They also don’t list everything it Can be used for, like Easy Off can be used for removing currency from another’s person, or transporting you to another dimension

Someone tweeted about this story with the caption “why aren’t people outraged about this??” Honestly, after 4+ years of his enraging bullshit, I don’t have any emotional reserves left. I’m saving any last dregs of Give-A-Fuck for when he does something constitutionally catastrophic on the day before the inauguration.…

Ever have one of those moments where you realize you are truly lucky to be alive ? Today is one of those days ! (We’re really ok) BUT the tiny human & I were hit and than side swiped by a drunk driver this morning. Somehow I managed to stay on the road. I don’t even know how as we were both doing at least 70MPH. We…

Well, see, it adds up like this....Trump is a delusional lunatic.

I had a paper route. This was in the mid 1980’s. At the time I was a typical ten year old boy living in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. We lived in a two story house near the end of a cul-de-sac. My mom and dad and me. I’d taken over the paper route from a friend at the beginning of summer, thinking of earning some…

So this is going to sound like nothing. At the time it FELT like nothing. It was only the next morning that I realized how fucked up it was. After the story last year about the yoga retreat (submitted by annclayborn) I figured I’d share.

Hi friends. In years past, I have always submitted (late, sorry!) my story about getting lost in middle school, getting lost in the woods and accidentally finding myself in a Haunt, where Jason leaned, smoking, against a tree and helped my poor, young teacher find her way out of the (fake) haunt and back to our camp.

B…

This isn’t really scary and I’m certain there’s an explanation but it threw me for a loop at the time. It certainly isn’t going to be in the running for a prize, I just felt like sharing it as a supernatural-adjacent story.

My Uncle Billy was the black sheep of the family. He was my mother’s older brother, who joined the military in the early 1990s and saw combat in the first Gulf War, but he didn’t come entirely back. My mom said he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and something called gulf war syndrome. My father said he…

I submitted this last year but it was way too late... so here goes again

I’ve got one I call “Old Gray Thing” that I always forget to post. It was a paranormal encounter but I’m still not sure what exactly it was, and I’ve always been curious if anyone else has seen one too. I’m doxxing myself if anyone I know reads this, but here goes nothing...

Not too scary, but it bears telling, as it was definitely one of the more interesting experiences in my life.

I had an odd experience the year after our Golden Retriever Lucy died.

I say ‘our’ because we originally got Lucy as a puppy for our kids, but she was really ‘my’ dog - I named her, and when I would get home from work I would call out, “Lucy I’m home!” in my best Ricky Ricardo voice, and she would come running to greet…

Mine’s short and sweet. Not so much a ghost, as a visitation.

Mom was always a birdwatcher and particularly loved cardinals. She would repeat as often as she could that they mated for life. We had a series of them nest in the forsythia bush outside our porch and watched several generations of babies raised while I was…

Not scary, but a couple of happy paranormal (?) bits.

Exactly. Politics is a job. It’s great when an inspiring candidate comes along that grabs the public’s imagination. But even they get stuck doing the job.

I am not in a bad mood and this annoyed me as well. This is not the time to look for the absolutely perfect candidate. This is near-literal do or die time. 

I wonder if he brings it up so much because he forgets the other times he’s brought it up. One of my dad’s first symptoms; repeating the same questions and phrases every time I talked to him.

My mom has Alzheimer’s and is in a memory care facility. They had been one of the only places in the state to avoid the outbreak. Earlier in the week, two residents and five staff tested positive. My mom tested negative then as well as a second time yesterday, and they’re testing again this Tuesday. This is a small…
