I subscribe

Years ago, at the beginning of internet time, (or at least my internet time) I subscribed to a daily horoscope feed. It was so long ago that I cannot recall the password I used to sign in. That being said, I cannot sign into it to stop it from coming to my email box daily. My horoscope and I have been through many things: They had a near demise, That was when a went a lot of intermittent days of not seeing a daily email. They restructured and it has been as regular as clockwork since. My near demise, although they still remained true to me. A move, although I find it amazing that moving does not really matter to the internet as long as there is a Comcast or Starbucks near by. Many life changes my horoscope and I have endured. Daily I get the "Gretchen, (it always uses my name...how does it know), today you will..." or "today does not have the best _____ for you Gretchen." Freaky, right? And even more freaky... it's pretty dang close to right. It predicted both buying and selling my house. It predicted ups and downs in relationships (duh that's a given). It predicted communication issues at work and the time being ripe to find a new job... how did I get that predictable. A few weeks ago, probably months the way my time works, it predicted I would come in to some extra money, or a raise in pay... sure enough late that afternoon my boss walks into my office to tell me I had been given a small bonus... hey money is money I am NOT complaining! So imagine my surprise when I read today's tome. It said, "This is a good time to make use of any writing talent, as ideas could be coming to you thick and fast. " Yeah, it really said that! And after yesterday's toe dip back into the blogosphere. It also had some hocus pocus about needing to get paperwork regarding money done... does that mean it's time to pay the AmEx bill? OK... how does it do that? Is it reading my email? Or am I just that predictable? I really need to make a password list!
