Speaking of closed doors … I’ve been applying to jobs nonstop for months now and can’t get anything… I finally gave-up and applied to be a part-time dog-walker/pet-sitter. In the words of Gemma- “Stuff-it!”
I've been walking dogs for the past 3 years for a doggie day care, I love the job but the money isn't great so I've been thinking about going back to my old line of work which is corporate finance & then in the past couple of days I've been offered private dog walking & boarding so I'm strongly thinking of going out on my own & my signs were both new customers' dogs made me laugh while out walking in the beautiful woods with the sun shining & I thought this is the work I love doing, stuff the rat race 😊
Thank you for the supportive words. (Sigh). Must keep focused on the trust that this will all work out eventually…but monkey-mind wants to worry and fret!
🐝 Bee tapping on the window is absolutely a sign for me! A few days ago I was sitting outside feeling morose when I heard this loud "thwop!" and I look over and one of those ginormous bumbles has just bonked into the window next to me. It did it two more times, and then flew straight to my face and right past my ear. For some reason this was so humorous to me that it lifted my heavy mood. You just reminded me of it 🙏✨🐝 And my mom is the same way. The most psychic person I've ever met, but doesn't believe in it 🤷♀️
This reminds me: Back in the '90s, my brother's first wife surprised my parents when they all went out to dinner together and she ordered her steak well done. When the waiter double-checked, she confirmed by answering, "Nuke it." My father was gobsmacked at the time, but he always laughs now when he tells that story.
Thank you, Gemma!! 😊 Hope you have a wonderful day!! My mom, Sis, and I definitely experience what you and your mom do. There’s so many times when I’ve gotten a strong urge to call my mom and she’ll laugh and say, you got my message! 😄 Or there have been times where my sis who lives in another state as do my parents, will be complaining or talking about having stomach issues w/ her husband. Then within a couple minutes I’ll text her a video regarding ways to massage her stomach or what tea she can drink. She always laughs and calls me a witch 🧙 🤣😂 This has happened many times with different things. 🤭😆
Speaking of signs, I think I heard one last night at 2:30 in the morning trying to sleep, and you hear a distant horn rumbling, and then all the birds woke up and none of us could get back to sleep. The strange part is that I talked to the neighbors in the morning, and they were up, and they heard the birds but not the horn. I've had about an hour of sleep, so I decided to go for a long walk.
I can confirm the slang is used often enough her in the states that those are very familiar. Pittsburgh has it's own special slang. Such as Yinz, meaning You all.😅
Eski was always a coolbox as I recall. Somewhere to stow your tinnies or coldies. Thanks for the reading, I'm a Sag and definitely feeling different with the full moon coming up
I love the Ocean Oracle Deck. Could be my Grand Water Trine being invigorated. I especially like the Lighthouse card which is a personal symbol of mine. I find a lot of signs when I go for a walk. In no matter what environment I walk in; urban,suburban or rural I find things that point to a mystery or an answer or a clue about events to come.
When I lived in Colorado united stit's, I was there during a 4th of July when it was sunny and beautiful it then hailed snowed rained and got sunny again I'll pie within 30 minutes time.... This continued for most of that day and this was 4th of July.... I no longer believe that it won't snow in July
I didn't take my sign as well as I perhaps should have. A white moth landed on my back in the night and fluttered onto my leg. I freaked out and wacked it into the wardrobe. Thankfully it was only stunned and I let it out the window before the cat got it. I might be spiritually awakened, but would rather not wake up at 2 am to that again!
I am a homecare therapist and we have google maps I wonder if I can switch it to Australian. That wouid definitely make my drives more interesting!! Thanks for the reading and the slang lesson.
Hi Gemma Yes I can confirm all those Australian sayings. Fair dinkum is not used much these days, but it definitely was in the 80s and 90s (and befor that too)
Also forgot to add last week I had a customer and we have a mutual friend between us. I was joking around about the friend who has a tendency to be like a chicken with its head cut off... The other third person customer laughed and said they have a similar saying in his country he is from South America, and he thought it was so funny that we say the same thing...
I love these cards. I took photo’s of the cards I think on Etsy 🤔 I love the Walrus (blues) but my fave is Manatee -Surrender to Spirit. Buttons, Aussie accents, lorries, ring bells too! 🤭 Have you ever watched Bluey? It’s for ankle biters but I love it. I think you would too 😁 thank you Gemma 💕
I think people normally say “nuke” for the microwave, but now I think of it, it maybe used to be “zap”. We weren’t allowed to used microwaves when I was little, so I thought it made sense to say “zap”, because I imagined it killing off all the nutrients 🤓
♋️🌞🦀👋 corroborating the use of “zap” and “nuke” for microwaving. “Gee whiz” kind of fell out of favor after the 60s but you occassionally hear it dropped as an alternative to swearing.
Whaat Gemma nummerology is the same as tarot numbers 0 = fool, 1 beginning, 2, balance.. 10 endings 🫠. I actually learnt from you!! 1111 = thus beginning /initiation ect. Ect. The lighthouse alelways really draws me in personally, i feel the need to be one 😅
And then there"s some extra"s like 1234 (sounds like on track right) and the mirroring numbers 10:10, 20:02 im not entirely sure.. they"re always contradictionary to me im not sure what to do with those .. 😅 666 = self care 😂 not devil (6 of swords take your boat and go)
I see you're a Rebel since 1977🥳 my handle used to be Goddessof1967 👸 🥰. That's hilarious that you set your sat nav to Aussie, even more hilarious that they have an Aussie option 😆
Hmm. I may have said Gee Whiz in a rare moment in my lifetime. It’s a nerdy expression nowadays, and I never hear it except maybe from some young person who watched old episodes of Leave It To Beaver on Nickelodeon and thought it novel.
Most of the Aussie slang is in fair dinkum use. Never heard of "getting on the frog and toad" though. Careful with your a's, as in "slab." You were sounding a bit NZ there.
The American slang is not very accurate. I think people still say Uncle Sam sometimes, and I guess I might say Gee Whiz, but that’s because I’ve seen a lot of old movies, and it would definitely be odd. The rest I haven’t heard, except “wise in hindsight”, but I think that’s more of a phenomenon than an expression, lol. I love expressions and aphorisms, and this lackluster display makes me want to make my own collection 🤓

