To Ask for a Psychic Reading?

[FlibberJunk]

Pretty please?

I'm too scared to go in person.

I sense a need to go on a journey, but you are not sure of the destination. This might not necessarily be a journey of travel.

Just found the other thread in chat. Quite sad actually. I know some MNetters offered their help with the 'important issue' but the OP clearly just wanted a reading. I don't understand why people find it ok to judge someone for that. At the end of the day it is a belief and if we are allowed to judge others on their beliefs and tell them their beliefs are wrong and even mock those beliefs, how is that acceptable?

God forbid if one of the 7 billion people on this planet believes in something you don't

I went to see a psychic while on holiday in the US years ago.
I paid 40 dollars.
DH claimed that she really was psychic as she saw me coming.

Ahh but Hugh if you don't have a new house and new car now you will do in the future

I wonder how many people actually march back a few years later, to say "Oy! You were wrong. There's no house or car"!

Only to be told, "Well the future is still to come"

I mean you cant march back after you've died and tell them they were wrong.

And if you can, then fair play to them they must be real

Very good!

OP there was a so called 'psychic' last week who started a thread that got deleted.

It was supposed to be a bit of 'fun', until she claimed she could speak to dead relatives of Mumsnetters.

This understandably angered some people and upset another Mumsnetter who had lost her DH.

The OP claimed she could stare at someone's internet nickname and give them a 'reading'.

What she failed to do, was stare at the MN topics list and spot the Spiritualism topic.

She did say she'd start a thread this weekend in that topic though, which I suspect is what these threads are about.

See if you can find her over there.

I believe the thread was deleted as it was derailed by posters attempting to claim those wanting readings were vulnerable. As if they lacked the level of intelligence needed to make their own decisions because they believe in psychics.

The OP of that post specifically stated in her title that is was for fun. As is this.

If you do not believe in psychics, that is fair enough. But why feel the need to force your beliefs on others and not allow them their own beliefs?

There's nothing funny about coming to a public forum, claiming to speak to dead people.

I'm not getting into a row with you about it.

Strange though how two threads have been started today by two different name changers, to ask for a psychic reading.

This is AIBU, not the spiritualist topic.

And ask yourself this.

If you believe all this stuff is real, why did you say upthread that you want it for free?

My weekly grocery shop is real. I didnt expect Morrisons not to charge me for it.

A reminder that MN is here to make lives easier
OP - we do have a spirituality topic where those looking to discuss this sort of thing find more sympathy
HTH

What a silly comment to make. So those seeking advice on relationships, dieting, mental health, etc. could all get that from professionals who charge for their service and shouldn't expect it for free?

I'm offended that it offends certain posters if a thread about psychic readings is posted outside of the spirituality section.

Yes Coconutty and another Mumsnetter who had lost her DH, actually had someone PM her (in good faith) to point her towards the thread.

I would go for it, but go on recommendations. My daughters friends mum is a medium, and bloody good she is. I lost my dad when I was 10, she was so accurate. she has to be tested by a professional body every year, and go through evaluations. When she began her reading, she told me not to give any information, just to sit there, and she will let her spirit guide help her. It was so comforting. I wanted another reading, but she said that it would be better not to, and just to trust what dad had said through her and my gran too, and just to be in comfort that they are there with me.

She does not charge very much, about £20 for half hour.

This thread has nothing to do with dead people. I'd suggest the MNetter who PM'd to direct her toward the psychic reading thread was the insensitive one, not the OP who clearly offered psychic readings as a bit of fun.

Coconutty can I have a reading as well please (for fun)

I'd love a psychic reading but never had one. I used to be weirdly accurate reading tarot. Not sure if I truly believe though.

Bloke was talking to his mate in the pub and told his mate he was suffering from piles and was going to the doctor to get it sorted out.

• 'waste of time' said his mate,'what you want to do is shove some tealeaves up your bum morning and night. It acts like a poultice and draws the piles out. Never fails.'

The bike was getting desperate and will try anything so shoves the tealeaves up his bum for a week, just like his mate recommended.

After a week of doing this his piles are no better so he heads off to the doctor.

The doctor examines the man and after doing so, tell him:

• First of all, you do have piles and you'll need an operation

... And secondly, you'll go on a journey and meet a tall dark stranger

It says a lot about those of you who still choose to mock even after someone has expressed something is important to them and an actual belief.

But not important enough to use the correct topic?

Who do you believe gives these psychics their powers? Why them? Isn't the force that makes them able to do it the teensiest bit pissed off they do it for cold, hard cash?

Let's find every thread that hasn't been posted in the correct topic and hound it with mockery shall we?

Newes, I'm not paying.
