Hi, this is the first time I've submitted an email on here, anyone who knows a lot about astrology, I would be grateful for any advice..
I can't afford to pay for my chart to be read right now. I don't know who else to talk to, especially in this area of expertise.
I know so many women in this similar situation, it's so sad, that I have to put it out there, in hopes of them coming across this letter and help themselves NOW before they get hurt, like I have recently. I've recently went to a party where my friend had an astrologer read our charts. I've asked about the charts btwn this new guy I've met (6/9/87 @ 3:30 PM) b/c I didn't want to give my heart away yet if he wasn't a good match. She said he matched up well and it would be a good experience. So I have, despite the age difference and this being the first time ever being interested in someone much younger let alone dating him. Especially NOW, b/c I've recently found out the ex who I've still had feelings for and have been keeping in contact with here and there, hurt me. I should have cut it off when I had the chance! I was in love, or what I thought was love. When this whole time he kept leading me to think he changed for good, and there was a future for us and kept wanting to rekindle things between us, all things HE said!
The ex's dob is (9/21/72 @ 9:05 AM) I just found out that he JUST GOT MARRIED, (on 6/8/08)!!! To the person who was in his life, even during our relationship...which he kept denying and I've tried to make contact with her and let her know that we were together, while w/ her, to open her eyes as well...she kept believing him and assuming I didn't have anything to do with him...and didn't want to hear what I had to say, no matter how much evidence I had. He even contacted me 3 days before his wedding trying to "hook up" with me and said he wanted me in his life, he "rather have 20% of me than nothin", (his own words, whatever that means), what a piece of sh*t! I didn't fall for it! I told him he's a liar and I was dating someone else and didn't want to ruin it. He even called me 2 days after his wedding, yep on his honeymoon! I now see him for what he is! I just hope she wises up soon too, b/c I think she's living in a fairytale (her dob is 10/14/73, I don't know the time
but I'm almost positive the yr. is correct) I warned her, and now it's not my problem. So when I found out all this recently, I was devastated and HURT SO BAD, depressed like I've never been and felt so stupid in hoping and praying there was good in him, he turned out to be such a typical jerk! All that, tells me he not only lied to me but also cheated on me all along, as well as lied and cheated on his "new wife" b/c this whole time he denied anyone else was in the picture especially her! He claims he's kept her around (as a "friend/room mate") b/c it's a "safe" situation for him, has a roof over his head and she never fights with him, I believe it also has to do with money and security, b/c he's mentioned in the past about her making more money than him. I don't believe anything he says anymore, so I don't know what to say, he's a Jekyll & Hyde. Knowing what kind of character he is now, is their marriage really gonna last?? I mean come on! It was built on lies and cheating. What hurts me even more is that he's getting away with it AND that his family AND friends knew about the both of us...and condoned it (he actually became his biological father who he always hated, b/c he cheated on his mom, and other women, constantly and left for good!). So it surprised me to know that the family was ok w/ it and never told either one of us, I had to find out the hard way. I can't stand people like that, but you know what they say (if I recall correctly) "Birds of a feather, flock together". I HOPE karma will come back to him 10 folds! I hope this letter will shed light on the women (and men) who are in similar disastrous situations as this, and they get out before it's too late! Will his luck run out? Will he ever get found out? I wonder if it's in his chart? That's the only way they'll learn. I would LOOOOOVE to tell him personally to F**K off!! Ha ha.. I'm focusing more and more on myself now and having fun with my new man, I definitely am getting stronger and wiser from this, although I still
feel deeply hurt, can't deny that. He made me think that WE would be the one getting married, etc...So confused as to what happened,it's like looking at a totally different person! Much Thanks to whoever replies to this! I REALLY look forward to your response!
My DOB: 2/1/80 @ 2:18 AM. I HOPE there really IS Light (a Bright Light) at the end of my tunnel!

Aquarius getting Stronger!

This got my typing speed up about 20wpm. Just say no or else you'll find yourself having meaningless converations with people who you really don't care about.

I remember back in the day when yahoo was a great place to chat. Any room you went into, there was real people in there chatting. Now its just infested with bots, hackers, and spammers. Its a shame a multi billion dollar I.T. / internet company can't find a way to control the situation. Too little too late I'm afraid.

Completely unusable as it's been taken over by spam/porn bots. There are very few real people chatting in any of the rooms. I used to use Yahoo chat frequently between 2001-2005, made a lot of new friends via that medium. But not anymore. You're better off using IRC if you want to actually chat with people rather than bots.

it's terrible, but u can make yahoo experience better by visiting http://www.geocities.com/conferencehost/home.html

a great place to chat! very informative. great site.

highly recommended.

