black friday

Now i know why i don't normally shop on black Friday. i went to Bass Pro Shop this morning to purchase some jeans ( reg. 19.99) on sale for 9.95. Gess the people were rude . They grabbed jeans off the tables. i did manage to find the sizes i needed. the rest of the store was pure chaos.
Earlier that day i had taken my spouse to work . ( 4:30 am start time) we arrived at tad after 4 . driving past the circuit city we saw near or over 100 people already in line . here they had extra people to help control the crowd. i did see in the store as we drove past. They had 4 clerks behind the check out machines ,they looked totally scared.
how sad .

Good Evening Good Evening

Hi
what a time i have had. advances on several fronts.
First . our home has a White Fronted Amazon named Bootsey. She is a rehome from a lady that didnt have enough time for her ( Thank You Lady) we are Bootesys forever home now.
now in the evening at about 6 or 7 cst / she yells to come out and sit with me. this evening she sat on my shoulder while i typed on the computer. we have had her for about 4 mths now. These wonderful birds can live to be about 45 or even 50.
next our group is getting ready to do an investigation this coming nov21st. This will be our newest members first time to do an investigation.
The Election is now over and we can turn our Tv's on during the news hour without seeing and hearing only political rumblings. ( i loved the results ) but i got so tired of hearing near everyone lie and tear other apart.
lastly for now. Love those team members who are we . Not only are they good people they are also friends . we are tied together by a common bond , one that isnt shared by many.
God Bless Us All

being polite and having patience paid off

Hi . i was raised to have manners and be patient. well ladies and gentlemen it has paid off in a big way.
It took about 7 mths but i have what is listed below. One of my hobby's is old plans for abandoned buildings. This latest addition is so cool and will be held close as my personal possession.
Have a Blessed Weekend and never ever doubt yourself and what you can do.

Good Afternoon fellow ghosty hunters! i have in my possession( legally of course) a set of Waverly floor plans for the 1st, 3rd and 5th floors . they aren't just any plans taken off of the Internet . these are architects plans . and there were those who didn't think i could get it done! . no one on here though you all are terrific . anyone that goes to Waverly will get a chance to see them and look at them anytime they want to during the investigation . of course . we can even use them to keep track of who is where on those floors.

investigation tune up

Good Evening All a couple of random thoughts. Do you any of you have something you do before investigations to get you ready both mentally and physically? during the week ) i play an internet game called cradle of Rome. i do this at times before but increase it slightly the week before the investigation. it occupies hearing , sight and touch. it improves the ability to filter out interference( noise or what is going on in our lives) in order to see what is really there( IE matches)each time i play i strive to improve the times to move to each level. sometimes i do sometimes i don't . another game that improves sight concentration while using ones hands is pin ball. ( not that any of us have a pin ball machine ;)You learn to tune all outside interference to see what is really going on in front of you. You look, feel and listen to ball and game in front of you . i played a game at Walt Disney world one time that went on for oh i would say close to 2 hours . i ended up with the most play overs on that machine . i was concentrating so hard on what was in front of me that when the game ended . i looked up and saw the crowd that had gathered . ( maybe 10 people ) i had no idea they were there. My point is that to cultivate this kind of concentration helps us pay attention to the area in front of us while tuning out the noises etc from the outside. increased concentration or the ability to pay attention and compare details across time lines , also helps me in my research when i jump from one era to another and back again. Hope this isn't totally incomprehensible . see ya Cherie

Good Evening
We needed rain and now we have it. getting a tad damp around here but i am not going to complain. several summers ago we had a drought . that was so sad. becuase i am retired zoo keep in addition to a paranormal researcher/hunter. i found myself feeding the geese at the local pond . making sure they had the correct food. ( this was done either early in the morning or later at night) .
one of my fav seasons is just around the corner . its fall . and with that season we get HALLOWEEN!! .
at our house we decorate big time for all the hollidays. or Halloweens we do spider webs, with ghost and witches. along with a body or two in the bushes.
sometimes paranormal groups get a rash of poeple wanting to join( oct is really bad)
Vinny will let us know how we are going to handle this.
every one have a wonderful fall.

quiet

Hi
Do you ever wonder if everyone in your world is okay?
Silence is indeed golden . especially when one hears as well as i do. But But. not when one wonders of everyone is okay .
We need some rain around this part of the world. dry but at least it cools off most nights .
Okay thats enough ranting for now .
everyone have a great week .

First investigation

WOW ! . the investigation was so exciting . i loved working with the other team members . The learning experience was neat. The evening went quickly . Results are yet to be determined by review. Iam so ready for the next time.
All were completely professional.

Ghost Shoves People

Hi everyone. every been shoved by a ghost in a cave no less? I have! happened last sat June the 21first.
My son and i were in Colorado springs visiting my mom . we had some extra time on sat so we went to cave of the winds.
being as he is older we elected to take the lantern tour. That means you have a hand held lantern that runs on a kerosene light wick.
The tour started at 1 pm . in the section of the caves our tour went to , there are no electric lights. You have your lantern in addition the tour guide has a large flash light. to get the unlightened portion of the caves you have to pass through the lightened venues. Just before you go in the guide tells you about 2 ghosts that are rumored to haunt the unlighted caves.
i noticed one man seemed to get kind of grin on his face ( as though he might be up to mischief) at this point i resolved to have no one behind me . he resisted but i insisted. ( one thing i cant stand is when people fake paranormal experiences) in other words no one was ever behind me the entire time we were in the unlighted caves.
At one point the cave narrows to about 42 inches high and maybe slightly over 2 and 1/2 feet wide. The rest of the group had gone a bit a head ( i was lone) as i picked up my pace i was shoved to the floor of the cave by s0mething unseen. ended up with a skinned knee and dirt in my new video camera . picked myself up and caught up with the group.
I took the tour guide aside and told him what had transpired .( i asked he not tell the group what happened to me ) He smiled and said now i will tell you about the 3rd ghost that inhabits these caves . He did tell the rest of the group about the 3rd ghost though a this time .
seems the 3rd ghost is a native american that is angry about the way some native american remains were treated Long ago . He comes up behind people and Shoves them to the Ground.
This Ghost doesn't care if you are respectful or not .
That's okay . i would walk those caves again and maybe the ghost would talk to me this time instead of shoving.

Helllooooooooooo
