[emmline]

It doesn't match me.

[Innocent Bystander]

Aha! I recognise The Celtic Tree Calendar by Michael Vescoli.

I forget what language it is orginally written in - either German or Italian.

Amusing. But it won't replace Ogham.

[dwest]

Shouldn't the species be specific to your region of origin. Not all species listed grow every where and many listed are just common names for a genus that contains many species. Oak species are very different, take the turkey oak for example, small spindly, weak, not like the oak mentioned at all. I've fallen from many a tree but I'd rather be a sequoia, bald cypress which is no relation to cypress, bristle cone pine, or creosote bush than any of the listed trees. I'd consider a Dalbergia sp. but some whistle or piper nut wood just cut me down and turn me till I was just a hollow shell of my former self.

[fearfaoin]

Mine's about 50/50. My wife's isn't even close.
I'm pretty sure I saw this make the rounds on
the Internet 10 years ago. We need a word for
that... "cyber-cyclical"? "AOL-ja vu"?

[dwest]

I stick with astrology, more accurate and I get it in the paper everyday so I always know what to expect.

[Denny]

tends to lean tow! ard phi losophy,

whazzat

[Protean]

tends to lean tow! ard phi losophy,

whazzat

tends to lean toward philosophy

That threw me, too.

[Denny]

being rhetorical, he was

leans forward/backward/left/right?
just a general leaning philosophy

is that better that a drooping willow philosophy

wood you know?

[jsluder]

It doesn't match me.

Ditto. Mine is completely off base.

[dwest]

The willow one was just plain silly, everybody knows willows never suffer, that's a scientific fact, from Science.

[WyoBadger]

dw--what other kind of scientific fact is there?

[jsluder]

dw--what other kind of scientific fact is there?

The flip answer to your question would send this thread to the rubber room.

Hornbeam Tree (Good Taste) -- of cool beauty, cares for its looks and condition, good taste, is not egoistic, makes life as comfortable as possible, leads a reasonable and disciplined life, looks for kindness and acknowledgment in an emotional partner, dreams of unusual lovers, is seldom happy with its feelings, mistrusts most people, is never sure of its decisions, very conscientious..

Cool beauty. Disciplined life. Unhappy, indecisive, and mistrustful. But very conscientios. Yeah, that's me to a T, alright.

[Charlene]

Elm Tree (Noble-mindedness) -- pleasant shape, tasteful clothes, modest demands, tends not to forgive mistakes, cheerful, likes to lead but not to obey, honest and faithful partner, likes making decisions for others, noble-minded, generous, good sense of humor, practical.

Close. The shape would be more pleasant if I could lose a few pounds. And I do forgive - eventually - sort of. I don't like to lead but I don't really enjoy obeying (but I do if it will cause problems if I don't). I think I've got a good sense of humor.
