Oh yeah not big on horror then I can see why King wouldn't be on your top list of reads FOR SURE. The Dark Tower books are more fantasy than his straight out horror. Also another good book of his that's fantasy is Eyes of the Dragon. Gah, I remember being in middle school and having it taken away from me because I was reading in Math instead of paying attention. WHOOPS.
It's horrible. I've told her a million times that's the reason I DO teach adults because I'd have already been sent to jail for not only killing children but their good for nothing parents as well!
My grandma's house and shed is still so full of stuff that we'll probably NEVER got through. My aunt lives in my grandma's house and hasn't even started going through any of it even though we really should. There's all kinds of weird stuff like the bins. Oh man my grandma USED to have all the old National Geographics and stuff but when my aunt and her husband decided to "reno" the upstairs they threw them all away. They also threw away a paper with the front page headline about Bonnie and Clyde being killed. Apparently my aunt didn't think it was worth anything. WTF!? The worst part is they never finished the upstairs so it's just gutted and walled off. :( Which makes me so sad because I grew up living upstairs off and on most my life nad now it's just a shell.
Yeah, me and horror go together about as well as oil and water. I get scared easily. Those shows about haunted houses? Can't even watch the previews. It's pathetic. I watched that new ABC show, "The River"? Yeah, slept with my bed side light on. I blame the stupid moving dolls.
I think that just goes to show how much of a bad ass she is. Are you sure she isn't related to Chuck Norris? ;)
Aw man, if you were here, I would GIVE you all of my grandma's old National Geographics! We're getting rid of them there are so many! Are there any in particular you are looking for? I can look for you before the estate sale this weekend. That's sad about the newspaper though. That would have been cool to see! And also really, really sad about the upstairs. I'm gonna be sad to see my parents move out of the house they're in now for that reason!
Dude! Freaking moving dolls are terror from HELL! I can totally understand the need to sleep with a light on. Eyleen is TOTALLY related to Chuck Norris. Lol. She's hoping to get transferred to another school or what she really wants is to work with Hospital Homebound with the kids too sick to go to school. It'd be the perfect job for her because she knows what the kids are going through. OMG if you gave me all those NatGeo's E would kill us both. Lol. She already thinks I have too much crap. Oh man my aunt isn't going to be moving anytime soon but eventually years down the road I don't know what I'm gonna do. I swear I'll uproot everything to go live in that house so it doesn't leave the family.
Agreed! I also hate things moving on their own. Not. Funny. Seriously, if I ever buy a house? First thing I'm asking is "Is it or has it ever been haunted?" My realtor is going to hate me, but I just can't buy one if it has been. xD
Awww, that sounds like it would be a great job for her! Plus, you get to work with kids who probably won't bite. And if they do, you're right near medical supplies. How hard is it to get into that?
I'd do the same thing. Unfortunately, I will probably never be able to afford my parent's house, but still. I could rent it out to 12 billion people at once, right?
That's a very good question to ask your realtor! It's pretty hard to get into the program but we're hoping if she can get a medical transfer, which at this point with kids attacking her and pulling on her back when they try to climb her (which isn't good since she had lesions to the bones in her spine)hopefully it'll atleast be easy to get her out of the school she's in now. My grandma's house is so old it's super paid off so I'll just hang out for free. :D Though since it's already over 100 years old by the time I'd live in it it'd be close to 130 so it'd probably need MASSIVE even more so than now overhauls.
Totally a legit question. And if they think I'm nuts, I'll just also tell them I plan on having 4 billion cats, so it better have room. If I'm gonna scare them off, I'm gonna scare them off in style.
Man, it sounds like she's the perfect candidate! What are they thinking?! When does she hear back regarding that? I hope she gets out soon. It sounds like a crappy situation. :(
Dude, awesome! I'd consider moving into my grandmother's house for that reason if it wasn't on the opposite side of town that I need to be. I'd be able to get my hound dog then though...
I work up north, so my drive is about 30-40 minutes without heavy rush hour traffic. The house is down south from where I live right now, an extra 15 or so minutes away. So it would make my commute an hour long, though it is right by the freeway. We'll see. It depends on how much she's going to ask for rent on it.
Also, long ass meeting was long. And the guy presenting the project to us gave us "homework" - to create this template in the system. Which I'm cool with. I'm not cool with him assuming I'm going to blow off making the template until the day before it's due. Why would you say that?!
Eww yeah that is kinda long. I do not miss the commute. I live only 16 miles from my old job but on a good day it'd take 45 minutes to get to work because it was the center of town.
Wait did he say that specifically to you or everyone? WTF?
I have vacation next week, and this guy wanted to set up a follow up meeting next week. My coworker told him we'd need to make it the end of this week or on the 13th. The guy was like "Yeah, I'm cool with the 13th, but I'm hesitant to wait that long because I don't want you guys leaving this until the last minute." Seriously? What am I, twelve? He then proceeded to backtrack and talk about how he does that exact thing ("Actually, you know, I'm really super lazy so I'm the opposite. I like to do things early because I hate to have things on my plate.")
What a butthole. I hate people who know they've said something assholey and then try and cover it up but you're still like >_>
OMG Bradley Cooper's awful mustache has my sister in a fit of gags today. She keeps texting me about how horrible it was at the Oscars last night and I'm cracking up.
My sister was in FITS about it last night. She texted and I was like dude I'm driving and I can't find anything on my phone. I seriously think he does stuff on purpose to ruin his hotness.
Seriously. Who else would have an almost porn stache? And still look better than the average man? Though I'll admit, this particular stache is butt ugly.
