Fifty sure-fire ways to detect paganism without having to resort to a
dunking stool or wart-inspection.
1) Never puts any rubbish out on refuse-collection day. I mean, re-
cycling and composting is fine, but you can take it too far.
2) You casually ask what phase the moon is in, and she tells you down
to the exact number of days, hour and minute of rising, position on
horizon, and current angle of declination.
3) All the stray cats in the neighbourhood tend to congregate in her
garden (and use your own as their litter).
4) A screech owl has chosen the lamp-post outside her house as its
favorite calling-post. That's just when it's getting warm at night
and you like to sleep with the window open.
5) Doesn't cut down the weeds in her garden; in fact it looks more
like she's cultivating them. Needless to say, you get the seeds
wafting over onto your pristine lawn.
6) Most of her clothes on the washing line are black.
7) The local kids talk in whispers as they go past her house, then
start running at the last moment.
8) Nobody trick-or-treats her house; not after the incident when the
kids' costumes were less scary than hers when she opened the door to
them. (She was embracing the Crone that year no doubt!)
9) Footprints on the roof. And the trees in her flight-path have been
pruned down. I swear it's true!
10) She can't even make a simple sandwich without adding fresh herbs
to it. And don't ask her for a cup of tea unless you want something
yellow coloured and smelling of flowers.
11) She hardly ever gets junk mail. You ask her what her secret is
and she confides that she returns it to sender after writing
something on in strange curly writing.
12) When you pop next door for a chat, the kettle is always already
on.
13) The Jehovah's Witnesses never call (not anymore; not after the
last time :-).
14) Keeps the local scented-candle shop solvent.
15) Has a pond full of frogs (and you haven't seen that bothersome
double-glazing salesman around for a while).
16) She's always smiling, darn her!
17) She goes dressed as normal to a Hallowe'en fancy dress party; and
wins first prize.
18) Her house always smells of incense.
19) Has named her four cats Hecate, Kali, Diana, and Moonbeam. (Or
her rats Devon and Cornwall)
20) Her bumper sticker reads "I brake for toads".
21) Frequently gets raided by the drug squad who confiscate large
amounts of dried green leaves; they always return them with apologies
after analysis.
22) At Christmas, it seems like half the garden has been moved into
the house.
23) You sometimes hear the sound of singing and dancing through the
wall. If you look out of the window, it is usually a full moon.
24) She was given a bodhram drum for her birthday. And she plays it
at midnight in the fields. And she's got a blasted tamborine.
25) You discover that her realistic resin skull ornament in her
living room, actually is real.
26) You catch her washing a crystal ball along with the dishes.
27) She wears a lot of silver jewelry, even when doing the gardening.
And bat ear-rings for goodness-sake.
28) You knock on her door and she answers it naked except for a
toweling robe. You apologize for disturbing her in the bath, but
notice that her hair isn't wet.
29) Irritating tendency to hum a lot. What's she got to be so happy
about, huh?
30) She has a tame robin that will eat from her hand in the garden.
That can't be natural.
31) Never catches a cold, even though she walks barefoot most of the
time. In the snow as well.
32) Doesn't kill spiders. Not even big hairy long-legged ones that
suddenly appear from the waste-pipe whilst you're having a bath.
33) She listens to what you are saying like she really cares.
34) She has lots of female friends who come round every few months.
When you ask what they get up to, she tells you that they just have
cakes and ale and a good natter.
35) You catch her hugging a tree.
36) Her dinner-set is decorated with Celtic patterns.
37) She has a mail-order account with a semi-precious gem wholesaler.
38) You notice that the parish priest crosses himself whenever he
walks past her house.
39) She never watches television. And she has shelves full of books
with black spines and silver-lettered titles.
40) To your certain knowledge she has never set foot in the local
church. In fact, you have heard rumours that she has been barred from
it.
41) She makes jars of quince and mandrake relish for the Women's
Institute coffee morning jumble sale.
42) You ask to borrow a pack of cards for an impromptu bridge
evening, and there are 78 in the pack.
43) You have never known her to visit her GP.
44) When you talk with her, she maintains eye contact all the time.
45) Expectant mothers are forever visiting her. Also women who become
expectant mothers a month after visiting her.
46) You ask her for suggestions for nice walks in the area, and they
all go by way of stone circles and strange earth mounds.
47) She only buys organic. And you just bet that she's a vegetarian
as well. (Well, maybe not stricly vegetarian.. ..)
48) When you ask her about her vacation plans, she tells you she will
be camping in a tee-pee in the Brecon Beacons.
49) There aren't any mirrors in her house. Or clocks.
50) She tells you that she is coming out of the broom closet, joins
Witches' Voice, and erects a stained-glass pentacle window in her
front door . Ooo what a give-away!
I'm pagan and my friends and I thought this was hysterical, how about you?
Very funny! Some of them hit pretty close to the mark :)
My cat is named Pyewacket, after a familiar I read about.
Jehovah Witnesses don't visit me anymore.
Lots of books with black binding %26amp; silver runes on the spines!
Thanks for the laugh!!

