With your chart’s ruler dancing with Venus now, the heart can lead the way to some real breakthroughs that involve your creative projects. Enjoy the fruits of cooperation.Lucky Days: 15-19Lucky Numbers: 33-60

TAURUS: Apr. 21-May 21: Do you feel the pressure lifting? That’s Saturn preparing to slip out of your opposing sign. The forecast: Full speed ahead, later in the month, on the financial goals you set for yourself in March. Keep this aphorism in mind: Contentment is when your earning power equals your yearning power. Lucky Days: 7-22Lucky Numbers: 33-50

GEMINI: May 22-June 21: Your mind goes into hyper drive when your ruler slips into Libra mid-month. Use the first weeks to compile a list of key people you wish to forge alliances with and then, on the New Moon of the 13th set your plans in motion. Call, email, visit – but don’t miss this opportunity to up your luck via your social connections. Lucky Days: 9-17Lucky Numbers: 19-54

CANCER: June 22-July 22: This is an excellent month to take a short journey to free your mind from troubles or pressures. Crabs need to work against their tendency to hang out at home too much. Exploring the unfamiliar, even if it’s just a nearby city, will do much to revitalize your soul and prepare you for the energetic autumn that’s just around the corner. Lucky Days: 3-27Lucky Numbers: 11-65

LEO: July 23-Aug. 23: Christmas in September? You can count on it with the New Moon acting like a money magnet come mid-September. The catch? Clear up past debts or verbal obligations you’ve neglected; remember people never forget a promise. End of the month finds you planning a series of parties on the home front, lavish your guests with your solar brilliance. Lucky Days: 14-28Lucky Numbers: 20-45

VIRGO: Aug. 24-Sept. 23: The New Moon in your sign mid-month prompts you to dump the fuddy-duddy and set your sights on beautifying

your body – how the world views your exquisite presence. This could mean a new diet plan, a fashion makeover or just a distinct change of attitude that ushers in a new you to family and friends. Dazzle ‘em! Lucky Days: 15-21Lucky Numbers: 18-49

LIBRA: Sept. 24-Oct. 23: Secrets, we all have them, but do they empower us or weigh us down? The New Moon on the 13th offers you the opportunity to solve the riddle that author Frank Warren offers: “There are two kinds of secrets. The ones we keep from others and the ones we keep from ourselves.” Don’t let what you hide from yourself complicate your life. Break free. Lucky Days: 4-15Lucky Numbers: 4-49

SCORPIO: Oct. 24-Nov. 22: With Venus in your house of revelation and publicity, you’re ready to shed your shyness and declare to others what you love and value most in life. People need a strong dose of positivity right now, and you’ve got the perfect insights and methods to help others fulfill their wishes too.Lucky Days: 7-27Lucky Numbers 2-54

SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 23-Dec. 21: Here comes Saturn for a long ride through your house of self-expression and personal power? Translated: Although your usual exuberance and optimism might feel disciplined or limited, that’s just the cosmos telling you it’s time to mature and perfect your personal visons. Don’t fight the teacher! Lucky Days: 19-24Lucky Numbers: 18-59

CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20: You’ve been craving momentum and traction for your bigger schemes and plans and September is the month that delivers. You’ll feel as though you’ve just filled your car with rocket fuel. A secret for you from the free-spirited Henry Thoreau: “Chop your own wood and it warms you twice.”Lucky Days: 19-25Lucky Numbers: 8-55

AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 19: You’re contemplating life’s “big questions” now and it’s wise to find something to assist you with your inquiries: A new philosophy, spiritual practice or study that allows your analytical mind to relax and settle into nature’s rhythm and secrets. That’s where you’ll discover what you’re seeking in your heart of hearts. Lucky Days: 13-26Lucky Numbers: 23-38

PISCES: Feb. 20-Mar. 20: The wily philosopher Nietzshe is speaking to you. Pay attention: “When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory.” You should apply this question to everyone in your close circle as your preparing to do some intense housecleaning in October. Lucky Days: 14-20Lucky Numbers: 3-66

Understanding the callerA couple of months ago I went to a Bingo parlor in one of the newer hotels on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Friends had insisted that I go there. It was interesting, because I had one of the best and one of the worst Bingo experiences of my life there. I am not bringing this up to cast shame on the hall, but to show how playing in the same place can lead to very different degrees of fun.First, I need to point out that this hall was beautiful. It had some incredible electronic equipment. I felt a little sorry for the caller. The Bingo balls were in an elaborate set-up where they came up through the chute automatically, were automatically turned around to the camera and displayed. Without the caller doing anything, the number was then put on the tote board.The caller DID call the numbers. At least the caller was doing something. This begs the question: Can Bingo become too automated? Are you playing at a hall where it’s lost the “human touch?” Except for the fact

