Seeking contribution from resident qualified numerologists, acupuncture practioners, and horticulturists: please select one option from the following:
Seven
Orange
Tarantula
Aquarius
*Please list your qualifications

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Aquarius.

*Have listened to the Hair soundtrack, which taught me that when the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets, and love will steer the stars. Which sounds sorta nice.

Thank you ๐Ÿ™

Oranges. Degree in horticulture.

(Did you mean horologist or are you seeking plant advice?)

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I am seeking advice from a horticulturist, though it does not concern plants

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Tarantula.

I like spiders and think they're neat!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Thank you ๐Ÿ™ follow up question: how many tarantulas would you own if you could

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I would own just one. I think I would like to spend all my attention on just a single one. Maybe a cool rose one

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Correct answer was seven

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Seven and oranges.

Symbolic and tasty if sweet.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Seven

My friend told me yesterday that seven is the best number, and I should hold that as a fact, not opinion.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I like your style. Thank you ๐Ÿ™

How dare you question me! As I am a merciful witch, I will not strike you down with boils upon your hinder parts, but will instead inflict the horrors of choice upon you and you alone. And the subsequent consequences .... all choices come with consequences. Or you could just count them out - yan, tan, tethera, pethera, pimp, sethera, lethera, hovera, covera, dik, yan-a-dik, tan-a dik, tethera-dik, pethera-dik, bumfit, yan-a-bumfit, tan-a-bumfit, tethera-bumfit, pethera-bumfit, jiggit. Depending of course on how many sheep you have.

I didn't make that up. And some of the regional variations are far worse to modern ears. It's the old celtic numerals - after a millennium or so of speaking english instead,, and a traditional counting out "rhyme". If you are counting real live sheep, you count each one and at the end of the series tie a knot in a piece of string. The number of knots at the end give you the number of sheep in multiples of 20. This is how you count sheep to fall asleep - recite the list in your head. Over and over.

Look up scots (NOT gaelic), lotta these words survive

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I have zero sheep if that helps, but I do enjoy lamb on occasion

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Seven

I have at least that many toes

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Thank you ๐Ÿ™

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Orange.

I have grown citrus trees and read books. ๐Ÿ‘

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago
[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Orange trees are beautiful to grow, they have a lovely shape, the leaves are dark and glossy, the flowers are pretty and perfume the whole back yard, the oranges look great on the tree and are delicious to eat. Can recommend. ๐Ÿ‘

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Oranges go bananas down here. We have so many on our dwarf plant it's ridiculous

There are several plants in my garden that I have managed not to kill (and many spiders)
