The Scariest Haunted House Ever?

How many times do we hear that there is a haunted house that is so scary that no one has ever completed their visit of it. Where is this house? According to Snopes, this extremely haunted house is everywhere ... and nowhere.

The upshot is that there are some houses that are reputed to be very scary, like one in Austin Texas, but haunted houses that go to the extreme have also been cited in Ohio, Kentucky, Detroit - take your pick. But none seem to be unconquerable - that is, if you decide to go through the entire house, it is possible. Just pack your nerves of steel!

Lucky Numbers for the week of October 30, 2009

Lottery ads tell us you only need a dollar and a dream. But I think it is also helpful to have a list of lucky numbers to help spur the good fortune ... or fortunes.

So with that in mind, I decided that we could use some lucky numbers that can be used in any helpful way. I gazed into a pool of water, Nostradamus-like, and contemplated the cosmos. Then I mixed the tarot cards and allowed the spirits to guide me to the cards that represent the lucky numbers for this week. Nothing is guaranteed but who knows ....?

I choose eight numbers because 8 is the number of wealth.

Here are the lucky numbers for the week of October 30-November 5, 2009:

10, 12, 16, 23, 39, 44, 47, 78

There are many ways to delve into your own consciousness to find luck and intuition. Try reading Dream Power/Improve Your Luck (Super Strength Series) and see if your dreams give you any clues and premonitions.

Halloween Best Seller Books - A Suggested Reading List

Just saw this in USA Today and could not resist posting it.  USA Today says that there are some excellent books available, just in time for Halloween that can give an otherworldly being some good advice. Evidently, humans aren't the only creatures who need self-help advice. The following books give zombies, vampires and werewolves – and the people who love them – the edge in romance, business and everyday life.

• The New Vampire's Handbook: A Guide for the Recently Turned Creature of the Night edited by The Vampire Miles Proctor. Suggests "Avoid feeding from drug addicts, alcoholics and paint huffers. The presence of contaminants diminishes their blood vitality."

• Z.E.O.: How to Get A(Head) in Business by Scott Kenemore says "A zombie never needed a 'motivational speech' or 'incentive structure' to get off its duff and try to eat somebody's brain."

• The Vampire Is Just Not That Into You by Vlad Mezrich (asks the question, "Does he seem reluctant to have you undead ever after with him?" Maybe you should pass on the garlic pizzas....

• The Werewolf's Guide to Life: A Manual for the Newly Bitten by Ritch Duncan and Bob Powers says "Few places (are) as ideal to change into a werewolf as a bomb shelter. Bomb shelters are underground, ensuring that no one will hear your howling and growling."

• Vampire Seduction Handbook: Have the Most Thrilling Love of Your Life by Luc Richard Ballion with Scott Bowen advises that "If a vampire really likes you, he is most certainly going to drink your blood. By the same token, he's not going to drain you completely."

Horoscope for month of November 2009 and week of Nov 2, 2009

Now is the time for change, in whatever shape or form. Don’t be a turkey - gobble up the opportunities that will now abound.

Here is my favorite book on astrology and a "must" for anyone interested in learning more: Secrets from a Stargazer's Notebook: Making Astrology Work for You

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Expect the unexpected in any happy jaunt, especially those that take you far afield. Rams feel like globetrotting but may find that they stub their hoof at every opportunity. That is okay, as long as you avoid the deep potholes and bleak alleys. You  find that it brings you in touch with some very interesting folks. How interesting however, is up to you. Uh oh.

TAURUS   (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
The focus is on relationships, Bull. You are full of verve and almost anxious for a deep connection. But the result of any carefree, heart-throbbing encounter cannot be assured to last very long. As November progresses, you might find that all that was, is now spent. Brush it off and try another conquest. Just be sure to pack some common sense this time.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
You love where you work .. at least for now. And maybe that is because work is in turmoil and there is a bit of a revolutionary in you that loves to see the old order upended. Be prepared for anything in your career. And be warned - By the end of the month the skeletons not only emerge from your closet but also dance. See if you can double lock the door before that happens.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
You find love and romance in the strangest places, which means you will have to get out of your shell and make yourself available for viewing.  Eat drink and be very merry. And yet before you know it all those deferred job tasks rear their ugly heads and tie you to the office. Don’t let too many things stagnate. Try not to get bogged down during high party season.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Make your home a love nest and see who flies by and settles in. Lions have more than their fair share of sexual opportunities but will need to be discerning about who they will bring home to meet mother. In a couple of weeks you find that you have so many enticing invitations that your sphere of influence expands and stretches. See if your reach exceeds your grasp.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Virgins might upset their carefully balanced life by taking a foolish risk in an established relationship. What you think will be the end result may not happen at all. Surprises are the only constant now. Improve your chances of success by opening the lines of communication. You don’t have to be honest, just approachable. Then sell ‘em what you can.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Keep your eye on the job with the ultimate goal of saving anything and everything you make. Money makes the world go around for you, especially if you invest or save it. Too soon your usual bad spending habits will win out over your new sensible frugality. But for now, get through the craziness at work by keeping your head down and your pockets full.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Your winning ways get you invitations to the top parties but the social frenzy may wind up being too much, too fast. Even Scorps who tend to have good common sense can over-extend, over-do and over-everything now. Of course someone might say that this is all prep work for the holidays. If so, pace yourself so you can go the distance by New Years.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
There is someone working behind the scenes who is trying to help you. Try not to thwart their efforts by dredging up the past and eyeing impossible projects and goals. Archers can enjoy November if they allow themselves a little down time and a redirection of their attention to domestic tasks. But don’t worry – that does not necessarily mean doing laundry.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Consider friendships to be just another political situation to be navigated this November. Friends want to honest truth .. or do they? Something that you say, in all honesty, may not be what they want or need to hear. Make a sharp appraisal of any platonic situation and see if sugar will work better than salt. I’m sure that you would want the same, should the situation be reversed.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Even if you think everything is A-okay at work, you could face  a surprising upheaval now. Will your political fortunes change dramatically? Possibly. Will you be able to benefit for any major changes? Perhaps in time. For now, spread your charm as thick as possible and massage the power elite carefully. Who knows? Your next office could even have a door and walls.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Self promotion is sometimes difficult for you. November insures that you garner some attention for yourself in extreme ways. Can you control your message? Pisces now make their entrance onto center stage in a range of disguises. Who do you want to be? Whoever you are, it will be a splashy surprise that  makes headlines. So avoid cellophane pants just in case.
