God treetrunking Damn It!!!!

I'm being haunted again... OK, I like being alone, but not when I'm outnumbered by three ghosts...

ERRRGGGG!!!! (I'm freaked out)

But I feel like I'm in the fighting spirit tonight, so if they want a fight, I'm ready. And I turned up the radio really loud so I don't hear the whispering and footsteps and stuff...

I think I make it through the night...

(I'm not crazy, I'm really not)

no , but the ghosts might be crazy...so watch out.lol

good point cj7
do u live in a family house or one u moved into?
also have other family members noticed such happenings?

lol... no, I'm not the only luny in my house.... The rest of my family have seen things too.

good
that's good.
i'm glad
i wonder though.
why they wnat to stay there at ur home.

hmmm... maybe they like my mom's cooking...

Guess you'll find out who they're there for.. once you leave. (if they follow you) erhmm. ?

maybe they'll terrorize my room mate... that would be really funny.... *evil laugh*

Looking forward to that? BTW? Picking up prior thread...

oh the room mate thing? not in the least... I don't do good having to share very tight spaces with people for extended periods of time... I become... very... cuastrofobic... And probably will take to wandering the streets by night to escape the snoring, and I will get a room mate that snores, because that's just my luck.

Or holy.

Yes....yes... drifting the streetways and alleys.. looking.. searching.. when all you want is that perfect cup of cappincino.. (don't let msp's destroy the mood) Roll with it, babe...

lol... hmmm... yes... under the stars at night, and for some reason I'm sure you can see the stars, despight it being a city... yes... Oh wait, I'm not looking up... oh no, that's not the moon, the moon wouldn't be honking at me...

Beware of sleepwalking in middle of street

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie.. They probably wouldn't tell you the truth Anyway... "My what pretty grillwork" < Splatt >

lol... perhaps I should stick to just walking along the side of the river... I think there's a side walk there...

and grass... grass is good.

Speaking of grass.. (aka.. "here's a quiz"..) How far can you run into a forest? (Mz. Mathematiz?)

how far can you run into a forest— hmm... that's worded odly... I'd say until you hit a tree.

Fair enough. You're thinking. Ahem.. (here comes the dumb answer).. You can only run half way into a forest. The other half, you'll be running out. (This is merely free association time.. there are No grades here..)

lol... now that you say the punch line, yeah, I've heard that one before... lol... so, are you half into the forrest or half out? this is sort of like a weird play on the glass of water question.

Ahhh.. Jedi.. but the water glass is a .. fumble/dammit.. ah.. thingymabob.. (sigh) about one's life perspective.. whether it be half full (opto) or half empty (deppresso..)
Ergh..sorta.. (no matter.. pay no mind.. ) If' you've no mind, it doesnt' matta anyway.. Whereas the forest doomaflichy is regarding spatial distance. Or whatever else kind of impressive bull pucky I can get in here.. Sniff.

ummm... metaphor?

yeah I see well just thought that maybe if you think you're half in, you're a lot more depressed than if you think you're half out, but then that could just be my mind, and what do I know? I'm not even in a forrest... no my mind is at the beach... I like the beach.. nice... I think I'll go swimming...

Ohh.. no, I liked that.. Your way refers to "moods".. a yet different aspect I'd not considered.
If you are by the beach, truly, I would.. nice there. (We have no true beach.. it was imported and plunked on a lake front.. s'not the same.)

yeah... same here... I'd have to drive to long island to go to a real beach... I'd like to... but can't right now... hmmm... but now, I'm at the beach in my mind... which is good enough for me right now... cause you know, dreams and images in your mind can be perfect and never disappointing, unlike if I was really at the beach, and probably it would be raining or something.... although it's fun to be at the beach in the rain, actually I like it better.... especially lightning... although that's just not smart... I knew a girl who was killed, struck by lightning on the beach... not good at all... see, though, just imagining yourself at the beach, you can't get struck by lightning, well, you could, but then you'd really have to be depressed.

ok, just ignore that... I don't know what I was talking about... hmmm... yeah... I'm confused...

I've been at the beach, up to my neck in water, with it raining. That's strange enough.. drops pelting the surface and a million splashes.. then I did begin to see lightening. (I got out then) And true, probably no safer than standing on the beach, the tallest thing within 100 feet, etc. Perhaps it was just more impressive because the strikes looked much longer, traveled further or that I could just see more of the unobstructed horizon. (it's been too long since I've done that..)

