Right now I am saying, THAT'S IT!!!!!!!

I'm already not allowed to touch most of the kitchen knives because I hurt myself with them. The metal tongs are out as well since I cut myself on those. We don't even buy real glasses because I break those constantly then slice myself open with them trying to clean the mess up. Darren's ready to go to plastic plates and bowls as well since I break those at a rate that's almost astonishing. There's another rule that I'm not supposed to drain boiling water because frankly I'm clumsy and the chances of me tripping, slipping, or just falling over nothing are pretty good. I usually burn a finger a week when I cook. All that's bad enough. But this time I've hit my all time stupid low! I was putting away the salt, when somehow I managed to hit the box of toothpicks, and of course it was open, and knocked them out of the cabinet. Now any sane person would have just let them fall and then picked them up. But, I've never claimed to be sane! I tried to catch the damn things midair, and closed my hand around a few of them. When I opened my hand, I had a toothpick sticking half way out of my finger! Dakota who was standing there, let out a shriek and took off to tell Caleb, who thought the gross factor was too good to pass up, so as I'm pulling this damn thing out of my finger, I was lucky enough to have an audience.

Darren needs to put up caution tape and just completely take over the kitchen duties. Obviously I shouldn't be anywhere near that room!

Right now, I love that hairstyle, Annie! I keep wondering if I could wear it, but I doubt it because my hair is so baby fine.

Right now, I'm watching Bridget Jones's Diary on tv. I love that movie! Right earlier, I watched Timeline on video. It was disappointing, but the book was wonderful.

Right now I wanted to tell Lost that the psychic's name is Sylvia Browne. She is one very interesting lady IMO and you are correct, according to her all you have to do is inform the ghost he is dead and that he needs to go to the light. Seems ghosts aren't aware they have died. Of course, if it's not a ghost and is a spirit you just need to tell them to cut it out. (I just love Sylvia)

Right now, we just avoided a fire. At 6:30, DH put water on to make me mac & cheese. I just took my jello spoon out to the kitchen, and discovered the pan on high heat with no water in it.

The pan's copper bottom is now gray. I think the pan is shot.

DH wants to try it again--but told me to remind him it's on the burner. Since he's a mere 8' away in the LR playing videogames, and I'm all the way in the bedroom (25'(?)), I'm supposed to remind him??

Right now, even though it might not be appropriate, I am giggling at Wargod's story.

HUGS sweetie! You aren't the only clumsy one

are you left handed by any chance?

Right Now I was going to tell Biloxi the same thing that Lost and JMM did. (I love Sylvia too, and almost got to ask her a question in person once..) I'd also like to hear some of what is going on in your home. I agree with Reader it has to be the land.

Right now, I'm glad that you avoided a fire Lk.
Right now, welcome to my world. DH has always been absent minded, but it's getting worse. Loses wallet, cell phone, keys; leaves freezer and/or refrigerator door open; puts clothes in washer without soap or doesn't turn on dryer after putting in wet clothes (yes, I appreciate that he attempts laundry); and in addition to your experience, also leaves the gas burner turned on even after removing the pan from stove. These are but a few of the frustrations I'm dealing with. Lately, I'm not sure whether to be angry or worried. I do know I'm worn out.
Sorry for the rant.

Right now, War, I'd like to say that according to DH I am the danger in the kitchen. However, since putting several aloe plants in the kitchen, my accident rate has drastically declined. Just a thought.

Right Now , thank you for all the suggestions. Now I will tell my ghost story if you promise not to throw a net over me.

Little background we bought this land over a year ago and got a fantastic deal. A developer cut a road off a road with high end houses on it. It was to back into an area called Shell Landing (Davis Love the golfer is part owner in Shell Landing). There will only be 8 houses on the road. The developer ear marked 4 acres at the end of the road for himself. After building the first house the developer lost the rest of the land to foreclosure. We found it just as the bank was at the end of their time line holding. And we're able to buy the 4 acres. We built our house and moved in at the end of November. The surrounding land has a lot of marsh and swamp so nothing has been built here prior to us. And the road has been newly cut.

Ok now ghosts or spirit. Just some basics. My DH alarm goes off 2 hours before mine. So he is long gone before I get up. On a number of mornings just as my alarm went off I felt my husband moving in the bed. Jumping up thinking he overslept I would find the bed empty and him gone. A couple of times as I was getting up I would hear the bedroom door close as if he was just leaving the room only to look out into an empty hall. He was long gone.

Mostly it is noise I have yet to see anything. A lot of doors closing when they haven't. Banging into the walls. My dad lives with me and he is 86 years old. I will hear a loud bang/bump thinking he fell I would go look and there he is sitting in his chair watching TV. Nothing is ever out of place after a noise.

Ok now the last couple of weeks it seems to be getting stronger (don't throw the net yet). Two weekends ago I was up late and was walking to my computer and heard a crash. I swear to you it sounded like an entire wall fell over I jumped a mile. I was the only one awake looked around and again nothing. But, this time the dog barked a low wolf type bark. This was the first time he heard it or at least responded.

