Topic : 03/30 Is This Normal?

I don't think watching TV programs are going to convince Dr. Phil . They wouldn't convince even me, and I'm into the paranormal to a degree. I KNOW there are more things out there than we are able to understand easily. But I also have an inquiring mind...when I want to know about something, I go read up on it. By learning everything you can about any given thing, even something like the Paranormal, you may find your attitudes and beliefs will change. Its a simple matter of "the more you know" ! 

The "tests"  that are run on people who have, or claim to have, any sort of Physic ability are always inconclusive. Simply because no one can scientifically "prove" something they cant see. Its a Catch 22...its there, but cant be "proved". 

Enlightenment doesn't come easy..its a long hard road. It takes effort, and many are not willing to invest the time and energy, which is a shame to my mind. You quit being open to things you don't understand and your ready to lay down and die.! 

Never close your mind to anything you don't understand, as many don't understand Karen's gift (including her !), simply because you personally don't understand it, doesn't mean it isn't real !!!!! 

An open mind to new things will enable you to keep growing, which we all must, for if we dint keep growing we are lost. 

I saw nothing wrong with the guy wanting to keep his dog but if he read those dog books like he claimed, then he would have known to keep his child away from a deaf and easily spooked dog. He is lucky, that publicly, he had a "non- vicious" animal. Try to explain that to those uneducated media hores who believes everything the media tells them. If this were my dog, a pitbull, people would be out for blood. The simple fact is no you can't always predict the actions of your animal,whatever it is, and that family should be happy their situation didn't turn into a media feast. 

  I was watching this show and I got chills all down my body as well as big tears in my eyes. About 14 years ago when my daughter was 2 she was attacked by our own dog. She was on the floor playing and had went over and pulled our dogs tail and he turned around and picked her up my her face and swung her around like a "rag doll" her face was ripped open from her mouth line to the middle of her cheek! Her father and I were both sitting right there, but it happened so fast there was nothing we could do. We lived on a military base at the time and the bite was so bad that they could not treet her. They then transported us to the nearest hospital which was two hours away so that a plastic surgon could do surgery on her. I was so devested. We loved our dog and had him way before our daughter was born, but knew that we could no longer keep him. I am a HUGE dog lover, but knew I could not take a second chance with my daughters life. We ended up having our dog destroyed which was so sad for us. We also thought about giving him away, but we could not live with ourselves if he was to attack another child. My daughter is now 16 and she loves animals of all kinds, but she has been teased all her life by the kids at school calling her names such as dog face and scar face! She is an extreamly beautiful girl with a wonderful personality, but this has haunted her since she was attacked those 14 years ago. Please......make the right decison and get rid of the dog...or do what Dr Phil says "don't let the dog around her until she is old enough to give commands" and please...........don't blame your wife! She was the one that was there and saw what happened and she is not the one who harmed your child. This is why dogs are called "animals" we never know what they could or would do!!!!   

 I totally understand what your talking about. This happened to my daughter when she was two years old and she is now 16. She had laser surgery a year ago to try to make the scar less noticeable. She always came home from school crying that the kids make fun of her calling her "scar face" You worry the whole nine months that you carry this child hoping they have all ten toes and ten fingers and that they are healthy and then something like this happens. I felt like such a failure as a mom when this happened and I can't imagine my husband blaming me for this. I still to this day think about what I could of did differently, but at least I have the peace of mind that I did not give the dog another chance to maybe harm or even kill my daughter a second time!   

Where did u ever get that I was disagreeing, ANYBODY with HALF A BRAIN knows that KIDS ARE FIRST ....and Thanks for that!  

I got bit by a huge dog as a kid, it torn my side apart and I'am not and never was after that , AFRAID of Dogs ... as they would always be around , I could never not be around one , tons of people have them, and there always just there...WHERE EVER you go in life ....so I just Dealt ..and YES even as a KID I dealt. But not everyone is as strong of a person as I am. 

Like anything in life for me ....I deal and account for things and then LET THEM GO! No one is going to hold your hand though life, so you are the only one who gets you through it.  

The father just needs to GET A CLUE, remove the dog , then slowly  and not immediately with TOTAL supervision re-introduce dogs back in to her life, if that' s the case that she's is indeed afraid (which is understandable). It is not his wife's fault, it is not his fault, it CERTAINLY is NOT  the little girls fault by ANY MEANS, it's just a very UNFORTUNATE AND TRAGIC ACCIDENT. 

After reading many posts I needed to say something. Opra believes in voices or feelings in her head that guide you to do or not do something. She talks about it with guests quite a bit.   She calls them "Angel Whispers." Nobody makes fun of her or discredits her viewpoint.  

 Yes there is something to this.  She was asking DR. Phil a ligitimate question I felt he did not fully answer.  Some visionaries I know who are like Karen do not like knowing what they know.  It is not something they chose but something that chose them. If you do tell someone about a vision they can treat you weird so its difficult to determine who or when to tell.  I do feel there is a hereditary component.  My Great-Grandmother would sometimes give my mother warning and she would follow them preventing possible bad things from happening. My mother would even give us warnings. Some things can be prevented if adhered to such as do not go down Melrose street tonight.  My sister went down that street and we ended up in a bad accident.  

 I have a daughter who at 3 years old and younger displayed some of this gift.  I would recieve mail on the missing children.  She wanted mail so I would hand them to her.  She would sometimes talk about the person and what happend to them.  After doing that two times I stopped giving her mail.  What was I suppose to do with that information?  Call the hotline and say my 3 year old says the missing girl is in heaven with the angels? IF I did that I probably would have been ignored or labled weird or worse investigated.  I have had incidents myself over the years but do not call myself phyicic. I cant even spell it. It is not excepted in my religion.  

Years ago I took a day off work 3 weeks in advance and told my job I needed to be with my grandfather. Some people were upset. I didn't know why I needed to do that but I did it.  That whole day I just followed and did the thoughts I had in in my head.  I even called up the family and told them that he would die today.  I told them the nurse said it.  I lied about that since I didn't think they would believe me.  This gave the family time to call everyone and get there and say their goodbyes. He died that night surrounded by lots of his family.  They did find out that I lied but that didnt seem to matter.  My family needed that.  The next day I told my work he had died and nobody was upset with me after that.  They understood why needed a day off.  So far I have felt as if I made the right decisions.  One must be very careful with this since so many people and feelings and futures are  intertwined.  What if I was wrong? I still ask myself that.
