Are you serious, Baroli ???? or having a giggle.... ?
Just in case you are serious - I do think that there are times when you have to give someone something - like when the old style doctors used to give sugar pills when they knew only a pill would do. I'd see the candles as a kind placebo here. And to GIVE them to her - well, a) people tend to value what they pay for at these times and b) - debra - if you are rich, can we talk ??? (there's that Spills thing.... )
Yes, I am totally serious. I am trying to understand the whole logic of suggesting giving one's power to a placebo (your word and I like it). It smacks of what a lot of religions do, putting faith in something inanimate, like a doll, a stained glass window of the Madonna, or for that matter a cross that is hung in a sanctuary. But that's not what I am questioning either.
If the woman wished to have something to "hold on to" then quite frankly she would be better off pulling her numbers out of the air (I was going to use another "a" word, but decided to be polite) rather than giving her power to a worthless wax candle.

I don't get questions like that. I do get financial ones, but they usually pertain to a better job, or what can I do to increase my earning potential, stuff like that. If the questions really gets hardcore as in stock portfolios etc, I ask them when was the last time they saw their broker.
As far as advice to her broker? I didn't say you did, but my clients do. Nope, my clients don't ask for magic numbers for the lottery, but there is always a first time.

LOL how funny! (I suppose that's the intent, humor?)
An attempt at humor?? No, I was being very serious in my query, but since you think it's an attempt at humor,.......I would think that one who edits for a living as well would know the difference between humor and honest questioning. Perhaps a misunderstanding and that's quite alright.
ETA: Yeah, being without money sucks, bigtime. I have been there,....several times, almost ended up,....well that's another story. But just when I thought I was all done, the Universe had a surprise for me. I guess I place my trust and faith in the unseen rather than the seen. Heb. 11:1