Now my DH at first was telling me that it was just the house settleing. But, now he's not so sure and he is a realist. However, about a week and a half ago he was laying on our bed. I was coming out of our daughters bedroom and he came out of our room. He asked me if I was outside tapping on the window. I asked him if I looked like I was outside tapping on a window. He said he was laying there and heard someone tapping on the glass. When he got up it stopped and no one was there. He thought it was me fooling around.

Now the beginning of this week he has this big set up in our den. Not just a TV for him no sir he has this projector with a receiver and a huge pull down screen. For 30 minutes the receiver just kept coming on itself. He'd turn it off and on it would come again. I keep telling him we are not alone here. He always poo-poo'd me but not these last couple of weeks.

Ok yesterday I woke up around 2:00 am and went to the bathroom and looked at my clock. Then when I woke up again around 8:00 my clock was blinking as if the power had gone out. I checked DH clock and it was fine. I came out into the kitchen (my coffee pot is on auto) but no coffee as that power had gone out also. I checked the oven clock and micowave and all was fine there. My computer was off, DH's was still on. Mine needed to be reset (I have a battery back-up on it) again due to a power outage. I checked everything in this house nothing else had gone out. Not DS's clock, not dad's clock, not DD TV nothing else that also goes out with a power outage. Just my clock, coffeemaker and my computer. None of which are tied in together in any way. Except they are all three of my routine things every morning. There has been no storm.

Now on to today. My DS and his GF come over every Saturday and take my dad to lunch. Today they were gone and I was in my bedroom and heard them come back. I heard 3 car doors slam one after another. And again the dog barked the same type bark (which is a good thing because I was getting to the point of calling a Neurologist thinking I was cracking up). I went to the garage opened the door to an empty driveway. there are only 4 houses here to date. I'm on 4 acres, my SIL bought the 2 acres next to mine which is not built on yet. I am not close to anyone we don't hear car doors or anything else for that matter. Plus these doors were loud and sounded like in my garage. After the fact I realized even louder then usual more like slamming.

So I am telling my DH and he tells me I sould have been in the shop with him the other day. He has a shop out back that is metal. There are no tree around it. And he says he hears something hitting the roof slow at first then harder and more. Even with the sun out he thinks "Is it raining?" So, he walks out and looks the noise again stops and of course it is not raining.

And my 13 yo DS hates his bathroom. It is a perfectly good bathroom. Decorated nicely in palms and ferns. Everything brand new. But he says it creeps him out. He hates to use it. And just about flat out refuses to shower in it he uses mine which doesn't creep him out. He says it's just a feeling he gets in there.

So ghostbusters there is the ghost story to date. I am open to all suggestions. Like I said it is getting stronger and driving me batty.

But I will end on the note I really don't have a fearful feeling of whatever it is. Not happy about it sharing my bed but no fear really at least not yet.

Right now sending hugs to Citruscitygal!

Right now, Lk, glad hubby didn't burn the kitchen down! And I'm wondering how aloe plants will make me less clumsy, lol.

Right now also, I want to finish the story from the stupid accident. We went to the party tonight, where mom, being supernurse takes one look at me and notices the bandage on my finger. She asks what happened and I tell her nothing. Darren, however, can't keep quiet and tells her the story. Before I know it, mom and a friend of ours who also happens to be a nurse at my doctors office, have me pinned to the table, rip off the bandage and both are examining my kitchen wound with penlights. They spent the next 20 minutes digging splinters out of my finger! When I pulled the damn thing out, and cleaned and bandaged my finger, I never thought about splinters, so I am glad they insisted on looking at it.

Right now I have to tell my tvch friends that I laugh at myself all the time. And I think I'll go start a thread, LOL.

Right now I'd suggest to Biloxebelle that she maybe do some research on the area and maybe just try what Sylvia Brown says to do. Too many bumps in the night for me.

Biloxibelle, You should go the the planning commission and find out what was on the land before you bought it. Go back as far as you can. It sounds as though you have spirits, which according to Sylvia are people who have died, gone to the other side, and come back. They supposedly are mischevious but will do no harm (even ghosts can do you no physical harm). Her advice is to tell them to leave, they are bothering you and it is your house now.

OK, everybody can start laughing at me now, but if you've ever watched Sylvia you would begin to wonder if all this is true or not, too.

Right now, I'm deciding what to do next!! I took dh to the Sam's club in the town northof here (we have one in town, but they sold out of the set I wanted for DD) I was upset when I looked at the furniture, but NONE in the boxes, all gone. Now we went to Wickes and priced the same style for over $1,000 for the 4 pieces (dresser, nightstand, mirror w/ a sweet catchall pop down thingy) and 4 poster bed (can be made into a canopy!) Sam's listed it at $641, and I've been dreaming of it for months...

Went to the service desk, tag in hand, looking pitiful... the manager gave me the set they had AT COST!! $500!!! DH went green trying to figure out how to haul it home in the van... we managed in 2 trips.

So now, I've been hauling and packing dd's stuff. Anybody know how to drywall? 3 years ago the squirells chewed a huge hole in her wall, we just boarded it up and put the bed next to it (and stuffed animals to cover the board!) and its a wallpapered room... can you say WORK!!

and I'll add I want a Biloxibelle thread too!! We've had ghosts, but I've just called a minister over to bless the house, and told the ghosts to go home... I love Sylvia Brown, James Van Prauge and Steve Edwards... and angels, and ghosts too!! :-)
