Psychic
Over the weekend we went to an Oktoberfest thing. Besides beer (obviously), they had a magician and a psychic, food, a band, etc. Even though I know it's hokey, I've always wanted my palm read, so I forked over 10 bucks to have it done. (The beer may have aided this decision).
Anyway, she told me various things, long and happy life, promotion coming at work, blah blah blah, and then she asked if I was trying to get pregnant. I said no, and she said "well then be really careful, because I see you becoming pregnant by the end of the year." 
So, I know it's silly, but I must admit I'm a little freaked out by it. And you better believe I'm going to be extra careful now! I may even POAS on Jan 1 just to make sure. (Also, she told me I'll have 3 kids - 2 girls and then a boy. I told DH we'd better start thinking of more girl names!).
Do you believe in psychics?
Re: Psychic
Ba-wa! I really dont know what that is, but it came to my head when thinking about pregnancy.
I've never had a reading or anything like that, so overall I would say I don't believe in them, but if I had a reading and pending on what she said, I might have a little bit of a different train of thought.
I was told by a psychic at my senior bash (a high school thing where they took all of the seniors and locked us all in a YMCA with activities/food/music/etc. from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. overnight) that I would be engaged three times total before I got married, and that one of my fiances would beat me. How's that for setting wonderful expectations for a 17-year-old girl?
I believe in mediums, but I don't know that I believe in psychics. I've never had anyone "predict" anything for me that actually came true. But communicating with the dead? I don't know, I don't have any super convincing real-life examples, but stories I've heard/things I've seen on TV leads me to believe that it could be possible.
A mystery.
But yeah, I wouldn't put any stock in it.

No.
I had 1 tell me I would have 3 kids (2 boys, 1 girl) & the girl was coming "soon". That was 2.5 years ago.
