That certainly explains it. I had at least one thing happen to me here, the neighborhood is only 51 years old, but there was human inhabitation a lot earlier, and evidence of some settlements not far from this area. I wouldn't fool with Ouija boards either, check your area for people who deal with that type of phenomena. I think it's fascinating, but certainly not entertaining, like a lot of people think it would be.

Warm Shoe <br
Growing up with 5 siblings and being a clothes horse, my brothers would often take my clothes without asking. I remember one time in particular when I made my brother give me my shoes back. I put my feet in them and the shoe was warm and moist. To this day I have a thing about sharing shoes. I find it almost unbearable to cruise the clothing department in a thrift store and catch the collective smell of all those old, used shoes for sale. <b>It makes the barefoot in the spider scene look pretty inviting.</b <br
your comment about the bare foot + spider made me laugh out lou <br
Warm shoes... ick! A warm seat on public trans/subway/bus... eeeew

Renaissance Fairs LOL yes they are creepy <br
I've only ever been to one and guess what it was in the U.P youpee near Ironwood MI about 7 years ago.. I was driving home to Calgary and took what I thought was a shortcut and passed thru some little berg holding a Renaissance fair,,the weather was drizzle and gloomy, setup in the towns park all these little booths etc and people dressed up.. all I could think of at the time was this is like something from the Twilight Zone.. I took a quick look round and left HA.

Mowing my yard on the riding mower. A couple of years ago, I ran over a yellowjacket nest, got swarmed and stung a few time. It happened twice that year, now I can barely do it. Now, I when I'm on it, I keep a sharp eye out and I'm so tense that I'm exhausted when I'm done <br
Also, snakes...I had one in my shed, on the deck of the previously mentioned riding mower. It was black, the mower is black, when I jumped in the seat it went across my foot. When I came back to myself, I was running, screaming, and cursing across my yard. It was so loud that the neighbor came out to see what was wrong. My wife was sitting on ground laughing.

Roaches
Rank right up there with snakes in my book. We had a Cockroach house next door when the 20 ro 25 illegals that were living there moved out (with the help of INS). There were so many roaches in that house that the floors literally moved.

Renaissance Wedding
I catered a wedding with a Renaissance group as the invitees. All the food was served on trenchers, round loaves of bread, and there was a jousting for the entertainment of the guests. There was a clear caste system and the more lowly were seated the furtherest from the wedding party. The party ate first, then the decond tier and the lowest weren't allowed to eat from the tables but waited until leftovers, bones and hunks of bread were tossed in their directions. Real fist fights ensued and they wrestled for the morsels of food. It was the sickest display of human behavior I have ever witnessed.

I don't mind Renaissance reenactors, but it sounds like that group took it way too far.

What Gets Me:
Is that "Renaissance" re-enactors are not really re-enacting the Renaissance, which was a period of growing enlightenment and progress. They are really re-enacting the Dark Ages, a time before the Renaissance, when medieval mores held sway <br
Mention of the Dark Ages always reminds me of the late Charles Pierce's impersonation of Katharine Hepburn in The Lion in Winter; speaking of the Dark Ages, he would say, using Hepburn's voice: "No one was gay - everyone was glum! Can you imagine going to your first glum bar? <br
Okay, it was funnier when Pierce did it...

Humans!
Creep me out. Their unpredictability, viciousness, scheming, nastiness, violence, malice, sadism, cowardice, etc.... never fail to creep me out; and they smell <br
I find that I constantly get creeped out by what other humans think and how they act <br
We know what snakes, spiders, sharks and maggots do. They are not motivated by grudges and hate, or want to satisfy some perverse obsession or sadistic inclination. Victorian furniture only looks creepy, but it doesn't mean anyone any harm <br
Even creepier is the direct relationship between intelligence and creepiness. The more intelligent and sophisticated humans are, the greater is their capacity for creepiness.
Humans = creepy <br
Don't get me wrong, I am not a misanthropist and actually enjoy other peoples' company very much <br

Creeeepy Space Invaders...
Sounds like a space invader. They are even worse when the don't shower and have bad breath. Makes me want to pull out a mega-a-phone and annouce,"STAY BACK I DON'T WANT TO SMELL YOU"

Spiders. I hate spiders .
I would have to say spiders. I loathe them. especially the furry ones I think they are called Wolf Spiders. I used to live in a very old apartment in a reconverted Victorian house. The caller walls were made out of stones stacked on top of each other and they leaked like a sieve in the rain,had cracks and all sorts of bugs could come and go as they pleased .The laundry was in that awful cellar. I absolutely hated going in that cellar. When I would do washing, I would get surprised often by a wolf spider or two. I remember this one time there was one in my downy ball as I was filling it with softener( the supplied early 80's Norge 20 lb capacity machine did not have a softener dispenser) .I thought I was going to have a heart attack. That apartment now is only an unpleasant memory thank God. Now I am so happy to be living in a place with a finished cellar and main floor Maytag washer dryer.

I'll fess up
Table saws really get to me. I can use them (in fact used one a few days ago) but I really, really dislike any job which requires me to use one in order to finish the work. I've often put off jobs for weeks because if them.

