    I can only assume that in the end you would have been saved by your order containing lots of rare and expensive stuff they don't have in stock :D


    As for the challenge, still waiting for an idea. All the crawlies have gone, so I suppose I'll have to do creepy.
    Creativity's hard.

    Worst nightmare ever.

    I come home from work, the front door is kicked in.
    I run into the house, both dogs are dead, stabbed many times with a knife.
    The wife's car is in the driveway, so I'm running around trying to find her.
    I run up the stairs into the bedroom, (just a note, our bedroom door is in the middle of
    a wall so there is a right and left to the inside of the room)
    I look on the bed, the wife is, for lack of a better term, tore up.
    I start to screem NOOOOOOOOOO, someone behind me grabs the top of my head
    with their left hand, and cuts my throat, deep.
    At this point I almost wake up, I jump into a sitting position in the bed, both hands
    on my throat, gasping for air.
    My wife grabs my arm and is shaking me yelling, What's wrong, What's wrong.
    At this point, I finally wake up the rest of the way, sweat pouring out of me, I tell her what went on.
    I go to the bathroom to get a drink of water and to make sure that there is no cut on my neck.
    I don't sleep right for the next two weeks.

    And yes, this did really happen.

    Sleep tight.:D

    (I think there's a short movie here, don't you?)
    dave.

    Basking in the shadows of yesterday's triumphs'.

    Yikes, Dave. eek7.gif You know, in any movie, if someone goes after the pet, I dissolve into a blubbering mess. They can kill off people left and right, but the screenwriters dang well better leave the animals alone. I can't take it. :cry

    If I had your dream (subbing cats for dogs), I'd wake up and cuddle the kitties for hours all weepy like. This would probably hold true were I married and my husband suffered the same fate in the dream. :D

    Part of the alien abduction scenerio. You're driving at night & it's about 7:00 p.m. You see the UFO, then wake up in your car & it's 2:00 a.m. What happened to all that time? Don't know how I could make a photo of that though.....headscratch.gif

    Wow I must have hit a nerve with a bunch of you all... only Liz C. replied to my alien abduction post. Anybody out there? Is everything OK? Come on we were all talking about scary stuff.... Either you are all on the East Coast and asleep already.... or you're scorning me for bringing this up. I won't bring it up again.... Sorry if I went too far.... I could tell you guys halloween stories that would keep you from sleeping for weeks - & they are all just stories (true ones) I have heard from other people. Sorry if I upset anybody. Wess/MadCat.

    They came to get me last night, but as they had a lot of tests to do on me and they couldn't guarantee they'd bring me back by the eve of November 1st, they said they'd be back November 2nd sometime after the noon hour..

    Wess,
    I fell asleep--Feeling a little under the weather, took some Nyquil and that's all she wrote.
    BTW--right before falling asleep I saw a trailer for a movie about alien abductions during sleep--all these people are waking exhausted etc and go to a sleep clinic where horrible things are seen happening to them as they sleep, but they don't know it......It was a quick commercial, but it looked pretty scary, and right up your alley.

    Friday night I'm going to a haunted hause with my sisters--I will go through the entire thing with my eyes closed--I will be in the lead and they will be tightly wrapped around me--we will pay $20 bucks each to not see anything and walk out blubbering and scared to death--can't wait!

    Divamum--just read your public PM--Promise not to post anythign without warning you if it has zzzzzzznakes in it.

    Been brainstorming about this challenge--I can't wait to start trying out some of my ideas over the weekend.

    I was asleep. :D Woken up by sounds of construction that I thought were my natural gas alarms going off again, which caused me to bolt right out of bed. Better than an alarm clock.

    When we still lived in SoCal, my wife woke early one morning and started shaking the bed a little, saying that there was an earthquake... I woke and bolted to get under a door jamb, while she basically lay there laughing her @$$ off.. Took me an hour to come back to reality anyway...

    I lived in SoCal for 10 years and to this day if my husband puts his socks on while sittting on the bed I think it's an earthquake!

