Much to the amusement of my spouse and daughter, I am feng shui-ing our house. They think I've gone off some new age rocker and they're guffawing left and right. They can hardly contain themselves. :lol:

However, the clutter is disappearing slowly but surely, and things look nicer (thought the unbelievers can't say why) and I am calmer. So it can't be that bad.

So please tell me I'm not the only SoWaller out there who has looked into this! Or am I?

Mermaid,

Believe it or not we studied Feng Shui in school. I haven't come across many, if any, requests for Feng Shui principles in any design work since but I am aware that this is quite common in areas of the country with a large ethnic Chinese population.

It has been a few years since I looked at it, you will have to give all a quick lesson.

As I said, bring on your bad feng Shui self! But it sounds like it is going to be hard to find a night with nothing else going on !!! The fungin' schwayin' may have to wait until spring break or the summer....

I need to go to sleep. Is it good feng shui if I am facing my bedroom door? Is it bad feng shui that I sit at the computer, facing a wall? What does feng shui say about exterior holiday illumination? So many questions- my head is spinning...:D

Like I said, last time I did any Feng Shui I was in college. Oddly enough, last time I did any fungin' and schwayin' I was also in college, and under the influence.:blink:

You're about ready to give me a heart attack. :eek: If you have that bed lined up with the door, move it RIGHT NOW. It's the coffin position, thus named because the Chinese carry their dead out feet first. Since I have every intention of fenging and shuing with you on New Years, you'd better get hopping. Shift that bed over a few degrees, will you, so I can breathe normally? :razz:

Li Qi is a term for numerology in Feng Shui.

I assumed there would be alcohol involved in Fungin and Schwaying. ;-)

Mermy's new job- Feng Shwayer for the monkeys!!!:floor:

That's hysterical....:rolling: This is my favorite part:

"It's very experimental," Mainini said. "We don't have any books on feng shui for monkeys. We just have to assume that Darwin is correct and that there is a connection and what is good for humans is good for monkeys."

That feng shui expert must have been an architect as well because it doesn't take that kind of money to figure out what goes where (or maybe I'm missing out on something :eek: ).

No SoWal sticker for the car that replaced the Dearly Departed Durango nor is it going to have one either, at least not until we drive down to SoWal to get it!!! I want to be IN SoWal when we christen the new car. :wub:
