Gemstones for Attracting Love

I ran across this interesting article by Samantha Stevens, author of Creating Love and with her permission I have a list here of the types of gemstones that you can wear or carry to attract love.

Sapphire: This stone protects you from forces antithetical to love such as violence and lust. The sapphire can help women select an appropriate husband.

Yellow Topaz: This clear yellow gem is the ‘problem-solving stone’. This stone is also good for those who feel ‘numbed by disappointment’. It allows codependents to release drunken or abusive partners. It can also help obsessive people learn to let go. It helps you recognize your patterns and see the ‘big picture’ in life.

Rose Quartz: This light pink crystal heals the heart and promotes a sense of self-appreciation, and self-love. It also helps you open your heart’s center so that you can give love, unconditionally without any expectation of a reward in return. It improves your mood and enhances feelings of joy.

Diamond: Diamonds have traditionally symbolized the commitment of one human being to another. It helps you perceive beyond surface appearance and understand the truth about another person.

Emerald: This brilliant green stone is used to help you learn lessons, so you don’t repeat mistakes in your love life. Its deep sea green color is reminiscent of the subconscious, so it can assist in the manifestation of appropriate relationships in your life.

Ruby: The blood red light of the ruby helps to dispel feelings of discouragement and self-doubt and infuse your heart, mind and aura with love.

It can help you achieve a vibrant social life and attract the right friends.

Amethyst: This beautiful purple stone that helps you let go of past hurts and relationships. It will help you access the truth that will set you free.

As not everyone can afford rubies, sapphires and diamonds, there are also many semi-precious stones out there that also raise your vibration to attract prosperity.

Agate: strengthens your insight, promotes fidelity

Aquamarine: activates memory of past lives so we don’t repeat mistakes

Carnelian: dispels laziness, rage, jealousy, envy and fear

Another Online Sweet Talker

The Sweet Talker wasn’t the only bad thing that happened to my friend Karin online. In fact it was a party compared to what happened later. This next guy was such a terrible experience it made her think seriously about giving up the online dating idea completely. I even agreed and told her it would be a good idea! Anyway, it was a few months ago. She was all excited one day and sent me a photo of this guy she just hooked up with on the date site, and this one was so AMAZING looking it even made me a little jealous. He was gorgeous, blond and tanned, like a surfer model from another planet, maybe planet HOT. Karin was walking on a cloud right away and it was no use getting her to talk about anything else. No wonder, because everything else about this guy sounded too good to be true.

She told me he was a petroleum engineer, just out of school and working on the oil rigs up in Canada. He told her his father was an oil executive and his mom was a missionary. They talked on the phone about three times a day.

This doesn’t sound like a bad thing, and it wasn’t, not yet at least. It actually made me kind of happy because Karin was so excited and focused. It was like an advertisement for online dating sometimes being like winning a lottery for some people. But I noticed right off that he didn’t seem to be asking many questions about Karin, or her life or anything. Guys can be like that, just thinking about themselves, especially hot guys, but this was strange. Still, she told me I was just paranoid, so that was it — for a week or so.

Suddenly gifts began to arrive at Karin’s place, nice gallant-gentleman gifts like chocolates, roses, big balloons and even a few teddy bears. Now she was talking about going up to Canada and never coming back, starting a family with him. Then she told me he’d called for like the fifth time that day to tell her his mom had been involved in an accident while doing missionary work in Africa and he needed to wire cash right away to make sure she was shipped back home to a hospital here. He asked her to contribute as much as she could and to ask her friends to throw in money to help. Right away after we hung up I went online to a fraud-busters blog and described the situation to people in the chat room. They kind of laughed at me and said that Karin had – almost – been the victim of a notorious online fraudster ring run from somewhere in Africa. The guy’s photo was a fake and the gifts were probably bought on a stolen credit card.

You can imagine how terrible it was to bring this news to Karin, but I did it right away. Nothing special for me or anyone else, I think, because friends have to help friends. She cut the guy off and I hope people reading this will always be careful, EXTRA careful, because who knows what’s out there anymore?

 

I’m Bored….

complaint letter of the year

Below is a copy of a letter that won a competition in UK as complaint letter of the year…have a laugh and read on.

Complaint Letter of the Year. The British do have a way with words…. A real-life customer complaint letter sent to NTL (to their complaints dept….)

Dear Cretins,

I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for your 3-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, and telephone. During this three-month period I have encountered inadequacy of service which I had

not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and stupidity of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific details, so that you can either pursue your professional perogative, and seek to

rectify these difficulties – or more likely (I suspect) so that you can have some entertaining reading material as you while away the working day smoking B&H and drinking vendor-coffee on the bog in your office:

My initial installation was cancelled without warning, resulting in my spending an entire Saturday sitting on my fat arse waiting for your technician to arrive. When he did not arrive, I spent a further 57 minutes listening to your infuriating hold music, and the even more annoying Scottish robot woman telling me to look at your helpful

website….HOW?

I alleviated the boredom by playing with my testicles for a few minutes – an activity at which you are no-doubt both familiar and highly adept. The rescheduled installation then took place some two weeks later, although the technician did forget to bring a number of vital tools – such as a drill-bit, and his cerebrum. Two weeks later, my cable modem had still not arrived. After 15 telephone calls over 4 weeks my modem arrived… six weeks after I had requested it, and begun to pay for it. I estimate your internet server’s downtime is roughly 35%… hours between about 6pm -midnight, Mon-Fri, and most of the weekend. I am still waiting for my telephone connection. I have made 9 calls on my mobile to your no-help line, and have been unhelpfully transferred to a

variety of disinterested individuals, who are it seems also highly skilled bollock jugglers. I have been informed that a telephone line is available (and someone will call me back); that no telephone line is available (and someone will call me back); that I will be transferred to someone who knows whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been cut off); that I will be transferred to someone (and then been redirected to an answer machine informing me that your office is closed); that I will be transferred to someone and then been redirected to the irritating Scottish robot woman…and several other variations on this theme.

Doubtless you are no longer reading this letter, as you have at least a thousand other dissatisfied customers to ignore, and also another one of those crucially important testicle-moments to attend to. Frankly I don’t care, it’s far more satisfying as a customer to voice my frustration’s in print than to shout them at your unending hold music. Forgive me, therefore, if I continue. I thought BT were shit, that they had attained the holy piss-pot of godawful customer relations, that no-one, anywhere, ever, could be more disinterested, less helpful or more obstructive to delivering service to their customers. That’s why I chose NTL, and because, well, there isn’t

anyone else is there? How surprised I therefore was, when I discovered to my considerable dissatisfaction and disappointment what a useless shower of bastards you truly are. You are sputum-filled pieces of distended rectum incompetents of the highest order. British Telecom – wankers though they are – shine like brilliant beacons of success, in the filthy puss-filled mire of your seemingly limitless inadequacy. Suffice to say that I have now given up on my futile and foolhardy quest to receive any kind of service from you. I suggest that

you cease any potential future attempts to extort payment from me for the services which you have so pointedly and catastrophically failed to deliver – any such activity will be greeted initially with hilarity and disbelief quickly be replaced by derision, and even perhaps bemused rage. I enclose two small deposits, selected with great care from my cats litter tray, as an expression of my utter and complete contempt for both you and your pointless company. I sincerely hope that they have not become desiccated during transit – they were satisfyingly moist at the time of posting, and I would feel considerable disappointment if you did not experience both their rich aroma and delicate texture. Consider them the very embodiment of my feelings towards NTL, and its worthless employees.

Have a nice day – may it be the last in you miserable short life, you irritatingly incompetent and infuriatingly unhelpful bunch of twats.

John
