Palm readings?

[placidfemme]

There is this chick at my work who has been working here for about 2 years now, but she's spent most of the time working in our branch in China, and has recently returned to NZ to work for us here.

A few other staff members have told me (during our smoko break) that she reads palms and that she is very accurate... and they all say I should let her read my palm...

I spoke to her about it, and she said she senses that I don't trust her ability to read my palm (well duh doesn't take a pshycic (sp) to assume that), and that when I'm ready I should go to her and she'll read my palm...

Now I don't really believe in this sort of thing, but am curious to hear what she has to say...

What do you think? Have you ever had your palm read?

[Edit] Tried to add a poll but something went wrong lol

SO did she say when that would be..

Oh, hang on, I guess she would have to read your palm to know that.

yep ------- [it was back when peer pressure could make me do stuff like that .. lol] got there on time, had to wait 15 mins ....spent the time stalking resentfully up and down outside ['cause i really didn't want to be there] - went in, sat down, gave her my hand and was told "ah - i see you don't handle frustration well ......" collapsed laughing - i mean, wow, how could she possibly have known that?
Seriously, if you grant that she probably knows a heap about you already and are prepared to treat it as fun & not the delphi oracle why not?

I don't think she knows that much about me... she doesn't speak english very well and as mentioned has worked at our China branch most of the time... only the last 2 weeks has she spent in our department... and I've spoken to her maybe... twice (including today's questions about her ability) and thats it...

*is very curious*

I'll let ya'll know how accurate she is if I do it

My sister talked me into going with her when I was in my 20s and at first I was quite amazed at how right she seemed to be, but then when you think about it, a lot of it was general. She said the guy I was going out with at the time wasn't the right one for me (score one point for that!) but she said I would marry a man who had been married before (but it wouldn't be on the rebound, it would be true love ) and would have four children. Years later I went out with a guy who had two kids and wondered if he was 'the one' but he wasn't. Here I am, many years later, married to a guy who had never been married before, neither of us has kids and we don't plan on having any! She also told me that I was about to undertake a long journey (true - I was flying to Whakatane to drive my parents down to Wellington in their car) and that an older person would die suddenly on that trip. My sister was really freaked out by that and didn't want me to go - but I am one of those people who believes in the good superstitions and just ignores the bad, so I didn't take any notice of either of them. That was in 1986 and my father died of cancer in 2001 and my mother is still going strong.

I think they are a bit like horoscopes - meant to be taken with a grain of salt. Fortune telling of any kind fails to take into account free will - if you were told you were going to have five kids and you didn't like kids, would you have to go ahead and have them because it was your 'fate'? Nah, I wouldn't bother unless you feel like a laugh.

oooohhhhmmm oooohhhmmm I see something in your future....

You are about to be misled by a well intentioned idiot....

Don't bother! Your future is one of abject poverty as you crave bigger, flasher, faster motorbikes and never quite seem to have enough $$ to get what you need. (or think you need)

If she read my palm she would see I have cracks in my personality and a deep seated obsesion with filth.

The lyrics of a Rod Stewart song explain it best for me - ''The stars in the sky mean nothing,to you,they are a mirror'' - these things have no effect upon us whatsoever....but you can see some interesting reflections of our personality....

A friend of mines father wrote a book on palmistry,he had them printed and he bound them himself....I still have a signed one around somewhere.Anyway,we were sitting around one night with our friend and she read our palms,cause,y'know,her father wrote this book....we were in our mid 20s at the time,we had one baby,she about 4.She said she was going to have some stupid unbelievable amount of kids,and we were going to have a lot too,but nowhere near as many as her...rubbish.She has had 10 kids and we have 4 - I don't know the numbers she said at the time,but it seemed a crazy amount,I think 4 is enough....

[mstriumph]

hmmmm - but your workmates have obviously been chatting to her - and there's probably general chat in the office ..... would be happy to know how you got on if you do it, curiosity gets the better of most of us from time to time!

[placidfemme]

Another thing how come pshycics don't read the future and buy the winning lotto numbers? I would if I could lol and thats proberly why I can't...

My lil sister has hands with the lifeline and the head and heart lines all fused into one

ya know.. "butterfly effect" type.


Every now and then when I'm visiting and we go to the circus / fair / whatever is on, I'll pay for her to go to a palm reader just to see the look on thier faces.
