how convenient. I guess she figured a negative prediction would produce catcalls of "She's a quack", "Who believes this tripe anyway", and "Who are the suckers that buy into this anyway?"

Guess what? I'm still saying it :)

Here, I'll make a prediction too. Your future is what you make it.
There see, and I didn't need a deck of picture cards to come up with this.

Wow, must be a slow news day. Why would there be a news article on the Patch about a con-artist's prediction of the future, along with pictures of the business and her address? Great advertising! I am sure their are lots of legitimate businesses that could provide a good story and could use some free publicity. In fact, that would be a good daily or weekly piece for the site. Definitely a way to get the Patch out to the community while promoting local businesses. But a Psychic? Oh, and I would take the job.

I think it is a positive, fun story from someone right in the community!

I don't have a problem with Emily. I just don't believe in people who say that can tell the future and then charge people for their scam.

Don't be so quick to judge. If you have not had an opportunity to sit down with Alice, I would strongly suggest that you do. Some people were given gifts and she is definitely one of them!

Alice is amazing! Paul and Tim-Really??? Why does someone have to be a "quack" or a con-artist just because you are uncomfortable. Open your mind or close your mouth. Those are the only 2 options I "see".
