Stem Cells ..........
unless you or someone you care about could benefit from this most people can't really understand the importance....
I was born with diabetes...as a result I have a host of health problems, and potential problems, to deal with.... about two years ago I went blind in my left eye due to a retinal detachment, after a failed sugery that included a vitrectomy, and reattachment of my left retina with a scleral buckle, I am completely blind in my left eye with no hope of recovery, the eye has a cataract over the pupil and is slightly shrunken, thankfully not to the point that anyone actually notices it unless I mention being blind and point it out to them. I also have to contend with possible kidney failure in the near future, a shorter life span,the possiblity of having limbs amputated later in life, and the possibility that I can't have children because pregnancy/labor could kill me. I'm all for stem cell research. People don't understand how uimportant it is because they look at me and think I look like a perfectly healthy, beautiful young woman...and they think diabetics are old and/or fat, missing toes, and looking sick....but I'm as sick on the inside as an 80 year old grandmother.
Stem cell research could do a lot for a lot of people.

The Sag was driven by typical female hormones, emotions, etc. She just had no clue on what it all meant.
That's all I'm saying.
he's my friends brother we met memorial wknd while we were camping and we made out one nite then i left the nxt morning...2 weeks later we hung out n we kinda just started hitting it off...our kissing chemistry is amazing i can honestly say i've NEVER enjoyed kissing someone soo much...he's adorable he takes a while to get close but then he's so comfortable i love it...we spent all wknd together and then he didnt want me to leave it surprised me ...he said 'dont go..stay' i was kinda shocked...we've slept together 4xs but never DID IT...we only make out...anyways after we parted sunday nite he txt me that he already missed kikn it w/me and he's coming out here where i live friday...we live 2 hours away from eachother...do caps rarely display that emotion unless they realllly mean it..
SR: what is that drivel about female hormones? i think you will find most women would be guilty of that charge don't you think????
you might want to rethink your sexuality.

oh ya..im 24
MsPisces: then i apologise unreservedly. i think it is definitely possible to break through that barrier and come out with a good solid friendship. you just have to state the boundaries, as you have 
"you might want to rethink your sexuality."
Now why would I want to do that?

the thing i find about sag's is that they always want to talk about their issues at great length but they aren't so open to listening much. they become obsessive about trivia, even more so than a scorpio and they can make themselves ill with such obsessions. they don't seem very well equipped to rationalise situations and stand back to get a different perspective, they prefer to cling to things that are lost with all their might because their emotions are in the driving seat. however, they don't seem able to express their emotions and sometimes, they get eaten up by things inside to such a degree that when it all comes to the surface, they can appear quite unhinged and a little bit psychotic and you are left wondering where it all came from.
i've also found them to turn quite nasty for no apparent reason too. probably a defence mechanism.
i'm talking more about sag/scorp friendships rather than romantic partnerships though.

depth_scorp the two of you aren't as different as you might think. You're almost like the same person, based on those charts.
He's on the sag/scorp cusp...and so are you. I'm guessing you're born in the same year or maybe a year apart. Either way, looks like you're the older one.
His intensity is the scorp side of him...nothing surprising there.
Your caution is caused by that virgo moon...and it's probably cuz with his gemini moon, his emotions are a bit difficult to trust.
And so on and so forth....give it a go. If nothing else, you'll be great friends.
