A Harvest Moon appears brighter to the eye than any other full Moon. It's the closest full moon to the autumnal equinox, and a traditional symbol of benevolence and fertility. Farmers finished their work in the fields by the light of this Moon. Its appearance, usually toward the end of September(September 26, 2007), marks the beginning of the end of harvest season and the start of a new life cycle.
The symbolic meanings of the harvest moon have been celebrated throughout the ages and across cultures. Its significance as a harbinger of new beginnings hasn't diminished a bit even if harvest time these days is more a feeling than a literal event for most. Indeed, the crispness of autumn inspires a feeling of change and renewal, and the intense, gold-orange shine of the harvest moon seems to lend energy, strength and vitality to those of us basking in its glow!
What changes in your life will accompany the transition from summer to autumn? Take this advice if you're travelling. Weather has been really bad all over the world so take precaution and go online or check conditions before heading out or making plans. Nowadays its hard to know what dangers can happen. I personally think that the second half of the year will end up better. Things will iron out itself and people will start to make the change towrds the winter and Christmas joy. For the moment though, frolic this fall under the harvest Moon.
Bar advice. Keep that chin up. the year is still not over yet and things will become better soon. Belive it and will be.

New beginings
If anyone didn't know yet, well, it's going to be a full moon on Tuesday the 28th of August. The funny thing is that there will also be a lunar eclipse. Plus there is a strange phenomena about the moon turning red. This is going to be screened on the live stream on the Discovery Channel.
The astrologist have also indicated that Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mars are all coming near or passing by the moon and sun during this period. On August 11th there will then be a solar eclipse. It looks like there's mystical forces that are going to shake things up in all our lives.
I guess it's good to be a little prepared for what could be either the good or bad that may happen in the coming days. Hopefully all turns out fine. Lets pray that there won't be anymore bad weather as well. We can all do with less rain and floods around the world.
Bar advice. There's going to be changes to peoples lives because of this period. make the best of what comes your way.

Stupid People
What can we say. There are some real nut cases out there. Really stupid people. Things they do and ways they get hurt. Some are accidents but a lot are really dumb.
Bar advice. The only advice that I can give people watching this on You Tube is to use that head of yours before doing some of these stupid things.

Being self righteous
It is possible to be just a little self-righteous and therefore not cause much offense to anyone, people who are too self-righteous may:
Be quick to judge others
Belittle those around them
Be smug
Act condescending
Be narrow-minded
Be intolerant of other people’s faults
Believe that they have the answer for everyone else’s problems
And more...
Meanwhile, self righteous people often have a very hard time being empathetic. They only view the world through their own eyes, and cannot even fathom walking in someone else’s shoes. People who are too self righteous are also too sure of their own opinions. They will stick to them at any cost, and often refuse to hear opposing arguments. They will also never change their opinions based on new information they have received. They also hate to take people's advice.
What often drives excess self righteousness is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of losing control, fear of realizing you may have been wrong but if you release this fear to tap into your inner ability to let go of negative emotions, you will find that being more open-minded and less judgmental is actually freeing. The method to just shake off the fear and be at peace may also be helpful to your state and well being. To release the need to always be right can make you experience empathy and welcome the thoughts, ideas and opinions of those around you.
Bar advice. No one in the world is right all the time. You're only losing yourself in a world of denial. Anyway, who wants to be around someone like that. Think about it.

Weird Sex Laws
I was on Digg search engine site to submit something online when this topic came up. The lady that wrote about it got it from this source. Bert Christensen's Truth & Humour Collection. In here was some weird sex laws that he might have come across. I'm not sure why he got them but here are some of what's in it.
*Warn your hubby that after lovemaking in Ames, Iowa, he isn't allowed to take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with you-or holding you in his arms.
*Bozeman, Montana, has a law that bans all sexual activity between members of the opposite sex in the front yard of a home after sundown-if they're nude. (Apparently, if you wear socks, you're safe from the law!)
*In Cleveland, Ohio women are not allowed to wear patent-leather shoes.
*Clinton, Oklahoma has a law against masturbating while watching two people having sex in a car.
*In Kingsville, Texas there is a law against two pigs having sex on the city's airport property.
*In Nevada sex without a condom is considered illegal.
*An excerpt from brilliant Kentucky state legislation. "No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club".
*In Michigan, a woman isn't allowed to cut her own hair without her husband's permission.
*In Oxford, Ohio, it's illegal for a woman to strip off her clothing while standing in front of a man's picture.
*In Ventura County, California cats and dogs are not allowed to have sex without a permit.
*The only acceptable sexual position in Washington D.C. is the missionary-style position. Any other sexual position is considered illegal.
*In Willowdale, Oregon no man may curse while having sex with his wife.
*In the state of Washington there is a law against having sex with a virgin under any circumstances. (Including the wedding night).
Here are some international weird sex laws.
In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death. (Like THAT makes sense.)
In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.
Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers; the sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times.
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands.!! The husband's lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired. (Ah! Justice!)
Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!)
In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the act. (Makes one shudder at the thought.)
In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.(I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?)
Bar advice. These laws, I assume, was formulated by certain "events" that took place and had to be passed. Can you imagine yourself on TV news being brought into jail for any of these.

A girl walks into a bar
A girl walks into a bar and normally the heads of guys turn to see the sway of her walk. The hips, hair, shape, curves and whatever else they imagined for that short seconds it took her to get to a seat.
What were they thinking. Well in their lives they are or aren't in a relationship themselves. Those that approach her are trying their luck. Others just want to see if they still got what it takes even if their married. Some may want to have a "quicky" so they make the attempt as well. Let's just really look at at what a relationship really is. Lot's of people are possibly in one or more of these types of relationships.
Prostitution(pay for sex)
One night stands
Friends with privileges
Dating with casual sex
Lovers only(no commitments)
Arrangements (You take care of me, I'll take care of you)
Multiple Lovers
Swinging
Homosexual
Lesbian
Work/office sex
Affairs(cheating on someone)
Girlfriend/Boyfriend
Living together
Separated
Married
Divorce
Most people think that when they're with someone it's a relationship but the truth is we're all in a relationship with someone. Which category or categories are you in? When you're with someone a relationship is just how you "relate" with that person. Is it casual? Serious? Fooling around? Nothing that will break their heart or be dangerous? Abusive?
A lot of us relate to the word rather than to the true picture of who we relate to in a relationship. All those stated above can still have more added but it already gives you the sense that we may not realize the position we are in and sometimes it's too late. If all is well then you're doing something right but if it's not, what do you do? At times we sabotage what could be good for us.
Bar advice. Most people don't see the problem or cannot relate to people and situations that don't interfere in their lives. Sometimes it's becomes too late.