Where I live, going to the [real]beach at night is more visually interesting for me. You can see dozens of tiny lights on the horizon (oil platforms.. but I don't dwell on this) and usually clear skies. The smell of salt and sounds of waves seem more intensified at night, and you're more likely to be the sole occupant. (And stars are always good.)

half way and then you run out the other half. 😉

Well darn! I posted my response without seeing that there was a page 2. Guess I am a day late and a dollar short.

Maybe next time.

I'll give you credit Freebird.. I had more, but I'm too fuzzy at the moment to think of them. Hmm.. Well, here's one you may already know.. It's based on true history.. How many eggs are in a "baker's dozen".. and "why"?

Oh, I know this one... 13, so that they don't miscount and get in trouble with the authorities....

No you can run half way after that your running out. As for ghost we have tons of them here most people beleive in them except I, I think its all B.S. never seen one and only have had a couple exsperances were it could have been one. but I opt for another explanation.

The Baker's Dozen.. and authorities.. very true. I think this was that medieval period you spoke of as well, earlier? Apparently, not putting a full dozen in a "sale" (either from cheating or forgetting) lead to baker's putting in 13.. (yup) to ensure even if you miscounted by 1, that "at least" you'd have.. 12. (which was the original deal.. only needed 12..) I heard the penalty was stiff, but don't know how bad it was.. flogging? beheading? Never found that answer.

My last one.. A car barrels down the road at 50 mph, into a head wind of 45 mph, down an incline of 30 degrees slope.. How fast is the speed of each tire as it makes contact with the surface of the road? BTW.. this is like the forest.. it's a BS answer (and yet it isn't) Don't rack your brain.

0 mph

no, that's funny.
but must say though that the ghosts will haunt u. someday i hope. just so that u know.
i've had a few experinces with them.
anyone ever heard of Question u know the artist.

Just need a Quiji board.

ooh.. You Do know how to read very well.

Thanx Espernaut, I was worried for a moment there.

Alright, I'm willing to admit my stupidity on this one....

Can someone please explain to the girl who had to take Algebra twice, why the answer is zero miles per hour? I've a feeling it's something to do with the fact that the wind is almost causing the car to not be able to move, and the degree of the slope is somehow preventing the car from touching the ground...

grrrr....the only comfort I can take right now is in the fact that I overcompensated for my complete lack of numeric knowlege in English Lit...

which comes in handy when it's necessary to whine, "I need help!"

Jackbutter, we haven't heard a peep from you in a while...and I'm sure you're good at stuff like this...what say you, pray tell.

50 mph

Phoenix,
Do not feel alone here. I hated math questions which gave a slew of figures and such.. while you killed yourself trying to somehow tie them all in. When in fact, you weren't supposed to. (Believe it.. it happened to me also..)
The tell tale sign is :"the tire speed making Contact with the road". At the moment of contact (that instant) it's literally "not" moving at all (for a fraction of a second)..
All the other facts were there only to confuse.. which they do, and did.. to me and others. It's not math per se, it's that "thinking outside the box".. the ordinary, the conventional.

How can I put this.. I do feel a tad of smugness.. since you gals have that built in radar thing.. whereas we guys would rather die than admit or need directions. We suffer from homing~beacon envy. How's that?

THERE IS NO BOX

Espernaut...I see, thank you for explaining.

I've thought of this before: for a moment, when walking, you are completely off the ground. So all day long, you're falling. Or flying, if you see the glass as half-full...

And you're in a city, with no forest in sight... Are you heading towards it, or away from it?

I PUT my spoon in the box!! And yeah.. walking, running, etc.. is falling forward..all day long. Flying would be great.. falling is reaching terminal velocity. (that last a tad bit telling, eh?) Suspension of Reality: Toy Story/Buzz Lightyear "We're Falling with *! style ✨ ..... (pthupt!)
Morgan.. DoN't mAke me do the Tree falls inna forest/sound thing.. cuz Virgos hate that.. Forest for the trees biz. Besides.. you mean heading for that unseen forest while inside the city or wha.. Gheez I hate this stuff!