I remember visiting the Renaissance Faire when it was still taking place up near Sears Point raceway about 10 or more years ago. <br
I drove my '50 Plymouth sedan there. As I was getting out of the car, another carload of people in period costume was also disembarking. One of them asked me what year my car was. "It's a fifty", I said. Then, I had to add, "That is, NINETEEN fifty"... I got a big chuckle out of it, but they didn't seem at all amused. Go figure <br
The actual Faire was OK, although I can't say I was ready to get into the costuming etc. I do remember a ravishing young blonde woman who had set up a little podium/booth where she was creating really good calligraphy. She had to be one of the most stunningly beautiful women I've ever seen. Amazing

Poisonous snakes. I really don't mind non-poisonous snakes, but don't expect me to let one slither around in my arms <br

Derek, you are right about the furry spiders!
They are called wolf spiders and, yes, they seem to prefer dark, moist basements, woodpiles, outhouses, anywhere they're not often disturbed. We have them by the hundreds at our cabin in northern Minnesota. I absolutely refuse to go to the woodpile to get wood for the camp fire after dark. It's nothing to have three or four on a single piece of wood and I will not have them crawl up my arm! We also put those hanging no-pest strips in the shed and outhouse to keep them out.

Well the name-calling and the ugliness has resulted in the loss of a new member. He and I have been in correspondence together in that I feel responsible for bringing light and attention to his post. It looks like he and I are on a good footing with each-other. <br
I so much want to lash-out and lower myself to the levels of behavior previously noted and exemplified above in this thread. (And believe me I have done so in the past and can "out-tw@t" anyone, easily.) However I fancy myself to be the Embassador of Peace [no snickering, bitches!!!!!] and strive to bring harmony to this place when I can. Let's celebrate our similarites as humans and loving spiritual beings, and not let egos and our other lower human qualities rule. <br
I personally want to see an end to name-calling and egotistical flare-ups. And stop feeding the GD trolls! I may dislike some screen personas, but that doesn't mean I don't care for the person BEHIND that persona! Unless I have met a member in person, I refuse to have an opinion on 'their worthiness to breathe the same air I do'.vWho, after all am I to judge anyone? <br
Here is my latest writing to our 'dearly dpearted': <br <br <br <br
Hi Melvin <br
I'm so sorry you needed to leave. Folks like you (decent) are very much needed and appreciated. Thank you for you kindness. I'm upset that you were driven out and am going to give those nasty girly-boys a piece of my mind (not too big a piece; I need all that I have left!) . Please never end your quest to persevere and never give up hope. May these events not deter you from loving your hobby. This site appears to be a magnet for the mentally unique. (read as: twisted). Please feel free to contact me in the future I can be of assistance on any level. You are surely fondly regarded despite what the troublemakers may have said or done. <br
I'm going to post this on the site. I will not post any other correspondence we may have nor will I post your words. Ever. <br
I'm fuming angry right now. Just to reiterate, I was not at all offended by your thoughts or opinions and, in my book, you did nothing wrong. Wishing us all a rapid healing <br
Best regards
Stev <br
I sincerely wish us all a rapid healing, patience, tranquility, peace, kindness and understanding. <br
I also ask that we all try to exhibit the BEST parts of our combined masuclitnty and feminintiy rather than the worst attributes of each gender! <br
If anyone feels the need to sit in judgment of this post, please keep the heavy stuff in a pvt email to me, where you can joyfully rip me a new (and perhaps much tigher ) @$$hole. <br
And everyone BE NICE, or I will personally send the Christianists and the Republicans to come get you! BOO! *LOL*

Now here is a post that will have 90% of members feeling def
~I may dislike some screen personas, but that doesn't mean I don't care for the person BEHIND that persona! <br
If I stopped associating with members who have PURPOSELY hurt me, gossiped, started or fueled rumors, had behnd-the-scenes 'slaugher' campaigns via telephone or e-mail, I'd have no one left <br
Believe me, I know EXACTLY who you are and what you do, but I 'love' you all anyway. If you knew any better or had more sense you wouldn't. But 'girls' will be girls <br
And if you are feeling guilty and think this is about you, perhaps it is! If the shoe fits Cinderella.... lo <br
Nothing beats FORGIVENESS, especially now during Lent <br
I ahve asked all for forgiveness of MY transgressions and hope I have receeived it <br

Ok that's enough
Togs, really <br
Can we PLEASE STOP using the word "Christianist" (a word that the Troll has introduced to us)? And same goes for "JEEBUS". I so happen to be a Christian (without the 'ist'), I know how to spell Jesus, and that is VERY OFFENSIVE to me. I have sent you an email saying the same thing but you didn't even respond <br
I know a lot of people here don't believe or don't care, but they're the same people the don't want anyone else to say anything offensive to them <br
I thought this place was relatively safe now that the troll is on hiatus, but I guess not <br
OH and another thing.. "BREEDER"? WTF? Is that you guys' word for heterosexual? Another way to categorize people that aren't like you <br
I have a feeling aw is about to lose a long time member (me). I know, "don't go away mad, just go away". I'll have to rethink all of this, because what creeps me out nowadays isn't the Acid Queen, but worrying if I'm going to get pissed off once again while reading posts on a forum.

Yes I did respond <br
And if you were able to read the meaning more carefully and creatively/intuitively instead of literally you'd see i'm tormenting the orignal user of that word and I find it just as disgusting as you do. <br
Let's keep it off the boards please.
