Spider-Cabal

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on January 14, 2017 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 5, 2017

So last night, we got in bed and were reading, trying to relax after our incident with smacking into a deer on the way home. While ironically reading about prepping for various disasters and emergency situations, I felt a little tickle near my ribs. My first thought was that it might be a member of the arachnid species, but my mind immediately soothed, It could just be a wayward hair, or a cat’s tail, or Noodle’s whiskers.

Spider in my Car

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on June 12, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 6, 2013

My best friend called me not long ago, and in the middle of our conversation, she said, “Hang on, there’s a spider in my car and I have to pull over before I freak out.” She takes off her shoe to kill it and I warn her that shoes do not kill spiders. They have some kind of shield like on the Starship Enterprise, that engages.

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

I was having trouble remembering something, so I took my vitamins and then I remembered that I wanted to start taking my vitamins because I've been having trouble remembering things. Is this what it's like to get old?

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

Quotes for Writers

“All stories have to at least try to explain some small portion of the meaning of life. You can do that in 20 minutes, and 15 inches. I still remember a piece that the great Barry Bearak did in The Miami Herald some 30 years ago. It was a nothing story, really: Some high school kid was leading a campaign to ban books he found offensive from the school library. Bearak didn’t even have an interview with the kid, who was ducking him. The story was short, mostly about the issue. But Bearak had a fact that he withheld until the kicker. The fact put the whole story, subtly, in complete perspective. The kicker noted the true, wonderful fact that the kid was not in school that day because “his ulcer was acting up.” Meaning of life, 15 inches.”

If I saw that, I'd BUY THEM WHAT THEY NEEDED. for those who can't afford that, look the other way.

Jack Monroe@BootstrapCook

Your regular reminder that if you see someone stealing baby formula, nappies, bread, milk, pasta, ready meals, you didn’t see a fucking thing mind your own business and thank god you’re not so desperate for your own or your babies survival that you’d risk a criminal charge for it

Honestly…can we ban fireworks already? The general population can’t figure out a can opener and we’re going to let them have fireworks??? Make it make sense. https://twitter.com/kenolin1/status/1544727915241226240

Fox News continues to show why they are not "news". News professionals research stories before speaking.

Yes, the parents should be charged as accessories to the crime.

Don Lewis@DonLew87

Meet the Crimos. Son threatens to kill himself. Son threatens to kill his family. Son has 16 knives taken away. Father then sponsors son's application to buy guns. Son then murders 7 people at a 4th of July parade. Should the father bear criminal responsibility?