I've been around Yahoo! Chat for about 10 years. It has really going downhill. Mainly rude and childish people. I have not ran in to any "hacker wannabes", however, I don't doubt they exist. I have seen many state that Yahoo! should do something about it, such as moderators. The problem is Yahoo! does NOT care. How do I know this? I see moderators all the time in the rooms (look for the @sbcglobal) in the handles. They sit there, allows childish insults and flaming to go on, allow spamming in the rooms, and do nothing about it. What's the purpose of a moderator that does not moderate? I'd stay away from Yahoo! chat, it's worthless!

well ivisit the chat room 3times 1year ago and it was ok,dont have to much to say some were good somewere jerks

It's like the Wild West of the Internet, you've got spammers, scammers, wannabe hackers, booters, perverts, bots you name it Yahoo has it. Atleast they made the minimum age requirement 18 for joining now and log i.p.'s of all users....dont know how effective that is, it's still the same.

Unfortunately, the bots' and IM spammers have taken control of Yahoo chat as well as other chatrooms. Yahoo needs to do something about that.

Yahoo chat is almost a complete waste of space, and mostly because it is a free service still. Not necessarily Yahoo's fault. I would never spend another minute chatting on the yahoo chat forum again. The whole place is filled with sickos and wannabe hackers. Sometimes a wannabe hacker is worse than the real thing, because they want to prove themselves so bad they don't care what gets damaged in the process. Avoid Yahoo chat if you can...

Don't do it.

I luv to go to www.yahoo.com to chat.

I'm a 6 year online veteren of chat rooms. As a female, I would strongly urge other females NOT to use Yahoo chat. Aside from it being full of bots, spammers, pedos, pic traders and cammers, it is also ground zero for men posing as women. I also have to agree with the comment about middle and near eastern males on Yahoo chat. My experience has found them to be consistantly rude, crude and condescending.

I have never been a big online chatter; however, Yahoo! Chat seems to be one of the better sites for this service. There are literally hundreds of rooms dedicated to different topics, including sports, movies, music, politics, etc, so there is obviously something for everyone. Nevertheless, as with any chat room, there is abuse of discretion as to language and off topic chat. Unfortunately, being one of the most active chat sites, the Yahoo! Chat rooms suffer from a lot of cham (ie chat spam), and there seems to be a limit as to how many chatters can be in one room. Finally, Yahoo! features voice chat, webcams, and the choice of Chat 2.0 or Java.

It's no better or worse than MSN Chat. Anywhere but Yahoo Chat and MSN Chat has a very low population/is empty. Completely agree you should avoid Indians and Arabs.

It's a good service, but it has been plagued recently with a lot of vulgur content. I don't chat very often, but I figured that I'd check this out once. Boy, what an experience. I think that this is merely a haven for rejects who haven't even gotten a grade school education. Yahoo!Chat's problem is that there is no way to keep people from insulting or PMing other people. There should definately be a moderator or something to keep order in the chatrooms.

I don't chat anyway, but I was really disappointed with the web cam chat. I think yahoo should have it like webcamnow instead of manually clicking on each name to see their webcam.

Makes you think indians are very net savvy.

Probably the rudest people after Survivor Chat(man! can't stand those guys over at Survivor CBS Chat). Whenever I come to Yahoo!chat, theres always some people PMing me, advertising some porn website, or Ill get Indians who PM me and tell me they shall rape my sister. I think there should be a room moderator, or stricter rules in Yahoo!chat, if not, Im not going back there again. :P

Great place as long as you avoid chatting to Indians and Arabs.

Yahoo Chat is the last place you'd want to chat with online. The people here are so rude, and it's so confusing. They give you this tiny screen with 30 members on it, and you have to figure out who you are and people can break into your computer and steal your credit card cash! It's true, and you have to stay away.

Very easy. HTML and Java formats. Much better than Collegeclub.com

Yahoo!Chat is just fine but I don't know anybody that chats on Yahoo often. All of my friends are on AOL or Instant messanger and I prefer that over Yahoo!Chat.

I like this web site because it enables people from all over the world to talk to each other. It has many different topics and different chat rooms to fit everyone's interests.

This is not as simple to use as AOL instant messanger. Because you have to wait for people to authorize you and everything. But it's not as popular therefore if you want to only talk/chat with certain people it can be more personal.

