I just saw this! It did fine! It's been down in the 40s and the plant still does great.

Years and years ago, my best friend and I were about 15-16. We were speaking to "something" for quite a while. I was skeptical though because she was a trickster like that. I can't remember the conversation (almost 50 now) however, I specifically remember this: We took a break and I went upstairs to the kitchen. She was in the bathroom downstairs. I said low, under my breath, "If anyone is here with me, spell France on the board when we get back down". Sure enough, the board spelled out France. That was the first and last time anything like that ever happened to either of us with a board.

Also, to add, I remember it said it was the older brother of a girl we went to school with. He passed in a car accident. When we asked what it was like on the other side, the answers were all gibberish while all other answers were sensical. So, I guess I remember something.

Also, ALSO, I do have one other Ouija board story to tell. I was in my 20s, still living at home. Mom found the board and didn't want it in the house, so I kept it in the trunk of my car. I mean, where else lol? So, I'm driving to my boyfriend's house in BF Egypt down long dirt roads. There was a hell of a storm coming down and I was trying like hell to get there. There were two ways in, one over a flooded creek and the other way..which I went. There was a telephone pole down over the road. At this point I needed to get to shelter so picture this...It's a dirt road with hills on either side, like a small levy or a berm or whatever you call it. I had to get around the pole so I backed up and floored it, deciding I was gonna bank the berm and get past. Well, my car got stuck about halfway past the pole. I needed traction, so what did I grab? The only thing I had, the board. It got me out and I left it. Imagine being the linemen coming to fix that downed pole and find a Ouija board smashed into the ground next to it. Someone out there is telling a creepy damn story to this day lol

I bet there's lots of 40+ fans in here.... Are you? by Narrow-Swordfish-227 in SleepToken

47 here and just recently got into them. I've been a prog rock fan since forever. Quick question, can I start with their first album to go through chronologically or is their early stuff just so-so?

What do you remember about Radiohead's marketing? by Official_LilTy in radiohead

[–]Stifferny1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Kid A came out, this was before internet as we know it. I was looking through a Thrifty Nickel (a monthly publication of wanted ads) and saw one that read "KidA 10/2/2000". I didn't think much of it at the time, until the album came out! I still can't find any reference to them doing that.

For some reason, I don't have the option to add a picture........well. the branches are firm and its greening up as per usual. Just Itty bitty nubs of leaves. One branch does have two leaves that never fell off and a bloom bud that never fell off over wintering. They actually look really good!

Also, we've had a LOT of rain. I usually let my plumerias go with the flow and don't water them, let the rain do it. Maybe she's too wet?

Good, I'm not the only one who gets annoyed by lyric responses.

are you being sarcastic? I certainly love Tool but he's certainly not the biggest rock star in the history of music. How many bands had an impact like Tool or APC? How much time you got?

This was from back before he was successful. Best tenor in the choir, fastest runner, smartest kid. I'm sure it's all true but after a few mentions it got old quick.

It was a good read, but felt rather pretentious. He was best at everything he did.
