"Ima! Ima" (that's 'mommy,' right?)
Yup.
Trudy, my earliest memory regarding it is from when I was probably 3 years old (when it was still just me interested in that stuff, before my one-year-younger brother was also into such tv, definitely before sister #2 was born). It was probably one of the first tv shows whose subtitles I read, too.
annoyed that she and the bad guy have nearly the same name...
See, it was quite clear to me that the names on the show aren't like 'our' names. Nobody I knew was named Laura or Charles or Mary or anyhthing like that, so I knew that "Nelly" and my name were completely different things. Of course, at the time, those names sounded strange and exotic and special, much better than the 'regular' ones everybody kept using around here with real-life people. So I couldn't understand what was so strange with "Almanzo". It definitely wasn't further than the names I was used to than Willie or Harriet.
I always thought Book!Almanzo was hotter than TV!Almanzo.
One of the very first things I've ever done online, way before "Google" was a verb, was to track down pictures of the real "Little House" people. I was very pleased to discover that the real Almanzo looked nice.

Good. I've seen the actress in interviews. Little girls HATED her and would give her grief in public, but Melissa Gilbert would tell them she was actually nice.
The FBI is looking for some porn-busters.

Ow. I have a headache, and people will call me asking questions that have nothing to do with me. Argh.

Oh, poor little girl.
I think I mostly pitied her (um, the character, of course, not the actress). Oh, and her father. I kept all my "hate that character" to her mother, as far as I can remember.
Today I keep typing 's' instead of 'd'. It's like my keyboard has a special keyboards-cold or something.
Guyana Woman Convicted in Exorcism Death
September 21,2005 | GEORGETOWN, Guyana -- A Guyana jury has convicted a woman of manslaughter for killing a friend during an exorcism ritual.
Patricia Alves, 43, was found guilty late Tuesday of killing Kamille Seenauth, 34, on Feb. 15, 2002. She allegedly beat Seenauth in an attempt to drive evil spirits out of her.
Seenauth's battered body was found in a shallow grave in Alves' backyard the day after the beating. Neighbors called police after seeing a foot sticking out of the ground.
I only posted this because of the last bit. Let this be a lesson to us all: If you kil someone and bury their body in a shallow grave in your backyard, make sure you bury the body completely - don't leave part of the body sticking out of the ground.
In fact, I would go further: Your backyard is generally not a good place for a shallow grave.
I have a headache, and people will call me asking questions that have nothing to do with me.
I've resigned myself to this. What I haven't resigned myself to are the people who will call and ask questions that have nothing to do with me

I've already redirected them to the correct people on more than on occasion.
It's like, hellooo, little monkey, are you only capable of dialing one phone number?

What if you've got a really, really big and heavily forested backyard?

Yeah. That's why I said "generally." YYSfaSGMV. (Your yard's suitability for a shalow grave may vary.)
