I think you missed the “0% interest” bit.

Except, as mentioned here already, a company that’s monitoring you that closely is undoubtedly monitoring/blocking applications on your system that they don’t control/provide.

My parents were fairly strict with me (I was the oldest by 4.5 years-- the rules were relaxed for my siblings). I felt overprotected and restrained for most of my childhood. As a result, I was probably way too lax with my own child, and ended up having to put more restrictions in place so that they felt safer. It’s…

Old thread I know, but-- maybe in exchange for your facial blindness you are a super-powerful astral projector?? To the point where your astral projections appear real to others and can interact with them?

Old thread I know, but-- it makes sense, because human occupation of Asia is so much longer than N.America. Re: red vs white orbs-- red appears white to people with red-green color blindness. Just a thing that occurred to me.

Old thread I know but ... jesus.

Or, you know, EVER.

Realizing this is an ancient thread (re-reading for the scare factor!) I still can’t pass up a chance to share knowledge— cave crickets are crickets.

Buffy:
I’m going to the crime scene to see what I can find out. You guys research the Polgara demon. I want to know where it is. When I find it, I’m going to make it pay for taking that kid’s life. I’ll make him die in ways he can’t even imagine.
