Happy Hell-oween

 

The time has come,

it seems this year 

is going to be different

will the candy still be served,

or will our fears of Covid,

take over,

Costumes still sold,

people still celebrate

parties go on,

but we still,

stay safe

the kids,

will still get the candy,

but will they get the scares,

or will the families,

be more cautious

some states,

banned trick-or-treating this year,

but it doesn't mean,

you can't have fun,

right

The candy will still be there,

getting it door from door,

might be tricky,

but kids will be kids

So enjoy Halloween,

the spooks,

the frights,

the candy,

the parties,

and much more,

Just stay safe,

enjoy your Halloween,

and don't be afraid,

to eat your candy

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Simpsons in the future

 

32 years

and it still goes strong

who never knew

they would last this long

They started on a show

they haven't aged a bit

and yet

they keep going strong

and we can't

forget it

Look at them now

they're still the same

the stories are getting stranger

stories becoming lame

Characters vanish,

voices change,

in 2020

things becomes very strange

Characters vanish and disappear,

it's seems pretty sad,

things becoming offensive

Everyone becoming mad

A bumblebee man,

An Indian,

And some more,

are disappearing

They predict our future,

it comes true,

a president,

football scores,

deadly virus,

they never stop

So,

is this where it ends,

where are favorite yellow family,

takes their last bow,

Disney own them,

and that prediction,

happened now

predicted before,

long ago,

it's seemed to happen fast,

and it started out slow

32 years,

gone by fast,

but the Simpsons will remain,

a treasure,

that will last

2020 in Review

 

  With it being October, 2020 is almost over. Half of the ecomy is screwed, everyone is freaking out over who will be our next president, and well....some of us have lost our jobs.

Covid is the biggest thing to hit 2020. Happening around March of 2020, it started spreading like wildfire. So many people ended up sick, and a lot more ended up dead and well...it's just sad. I am one of the survivors, but I have lost my job and why, my health is more important (Ok I really didn't lose my job, but I can't go back to work because of my health)

We lost a major basketball player in mid-January. His name was Kobe Bryant. He, along with his daughter and a few others were killed in a helicopter crash. It shocked everyone in America, not beleving something this tragic would happen.

We lost a lot of famous people this year. Some to Covid and some to cancer and much more. Eddie Van Halen, Little Richard, Kenny Rogers, Chadwick Boseman, Ruth Beta Ginsburg, Regis Philbin, Olivia D Havilland, Kelly Preston, Wilford Brimley, Jerry Stiller and many more. Recently, we lost baseball player Whitey Ford. 

For Sports, some of them were postponed, while others were cancelled indefinitely. Recently, LA Lakers won the NBA finals. Not a fan of them, but I felt that this year, they needed it. And they won, for Kobe Bryant. Congrats to them.

Even with Covid being around, technology is still getting stronger and it seems some scientist are doing the best they can to further technology and help get rid of Covid once and for all. Will it mean things will go back to normal? I don't think so. It will take a long road until anything happens

The biggest thing everyone is worried about is what will happen on November 3rd, 2020. Election Day. This year seems the hardest of all to decide. One vs the other. I will vote for Biden because a lot of people, like me, feel that Trump has destroyed not only our economy, but our lives in general. 

2020 is far from over, but it feels that we might repeat our birthday age once 2021 is here. That we will celebrate happiness once again after this year is gone. Everything will be different. People will start to work from home, jobs will be back to normal one day

Our lives will be different, but we will get through it day by day. Even we end up working from home, find a new way to survive, spend more time fighting whatever is going on. Keeping our depression in check. This year has not been a good year for any of us, but we always think on the positive, and hope for a better future in 2021.

Beyond Belief- Real Stories

 

 

       There once was this tv show hosted by both James Brolin and Jonathan Frakes. I got hooked on it when went to Sci Fi (or SyFy whatever you wanna call it) told stories, some true, some false. What scared us more is the ones that were true. I'll give you some that are actually true. 

