Little girls HATED her and would give her grief in public

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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 after 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.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shallow graves are rarely a good idea, especially if they can be linked to you through legal paperwork.

I have a sinus headache. Beats a migraine, hands down, but it would be nice if it were to leave.

On the advice of many wise people, I went out and had bacon.

Bacon has made my stomach happy, but it has not soothed my soul.

What is even happening?

You didn't have enough bacon then, Dana.

What is the right dosage of bacon to combat hurricane hysteria?

I mean, when the idiots in the booth behind you at IHOP are talking about storm surge, I feel like the hurricane has already won.

Also, I can't get in touch with my husband.

Your backyard is generally not a good place for a shallow grave.

I wonder if the woman in question was just batfuck crazy enough to not feel like she had anything to cover up, and to do a piss-poor job of finishing her exorcism duties.
