So I get dragged into the stupid offices of blah blah behavioral blah blah and so and so.

And they sit me down with some woman, you could tell that she was crazy and didn't know it by the way, I guess sitting behind a desk and getting paid for it will do funny things to your perception over time.

So anywho, that's not the important part, the important part is that she asks to see my palms, I had no Idea why due to the endless mountain of secrets that we are all climbing. So, I show her my palms, she takes a look, and then something funny happened.

She took one look, and then with an intense anxious sort've surprised and terrified look she raises her head. Not much was said after that, nothing really, and we left. I mean, what in the blank happened? What was that all about?!

I've always wondered why a palm reader fortune telling woman was working at the behavioural blah blah so and so.

And she was no help at all by the way.

Maybe she got all upset 'n stuff because up to that point, she was quite sure *she* had the softest hands on the planet.

scare tactics. They are trying to say you are pretty blanked up, so that you will get it into your head to conform to whatever it is they are trying to get you to conform to. They do it on me all the time, I understand the behind the scenes because my mom took up palm reading. And she tries that stuff too. We already know the people are shocked by who we are and by what we are here to do, and they also know that outisde of 72 hour hold, or hoping the cops hold us on a warrant, there's nothing they can do. They are merely left with the tactics you just described, welcome to the stalemate between sz and culture.

That's funny areyoukiddingme, down right a fantastic joke.

I didn't know what she was trying to say really onderdonk, I didn't really care either to tell you the truth, it was just weird though.

I should have spoke up and asked what she was doing though, Ill have to remember that.
