And I'm sure things were frequently much harder than they're made out to be. <br /><br />We've enjoyed "Lark Rise To Candleford" too; the series focuses more on hamlet and village life and people, less on lords and ladies. Also more idyllic than the books the series is based on, or so I've read.<br /><br />We tried watching "The House of Elliott" but couldn't relate to either of the two main characters and so had a hard time genuinely caring about them.LBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-2224714924911765962015-08-01T17:41:36.029-05:002015-08-01T17:41:36.029-05:00Bob ~ American Graffiti?

I'd bet you're not arrogant!<br /><br />I won't watch "Downton Abbey" - sworn off it for life, on principle! Too much emphasis on the upper claaarrses. :-) "The Duchess of Duke Street" has upper claarrs characters too, but the main character (based on a real life character) and backbone of many of its story lines, is from working class roots, and manages to bridge the gap between the two very different worlds as they were then. I bought the first series on VHS in a junk store very cheaply, then got the 2nd series on DVD via E-bay. We have 3 episodes left to watch - I'll be really sorry to have it end. It's one series I could just go straight back and watch all again! I hope you and Mr LB enjoy it - I think you will, once your ears are attuned to some of the accents.<br /><br />By the way, the creator of "Downton Abbey" has a fairly minor part in "Duchess of D.St.", Julian Fellowes I think his name is (now a Lord too I think). <br /><br /> Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-18564010252966058782015-08-01T17:29:49.334-05:002015-08-01T17:29:49.334-05:00Not "Downton Abbey" but still good.

Twilight cut it short, because she's a prude (LOL, Twilight, your words!). There is a sex scene in episode one that Twilight didn't like. The first two episodes are a bit weird and it takes some getting used to bouncing between the eight sensates. One sensate is a male-to-female, and has a lesbian relationship, another sensate is gay...the other six sensates are heterosexual. I found the "Sense8" series to be excellent, but each to their own.mike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-28268278660966678372015-08-01T12:16:17.408-05:002015-08-01T12:16:17.408-05:00thanks Mike- again-- beyond my knowledge..

My only comment would be that it's best not to concentrate too much on stuff such as that square alignment now - but wait until well after it has passed, then look back to the dates on which it occurred and see whether anything out of the ordinary happened then. I find that is the preferable way to use astrology - otherwise you can find yourself worrying or anticipating stuff that never happens at all - astrology isn't 100% reliable all the time, at least using any interpretations we're able to detect....nowhere near!Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-79910240093509274832015-08-01T12:05:49.025-05:002015-08-01T12:05:49.025-05:00mike ~ That sounds like a very decent starry &qu...mike ~ That sounds like a very decent starry "influence" to have natally! :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-49582106774640421682015-08-01T11:44:10.341-05:002015-08-01T11:44:10.341-05:00Sonny - You need to look at your natal chart and d...Sonny - You need to look at your natal chart and determine where the transiting Jupiter-Saturn action is occurring by HOUSE.

Saturn is stationary now as it prepares to turn direct after a period in retrograde motion that began in March. This begins the challenging square between Jupiter and Saturn that will be in effect between now and June of 2016. I will be writing more about this cycle but you can expect to see a contraction in the global economy as Saturn creates additional restrictions while Jupiter attempts to continue expansion. There is a “double whammy” in effect right now since Saturn is in Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, and squaring Jupiter – a double down of Saturn’s contraction pitted against Jupiter’s natural urge to expand.<br />****************<br /><br /> how can I find out what the above means for Me-- umm, my chart I mean.<br /><br />thanks in advance.Sonny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926830309207639536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-41812140158365494142015-08-01T08:53:24.630-05:002015-08-01T08:53:24.630-05:00Anon/kidd ~ LOL!
