Tarot is not the work of the devil, and I didn't angrily e-mail you. I simply took something to e-mail that I would have rather not taken to the forums. I was trying to prevent personal attacks in a public forum. Sorry you feel the need to constantly insult me.
But this is the only reply you are getting, because frankly I am not wasting another breath on you.
Not only do I NOT miss the eighties (except maybe the movies)and all its funky quirks... I don't miss my Dad being in and out of the mental hospital back then when I was growing up.
Everyone has some sort of psychic ability, but some are able to tap into it more readily than others.
Just as in any group of people, some are for real, and some are not. And alot of people have misconceptions about what a psychic is and is not. A true psycic would offer insight into your life. A true psychic does not do anything for personal gain, and cannot tell you things like lottery numbers.
I do not claim to be psychic, however, I do use Tarot cards as a medium. People have misconceptions about Tarot too. Tarot cards DO NOT predict... they just offer insight into someone's life. And I never ask any questions before I do a reading. about 95% of the time I identify what the persons question is without them telling me. Its all there in the cards, and I use intuition to help interpret what the cards are saying. FOr example, one time a lady wanted a reading, and I told her she was having issues with her father that would cause bigger issues if not dealt with. She got angry and told me she didn't want to know about that, she wanted to know about her pregnancy. I told her that the two things are obviously related.
Another woman came to me and I told her she was tired of her current job situation and she was considering starting her own business. This turned out to be the case. She told me she had for some time been considering it, and I put some more cards down to see if that would be favorable and it was.
Anyways, I know there will probably be some of you who will take what I have to say and disect it word for word trying to tell me that my readings are no true readings, but I go into these readings blindly, and seeing as how I did these on the net (free of charge) I couldn't "watch facial expressions" as one of you put it.
Right now though I haven't done any readings in awhile, because my life is too hectic right now I wouldn't b e very accurate. BUt when my mind and my spirit is clear I can read others....
To the first question.... I'd save the man... The dog would probably be able to stay a bit longer than the man and probably would be able to save himself by the time I finished saving the man.
But the money or pet question.... definantly the pet!!
As far as the president question.... who cares??? If he was in an icy river... his secret service men would jump in after him.
My parents smoked it since before I was born-- mostly to relieve my Mom's pain. But when I was a kid I didn't know why they smoked it. But I've never liked it since I was little.
BUT-- if a person wants to smoke it, fine by me. I won't judge you if you do. I won't tell you not to smoke it.
You asked if one could be paid for opinions, and how much that opinion is worth. Earlier I stated that there should be no price on opinions.
You also asked how smart do we thing we are.
So I'm going to dress these questions.
Opinions are equal. No one person's opinion is more valuable than another person's opinion. Take all the modern day marketing strategies out of this, if you will. Opinions are as personal as each person, and everyone's opinion is as valuable as everyone else's.
As for the smart question.... I think you'd need to be more specific. There are many forms and definitions of being intelligent, and there are many types of intelligence. Some people are musically gifted, or athletically gifted. Some are street smart. Some are good at expressing themselves. SOme can do any equation in their heads. Everyone is a genious at something.
The true test of intelligence is simple. As long as you know who you are within yourself, thats all you need to know. Know who you are inside.
Hey! I'm wondering if there is anything like CCSP in your area.
Here in the ATL, CCSP is an organization that provides very low cost (or in my moms case, free) home health care for about 15-20 hours a week in the home. They also provide meals on wheels, and emergency sevices, and alot of other things. The aides can hlp with housework, shopping, changing diapers, giving meds, you name it.
Contact DFCS or a social worker in your area to see if there is something similar.
Dad and I are the only ones there for my Mom, even though her brother, sisters, and her Mom are all close by. And I already am a caregiver at night, and now a caregiver in the daytime for mom (and no, I don't live at home) so I know how it feels. It can suck majorly.
But there should be help out there that is either low cost or no cost. DFCS or a social worker should be able to help you find it.
I'm not in any position to take care of a foster child. I can barely care for myself. I don't think it would be fair for me to unload my own emotional problems on someone that would probably have so much more than I do.
And the attachment factor~~ I'd get too attached.
If I were in a better position, though, perhaps I would.
All I'm saying is that there are caring souls out there-- and as far as the pharmecudical companies-- if you qualify, they'll send you the meds directly free of cost. Thats how I get my lexapro. The others I get through the university.
Oh-- and I wasn't totally disagreeing with you. Yes, many are in it for the money. BUT-- some are not.
My Dad searched for ten years before he found someone that wanted him as a patient for HIM and not for his money-- for I never came from a family that had any.
All I'm saying is that there are exceptions to every rule. One or Two people out of every hundred isn't bad.
Oh yeah-- and my therapist is still going to give me the reduced rate after her training, BTW. That has already been agreed upon.
There are plenty of therapists and doctors and pharmecudical companies who aren't in it for the money-- but you've got to find them.
I get my meds for free through a local universsity program, and my therapy and psychiatry costs 25 dollars for an hour session. And my T and my PDOC care more about me than the money. I owe them both back pay for sessions, and they don't expect me to pay them for it. They understand my financial situation and care more about me than money.
I gotta say I see where your coming from, but I disagree.
As I said, if you read my above statement, meds in my case were completely neccessary. (I'm getting personal now) They were neccessary so I would kill someone, or myself, or hurt someone or something, so I could get through the day without my emotions dramaticcally changing 20 to 30 times a day, so I could stop self injuring, so I could walk into some store and buy a coke, and so I could stop believing cameras were watching me in my own home, and a bunch of other things. They were neccessary so I could live like most of you live without meds.
And without those meds, I would have never been able to begin working through my problems. But I've come a looooooooooooooge way, and I owe both therapy and medication-- and my own willingness to be better-- as part of the "solution" to the "problem"
Meds keep the symptoms in check; It is therapy that defeats depression.
Even though some would say I am sharing too much, I'm going to anyway, just so you all can understand where I am coming from.
I have diagnosed Borderline personality disorder, dysthymia (depression and suicidal since about age 7 in my case) and social anxiety. I'm 30 now, so I've been dealing with haywire emotions for many, many years now. I won't go into all the stuff I have done, experienced, or gone through, but I will say I've come leaps and bounds on my road to recovery.
My meds are a godsend!! Without them I'd still be doing some very very bad things. So without them life would not have been functional~~ BUT all meds are supposed to be temporary. Meds are for all the months-- or in my case years-- it takes to be recovered. Someone like me might not ever be fully recovered, but something like depression can eventually be erased once you have the tools to overcome it.
No.... I disagree. Its very unhealthy to rely on someone so much you "die without them" in your words. A romantic partner should compliment you, but YOU should be able to stand on your own two feel and be happy if you never found anyone-- meaning you should be happy about the person YOU ARE and NOT rely on love for happiness.

RE: why would someone intentionally use you?
Because some people are just in it for themselves, and get off on making others feel like crap.
