i had a girlfriend
we argued a lot and there was a lot of fighting. (she was always wrong though!)

as our relationship neared its twilight hours, the arguing grew worse.

one day at 1am, we just finish screaming about nothing, realize we are idiots and her mother calls. "whats wrong, whats going on, i know something is wrong, please tell me...."

her mother lived about 150 miles away.

ok.... not TOOOOOO weird. but weird.

about two weeks later, we had another big arguement because she would not accept that she was always wrong and i never was.

at 3 in the morning as we had just calmed down, her mother called. "i woke up because i know something is wrong between you two... tell me whats going on"

it happened a third time. never at any other time did she call like this. only these times we were fighting and breaking up.

part of me wants me to believe that it is just a coincidence or that there is an explanation. the logical side says that the odds are so astronomically against that happening 3 times in a row at the exact moment we were fighting that it cant be coincidence.

am i the only one who has had experiences like that?

JR, I had similar experiences...with calls as far away as from Israel.

LL has very unusual qualities,
I trust her guts feelings more often than my own in certain areas...

i met a girl in Russia once and she wanted me to meet her mother. her mother came in the room with a little book and asked my age, date of birth and some other info.

then she spent about 10 minutes furiously adding, subtracting and dividing with a calculator. she looked everything up in the book and then told made a lot of remarks about me, my personality, what kind of person i am etc. i was completely floored at the accuracy... then she announced that i was "acceptable", smiled, gave me a hug and left the room.

i guess in the end, i had to respect her for doin that math.

i never went back there again.

A few months ago, I had a strange feeling that something happened to my grandfather. As he was in the tenth year of his bipass I was very worried. I tried to reach him and couldn't. I left a message. A few days later, he returned my call. Nothing was wrong. He was just out of town.

Another true story. The last time I flew, all the passengers looked strange to me - like something was wrong. I worried greatly that there would be something wrong with the flight, but everything went perfectly. It was one of the smoothest flights I have ever been on.

One of my first jobs was as a cashier in a "Convenient Food Mart" in Syracuse, New York. I also ran the lottery machine. People loved to talk to me every day about how they could FEEL their numbers were going to come in. In six months, hundreds of people felt they were going to win the big state lottery "TONIGHT", but none ever did. There WAS this one lady who hit in a 3-way. I think it paid something like $1000. She was absolutely convinced that she KNEW her numbers were going to come in.

People very selectively remember when events happens that they had a feeling about and easily forget ones that didn't turn out to be true.

JR - you stated that there was a LOT of fighting. You could use that to assess the odds. If you fought every other day, the odds of someone calling you on a day you were fighting three times in a row is 1 in 8.

Or we could say you were fighting every day for a few weeks and that as long as her mom called within a 2 hour time period, that would consitute a coincidence. Then, the odds of her doing that are (2/24)^3 = 1 in 1728. Low but not amazing at all considering how many times 1 in 1728 events DON'T happen in your life. We see the events that do happen but no one says " I went to the grocery store today and didn't see anyone I know."

JR,

My sun sign is the least respected and well know of all: Ophiuchus

Maybe I am bitter. They don't even have Ophiuchus listed in the Herald's daily horoscopes.

There is no question in my mind that there is something to mysticism...
I've seen, heard, and experienced way too many "coincidences" for there NOT to be something to it!

I can tell you that we have HUNDREDS of members at PsychicWeb that swear by several of our psychics!


I BELIEVE! :rokk:

I will do psychic readings for 5.00 each question.
Am qualified, have had ESPN for a long time.

:yowsa:

I definately do and trust my instinct. I beleive I am psychic and often read people well. It's not that I don't make mistakes but trust my gut and I'm not off too often.

When it comes to my son it's almost a direct connection.

I beleive in it all.

I'm thinking you guys were just really, really LOUD! :awinky:

Dianna - what kind of things might you tell about someone? Can you tell what number I am thinking of right now?

bpj - got anyone that can predict lottery numbers?

Good morning everyone!

