They put the milk in before the tea, so the pot lit itself on fire.

That raised freeway translated into a fallen ladder in my brain. Thought it was some photoshop image of a giant's ladder. Took me a minute. Good shot.

Been a Christian for a long time (1989). I've consumed copious amounts of ancient mythology and folklore. People who don't understand that you can read something that challenges your faith and still follow through with better understanding afterwards is the issue. If you read something and it doesn't make you think deeper about yourself, faith, world, or whatever what's the point? Those in the church (Christian or not) that tell you that reading something is a "sin" are probably ones that teeter on the edge of losing their grasp as it is and don't want you doing the same. Most of them can't explain why it's so challenging, they just know it's there.

The same way we don't praise Hitler for the good paintings. We don't celebrate people that do evil consistently.

I have also had this dream.

That's assuming they don't look at a sub and just say "you're now paid, congrats" and the mods just go along with it. I can see greedy mods seeing the ability to profit from that kind of forceful hand and then complaining about disengagement.

I keep telling my kids that the more you do it, the better it gets. I had to start journaling just to get my handwriting into shape. I don't like to journal, but need to be able to take legible notes during meetings. So, one fed into the other. Your cursive/script/magic runes look better than most other block print I'm seeing in local High Schools, so keep it up.

Just let the apprentice do it. Boss can't be too mad at someone just learning.

You got the bones of something that can work. I know plenty of people who have a phobia of mannequins. Having some of the "anomalies" being movement or head turns would crank up the creep factor. I kept going to the vent an door hoping they would be something, so you got environmental things going for you. Have fun with it, I'll re-check it after a bit.

Good job.

Interesting game. Got through on second shot once I realized what kinds of anomalies were possible. Might want to add more anomalies the higher up you go instead of sticking to just one per floor so the difficulty ramps and more is at stake as you go. I'll take some more time later and go above 8 and see how things progress or if it's just the same. There is a shell here for something very creepy.

Took you 9 seconds to come up with that one? Might want to shoot some grease in the gears, the hamster is getting tired.

My grandfather and his neighbor would sit on the front porch for a couple hours every few days. Neither would say much more than a handful of words, just vibe. Now all of the new-build homes don't have porches and it makes me sad.

You would imagine that someone would have already re-tried this idea and called it "bespoke gas service" or some nonsense. Put it as a subscription service and prolific nature of Love's or Buc-ee's and you would get people signing up like crazy.

Put the Laughter into Slaughter

Reading the directions on these kinds of tests they say something to the nature of:

Any line, no matter how faint, is considered positive.

So, yes. I had the same result in December. Hope you start feeling better soon.

I wonder if using baking paper would help with this. It can handle higher heat and may not stick like regular printer paper.

Artax from The Neverending Story

There is a certain point in a child's life where they are either going to hear it from you or hear it from a surgeon. My 11 year old had a desire to jump from high places for a time as well. He bruised his heel once and had a hard time walking for a week. Pain is a very good educator. Dissuade them from anything that may end their short life early, but if it's just going to hurt, let them go. My guidance for kids generally is to be mindful not to tear up the furniture or harm others, but if this hurts after I've warned you it's on you. Here is the first-aid kit. We ultimately got them a trampoline, which was extensively used.

Summoned from the underpants.

It's a free wifi service provided by the airline while on the flight. One ad, when most other places are charging $10-20 per flight? I'll watch the single ad. I'd rather that then someone, say, injecting adverts into sites and services. which is very possible.
