Just venting a bit of delayed steam here. REally don't know why this didn't bother me yesterday evening, but it's bothering me today.
Yesterday during the day when I was out there reading, I had an elderly female client. She was terribly, terribly vain about her appearance, and her money and her wardrobe, mentioning them all a *lot* of times.
I never ask names - they tell me if they want me to know, and most people simply don't think to give me a name. I asked my usual sit-down question: "Do you have a particular subject in mind, or just a general reading and see what comes up?"
I should never have asked.
She had a single subject in mind.
She asked me - twice - if her husband (thereinafter consistently referred to as "the old coot" was going to die before her and not get to grab all her money. That being said, he had money of his own that she really wanted to grab when he died, but even though she had no children or living relatives and she was supposedly happy with him, she didn't want to leave him a cent, therefore he had to go before her. I tried to explain about making a will where she leaves her money to her best friend or a charity, but she's too mean - I think she wanted it to line her coffin with.
I prevaricated. I'm not the kind of reader who's comfortable investigating issues like whether an absent husband will pre-decease a present wife. Instead, I decided to do a health reading for her, in the hope that I could justify it as being relevant to her question given that her husband wasn't around to contribute his energy to the reading and I couldn't read him long-distance.
Rather to my distress, the cards seemed to point to a robust constitution and longevity for her.
I hope I haven't sparked off a Mad Poisoner. (I rather feel she may have been thinking about things like that already).
Honestly, there's not many clients I actually actively dislike ...

I also don't expect it would matter too much what you said to her as people only hear what they want to hear anyway. Goodness knows what that means for her....or 'the old coot'
