    Oh, I walked into that one. But I should know about that by now...

    I have soft spots for the Wheel, the Hierophant, and the Fool, & have been pegged as the Empress in several situations where a group of people were each assigned a major. But everyone loves the Fool, it's just necesary. I always feel like the cards are teasing me a little for not really believing in them, but I usually use the Thoth deck (or a bridge deck), so they should be used to it. For about a year I mostly read a blank deck of cards, durring that year, I usually got all blank cards wink Does that count as a pattern? I do get a kinda highish number of majors, but if I did the math I suspect it would come out to be insignificant.

    Now, from that you should be able to pin me down pretty well. If you manage to work out my phone number from that, I'll only be a little surprised ;P (You'd need to be at least a little plugged in to... a different community than this...)

    Hmm... when lightly browned... I think I mostly post online smile Usually embarrasing myself in the process.

    Yes. We changed midwives partly because she didn't get it about the blanket. And when my labour went on for four days (with an AWESOME midwife, who DID get it), the blanket was literally the ONLY thing I could think of to take to the hospital. Which led to an awkwardly dressed newborn, but that is another story.

    Speaking of my labour. Although I did eventually go to the hospital, they never gave me enough meds to realistically have affected the labour. My midwife got a brainwave, switched gears, and picked a DEEPLY heated political topic. DS was out within 20 minutes. Shocking even the MW, who was sure I was in for a c-section at that pt (but less direct about that than the OB).

    And, no, the blanket is far from the only thing (was assessed ASD)

    Thanks... but I'm currently lightly browned (&8wks preg.). Doubt I'll have much luck w/it smile <sigh>
    At least I'll be smiling while flapping about failing to sleep, thanks to an ammusing-to-anwer post online somewhere.

    Someone should take away my computer, I'm a bit dangerous around the internet.
    Thank heavens for screan names.

    PS: If I could get the first and last letters right, I wouldn't have a spelling problem <harumph>
