In an unsurprising failure for Sylvia Browne...

[Cogwheel]

my wife turned 26 today.

This vile woman (Sylvia Browne, not my wife!) had the gall to tell my mother-in-law that her daughter wouldn't live to see her 26th birthday. Luckily my wife didn't buy it when her mom passed it along! :jaw-dropp

Congratulations to your wife.

Got any more details on the reading your mother-in-law got from the claws?

[grayman]

Perhaps your mother-in-law has another daughter she doesn't know about.

A transcript of the reading would be a wonderful edition here, and most welcomed!

[GrandMasterFox]

Perhaps your mother-in-law has another daughter she doesn't know about.

Or maybe she'll have another one in the future... :eek:

Go with me here, this is a long stretch of the imagination....

Perhaps, just perhaps! Sylvia is full of it. :eek:

[ExMinister]

What an awful thing to say. If your mother-in-law had believed it, to cause months or years of worry for nothing.

[Denver]

The typical psychic's escape here is to say that since the daughter-in-law knew of her future, she was able to change it. So, likely, Sylvia's prediction was framed in language like "If she doesn't change, she won't live to see her 26th birthday."

[Sun Countess]

Cogwheel, can I ask how much your mother-in-law paid for the privilege of this "insight?"

[Belgian thought]

Wish your wife a happy birthday - I had a tarrot reader telling me the same thing, during my teens, years ago in the UK! Should have been long gone, and regardless of my smoking and drinking, am still here....

Unless you chance, Denver, you'll die tomorrow!

We'll see tomorrow if you really changed or not.

What a scum this woman is.

(Sylvia, I mean).

Unfortunately, I only have the second-hand account of this event which occurred about a decade and a half ago.

Congratulations to you and your wife!

A Ouija board told me I would be poisoned by my husband before I reached the age of 45. Several years after my 45th birthday, I am still doing quite well, thank you.

You know, that could be...I sometimes wonder where my kids came from. :D

A Ouija board told me I would be poisoned by my husband before I reached the age of 45.

Perhaps the Ouija board was confused, and thought you were Mrs. Machiavelli. :D

Maybe he's just an inept poisoner.

Or Mrs. Borgia!

Maybe he's just an inept poisoner.

And I thought those cramps I got every month were from something else entirely...

Yep I changed! Locations!

I went to visit the Castle of Aaauuuggghhh...

[HarryKeogh]

Sylvia Browne just called me. She said she meant to say 126, not 26.

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Sylvia Browne just called me. She said she meant to say 126, not 26.

Sylvia Browne just called me too!

It was nice knowing you. I'm sure Joy will find someone else.

[EeneyMinnieMoe]

What a disgusting thing to say! Please wish your wife a happy birthday from me, too.

Robert should use your story for a StopSylvia.com article.

I once had a psychic/palm reader tell me something nearly as revolting when I was 15. She said I'd never marry but that I'd have two children out of wedlock. (To this day, I'm unmarried and have never been married or engaged, have no children and have never even been pregnant. )

She did tell me I'd live to be 93 years old.

All of her other predictions turned out to be untrue, too.

Now, if I die before or after I'm 93, I'm a-going down there and demanding my 5 dollars back! :D

Well, we could make that come true ...;)

She told this to a mother of a 10 year old? How horrible.

[Fnord]

According to a tarot and past-life regression reading I received back in 1988, I was supposed to have taken command in 2000 of a ten-kilometre long starfaring 'Needleship' that I had left in a parking orbit somewhere between Saturn and Uranus in my previous life.

But, danggit! I can't find the keys...

;)

They're always in the last place you look.

Have you tried looking there?

Maybe you left them in the ignition. Also, check above the visor. :D

This vile woman (Sylvia Browne, not my wife!)

Missed your chance to kill two birds with one stone...