    When I was living in the North of England, one afternoon I stopped dead in my tracks as the room shook. I called my best friend and said, "Did we just have an earthquake??!" He was laughing himself silly at me until later that evening on the news the TOP STORY was about the seismic activity in North Wales. Boy, was I smug.... rolleyes1.gif

    Wow, fears and nightmares, huh?

    I used to be incredibly arachniphobic... really really bad! I regularly had dreams that my entire bed/room was covered in spiders - not just one kind, but every kind imaginable. It was awful.

    Then I went to Belize for 2 months where tarantulas were the norm, and now I'm totally ok with spiders as long as the huge and or venomous ones are not touching me. I have a couple of very very tiny house spiders (which, incidentally, are good luck in Eastern Europe) and the banana spider out back (she's back! Must've been hiding during the cold weather. Our 3.5 days of fall are over, it's 80 again. Curse you, Florida!), and I like having them around.

    Cockroaches/palmetto bugs - horrible, horrible things, as I've stated more than once. And cockroach larvae... oh God... so so horrible.

    Other bugs - yeah, I'm ok with them. Back to Divamum's irrationality stuff... Ladybugs, cute. Dung beetles, awesome. Cockroaches, cursing their existence and feeling like I'm going to be ill. That doesn't make any sense!

    Snakes - love 'em, used to have pets

    Rodents - no problem

    Dolls/mannequin/clowns - Work of the devil.

    Any mention of ghosts or haunted anything and I'm absolutely done for... I'll sleep with the light on for a month and my mind just takes off imagining all kinds of crazy things. The rational switch in my brain gets stuck at 'off'.

    Looks like Llywellyn came up with a really good round this time!!! There's going to be a ton of creativity, I'm sure!

    She is "to die for" I can vouch right now!

    OK fellows, this is hard staying in my little box here. I rarely go into the advice threads in here anyway, so that part is easy, but if you are creating a fun thread in the next few weeks, maybe say that it's "Hoof-Safe" or something like that so I can still be part of the fun...

    For instance, jwear, can I go into your recent "Divamum" thread? without seeing a trial baloon for DSS36?

    OMG--dolls! I used to have a nice ceramic doll collection, but some time near the end of middle school, they started to seriously freak me out. I put them all in boxes and hid them under the bed, but then I started to worry they would be upset with that treatment, sneak out of their boxes, crawl up the bedcovers, and attack me at night. I asked my parents then to put them in the attic. But I never felt safe until they were all sold later in a garage sale.

    Dolls still get me. This one was in my hotel in Stockholm this summer, and I worried it would launch out of its swing at me while I was taking the picture. lol3.gif

    I thought about going to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios this year - I've never been and it's only a couple hours from here, but Chucky will be featured this year... soo... maybe next year. :D

    I recently introduced a fellow co-worker to this forum, he's into watch photography and just entered his first challenge on the last go round "Sirbey" is his dgrin name.

    He just sent me an email saying "Liz, help a guy out, can I bring in my camera tomorrow and you pose for me for this new challenge!" rolleyes1.gif . That's the thanks I get for introducing him to this forum, lol.

    Ok worst feeling on earth---Being a child and having to turn off the bathroom light and then SPRINT to your room in the dark--Seemed like the halway was a mile long. .....


    I'm 27 and I still do that! My 3 year old thinks i'm nuts!rolleyes1.gif

    what freaks me out most is those bugs that lay their eggs in your skin, i've seen discovery shows where people come back from somewhere in the middle of south america with larve under their skin... :::shiver::: I don't think that happens in missouri, or I hope not anyway. Ticks are bad enough!

    That's funny, because yesterday I was watching "National Geographic: The Photographers" which I rented from Netflix and I couldn't believe what some of these Photographers had to go through in order to get the shot they wanted. Speaking of "larva under their skin" or having their faces covered with bugs in the middle of a jungle in Africa in order to take a photograph of a Chimpanzee was pretty gross and disgusting to say the least. One guy was saying that he got Malaria 12 times in his career as a National Geographic Photographer!

    If you haven't seen "National Geographic: The Photographers", see it, it's incredible.
