What happened to Menopausal Mama, Run Don't Walk i.e. has anybody here seen Kelly?

Perhaps I do exploit vulnerable people. But do they queue up to be exploited.
No, I think the psychic lines provide a service. A few people become addicted but then a few become addicted to drink and gambling and no one blames the publicans or the bookies.
Capitalism exploits the vulnerable. Not that I'm politically inclined, I'm just repeating something I heard Bonnie and her late husband say.
And we all know about Primark but we still shop there. And I did try giving up buying cosmetics that test on animals but it's far too easy to succumb to something pretty in Boots.
I've spent enough on psychic lines in the past but I'm over that bad phase in my life now. The lines helped, provided a temporary distraction if nothing else.
What about smoking? Still goes on, kills people, apart from fleecing them.
"I have nothing to reproach myself for." I think that's what Pavarotti's second wife said, to justify him leaving his first missus for her. "Anyone who has ever been in love, knows that love has no reason," she added. How mature, how true.
I think I gotta stop visiting the badpsychics

Nice day.
The Jay's and their daughter, Lamorna, came visiting. We had lunch at a garden centre place with meercats,(I mean, we didn't eat with the meercats, they were in their cage having their own food) then walked round olde-worlde Cheshire town and church.
Then came home. Bit of work on tomorrow's speech for Renowned Tutor, bit more Youtubing and Facebooking, not to mentioning 'debating' on Badpsychics.com. Technology! I've said it before, I'll say it again, it's the Devil's time-wasting spawn.
Oh, and last night. Went with Blue Eyes to see TRextasy (TRex tribute band). Turned out they were cancelled so we saw Bootleg Blondie instead.
Great fun. Especially the fifty-year old men pogo-ing.

Leonard Cohen - "It's, as I say, a desire to affirm my faith in life, not in some formal religious way but with enthusiasm, with emotion.... It's a rather joyous song." ~ Leonard Cohen, creator of the song, Hallelujah. He says: "I wanted to write something in the tradition of the hallelujah choruses but from a different point of view... It's the notion that there is no perfection ~ that this is a broken world and we live with broken hearts and broken lives but still that is no alibi for anything. On the contrary, you have to stand up and say hallelujah under those circumstances."

I sort of liked above. Always did like Leonard Cohen and this is such a great song. I'm 'avin' it at me funeral. I'd never actually heard it, until I went to Ireland in April, for a wedding, and some drunks were singing it in the bar.

I actually like the Alexandra one's version' it's very dramatic.

.... half way thru' a bottle of the Co-op's best red.
Now have respectable 2.1 degree.
It's only took about 40 years.....

Was chatting to my mate, Celebrity Psychic, on Facebook last night. I don't know her that well, had a reading with her once at a psychic fair and have been to a couple of the courses she runs. Nice lady and she's turned up on my Facebook.
The BBC, she tells me, are making a film about the psychic lines saving the NHS thousands. People won't go to counsellers but they will ring us. I know this for fact because I often suggest a counselling number to clients but they seldom take it up.

I so am.
Had to phone renowned drama tutor today.
Don't like phoning him. He's very busy and can be terse on phone. Still, I did. My query got answered, next thing he's all charming (very gay) and says, "I was talking about you last night. I was saying how wonderful you are, and how brave you are, and how successful you're going to be."
As I said, I am made up.
How on earth can those sceptics not believe in God.
"Stick with him" advised Bonnie. I so will. He has trained a lot of well-known actors.
"And don't say, 'oooh well you haven't heard Monday's monologue yet and oooh, you might take a different point of view when you do.'
He might. Monday's monologue is extremely difficult and I'm surfing the net, as I said, when I should be working on it.
Delphine impressed and said his help worth more than a good degree.
But I'm still hoping for a 2.1.
