I want to see a fortune teller or card reader. I believe there are authentic one's out there but how do you find the real? I feel like life is at a tipping point and I want to cheat and have someone tell me the answers.

I know it's absurd.

Ooo.

Interesting. I can't say I think any of them are real, though some may be acting in better faith than others.

Except for Lily Munster-- she was totally real; I'd go see her any day.

I don't blame you for wanting to cheat, as you say.

My sister did some tarot cards when we were teenagers - i guess this isn't a reliable anecdote.

My daughter saw a..i can never spell this word..psychic? in Sedona, twice over a period of years and she thought she was pretty good.

Yes, of course, Lily Munster.

It's like looking in the phone book (remember those?) under "honest used car salesmen".

I think we should be able to cheat.

I don't remember my old testament history but i'm guessing he came to no good when dealing with fortune tellers and witches.

Yeah, Saul came to no good, but he was already on a downswing. When I was a kid, I think all of that was illegal within most city limits, so when we would drive down through the Central Valley, you'd see these little places with neon signs on the highway well out of town, for palmists or card readers. Very tacky and exotic/mysterious at the same time.

Not sure how it would help to cheat, even if you really could (which I don't believe).

Great imagery!

You're disappointing me. Not that I didn't expect a good dose of reality from you.
