An explanation of my response.

I feel I must explain what must seem as my overreaction to an honor given to me in an internet group. The honor came as I am trying to overcome a virus given to my computer which has greatly affected not only my astrology work but everything I do on the computer. I do not have the training or knowledge to reverse it's effects which are proving very difficult for my old eyes. I was under those conditions when I came to discover the kindness shown to me in this group.

The attack came right after the remark I made after Wawannabe out-rightly directed a post at me by using my name as the header. The post contained strong language insinuating Atticus had attacked me personally and goading me to respond (sort of tRump like behavior). After reading the post referred to I made what I feel was an honest comment about it's author. It seems I have received a disproportionate response by some coward who hides their identity and refuses to take responsibility for their actions. As for Wawannabe's role I feel like I was the fly to her spider. She directed a post at me using strong language then slunk away into the shadows. The good thing is it is not the end of the world, not even close to being in the class of personal health or the threat of Covid.

for the help SheltieLover. Your words are like a soothing balm for my mind.

Even though I feel fine for the most part (the only medication I have in my life is a bottle of aspirin) I am aware that my age, coupled with the fact that I smoked for 55 years, do not have the best diet, and get practically no physical exercise because of an old injury, might produce an unwelcome event just before my coming birthday when transiting Saturn aspects my natal t-square - Sun in Aquarius square a Jupiter-Saturn conjunction and opposite Pluto. The Saturn-Pluto square is exactly 90 degrees in true body positions (right ascension) with the Sun less than 1 degree from an exact square to Saturn and an opposition to Pluto.

When you think of the total number of people who have tread upon this earth I have lived a life much easier than most of them ever did. I have no complaints, only blessings from wherever to be thankful for.

I did not slink away. I have been in two weeks of hell. I was hacked off at the Atticus post and was giving you my thoughts. That is all. I loved your "last two walls" post.

In the last two weeks I have lost my home and the love of my life died. I have been here but not posting much. I am gutted.

You asked me to remind you of the post I was talking about so I did.

All I can say is that I am sorry you feel that I made a web for you. You can call me a black widow if you need to.

I guess I should have done what I wanted to in the first place which was call Atticus out and get jailed for it.

I am leaving Seattle and will be in the wind. You take care.
