Sorry about the airport evilness.
Does anyone know if it is ok if I cook my chili on the stove like I normally would until it is fully cooked and then put it in the crock pot on the lower setting all day?
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
sj - that's totally fine.
So I'm working on writing a Historical Tax Credit application for one of our buildings {only Civil War barracks still standing in Michigan and also rumored (like so many buildings in Michigan are) to be a stop on the Underground Railroad (although, this might have some merit here as the builder and owner of the building, Mark Norris, was a certified member)}. I have 340 pictures of the building that I printed out onto a contact sheet this morning.
I have discovered that this building is haunted.
Boss is laughing and a little bit freaked out.
Might have to call Ghost Hunters in and get some publicity and maybe contact Histories Mysteries to see if it really was a stop.

It's pretty typical stuff for LAX. All part of the reason I normally avoid this airport.

Ok, in my research I am finding out so many cool things about my hometown.
An article on Ypsi's role in the Underground Railroad. [link]
The the third paragraph, it talks of the depot of the Michigan Central Railroad being a spot where slaves might have hidden - it is right across the street from our building and might have been a hiding spot toward the end because our building wasn't built until 1861.

Thanks! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to kill anyone on NYE. Well, at least not the people I like.

The pictures. They aren't water or dust spots on the camera because then the exterior pictures would show them, too. And the spots are concentrated in a particular place in the building.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Are there people, Aimee, or just shapes?
I got completely freaked out a few months ago when a former co-worker told me her best friend is convinced her house is haunted. They live in a giant, old house that used to be a funeral home. Which didn't bother her until her three year old daughter told her about a specific "invisible friend"--a little boy with blue lips, who the child says, is "bad."
I got chills up my spine just typing that.

Sure. When you come to get me I'll show you.
Cash, just shapes.
