When I woke up a few minutes ago I had that song stuck in my head from Sharon, Lois and Braum “Skinna marinky dinky dink”. I don’t think I’ve heard anything about them in many years. My phone just buzzed with a news story and it’s about Sharon being owed money from some promoter.

What are the odds?

You’re psychic of course.;). Do you have any thoughts about me?

A tall, dark, handsome stranger will soon come in to your life - it might be a cat, though.

OMG. You really are psychic.🙂 I will be fostering a cat starting next week after she weans her babies and is spayed. She’s a grey tabby.  
Any thing about lottery numbers comes up, let me know, asap.
