I'm too fat to walk a fine line.

Apologies if this is slightly off topic. What does happen to people who disappear?
As for a name keep it slightly vague so that it does not become meaningless when you expand a little eg QANTAS - Queensland and Northern Tertiary Airline Service is an example where they failed to heed this advice.

Would anyone want to write a guest piece for the blog series about TV psychics and the tricks they use? It would include editing, audience plants, use of earpices, hidden microphones, etc.
Kelly,
If you need anyone to infiltrate any of the New York based TV shows (like Montel), let me know. I'm just a few train stops away. And I love the thought of being an "inside man".![]()
I actually think that getting testimonys from people with experience of the non-results of the frauds is a good idea.
Maybe the new site could have an article section for this purpose?
I'm not getting very many stories at this point. I am wondering if it is because people are
A) embarassed to admit they used psychics
B) afraid the psychic will sue them
C) doesn't want to appear to have closed the door to psychics in case they're for real and one of them could help find their missing loved one
D) feels it is a private issue/decision
E) something else I am not thinking of
Many people who use psychics and get no results make their own excuses for the psychics' failure. Psychics are experts at emotional manipulation. They convince their 'marks' of their own good intentions, often spinning extensive stories of how they have gone through hardship in order to 'help' the people. I would be willing to bet that a lot of the people who have used psychics, even though they have not had any results, feel kindly towards the psychic (or at least some kind of obligation) and do not want to say anything bad about them.
I had a friend who died young, and whose parents, when prayer failed to bring him back to life, blamed themselves for their lack of faith.
This was without prodding from some other party. If the psychic fails to find a child, any doubting at all by the parent may be seized upon by the parasite, to actively cast blame on the parent, induce guilt to motivate further payment, and to keep the leech's record intact..
I think that, once you have a few stories up there, people will see the extent to which the vultures have lied to them, and will eventually open up and share their own stories of victimization by these tapeworms.
I'd like to help in any way possible. This summer marks 10 years since my cousin Morgan Violi was kidnapped and murdered. I remember vividly when my aunt was told that a psychic was interested in the case. I wasn't the hardcore skeptic that I am now, but I never bought into psychic phenomena. I wanted to speak up against the idea, but decided that it wasn't my place.
I've regretted it ever since. I'd like the opportunity to redeem myself. I'll mod a forum, if you have it, or anything else that I could do to help (even if it's just to donate money).
If he's killed once, he'll do it again.
Kelly,
We don't see my aunt much these days as she was married into the family until my uncle (who wasn't Morgan's father) passed away. I have probably only seen her a handfull of times since the tragedy happened, and have been timid to bring the subject up. Yet I have always wondered if she ever went through with the psychic consultation, what was said, and what she thinks of psychics now. Perhaps once the website is launched, I can try to contact her through one of my cousins to let her look and see what she thinks.
That's probably the best I can do on that front at the moment.

OK, first I stink at tech stuff.
Second, I can't print:

without losing the right side last few letters. It might be me.
I did selection out the text to print, but is this my problem or a site problem?
...and I apologize for not reading posts after last Friday, I will later.
Try going to Page Setup in your printer options and narrowing the margins.OK, first I stink at tech stuff.

Kelly, I wanted to let you know that as far as your main goal, bringing a skeptic eye to psychics and the missing, I cannot help. But I know others here will, so that's good.
Instead I have been working on the Come Home part here in Boston. Doing the leg work, and making the calls. Today was actually great. I've made contacts in 2 shelters, and once I'm sure of my footing there, I will find others.
I wish I could help on the skeptic front, but, hey, I'll do what I can.
As always, you pick your battles. This small part is a battle I choose to fight.
Then stop staring at me.
One solution is to change the page to landscape in page setup. Then it will print OK.OK, first I stink at tech stuff.

Another option is to highlight the text, press Cntl C to copy to the clipboard then go to Word and press Cntl V to paste. It will print OK there.
Is that Microsoft's version of saran wrap?You might have to turn on word wrap before printing.
OK, back to business.
re:
Hello Kevin - Thank you for making me aware of the missing persons locator
through "Project Jason" I have forwarded the same information along to

New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans.
Kelly, is there anything else you need regarding this shelter?
Also, I still haven't heard from the other shelter I mentioned. 2 phone calls and one email. I think tomorrow will be a face-to-face meeting. I'll wear a nice tie, and my new super cool raincoat. It makes me feel like Neo in "the Matrix".
