am i psychic?

I ask this question based on a recent interaction at a local restaurant: You be the judge though...

Sitting at the bar I noticed a few of the employees milling around and felt like I was getting something from one... at least enough to tell her I was going to play psychic. As most people do, she seemed fine with it, perhaps even interested. So I began telling her what I was "getting"...

My first guess was that she had two brothers, correct. 1/1

Second guess was that one was older and one younger, correct. 2/2.

She seemed a little shocked and perhaps more interested and asked me to tell her if she had children. I said no, but she said she had two daughters, 2/3. But, in my mind I hadn't really said I was getting anything to offer about kids. I asked if they were twins and she said "no", 2/4.

After a little bit of time and thinking about what I was getting I had two more thoughts.

Her father doesn't really know her daughters (I thought b/c he might have passed away)...and she opened her eyes wide and said yes, 3/5. I didn't get the reason, but it sounded like he was alive and the story pretty complicated.

Next was that she was in love with someone, but it was not with the father of her children, correct. 4/6. She said she might be working out/figuring out relationships with two men. I said one was a man she works with. While it wasn't a man at the restaurant, it is someone she records music with, 5/7.

A bit more time went by, but I got something about Paris. I thought she might have traveled there. She had not traveled there but was looking into to travel there to record music... maybe I get a half. 5.5/8. She also seemed a little shocked I could bring it up.

I said I'd never had thoughts that look forward, nor this good of a run. She indicated someone else had told her that her aura was very strong and I actually had to agree. I'd never latched on to a stranger like that before. Latched on as a normal creep/stalker, sure...but not b/c I was getting so many impressions.

I left it alone from there but introduced myself and said goodbye as we left. Sarah gave a firm handshake and thanked me for visiting. No free drinks though, nuts.

 

So, what do you think? Should I work on honing my skills? Or maybe don't quit my day job just yet?

The end of an evening

Pretty cool way to be done with a night out

Malmo, Sweden

Would you like to live in a city like this?

PS - No, I don't have the correct Swedish language character to spell "Malmo" properly in my subject.

A sure sign of Spring.

Read's Landing Brewing Company, MN

A great stop when you're coming up Hwy 61. Good food, good beer and great views out the front door.

Watch it!

Wise Acre Eatery, MPLS

 

A very comfortable, cozy, unpretentious farm-to-table type place with great food and a friendly staff. And don't forget to go on a weekeday when the menu offers special items not normally available on the weekends.

Update #1: Admitting the problem is the first step...

This is what I wrote some time ago about my cellphone addicition:

...This is not easy for me, but some of you already know; I am addicted to cell phones. As a quick exercise while the 14.5” of snow fell yesterday, I listed out all the phones I've owned at one time or another. I believe this goes back to the year 2000, maybe 1999. I know I got the first one at the AT&T store in the ghetto-esque stripmall by Cabrini Green (where Clybourne, North, Sedgewick, and Larabee meet). In no particular order (wait, I always have a particular oder), they are:

Nokia
6030
6590 (2)
E62
9300
3360
5140
8210 (all time favorite)
Panasonic
g51m (that super small one)
Samsung
x495
Motorola
Unidentified (found it on Navy Pier)
Razr
Rokr w385 (work)
RIM
BlackBerry 7300 (work)
Sony Ericsson
w300i
s710a (hand me down)

And I now want to update this list with the following:

Apple

iPhone 3G - pretty cool if you used iTunes a lot... at the time
iPhone 5 - as of March 2013 - it's been like seeing an old friend

HTC

Aria - total crap

Motorola

Atrix - not a bad little phone

Samsung

Captivate from the Galaxy S Series - junk

Galaxy S III (current, c.2013) - warrantied twice already, geting help from AT&T can be challenging at times.

21 in total now and I may be forgetting one or two. I had thought that my addiciton had slowed in the recent years, but perhaps not so much.

Who trusts me?

Did you ever set-up an account for yourself at WhoTrustsYou.com?

 

I did a number or years ago after reading the book that goes with the site, The Speed of Trust, by Stephen Covey.

Thing of it is, I keep getting people that somehow find and take my survey every quarter or so, but I have no idea how they find my link anymore.

Weird, and kind of intriguing.

 

These are my current results based on what others see:

 

Here's What Others Say

Character:

84%

 

Competence:

84%

Others Trust You:

90%

You Consistently Interact in a Way that Builds Trust:

86%

 

Your "Trustability" with Others:

86%

 

86%... that seems like a solid "B" to me.

I'll take it.
