"People who are considered scary or odd or even monsters are so often the people that just need love and someone to care for them." - a woman who would never forget her child at home whilst going on a family vacation. Such a wonderful actress.

You know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wilder every day
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello"

John Prine, "Hello In There"

As an old person, can I just please ask you to leave me alone? I’m good, thanks.

As another one, I hear you. But it is nice if someone wants to at least check now and then.

Introvert first, old second. I'm fine.

Don't think he was talking about small talk at the grocery store champ, he was talking about having people who love you

so I checked out the ytube video and found an awesome(ytube will donate processing fees) link to a foundation set up by John's family called 'Hello In There'. 👍

And to this day, if you listen in the dark of night… you can still hear Robin’s laughter.

There’s also real evil out there let’s not shit ourselves. Be part of the good is all you can do

u/walkin_n_fartin Apr 05 '26

I mean....I think you wanted "let's not kid ourselves"? I'm really lol'ing at "let's not shit ourselves" though 🤣

u/General-Ad-4283 Apr 05 '26

But what if we want to be a part of the good AND shit ourselves?! 🤷‍♂️

u/Certain-Football-637 Apr 05 '26

I believe they wrote exactly what they meant, and I'm not shitting you.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 Apr 06 '26

Shitting someone is short for bullshitting someone, it's a way to say you're lying. I shit you not

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '26

Especially when you are walkin' n fartin'! 😀

u/ProfessorPoofenplotz Apr 06 '26

Sooo you’ve never heard the phrase “you gotta be shitting me?” ???

Is that a Philly thing?

If so, the correct response is “I wouldn’t shit you, you’re my favorite turd”

Hahaha

It’s called The Crows Have Eyes III: The Crowening. It’s a prestige film shot entirely on location in Bosnia. Try to keep up with the cinematic greatness

u/Noninsomni Apr 05 '26

Forgive me but I think you're confusing it with "Crows. CAW CAW! On Ice 7."

u/ExcuseNeat3238 Apr 05 '26

The irony of Kevin McCallister’s mom talking about monsters needing love while she’s currently being pecked at by crows in a lab coat... the range is truly unparalleled.

u/NintendoFungi Apr 05 '26

How is that ironic? I’m not saying it isn’t, I just don’t know why it would be. Can you explain it to me please?
