I see. Thanks.

I got Happy Bunny pjs that sort of fit, tons of country CD's, a tie-dye t-shirt kit, & a mirror. I picked out all of my Christmas presents except for the mirror & the Happy Bunny pjs, so there weren't any surprises. My sister's car died, so I don't know what I will get from her yet. Oh yeah, I got a new nephew, too! His name is Willow. He's nine weeks old. He's a Yorkie, & so tiny!

Today I went shopping with my mom (SALES!) because she asked for a new coat for Christmas, and I figured I'd let her pick it out and give it to her Friday when we do our Christmas. So while we're there, I noticed some good women's ski gloves I needed for snowmobiling (I can't hang on with the big bulky gloves) and also some night time lotion that smells good and is for night time relaxing so she put those in the cart to wrap for Friday!

We're so weird!

Weeeellll, if you really want me to Fwan.... Is that your real name? I need that to tell your fortune....

I just tried, using the name fwan. I got some very interesting results. You are searching for financial security, or maybe employment. You are governed by the person potentially providing it. You depend on something or someone(parents maybe?), yet also formidable in personality. You control your own insecurities. They have given you some trouble in the past, but now you have them in check. Depression perhaps?

Well, i tried...

Oh my god!
that is so true!

My Real name is Francesca though

a beautiful watch with matching earrings, another pair of earrings, a looney tunes dvd (I LOVE looney tunes), a spongebob pc game, a $100 gift certificate at my work (bought a pen drive, decent headphones, a game and a new set of computer speakers), a book, and Robbie Williams' new cd

KitEKats4Eva! · Dec 27, 2005

We got some lovely presents and were very spoilt.

We were also given a goat and a chicken! Not for us, but for two separate families in Afganistan. Wonderful presents and a fantastic idea - one which we will emulate next Christmas, definitely.

It was sobering to realise how much a chicken could mean to a family in terms of food, new income and a new start in life. Especially when I know at least five chickens were consumed by my and Max's extended families on Christmas Day, without a second thought, for the most part. It's funny (peculiar) and sad how much I realise I take things in my life for granted.

You know, Bridget, there's a very funny Steven Wright line on that...

He is just my all time favourite comedian!

sofiecusion · Dec 27, 2005

purr · Dec 27, 2005

It'd be cool if you (Joecool) started a thread to practice doing your readings. I wouldn't mind having one, but I don't want to interrupt the present thread.

joecool · Dec 27, 2005

That is a good idea! I will start a thread! LoL, "Free tarot reading with Wesley"

That is awesome that i was right, fran! Well, i suppose the cards knew who i meant, regardless of your actual name.

So, back to presents. Everybody got great stuff!! So neat! im glad i started this thread!

graykittenlove · Dec 27, 2005

Sounds like everybody had a great Christmas.

I got lots of neat stuff:

From my parents
A Cat Calendar - Actually two one for work and one for home. (One of the girls at work gave me one as well.)
Some Work Clothes - Three pairs of slacks, two jackets, and two shirts
Anne Rice's New Book - Christ the Lord - Out of Eygpt (I thinks that's the title)
A hanging heart with a grey cat paint on it and a little statue of grey kitties. (My mom buys me grey kitty stuff.)
A large box of chocolates
Some misc. Health and beauty stuff
Plus some stocking stuffers.

From my cousin and her boyfriend (We go over board at Christmas):
Finding God in Harry Potter by John Granger - I've had my eye on this book for a while.
A Super Nintendo System with six games.
Animal Crossing for Nintendo DS
The New Family Guy Movie - Stewie Griffin's Untold Story
Then a bunch of Harry Potter Wands. - I got the Triwizard set and Professor Snape's Wand

(I am such a Harry Potter Dork.)

Then I got a couple of gift certificates to Best Buy and went and picked up Family Guy Season 4 Box Set and Snood for DS because it was on sale for $9.99.

My Uncle Donny sent me a $25 gift certificate to Walmart.

I'm so spoiled.

When you break them down like that it makes it easier to diagnose each individual card..........Other than that it does take time to learn all of them...I would suggest lots of readings (on yourself)...and numemonic devises....that will help alot.........

As for having to be psychic to read tarot...I believe you have to be....however I think everyone is psychic, and the tarot is a tool to helpyou tap that......

ooooo and a couple of extra hints....NEVER give two readings in a row (on yourself or others) asking the same question.....I find that the deck becomes insulted and always gives muttles readings the second time.....

Next....you may feel drained when you give too many readings at once...This is completly normal...and you will get used to it over time......

Always treat your deck w/ respect.....Name it, personalize it...you will find that it is more accurate that way

If you have other questions you can email me.....

[email protected]

Also, I don't keep mine in a box, I have mine wrapped in whiite silk, they seem to preferbeing in a place that has air. let's face it, tarot cards are serious gossipers.

It is easier to get a reading on someone YOU personally are familiar with than a stranger as well, so not having her real name, but being familiar with her helps, you see?