that I was uneasy with the role the “caller” was playing, I had a great time and found everyone so friendly I wanted to go back.I did go back. This time I did NOT go home smiling. The problem was that the caller on the second day MUMBLED. Callers who cannot be understood have been a problem since the beginning of Bingo, but why at THIS place? Everything else there was nearly perfect. The hall was totally NON-smoking. The employees were wonderful. I was saddened by the bad experience I had the second time. Actually, I wished I had not gone back so my only memories of the place would be good ones.The hall had something else going for it. It was paper-ONLY. I know Bingo management benefits when they use the electronic machines, since people would buy 3,000 cards if they could. There is a limit to how many paper cards you can keep track of.I was amazed that the manager of the hall didn’t realize what a mush-mouth her caller was. The problem was made worse by the fact that I don’t think a single player complained. I didn’t say anything because jobs are scarce and I didn’t want to get the young person fired. But, I violated a rule I have presented here for years: Complain if something is wrong.I guess I have a soft spot in my heart for the hard-working callers and runners. I just wish I could have understood that person better. Darn.I welcome your comments to [email protected]. Tell me about your bad Bingo experiences.Next time around, an interesting idea.

Holiday visitsn Start planning now

It’s not too early to start planning a holiday party for local veterans in hospitals, nursing homes or rehab centers. The first step is to look at your resources. Are you in a veterans service group? Or will you be by yourself?Call the intended location about hosting a holiday party. Inquire about a date in December and its setup. Is there a dining room where you can hold a party? Or will you be going from bed to bed in a ward? How many beds?Decide what you can afford to do. A box of small gifts for each veteran—complete with tissue paper, holiday wrapping paper and a bow—is ideal. If that’s not possible, host a pizza/snack party. Estimate costs now so you’ll be prepared, and start taking cash donations from your group. Get your friends and group members to start collecting shoeboxes, the

ideal container for gifts.Ask medical staff for suggestions for the gift boxes, but consider puzzle books and mechanical pencils, handheld games, military caps or T-shirts (call local recruiters), pens and stationery, thick socks, handkerchiefs, small calendars, phone cards, $5 hospital canteen coupons and small baggies of holiday candies and chocolates.If you’ll have a space for a party, arrange for decorated tables. Ask what the facility can provide to save money. Use a portable CD player with holiday music and have a Christmas carol sing-along. Even better: Invite someone you know who plays an electronic piano. Find a Santa suit and someone to wear it.Enlist helpers from your group of retired military. If you have active military contacts, contact them, too. Remember: The best gift you can give hospitalized veterans is your presence and your ear.

Oysters!Dear Annie,I have an unusual request. I would like to make an oyster appetizer for my husband for our 10th anniversary in October. He loves them and I would like to surprise him. Are they difficult to prepare? Can you please help me?Mary Jane from Charleston

Dear Mary Jane,I have an easy recipe for a splendid oyster appetizer. You can buy the oysters already shucked (oyster removed from the shell) or you can buy the oysters in the shell and shuck them yourself. (You will need to buy a shucking knife and wear a pair of work gloves to protect your hands.) I have prepared them both ways. Oysters Rockefeller are absolutely delicious. They make an excellent appetizer and will impress the utmost of gourmets. Enjoy! —Annie

OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER

1 20 oz. package frozen chopped spinach1/3 cup chopped fresh or dried parsley1 stick melted butter (8 tbps)

1/4 tsp. anise seed1/2 tsp. garlic powder1/4 c. whipping cream1/4 tsp. salt1/2 c. Italian flavored breadcrumbs or Panko crumbs1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese2 doz. medium to large oysters dash of cayenne pepper

Prepare the spinach according to the directions on the package. Drain well. In a food blender or processor combine the cooked and drained spinach, parsley, 4 tablespoons melted butter, anise seed, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, whipping cream and salt. Blend well, scraping all sides of the container. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter and breadcrumbs. Add the spinach mixture and mix well.Pry the oyster shell open with the oyster shucker knife.* Loosen the oysters from the shell, carefully removing any loose shell pieces. Discard the empty shell half. Rinse the oyster and shell with water. Spoon the spinach mixture on top of each oyster. Sprinkle with the grated cheese. Refrigerate at this point. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400° and bake for 15 minute. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

*Note: If using shucked oysters, bake on a foil pan.

CROSSWORD SOLUTION


C O L U M N I S T SAre they quiet and serious? Chatty and social? Are there 50 people playing? 150? 500? Only by mixing in with different groups of players will you fi nd the one that you fi nd the most fun to be around.Next there are the numbers of games/sessions, entrance fees, and payouts. How much do you want to spend? How much do you want to win? How many games are you up for? These are important considerations. Luckily, the Bingo Bugle has most of this information in the ads the halls run in each issue.Finally, there is word of mouth. Hopefully you know a few people who are Bingo regulars. They are a great source for learning about the various games in town and the pluses and minuses of playing at each venue. Good luck with your search! —Aunt Bingo

Seat ownership■ Unfair and needs to be stopped

Dear Aunt Bingo,Why is it that some players insist upon sitting in the same spot every time and don’t mind making a public scene if they fi nd someone else is sitting in “their” special seat? With a public game like Bingo, it seems the rule of the house should be that whoever arrives fi rst gets to sit wherever he/she wants to, and all those who follow take whatever seats remain. This notion of “reserved” seats is unfair and the idea of seat ownership needs to be stopped. Bingo is supposed to be fun. Battles over seats make the games stressful for everyone. —Staci, via email

