to not want my friend to come here anymore and talk to her imaginary ghost friends??

[IDontWantTeaWithDorisStokes]

She is a lovely friend.

She has no mental health issues.

Her family are all member of various Spiritualist Org/Churches.

Her children are adorable too.

I find myself a bit irked by the time she has gone and I'm a bit jumpy.

She'll say things like "oooooh do you know a Robert, he knows you- he's here with us, behind you on the sofa"

If we're in the garden she'll look into the distance and say "Linda isn't unhappy anymore etc, etc, doe sthat mean anything to you?"

At first it was quite funny but my children are starting to ask odd questions and I find myself dreading her coming round. I feel the need to turn off all T.V.'s and pour holy salt everywhere.

Telling her I'm not interested has fallen on deaf ears.

Tuesday13 - how about she has to concentrate on her crown chakra and feel energy pouring in through it, a pure white energy, through her body, and into the ground beneath her feet. Ask her to feel the solidness of the earth beneath her.

It won't turn off her 'gift' but it might make her a bit less 'flaky' as the Americans say.

Play her at her own game.

"Oh do you know a Robert..?"

" No...do YOU know Fred? He wants you to find his teeth"

Etc, etc.

(sorry again for hijack)

Nemofish - wow, really interesting. Always wondered what people meant regarding development - probably naively thought it came on a la sixth sense

My gran uncle is a water diviner, amazing to watch. He has also worked closely with the guards, finding bodies etc , it all seems to be a connection with water for some odd reason though - he can find bodies in the water etc... hes 80 odd now though, but looks older, I think the things he has seen have tormented him to a level throughout the years, although, when I asked him he said it was just something he learned to live with - he doesnt know any better.

Thanks for that - sorry for prying.

Guided meditation - but with a tree and a crystal and white light - but close. Dont forget the candles and the hippy music

(Sorry about spelling in dyslexic and have kick DH off to sofa to sleep tonight so can't get right spellings )

S'fine, not prying, it's nice to be asked Years ago I would have laughed at things like water divining, but because of everything I have witnessed myself, well let's just say I'm not laughing so much anymore!

Tuesday13 don't forget incense and remember they have to be proper dribbly candles. And yes she is the tree, with her roots extending deep into the earth. Could we plant some sort of sorbonnic injection at this point do you think? Like Idonwantteawithdorisstokes could really do with a spa weekend away plus all of your savings in unmarked bank notes...

only if i can have my half of the money

You need to decide whether you believe in this nonsense phenomena. If you do, then tell her it worries both you and the children. If you do not believe, then you need to tell her in no uncertain terms to stop winding people up for her own entertainment

Your friend is a narcissist. Tell her to stop cold reading you. She is doing it to make herself feel interesting and enigmatic.

"Velma from Scooby Doo" made me laugh more than anything else on here. But it's all amusing.

I liked SGB's 'tinfoil hat.'

If she's otherwise nice and you want to stay friends, then tell her firmly that your DC are being upset by it. If she still carries on then she is NOT A FRIEND, she's either a con artist or a deluded, self-obsessed twat (and a fairly rubbish cold reader by the sound of it given that none of her guesses 'messages' are hitting target).

Ha! Thank you. You have all cheered me up. Other than this she is such a lovely and generous friend and our children love each other.

Tis a shame, I guess no-ones perfect.
