    As you know, I consider this blog a sharing of psychic information and stories. I will also share some family things and yet still tie them in to the aspect of spirits. Today, however, you are going to get just what the title implies. Random Ramblings. This is what happens when you have a mind like mine that has all sorts of things in it-you go all over the board. So, without anymore hesitation, sit back, and enjoy the show.

    Let’s start with commercials. You’ve all seen the one commercial about that little pill men can take. The one in particular I’m talking about is where the couple is in the kitchen, they touch hands, give each other a look, and all of a sudden, the kitchen starts flooding (that would do it for my mood-call a plumber). The kitchen magically starts to transform itself into a tropical island. Somehow, they get separated during this whole process, so now we see her sitting with her pants rolled up on a rock across a stream, and here he is, coming across on rocks that are growing right in front of him. (no, no alluding on that one-ya think?). There they sit, side by side, and then the next scene we see, is a beautiful sea shot, with the couple holding hands sitting in separate bathtubs on the beach. Yup, just what I always wanted to do, go to a tropical island, make whoopeee, then sit in a bathtub on a beach. I bet you can’t wait to do that either. I mean, I understand they can’t show everything, but a tub on a beach??? What will they think of next?

    Then, we have the more serious side of things. Remember in the last couple of years, the supposed new age guru? The one who had the sweat lodge that actually killed people. You don’t hear much about him now. But, can I ask a couple of questions? How does a man have that much control over people that they didn’t want to leave because they might hurt his feelings. People had paid money for this event. In something that I read, a man said that he had left the lodge, and then had returned so as not to disappoint the guru. In another article I read, a reporter had asked this guru point blank questions regarding this sweat lodge. In reading the answers, this guru never answered any of the questions. It was amazing! I had also read where the guru had stood in the entranceway to the lodge, not letting anyone out. I’m sorry, but I have had the pleasure of being in a sweat lodge-I’ve never been told I couldn’t leave, and have never had something inside the sweat lodge that made me so sick it almost killed me. I am so sorry for the loss of life that this man brought around.

    Animal cruelty-why would anyone want to hurt these beautiful creatures? I have a dog and 5 cats. I love them like they were like my kids-yet there are some really sick people out there that will buy animals or even steal animals to put then into fights. They starve them, then make them mean. Why? My dog is part lab, part boxer, and part pit bull. She is the sweetest, most loving dog in the world. She will lick you to death rather than attack you. Anyone watch television last night? There was a show on one of the channels about midgets who had put together a pit bull rescuing business. It was a pretty cool show. And the dogs were the sweetest things.

    And what about cats? We’ve all read the stories about people who end up with 100 cats in their homes. Cats who they don’t take care of. Why in the world would you have so many cats in the first place? And what about putting birth control in the animals food? Wouldn’t that help to stop the ongoing problem of too many? For breeders, you could make food without birth control, and for those of us that want it, make it for the rest of us. Oh, wait, that would put a whole industry out of work.

    Anyone notice that email spam has changed? I used to get all sorts of email telling me I could make my woman happy tonight-just email them back and they’ll send me out (for a pretty good price, of course) nice little pills that will make me grow 10 inches. I know it’s called spam for a reason, but do you think they could have at least looked at my gender before they sent me that stuff? Um, no thank you, don’t need any of that. Now, spammers and hackers have found a new way. Unsuspecting people will get some type of email from a friend, with no note, just a link. You hit the link, and it sends you somewhere and if you don’t have enough viral protection, guess what, you end up with a bug. I’ve found the best thing to do is hit that nice little button that says delete! It works wonders.

    And in our area, speaking of bugs, we have a paranormal group where every time you go into their site, you end up with some type of bug. Again, if you don’t have the right protection, you’re going to end up with lots of trouble. And while we’re on the subject of various groups-isn’t it amazing how so many people will belittle everyone else to prove they are the best. Having done psychic readings for years, my feeling is if you like me, I appreciate it. But if you don’t, then obviously we are not meant to be in each other’s lives. I believe we will have the people in our lives that we are supposed to have. And yes, sometimes they will be in our life for a short period of time. Years ago, I had a very good friend in the psychic community. I became friends with someone she didn’t like-hated even-and that ended our friendship. I can’t fault her for what she did, but I will fault her for talking about me to everyone after the fact. Sometimes, the best thing you can do, is not talk. I ended up getting on with my life, and I haven’t looked back. I will always wish the best for this person, because that is how I am.