Dear Staci,It’s pretty safe to assume that the majority of folks who insist on sitting in the same chair each and every time are doing so because they think it will bring them luck.I have no problem with this—except when a player feels it is his or her right to badger another player sitting in “their” seat. If it is that important to them, they should make a point of arriving at the hall early and securing that magic seat. If they fail to do so, they can then politely ask if that player would mind moving. If the person declines, that should be the end of it. If the requestor then gets aggressive, I would hope the person seated would call a worker or the manager and report the harassment.At certain halls there are places I prefer to sit and play, not out of superstition, but because I may like how the sound system sounds there or because there is a good view of the monitor or caller. But if I arrive and there is someone already there, I simply move on. I would never be so bold as to ask them to pack up their stuff and move elsewhere. To me that’s a little crazy. —Aunt Bingo

Dear Aunt Bingo,I’m new to the Bingo scene and am curious about what you think the best way is for me to choose what Bingo center to play in. I used the Internet, but it didn’t have much information. I thought about calling each hall to learn more about them, but being new to the game, I am not sure what to ask or how helpful that would be. What do you suggest for my research? —C.C., Illinois, via email

Dear CC,In my opinion, there is only one sure way to determine which Bingo hall best suits you. And it will require some legwork.The environment is a huge part of a player’s enjoyment of Bingo—lighting, chairs and tables, air quality, location, and so on. You can’t get a feel for this over the phone. You really need to go to each hall, play a couple of Bingo sessions, and see what you think.Equally important are your fellow players.

Online BingoOrdinarily I would not praise any Bingo activity that kept you out of the Bingo Hall where there is fun, excitement and many people to relate to. However, this site I ran across was so much fun I just have to share. There is a small charge to sign on and a regular charge for cards, but the fun begins there. You can buy many cards or just one for that matter. You can rent a machine that will keep track of all your cards be it four or forty.The play is fast, but not too fast—at least I was able to keep up easily. I had paid for sixteen cards and rented a machine to keep track of them. I have no idea why I came up with that number—maybe I thought it was lucky. I paid for all this on my credit card—which always makes me feel like I am getting it free. That, I think, is the biggest danger of credit cards.The fi rst game was a chair, facing either way and I was on once, but no win. When you win, there is a series of computer commands you have to punch in, but it is pretty easy. You have to be on your toes to get your win before the next game is called.The second game was a little box anywhere. That one is pretty hard to keep track of and I was glad to have a machine doing the work. Again I was on, but didn’t win.The third game was a hard way. I was on many times, especially if I could have used the free space, that I was sure I would win but no—again, close but no kewpie.It is a little strange to be sitting alone in your living room or offi ce and have no noise of the Bingo hall around you and still be playing desperately to win. I wanted to ask my neighbor how he was doing or somehow make human contact, but there was no one to ask.Kate was away for the week and I was at home alone, hence my time on the computer.The next game was Simple Simon—which is a regular Bingo anywhere and one outside line, top, bottom or either side. That one went really fast and I didn’t even get on before someone won. Again, no noise from the winner—which made it all a little spooky.This site even makes time for a brief

intermission so you can get a snack. I did so and had some cherries off our neighbor’s tree, which our thoughtful neighbor had picked for us. Delicious.The next game was my favorite of the whole session, it was a double Bingo with a wild number—that number to be the fi rst ball out. In this case it was a 3 and I was pleased as I could see many 3’s on my cards. In four numbers I was on and was really excited. I won. I yelled with excitement and wondered how I would get paid. The answer came up quickly on my screen. I could elect to have payment by check or take a credit against my next session. Of course I took the credit. I am hooked. I love Bingo.Emotional situation■ Stuck in a downpour

Dear Dream Lady,I am having a recurring dream. I am not a photographer, but I dreamed that not only I, but also I as a second and third person run around taking pictures of each other. This is a very confusing and I wake up disoriented.Stacy K., Las Vegas, Nevada

Dear Stacy,Sadly, your dream does not have a good interpretation. Since you are taking photos of yourself, it tells me you are self-absorbed and everything is about you. Ironically, the idea that you are taking photos of yourself (times three) tells me you don’t trust yourself to make good decisions Are you involved in a change of job, home or a relationship? Your dream says you are. If so, you might consider counseling to learn how to trust yourself more, but if you don’t care that you are narcissistic (some people are fi ne with that), then accept the dream and move on as best you can. —Dream Lady

Dear Dream Lady,I live in the south where we have extremely heavy rainstorms, but lately I have been having dreams where I am stuck in a downpour that soaks me to the skin in seconds and I simply cannot get dry. What is so weird is that I dream I am being rained on in my house, at the stores or when I visit my friends or parents. What is going on?Randi Fae, LaMarque, Texas

Dear Randi Fae,This type of dream tells me you are in a delicate emotional situation where if you express your opinions at all, it is likely to cause serious family or relationship troubles that will drown you in misery. In situations like this, it is best to keep your opinions to yourself and let the drama play itself out. Your dream is a warning so please listen to it. —Dream Lady
