Hi Chris,

In life we can choose to answer to the beat of someone else's drummer or stand up for ourselves and beat our own drum. When one gives up self to surrender to others in an attempt to placate or be something other than what they are, then they would eventually have no sense of being for wishing to please everyone, all of the time.

As for my psychic housewife post, it was a humorous way of saying how much I loathe the connotations at times of which I am sometimes labeled. Though I don't really mind being psychic because it gives me a leading edge over most of the people most of the time, those who don't understand its benefits tend to be fearful of people who possess this skill and therein lies the problem. But I can state emphatically that hearing ear tones is not a psychic experience. I know because I am psychic and no psychics I know hear them exclusively, nor do non-psychic people become psychic so they can hear them.

There is a problem, a powerful problem, its called earthquakes and they kill people. Earthquake prediction if one looks at the whole of what various people, groups or instruments have to offer can be solved, however, the divisions of people will always exist and therefore the whole cannot be seen. I would at times like to say to some, "look here" that's all. But I cannot because the ears will not listen.

In a matter so serious a consortium of all parties at interest should come together and have all of their cards on the table. Anyone who has anything to offer should be "included" never excluded. Three with profound knowledge can then include or exclude the parts of which can be used.

I have taken a pause to think of what I would do if I had an ear tone for a 7.0 quake which I thought was going to strike the west coast. I have to think about the people first. I cannot be wrong as that is not an option, but to be right certainly has its list of problems as well. I have a well thought out plan and chaos in not in there, thank goodness. But as for giving the people nine months or 180 days to prepare, well, its not going to be like that. It may be as little as 45 minutes to ten days. So I have to choose who will know. That's what it boils down to because I can't warn a city and all of the problems which could ensue. But I promise you I will never predict a 7.0 earthquake on this board. If anyone wishes to be included in my warning e-mail list, then they have to let me know.
