7. Our next door neighbours knocked on the door & requested to my dad to "stop your son from throwing 'doggy doo doos' over the fence at his kids". Dad didn't believe such a story until curiosity got the better of him and off he went to see for himself. It wasn't long before he spotted me, with marigolds on, scooping up turds, yelling "smelly brownies" and throwing the payload over the fence whenever they ran up every time. My dad decided if they were dumb enough to answer every time they deserved it.

- Janet-The Bottley Crue
Oh, I don't think ghost are spirits of the dead. Some kinda dimensional crossover or more likely the power of our minds over reality before society beats it out of us. Ever wonder why many kids in diff cultures have invis friends? Maybe dualism is real if the mind is open enough
- alphaxion
#12, wow.#22 sounds interesting. I wonder what kind of conversation did you have:)