Nothing tragic please...What is the saddest thing you have seen or heard about associated with Valentines Day?
Years ago, my wife and I would celebrate with a dinner out, and then champagne and "marital priveledges" at the local "hot tub" hotel.
I would always check in early and go make sure the room was clean(I always re-clean a hot tub and flush the jets with bleach).
While I was checking in there was a young lady who was checking in and she was just over-flowing with giggly smiles. I watched as she went through a similar routine to my own. She brought in flowers and wine and food, followed by a beautiful nightgown on a hanger. I smiled thinking that she was maybe looking foward to being engaged that night. Fast-foward a few hours, my wife and I are pulling in front of our room...rushing out of the door of the is the young women, tears streaming down her face, wearing her nightgown..she jumped in her car and drove off. We looked in the room..it was all set-up for a big romantic night except for the phone which had been torn out of the wall. I always wondered what had happened.
Nothing tragic please...What is the saddest thing you have seen or heard about associated with Valentines Day?
The saddest thing I've heard, was someone's mom dying on valentines day. It was sooo sad.
Reply:maybe she was fooling around with some sleaze bag and he never showed up. what do you care what she was doing. shutup and myob (mind your own business) stop being so noisy.

Describe the poets style and voice in the poem listed below. What is the poet saying?
Okay you poetry lovers... let's get some interaction on this wonderful poem.:)
X
(by Mary Malone)
Do not reach out to me from where you are,
So young in form, so living, free of time.
For me the winter seas ride bleak and far
Nor may I turn again to summer's prime.
I lean across the wall, aware of you.
In sleep I wander in your world awhile,
And I remember well the hours we knew,
Brief flowers blowing bby a pasture stile.
They are no more. They cannot scent the air
For you, for me, nor will they bloom again.
If I could pass the barrier and be there
We should be meeting without love or pain.
Now, locked in time and weary to the bone
I hold the shadow, with the substance flown.

Reply:The author sounds like they have given up but not forgotten. The voice sounds saddened and a little lost and alone. They may be too stubborn to realize that they don't have to suffer and only will continue to suffer unless they do something and fight for what they want to be happy.
Reply:idk i need the 2 points
Reply:This is the first poem I have ever read on Y Answers that made me cry. The commentary below speaks somewhat to her poetic style and you'll find X (on the website I've listed as my source) as one of several examples used.
From the website:
Mary belonged to the NH Poetry Society, and, as I recall, was once or maybe twice voted by its members as their Poet of The Year. This distinction was accorded not on the basis of her humorous work, which to my knowledge she had shared with virtually no one besides me, but in acknowledgment of the high quality of her lyric poetry and of her sonnets, most of which are recorded in the only book she published, in 1990, A Shifting of The Light.
Mary’s serious poetry is noteworthy for its naturalness of style, as well as for a distinctly wistful quality about it. She was not much impressed with current poetry trends, and indeed probably felt somewhat disinherited, as is natural enough for any poet with a genuinely lyric bent today. She died in the 1990s, and I am glad to be able to assist in making her voice heard once again. It was a lovely one.
Reply:Sounds depressed to me. The poet is saying that she is old and wishes she wasn't. She can't turn back the hands of time, but she can remember a time when she was young and the person she is referring to was alive. Now she can only dream about it. She is telling somebody who died young that she remembers them.

