I really love how dedicated you were to keeping those kitties safe! And upon reading this, I definitely thought it was going to be a ghost story, but it was even scarier!

I love this. My dad passed away in 2008 and visits me in my dreams. My grandma does too.

Not exactly scary and will probably get stuck in the greys (can I please be ungreyed?) but here goes:

I know I am late to this party, but, Bananabunny, I just want to tell you that you are a lovely person. Your comments are supportive and beautiful and extremely well-thought out. 

Every time I read one of your comments, I say your screen name to myself over and over... I love it.

I’m going back and reading all of the Pissing Contests so I’m aware I’m weeks late but this was worth replying to. Amazing. 

I had almost the same thing happen to me - I was having lunch with a thin friend and her new baby. We were leaving and ran into a guy that my friend knew. He asked what she’d been up to, and she said, ‘I had a baby!’ and showed him her sleeping baby in her car seat. He looked at her, then looked at me and said, ‘No…

Sounds like autism? I have a cousin who doesn’t like her food to touch, but she doesn’t make other people re-dish their food. She just won’t eat the food that touches.

Not Irish but have lived here in Ireland for over 15 years. I have heard Irish people use the term ‘Irish goodbye’ and I had not heard this term before I moved here.

I just commented above about my boyfriend assigning personalities to everything we own. He is at the point where he feels sorry for shoes or anything, really, that he has to throw out. He has conversations with them and makes them sound pathetic.

I know I am about a month late but I’m back-reading and HAD to stop and comment on this one. My boyfriend assigns personalities to all the inanimate objects in our apartment. They all have names, as well. The vacuum cleaner is Snorky, the dehumidifier is Sucky, etc. He has conversations with them where he plays both…

My paternal grandmother, with whom I was close, visits me in dreams fairly regularly. We talk about mundane things that are going on in my life and I always feel better when she visits.

Agreed.

Mothman!

I used to live in Fredericksburg! It was very briefly in the mid-90s. Excellent story and super freaky. 

If you are able for it, there’s a great Twitter thread where a user asks people to draw their sleep paralysis demons. https://twitter.com/rhymewithrachel/status/1093086755656527873?lang=en

Yes - this! So much this! Also, as other commenters pointed out - she has HG so when she is pregnant, she’s constantly sick. I am sure she’d rather not be physically ill while having her photo taken.

Yes - she had hyperemesis with both George and Charlotte, didn’t she? I remember reading about it and thinking how awful that must be.

Agree. We’ve heard this bullshit from Rubio before. At the end of the day, he will vote with his party.

I’ve got the Mirena coil - only lasts 5 years but I don’t have periods.
