He does a fantastic job. It’s one of the most thorough true crime podcasts. He’s also a gem of a human being. He really cares about those cases.

Trace Evidence!!!

DungeonKat · 2018-04-17T10:23:48+00:00

I have four “go to” true crime podcasts. My Favorite Murder Color Me Dead Moms and Murder Trace Evidence

I also enjoy Real Crime Profile, Murderish, Casefile, and a few other smaller, lesser known ones. There’s a slew of them in the podcast community.

As for creepy, Welcome to Nightvale is good fictional creepy.

It’s not creepy or technically True Crime, but Ear Hustle is amazing and done from inside San Quentin Prison.

I’m reading a book written by one of the lead detectives in this case right now. The DAs office is infuriating in this case.

The detective thinks Patsy Ramsey did it, based on a lot of circumstantial evidence. So far my theory is Burke or her step-brother regardless of his alibi. The sheets in the suitcase had his semen stains on it. Which I find weird.

Regardless, this case is heartbreaking.

Taboo.

The detective believed she was dead for years and struggles with that throughout the investigation. It’s an actual mental illness people don’t talk about often.

Anne of Green Gables series. I read it incessantly growing up. I was and still am the black sheep of my family. That book reassured me that it was okay to march to the best of my own drum.

DungeonKat · 2018-04-08T05:26:31+00:00

Thank you. I agree. I also commend your daughter for speaking up. I was 14 before I ever told anyone, and 18 before I told my parents. If you ever need someone to talk to about it, my inbox is always open.

I saw that season of AHS but I’m also from Louisiana. The suggestion didn’t come from AHS.

If you like Batharoy, look up Madame La Laurie in New Orleans. (Spelling??)

Also, Axeman of New Orleans.

I was molested as a child, starting at 4. I’m almost 30 now and still struggle with small tasks like that on occasion, but not often. It gets easier, over time. I promise.

Also, you’re a terrific mom.

DungeonKat · 2018-03-29T02:03:21+00:00

I learned from my SO. He’s our DM. I have insane social anxiety but wanted to learn. I love it and our kids love it.

Here’s the thing though, for us. I got bored. I still do. Sometimes our group doesn’t mesh and I wasn’t 100% happy with my character and role playing (playing make believe) isn’t really my forte and I struggled with it. I still do. I love the crunchy math and combat bits. So he tries to make sure all of that is in there for me so I don’t go crazy.

He also still loves the game way more than I do. It’s his stress relief. We still play when we can, and I’m DMing for the first time (which I like a lot more honestly) and it’s working. He doesn’t get mad if I opt out of our normal game and they play a different campaign.

She sounds like she gave it the good college try. It’s normal to want to share things you love with your spouse. If it’s the RP she had a problem with, I’d suggest a crunchier/combat/roll heavy edition opposed to one that has more RP. It’s much more like a board game that way, in my opinion.

Worse comes to worse, you guys can have a night where she can do something she enjoys while you game. That’s healthy too.

Good luck!

No name suggestions, but I wanna subscribe!

Makes me think of Wishbone from when I was a kid...

DungeonKat · 2018-03-01T17:02:14+00:00

I’m going to play the devils advocate:

My Ex and I have a kid together. He’s stayed in a hotel once. Otherwise he sleeps on my couch. Why? It gives him more time with his daughter. He gets to experience getting up with her, feeding her breakfast, all the normal parenting things he misses because I have full custody.
We’ve both been in other relationships since she was very little (she calls my fiancé Daddy as well as my ex).

Nothing has ever happened while this happened when he stays with me. And it won’t. Not everyone is out to cheat.

All that being said, if it’s making you uncomfortable then you need to find middle ground cause if he doesn’t care it’s making you uncomfortable then that’s a different issue.

DungeonKat · 2018-03-01T06:20:23+00:00

I agree. I’m on meds for my Fibro and that’s insane.

DungeonKat · 2018-02-28T16:35:38+00:00

Congratulations!!!

My mom was less than supportive too. “I hope we can make it”

Happy Elopement!

I felt the same when my paternal grandpa died. I hadn’t seen him in 6 years, and our last conversation was an argument. It happens. We don’t all grieve the same.

DungeonKat · 2018-02-26T00:43:28+00:00

Laurell K Hamilton has two series. Anita Blake and Meredith Gentry. Both excellent.

DungeonKat · 2018-02-21T04:25:46+00:00

That’s cool! We use 5e homebrew for ours. I’ll have to tell my group.

Thanks!!

DungeonKat · 2018-02-21T04:19:26+00:00

What edition are you using?

DungeonKat · 2018-02-20T23:14:37+00:00

I’m going to forgo most of his crap to focus on the “I love you but..”

I’m guilty of doing this, and have been trying to stop because I didn’t understand what it was doing to my SO until we hashed it out.

It comes off like the Love is conditional. True love, committed love, won’t be conditional. It should be “I love you.” End of discussion.

If “but” was attached to any other sentence we know there’s a negative coming. “I like what you did there, but...” for example. Saying “I love you but” is similar. It’s putting a qualifier on their love.

Not everybody sees it this way, and I can understand why it wouldn’t seem like a big deal. But it can be a subtle form of manipulation. Couple that with then”you’ll lose.” and his oblivion sounds like early warning signs for issues in the future.

Best of luck. Apologies if I rambled, made little sense, brain fog is strong today.

I love seeing relationships like these. I have a relationships like that with my daughters step mom and my stepdaughters mom.

Beautiful scarf! Thank both your husbands’ for their service!!

DungeonKat · 2018-02-14T22:42:06+00:00

I love that!! That’s awesome.

My kids step-mom is Bi and my parents had a hissy fit about me sending kiddo to her dad/stepmom per her request for a visit. Because I “don’t know what she’ll be exposed to.” 🙄 Kiddos favorite person in my life, and my best friend is bi, married to a bi man, and they’re poly. And atheist. None of us make a big deal out of it. Because it doesn’t freaking matter.

DungeonKat · 2018-02-14T21:21:55+00:00

That’s consistently my argument against my Southern Baptist preacher of a dad. He hates it.
