When you’re single: But when are you gonna find someone?

Our president became current-times famous, and thought of as a good businessman (instead of mostly as a miserable failure/joke punchline) literally because of a reality show.

You don’t have to assume it. It’s been documented. There are reams of documentation (many of them cited in Monique’s article, for starters).

“Sabrina seems built for a much younger audience—maybe even children.”

Can we make this into a show me your pet thread? After all the shit that’s been happening, I could use some happy animal faces.

There is only one Brother Nature in my book.

What a good dog. The fact that they are protective is endearing, but the *sense* they have about it is the impressive part to me. My mom was once home alone and she went to check the mail on the first floor of a big rundown house we used to live in. She opens the door, and there are two men there, and they step toward…

So this happened to me quite some time ago (almost 20 years, wow I feel old!), but I still remember details to this day.

My cousin was murdered a couple of years ago. It very upsetting to our entire family. So sudden and violent. That night I dreamed of my grandmother, who was the sweetest, most loving person I’ve ever known. I was telling her about my cousin, whom she didn’t know because my cousin was from my dad’s side of the family…

My childhood dog was the sweetest damn creature in the world. We always used to joke that she would happily greet any house intruders with licks. When I was ten I was taking her for a walk in our neighborhood (see: super safe suburbs) and this older man (I later described him to my mother as “grandpa age”) approached…

GOOD BOY. GOODEST BOY.

I believe this. My grandmother, a practical and non-spiritual person, upon her deathbed, started describing in incredible and lucid detail everyone she had known who’d passed as they ‘entered’ her hospital room near the end. What clothes they were wearing, what they said to her, everything. My mom and cousin wrote it…

Good dog.

My other post was embarrassing and real-life, so I separated the one that’s emotional and possibly-supernatural.

I don’t think this is what Jezebel intended for the contest, as it’s not scary. I briefly told this story in the comments of one of the contest pages a few years ago. Frankly, I don’t think about it much, as although it’s not the supernatural element that got to me at the time, it was a frightening experience and…

The summer after my sophomore year of college, my parents asked me to house sit for them while they went out of town for a long weekend. At the time, they lived in a fairly remote area so it was a bit of a trek, but it was a big beautiful house on the lake and my parents’ pets were sweethearts. First night I actually…

When my mom was dying of lung cancer and looped out of her mind on morphine most of the time, I was sitting with her one evening reading a book while she dozed and suddenly she was wide awake, lucid, and looked at me and said “Please tell (my then-husband) I am so sorry about his grandfather.” As far as I knew, his…

Similar (in that it’s nice) story happened to my friend. Her dad - 101, still sharp as a tack, never needed glasses, read the newspaper every day - called his 4 children to him and they flew in from all over to be with him. He wasn’t sick, just really, really old, but his reaching out got everyone’s attention. He told…

When my husband and I got engaged, I was living with a roommate. To save money for the wedding, rather than re-upping my lease, I moved back into my childhood home. This meant my parents and grandparents (who lived there) were always keeping an eye out to be sure we weren’t fornicating.

So, being creative, young…

I finally found this thread early early enough to *maybe* not be totally buried! The most intensely creepy thing that’s ever happened to me is also the most oddly beautiful.
