whoever has the D behind their name, even in supposedly non-partisan races, rather than vote for one of those icky fascist Republicans who want to bring about A Handmaiden’s Tail.
Fun fact, Wheeler was seen as a moderate grownup during his tenure on the county board of commissioners. Ponder that on the tree of woe.
Mr. Mayor for Mr. President!
I love how he calls it the police department’s decision. Hon, we all know that comes from the top.
Huh. Earlier Tulip described her orange chicken recipe and I added that most of those recipes were just sweet and sour sauce flavored with various fruits.
It just hit me…years ago my wife complained that her mother made a chicken dish when she was a little girl that involved a sticky, sweet sauce flavored with pink lemonade but her mother could not remember the recipe. *ding* I just figured it out so I went looking and found this:
https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/lemonade-chicken/
I’m slow but I always get it eventually.
That seems like it would be too sweet. But then, I only like vinegar based barbecue sauces, so…
She hasn’t had it since she was a little girl. She may find that it has a different appeal to her now than it did then.
I’m already popping corn and this is still two years away.

I have a better chance of winning against Trump than any of those pinko idiots. I am starting to think the ‘Hillary will run again’ crowd is right. This will be epic.
