for virgo today: The formidable Saturn/Pluto aspect will be a real helping hand, if you let it. More expressive in your views; a little more original in the way you approach everyday life and an ability to be quite charming are a few of the benefits. This aspect is here for months; use it!

photos 7 & 8 of solution #100(at least) and #1 (since puzzle 2 is a new puzzle) respectively to two puzzles

it cuts the distance of FPH's drive (pz 1) and X's drive (pz 2) each by about 1/3-ish, while not displacing me out of either job or country

the house is ugly as hell, clearly - but if you took out all the ugly shit, it would be a lot less ugly right off the bat, and then over time bla bla bla - I'm good at that kind of stuff

the recession (U.S.) sucks, I suppose, but not for me - bc people flock back to college when the unemployment rates go up, and since my income is fixed falling prices of goods and credit (mortgages) are the only way my income goes appreciably up

not that money is a huge motivator for me (hahahah understatement), but

I'm fine now and like where I live and all that . . . but puzzle 1 is a long-standing pisser and puzzle 2 is already becoming a real pain in the ass, with X wanting me to move to downtown Toronto to save himself both the commute and child support (annnnnooooyyying), neither one of which I have any interest in at all of doing

I could post the links to bare land too, solution #101 and #2, etc etc - but the point is, it feels to me like various needs and desires and economic conditions might perfect-storm into momentum toward a backyard the size of a soccer field, a rich little school district, and the building I'm living in providing rental income instead of home [making me considerably better off money-wise in the long run, way]

I am not doing anything actively about this . . . but I'm mulling
