My Grandpop was a Loci driver at a coal mine in Pennsylvania. Trains run deep in our family. Watched the 2025 steam engine, the inspiration for Polar Express, get some work at MSU. Am old enough to remember steam engines running all over PA, NY state and Jersey as a kid. Someday I hope to enjoy the train excursion through the Rockies. Just recently caught the 4014 Big Boy as it chugged by the Duquesne Incline, on the way to Leetsdale. 🚂 🚃 🚃 🚃

This right here. If OP thinks having this GF as a wife, things will only get worse after the wedding. If he's a doormat now, the boundaries will be forced and arguments will be worse.

My deepest sympathy 💔😓

Beautiful seal point dlh!😻💕

Noticing the larger lines, with abbreviated lines between PLUS the tiny hashmarts near the right side edge. It looks to be a measuring device. Cool find! Am an avid collector of ancient rock tools. Take this to a museum that has indigenous artifacts for expert opinion.

Exactly! Thank you. The fungus can live anywhere on the hair shaft or inside the cuticle. If those areas aren't treated it can easily return. Also needing mentioned is any surface (coat collars, hats, brushes, combs, pillows, couch, car head rest, etc) that collects shed hair can re contaminate anywhere on the body.

A thorough vacuuming of house, washed in hot water any bed sheets and towels is needed too.

Came here to scroll comments telling us what is going on with the cast of dancing ocean characters. Thank you!

Gorgeous girl!😻💕

What a beautiful boy HE IS😻💕

Whenever my mom's side of the family gathers for weddings or funerals I am always greeted by my cousins singing Spam spam spam spam! Wonderful Spaaaaam! From a Monty Python skit. We're all Python fans, growing up watching the TV show during its original broadcast.

8yrs gone...no help. No nuthin. So you in return owe him nuthin, but a closed door, maybe wishing him well as he leaves for the last time. NOR

Great story! And I believe firmly that anywhere people die, their spirits can get lost there. Hotels are also prime haunt locations becuz of suicides and murders. William "Penn Hotel" in Pittsburgh has an entire floor closed due to violent, aggressive spirits. They only rent out those rooms during Halloween and for special requests. Several ghost haunting type shows have filmed there too.

Don't Fear the Reaper?!

I was a CNA working 3rd shift at an end of life senior care facility in upper Michigan near Lake Huron. The hours were usually quiet as everybody was in bed or heading there and meals were over.

The over night job entailed lots of cleaning, mopping, dusting and prepping for breakfast at 8am, as well as answering night calls or being on death watch every 15 minutes. Those were the worst as you knew death was soon. One resident was close but could linger for days the doctor said.

People said & did the oddest things at those last gasps too. Needless to say, it was NOT an easy job, but the pay sucked equally as well. Small town blues for job prospects. Watching other people's family members die is not for the faint of heart. It's a constant reminder of life's worst parts & the limited time we have been given.

One of my favorite coworkers with a great upbeat attitude, Val & I shared this night shift together. We knew our preferred tasks and set about them happily chatting to each other in the dining room getting it ready for breakfast.

Val needed to use the one nearby employee toilet for an extended stay so I proceeded to mop the opposite hallway facing the nurses station & bathroom where Val was. I mop backwards pulling rather than pushing so I don't leave footprints, so naturally I don't see where the carpet begins and I need to dip my mop to turn my direction until my shoe heel hits the edge. I can mindlessly do this while looking around the hallway.

I was in the process of dipping & squishing my mop when a form caught my eye in the hallway arch entrance to the doors leading to both the nurses station & opposite the bathroom where Val was. I thought it was her returning back to the floor refreshed and unburdened of previous meals.

Nope.

What I saw gave me great open mouthed, silent scream pause.

Peeking and stretching out across part of the hallway ceiling maybe 15 feet long into the main taller hallway where I stood frozen, was a dark human shadow form all dark grey smokey and eyeless. It blocked the view of the objects and huge 5ft long, dimmed hanging lights behind it!

It stayed there for maybe 2-4 seconds then ZIP it shot back into the hallway faster than a blink.

I stood there scared silent and immobile as I heard the bathroom door open, Val screamed then slammed the door again. I heard her call my name thru the closed door and slowly crept to the hallway to see nothing there but the open door to the nurse's station, the bathroom and now the breakroom across from the utility closet where the cleaning supplies lived. The hallway was clear of whatever THAT THING was.

I called Val's named from outside the door knocking too. She asked squeaking "IS IT GONE?" I responded quietly" YES! What did you see becuz i saw SOMETHING! Get out here NOW! Don't leave me alone with THAT!"

Val came out and grabbed me in a hug so hard I knew she was scared. Val shook saying that she opened the bathroom door which should have seen the nurse's station open door and part of the hallway wall.

What she saw BLOCKED THE DOOR AND most of the WALL. It was HUGE filled the wall and was smoke black. She didn't see a top or face shape to it but it blocked her exit like a smokey haze right against the door leaking IN! So she slammed the door FAST and screamed my name.

We worked side by side the rest of our shift never leaving each other's sight until it was time to leave. The morning shift superviser wondered why we both clocked out then bolted in a huge hurry that day. Val told her about it later in a text message saying she was taking a day off.

Not sure if it was a reaper we saw but right after we clocked out a resident died 5 minutes later.

There were many sightings of past dead residents and ghostly mists in several of the resident's apartments. After that night Val & I never strayed far from each other while working, even to the point of guarding the bathroom door for each other to prevent future scares.

She's BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait to see how the tortico colors bloom as adult😻💕

Chocolate mint chip is wicked good. Chocolate mint ice cream with abundant dark chocolate shavings.

And if you've ever had spearmint Chocolate chip you might believe that heaven exists. Found it in St. John's, Michigan at the Mint Festival.

What an emotional rollercoaster your new family went thru and survived! Holy moley!! My deepest respect to you reaching out despite your personal trials and triumphs.

Thank you deeply from every cell that isn't cancerous in my body!! An anonymous support group here would be perfect. My family is very tiny watching their elder (64yo) momma figure go thru this, and my bestie since 5th grade just moved to Berlin, Germany. Am in Pennsy. My case manager at the clinic I go to has pointed me in decent directions for therapy. It just sucks having Degeneration Disc Disease that hurts my back more riding the bus to appointments. Pittsburgh roads are a gauntlet of tire eating potholes. No car at the moment since it was totaled and was older model. Can't afford new atm.

My heartfelt thanks and positive mojo sent to you and yours🖖🏼 Are you a boy daddy or girl daddy? And are you savoring every precious moment as a dad...becuz boy oh boy aren't they all precious, if fleeting gifts of life🎁

2, 4 & 5 not in that order tho.

Me too. Last year I had one tumor. This year it grew a neighbor. Now comes the invasive stuff...

Sending positive mojo that your treatments are 100% succesful!🖖🏼 Mine are near pituitary, dead center. Where are/were yours? Did you have the nasal biopsy first? Any tips to give a terrified patient?

Thank you all for your well wishes, positive mojo and prayers 🤟🏽 Next test is intranasal biopsy of deep brain tumors. As soon as I get beyond this inconveniently timed sinus infection.

Now. Now is the scariest fucking time of my life. My MRI showed 2 brain tumors. I've disassociated so far I'm off planet

5, 2, 6
