Just like anything else: there are some quacks, some mediocre ones, some good ones, and some amazing ones. <BR/><BR/>The first time I went, the reader was milking two teenagers for every last dollar in order to "pay for the psychic to pray" for them.<BR/><BR/>Horrible. <BR/><BR/>But there are some amazing and genuine psychics out there, too.Spy Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299551957327543491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1158415132813092922006-09-16T09:58:00.000-04:002006-09-16T09:58:00.000-04:00That has never happened to me.

But also pretty cool because it all sounded good, not bad. <BR/><BR/>I had a reading many years ago, but it was very vague. I was disappointed. Would I do it again? Maybe. <BR/><BR/>Shi brings up a good point - if people do have these abilities, they should use them to help others. That's why they have such a gift. That's my belief.Stacy~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14919278697757441246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1158374081555136342006-09-15T22:34:00.000-04:002006-09-15T22:34:00.000-04:00Cryna, I think I fall into the same category as yo...Cryna, I think I fall into the same category as you... not writing it off, but a skeptic. :-) But I have to admit, this was just bizarre in its accuracy. He even said both my husband and I are the same astrological sign... which we are. Then he added, "you're both Virgos." Which is true.<BR/><BR/>Amy, I just heard Montel on the radio because he was in town, and I really found myself respecting his passion for good causes. I haven't seen the Sylvia Brown episodes though. Who does she read? Just guests?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Kim! Glad you like my books. :-) <BR/><BR/>Hi Kathy! It's been like five whole hours since I've talked to you. LOL.<BR/><BR/>Judy, psychics have always scared me too. I figured I didn't want to know anything bad. I actually requested this guy because he looked too perky to be ominous. <BR/><BR/>Jennifer, this was my first time doing this... and I'm not sure if I'll do it again.<BR/><BR/>Diana, that son in a past life thing sounds a little bizarre for a teacher to say to her students! What was she thinking? And obviously it's stuck with you. <BR/><BR/>My friend's daughter wanted to have a pet psychic come and tell them what their chihuahua was thinking. My friend said for forty bucks, forget it. She figures Pedro is thinking about food and sleep, in that order. No mystery there. ;-)Erin McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914817304686495934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1158361169980371552006-09-15T18:59:00.000-04:002006-09-15T18:59:00.000-04:00i haven't ever done any of those things, although ...i haven't ever done any of those things, although i'm not totally closed off to the idea that gifts exist.<BR/><BR/>however...if they do exist...i'd prefer to see people using them for the good of mankind, instead of their wallet. so many of 'psychic' people have turned out to be fakes.Shiloh Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785046046157000126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1158358836569515612006-09-15T18:20:00.000-04:002006-09-15T18:20:00.000-04:00Erin, that is freaky about the whole ski trip thin...Erin, that is freaky about the whole ski trip thing. What did your husband think when you told him what the psychic had said?<BR/><BR/>I've never been to a psychic and am not sure if I believe or don't believe their abilities. My fourth grade teacher went to see psychic Sylvia Browne once and came back and reported to the class that Sylvia told her that one of her students was her son (or something like that) in a previous life. That was a little strange.<BR/><BR/>DianaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1158353334648924102006-09-15T16:48:00.000-04:002006-09-15T16:48:00.000-04:00I have never been to or called a psychic.I have never been to or called a psychic.Jennifer Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17872094673771046272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1158352945258801922006-09-15T16:42:00.000-04:002006-09-15T16:42:00.000-04:00Oh Erin that gave me chills.

But I am not writing it off, it could be very true for some people to be able to do this sort of thing, but I am just a skeptic.<BR/><BR/>Although I have to admit that the teal leaf reading you describe sounds like the real deal, especially since he only knew your first name.<BR/><BR/>CrynaWolfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074374942530266065noreply@blogger.com
