I'm in Heaven

I love ebay (since 1996) and I am quite the CSI fan. Here is a melding of two of my favorite things.

the childhood beliefs site - I Used To Believe

My new favorite daily visited site! This is a place where anyone can post beliefs they had as a child, the reason they thought it...whatever. It is quite hilarious, and it's astounding how many of us have the same beliefs for whatever reason.

"When I was quite young, I saw an Alfred Hitchcock tv show that had these two brothers killing their aunt to get her money by grinding up glass and putting it in her food. After that, whenever my mom made soft boiled eggs for me and I found a small piece of shell in it, I thought it was glass and that she was trying to kill me."

This is my own latest entry. Check it out, if for no other reason than to feel a bit more normal...or at least not alone in your personal craziness!

Blogger Bar :: Firefox Add-ons

I am a true Firefox aficionado. All these add-ons! So much to see and do!! How did I survive without the internet?? I have been online since 1983, when the only thing I knew about was Compuserve. I ran up a heck of a phone bill in those days!!! Also met my ex-husband back then. Don't really recommend that, but I do have a lovely 22 year old daughter from the experience, so it worked out!

I LOVE The Haunted Mansion!!

I absolutely love the Haunted Mansion, both at Florida and California. It was the very first Haunted House I was ever in that lived up to my expectations and it still does. I would go on repeatedly. My very favorite part is the Grim Grinning Ghosts. Even knowing the technology, I am fascinated by them and nuts about the song, too!! Here are the lyrics, courtesy of About.com.

Music by Buddy Baker and lyrics by F. Xavier Atencio

When the crypt goes creak,
And the tombstones quake.
Spooks come out for a swinging wake.
Happy haunts materialize,
And begin to vocalize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

Now don't close your eyes,
And don't try to hide.
Or a silly spook may sit by your side.
Shrouded in a daft disguise,
They pretend to terrorize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree,
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree.
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes,
Start to shriek and harmonize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

When you hear the knell of a requiem bell,
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell.
Restless bones etherialize,
Rise as spooks of every size.

If you would like to join our jamboree,
There's a simple rule that's compulsory.
Mortals pay a token fee.
Rest in peace, the haunting's free.
So hurry back, we would like your company.

The Rainbow Connection

The Real Watership Down from Richard Adams' book.

Hurry to Watership Down

I have loved Watership Down, the book, the movie, all of it, for years. I have the entire collection of figurines, the plates, a film cel of Hazel and many versions of the book. This site is a pictorial journey through the area of Watership Down and is just as I had long expected it to be. I may never get there in real life, but I go there often via this site.

Thank you Chris Boyce for all your efforts.

I love books and have done, since I was a wee lassie. This wonderful site has a map of England, with stars showing the location of various children's books and links to all sort of information. Absolutely worth checking out! The whole thing is an interactive book with pages you turn. Nicely done!
