In fact, I would go further: Your backyard is generally not a good place for a shallow grave.
What if you've got a really, really big and heavily forested backyard?
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
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.

For that, you'll need pie.
Also, I can't get in touch with my husband.
I'd say he needs a cell phone, but he'd actually need to turn it on and carry it with him for that to be useful.

Damnit! Should have had dessert.

I always thought Book!Almanzo was hotter than TV!Almanzo.
I remember seeing a photo of the two of them (Almanzo and Laura) when they temporarily moved to Florida--Laura has a gun strapped to her hip and Almanzo is sporting a sexy 'stache.
Real life is so much better than TV.
But, as a sad follow up to that statement, A&E was rerunning the "Child Stars" show over the weekend in which Melissa Gilbert was part of a roundtable discussion group filled with former child stars (from Patty Duke to Kim Fields). Gilbert told about the letter she received in the early years of the show from a little girl who wrote that her father told her she should be "just like Laura," and she tried to comply, so he would stop hitting her.
