In response to the comment above mine. Don't feel the way you do. Just be up front with Val the next time around and ask her to speak more about you, or whatever, you wish. But to help you, understand, why Valerie is soo, respected, here is my real experience. Well my story is short, and to the point. About 27 years ago, my finance', and I got into a unplanned heated and untimely argument. She threw her engagement ring at me and it was lost. Thereafter, we looked all over for it. Sometime later, she somehow came across Val's name, and went to visit her in Philadelphia. She came home told me part of her experience with Val and showed me a piece of paper. On that paper, Valerie, described via a rough sketch the ring being nearby a step in our house, or something like a step, and next to that step something was hanging down almost directly over the ring.
Well, my finance's said, we have no steps for our house was built on a slab, (having no basement or other sort of steps going down in or outside of our home). I agreed, but being that I am naturally, a problem solver, I realized, that we did have a step. The step was the carpet in our house, I said to myself , it has to be (the carpet could be interpreted as an step, roughly 3/4 of an inch high off of the concrete slab), and the thing (being a line) that Valerie drew next to the step as something hanging above and almost directly over the ring, was indeed, a electrical wire, leading down inside the wall to an 110 vac electrical outlet. Shortly, thereafter, and faith in her vision, I ran my fingers, between the base boards, and edge of the carpet of our hallway leading to our bedroom area of the home. You know what I am going to state next., yes I did find the engagement ring, wedged in between the carpet (the step), the wall and the baseboard and directly below an electrical outlet (where the hanging thing (a wire it was), the line on Val's drawing that was depicted).
One last short story. You would guess that if my finance' threw that ring at me, we would had probably broke off the marriage. Well, we did not we got married. Than not long after we got divorced. I wonder why.?/ LOL. But, not so long after, I moved from NJ to Pa, far west Pa. About so many months after moving, I took advantage of adopting a kitten, (who coincidently just passed away, like Valerie's best friend (I think Wolf she called her dog). Well, my step-son came home from school and accidently left the sliding glass door opened. My new wife and I arrived home from work later that day (late evening) and noticed our kitten was no where to be found. ***(no my divorce from my first wife had nothing to do with my new wife, besides did not meet her until sometime later). Well, we looked all over for CeCe, and could not find her. I gave it some serious thought and contacted Valerie. Surprisingly, Valerie answered the phone. She told me where CeCe was . She said she was not hiding in the house, but she was outside, under or in something (( (like I said above we looked all over, called for her, we went into the woods, looked all around. We lived in a very wooded area of PA, and in the mountains and hills. She could be anywhere, including in a belly of a fox or coyote or something)))). Val, than said, CeCe was closer than we thought, Valerie told me she was under something nearby our home and next to the house. Well, guess what, We found her under the low lying wood cedar deck behind our house. She came out, for us, right after, Valerie said that. Wow. Well, that was the last time I spoke to Valerie. I have been tempted to call her for other help, believe me I needed her help and knowledge over the years since than. Its rough and cold in this world. But to let you know, Valerie, for that bit of information did not charge me a cent. But she brought a family back together. Valerie if you ever read this, it is me Troy. I miss you. Its been years. I almost called you tonight , that is how I found this review and comment site. Its been about 15 years since we last spoke. Maybe this problem I have, we have will find a way without me calling you. Take care. But if I have no choice I will, because I think it will help ease the relationship between my wife and our daughter who is now 16 going on 40. LOL. read more