Sould I stay in the relationship and stick out not getting attention or should I leave, Girls please help me?
We r married 11 years %26amp; we have 3 great kids. 2 31/2 yr olds r 6 year old girl has problems (with depression %26amp; we were both at each others throats %26amp; then she got pregnant with twins. Had sex 3 times that year %26amp; we were cut off in the middle of the last time we had sex. She gt pregnant %26amp; I made the mistake of saying r you sure it was mine because I have been cheated on in other relationships. I changed my attitude but she put up a wall toward me %26amp; ever since, has told me that she cannot trust me. That was 4 years ago , I have never cheated %26amp; I love her %26amp; my twin boys so much. She refuses theropy. She doen't give me any attention I feel unwanted. She says she wouldn't blame me if I'v cheated on her? We hve sex but she never starts it.I buy her flowers,etc
She says shes not sure if things will ever change. Should I stick it out or find another relationship. What should I do. She heped me raise my 16 year old daughter from 1st mariage also %26amp; she says she feels guilty when I do nice thin
Sould I stay in the relationship and stick out not getting attention or should I leave, Girls please help me?
This reminds me of my last relationship. I'm a female so I know how she feels. So here it goes. That wall of hatred that she built for you is not going to go down. Everytime she sees you she will remember what you said and therefore feel disgusted (not sexually but emotionally) and will not want to be near you. For some strange reason however she doesn't want to leave you, yet. If someone else crosses her path she might go for him not necessarily for sex but more like a real close friend (like how i'm sure you were when you first met) and then decide to break up with you when she is reminded that there are guys out there who will find her intriguing. Now its not that she doesn't care because strangely enough she does (which is why she sticks around). I know (and she knows) that you didn't mean what you said but what is said is done. That "Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones but Words Will Never Hurt Me"--that's bs! They hurt more than actions sometimes. She won't start sex because she will feels as if she doesn't know where you have been in order for you to change your feelings towards her. She's confused and please try not to bring it up all of a sudden as it will start affecting her more (i started becoming really sick). Buying her flowers, taking her out those things will help her relieve her pain a little but it will eventually come up again and hurt her. So they are basically useless.
What do I wish my husband would've tried to do? I was married for 6 yrs. My husband did a similliar thing like that after only 2 yrs. We have 3 children ages 5, 3, and 1. He loves our children. He says he never cheated %26amp; i believe him but it is as if something just doesn't let me comprehend. I never wanted therapy because- why should i go to therapy i didn't do ****. Maybe if he would've started therapy i might of decided to join him for a couple of sessions. I've thought about this question over and over- what would have saved our relationship? I really don't think there is anything he could've done because so much time had passed. Maybe if he would've realized it early on we'd still be together.
Sorry for my answer I hope your relationship is stronger than mine was but if you decide that she isn't going to change seperate as it will start affecting her tremendously. It probably already is.
Reply:Sorry but I'm afraid it's time to move on. For one reason or another she has cut off her feelings for you. It hasn't improved in 4 years so don't think that it ever will. Move on to someone new. Good Luck!!
Reply:Shes giving you the green light to get some on the side, so find a mistress and your home life will be a lot happier.
Reply:She needs some help. And I dont mean that sarcastically. She needs a break. 11 years - 4 children. You MAY not be getting attention. She definitely is not getting any either.......FOR herself.
When is HER time..........For a professional massage, hairstyle, facial, manicure, pedicure. Do ya think she'd be interested?
If so, give her a breather to do something for herself.....to enable her to feel like a WOMAN/person again...
Which she was, BEFORE she became a wife and mother.
Reply:Think forward 10 yrs from now.......will you regret staying?
Reply:I think she is giving you the OK to walk out.. She must be suffering from some sort of depression herself.
And I am uncertain of what you should do... Leaving is a difficult thing to do but if she is refusing any help that does not leave very much other alternatives.
You need to do a lot of soul searching and remember that while you and her are battling this the children have to suffer from it...
If I understand correctly the 6 year old is depressed, get help for your self if she is un willing. These kids need this from you.
The 6 year old is what is my concern... Are your problems with your wife at the center of this child's problems? PLEASE seek professional help to resolve this even if it means separation of you and your wife. ~ Best wishes ~
Reply:the foundation to every good relationship is trust and communication.
if you dont have those, then you dont have a relationship.
talk things over with your wife and see where you stand after a long heart to heart.

Other than that, I really like it, Good job, you have quite a talent! Keep it up!

