wow, Capricorns...MSN Astrology is crazy accurate!

[MrCoffee]

i can't believe how well-suited and narrowly tailored these predictions and advice are for me personally. it's like they intimately know me or something :sarcasm:

WHEN MEETING NEW PEOPLE:

DO: Quickly find some common ground between you and your new acquaintances. Then make the most of it. Whether it's a current event you both heard about, or an interest you have in common, it could bring you a new friendship.

DON'T: Go over the top talking about your business. Even if your new acquaintance works in the same field as you, don't talk shop. It's important to show a different side of yourself. This will arouse interest in you – not your job.

WHEN DATING:

DO: Make use of your innate sense of style. Nothing catches the eye of a new potential partner more than looking smart and spiffy. You don't need to look like you just stepped out of VOGUE or GQ. Just look your best.

DON'T: Bend your date's ear by going into the intricate details of your latest business enterprise. It's important to remember to show an interest in your partner!

IN FASHION:

DO: Purchase the highest quality clothes you can find at the lowest possible prices. You like to dress in the latest styles, but you aren't all that keen on designer prices. The right store for you is out there. Find it!

DON'T: Buy nothing but business suits. You do have a life outside the workplace – at least, you should. Go ahead and be a little frivolous. You've earned the right!

WHEN STARTING A NEW WORKOUT PROGRAM:

DO: Pick a regimen that appeals to you. You're not the type to abandon anything, so it is best you find a program that you like.

DON'T: Get so caught up in a routine that you get bored with it. Change your routine every once in awhile. Try different exercises that bring the same results occasionally. That way it won't become a chore.

WHEN CLIMBING THE CAREER LADDER:

DO: Continue just as you're doing: Be nice but firm with everybody, and go right on doing business the way you always have.

DON'T: Expect all your colleagues and subordinates to be just as efficient and business-savvy as you are. We can't all be Capricorns!

WHEN DEALING WITH A NASTY NEIGHBOR:

DO: Chase them away by telling them all the details of your latest business project. Unless, of course, you expect he's really an industrial spy.

DON'T: Ask him his opinions of your project. You just might get them!

WHEN SHOPPING:

DO: Spend as much time in the casual wear department as you do looking for business suits.

DON'T: Expect perfection. Unless you're willing to make alterations, you won't find exactly what you're looking for. Be flexible.

WHEN DOING HOUSEHOLD CHORES:

DO: Hire a cleaning service. You may be great at business, but household chores just aren't your thing.

DON'T: Stand over the cleaners and look stern. Let them do their job. You'll want them to come back, after all.

WHEN COOKING:

DO: Go for elegance. You enjoy a cozy, semiformal atmosphere, and if you have guests for dinner, so will they. Spoil yourself a little.

DON'T: Stick with the same few favorite foods you always prepare. Try some new recipes from time to time. If you don't like them, you never have to eat them again.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY:

DO: Avoid rush hour traffic whenever it's humanly possible. Your days are stressful enough without it.

DON'T: Drive too slow. Caution is good, but slowing traffic down can be just as dangerous as driving too fast. Go with the traffic.

WHEN IN LOVE:

DO: Go for the type of person you want from the start. You tend to get too attached too soon – and if you're out with someone who's more for fun than for commitment, you might find yourself in love before you know it. You also risk breaking the other person's heart.

DON'T: Treat your partner the same way you treat a subordinate at work. Instead, let your earthy, sensual side show through, as well as your fidelity and devotion.

1. Well, this little bit of advice suits me.

I do try to get around rush hour traffice and I never drive too slow. Of course, when you live in the Atlanta area, if you drive slow, you are bound to be tailgated.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY:

DO: Avoid rush hour traffic whenever it's humanly possible. Your days are stressful enough without it.

DON'T: Drive too slow. Caution is good, but slowing traffic down can be just as dangerous as driving too fast. Go with the traffic.

2. that bit of advice suits everyone...

what, Tauri don't have to sweat rush hour?

[skygazer]

3. I'm supposed to be a business executive?

:cry: No one told me!

[MrCoffee]

4. it's not too late to go ahead and hire a cleaning service

as long as you don't hover over them, of course.

5. They really nail the Scorpio in me

:sarcasm:

WHEN MEETING NEW PEOPLE:

DO: Listen, but be careful not to gaze too intently at the speaker. Respond once in a while, instead of being the strong, silent type. Even if you don't have much to say, comment occasionally. This will set those around you at ease.

