This morning, Vidroid was on my computer, the soldier in the same room on a laptop - I’d been cleaning up the kitchen from last night’s dinner during a low ebb of my cold. The living room is a mess courtesy the sleepover with the Aquarian so I came in to be a Mom.

“Vid, you have to get off the computer and have some breakfast. I also want you to clean up the mess in the living room because it’s all yours. Clean if before you go over to Aquarian’s or he comes over here and for sure before you leave for the weekend.”

“But I can’t find the mess,” he said simply.

I glanced at the soldier, who had his eyebrows raised behind Vid’s back, mouth open guffawing silently. I rolled my eyes.

“Well I’ll be able to help you with that. Yeah, I will be happy to help you, let’s go.”

So here is my other love tip from Taurus, this one I got off, Vidroid.

Vid’s best friend is an Aquarian boy who dumps him every 8-10 days. The boys were in the same class and spent the afternoon and early evenings at one house or the other at least 5 times a week but then every once in awhile, Vid would go to school and find his friend no longer interested.

The rejection would be hard and fast and always, always unexpected. The kid would tell him, “I don’t like you anymore,” and then turn and take off to ignore him and play with other kids.  Vid would be devastated. This happened 3 or 4 times. Each time the ignoring would go on for 3 or 4 days and Mom started to get pissed off.

The soldier last night at dinner:

“Dear Lord, please help us not eat so much, amen.”

(He’s got Jupiter in Sagittarius)

This is strange love but it’s very smart. I am posting this because I am inundated right now with people who are trying to make their relationships work and last (at long last). I figure someone can use these tips… this one and the other one I have on my mind for tomorrow. I got these tips from Venus-ruled Taureans who by all rights ought to know something about love.

A couple days ago the soldier told me something like this… “I really love living with you.”

I turned around and looked at him quizzically because it’s not how he talks.  “What?” I asked.  “You love what?”

“I love living here with you, Elsa.”

I stared at him just completely flummoxed.   ”I don’t understand. Why do you..? That doesn’t sound like you.”

I went out in the backyard and saw the soldier standing next to his giant, earthquake-proof, indestructible saw horse.

“Jeez, now that is something,” I said.

“Yeah,” he said, pointing out the various attributes of the thing. “Be even stronger once I get the strips on the legs.  You can store wood down here,” he said pointing towards the bottom. “I’ll have my workbench and if you have to climb up and paint something,” he said pointing to the rafters of the house, “you’ll be able to.”

“The ice cream trucks comes ’round work, P. The ice cream truck,’ he says again with great reverence. “Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, it’s the ice cream truck!”

“Yum.”

“Yeah, I wish I was skinny. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, I always loved the ice cream truck. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE! Cream!  IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE Cream!  And we’d run out and get some.”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah, but now I’m a fat fucker so I just have to sit there, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.  Truck sits right in the parking lot - There is a warehouse door and it’s open - Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, DING!”

“It’s a pity,” I said. “I think you should go out there and eat the whole truck.”

“That’s exactly what I’d do if I wasn’t so fat. Ding, ding, ding, ding, damned that ice cream truck. Damn that damn truck full of ice cream.”

I didn’t say anything because he looked authentically distressed as if he has uncovered a problem at his new job.

Guess where Vidroid is right now?

Yep. He’s a Belle’s house, how about that?

Both my Taurus are with the women they love after a year of patience and deprivation.

Any other Bulls seeing improvement post their (birthday) solar return?

“You’re slimmin’ right down,” I told the soldier. “Look at you.”

“Yeah, right. Slimmin’ down. That’s why China called. Hey can you reduce your portions some so some of our people can have something to eat?”

I roared.

“Europe called too. Hey can you do something about that belly? You’re blocking the sun over here. You’re messing up our sciencitists. They thought there was an ecclipse!”

More laughing.

“And how come when I wear red, all the kids yell KOOOOL-AID, huh?”

Taurus holding on to stuff, it never ceases to amaze me. Today the soldier needed a tablet, he can’t believe I live without them and he comes up with a yellow legal pad and get this:

It has notes to (and from) his ex-wife from 20 years ago.

“I’ll do the dishes tomorrow… too tired from study,” the pad says in his hand from 2 decades past.

Can you believe this?

And there is a song he wrote, he says he woke up after a dream with the lyrics in his head. He surprised himself by picking up his guitar and playing the damned thing but boy is P unnerved. What the hell?

Do you keep things?

One more on Taurean self esteem, the soldier and my son. Vidroid had their birthdays last week so there has been cake and cupcakes around.

“Who got that last chocolate cupcake?” I asked the soldier. “You or him?”

“Him. I walked and he was shoving it down. You eating that I asked. Yeah, I deserve this he said.”

I just smirked.