     I rewrote some using different names, but they are still true, and one that is total fiction. I'll give you that story later. First the stories that were on the show, and were true (I've changed the names for the families protection)

      Kid in the closet- A boy has been teased all his life because he believes of a monster is in his closet. His older brother, Jon, and his sister, Carie, don't care to hear any more of his scardy ness. It gets worse when his older brother, Jon decides to go in the closet. Starts screaming, and vanishes. Was there a monster, a trap door? But it seems the kid was never seen or heard from again.

        Invisible friend- A young girl who recently gained an invisible friend that can predict the future. Her mom thinks she should see more friends. Eventually her invisible friend can predict when someone is about to die, or can tell that a neighbor is going through a rough patch in their marriage. Eventually, she hides her invisible friend in the drawer of her bedroom when her mother tells her it's best to keep her friend a secret.

 

 The Magical Rose Garden- An elderly couple had planted a rose garden. Soon the wife begins to predict stuff after being near the rose garden as she tries to plant and prune. Telling her husband that she is seeing visions of things that were going to happen. Like her granddaughter choking on a toy, or for a house not to be sold because there was treasure underneath. That's one magical rose garden

Room 247-  A very sick mother and her daughter were traveling. They stopped at a fancy motel to get her mother some rest. Calling in a doctor, he checked on the mother as he said that she needed to get some medicine at a nearby drug store. She does that; however, when she returns everything is different. The motel staff do not recognize her, the doctor doesn't recognize her and what is shocking of all, when she returns to room 247, everything was gone, even the girl's sick mother. (this is the scariest one, and this happened in France decades ago)

Count Mystery- This happened a long time ago, don't know when. But a horse could predict the weather, where people missing are located, anything. The horse uses his nose and there are letters from A to Z. When a boy is lost, they use the horse to find out where he was. It seemed the horse used the letters to explain the young boy was trapped in a well. They found him safe, and it seems the horse became a famous hero in their town.

A Joyful noise- (I've heard about this one before on Unsolved Mysteries) A church choir was practicing for the church on a wintery Sunday. It seemed that they would have to arrive early, but it seems each and every choir member had a different reason for being late. Like working on a letter, finishing up homework, having to take a different route to the church, their friend's car was not working keeping another choir member late as well. A huge explosion happened as they all arrived. Nobody was hurt, the church was destroyed. It seemed there was a miracle that occurred keeping everyone late. (This happened in the 1950's at a church in Nebraska)

Those stories a too crazy to be real, but they are. But sometimes they add in a fake one to trick you thinking that it's real, like a dog coming back from the dead, a young student saving his teacher's life and much more. 

   Here's my story that is so spooky, it feels that it really happened, but it's pure fiction.

The Desk- A young mother tries to relive the tragedy of what happened to one of her twin daughters, Amber-Lynn. Her mother had a vintage style desk that her daughters would play around. What they didn't know is the desk could talk, but only the two young girls could hear it. It would have a bright glow as it whispered for them to come closer to the desk. They didn't the first time as the young woman asks her mother where she got the desk. It was at a garbage sale that her mother got it from. Later her other daughter, Ashley saw Amber-Lynn get closer to the desk, and vanish. They had to destroy the desk to find Amber-Lynn, but it seemed she would never be found again, even after the desk was in pieces.

     I have a creative mind yes, and this story is somewhat similar to the monster in the closet, but this one is pure fiction.

   Even though the show is no longer airing, you can still watch the episodes on YouTube. I do sometimes, but not often. I just create my own like the desk one. Till then, don't be scared, just believe that some things are too crazy to be true, even if they are.

Scariest tales that are true

       Ever wonder if some ghost stories are true? And where they got the material? Was it through history? Or was it something else? Something dark...something not explained. There are a few I have here, but don't be afraid...it's only fact

    His name was Busby, he had a chair, and swore on his last breath that whomever sat in his chair will immedietly die.

   Apparently the chair was placed in different places. Nothing happened yet, but once the chair reached an English Pub, it seemed the curse started to become true. During WWII, a Canadian Airman went in for a drink. Sat on the chair, and later was killed. A cleaning woman, who was cleaning the pub, accidently bumped and sat down on the chair. She died of an aneurysm a week later. 