Three years ago, I left on a Sunday afternoon from Ashland, Oregon (Southern, Oregon) to go visit my daughter a 5+ hour drive away in Portland, Oregon...she didn't have a phone, I had no idea if she would be home (and the odds were she wouldn't be), I had to work the next morning, we weren't even on good terms at the moment, but suddenly I KNEW I needed to go to Portland. No particular panic....just a "knowing".

When I arrived at 6:30 p.m....I found her crying her eyes out, sick with a "cold" she said. She was beet red from head to toe, her face was swollen and she had a resting heart rate of 132. She was too sick to know how sick she was and her roommate was unconcerned and clueless.

When I took her to the emergency room, they swept her past people bleeding from the head, others with obviously broken limbs, and determined she was almost comatose from a severe allergic reaction to a sulfa drug her doctor had prescribed the day before for a sinus infection. The doctor said if I had not arrived she would have soon "gone to sleep" and she would have died. She had never had a sulfa drug before....

Call it a mother's intuition or ESP, or heavenly intervention....I don't know...

I knew there would be a thread about this today.

:agrin: :devil:

..and where have you been 2 days before HS went down?
;_))

I was just coming to post this right now and then saw your post. Word for worrd.

I was buying traffic!!!!!!

Thanks for reminding me!!! :(

But I knew you would ;)

I guess I was tuned to the wrong "channel" at that time

betcha you know that I'm going to say this too :

Great minds think alike ;)
:devil:

Jinx. Owe me a coke!

I really was going to post those exact words. So now I am interested.

Is this some sort of cosmic coincidence or is it something that a number of us might think to post?
Am I "on the same wavelength" as Nick?
Are we both tuned to the same bat "channel"?
How likely is it that I am not telling the truth?
Would you believe me if I told you?
Is it possible Nick and I have formed a psychic conspiracy?

hmmmmm

Am I "on the same wavelength" as Nick? ...............probably but its am :)
Are we both tuned to the same bat "channel"?............ wihout a doubt :)
How likely is it that I am not telling the truth?.......... almost definitely depending on what your perception of truth is :)
Would you believe me if I told you?..............unlike :)
Is it possible Nick and I have formed a psychic conspiracy? :...............if it will make money...yes :)


:devil:

Nick, I'm telling the truth and here is how you will know I am telling the truth.

I swear on money! :gbounce:

"almost definitely" needs to be updated with this in mind.

You are serious then!!! :wnw: :wnw:

If you think you believe in psychics you might want to read a couple books by James Randi before using their revelations to make any major decisions. He will give 1 million dollars to anyone who can prove they have psychic powers, so far after 20+ years no one has come close to winning.

check out his web site:
James Randi Educational Foundation

click on "Books and Videos", my favorite book is called
"Flim-Flam! Psychics, ESP, Unicorns, and other Delusions."

I have dreams that come true on a lot of ocassions, not sure if I'd read much in to that although it does kind of creep me out!! :yowsa:

You fools, all you have to do is order up some chinese food and look in your fortune cookie....duh! :huh:

strange, I knew I was going to type that before I typed it :zoinks:

FREAK!!!!!! :blink:

Cool! What's your email address?

colin@pleasurelabs.com

FREAK!!!!!! :blink:

Bet ya didn't see that coming!! :P[/b][/quote]
I knew you were going to say that :blink:

How often do people get a feeling something bad is going to happen and then put on their seatbelt?
I do that all the time. Nothing bad ever happens.

But you'll remeber the time you hit the truck.

I believe mediums mention 40 names (of potential people that may be wishing to communicate)

Human nature is such you remmber the one name.

:devil:

Well ya know, the seconds it took you to put on your belt detered you from that horrible accident you missed by only that many seconds....hehehe :nyanya:

I believe in coincidence. I believe in 'gifts'. I believe in a cosmic force ruling our lives. However, I don't believe that Shok knew that Sherie was going to say that. :gbounce:

i however did not know anyone would say anything.