I wrote a story, and I wanna know what you think? It's somewhat long tho. but it's great?
Fallen Angel. Chapter one. In search of Identity.
--------------------------------------...
"My eyes opened and I realized I was resting on a soft bed. I was covered with a soft baby blue blanket. The birds chirpedrhythmically, and the sunlight reflectedfrom the window adjacent from the bed was hurting my eyes. I squinted as I looked upon it, but it really didn't helprelieve the pain at all. The pain felt as if I was looking directly at a flashlight. I could easily tell the time of day was morning. I sat up on the bed and looked around the bedroom, the walls were painted pink, the drawers and bookshelves standing opposite of the window were just as blue as the blanket that I hadjust pulled off. The room was unfamiliar to me. I wondered how I got here, but I could not recall anything that occurred before this present point, nothing at all.
I got out of bed and there was a somewhat loud clanking sound coming from the polished wooden floor. I looked down and saw a silver heart shaped pendant bonded with small silver chains. I bent over and picked up the locket. It was two and a half inches long, and it gleamed and shimmered like precious diamonds in the sunlight behind me. I turned the heart shaped locket and saw a small clasp. I opened the locket and saw a photo of a young woman on the left who seemed to be wearing a purple dress robe. Next to her on the right was a little girl, wearing similar clothing except she wore pink instead of purple. Both of them had long black hair and they were smiling at each other. I glanced at the little girl again, and although the child seemed so cute, she also seemed very familiar. There was a mirror adjacent to the door in front of me. I saw my own reflection in the mirror. I realized that I had black hair just like the two people in the photo, wearing a white T-Shirt and white shorts, I also saw in the mirror that I had no shoes on. Then I looked at the little girl in the picture again. That little girl’s face and hair are somewhat similar to mine. On the left side of the locket I saw a something printed on the silver metal. The upper left corner of the heart locket was a name that was printed “Fallen angel” and in the middle there was date carved into the locket saying
20 December 1995
The date on the locket caught my attention. I wondered why the date was even printed there. What happened on that day? Why is it so significant? I also wondered who the young woman is in the photo, and if the little girl next to her is really me. The door in front of me knocked unexpectedly. I just watched and glared at it, then seconds later the door opened. The one who knocked on the door was a young woman, wearing a white dress and I also noticed a white apron she was wearing that seemed to blend in. Her rectanglular glasses were completely crooked, it looks as if it was about to fall off her face. Her face was completely dirty, and her crimson hair looked as if it were never brushed for weeks perhaps months. Her emerald eyes came into contact with mine, and said to me in a somewhat squeaky voice.
“Hello, you’re awake”
I continued to glare at her, and remind silent.
“What’s your name?” said the woman, smiling lightly “My name is Solana Frostly.”
Unfortunately I didn’t have an answer to that question. I felt pretty stupid not knowing my own name, so I remained silent and continued to stare at her.
“Um, you don’t talk much do you?” said Solana, timidly. “My daughter Aiyana found you in the forest out cold so we took you in our home and we kept you warm and placed you in her room. Um….. Are you feeling okay?”
I nodded lightly, and whispered.
“Yes”
“I’m glad to hear it!” said Solana, smiling brightly. “Come downstairs, I made some breakfast. When you finished eating we can call your parents. How old are you by the way”
“T-Tw-Twelve” I answered a little unsure of myself.
“Oh that’s great!” Said Solana, “Aiyana is just about you age- Well, perhaps. She’ll be turning twelve in a few days, so I’m sure you two would get along just fine. Now please come downstairs for some breakfast. I’m not sure if there is any breakfast left, I didn’t expect you to be awake at this time. After breakfast we’ll call your parents, they must be worried sick about you. So we’ll just let them know that you’re okay”
Solana turned around and left. Seconds later, I got up off the floor, where I was sitting, left the room and went down the stairs. After I reached the first floor, I heard a voice calling to me.
“Hey, over here! We saved you some breakfast”
I turned to where the voice is coming from. It was Solana and another girl who had long scarlet hair just like Solana’s in a kitchen. I walked inside the kitchen where the girl sat at a circular wooden table that was near a corner of the kitchen. The table had a large plate with a layer of pancakes on a white ceramic plate and a bottle of maple syrup sitting there. I gagged at the odor of burnt food. The sink next to me were piled with dirty dishes. There were shards of broken glass on the white tile floors. I almost stepped on them, while I was still barefoot. Solana was near an oven holding a silver metal spatula, jumping and shrieking hysterically trying to put out the flames that bloomed from the stove just a second ago. I sat at the table where the girl sat. I glared at her for a moment. The girl looked back at me and smiled.
“Oh hello,” She said quickly, “Don’t mind my Mom, she’s very clumsy when it comes to housekeeping. As you can see, she’s not always the best cook. Although she’s very clumsy and careless, she has her moments. She’s only like this when she’s stressed out. It’s very typical for adults.Other than that she’s a great cook. Oh, I’m so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Aiyana.”
Aiyana reached out her right hand towards me.
I looked at her hand. I wondered what she made that gesture for. I continued to stare at it.
“What’s your name” She asked.
My eyes were drawn from her hand to her face. It’s that question again. I was gnawing my bottom lip, trying hard to remember, but it was impossible. All I could do now is give Aiyana a light shrug. Aiyana frowned.
“I tried asking her the same thing,” said Solana finally finished extinguishing the flames on the stove, “but she wouldn’t tell me. She must be shy, let’s give her some time to relax a bit. Aiyana pumpkin, go to the living room and find the phone. I think it’s time we call her parents. And turn on the computer on your way back here, and look up something on missing children”
Aiyana looked at her mother and nodded. She got up off her chair and left the kitchen. Now my attention is drawn to Solana, who smiled at me, placed some pancakes on the plate in front of me and said,
“Please eat some pancakes, they’re really tasty. I don’t want you to go hungry. I’ll give you a fork and a glass of orange juice.”
Solana handed me a silver metal fork, with four prongs and the flower design carved on the brown wooden handle. She also grasped the bottle of maple syrup and poured its sticky brown contents on the plate of pancakes. I looked down and stared at it.
“Hmm,” said Solana. “It seems that you have never tasted pancakes before. Just cut a piece off and eat it.
I looked up at Solana once more, remembering what Aiyana told me earlier, that she isn’t always the best cook. I assumed that these pancakes of hers would not taste very pleasant. I found Solana as a very kind person and the last thing I want to do is offend her. With my assumption set aside, I grabbed the fork that was previously placed on the table, Cut off a piece of the pancake and placed it into my open mouth. My bottom jaw made contact with my upper one, while moving in a clockwise position. The food was soft and tasted sugary. While eating it I had this pleasant feeling, I assumed that the pancakes would taste horrible, but it was the opposite. I looked up at Solana again and smiled. Solana smiled back at me.
In each chapter there will be a new reply. So i need your opinion on this story.
I wrote a story, and I wanna know what you think? It's somewhat long tho. but it's great?
You're right; it is great! :) I want to read more.
You have a lot of potential:) I love how you described everything in such detail, especially the phrase about "the flames that bloomed from the stove." Very creative and vivid use of imagery. I also like how you described the protagonist eating pancakes for the first time. You describe everything to every sense, which draws the reader into the story even more.
Reply:Make sure you post the other chapters, i think it is a lovely tale up to now..........has good potential. :-)

