No. I think there are a lot of people who are "gifted" at reading people and are experienced with offering very subtle leading questions and picking up on subtle shifts in people's reactions (non-verbal cues) in order to help them make educated guesses and predictions. I also believe there are many, many more scammers who simply pretend to have those skills. I also am open to the idea that a rare few folks do have some extra-sensory gifts but they are very rare indeed.

I absolutely believe that there are people with such gifts and that often it is a real burden on them.

Yes, I have, a few times. Mixed experiences. I did love one tarot card reader who was very much in sync with me and her readings were very soothing and enlightening, encouraging me to grow. She gave me lessons in reading cards, and I still do it (for myself) as a form of meditation. Also, the first tarot card reading I ever had was very powerful: it indicated I would be moving away from the mother influence in my life and toward the father influence. Shortly thereafter my mother (and closest friend) passed away, and since then my father has become much more open and verbal, and i feel like I have a real relationship with him for the first time in my life. Oh, probably shouldn't say this, but I was a "late-bloomer" romantically/sexually, and at the same weekend gathering of people where I had my first tarot card reading, I also had my first sex. The tarot card reading was better.

yup, only a special few and very few times, they have always been right on. Also my mother had a very dear friend who was psychic, although this woman did not "read" for people. She just told friends certain things once in awhile.

Yes. palm read tea leaves etc. I think there may be people who are 'sensitive' but otherwise its a scam. I had one tell me I'd never marry but have several kids, and another one told me I'd have several husbands and no kids! LOL I'm middle-aged, married, no kids. Ha!

Good Morning Everyone!! Happy Monday. Hope your week is off to a great start! Here are the results of: Have you ever had a reading with a psychic? Today's question is: Have you ever done any canning? (jam, jelly, veggies, etc.) My answer is Yes! Lots of times.

no, but wish I had had the experience at least once. My Dad originally lived on a farm, so I am sure my grandma did lots of canning!

Nope, but would if I had someone to teach me (and some stuff to can!) I'm not sure this is the sort of thing to learn well from a book.

Yes, my mother guilted me into 130 glasses of peach preserving on my last visit. Didn't want to see another peach for at least a year. This time I am going in spring, well clear of peach season.LOL

Yup...I always loved the feeling while pulling the skins off of the tomatoes (or is that tomatos)?

Nope. My mom canned a bit when I was little. She made applesauce and jam. She used paraffin on top of the jam, I recall. I am sure that is an outdated method now . . . but I wouldn't touch the stuff . . . just the look of it turned me off forever. My sister makes her own pickles and pickled eggs, though--and they are good. But I just never felt it was worth the effort--or the risk of botulism. <Shiver.>
