A Future Leaking with Links and Good Things!

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 7:57 am

In Due Time

It took me a day or so to get back from the future. I had set down my crystal ball there and I had to find it before it fell into evil hands. Never know when a wicked witch of OZ will show up to cause trouble But finally here I am to report back in again.

Tuesday Open Comments Night, this week had us predicting. We looked into the crystal ball to foretell our future. We weren’t sure about the part that involved fame and fortune, but we felt certain our blogging friendships would continue on.

And of course our relationship with the Link Leak Virus will be with us as well. — The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes will keep Open Comment Night a link free-for-all.

Welcome to every person who came, all of you fortune tellers are my favorite people in the universe.

Cool links were shared to last for the future.

Back from the Future — rewind

It was November 29th, 2006 at 9:38 am already when Mike stopped by to say that he read the leaves in his tea.
They said a strange friend would send a message or a strange message from a friend would be coming to me.

Cat, who was wiped out from a hard day of meetings,
left us with a pile of future greeting.

Ah Pek says in his country they rely on the power of a medium to find out whether their future only holds only boredom and tedium. (Fortune must not have given him a nod for he ran off saying “Oh my God!”

In comments 205 - 211, Becky McCray read my palm with grace, poise and calm. She found details in the lines and revealed the secrets of time. She also left a last card for the crew, read it to hear the fortune for all of you.

1-800 HART made sure that we understand the tarot death card. People misunderstand it, when it comes up and take its appearance hard. He also brought a card trick — many like this are about. If you think on it you can figure it out


Joe was looking for a card trick we shared some time back, but it apparently has been by two kids in the rack. He left on a his poetic note. It’s fun to know we’ll soon have a whole book of modern day Berma Shave poems that Joe wrote.

Char wondered aloud about her future potential breaking out. Liz started asking what Char wanted her future to be about. Liz finally realize that there was a confusion. Liz had been talking reality and Char had been playing along with the crystal ball illusion.

Sheila Scarborough came filled with accomplishment of having finally cleared a garage for the cars. So she had time to spend charting a future in the stars.

Service Untitled - Douglas popped in and out in his usual MO. I think he was taking notes on how all of our futures were set to go.

Sean alluded to being rich from a major deal with paypal. Could he have some traits in common with Chicago Al?

Rick Cockrum knows where to go for the latest in future information. I wonder whether he’s up for a giving a presentation.

Renée seemed quite pleased with her future predictions. She’s bringing them home to Tall, (soon to be ) dark, and handsome.

Carolyn Manning isn’t afraid of ghosts or philosophy. Her handwriting reader told her things. “No one would know unless he grew up with me.”

Chris Cree doesn’t want to know his future, but then he made his future to be saying that he didn’t want to know his future.

Sasha Manuel doesn’t find it hard to tell a future with an ordinary deck of playing cards.

Ben Yoskovitz has so much going on these days. You can bet that his future will be about change.

Marti believes in ghosts and so do many. Her new book about the paranormal is better than any.

Trisha is read to start a new future with good things going on, especially no pain. But mostly she wants to be happy.

I’m with her on that. Happy is a good thing to be.

    Nothing like a little self-fulfilling prophecy, eh? Maybe I should become a fortune teller. :lol:

    That chat was SO much fun! (But then, your crystal ball told you it would be, didn’t it? LOL)

    Thank you for bringing together such a delightful crowd!

    Hey Liz,

    Ain’t it the way things happen. I deleted the url only 2 days before I needed it. :-(

    Oh well. If I knew the future, I would have saved it huh?

    Liz ~ I’m so sorry I missed open mic night AGAIN! Actually I didn’t miss it, I WAS here, had a nice message typed up and ready to post. One of my kids started asking those questions like “why is the sky blue” and instead of posting, I clicked BACK and poof, it was gone.

    It had been ONE of those days, complete with that same child locking us out of our car AT the grocery store with a cart full of food/ice cream and milk -

    The bright side is, he did live to tell about it :) And I’m not in jail without internet access.

    It is another day and hopefully I’ll be here next week.

    I was SO looking forward to your topic too. I live very near a large spiritualist camp - so I can’t help but love the topic.

    I made my way here by way of Char. She’s great at spreading the word on Open Mic Night :)

    Yes, it was quite an evening and I’m looking forward to the next one (and hoping Gayla will make it, too!!)

    I see you’ve come down with the verse virus, too, Liz. Cool!

    Poor Gayla. We must be genetically programmed to love our children or half of them wouldn’t mature to adulthood. Remember them for ammunition when you’re a grandparent. :-)

    Hi Rick,
    I read verse virus and immediately wanted to say visa versa verse virus. :)

    Gayla’s Gala should be the theme next week. :)

  13. November 30th, 2006 at 3:17 pm
    Rick Cockrum said

    So could we say the vice versa verse virus versifies vices in reverse? (I should hang my head in shame.)

  14. November 30th, 2006 at 3:19 pm
    ME Strauss said

    We could say that, but it would be hard to do. :)

    Gayla,
    No worries, There’s nothing mandatory around here. We’ll still be around for you if you don’t make it. :)

    Oh I know :D I do have my heart set on participating though. Not being here is as much a disappointment to me as say ummm missing the big sale on Oreo’s :)

    Thanks for the link, Liz! I always love going to Open Mic nights. I hope to catch the next one — perhaps next week? :)

    Hi Sasha!
    It’s always more fun when you’re around. You add twist of that make me smile to think of it. Let me know if you have some ideas about what we should do for a theme! :)
