Did I tell you I have a weird phobia of old places/things?
Are you picking up vibrations from the recently deceased again?
How about this abandoned roller coaster track in the fog?
That's one of my all time favorites.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
THAT one creeped me out.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

See, and I don't even believe in that stuff. It's more of a "human just the same as me walked past this like I walk past that church downtown" I'm trying to link it to that book ita mentioned, "The Earth Without Us" because it has that kind of feel to me.

Hey! Here's the amusement park I grew up with! Pirate's World! (Really)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Pirate's World!
I was really hoping that this was an amusement park *for* pirates.

I think the creepiest place I've ever been is Gettysburg. You look out over those fields and it's like you can feel the weight of everything that happened there. It's got a very odd vibe. The natural beauty of the place probably enhances it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
For financial planning, P-C, you want a fee-only financial planner [link]. They don't sell investments; they just help you figure out how to invest for a fee.
How much do they cost?
vw's brother crunched the numbers and gave me some estimates for monthly payments. They're higher than I would have liked. Oops. I don't relish the prospect of paying close to triple what I'm paying in rent.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm with Daisy on the creeps getting.
Is he picking up panda poop, Sparky? I guess that actual job might get boring, but so fun to mention at cocktail parties!
It's been around 5 years for me, askye. From what I recall, I was getting minimum wage plus a few dollars and hour, and management got a bit more than that.
Of course, the minimum wage hasn't gone up in a while.
It's hard to take a paycut, especially if they value yo that much. Any chance of negotiating your job into part-time, maybe you wouldn't hate it so much if you didn't do it all day every day, and thatwould give you more time for classes. And then pick up some evening and weekend hours in retail. That can give you a lot of variety, which can be satisfying, but it can also balloon into far too much work during, say, Christmas shopping season.

I have heard that it is very freaky to take a metal detector out to certain parts of France because the trees and fields are so riddled with bullets from WWI and WWII. Verdun, Ardennes, Somme, Passchendaele.