"My eyes opened and I realized I was resting on a soft bed. I was covered with a soft baby blue blanket. The birds chirpedrhythmically, and the sunlight reflectedfrom the window adjacent from the bed was hurting my eyes. I squinted as I looked upon it, but it really didn't helprelieve the pain at all.

Can I apply floor laminate to my walls? Any other stick on applications over wallpaper?
I have a modern/contemporary taste. The wallpaper in my new homes guest 1/2 bathroom looks like Easter and the dining room wallpaper is flowers...not my style. I hear that wallpaper removal is one heck of a chore and can be tedious so I'm scared to venture in that direction. I don't want to paint over it. So I didn't know if it's possible to apply floor laminate to walls? Any other suggestions? Thanks~!
Can I apply floor laminate to my walls? Any other stick on applications over wallpaper?
It is easy to remove wallpaper. If the paper has been placed within the past 5 years, it can probably peel off easily. Try peeling some. (People are supposed to put SIZER under the paper so it will stick up well and come off easily). If it doesn't peel off easily, get some TSP, gloves, and sponges, soak and scrape it off. Messy, but doable. Actually the peeling is kind of addictive ;) Get a wallpaper scoring tool, score the paper (make little scratches) let the paper remover soak in, and peel it off. Get a thin blade scraping tool for the stubborn stuff, and a stick of spackle to patch up any accidental nicks in the drywall.
You absolutely CAN NOT put laminate on the walls! It would buckle and fall off, besides it would look terrible.
Realistically, there isn't any alternative to wallpaper removal. The only other choice is....eewww....panelling. Remember the 1970s? Well, panelling can look nice, it is super easy to install, so okay, it is worth looking if you really, really don't want to scrape the paper.
Reply:I don't think floor laminate would be appropriate - it's awefully heavy.
Why not try to remove the wallpaper in the bathroom 1st. If it's the kind that just needs to be wet and peeled off, it'll come off really easy. use a spray on mixture of water and dishsoap and keep it wet... sponge it on if need be, but keep it wet at all times. Grab a corner and peel it off.
If it doesnt' come off easily, then start to think of alternatives. You can use peel and stick tiles in the bathroom, or get a professional to lay tiles... or you can use panelling or drywall. Anything you add to your walls, however, means you have to re set your outlets and light switches.
addition:
you have to soak the wallpaper before you peel ... let the water you spray on soak in, and keep spraying - that's the trick to removing it. water makes the pape lift, the soap helps the water to stick to the pape longer.
Reply:Yeppers.
Reply:It's not a good idea to install floor laminate on your walls since it just locks together and sooner or later, it'll start to pull away from the wall.
Removing wallpaper is easier than you think if you do it correctly. Get yourself a small tool that is really inexpensive. It looks like a pizza cutter but with teeth. Run this all around the wallpaper so as to make little holes in the paper. Then, take ordinary car windshield washing fluid (the blue stuff) and put it in a spary bottle. Spray this all over the wall. You can do it a second time. Once that's done, easily scrape away the paper. It's a cinch.
Painting over wallpaper can also be fantastic if you do it properly. You can texture the paper, either visually with paint effects or actually texture it. You could also just paper over the paper with another paper you like. Keep in mind tho that this can be costly, as paper is now really in and it's expensive. Plus you may want to have a pro install it.
Have you thought about putting wainscotting on half the wall, putting a chair rail at the top and then painting just the top part?

