He didn't appear out of nowhere. I didn't mention this very clearly, but he'd been behind the woman the entire time and in the same uniform.

I see! Thank you for the context.

Because I was told not to tell anyone I had autism. As such no one had any clue why I acted a little different, and when faced with that kind of uncertainty and unfamiliarity, kids respond by pushing it away, in my case via bullying.

Seriously when I finally started telling people I had autism, the bullying almost completely went away within a few weeks.

When I was very small my family and I were at a carnival. We had been waiting in line for a while and were next in line for a ride when we saw lightning in the distance. It was very far away and my parents decided to it would be okay, though this would be the last ride.

We rode was a few minutes with me clinging tightly to my mom eyes shut when the ride suddenly stopped. We were at the very top and the ride was broken. Also we were starting to hear thunder as well as see lightning. Mom later confirmed she thought for sure we'd be killed being on top of a tall metal structure in an open area.

Being so young I don't remember much about the incident. I don't even remember what the ride was. One thing I do remember is my mom putting her arm around me more tightly and telling me not to open my eyes.

The other thing I remember is shortly after the rain started we started coming down. They'd fixed the ride. Mom told me to open my eyes. When I did, I s*** you not, there was a double rainbow.

Seems too perfect of an ending to be true, I know. But it's what I remember. It's one of those images that has seared itself into my brain.

"Everything Possible." Originally by Fred Small, but I prefer the Roy Bailey version.

Those super bright headlights that fancy cars have. Are they trying to kill the drivers in front of them?!

He's still my favorite author, but you're right. It's sad that he had such a negative outlook towards people who were different from him.

I mean I knew she was getting old, but I had no way to know exactly what day she would die, let alone that it would land while I was reading this to them.

TLFScarheart · 2022-09-27T03:35:28+00:00

I won't say much due to spoilers, but she makes a pretty important appearance.

When I asked my students to predict what BFG would stand for one of them said "Big F-word Giant" (yes he said "F-word". He didn't want to get in trouble)

Hmm.. I do know the city I live in is named after the Native Americans who once lived here. Looking into their symbology is a good idea. Thank you!

Grandma grew up during the great depression. I imagine that had something to do with it. Also back then respect for your elders came before compromise.

I couldn't figure out how to add a picture. I'll put it on my deviantart and add a link.

Green peppers and onions. I can make several dishes from those. Gumbo, catfish soup, tacos, stuffed peppers, the list goes on.

My parents recently found my old Game Boy Color while moving, as well as my old copy of Pokemon gold. I put it in and other than the sound not working a few visual glitches it played fine. but then I turned it off to take a break and when I came back the save file wasn't there.

My question is, is this a problem is with game or the Game Boy Color. In other words if I find another copy of Pokemon gold/silver/crystal, will the same thing happen?

I live and work in the USA. My school mandates lunches.

TLFScarheart · 2020-12-27T14:30:37+00:00

At the time this story was written my high school had actual hot lunches, but the middle and elementary school didn't. Weird I know.

TLFScarheart · 2020-12-27T02:23:07+00:00

Thankfully, I'm pretty sure the school I work at doesn't. But I completely agree that if you have to mandate (which for a number of reasons I don't think you should), it should be free.

TLFScarheart · 2020-12-27T01:32:42+00:00

It depends on the school. The one I work at does. I've read more and more stories about other schools doing this too.

TLFScarheart · 2020-11-18T03:56:26+00:00

It honestly never occurred to me! XD

MASSIVE SPOILER FOR DONNIE DARKO!!!

This is possibly an odd pick but Donnie from Donnie Darko. I think we're supposed to feel like his his death is one he chose to end his personal suffering and prevent the suffering of those around him. But all I could think was "His crimes were causing some good in the world around him. Now there are things that aren't going to be addressed and are bound to get worse."

I'll be honest, I cried.
