That is very cool. I love that kind of folklore! Unfortunately, my paternal grandparents (who came over from Austria-Hungary) in the early 1900s died a long, long time ago and nothing similar was passed down to us kids. My cousins went back a couple of years ago to the village to look up records, but everything was…

It is a paranormal fiction book about gypsy (I'm half Roma) witches living in modern times.

That is very cool about the name. I have been doing research for a fiction book I am writing and some cultures give newborns two names. One name is the name they are known by. The second is secret and is their "real" name, known only by the trusted elder and the person him/herself. It is believed that evil spirits…

I don't know. James freaked me out as did Goat Man. I don't know if I can take any more. Of course I will be reading them, however.

I don't know but we had something similar happen at my mom's. Me, my sisters, our SOs, and my mom were sitting in the dining room talking about old times and my dad, who died several years before. Suddenly the kitchen sink water turned on full blast. By itself. No one was standing near it. My mom got up to turn it off…

I have those dreams sometimes of my dad who died 16 years ago. I wake up feeling like I had just spent time with him. It is comforting.

So does my family. Once at a diner we all got our money out and started waving it at my sister who had the check, causing my brother to comment, "We look like the Rockefellers, waving our money around." I still laugh about that.

Wait, she poured hydrogen peroxide on someone in a theater? Why wasn't she charged with assault?

Yes! We saw it yesterday. He loved it. I did too. After it was over I told him that it was difficult to describe without giving away the plot and he agreed.

I would totally go to Catcon.

I learned if you cut Barbie's hair it would not grow back. I was a very stupid child.

I wish I could give you all the stars. That story was glorious! But I am sorry you had to go through that.

That clown story was wonderful! I laughed out loud at Starbucks and now the slack jawed yokels are looking at me like I am crazy. But it is worth it. Clowns.

Fuck this guy one thousand percent. I have just about had it with these people.

Thank you for this.

Everyday is Halloween.

I had to go Google Tom Hardy. I have never seen him in anything. He seems ... nice.

Thank you.

This Left Behind nonsense is extremely offensive to me. And I am a lapsed Catholic.
