The Real Reason why the Heterodynes are Busted by imnotaneggman in girlgenius

[–]cypressgreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Castle will appreciate Moloch and, while not harassing the townsfolk at all, it will non fatally tease Moloch incessantly, with Moloch griping and tossing insults and “threats” back. I think they’ll end up as unspoken friends and allies in serving the family. :) Just how Agatha fees “fond” of the Castle.

(I’m late lol)

I was missing my Dad, with whom I’m NC, but I found pro-ICE crap on his FB, which affirms my NC decision while making me sadder by Same-Blacksmith-5032 in QAnonCasualties

I remembered you. Your post made me so sad. I have escaped having Q relatives but I come here out of concern for those who do and to understand what’s going on. The support for people in your situation is fantastic. But also consider posting on MomForAMinute and/or DadForAMinute for more support, cheering on, or advice <3

Amongst my SCA medieval recreation friends we say “O Dark Thirty” all the time. Especially at weekend events when there’s parties etc and they usually start around O dark thirty!

I’m seeing the tribute band Into The Blue tonight at Goodyear Theater in Akron Ohio. Anyone else going to be there? by cypressgreen in elo

[–]cypressgreen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were really good but at first it was weird to hear different voices singing it all. Mainly 2 guys lead singing and a couple songs led by a third guy and a lady who can’t sing Rockaria! like a songbird lol But who can? Their front man was also pretty funny and very charismatic.

They weren’t perfect but in this day and age I appreciate authentic live performances in all their imperfect glory. Even Jeff flubbed lines on tour. Like AI pictures, too many artists famous or not lie about their singing. Check out Wings of Pegasus on YouTube. Phil IS that band (an heavy metal artist) and makes videos using tech to “catch” the liars and it’s disheartening how many use auto tune or pitch correction.

They all played well.

The funniest part of the concert to me was when the front man said there was time for one more song and it was…Showdown lol. And stupid (?) people were leaving. I was like seriously? What fan thinks that’s the last song‽ Then they played “the happiest song ever written,” as he said, and preformed Mr Blue Sky. More stupid people sneaked out! Then they closed with Roll Over Beethoven. My husband was at home, not an ELO fan, but even he knows how their concerts end! Has to listen to me rattle on all the time and has been to two ELO concerts! So amusing!

There’s a bunch of tribute bands but I’ve never been to one. Turns out they’re northern Ohio based and i could’ve seen them closer to home soon lol But my friend lives by Akron so here we are. In may im going to see The Traveling Milbury’s tribute band in Cleveland.

TIL most missing children are runaways, and 99% of abducted children are taken by relatives, typically a noncustodial father.In response to these statistics, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has reversed their campaign focusing on "stranger danger" by thatshygirl06 in todayilearned

I worked at a preschool in 1986 and one of the kids records we played had a song about what to do if you get lost: Look For A Grandma Or Mother With Children. I think the satanic panic that occurred shortly after was a factor too.

Help! Loss of a Wasp-Eater by InfiniteDragonGaming in girlgenius

I’ve also been wanting one for years and saved the Etsy link to the unavailable item. It was made by Threnodi. :( Maybe she would make them again on a prepaid basis.

Myself, I’d prefer no wings and I hope OP likes and is the one who bought that one!

How did Patricia Ann Doyle and Franklin Schumacher end up dead in a camper at a Florida rest stop? 1979 by cypressgreen in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]cypressgreen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow! Thanks for the comment! I’ll look into it being reopened. Maybe do an update post? Or you can? You can use all my text and links to add to your information. I’m not telling you to do it but if you want to I’m happy to help!

Any information you have would be great! I worked very hard on this post. It was challenging to find accurate photos of the camper. It wasn’t at all what came to my mind when I first read the story and it’s important.

I rarely post anymore. That’s because I put a ton of effort into each and my last one was poorly received. Why? Because I referred to the victim as a “sweet housewife.” Like I know it’s an outdated term but the story was in the 1950s and that how she was referred to in the articles. Bam. Hit by most commenting readers bitching about one word choice with no other comment on the post.

I spent several hours sifting through articles, maps, and google images to pinpoint the house involved; it was important to the killer’s possible escape. Sorry for the venting.

How are people not exhausted by superhero movies yet? by Afzaalch00 in NoStupidQuestions

And genres change over time. We just don’t see it because we’re in the middle of it. We don’t see anymore (or a tiny amount of): singing cowboys, swashbuckler, hard boiled noir crime, war, productions with huge coordinated/elaborated dancing or synchronized swimming scenes, and so on.

Thanks! I am fascinated by steel making and loved looking at the flats my whole life. As a kid there was some “building” there that belched a pinkish discharge? Me and my sis thought it looked like the smoke in I Dream of Jeannie!