Being a fan of AOL's chatting, online community, I was actually quite surprised to see that Yahoo offered, for free, the same goodies such as instant messages and profiles. My only disappointment was to not find so large a community as AOL offers, but for the price of nothing, this is a cool place to chat away and kill some time.

Yahoo Chat! is a great website that people should use if they ever find themselves bored. Just go to Yahoo Chat! and talk to interesting people that you might make friends with. This site will give you a sense of excitement and fun being able to talk to all kinds of people online.

This is okay, but not as good as AOL. Plenty of topics to choose from. Chat rooms can always be fun, but too many interruptions from porn site advertisers. Good to meet some people around the world.

Great site and chat system to make a lot of friends. Offers many fun activities online.

This site is not as friendly as an AOL user chat room. The variety of chat room topics is very good, but I don't think I've encountered the right people. Yahoo!Chat should make more of an effort to censor unruly chat people.

This is a pretty decent site for chatting. It is good and has voice chat as well. However, there isn't anything that makes this site stand out.

I feel chat sites in general need to be monitored in better ways. It is one thing to monitor a site and another to enforce rules. I'm not saying Yahoo!Chat, but I've been in Yahoo Games where you can also chat, and many people argue and call names instead of chat.

The place to chat is at Yahoo!Chat. Meeting people online is a popular thing to do and even having relationships is good. PM messaging is really good when you want privacy with the person you are chatting with. I even like their voice chat because I'm curious as to what they sound like. It is always fun to meet and chat with people in Yahoo. You might get lucky and find the right person for you...but always be careful! You never know who you'll bump into after the chat!

I like this site because I get all my information from this site. You can find just about everything you need to know from this site. I can look up important things or fun things. I spend about two hours on this site when I'm not busy.

Cool! Rad! Awesome! All that stuff. Just a few examples; profiles with pics, webpages, instant messaging.

It's good. It's a different kind of chat room. There is no way to tell if someone you know is online and you want to chat with them.

It's a good site to talk to people you don't know. I think it's good cuz you got voice chat too. I'll recommend it to lots of people, especially teens!

I have learned a lot from people that I don't even know through Yahoo!Chat. There are different kinds of rooms (chat rooms) and you can just go to one that you like and you can talk about everything. It is very good, and you also can talk live with other people.

Yahoo is just an all around great website. The chat room is excellent. Very often you meet interesting people.

I tried to get in once and it took a long time. When I finally got it to work, it was cool and there were lots of people. Basically, all chats are the same to me.

Yahoo!Chat is cool because you get to meet and talk to people that you can't see, so I recommend that everybody who can get on the site please do.

I gave this a 2 because I don't usually go to the site, but when I went it was just people messing around.

Great resource for networking with people of similar interests. However, there are a lot of jerks who jump into chats without knowing about topics or netiquette.

There are various types of chatrooms which fit the categories of almost anyone. Categories range from discussion of novels, games, movies, etc., almost everything you can think of.

This site opens one up to many types of communities. You can meet many people from your local area all the way to another part of the world. Also, it's a great place to chat about things you like, like wrestling.

I think that Yahoo!Chat is okay but I really perfer to use AOL instant messanger.

Yahoo Messenger is the best! Really! There is no reason to dislike yahoo messenger (unless your computer is old, but that's not it's fault) I would use it more often, if I chatted more.

Site is okay. It is very slow and uses too much of Java stuff. Not meant for slow computers. Even high speed computers crash when using Yahoo! Chat.

I love the services. Good voice-chat, too, but it can be made better in quality. Also, there are some friends of mine who have problems getting into the voice-chat.

I use it. I love it. Easy to use. The site is never down. Links are properly organized.

I love what it has done to the way people communicate in the open in an alternative world. I love its ability to connect people.

If you like chatting on the web, Yahoo has one of the easiest systems to use. Good for keeping in touch with friends and relatives, but bad for meeting new people.

I love it! I made friends through Yahoo chat. I'm talking with my firends fom other countries via voice chat. And I like the 'faces' and emotional expressions that build inside the chat.

The Yahoo.Chat is great. I met people over the Internet and they were really nice. I like the topics in the chat too.

I love this website because of the chat feature. They also tell you when you have mail.

I have only recently used this service and I am already hooked on it. Its great to meet people in cyberspace. The program is easy to use and fast to log on.

Four score and seven years ago... there once was a man from venus... there once was a woman from china... a great man once said... what about that mad cow disease?

I have met many people online at Yahoo chat that I now consider to be friends.Love the Yahoo Message Boards as well!
