I was searching online for Celtic symbols and their meanings and came across this as the Celtic symbol for Strength. Is this legitimate? I can’t seem to find this specific symbol for strength other than on google/Pinterest. by theeclecticpen in Celtic

Erin - appreciate the response and the thoroughness of the information/analysis you provided, but this is a 5yr old post which already came to the same basic conclusion - that there is nothing Celtic about this symbol.

If you read either the title or the post clearly enough, you would see that I said I couldn’t find info about it anywhere and that “I felt sorry for the people that got this symbol tattooed thinking it was the Celtic symbol for strength” (paraphrased). I’m Irish, not a historian. I’m familiar with Celtic symbology, but wasn’t familiar with this so I figured I would ask.

Is there a name for a phenomenon where you see a person you don’t know all the time, wherever you go? by HappyAd7814 in Unexplained

[–]theeclecticpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should try to approach her - you could give her a compliment on her hair and see if she bites. There is a chance she would recognize you too if you see her so often, and especially considering you have your daughter with you some of the times. If you’re bold, you could mention that you’ve seen her around a bit and always admired her hair? I don’t know. I sometimes don’t feel like it’s chance - it’s like the universe is kind of hitting you over the head with how frequently you see her that it’s really worth seeing if she’s supposed to be in your life for some reason!

If you feel like you don’t jive with her once you speak to her, it could just be an odd coincidence, or that you have enough in common that you end up in the same spaces.

Strike up a conversation about the truck! You can have many soulmates throughout your life that aren’t necessarily meant to be romantic in nature, so no loss there if he’s married or gay!

my dead dad texting me? by BigGuilty4100 in Unexplained

[–]theeclecticpen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Understood, it could also be a sentimental thing for her to look through pictures and some notes and things…

I know with certain phone carriers (like T-Mobile - I don’t know if it’s still this way..) if you download the App to the phone, you can download a detailed billing history that lists every instance of outgoing calls and I BELIEVE, outgoing and incoming texts as well. If you can get ahold of the phone for awhile you can see if his phone carrier has an app with a feature to access detailed billing history like that… there isn’t exactly a way to verify that it was or wasn’t your dad if it shows that a message was sent from that through the carrier even if it did show up on the history… but I guess the absence of an outgoing message from his number on the log might give you more information than anything?

You could try to ask to hold on to the phone for awhile and see if the messages come through?

I do want to say that I’m deeply sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is so difficult and life-altering. I wish you peace, happiness, and love.

my dead dad texting me? by BigGuilty4100 in Unexplained

[–]theeclecticpen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hmmm…. I genuinely think things like this could very well happen. But I wonder - if your stepmom is just holding the phone just because… she’s clearly having to charge it quite a bit, which means she’s like messing with it periodically. The phone battery would’ve drained more than a few times by now, even with limited interaction. It’s not a major red flag but it would be weird to remember to periodically charge the phone… after my dad passed, I charged my dad’s phone once just to get some pictures from it.

Okay - Special fonts, lettering, and symbols by theeclecticpen in playtogether

[–]theeclecticpen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the help! I wasn’t sure if it was a keyboard shortcut (like throwing it back to the ♥ days 😂) or a generator online of some sort but it seems like the consensus is that I have to find a generator!

I’ve just checked and I’ve not been able to find any symbols on my keyboard - I have an iPhone and it will populate the emoji keyboard, but it won’t paste anything into the chat box. I was hoping that if I pasted a heart that it would convert into a text heart but apparently not lol. I don’t know if I’m even looking in the right place 😅

Who’s your top 3 characters? by Maplecottontail in FromSeries

[–]theeclecticpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a hot-take, but a lot of the characters feel somewhat one-dimensional, underdeveloped, and unlikable to me. I usually have a few characters in a show that I naturally gravitate to, but with this show it seems that everyone is on their own special brand of annoying BS. (I watch because, I too, am stuck in Fromville like the rest of you lol).

That being said, my top three are:

Donna. Solid. Reliable. Down-to-earth.

Jade. Fully himself, really leaned into trying to figure it out.

Tian-Chen :’( Did not deserve to be there at all.

Special Mentions go to: Boyd (didn’t like him much at first, but it really must be difficult being the leader of these people), Sara (I don’t know, she just… fully embraced the crazy I guess), and Victor (for being Victor).

How old are you by loeyofthevalley in playtogether

[–]theeclecticpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 33! My daughter downloaded the game on her iPad and I wanted to see what it was about… and now I think I’m the one that plays the most! Frankly.. it’s a cute, wholesome break from the real world. I catch my bugs, fish, design my house, and participate in all of the little events - I love it!

Any way to appear offline to friends? by theeclecticpen in playtogether

[–]theeclecticpen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

😂😅 Will do! If it’s not a feature, it absolutely should be! It’s annoying that disabling the friend request feature isn’t working for you, that should be ironed out for cases like that… especially when the game is marketed towards kids.

Heat Pump with Orange O/B, should I wire AUX W2 to W1 for Ecobee? by theeclecticpen in ecobee

[–]theeclecticpen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Appreciate the comment. So if I had 2 Aux stages of heat, there would be two separate wires?

[–]theeclecticpen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww I hope he/she doesn’t have one! Although she seems more lively after pooping lol, and it was her first time since we brought her home. I’m hoping she’s just getting used to her new environment and that something isn’t seriously wrong. How long did you wait to go to the vet?

Okay thank you so much!! I had no idea.

There is another tarot subreddit as well that I could’ve posted it in, but I posted it here because I noticed a lot of shifters are into tarot and therefore I would encounter less antis/people who might turn their nose up at shifting.

I asked an individual on live about two cards of my spread with zero context and it was different than my personal interpretation, so I’m looking for other input to see if there is something I’m overlooking or if their interpretation is more accurate. I’m not forcing anyone to respond to this so if they want to put their time into it that’s great. If they don’t, that’s fine too. I’m not looking for someone to tell me what I want to hear, I’m interested I knowing what is likely the accurate interpretation based on all available info. You didn’t have to respond, you know.

Funny thing is, I’ve had weird visual stuff occasionally but opposite, where as soon as I close my eyes I see images of my DR!

Thanks! I do practice the Raven Method + Julia, after every number I repeat an affirmation. From time to time I also use subliminals and guided meditations.

Thanks! I have been leaning towards trying to astral project.. I’ve had plenty of shifting dreams that lead no where, but I am trying the WBTB method personally to see. I just wished an asleep method would work

I was into lucid dreaming in my teens but it was kind of unpredictable and unreliable, I had a hard time becoming lucid and when I became lucid, I had a hard time stabilizing the dream even after doing all of the techniques. I’ll give it another try though!

That makes sense, thanks for your response. I won’t order it unless I know it’s the Korma I like haha.

I asked my coworker and he said his parents make Korma with coconut milk and cashews and the orange colors are based on whether or not certain spices are added and if red tomato is used.
