Dear Mr. KIA, I’ve recently been haunted by many of life’s most burdensome questions, and, in all honesty, I need some answers. Pondering relationship matters and plotting my next career move have consumed enough of my free mental processes. Although I consider myself a pretty rational guy, I’ve come to the conclusion that the remedy for my worries lies in psychic abilities, but I haven’t a clue as to where to scout out those powers. I come across fortunetellers around every corner, but the lure of a burning candle or quirky scarf does not convince me. Can you please advise me where to fi nd an authentic fortuneteller who can help guide my looming decisions? Thanks—Looking for Answers
Dear LFA: You know, Mr. KIA is a “Life is what you make it” kind of man. I don’t need to know what is in the stars for me to live my life. In fact, I think fortunetellers haven’t the slightest clue and are all a bunch of crooks. But before you jump off a bridge, here are some go-to mhor doos. I can’t be held responsible for their predictions but if you’d like to share with me the aftermath, you’re welcome.
