Anybody spending time worrying about ebola has way too much time on their hands.

I decided yesterday that the new fashion trend in Texas will be the ebolo too soon?

Jesus

He's got a ton of videos...mostly ATTENTION CITIZENS OF CALIFORNIA. EARTHQUAKE WARNING!!!!

Shit head

I'm pretty sure eating peaches is a euphemism for something entirely different but enjoy the moving process. If I never move again in my life I'll be thrilled.

OK, one more. My older sister had a sleepover with a few of her friends one night. She was in her late teens at the time. The next morning one of the friends asked my sister why my dad stood in the doorway and watched them sleep because when she woke up in the middle of the night, she saw a man standing in the doorway. He stayed there for about 15 minutes and the girl finally said "hello" and the man slowly turned and walked down the hall (nothing down there but the bathroom). The spooky thing is, my dad was supposed to be home that night but his flight was canceled and he didn't make it home until the next day. No one else was home except my mom and my younger sister and I (we were under 6 at the time). She watched for a bit and never saw him come back by or hear anyone in the bathroom. She never visited the house again I often think about contacting the people that live in the house now to see if they see/hear things.

No. Not my dad's style. He is not a prankster and is the most honest person I know. I've never even seen him tell a white lie. He was standing right next to me when it happened. Scared the hell out of him. He never really swore in front of me as a kid and he said HOLY SHIT! The fact that he was a bit freaked out didn't make me feel too comfortable. For an animal or a person to make that much noise, it would have displaced at least one if not a number of the duct piece but not one was moved. I fully expected to see them scattered about.

Nothing was moved and a small animal could not have made the sounds we heard. It was unbelievably loud. Yes, I was 12...my dad was not and observed the same. Great that you are skeptical...no amount of convincing from me is going to change your mind. I'd be skeptical too if I hadn't experience it along with numerous other things that are too long to get into on here,

It's a hard thing to believe until you've experienced it. When things start moving on their own or you hear incredible noises with no explanation, it becomes harder to chalk up to imagination. When I was about 12, my dad and I were dismantling the duct work from our wood stove for cleaning in the basement. We carefully laid out each piece in order so we knew how to reassemble it. We were the only ones home and we lived out in the country with about 4 acres of land. We quit for lunch, went upstairs and as we were making sandwiches, we heard this awful racket in the basement like someone was walking through, kicking all of the ductwork pieces. This went on for about 10-15 seconds. We froze for a few seconds, listening and then rush downstairs to see what was going on. When we opened the basement door, the noise quit and not a single piece was out of place. We couldn't explain it at all. We had only a dog at the time and he was outdoors. This is one of the many things that happened in the house...most were weird like the above and a few were creepy as hell.

You're not the only one man. I love Mangos and have been eating them for years but always pre-prepared. A few years ago I bought some and ate it, kinda like an orange where I quartered it and ate the flesh up to the skin. Later I got blisters all around my lips. It didn't hurt or itch but it was just annoying. I wasn't 100% sure at the time if it was due to the mangos or not but after trying again, I confirmed it. I googled it and found as you did that the skin does contain similar oils to poison ivy. When my son was in Afghanistan, one of the natives showed him how to drink a mango. Basically, you lightly squeeze and roll in your hands over and over until the inside becomes liquified. Then take a knife, cut the top off and drink. I won't be doing that.

Maybe we should organize an OR ghost adventure like in the OP?

That would be awesome. I definitely believe for I have seen unexplainable things with my own eyes.The house I grew up in in upstate NY was haunted. Not Amityville demon haunted, but haunted like we would see things, we'd hear unexplained sounds. Things would get moved when no one else was home, etc. I have a ton of stories. No one ever really felt comfortable in the house alone and being a young kid at the time, I wasn't home alone much thankfully.

Good deal

I guess my drugs are working

The thread title is repetitive

Jesus...if the guy is ever caught he'll probably get life in a cushy prison cell. I agree with Todd, let's be creative in slowly putting them out of our misery.

I fail to see how people don't get so attached to pets and I'm not a very "emotional" person. However, everyone is wired different so maybe you're one of them and as such probably are better suited to not have a pet as these types tend to be the ones to neglect and/or abuse them. Hopefully, that isn't true of you. As mentioned, for many people pets become family members. I'm as emotionally attached to my dogs as I am my son and certainly empathize with the OP so understand that when you make comments about the situation that can be construed as insensitive, you're gonna get some hate thrown your way.

Congrats! LOL, I'm not sure that's the metaphor I would've used

Welcome

The right choice, IMHO

Cripes, I threw away a bunch of misc dimms a month or so ago along with heatsinks, fans, 5 billion molex cables and varous cable adapters. I don't even know why I bothered to move them to the new house.

Ooooh...maybe next spring!