Impressed by your mastery of strine!😊😂.. (Strine = Australian slang)... bewdy bonzer mate!! ❤❤😂😂
Love to start my day with Gemma.❤ and coffee!
It is Victoria Day here in Canada.
No camping for me!
Massive picnics in the park near me in Toronto, have a good one!
Yep, “zap” is old American slang for heating up food in a microwave. And I believe a newer or maybe just alternative version is to “nuke” it.
❤ north west England here, a few people I know and myself say "ding" - gonna ding some beans
A ding meal! Yes 👍
@@swoo4914 “Gonna ding some beans”-how great!

Monday morning quarterbacking and Uncle Sam and quite a few Australian ones. Beautiful sunny morning in Florida.
Thank you Gemma, you bring the sunshine!Hope you have a lovely day!😃💖

Enjoying the slang ❤️👈 ...my mama too ☺️ lots of signs lately mostly animals on our early morning walk 🐾🦋🦃🐍🦌🐢
Some South African slang would be next level 😂!! Nice reading, thanks Gemma. I hope your Mum’s okay. 🤗
Lekker idea! We'd be in stitches for sure 🤭
@@QursheedIt would be such a jol, neh? 😂
Outstanding I Am Jaw Droped Like This 😲🙏

looking for snow in july (or in the summer) sounds like a southern-ism for sure! imagine that with a thick, southern drawl 🤠
I'm a feather, butterfly and hummingbird sign person myself. Thank you Gemma!
I saw a hummingbird at Universal studios! Don't have them here!

Gemma, you do a Great Aussie accent! 👍🏻😉👏🤣
Thanks Gemma 😊
Monday's "World Bee Day". How appropriate that you would be visited by one, Gemma.
🐝 ♥️
Morning Gemma, your mum and mine absolute twins and total treasures love your anecdotes!❤❤
Mmmm....'"we are constantly moist with anticipation" caught me off guard, I 🎉paused and turned on the captions, played a second time...😅😅😅
So did I. 😂
I am a homecare therapist and we have google maps I wonder if I can switch it to Australian. That wouid definitely make my drives more interesting!!
Thanks for the reading and the slang lesson.

Hi Gemma
Yes I can confirm all those Australian sayings. Fair dinkum is not used much these days, but it definitely was in the 80s and 90s (and befor that too)
An empty cocktail glass + breakfast...many a Mimosa has accompanied my croissant or scrambled egg, well before lunchtime, while on vacation🍹
Rude not to 🤭🍸
Also forgot to add last week I had a customer and we have a mutual friend between us. I was joking around about the friend who has a tendency to be like a chicken with its head cut off...

Hi G, loved the slang xx
The walrus is Paul…. Maybe as a nod to the Beatles?
I love these cards. I took photo’s of the cards I think on Etsy 🤔 I love the Walrus (blues) but my fave is Manatee -Surrender to Spirit. Buttons, Aussie accents, lorries, ring bells too! 🤭 Have you ever watched Bluey? It’s for ankle biters but I love it. I think you would too 😁 thank you Gemma

My dad would say whoa Nelly, hunky dory and Jim dandy and hubbeda hubbeda when looking for luck and rock star parking 🎉❤
The aussie slang was correct (although not as commonly used these days). I really enjoyed your satnav strine too 😂Thanks Gemma 💖 from 'Straylia xx

Did ya get the hair done. Very nice ta Gemma ❤
Gee Whiz? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 only if you’re older Boomer! (USA) Goes with ‘Leave It to Beaver’ and “Dennis the Menace”
Monday in the US was the 20th??

I know some of those sayings, but I don’t use them. 😂
Truth. Monday Morning Quarterback is a very male phrase and also a very male activity.😉
Chuck a U eeee ❤❤❤😂
