Feelin’ lucky?

I’ll have answers. And predictions. And maybe a number or two. To use at your own discretion.

(Disclaimer: I can’t affirm or guarantee any outcomes. But I don’t charge a per minute remittance. Ain’t you lucky? 😉)

First cognition: coming through…slowly, I see, I see: not one person will respond to this thread and Aunt Edna hid the priceless silver button hook stuck to the bottom bureau drawer.

I know, I know. It’s a gift.

How do you know they don’t? They wouldn’t _tell_ you, or lotteries would all be cancelled.

Not fooled. No psychic would ever tell us about something practical like where the silver button hook is.

“I’m sensing there is someone who is important to you. Their name begins with the letter M. Who could this be?”

“Mom?”

“That’s it!”
