Yep! That’s what sent me over the edge and I called in a spiritual cleansing. Unfortunately we had just signed a lease and our options were limited since my ex-SO had lost his job, etc. etc. But it was the door thing that knocked me right over the edge!!!

Me too. Looking back, my partner at the time actually started experiencing things first and I wrote them off. I should’ve placed more merit on his fear, knowing that out of the two of us, he was the way bigger skeptic when it came to those things. He and I still catch up from time to time and he says that while since…

Oh yes! I went down the rabbit hole last night and couldn’t stop reading the SAR ones. OMG.

Not just rosaries, but there was something about a wooden rose, or some type of rose that also turned gold. I just remembered it had something to do with Mary of Medjugorje. The ladies at our church were obsessed and someone went and brought things back - they actually did look as if they were slowly turning colors!…

Wow - you just brought back serious memories of my Catholic childhood with the rosaries turning to gold. I can’t remember the whole of it, but there was something about rosaries purchased from some shrine that women from my church went to that supposedly turned to gold - I think I saw them. The icons and beliefs are…

Ah - thanks for clarifying! I’m too much of a black and white girl - I need to know if what I’m reading is fiction or non-fiction. Don’t make me guess! ;)

This person clearly didn’t grow up with an Italian Catholic mother like I did - we always had holy water lying around.

You can in fact, buy/procure holy water. Somehow my catholic mother had it lying around our house growing up.

I love /nosleep but I’m an old and don’t get reddit. Isn’t /nosleep user-submitted fiction? I loved the SAR posts but then I realized they were just made up? I want to read true ghosty stories!!

I appreciate your story and the emotions attached to it. I posted one last night that got lost in the grays where my ex and I went through something similar. I was questioning my sanity until one day I got up from a chair to grab a mug of coffee and five minutes later came back to a photograph sitting there of the…

Back when the great recession hit, my SO at the time had lost his job and I was in school full-time. We were forced to downgrade our lifestyle (mainly our insanely unaffordable Brooklyn apartment). A friend of mine offered up her grandmother’s house to rent for cheap - her grandfather had passed years ago, her…

Thank you! I read a bit of everything. Every year I challenge myself to read a certain amount of books too - it really runs the gamut. This year I was blowing through books left and right, then I got engaged and my job got crazy and I’ve just been getting home and crashing rather than reading the past two months :( I…

You're my hero! I am a voracious reader as well - can you share some recommendations?

Oh honey. I’ve got like, 10 years on ya. And I’m just NOW getting married (in 8 weeks!) It took me a long time to weed through the douches and find Mr. Right! In the meantime, I can tell you from experience, being a cat lady isn’t that bad - mine are great cuddlers ;)

Don’t rule it out yet! I work in HR/Recruiting and the process is slower than you think. Everyone is short-staffed these days. People post a position (myself included) and then a million things come up, and it falls to the wayside a bit in light of the more immediate fires that need to be put out. A week of not…

Yes. It randomly hit me in a job interview. I was sitting there, fine, doing well, then suddenly almost vomited. Literally had to run out of the room to the bathroom. I was sick all day from it - and couldn’t stop crying. I tried to deal with it on my own for months. I commute by train, and the 20 minute commute to…

Benefit Gimme Brow. Discovered it this week and this ginger can haz brows now! And my all time go to’s: Nars Orgasm blush & DiorShow mascara.

Except the HR Professionals didn’t. She worked something out informally with her co-workers and supervisors. When it became a problem, it was escalated to HR, who it appears determined that it was an undue burden to the company.

I agree with you that justice is certainly unevenly distributed. And sorry for being so harsh - having one of those weeks in my job, which probably colors my thoughts on this :) And you make a good point - businesses of all sizes ignore the law. I’ve worked in huge companies and tiny start ups. I’m not a total…

Totally agree with you - I can’t tell you how frustrating it is when untrained supervisors or managers make promises or guarantees they are not in a place to make. Happens all the time. I’m actually totally jealous of your line of work - must be fascinating! And yes, our jobs and the things we see definitely color our…
