So - if I post here my menopausal roller coaster mood swings will disappear? That's what I am to understand? Of course this post would be made on a day that I am feeling happy.

Sounds like your karma of late has been of the particularly painful type. You might try the Alieve karma, it alieviates painful karma, truly it does. Hope you feel better.

Stella ~ I've had good luck waiting tables in the past for cash. Backwoods bars tend to pay under the table. Good luck.

Okay, I've been having bad relationship (read no relationship) karma this lifetime. Any ideas how to turn that around? Besides sitting in bars?

And best of all, like Arthur Anderson, they can be 'influenced'.

Unfortunately, I can't afford their services.

The Karmic Pendulum swings both ways my friends.

My wife and I moved into a house on Cape Cod with the agreement that we would fix it up for the owners. (In this way they would not have to have it removed.) We moved in towards the begining of August and paid no rent. We worked our young asses off. We jacked up the house and leveled it while fixing the Field Stone Foundation.

We gutted that house and rebuilt it. We froze our asses of in late October as we replaced the Windows. (Completely tore out the frames and rebuilt them before making by hand the new windows with authentic old style glass.) We re-did the wiring and brought it up to code. We painted and we built all winter and into the summer. It took us a year but at the end of it the house was featured in a local magazine. (The Home owners who lived near Boston paid for the supplies, we did the work and lived there for free.)

In the beginning of July we were served with a notice of intent to evict. They were now charging us with not paying rent for the past year. They were claiming we owed them for the past ten months, at $2K a month for their nice house. (Even though we had a valid lease explaining the terms of our living there.)

My wife and I being foolish decided not to fight the eviction process and moved out. We were so disgusted by this we moved to Florida. We lived in a tent for several months as we fought to find both housing and jobs.

About the time we found jobs and lodging the owners of the house suffered a disaster. Their house which they were trying to sell for a little over 2 Million burned down. The owners initially tried to blame my wife and myself but we were able to show proof we were in Florida and not in New England. (The investigation showed that the house had burned because the owners had lit a candle and forgot to put it out one night.)

Recently my wife and I finally were able to buy our own place. Soon after that I found out the owners of the old place in New England had been fighting with the town so they could rebuild, but had been denied their permits because of the nearby wetlands. Now they are stuck with a small piece of property they can't sell or build on, but still have to pay high taxes on.

Karma swings both ways. We were screwed out of a truly nice place, but finally found our own place. They screwed us out of that place, and now have nothing to show for it but high tax bills.

I don't know if I'd call this Instant Karma, but it's of the same ilk:

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin killed

Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, Australian media said. He was 44.

Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state when the accident occurred, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said Irwin was diving near Low Isles near the resort town of Port Douglas, about 1,260 miles north of Brisbane.

A helicopter carrying paramedics flew to the island, but he died from a stingray barb to the heart, ABC reported on its Web site.

Telephone calls to Australia Zoo, Irwin's zoo in southern Queensland, were not immediately answered.

Irwin is famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry "Crikey!" in his television program "Crocodile Hunter," which was first broadcast in Australia in 1992 and has aired around the world on the Discovery channel.

He rode his image into a feature film, and developed the Australia Zoo as a tourist attraction.

Irwin had received some negative publicity in recent years. In January 2004, he stunned onlookers at his Australia Zoo reptile park by carrying his 1-year-old son into a crocodile pen during a wildlife show. He tucked the infant under one arm while tossing the 13-foot reptile a piece of meat with the other.

Authorities declined to charge Irwin for violating safety regulations.

Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. Irwin denied any wrongdoing, and an Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken against him.

So far I can beat all of them except the one about Steve Irwin.

In Massachusetts there was a young woman being raised by two very straightlaced parents. (Both High School Teachers.) She was raised to be obediant, pious in their way and above alla shamed about herself and her body. She was never allowed to have friends they didn't personally approve of, nor was she allowed to learn to ride a bike or drive as that would have given her both self asteem and a way of being out from under their controll.

This young woman was sent to school to study Early Childhood Education with the intent of becoming a Nanny for some rather well to do Boston Family. In this way she could earn a living, much of which would then be sent to her family for their use.

At this time she was not just allowed to date, but was commanded to date. Unfortunately she was only allowed to see young men her parents had chosen for her. Young men of powerful families and impeccable upbringing. What some of them did to her was not believed by her parents and she was punished for lying about it.

Then Karma stepped in. She met a slightly older man in school. One who was the exact opposite of what her parents approved of. He was Blue Collar, he never asked for anything he didn't earn, and he didn't kiss their asses. They forbade her from seeing him, she rebelled.

For several years these two dated and for three years her parents objected. The unthinkable happened, the Pampered Princess and the Long Haired, Bearded Madman fell in love. They were married over the very vocal complaints of her parents. (Yes her brother tried in his own way to stop the marriage, and regretted it very quickly.)

Karma was served, her parents learned that their daughter was a person, one who had feelings and ideas of her own.

Oh that couple? That was my wife and myself and we've been married now for 14 years, much to her families disgust.
