A friend of mine, the woman who helped me see my farts, has recently gotten into numerology. She offered to do my numbers for me, and I am sharing the result with you, because, really, isn’t it always about me? I think it was pretty accurate.

Life path # 7 (what you need to fulfill to be happy)

-spiritual energy –need to have faith in your life-need strong spiritual base-have natural psychic ability-meditation helps you use the ability wisely-can have a lethal tongue & mental steel door(if you don’t want someone in your life you’ll shut the door & that’s the end)-love of natural beauty, especially water, helps get you out of your head since you think too much-good at technical work-work is your passion-can excel at astrology & tarot card reading-also like to have an air if secrecy-need your own space.

Soul # 9(what you feel inside, not necessarily what others see)

-fulfilled by resolved old family issues that have caused pain

-by living in the moment

-by making a good living that involves contributing to humanity.

This is a bit of a challenge to your life path so may take some extra work.

Personality # 1 (the face you show the world)

-independent, self-motivated, must take the lead.

-do well being self-employed, do not enjoy taking orders.

-well meaning advice can be valuable, be open to suggestions.

Power name # 1 (the strength of your name-lets us know who you are)

-strong desire to be the best, strive for excellence.

-find healthy ways to relieve stress- a sport, work out etc…,

Destiny # 8 (characteristics that will show themselves in your lifetime)

-before you leave the planet, your destiny is to attain financial security.

-learn to understand the illusory nature of money

-you are here to learn the universe will meet your needs

-key is to keep sense of humor & stay focused on your goals, and then you will get what you really want out of life.

This is a challenge to your life path #, so it will take a little longer to express itself. If you wish, you can change or alter the spelling of the name you go by so that your current power name is the same as the destiny #.

Attitude # 2 (first impression)

-easygoing, the observer, intrigued with anything regarding psychic ability

-in touch with intuition & the metaphysical

Repeating # 1 – strive to be the best at everything you do, must overcome the little voice in your head that repeats ‘not good enough’…You are!!

Happy Thursday as Kristabella would say. That’s because we Canucks already did our Thanksgiving last month. For you feasting freaks this month, I hope you have a holiday surrounded by loved ones, and lots of help cleaning up after the embarrassingly huge meal.

I’m grateful that I can make a living doing what I love. I’m grateful that there are still people reading my drivel. And some of the people who wandered in from wherever have even contacted me for a reading. Double bonus. The only way it would be better was if they also commented.

Those ads? The big honking ones over there? They pay my hosting fees and a little bit. With the other little bit, I bought me some new headers, because everybody knows that I totally suck at PhotoShop.

I have a Christmas header that I can’t wait to bust out, but it will have to wait until Dec 1. Followed in January by my new winter header. Try to contain yourselves.

I feel a bit bleagh today. The Psychic Power Network informed me that today would be wicked busy on the phones, but I haven’t had a single call yet. Now I’m wondering if all my repeat clients call me from work. Well, I know some of them do, but on their cell phones. Work which they would not be at on Thanksgiving.

I’m thinking the busy part might be from people who are wicked lonely on a holiday, wishing a certain someone was thinking of them. They call me to ask about these things. They hang up rather abruptly if the answer isn’t what they want to hear. I hate that. So rude. I’m grateful for the money, though.

That’s it. Go get stuffed.

I mean that in the best possible, food-related way.

Dan asks:
Is there no ‘toilet break’ option when your in the queue? Seems a bit ‘unfair’ not to allow you guys that!

witchypoo replies: Since I’m an independant contractor, I can do what I like, but I haven’t figured out the algorithm of how the available psychics get shuffled, and I don’t want to mess with it. Every 15 minutes, there is a shuffle on the website. If my bio isn’t on the first page, I try to do something away from the phone, but I have a lot of repeat business, and that is where the odds will catch you with your drawahs down ;)

Marie of Memarie Lane asks: i’d like to know more about the test readings and such you alluded to before. we always assume that phone readings are trickery, so i’m curious about how psychics are authenticated.

witchypoo sez: I did one evaluation reading for the line I’m currently on. I applied to another that gets more calls because that way, I can leave the house occasionally (having more money in my pocket, thus being logged on less). The second network I applied to gets far more traffic, and pays better, but I had to go through a lot of hoops. There were four evaluation readings, one of which lasted an hour and 15 minutes. Most lasted 30 minutes. If you made it after the first one, you went on to the next, and so on. I expect they evaluate a number of things,like professionalism, skills, and demeanor, and compare the readings to be sure you aren’t spouting the same old stuff to each client. Then they do an overall assessment, and you are supposed to hear back in 48 hours. I’m expecting to hear back soon. It’s a long process. This is plan B. I don’t have much of a plan C.

I got the golden email stating that the psychic network I am not allowed to name has accepted me. Yay! It will be another 2-3 weeks until I can log on, and again, another two weeks until I receive a paypal deposit. The networks seem to hold back a week to start. 2009 may be the one to show me some money. Won’t the clients be surprised to hear me say oot and aboot if I’m a US based Psychic? Oh, wait. Canadians have taken over.

I doubt that any of the psychics on the second network totally suck if they had to go through all the same razzamatazz that I did.

The fabulous commentluv contest was a winner all round. There was one winner on my site, but I earned the moniker Jammy Cow for bringing in six, count em, six prizes.

A lot of new readers came to my blog because of the contest. Some of them were generous with their stumbling as well. I hope that everyone who entered and participated in the contest found it as beneficial as I did.

I’m still working on getting Zoe’s blogspot site installed with commentluv. The problem is on the JS-Kit site. It will retrieve her comments, but fails to write them. I have been trying various things such as using the original blogger feed rather than the feedburner redirect, but so far, no joy. I’ve been waiting for JS-Kit to get back to me. It seems they were recoding the core all week.

I’ve also been playing with my site, upgrading Wordpress, upgrading my theme, and then pasting the modified CSS into the new theme so things look like my site. If you look at the original theme, you would see quite a difference.

All of this is because there is a bug in my wordpress theme code. Don’t worry, it isn’t catching. But this bug prevents me from altering my plugin settings, and I have been trying to find a workaround so I can use the fabulous new Twitter plugin from the equally fabulous Andy Bailey, who brought us the commentluv plugin and the contest.

For some reason, right now it only works for me on this post. Go over there and see if it works for you, will you? You’ll see it’s working if a little twitter bird shows up after your comment.

Thanks, Andy, for the great plugins and the great contest!

I expect I am going to be doing some housekeeping on this site. There has been an upgrade to my original theme, which was modified beyond recognition. I’m hoping that the bug fixes will allow me to install the twitter plugin that Andy has been engrossed in last week.

If things look wonky, it is temporary. I have backups.

You may now return to your regular programming.
