Electronics getting fried left and right - is this happening to anyone else?
I've had half a dozen different electronic devices fail on me in the last 48 hours.

Is this going in with anyone else?

I'm down to my phone!

Solar flares? Just terrible random luck? Any other ideas?

Mercury is retrograde starting today through November 10th..

Classic mercury retrograde electronics messing up...doubly so if you have strong Virgo or Gemini.

[link to www.carolbarbeau.com]

snip
What you often read about during Mercury retrograde is the negatives. Electronics break down (so we can figure new ways to do it) Computer miss function (to give us time to think without so much input?) accidents (to slow us down), miscommunication (so we will listen more carefully) and since Mercury often represents in mythology the Trickster, expect what you did not think to happen to happen. AND that can be a good thing. So think outside the box, slow down, and recommunicate if you are not sure of what you are hearing or feeling. During this time questions are good as they will give you more information which is probably much right now.

In cases of astrology is bullshit to you...feel free to ignore.

6 years ago I would scoff at you, but I've had a slowly increasing number of paranormal type experiences since then and can't deny that there's something more than nuts and bolts to our reality anymore. I don't blame skeptics, I was one too, but for me to believe otherwise at this point would be sticking my head in the sand.

Don't know much at all about astrology, so thanks for the details. Thx for any feedback from any of you for that matter.

Re: Electronics getting fried left and right - is this happening to anyone else?
I posted this true story about my wife and I driving from CA to PA in another thread, but it seems appropriate here. Skip to the 3rd paragraph if you just want to read about weird electronics malfunctions.


The first weird thing that happened was in Williams, AZ on Thanksgiving Day. We pulled into our hotel parking lot, grabbed some dinner, and when we came back to the car, the entire rear window was shattered. At first we suspected an attempted break-in, but local police told us it was common for the rapid temperature change to cause windows to shatter. I-40 apparently rises several thousand feet in elevation right as you're driving into Williams. The next day, after a very cold drive to the Grand Canyon and a quick visit to Safelite in Flagstaff, we were off to our next stop: Tulsa, OK.

Coincidentally, a friend of mine --we'll call him J-- lived just blocks from the interstate we were taking all the way from OK City to Indianapolis (I-44/70). Also coincidentally, his house was EXACTLY halfway between our old place in L.A. and our new place in Philly. He graciously offered to put us up for a night, so we arrived, hung out with him, and went to sleep that second night of our journey.

Early the next morning, my wife got a call from her boss asking for her to send an important file that only she had on her computer. It was needed by some high profile client. No problem. She logged on to our host's wi-fi, and seconds later, her laptop battery goes from FULL to EMPTY, and mysteriously shuts off. It must have been zapped somewhere along the way. We went to plug in the AC adapter, but...it's not in its usual pouch. We couldn't find it anywhere. So we followed J to a Mac store at a nearby mall to buy a new AC adapter. My wife bought the adapter, plugged in right there in the mall and started uploading the file via the mall's wi-fi. Of course the mall's wi-fi was stupid slow and it was taking too long so we went to a nearby Starbucks since their wi-fi is usually tolerable. When I started her car, though, it BARELY wanted to turn over. It sounded like the car battery.

We got to Starbucks, got the file uploaded and since we were behind schedule, we said goodbye to J and hopped back in my wife's car. But now...her car battery is DEAD.

So we got a jump and drove my wife's car back to J's garage. He had a little pickup truck he kept in the garage, but he moved it to make room for my wife's car. Then J drove us to the closest AutoZone to get a new battery. When I stepped out of J's car...and I mean the exact moment I set foot out of his car, I heard this loud BOOM. It sounded close, but up high in the air. NO JOKE, when we walked into the AutoZone, the employees told us, "Dude, we just lost power. Our registers are down and we can't sell you anything."

That BOOM had been a transformer exploding, rendering this strip mall without power!!!

So finally we drove to another auto parts store even farther away, got a new battery, went back to J's place and swapped it out for the old one, and then said another round of goodbyes and took off.

Moments after we got onto the freeway, we got a call on my cell. It's J. "Man, you'll never guess what just happened," he said. "I went to put my truck back in the garage...but the battery is DEAD."

He wound up going back to that same store to get another battery for his truck. My wife and I only stopped for gas and potty breaks after that and drove straight from Tulsa to Philly in about 20 hours. Her computer battery, her car battery, the store's power, and J's truck's battery...all in one day. Tell me that's not weird.

Watch it! When you are a TI it is common to suddenly experience an uptick in coincidence, synchronicity and paranormal stuff, or SO IT SEEMS. This is how they mess with and manipulate people. Actually there is a far lower incidence of these phenomena than people imagine, and what only SEEMS like this shit going on is usually other people surreptitiously creating the illusion of coincidences and synchronicity. It is a powerful way to manipulate people. Many chumps are being manipulated by new age sharks in this way. They will get you into costly workshops or colleges to study pure bullshit. Such as Naropa University in Boulder.

Have the electric Company check the voltage coming into your house. If it is fluctuating or too high it will blow all your appliances. The transformer may have blown.
