It was just a branch like they had thought, so they got back into the car and went to her house where her mother gave them steaming mugs of hot chocolate with a dollop of whipped cream on top and some carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Everyone was happy and laughing. Even her dad sat down with them and shared some of his best Halloween jokes and stories. The End.

    Is this about Jack and Jill when they got a little bit older? :confused: ;)

    Libraries have books and poetry about Halloween. Last night we had a special Halloween program in which (witch?) families got to decorate and take home their own pumpkin and one of the librarians dressed up like a witch and did a little thing with a bubbling cauldron --

    Happy Halloween!

    The story that tells about the Summit Bridge I wrote about is called "Cry Baby Bridge". Look under Schulter-Cry Baby Bridge! You know, if you enjoy that sort of thing!! LOL

    There is another reference to this at Alderson but I have sufficiently spooked myself out remembering my experience at the bridge so will say goodnight and I think I will stick with reading the funny jokes like the circumference of a pumpkin!! Have a good night and if anything goes bump in the night, it is probably just the arm!! :)

    Well Wondergirl! Weird thing happened. After I posted my poem, my computer went out! Not kidding! Of course, I just shut it all down, let it set for a bit and here I am. Just coincidence! LOL I read about "Resurrection Mary". Thanks for sending the link! Have you had any experience with her??

    Yes, of course that was a coincidence. Yes. Definitely it was.

    I've had no encounters with RM. I used to do home visits for counseling along one side of the cemetery, but it was during the day, so no Mary. Hmmmm. One of my clients in that area was named Mary. Hmmmm.

    Another librarian and I went to a haunted bar-restaurant one Friday the 13th, but nothing happened while we were there. We drank Black Russians and ate cheeseburgers. The evening wore on. We switched to gin and tonics and then tried the beer on tap. I don't remember anything happening. I don't remember the name of the other librarian either.

    (Just kidding, folks! )

    Here's the bar and its story --

    Definitely!! Yes, definitely a coincidence! Yes. Now if my computer quits again tonight I am hanging up my spurs and heading for the high country! Ha. Mary, was it?? On one side of the cemetery was it?? Interesting... very interesting! LOL Interesting reading!

    When I looked up the Cry Baby Bridge History, I was surprised to see how many homes are said to be haunted in my town!! I always wondered why I felt so unsettled here, now I know! :)

    I suspect it's all that black gold under Oklahoma that's causing all the paranormal activity like with your computer. And the wind. That has to be causing weird things to happen. And all the buried bones of Indians and pioneers. There are all sorts of psychic influences under and in and on and probably over Oklahoma.

    A true story

    Sometimes when I am playing the piano at my home, there is the very strong scent of a woman's perfume. It's not my mother's. She passed away a long time ago. Plus, she never lived in my home.

    I do know that the elderly woman who lived in my home before I did, loved the sound of the piano. She passed away about eighteen years ago. Rather violently two, since she had fallen down the back porch steps.

    Also sometimes when I am playing the piano, there might be a strong, cold breeze that happens momentarily. This has happened when all of the windows and doors to the outside were shut. One time, when I had invited a friend over and he hadn't arrived yet, I was playing the piano. I thought for sure that he had come in, because there was this cold draft of air around me. I looked at the door through which he would have entered. It had not been opened.

    Anybody want to come over and listen to me play the piano late at night? :eek:

    I used to visit clients homes for counseling. One older woman was happy to meet me and welcomed me joyfully, fed me tea and fruitcake, but warned me about sitting in an old rocker. It had been her dear departed mother's favorite chair. Whoever sat there was always cold. The cold spot followed the chair, no matter where they put it in the living room.

    I sat on the couch.

    Yes, there will be drinks and snacks. You can play "Fur Elise"? Sure, you can play the piano! I have two grands in my living room. We can play duets! I can show you how to improvise on something that someone else is playing at the same time! Please remember that I told you that I could make you an instant blues player!

    Requests and dedications? What do you want to do, Christen me while you ship me away? Heck of a way to waste a good bottle of Champagne!

    "Fur Elise" was during Year Three of my eight years of piano lessons. Sheesh. Of course, I can play "Fur Elise".

    I want to play the piano like Nina Simone.

    Guys... I feel like crying... I was supposed to have a Horror Movie night with my friends tomorrow (saturday)... but I got a call from a friend of mine that they needed help in this haunted house that is going on. I was looking so forward to being in it but my two friends took out a lot of time to do this movie night this weekend so it's not like we can make it up. They don't want to do it so I have to go and confront my friend and the director of the haunted house to say I can't come in and neither can they. I feel bad cause I'm letting them down and I want to cry cause I've always wanted to be in a haunted house and now I might not be able to unless I can get Monday off and be in it then... I seriously want to bawl right now...