    Kids-now how many of you have funny stories to tell-as 3/4 of the world just put their hands up and waved wildly. I have had such an interesting road with my children. You’ve read things here before. Denise and Dave just bought a house over in Greece, NY. They just moved in last weekend. I don’t have any grandchildren yet, but I do have my granddog and grandcat. Asia and Bowtie! They have a large fenced in backyard for Asia. But Asia being her wandering self, found a hole in the fence. Imagine my daughter’s surprise when she looked out front and saw her dog staring back in at her! LOL. They patched up the fence post haste. Then there’s my Susie-Q. She’s presently living her life-she has a job and a boyfriend. She’s happy. And her car doesn’t roll anymore. Don’t ask, her last car had issues. She’d park it somewhere and you’d look out-it had rolled 5 ft.! And then there’s Paul. He’s living back home with his dad. He had been living with Denise and Dave before they moved-but it was decided that Paul should move somewhere else-now maybe I’ll get a grandchild!! Not hinting or anything, of course. He’s got his girlfriend. And he’s not shy. He and I work at the same retail store. I often wonder why people say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to the 2 of us. (gazing innocently at all of you)!!!!

    Well, that’s it for my ramblings. Hope you enjoyed the avenues we went down. I know it was all across the board from really strange to very serious. I guess you never know what I’m going to come out with next :)

    Till next time.

    Winter Thoughts

    2010 - 05.04

    But while this winter wasn’t a bad one, it was definitely different. And one of the things I noticed this year was the spirit activity. Because we live in a haunted house, we always have some type of spirit activity. Whether it’s human, animal, or entity. Most of the spirits here are family and friends. But because both Joe and I are mediums, we also attract spirits that are just passing through. It’s like they see us almost as a lighthouse with a beacon that shines a bit brighter than some. That beacon of light tells them we can see and hear them. So they stop in to say hi, say hello to our live in spirits and either decide to visit awhile or just keep going.

    At Christmas time, we seem to get a lot more spirits-they enjoy the festivities of the season. They seem to be attracted to the lights. But one of the interesting things is they also seem to be attracted to those of us that get depressed this time of year. Are they here to cheer us up? Or were they depressed in life? I would have to say a little of both. I’ve had some spirits passing through here that thought they were on Comedy Central. And then, of course, you have the smart alec ones. They are the ones with the one liners. To those of us that can hear them, it’s really funny. We had one spirit here that we used to call drop dead Fred. His energy seemed to speak of a man in life who was probably depressed most of the time, but kept the depression at bay by always being funny. He hadn’t changed much in death. But he hated to be called Drop Dead Fred. I had given him that name and he finally yelled at me one day about it. Kept telling me, my name is Fred damnit!!!! Just plain Fred. So when I said ok, Just Plain Fred, well, you can guess. :)

    The other interesting thing about this past winter was the 3-4 day blizzard we had. Now, it wasn’t a constant blizzard. But it would snow like crazy, we’d snowblow the driveways, go back inside, get warmed up, relax. And then would look out the window a few hours later, yep, you guessed it, more snow. I think we cleaned out about 3-5 times from Friday-Monday. Finally that Tuesday, we looked out and saw sunshine.

    But the spirit activity during that time of the blizzard was the most intriguing. Do spirits feel cold or do they just have a memory of it? I found during those 4 days of on again off again snow that our spirit activity really picked up inside the house. We had a lot more just stop in and stay awhile. They would look outside and say things about it looking cold out there-but they would never say they actually felt the cold. When I would ask, they’d look at me like I was crazy and say have you been outside lately. Um, yes, thank you I have, I just finished the driveway. So I never did get a straight answer. But my thought is that what they feel is the memory of it. When they were alive, if it snowed, it was cold. Now, whether they can feel it or not, they still have the memory of it feeling cold.

    But like I said at the beginning, it’s spring here. We’ve cut the grass several times, the leaves are out on the trees, the forsythia bush has flowered, the apple tree has flowered, we’re waiting on the spirea bush. And our lilacs are beautiful. Even the 2 small bushes we planted last year are flowering.

    So, everyone have a good spring. Enjoy the nice weather. And say hello to the spirits as they pass through.

    Till next time.,
