I think I'm Haunted

I was just playing with a photo album on my camera when I came upon the revolting sight below. Could this be the missing link? or perhaps the ghost of Christmas P1ke? Whatever it is it looks ghastly. Can you help exorcise it/him...

DonnaLawson Well, I am not good at exercising or exorcising, All I know is the old stake in the heart, but I can imagine you don't want to go that route, do you, huh?? I fell fo a ghost in the background on my son's ipod, it was so real that I was scared for him,...

Where do you eat?

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 21 Jan 10

In the UK many houses have something euphemistically called the "Dining Room". As the name suggests this is a room used for eating meals. However, for many of us the dining room is only used on special occasions i.e. Christmas;...

DonnaLawson Have you been nosing around in my house?? We eat at the dining room on only the biggest holidays.. My dining table is a bit clean but it is still the dumping ground for things that I need to get done.. Our dining area is the coffee table right smack dab in...

DonnaLawson Sounds like you need to abort him, get him out of your life before he poisons you with this childish stupidity of his.. A defenseless unborn child is no match for this evil, you have a responsibility to protect the child.. What will he leave you for tomorrow,...

DonnaLawson It used to happen quite a bit when I was having my "bad times" but no more, it seems to be under control with me now.. I did get to the point that I didn't talk that much, but it was mainly because I didn't want to, not that I couldn't, I just didn't want to...

"May I ask why your hand is in that bank deposit slot, Miss?"

Patsie Hatley @Hatley (163776) • Garden Grove, California 22 Oct 09

Did you ever do something that looked exactly opposite of what you were really doing, so that a passing cop would stop you and ask what the heck you were doing? Honest I was not trying to grab any money, I just wanted my deposit...

DonnaLawson I understand completely.. My son married about 2 years ago and I really miss having him at home.. He lived at home with his dad and I for 28 years, so after all of this time, it is hard to get used to him not being at home with us.. He and his wife came for...

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 19 Oct 09

DonnaLawson I change mine about once in a "Blue Moon".. I am not really sure how often that would be translated in real time, but I usually don't even think to change it.. Since you have already put a bug in my ear, so to speak, I am going to try and change it right now.....

DonnaLawson I have substituted a few and I will always remember my mother telling us she was going to change her name to sh*t, so we would quit bugging her so much.. She knew, and we knew that we would get into deep trouble if we said that word, and she had 10 kids, so...

DonnaLawson I don't think that would be legal at all.. Your password is a secret word for you and only you, not for anyone who just happens to want it for whatever reason.. I can't imagine a site such as that staying up for long, it should be kicked off and no...

Do You Take Me Seriously?

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 2 Oct 09

From time to time, not too often, I post made up, ridiculous discussions that most people see for what they are. Trivial nonsense. I write about fictional universities undertaking the most ridiculous research; about the ancestral...

Does have a nice day really mean anything?

Patsie Hatley @Hatley (163776) • Garden Grove, California 4 Oct 09

DonnaLawson It is one of the most meaningless remarks that anyone can make.. Most people say it without meaning it.. If you want me to have a nice day, don't do anything to ruin it before you tell me to have one.. I don't like to make remarks like that unless I really...