    P.S. great poem jan

    I really want to do it! There are two shifts tomorrow. One from 11 in the morning to 4 and the other is 5 to 12. My friends are asleep now but I'm going to call them in the morning to see if it's okay that I go to the morning one. I was going to pick up one at 2 and the other gets off work at 2, I'm going to see if my mom can pick up the one at work then to the haunted house to get my car and get my other friend and they can mess around till 4...

    Maybe I could even get Monday off too! I've just always wanted to be in a haunted house! I really want to go! I just don't want to be an inconvenience to anyone T.T *cries ar craige's shoulder out of pure frustration*

    It sounds like you have a plan then, and that you do have some options as far as times to do these things! I would recommend getting enough sleep so that you can think clearly with everything that's going on!

    Omg guys it was so much fun! I was a zombie! At one point I was walking around outside before the haunted house opened (it's indoors), and I scared the out of these three girls just following them!! Then I actually came up behind them and me and the guys playing Jason and Freddy ganged up on them it was great! Being in the actual haunted house though was so much fun! I scared so many people (cause right before my room they get the crap scared out of them from being attacked by a giant inflatable spider then I walked out right in front of them and go "Why so jumpy?" as soon as they are in the cemetery part). Anyway!! Check out my make up! I had to leave the costume there but it was a screaded up wedding dress with fake blood all over it (clotted and dripped). I got to say though, standing still like a statue long enough for them to think that's all I was was so hard!! Man little kids are fun to scare too!!

    Ha... I have a 4 year old nephew and a 24 year old brother who is still living at home.. My nephew is my sisters kid and yesterday my nephew stayed the night and it was so funny how it was almost 3 am and he was still awake and me and my brother kept telling him to go to sleep and he wouldn't do it. Then my brother went in his room and I turned off all the lights and went in my room and left him out their in the dark and he kept screaming and my brother went out there and told him that if he didn't get to bed the boogie man wad going to get him and then he just started crying and my brother kept scaring him... it was so funny.

    Last halloween though, was the best. It was probably the only year I ever did anything for it... I went with my boyfriend to his aunts house for a halloween party. It was probably one of the top 20 best days of my life... maybe even in the top 5... I don't know. I might try to think of that. I don't know what made that day so fun but it just was. I think I want to make almost like music videos to my favorite memories of my life only maybe not the music... just act it out so I always have the memories to watch.

    Oh, I'm so glad that you came over to this thread and posted, Michelle! It's good to see you branching out! There are so many things in life that need to be explored. It's so easy to get stuck in a rut and just continue to dwell on certain things.

    Why haven't you done anything on other years for Halloween? Just curious.
  • Oct 28, 2007, 02:12 AM

    I can tell you every little thing I did last halloween and the day before it.. Not that you would really care. I'm just so proud I can remember something from a year ago so well...
    If you care to know here it is:
    I went over to my bf's and I had no idea we were even going to his aunts. Until later and I had to call my mom to let her know I would be home later. I called on my cell phone. We went to his aunts and their was a lot of people their. It was probably like 7 or 8 pm when we got their. Then we went in the house and he started playing with the dog. We all went in the basement... mostly their was a lot of little kids (all his cusins) and we chased each other around and I don't know just a bunch of stupid stuff... then we ran up stairs and his little cousin with autusim stayed down stairs but all the other kids came up stairs too. Then we ate that itillian beef w/e stuff and we were in the basement when we ate and I had my coat next to me and I was sitting by him and he took my cell phone and typed something on it to me so no one could hear what he was trying to say but I don't remember what it said. Then his mom came downstairs and a little later they started all the games and stuff and everyone was down there. Then some of the little kids watched some goosebumps movies and his uncle said something about the movie "dawn of the dead" and my boyfriend said he never saw the movie but he didn't want me watching it but I've already seen it a few times before that. Then I remember how that day he kept saying how much he loves me and stuff (something like that happened). When they were playing those little game things, I didn't participate. Then later we went outside and me, him, and some of the kids jumped on the trampoline and I didn't really want to but he was like "come on just for a minute'' then me, him and the kids walked back through the woods to scare them and his uncles jumped out at them... theirs more but i dont feel like typing the whole thing... then they had a little camp fire thing in their back yard (the woods are further back in their back yard) and they gave us candy and roasted marshmellows. And they had about 10 chairs around it and i sat facing, well the best way i can describe it was South west then we went back in the house and came back out and i when we came back i had to sit facing, north east... then we all went back in the basement and then in the living room and his little like 5 year old cusin kept telling everyone they were a crack head. lol. Then we went in the garage (me, him, his mom, aunt, and uncle) and they all talked. After a while me and him went back in the house..... theirs alot more but who cares?/?
    his mom dropped me off and said "call us tomorrow and let us know if you can go trick or treating with us"
    The next day I went with them and I remember that day just as well but its too much to type. Lol.

    I never really like halloween much. Last year was fun but my family never really does anything for it other than my mom buys a ton of candy when its on sale. And not for trick-or-treaters but for us. Lol.
