Okay. I'll allow it if it's magical WITSEC. But please tell me Sirius gets super into "local culture" and insists on wearing a cowboy hat and boots.

Oh yeah! Like he did in Betwys Beddau, giving tours of the standing stones. I bet Sirius gives Jean Lafitte Pirate History tours and also Isaac’s Storm tours. Old-money Kennedy-ass sounding yankee in black cowboy boots drawling about the wicket bad hahrricayne of nahnteen hundred....

Sam, fess up — this is clearly a Dad just did something embarrassing and I am a teenager why is my life look. Also she’s so beautiful my goodness.

She is the prettiest except for Dearborn, who is first-equal :D I HAD just come in from my bike ride in my new super hipster wood grain helmet...

If it's near Monomoy, you could potentially have it guarded by sharks. That's usually where the great whites like to hang out in the summer.

LOL! Or giant horseshoe crabs.

The opposite end of the state, not far from Albany, NY.

i love that your kid has a parent like you and not one like nonnie

Yeah, people like that creep have no business being a parent. <3

It's SO great to have you on my side! You are a Wonderful Parent- never doubt it.

Thanks darling <33333

IDK it just seems weird and creepy that anon thinks of these kids as having no agency and only as political pawns.

And honestly the "dressing your child" wording is weirdly designating you the personal task of selecting each of your kids' items of clothing? Which if they knew anything about your blog they'd know your kids are old enough to pick their clothes and dress themselves.

Oh man, seriously creepy.  Kids start dressing themselves in single digits, and also, what kind of parent actively *wants* their offspring to steal their clothes? Not me! lol. I’ve always encouraged both my kids to do what feels right for them, not what peer pressure and society says they should do based purely on their reproductive organs. Pawns they definitely are not.

Also super weird that they use “child” to mean boy, and by weird I mean misogyny!

(Uh, I mean, it seems they are - I don’t mean to gender your kid. Skirts are cute for all!)

Dude, right on. A 14 year old is not an infant! I could throw them to the wild at this point and they’d basically be able to fend for themself, sheesh.

My heavens, heart eyes to you, what an asshole and ignorant.

Right??? The nerve of some people.

This is a thing of beauty, and I am sorry this person felt compelled to be an asshole.

“What do you do with a lot of followers?” Well, you could probably get a lot of them to clutch their faces at stories of Obi-Wan… oh wait, you do that already. 😉

Post Office Bounty continued! 

The fun blue-and-white nautical card, the TENTACLES OMG, and the gorgeous art-deco bottle opener are from @capt-spork; you are right that being associated with tentacles wasn’t what I expected from life, but honestly, could I have asked for better?

I am so late in posting the pretty blue Greetings of the Season card from Diane (I, too, am sorry I am so late with this!) and I love the snowflakes -- I’m like 90% sure the one I put in the picture is Storm Troopers, isn’t it? 

The Rey-sist sticker (HA!) and the owl sticker, along with the pretty gold card behind them, are from @jadesymb -- I love the stickers, thank you! 

@wisiaden sent me the fun reindeer card along with the Steve/Tony tsum sticker and the GHOST-IT NOTES, I plan to use them at the conference I’m going to soon! Thank you! Glad you found the ghost :D 

And the owl card (the big owl is a magnet now adorning my fridge!) is from @happyreaderofalmostanything -- I’m so glad that with anything to read, you chose my fics! 

voyageboots replied to your photoset “Kilz latex primer does battle...”

Evil red walls. Tiny creepy body storage closet. Creepy mirror on the interior of a closet. Murder window. Fridge of death. Have you considered you might have moved into a former villains lair??

The thought crossed my mind that I am living in the first twenty minutes of a horror movie right now, but I hadn’t considered a supervillain. Intriguing. 

nefersitra replied to your post “Startled yell #3”

Sam, I kinda think your entire new home is murderous; the ladder, window and mirror are just obvious about it. The fridge was the warning ....

I am determined to defeat the evil! I shall purge the fridge! 

capt-spork replied to your post “Startled yell #3”

Perhaps your closet opens out somewhere else

I’m beginning to wonder.

Apparently it’s a really common thing among New York residents for people to have dreams that they open a door in their apartment they never noticed before and it leads to a room they didn’t know they had. :D 

terrie01 replied to your post “Startled yell #3”

Sam, should we be googling "exorcists Chicago" for you?

Nonsense, I’m a DIYer, if I need to exorcise it I will find a youtube how-to video and do it myself! 

alovecraft replied to your post “Startled yell #3”

I'm starting to wonder if you bought a cursed condo.

I try to think of it as...a rehab opportunity. :D 

biteswhenprovoked replied to your post “Startled yell #3”

You sure you want to reinstall it somewhere where it can keep an eye on YOU?

I defy the clearly cursed mirror! I have nothing to hide from its murky depths!

realmarysue replied to your post “Startled yell #3”

I was out doing my NYE partying last night so I come home today and the first thing I see on my dash is "Startled Yell #3" and I'm all, Oh, of course Sam bought a cursed house, not even slightly surprised. Y'all got botanicas out there, right? Get some sage and frankincense and just go to town.

It is a very me thing to do, buying a cursed condo. I’m hoping repainting will do the job and no incense will be required, but I did take a Mountain Lodge “Chris Evans flavor” Yankee Candle over there.  

karadin replied to your post “Startled yell #3”

oh did your ghost come with you?

Not yet! Her traveling box is sitting on the windowsill waiting for her. I’ll probably take the box over tomorrow and then bring it home again, just in case she changes her mind. I won’t make it final until the move. 

kestrel337 replied to your photo “Found my extremely ordinary and not at all foreboding or suspiciously...”

Yeah, Amontillado was my first thought, also. But weren't False Walls a thing in Egyptian tombs, too? Could be treasures untold!

shirokou replied to your photo “Found my extremely ordinary and not at all foreboding or suspiciously...”

There's treasure or a mummy back there. Maybe a mummy covered in treasure!

I love the idea that there’s a random pharaoh walled up in my storage unit :D 

dorkilybeautiful replied to your photoset “Behold my fridge. For those of you warning me not to eat the butter,...”

So hey, a thought: leave a small offering of new butter. Maybe periodically. Because that's just a weird enough thing to be in there, especially if you didn't notice it before...

I have been kyburg since 1987? Is that longer than you've been alive? ;)

Not quite! I was eight! But I would not have been able to receive email from you. :D

Better hope ghost approves

If she doesn’t it is much too late now.

Sam no. Noooooo. Step away from what looks like a slushie of sad chocolate.

It looks like that because that’s exactly what it is.

mooseman13579 replied to your photo “GUYS I FORGOT IT WAS SUMMER”

I'd ask how it's different from a chocolate milkshake but I realized I don't actually want to know.

Well, there’s no ice cream in it -- it’s basically just chocolate milk whizzed up with ice, I think. But like, really cheap chocolate milk, not the good stuff. 

froofie replied to your photo “GUYS I FORGOT IT WAS SUMMER”

I take it your tummy is better (unless this was taken on another day)?

Yeah -- I didn’t have a large lunch, and it wore off by the time I was passing the Dunkin (walking around doing grocery shopping helped, I think). 

lololovescheese replied to your photo “GUYS I FORGOT IT WAS SUMMER”

Dang, how much sugar is in that, you think?

According to the website, 73 grams per 16 oz, which is the small size.
