I have a patient, who is in her 80`s. She claims that she God talks to her, before something terrible happens to her.
She just told me the story about the meals on wheels lady coming in to bring her meals....she told her to lay it on her table.
She went on to the bathroom, and she said someone told her, to go into the living room!!!! She said that she did, and the meals on wheels lady, was standing there with her purse under her arm!!!
She said she ask her what she was doing with her pocket book, and the lady was kindly froze, as in shock, and finally said,' This man came in and tried to take her purse, and she grabbed it from him.
Not sure I believe that one.....the guy would have knocked her over and took the purse if he wanted it...
She has told me other stories, if you are interested..

What does this have to do with being born with a veil over your face? And why do you have a signature when the TOS clearly says we're not allowed to use signatures?

Being born with a veil over your face meant you could fortell the future. The "veil" was the amniotic sac.

In February of 1934, my grandmother went into labor with her third child. There was a snowstorm, and the doctor was delayed getting there, but a nurse was at the house when my aunt was born. The amniotic sac was over her face, and the nurse was superstitious and would not touch the baby and remove the membrane until the doctor got there. Due to the oxygen deprivation, my aunt had cerebral palsy and the mental capacity of a five-year-old.

I don't think much of that particular superstition, as you might imagine.

Thanks. She was telling me this, and
I didn`t really understand it, and thought I could get diffrent opinions here.

Yeah, a caul is supposed to signal someone having "second sight".

Yes, I've heard it referred to as the caul, also.

If you get those numbers, send me a DM! NJ or NY are both fine.
