I submitted last year ("Stone Cold Kid") and thought I'd do the same this year. Just like last years story, I submitted this to yourghoststories.com looking for "answers" and feedback from the community. Anywho, here it goes:
This is a story my father told me while looking though old family photos a few weekends ago.…
So this incident happened to me when I was an undergrad. Let me preface this by saying that I am adamantly a skeptic. I do not believe that there is an afterlife; I do not believe in ghosts; I do not believe in premonition. Period. I think simple brain chemistry explains 75% of hauntings.
Goosebumps for DAYZ.
So I told what I thought was the one story I had that was spooky story worthy. But then this happened over Christmas:
I have a story!
I live in a very old area of town. Almost every other house on my street is a "century home" with a little plaque saying it was built in 1905 or sometime thereabouts. Mine doesn't just because it costs money to get that title.
AARRGGHH I LOVE THE JEZ SPOOKY STORIES CONTEST!!
Is it hard to get a suntan? You know living in your wife's shadow? IS AN AMAZING BURN
This is why my heart will forever belong to Zach Galifianakis. Hell, I married his brunette doppelganger.
Yes. Haha!
Put this trend of firing teachers for having a sexual past of any kind together with the trend of teenage girls sending nudes to their crappy boyfriends who then post them online and it seems to me that in the next twenty years or so there aren't going to be any teachers left who are "models to follow for high school…
What. There's an 'about the couple' page now. *whine* I think I knew this but was expunging it from my memory. I am engaged to the best guy ever and we want to get married in June 2016. I purposefully set the day far out there because I don't want to wedding plan. Can I skip this wedding website business? Sounds…
I have to admit I have been judgmental of women who have baby voices - that high-pitched, upper back of the throat sound seems so at odds with being a grown-up. I was surprised to find out that many men are attracted by it (what I don't know about men could fill an encyclopedia). And I guess I'm also surprised to find…
But what frustrates me about this particular piece is that she, in exposing how horrible people can be, became herself complicit in subjecting every black attendee to racism or misogynoir. I passed up multiple invitations to attend the exhibit with friends because I had no intention of being placed in that position…
Huh? They don't look like athletes to me. They look like how models used to look like in the 70s and 80s. Like, healthy and fit but NORMAL.
"Low-fat ladies are always the ideal." YEP. And that shit is just mostly genetics - sure there are ways to reduce your body fat through dieting, cardio AND weight training, but most people are pre-disposed to have more or less than others.
Thank you for pointing that out. I saw one of those Fashion Week runway photos where a designer was trying to cater to the sporty audience with a "sporty" collection, but the models were still bony. Let's look at Wilhelmina's women fitness models, for example, and count how many of these women look more like athletes…
I'm actually eating straight from a tub of frosting with a spoon while I read this.
This is funny, but fails to do anything with the way conversations like this start to make you wonder if maybe your "friend" actually just doesn't like you at all but is too passive aggressive to just tell you, instead inventing a schedule so busy it is impossible to make plans.
