Problem with New Bike's Horoscope

I've always wondered how astrologers cope when new planets are discovered

Same way they coped with the old ones. They watch the transits to
discover what kind of planet it is.

and considering the relative size of pluto and its distance from Earth how
come they don't take all the asteroids and other minor bodies into account?

Some do, some don't. It's a disputed question in astrological circles.

Seek professional psychological help. I'm not saying this to be a smartass
or wiseguy, but because it sounds like you have some serious issues that
you are trying to cope with using this bogus astrology business.

I agree. Bogus astrology is dangerous rubbish. Stick to the genuine stuff.

Your home pages are absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! Thank you for putting
them out for all to enjoy. I feel as if I have a new meditative
internet companion. I would put my home pages on here, but its all
fluff. Maybe I will try to become more intellectual.....NO
CHANCE!!!!!!!! I like being a little bit of a goof-ball. It keeps me
young in mind and spirit. Body is another issue. ;-) This morning when
I took my bike out, I fell in my driveway. But I did NOT give up. I
rode my bike through little suburbia for 30 minutes. I was sooo proud.
Then I read your meditations. I will be leaving for Lake Tahoe again
in November for a short vacation. Its wonderful riding out there. The
only thing you can run into is a mountain. (or a horse). After I do
the casino thing in Tahoe, I will stay with my niece in Carson City.
Great place to ride a bike. And a horse. I think I better do some work
now. I am getting obsessed with this newsgroup.
PEACE AND STUFF

connecting us in the outer world. They take us there under our own
power at our own pace. Bicycles become our teachers and healers and
friends. They guide us through the greater world by prompting us with
questions and encouragement. Bicycles motivate us through the realms
of science, sociology and spirituality whether carrying us to the
corner or around the world. All we have to do is ride them. That's a
damn good deal."

I plan to explore this more in a subsequent posting, but Boo-Haw, Zoot. You
have described my life! lol.

It is nearing 6:00 a.m. and I am going to go out and just pedal that
cheap bike of mine. I am so glad to hear that this group is not made
up of only young people. It gives me encouragement.

You are now at the foot of a mountain. The route up is like climbing
Everest... but...not...all...at...once! So it is doable. Terry Morse did it
in about 2 years, iirc.

In about a year, you will have learned the packing of the gear, the hiring
of the Sherpas (we call them domestiques, and are composed of family
members and friends), and travelling to that far away location (in the
mind). After a year, I am still learning to pack correctly, and operate the
mechanism, and uh, the mechanisms of cycling. I'm in the foothills of the
journey. It's all about the journey, and in cycling, it's no different.

Anyway, read a lot, listen to the ng members, weed through the joking and
punning, and find the wise-dumb within. Have you read the FAQ? If not, get
thee to it.

Back in the
Day...(I love saying that)...I used to think too much. It was
required in the 60's. I would sit with my friends and overthink every
aspect of life. Considering everyone was in fear of the draft and we
were trying to change the world we DEFINATELY thought alot. Then I

Uh always helps to be able to spell the word you're putting in all caps.
Definitely, yep, yep. ;-D

married and had three kids...at that point it was hard to think where
I left my other shoe and my socks never matched. Sometimes I would
think about where socks go after you put them into the washer but that
was about it. Raising three kids reduces the intellectual brain
function you once had and significantly reduces the amount of FREE
TIME you have. I once had dreams of becoming a writer and living in a
loft in the village

I am always trying to live the dream, and those that do, live it as much as
they can, as often as they can, but maybe inbetween the mundane. You don't
drop or lose the dream. Research the Craighead family. (Anyone remember the
Craigheads?)... Now THAT was a family to be part of...sigh

http://www.jhguide.com/Archives/Feat...0-feature.html

and here I was in Suburbia putting on snowsuits
and trying to find socks while packing a Dukes of Hazard lunchbox.
Now thats over....the kids have grown and I am free again. Free to
ride my bike through the greater world, I think that is a really DAMN
GOOD DEAL. A DAMN GOOD DEAL!!!! Thanks. Maybe I will start writing
again as well. I did my time in the trenches......Its time to connect
to the outer world once more.....Now if I could only figure out how to
earn a living without doing the 9 to 5 thing. Then I would really be
free to be.

Heh-heh, I'm on the beginning of the road to live that life now. I'm
retired and the kid goes to college next year. I'm free to do
whateverthefark I want to do. It's a little bit exciting, and I'm on the
bike to find the road to the full expression of that experience.

Peace and Stuff... :-)

Peace out.

But no one
is going to make me wear those silly biking clothes. Are they made out
of rubber???

Maggie, 'way back when, when I was a jeans and sneakers style cyclist, I saw
a guy at the LBS wearing the most outlandish get-up I ever saw. Black
tights, a high vis chartreuse vest, black booties, weird wrap around
sunglasses, cleats that he couldn't walk in. I thought, god, it takes all
kinds.

But you know, you pedal a few miles, and you find out that real bike shorts
are a lot more comfortable than jeans. And that tight, stretchy clothing is
a lot more comfortable than loose, non-stretchy clothing. Clipless pedals
are so much more efficient than not having them, such that you can't imagine
how you ever rode with a flat pedal and sneakers. And that when motorists
can see you, then they do their best to avoid you, and so you find high
visibility colors and fabrics to wear because it makes you safer. Your feet
get cold and wet after a long ride, and so you seek out neoprene booties to
keep your feet nice and dry, no matter how hard its raining. Wrap around
sunglasses keep crap out of your eyes and you don't get migraines from glare
any more. And poof! You're that weirdo you saw in the LBS years ago.

Ok everyone, let's hear it for POTM!

Go CP!

-B
yep, black tights, black spandex top, Gekos, and Optic Nerves. Good to go.

What the .........??!!!!What are you guys smoking to understand this
thread "crap"???

Well screw the real world. Every wuss here in wussville, the small
and the tall, ride their bicycles safely and go to the mall. I am not
prepared to ride in the BIG CITY yet. Maybe someday, but right now I
think I will ride safely in my little quiet town.
PEACE

You have just described me on my cycle to work this morning except the wrap
around sunglasses were clear because it was dark and the neoprene booties
are not much good when the road is 8 inches below the water surface due to
the heavy rain here in Edinburgh.
The strange thing is, I still enjoyed the cycle in.
