I swear I heard this somewhere else. 

This is by far— by FAR— the freakiest thing that has ever happened to me.

When I was about 22 one of my close friends, T, completed suicide. His housemate found him. None of us knew what he’d been going through. He was the life and soul. It was hard.

Two years ago, I got severely, awfully sick (probably the flu). I didn’t go to work for the entire week. It was all I could do just to keep myself drinking liquids and soup and shuffling to bed. The worst part was my husband was traveling for business, so I was all alone, just me and our sweet black cat Libby.

I will start this off by saying I do not believe in ghosts or spirits or the afterlife, but I experienced something a few years ago that spooked me to the core and still gives me the chills when I think about it today. I was living in an apartment in the Flatbush area and had been there for a few years with no issues…

Early Fall 1974

I like spooky things, but I wouldn’t consider myself a big believer of the supernatural. In fact, if this hadn’t happened to me, I would easily write all ghost stories off to be just that - stories. But it did, and for 30 years it has lingered in the back of my mind “was that real?”.

Ok. My story is from 2016. I don’t know that it’s strictly scary, or at least, I wasn’t particularly scared at any point but it is creepy. For background on me, sometimes I feel things but I don’t usually SEE things.

Right? I was gonna work today, but now it’s time to get proper ‘pooked instead.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

I gave another campaign contribution a few minutes ago just for that alone. I want to see Mitch McConnell reduced to dust and the ground his home lies upon salted over with warning signs for generations to come. I hope Warren makes McConnell weep at night inside his turtle shell.

I cannot stand Tim Ryan. Luckily he did not shine, I don’t think he’ll be in this very long.  

For real my life goal is to visit McConnell’s grave and spit on it.  I don’t feel that way about any other human, even Trump.

Seriously, if they cut two or three people off of each side of the line-up the whole debate would have been a lot better. I also thought Tulsi Gabbard got a pretty large chunk of time, considering I routinely forget who she is and that she is running for the nomination. 

BTW, candidates like Tim Ryan just viscerally bother in the most negative of ways. It’s most because they tell lies about their own party. Dems have tried every which way to court mostly white, mostly racist voters in the “heartland,” to a degree that is often embarrassing. And yet all your hear the Tim Ryan’s lie…

We can put Ryan in charge of explaining everything to people in Ohio, or something.

Gabbard’s sister was on Twitter griping that MSNBC was all in for Warren. It seemed especially irresponsible to have determined that before the debate was over, as Tulsi probably wound up in the middle of the pack, time wise

While I think a lot of candidates made good showings for themselves tonight, I’m inclined to agree. If I had to vote in the primary tomorrow, I’d vote for Warren.

That said, I found myself thinking back to the utter circus that was the Republican primary debates in 2012 and feeling pretty damn good about the future.…

I didnt  time it, but got the same impression.  She seemed largely absent for the second half.

While Warren arguably received the lion’s share of the speaking time on the debate stage