DON'T: Express your opinions too forcefully. If the subject is controversial, keep your most passionate ideas to yourself. As you know people better, you can be more outspoken. But if you want to make new friends, tone it down at first.

WHEN DATING:

DO: Look your best in whatever style you're most comfortable. Don't try to look sexy. You radiate that quality anyway, and if you're on a first, second, or even third date, you don't want to be overwhelming.

DON'T: Force your date to bear the entire burden of the conversation. It's great to be a good listener, but if you don't speak up occasionally, your date could feel like being with you is too much work.

IN FASHION:

DO: You prefer dark colors, and they probably suit you. However, don't always do the Johnny Cash thing and wear nothing but black. Accessorize with color, and jewelry if you like it. Otherwise, you'll appear too intimidating.

DON'T: Forget about what you're going to wear until the day of the event. Plan in advance. Otherwise, you might find that all your appropriate clothes are in the wash.

WHEN STARTING A NEW WORKOUT PROGRAM:

DO: Join a gym and find a personal trainer. For you, exercise is a chore, not an invigorating pastime. It's more fun, however, if you work with someone whose enthusiasm is catching.

DON'T: Offset the benefits of your workout by eating too much. Ask your trainer if he or she can recommend a dietary regimen that will satisfy your hunger while promoting your fitness goals.

WHEN CLIMBING THE CAREER LADDER:

DO: Emphasize your perseverance, and skill with money. You may not enjoy business parties, but you can cope. Just be polite, and speak from time to time.

DON'T: Spend too much time working. If a fortune is at stake, you might be tempted to work overtime to get things done, but even you have your limits. Always make sure you get enough sleep.

WHEN DEALING WITH A NASTY NEIGHBOR:

DO: Make the most of your intensity. Stare her right in the eye, and allow her to scream and yell until she's too tired to say any more. Then say, "Is that all?" She just might turn tail and run back in the house!

DON'T: Say anything that could be construed as a threat. Your intensity is enough to throw her off guard. Then, quietly, if you can, correct whatever problem she has. Believe me, she won't know what to make of it at all!

WHEN SHOPPING:

DO: Be sure you buy whatever it is you need. Go for quality. You tend to pinch pennies, but if you need something, buy it. If you don't, you'll just have to come back to the store.

DON'T: Get bored and go home before you finish what you came for.

WHEN DOING HOUSEHOLD CHORES:

DO: Get some help and make a party of it. Usually, you don't mind being alone, but housework can be so boring that you may need some company to ensure that you get it done.

DON'T: Start having so much fun you forget what you're supposed to be doing.

WHEN COOKING:

DO: Try to find some better food than what you can pick up at fast food joints. You need to take care of your health, perhaps more so than others. Find a low-fat cookbook and use it.

DON'T: Fall back into your old patterns.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY:

DO: Stay alert. Don't go off into a fugue and sink into your own thoughts. No matter how empty the highway, it's still safety first. Try playing lots of loud music.

DON'T: Take out your frustrations on the road.

WHEN IN LOVE:

DO: Show your feelings profusely. Bottling them up won't do you or your beloved any good. Be affectionate.

DON'T: Share your frustrations with your beloved. If you don't, your mate will think you're upset with him, or her. Don't create more insecurity than your dear one already has. Be more open.

6. quit gazing so intently at me, you psycho

and please, quit eating so much fast food!

[flvegan]

7. Is that all, neighbor?

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

8. You should play loud music when you drive, to stay awake.

Y'know, since you have a big problem with that, being such a sedate driver.

Also, you need to quit the fast food and get somebody to show you around the gym.

Holy crap, that's priceless. :rofl:

Edit: and stop overdressing. You can't wear your best t shirt every day, show off.

9. Here's my daily, also crazy wrong

January 3, 2008

This is unlike you, dear Pisces, but today you are a lean, mean cleaning machine. (Last crazy cleaning binge: Yesterday. Apartment? Sparkling.) You get it in your head that this is the day for putting the house in order, (again) and you set about doing it single-handedly. That's way too much cleaning and organizing for one person to do. Why not enlist some help? Bribe your partner (Hon, I need you to fly three thousand miles to help me clean my clean house. I'll make you a pie.) or kids, play some loud music (hello, did we miss the apartment thing?) and all of you will finish the tasks (that are already done) in no time.

10. WSJD!

You really don't want to see Jesus in traffic. You think he was tough on the moneylenders? Add a little road rage to that!

His days are stressful enough, what with dying for our sins and all.
