John Edward - psychic or what?

Possibly not stalking, but not nice, either.
This is why your advise was so good, FluffyPersian.
 
I think she's referring to the commenter who mentioned butterflies, possibly referring to her niece's experience with monarch butterflies that Robin discussed here. It may well be a poster or lurker here who followed the link she posted to the Yorktown page. The commenter is pretty abrasive, but I wouldn't call that stalking.



No, Robin told the butterfly story on her own blog, too. Mentioned butterflies several times, actually.

Hey, that's me! My cat Chakotay is stretched out in the windowsill next to me, and I was thinking of going down to open the refrigerator.
That is uncanny! How did he know that?
 
That's nothing.
A cat of mine named Toffee wanted his chin rubbed and I've opened the fridge 3 times this afternoon.
Spooky, nicht wahr?
 
Real spooky, ja.

ETA: is Toffee orange, just like mine? Then the spookiness would really be too much for a coincidence, because I just opened the fridge to pour myself a Jägermeister. Like you knew I'd be walking in with German on my mind.

Unglaubliche spooky.
Toffee IS a marmalade tiger. With honey coloured eyes.
Do you reckon the million is within our grasp?

<gasp>It must be. This is sooo spooky.

Oh, there is something coming through. I see the face of an elderly gentleman to the upper left of you, he shakes his head sadly.
He gives me a word starting with co... con... coin... Does that ring a bell?

Whoa! That is so spooky. Just ten minutes ago I was commenting to my spouse that we needed to pick up some change because we have no 10 Baht coins to make change and I'd thus used up most of our 5 Baht coins yesterday, making change.

And... we have a REFRIGERATOR!

Coinbit!
Of course!
I was wondering about sinking the millions a Nigerian prince is gong to send me into coinbit.

Aren't you glad there are reliable witnesses to this psychic breakthrough?

Now there are four of us, I think?
Shall we get on with changing the world with our psychic powers or take the money and run?

Hah! Take that, other psychics.
We from JETSKI (John Edward Thread Skeptic Clairvoyants Inc) are Credible, Documented and Proud of it!

Nah, we are not in it for the money. That is the only thing we have in common with those fake psychics. We'll just want a modest percentage of every lottery prize we predicted correctly.
 
Have you noticed that generally speaking, lottery numbers somehow evade psychic powers?

No, no, you are missing the point. Every time I predicted them correctly, I was right!




I did not buy tickets, but that is nitpicking.
 
And that does not even get into the issue of how broadly or narrowly you determine if X is a hit (the Mayflower incident is a perfect example).

"No, we weren't moving, but the one of the victim's name was "Flowers" and it happened in May!"

"No, we weren't moving, but I had just picked a bunch of mayflowers when I heard they had been shot!"

"No, we weren't moving, but the victims were Quakers - direct descendants of the pilgrims that came over on the Mayflower!"

...and so on...ad nauseum.

Classic cold reading.

And let's remember what a huge hit this really is...

Huge hit? "Two people passed with a sudden impact. Might have been shot..."

"Might have been..." is the kind of fishing a cold reader does.

Classic cold reading.
