What about a rephrasing game? :) First person writes a question like: Will I finish my thesis? I have a lot of trouble with my counsellor. Then, second person rephrases the question like: How can I improve my relationship with my thesis counsellor? Hope you all like this game :) let's start!

Will I ever find my one true love?

TemperanceAngel	28 Sep 2004
Flavio I hope I get this right? My love, one true, will I ever find? was I supposed to add anything else????

Flavio	28 Sep 2004
My idea creting the game is to practice the rephrasing of questions the Querents do and that must be rephrase in order to get a helpful answer from the Tarot, right question, right answer. So in the example the question goes as "will I..?" that is pretty much like fortune telling. Sorry everyone if my explanation of the game was not clear.

How about... What do I need to learn to help me find love?

TemperanceAngel	29 Sep 2004
When am I going to meet Mr. Right? *If I had a dollar for everytime I have been asked that question....sheesh I would be RICH BY NOW!!!!*

littlehermit	29 Sep 2004
I've gotten too many of those too... too bad I'll never get away with this rephrase: Why is it so important to me to know when I'm going to meet Mr. Right?

Goldenhair	30 Sep 2004
Oh ... I like that! ROFLOL!!

Good one, Flavio! :laugh: What about "Will I get sick?" I was asked that one last week...was having a bad day, so I just felt like telling the silly hypochondriac (bad spelling, I know) to ask a doctor or someone similar... Better Question: "Why do I fear getting sick?" :) Raeven

(I'm in the process of eating popcorn..can you guess?)

rosesred	15 Nov 2004
what can I do to eat less popcorn and more vegatables ;) Why can't I lose weight (heard that one today)

Lurea	15 Nov 2004
hehe--imagine getting one of those luxuriant, slightly chubby Empresses surrounded by food as an answer to that question! :D What does so-and-so think of me? :rolleyes:

Kit	15 Nov 2004
Why do I care what so-and-so thinks of me? What do I think of so-and-so? Who is so-and-so, anyway? Raeven

Lurea	16 Nov 2004
And where is that stupid so-and-so when I need him, huh? (give me a hint so the court officers can serve him with papers?) ;) :mad: :laugh:

WhiteRaven	16 Nov 2004
Here's one.. Why are the cards driving me crazy?

FantasyWorld	16 Nov 2004
How do you tie a noose around your tarot cards? LOL Ok seriously, How can I improve my working relationship with my cards?

WhiteRaven	16 Nov 2004
How can you make your cards actually talk to you about what YOU want them to talk to you about instead of always what THEY want to talk about? Almost like saying...Why are my cards stubborn and bratty at times?

Almost like saying...Why are my cards stubborn and bratty at times? Didn't like the noose idea? Why aren't my cards submissive to my wants and needs?

Here's one... What on EARTH is my Girlfriend thinking when she went for coffee with my best friend!?

carly	17 Nov 2004
How can I get back at my stupid girlfriend and that backstabbing... ;-) Carly

tmgrl2	17 Nov 2004
NO...NO!! White Raven and Carly. Tarot would not like these questions... Hmmmm, let's see.... Tarot, what can you tell me about the mental status of my girlfriend when it comes to making wise decisions? terri And Tarot? How can I get back at that back-stabbing, two-timing FORMER friend of mine?

WhiteRaven	21 Nov 2004
When will I get it in this thick head of mine that benefit of the doubt doesn't exist?

Lurea	21 Nov 2004
How will my job search be going next week?

Will I marry Keanu Reeves, and if so, when and where will we meet? Rephrased: What is the best method for stalking Keanu Reeves without getting a restraining order filed against me? I actually got this question once; I did not rephrase it, but rather declined to do the reading.
