1. Strange ..wow I am not sure how to define strange. lol. I have had experiences with spirits that have not "moved on". The stories might scare ya and then again you might be amazed.

2. I would live in Colorado or Arizona.

3. I have been diagnosed with fibro for around 10 or 12 years. Cant remember..lol. I am on disabilityu for chronic back pain. The condition is inopreable. The Dr.s can just try to make me comfortable. lol

4. late morning. Meds are working and I feel that I can get out for a while for shopping for a little while but I cnat stay on my feet long due to the pain returning. Be-cause I live in a state with so much climate differential I dont really have a favorite with my condition. It is just a " one day at a time" kind of life for me.

5. I think my favorite bird is the American Bald Eagle.

Hi Harmony. I dont call them "ghost stories" lol. They are true!,lol. I call them personal experiences. I have learned that people that say there is "No such thing" or say its a lie are just not willing to accept the possibilities that there are unexplained facts or other demensions. Not really sure how to explain that one. My Mother has had several experiences with Dad who passed away in Oct ,2000. Dad worked 2nd shift and usually got home shortly after 12 midnight. Mom says she always triples locks the doors because she lives alone now. But she says she can hear the backdoor unlock like it did when Dad use to come home from work. She hears him shuffle down the hall like only Dad could do. Mom then says she wont open her eyes(tell ya why in a minute) but can feel Dads' presence. He will move around the foot of the bed and she can feel the cover move and then feel a cold kiss nd reach behind her to feel a place as cold as ice.

Mom has seen Dad several times since his passing and says she can see him leaning against the dresser while she is in bed and says he will "float over to her" and lean over to kiss her. When he kisses her cheek, she can feel the cold and open her eyes only to find him gone. Thats what hurts her most.

That is one story. My mother is not crazy and has never had a record of any mental condition of anykind. Why would a 70 year old woman want to lie about something like that??

that question has a million answers! lmbo....I have stuck my foot in my mouth so many times and too many different reasons. Trying to think....Once when I was working in the hospital I had my scrub coat on and it has snap front. Well. I walked into the kitchen and reached to upsnap my scrub coat and it was my work shirt. I was thankful that no one saw me but the other cook!!! I would of never lived that one down if they had..lol. She almost died laughing, I did too after the initial shock wore off!!! My life is full of crazy things like that...lol
