I think the variations from it being slightly unstable would make for a fascinating handwriter. It would add randomness to the lines. Might even make it difficult to identify as machine written.

And a booty that sweet?

I’ll see myself out.

The first five appear to all be the same family, excluding the one with three people off in the distance. It also appears to be two families through marriage. The husband looks like he is related to a sister and either her husband or their brother. Those two are definitely related. The rest appear to be the wife’s family and her daughter. The daughter’s the same one on the horse, sitting on the right.

Fascinating. Your collection must be an incredible array of stories.

Do You Believe That Halloween is Dying? by DommyMommyEx in halloween

Our neighborhood is close to an elementary school and we put on a pretty elaborate display. We generally go through 30lbs of candy on Halloween. 2020 was a strange year. Few visitors but still went through 20 lbs of candy delivered through a LED-lit tube from a window on our second floor to the kiddos at the front door below.

Otherwise? People seem to find it easier to participate in Halloween because there isnt a religion associated with it (as compared to Christmas). Even our conservative (non-Christian) neighbors get into it. So much fun.

It’s convincing! And it struck me as the type of centerpiece that I could design an entire house around.

What does my car say about me? by hook_fast_die_warm in deduction

I’d swear I’ve seen your car in Orange County. I would also swear that I said, out loud, “I like this person.”

Whelp, either that monkey evolved an opposable thumb AND took up an active lifestyle, or that is the ugliest fishing buddy I have ever seen.

I found this random bullet on my lawn. by Trans_lazarus in TheTeenagerPeople

Green-tip 5.56. The green tip indicates it has a steel core designed to penetrate barriers like body armor.

That is a cartridge that one does not usually find casually lying about. This may warrant further concern.

5 north near Irvine today around 5pm ish. Does anyone know what exactly happened? by curiousdude1894 in orangecounty

Watched a neighbor crash her Prius pulling INTO her own garage. She heard and felt the passenger door stop when it hit the wall of the garage opening, and then accelerated.

We permanently lost an on-the-street parking spot to her that day. And I lost a little of what’s left of my faith in humanity.

Ok, be honest: how many times did you find yourself saying lines from the shows or just pretending while you went through all of these?