paint comes in thousandfs of colors and tints. suggestion, use semi-gloss paint, as it's durable, easy to clean, reflect light but also hides construction defects somewhat.
for application- us a a wieney roller (whizz roller). for variety in design, use a stencil roller, you get the effect of wallpaper designs, but no glue or nothing if you want to change things around in a month or year

YOU CAN EMAIL ME YOUR ORDER IF YA WANT I WILL SEND TO YOU. GOOD LUCK
Reply:Okay...With a very small room, you don't want it to get too busy. Keep the design/colors simple and minimal.
Pick one intense color that is the favorite Cobalt Blue is intense as well as easy to live with. Hot Pink is very high energy, but might get tiring after awhile. Ocean Blue is intense, but not as dramatic as either Cobalt Blue or Hot Pink.
Paint only one wall this intense color you choose. Paint the other three walls and the ceiling either white or an off-white like antique white or apache white. This gives your eyes somewhere to go when they need a rest.
For an added dramatic twist, paint the wall and a one or two foot wide stirp along the ceiling above the painted wall - like its wrapping up into the ceiling.
Another trick, if you want a couple of those colors: Do the Cobalt wall or the Ocean wall. Then, on an adjacent wall, paint an approximate one-foot wide band of the hot pink that starts about 2/3 of the way from the right side of a plain white wall, and wraps into the darker wall about 1/3 of the way.

I need help on my opening chapter for my horror story, it must me at least 3 a4 sides with size 12 font HELP!?
My last paragraph is-
Soon we didn’t bother, I hadn’t seen him for 7 years before that day. The open coffin, my grandpa laying silently. I remember the air of death around him when he was alive, the way flowers turned their heads in fear to him, the way a fire could feel like a blizzard if he was nearby. Happiness draining from each corner of the room he stood in. The way he insisted that the lights were left off. But now, strangely, he felt almost alive. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt more connected to him, as if a cold wall of ice separating us had finally melted.
i need help on finding a way to write about them moving in to his house. i have writers block!! thnx XxX

~~It seems the invisible, ghost-like, presence, of "grandpa" is still very much present, when they move in.
Considering your use of "fire" (great switch, btw), which "could feel like a blizzard if he was [were?] nearby; and, the "cold wall of ice separating us had finally melted" :
Two things come to mind: Your choice, as it whether you use them. If you study the History of Irish Wakes (funerals), you'll find that the coffin of the dead, were placed on Ice...(this was a "viewing"..preserving the body, for viewing. The ice, of course, would melt.
(When they move into the house, the kitchen is bare, except for an old Refrigerator. Inside, is a box. Instead of removing the box, they keep it where it is; in the freezer. The box, contains, Grandpa's ashes, and it was his "wish" to be cremated, and stored in the fridge....
...What is evident, in this "last paragraph," is how the Grandchildren, feared "grandpa"...they had reason to.
Even without the "Irish Wake"..the metaphors you use, are "key" to the presence, horror, and memory, of the "invisible" character.
The memories of the Grandchildren are all the reader has to go on.
Their perception, and the way they "view" him...
Is where you should continue.
~~[note: additional advice. Make your "first sentence, of the first paragraph, (opening the story), something which will reflect the "conclusion" the reader does not see coming.)
Whether it is a Short story, or a Novel, the first sentence is "key"..or, a key:
Example: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.." ...etc..etc..(This is one of the most famous opening paragraphs in literature.)
Charlies Dickens. It encompasses, the movement of the entire Novel, bringing the reader directly to that certain "time" and "place"
**
If you use the"Irish Wake" keep this in mind:..
grandpa was "unkillable.."...he was; although, melted..very much "alive" [you can use that as a first sentence/first paragraph]; then, when the Grandfather final "wish" is discovered...it all falls into place. ie: The horror of an Evil man...never gone..always present; even in death.
Good Luck..I'd love to hear, how this turns out.

(When they move into the house, the kitchen is bare, except for an old Refrigerator. Inside, is a box. Instead of removing the box, they keep it where it is; in the freezer. The box, contains, Grandpa's ashes, and it was his "wish" to be cremated, and stored in the fridge....
...What is evident, in this "last paragraph," is how the Grandchildren, feared "grandpa"...they had reason to.
Even without the "Irish Wake"..the metaphors you use, are "key" to the presence, horror, and memory, of the "invisible" character.
The memories of the Grandchildren are all the reader has to go on.
Their perception, and the way they "view" him...
Is where you should continue.
~~[note: additional advice. Make your "first sentence, of the first paragraph, (opening the story), something which will reflect the "conclusion" the reader does not see coming.)
Whether it is a Short story, or a Novel, the first sentence is "key"..or, a key:
Example: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.." ...etc..etc..(This is one of the most famous opening paragraphs in literature.)
Charlies Dickens. It encompasses, the movement of the entire Novel, bringing the reader directly to that certain "time" and "place"
**
If you use the"Irish Wake" keep this in mind:..
grandpa was "unkillable.."...he was; although, melted..very much "alive" [you can use that as a first sentence/first paragraph]; then, when the Grandfather final "wish" is discovered...it all falls into place. ie: The horror of an Evil man...never gone..always present; even in death.
Good Luck..I'd love to hear, how this turns out.