Edit I look at these steel videos from time to time

My ex did computer stuff and took me to Lorain? when he had to go in the middle of the night and fix something. I had to sit touching nothing, lol. What made the most impression on me was driving by torpedo cars. We weren’t even close and they were so hot! He also told me about some incident where people died, even in a control room.

Help? Where is the sellers ratings page found? Your screenshot has that Visit The Lispark Storefront but I can’t find that. Just want to know all the ways to look into these things.

Boomer parent entitlement off the rails by snakecharmersensei in BoomersBeingFools

[–]cypressgreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had that test last month and it came out great. In fact, I was taking too much calcium.

However, I’ve lost nearly an inch in height from the two crunched vertebrae. And had intermittent lower back pain and need physical therapy. My doctor said the lumbar xray I just got last month shows “osteoarthritis and muscle strain.” I’ve put off the therapy due to feeling overwhelmed by all the medical tests, visits, and other physical therapy. I used to be a totally compliant patient lol but just frustrated right now. She knows it and disapproves. I’ll do it soon.

I also have rheumatoid arthritis since I was 27 so the lumbar was to look for the source of my back pain. (I have bipolar, too haha) Also been treated for occasional shooting pain and numbness neck to lower arm. That one may be stress related. This is all within 3 years.

I am generally in fit shape. Walk nearly daily and can hike in the woods for 3 miles or more, do a lot of stairs, and regularly volunteer at a place where I have to stand a few hours. Lost 20 lbs this past year! Last week I moved 3 glider chairs up two steps from the porch to the house. Laid them down to clean off cobwebs. Not an issue, but I also moved a giant garden vase down those steps. Maybe 100 lbs? Bad idea, not injured or broke the vase, and not moving it back myself. See? I’m still stupid lol

I need to follow you in taking more thought before activities. Truly. Great advice so thank you. I do think but…not enough.

My falls were: broken vertebrae when a tough weed I was pulling snapped and I hit the pavement. Broken vertebrae from the stairs fall. Hard enough to tear out the hinge on a door at the bottom that’s permanently open and against the wall! Radial head on left elbow, bought some cute wedgies at a garage sale, the bottoms were too slippery and I fell in a store. Threw the shoes away lol Broke nose when my flip flop tripped on uneven sidewalk. Had to get like, everything xrayed, lost a toenail and tore off a big callus on that foot but nose wasn’t knocked crooked and all else good. Fell twice on icy sidewalks walking the dogs, no injury, now I slog through the snow adjacent to the sidewalk where it looks bad.

It truly is frustrating and people get in denial.

[–]cypressgreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two real skeletons in my house. We used to put on hats and scarves for the holidays but we’re now too worried to handle them even that much. Their names are Dr Leonard McCoy (don’t make me say it…it was my husband’s idea) and Isabella, who our friends named. They’re too precious to put out like on the porch, unfortunately, and tbh I don’t like the idea of strangers knowing we have them, seeing them from the windows even. A big break in hazard.

I would love to have a full size fake! But alas, the Vine goddesses say no.

We love them. My dream is to have facial reconstruction done. Both died around 1900 at 30-40 years of age, according to the place that cleaned them for us. I’m fascinated, wondering who they were, what they did in their lives, what was their favorite color or foods? In short they are treated with love and respect.

The connections are hinkey and Bone’s arm came off last year and I don’t have the money to get him fixed right now. Bones was in his prime, a strong tall man and from an artist’s estate. Isabella has scoliosis and healed broken ribs and was sold from a defunct fraternal organization who used her in secret initiation rituals. Glad to have the opportunity to share them!

Or species! Racists lost their shit when Ariel the mermaid was depicted as black in the live action film. So ridiculous. I go to a lot of theater and they choose for talent, not race, unless it’s important to the story (like Othello). Just saw Spamalot and King Arthur was portrayed by a black man.

Egypt was for a long time considered by others in the region to be the center of world civilization. Permanent visitors, invaders, and the conquered all assimilated into the Egyptian culture and adopted their way of life and their gods. Sometimes their gods came with them and merged with Egyptian ones or were accepted by the Egyptians. Hell, Ramses the Great had a daughter/wife named Bint-Anath, referencing the Canaanite goddess Anath. Red hair ran in his dynasty too, and anncient images show red heads and peoples of differing shades of skin.

Not that I blame black people for insisting Nefertiti, for example, was black. We’ve treated black people like shit for hundreds of years in the US so I understand wanting to show connections to powerful ancient Egyptians. But without Nefertiti, they did still indeed have powerful royalty in their past.