   After a few more incidents, and deaths, they hung the chair so no one would ever sit in it again.

     I already talked about this haunting doll, but I'll keep it brief. Some of our toys can hold evil spirits. Robert the doll was no acception. He had supernatural powers. Would be seen moving when no one was in the room. Scare the owners, almost to death. Although there were no fatalities...one thing was sure, the doll had an evil spirit. They locked the doll in a glass case forever after finding out the evil spirits Robert the doll had. What scares us, that where he is placed...some haunted things have happened. Like the lights turning on and off as if he escaped his case to do it. Since then, the glass case was chained.

         Even noticing a ghost in your pictures is frightening enough. I do believe in ghosts and sprits, and sometimes I feel some of my past relatives are still watching over me. This young woman, named Denise Russell, took a picture of her grandmother. When the photo was developed, Denise and her mother got the shock of their life when they notices' and elderly man standing behind Denise's grandmother in the photo. It was Denise's grandfather who died many years ago

         There are some haunted places around Pennsylvania. In central PA (not too far in Gettysburg) there is a bridge known as the Sachs Covered Bridge where they say that people have seen a ghost of a soldier many times before. It's now considered a tourist attraction. I don't know much about this, but there is one place, a restaurant, I have heard about and it's located in King of Prussia area. 

 The General Warren Restaurant. I don't know if I've eaten there, but this restaurant holds what appears to be some sort of curse. Where it has been rumored that you would see ghosts of WWI soldiers that were lurking in the basement of the restaurant. I don't remember much of the story, but the haunting goes back to the American Revolutionary days. Now, it's still a functioning restaurant. However with COVID, you have to eat outside.

              There are haunting stories about a penitentiary in Philadelphia which is rumored to have ghosts of the prisoners that died in the penitentiary, Now they do tours and viewings of the old penitentiary. Where it used to be a functioning prison. You can still hear the howling of the dead, and fear for your life thinking that one of the ghost of the prisoners will trap you in one of the room where they suffered and died in. I don't know. I kind of fear finding out, but it never hurts to take a tour and find out if the legends of a haunted prison is true.

      Don't be afraid of what will end up being true, well....not everything is real, but some things, scary or not....will end up coming true. Till then, stay safe, stay well, and don't be afraid of the history, even if it is scary.

To tell the truth game show

 

     If you haven't heard of this show, then you must be living under a rock. What is this about, and when did it start?

 Around the 1950's when host Bud Coyler started hosting on CBS. It got more popular when host Gary Moore started to host. Kitty Carlisle was a regular contestant until her retirement in the late 80s.

They would have four constants that were from different tv shows. Kitty being one of them. They would change everyone and sometimes there were funny moments. Like a player not getting a name right as he says, "my name's the same as his." Or another contestant saying that he can't vote because he already had seen him in the bathroom.

    Another incident, well...it involved another player that was a bird caller or something, and the host was going to release the bird to the real person. However, the bird landed on the cameraman.

Even Orville Redenbacher was a panelist of To tell the truth. But nobody got him right. I did, and this came out before I was born. LOL. A few more famous people were panelist. Joe Barbara, Caroll Spinney, the guy who created Mad Magazine and much more.

John O'Hurley hosted To tell the truth for a few years. He was pretty good, but not too funny. I think I liked him more on Seinfeld.

Now... Anthony Anderson is the new host, and the show has gotten a lot funnier.

Anthony Anderson is hilarious. He even has his own mother on the show and she cracks everyone up. The show ha been pretty good so far. They have the same formula of three panalist, and some of them are a surprise.

One of them was well...she was a spy who wore costumes for the CIA or something. And around the last one, not only the mistress Elvira on, but she disguised herself as another panelist. 

 It seems Pee Wee Herman was also a panelist, but in a costume for the real person who did cos-play or something. His reveal was pretty amazing.

But they've had celebrities on before, mostly hidden in a costume of something. So this wouldn't be a first time.

Alex Trebek was also a host of To tell the truth a year before coming the host of Jeopardy. 

 

  

 The contestants even ate dog food. Ok, they didn't know they were eating dog food. They thought they were eating beef stroganoff. LOL