Which movie is this?!?
hidden kids room behind wallpaper: the parents either wanted to forget the child or they killed the child and tried to cover it up. i think it was a boy about 8 years old. so they put up a wall to hide the child's room, and when these people tore down the wallpaper they found the room, and there were dusty toys lying around. i believe the ones who found it were a man and a woman.
it's not:
the ring
the forgotten
flowers in the attic
the changeling
bad ronald
deep red
people under the stairs
silent scream
in dreams
psycho
mid to late 90's most likely.. that is the only thing i can remember.
this question was asked on imdb and I was just curious about the answer

I'm not sure what the movie is called, but it sounds really familiar. Now it's going to drive me nuts until I can figure it out. I'll keep thinking.

The beer scooter!!?

Haha this made me laff today i was chatting to a mate about my plans for fri being my birthday.. and i was like "how the hell we going get home from the club" and he sent me this lol
probably on a beer scooter
How many times have you woken up in the morning after a hard night of drinking and thought 'How did I get home?' As hard as you try, you cannot piece together your return journey from the bar to your home.
The answer to this puzzle is that you used a beer scooter. The beer scooter is a mythical form of transport, owned and leased out to drunks (without their knowledge) by Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. Bacchus has branched out since the decrease in the worship of the Roman pantheon and bought a large batch of these magical devices.
The beer scooter works in the following fashion:
The passenger reaches a certain level of drunkenness and the 'slurring gland' begins to give off a pheromone. Bacchus or one of his many sub-contractors detects the pheromone and sends down a winged beer scooter.
The scooter scoops up the passenger and deposits them in their bedroom via a trans-dimensional portal. It is not cheap to run a beer scooter franchise, so a large portion of the passenger's in-pocket cash is taken as payment. This generates the second question after a night out 'How did I spend so much money?'
Beer scooters have a poor safety record and are thought to be responsible for 90% of all UDI (Unidentified Drinking Injuries). An undocumented feature of the beer scooter is the destruction of time segments during the trip. The nature of trans-dimensional portals dictates that time will be lost, seemingly unaccounted for. This generates the third question after a night out 'What happened?'
With good intentions, Bacchus opted for the EMIT (Embarrassing Moments In Time) add on, that automatically removes in descending order, those parts in time regretted most. Unfortunately one person's EMIT is not necessarily the EMIT of another and quite often lost time is regained over a suitable period.
Independent studies have also shown that beer goggles cause the scooter's navigation system to malfunction thus sending the passenger to the wrong bedroom often with horrific consequences. With recent models including a GPS, Bacchus made an investment in a scooter drive-thru chain specialising in half eaten kebabs and pizza crusts. Another question answered!
For the family man, beer scooters come equipped with flowers picked from other people's garden and Thump-A-Lot Boots. These boots are designed in such a way that no matter how quietly you tip-toe, you are sure to wake up your other half. Special anti-gravity springs ensure that you bump into every wall and the CTSGS (Coffee Table Seeking Guidance System) explains the ring marked shins.
Most useful of all is the on-board heater which allows you to get home from the bar in sub-zero temperatures wearing just a T-shirt. The final add-on Bacchus saw fit to invest in for some scooters is TAS (Tobacco Absorption System). This explains how one person can apparently get through 60 Marlboro Lights in a single night.

Any good birthday gift ideas?
I'm working abroad and I would like to send my girlfriend something special for her birthday. I've sent flowers to her office before and I would like to send something different. I was thinking about a singing telegram or something totally off the wall like that. Ladies please help if you can.

Unique art gift is the best present
I recommend photoartomation.com ( http://www.photoartomation.com/ArtWork.h... ).
These guys convert individual photo to Art. After you send them your photo they create a preview sample of your photo. It’s free. You can buy it if you like it.
I sent a digital photo of my wife (I wanted to give her a special present for Valentines Day) to photoartomation and they turned it into three gorgeous art samples that I could preview online. I had a hard time picking one because all three were really beautiful. Although their prices pretty high I was not disappointed because when I received my order the prepared artwork was much more impressive then online samples. And my wife was just speechless…
Reply:I recommend photoartomation. I used this company and was enjoyed the quality and exquisite masterpiece of artwork from them Report It

Reply:ok to the singing thing...does she live in the usa? do you have friends near her? do you have her friends numbers? get them all to her place to sing to her...plus, it's free, lol...sure, you could send a telegram and pay someone...but, I think it will be better from people she knows, or family! =). Heck, even if it's the police department...hehe =). just an idea...

Who had a wedding day disaster?
Our wedding car let us down so we used my father in laws car, my brother in law drove us, the flowers were wrong...but hey minor thing...the caterer's didn't lay on enough food even though we told them to overdo it, the photographer took awful photos, made us stand against a broken up wall, then when the photos were delivered they wwere really crap all yellow, unbelieveably, he died! So couldn't complain as he worked for himself! But none of that really matters 'cos we did get married and that was the most important thing.
What's your disaster?

Didn't have a dressed on the day of the graduation because I didn't have enough money, ran to my boyfriend (now ex) and went to the mall the very moment to look for a dress. Dad's car let us down too in the middle of the highway so we were forced to take a cab. At the graduation march, I didn't know that I need either my mom or dad to march with me until I get to my seat. At the end of the ceremony, I couldn't find my mom to take me pictures with because she had the camera. I only got a single picture after the ceremony. She was in the women's room taking a piss.

Reply:Not so much the day itself no, but the Monday before I was due to get married I hurt my back very badly. I spent the week leading up to my wedding having treatments every day to try and make it better, which was lucky because my disc was so compressed that if I had not had those treatments I would have been going up the aisle in a wheel chair. I had to walk bare foot as I could not wear any shoes, I could not dance and I had to be carried around for the later part of the evening.

Which of these are the best? puns intended, and are g rated?
1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, 'I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.'
2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says 'Dam!'
3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my Electron.' The other says 'Are you sure?' The first replies, 'Yes, I'm positive.'
5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. 'But why?', they asked, as they moved off. 'Because,' he said,' I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer.'
7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to Spain , they name him 'Juan'; the other went to a family in Egypt and is named 'Ahmal.' Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, 'They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal.'
8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to 'persuade' them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.
Which of these are the best? puns intended, and are g rated?
Very good.

What do you think of My Poem?
Seriously, let me know. I don't do it as often as I used to but I was really proud of it.
It's just like the weather
So unpredicable
And though you project what you may
You can never truly say
Nor can you remain
As you are today
As thoughts slip in and out
Sometimes you laugh
Sometimes you shout
And tomorrow you'll wake up
In a totally different room
With different colored walls
And different smelling perfume
With different faces all around
Even your old self cannot resound
In this unfamiliar place
And that unfamiliar face
That you see staring back at you
It, you thought you knew
But alas, tis' an untruth
And it exists so little
As the light from a firefly
But do not cry no longer
Just keep blossiming little flower
And one day you'll reach the air
One day the sun will care
And someone will come along and sniff you
And breathe you in completely
But till then, keep living
If at a minimum.
What do you think of My Poem?
Not my favorite poem, but you should be proud of your writing. Your poem has meaning as well as style. Not many people can write poems as fluent as this and rhyme (even though everybody tries to) and even if there were no rhyming it would sound like a poem.

Ladies bathroom buttons?
A gentleman had a serious problem. He made several attempts to enter the men's washrooom, but found it to be occupied. A lady noticed that he was walking strangely, taking small steps, and with a look of pain and anxiety on his face.
"Sir," she said, "the ladies room is unoccupied. You may use it only if you promise not to touch the buttons on the wall."
He was about to explode, and would have promised anything, so he agreed to her terms. The relief was pure joy, and as he sat there, savouring the feeling, he noticed the buttons he had promised not to touch. Three white buttons were identified with the letters: WW, WA and PP, and there was one red button labeled ATR.
Who would really know if he touched them? He could not just sit there and resist a challenge like this, so he pushed thw WW button. Warm Water was sprayed gently on his bottom. Such a nice feeling came over him, the men's washroom didn't have nice things like this. Anticipating even greater pleasure, he pressed the WA button.
Warm Air replaced the warm water, wafted and swirled about, gently drying his underside.He knew what he was going to do when the warm air stopped, and without hesitation, he pressed the PP button. A large Powder Puff caressed his bottom, adding a fragrant smell of spring flowers to his unbelievable pleasure.
The ladies room was far more than a restroom, it was a place of tender loving pleasure! He could hardly wait for the powder puff to quit. When it did he pressed what he knew was going to be the ultimate joy!
He knew he was in the hospital room as soon as he opened his eyes. A nurse was staring down at him with a smirk on her face. "What happened? How did I get here? The last thing I remember, I was in the ladies restroom!"
"You pushed too many buttons," replied the nurse, as her smirk expanded to a grin. "That last button marked ATR is an Automatic Tampon Remover.
