About That Forced Hiatus
So it seems I am locked out of LadyKrampus if I use Firefox.
I can log in using Opera or Chrome, but not on DESKTOP firefox. On mobile I can log in using the FF App.
I don’t fucking get it.
Personal Post: 2 Weeks Notice
I've been given two weeks notice to pack up and clear out of the place we're renting.
This is actually a good thing. - a bit sooner than we thought (we were thinking mid-to-late July) but the next tenants have already put a deposit on the place I currently live in so it's GET YER SHIT time.
By the skid-marks in a homeless man's underwear I have a lot of shit. Yes, it's mostly reference books but THOSE THINGS ARE HEAVY DAMN IT. ESPECIALLY IN BOXES!
I'll be on as often as I can until the moment the computer is unplugged and that'll be the very LAST thing to go. Trust me. Mama-Wolf quadruple checking everything for the 9th time this hour and photocopy ALL THE MAPS AND PAPERWORK. Yeah. I'll be able to get on.
Then it'll be 3 days of shitty hotel wifi cause we're driving from Alabama to California.
THESE ARE NOT STOCK PHOTOS AND YOU CANNOT USE OR REPOST THEM.
My Grandmother, and the woman I'm named after, on her wedding day. December 30th 1950
No I did not separate the glue. It wore out all on it's own after being in an extremely dry climate for the last 20 years. The photo is still miraculously firmly affixed to the folder.
Really Christians. You want me to take you seriously and this is how you behave?
So I've been on tumblr for a couple years now even though I freely admit I was "late to the party". I've only had maybe 2 or 3 of those virus accounts / videos in the inbox in the entirety of my Tumblr time. All of a sudden I'm getting between 4 and 9 a day starting the day after I posted my response to why the Bible is not applicable to historic or folkloric research.
Oh Shit. She's one of them heathen non-believers! We must get her off the internet!
What's funny is that I actually do find certain aspects of Christianity interesting, worth study and discussion. To those who are calm, sane and know how to hold a conversation as adults, Forgive me for what I am about to do.
And Please. Stop Now.
...
...
If you want to attack me why not attack me for something serious instead of a request to show your work?
Go eat a bowl of Christ Chex. Here. I'll make it for you:
Because Folklorists Are Nuts
It has 1 post.
Until today...
I found the print-out of my log in info. Remember when PRINT THIS OUT OR YOU'RE FOREVER SCREWED was on literally every confirmation email sent?
A slice of my personal Family Tree.
Margaret O Haver when she was a child and as an adult.
NOTE: Picture #2 and #5 is the same picture, clearly. It's posted twice for a very interesting reason.
#2 is a SCAN.
#5 is a photo of a photo
When I digitized it, the scan came out funky due to the residue of the development process when the photograph was FIRST DEVELOPED.
Picture #1 is a raw scan of the reverse of that picture.
Pictures 3 and 4 are photos of photos due to the fact that the frame is sealed.

Hello Cousin. Have a Picture of Margret circa 1890. Margret was Mum to Eleanore:

((fake as shit vintage ad for how to use tampons))
Mama-Wolf: "I remember those commercials"
((fake as shit vintage ad for Trout scented feminine douche))
Mama-Wolf: "OMG"
((We own more Oil, Land, Wealth than all the governments combined We are THE CATHOLIC CHURCH))
Mama-Wolf: *too busy laughing to comment*
((Mannies Nymphs))
Mama-Wolf: "I would have loved for that show to be real."
((Do you know me? American Excess))
Mama-Wolf: O.O
((Big Oil "We thought you ought to know"))
Mama-Wolf: "that's wrong"
((Old Man Lucas had a lot of Mucus))
Mama-Wolf: "what the fuck was that?"
((Hitler's is it Real or is it Magnavox?))
Mama-Wolf: "Turn this shit off."
So the copy I ordered of The Encyclopedia of Vampires and Werewolves (2nd edition to pair with my orig.) by Mary Guiley arrived today....
That it's a former library copy doesn't bother me.
That the previous owner ripped the cover and title page trying to get the old library stickers off kind of pisses me off.
THAT THE FORMER OWNER WAS A TWI-SHIT FAN AND WROTE ALL OVER IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF.
We're going to be dealing with the twilight fall-out for decades.
At least Buffy fans were not obnoxious twats and were too terrified of disappointing Giles to dare to write in a book.

Haunting of the Week: The Bell Witch
The Bell Witch or Bell Witch Haunting is a purported poltergeist legend from Southern folklore, centered on the 19th century Bell family of Adams, Tennessee.
The only known account of the “haunting” prior to Ingram’s publication, was in 1886, (over 60 years after the events). This one paragraph in the Goodspeed Brothers book History of Tennessee:
A remarkable occurrence, which attracted wide-spread interest, was connected with the family of John Bell, who settled near what is now Adams Station about 1804. So great was the excitement that people came from hundreds of miles around to witness the manifestations of what was popularly known as the “Bell Witch.”
This witch was supposed to be some spiritual being having the voice and attributes of a woman. It was invisible to the eye, yet it would hold conversation and even shake hands with certain individuals. The feats it performed were wonderful and seemingly designed to annoy the family. It would take the sugar from the bowls, spill the milk, take the quilts from the beds, slap and pinch the children, and then laugh at the discomfiture of its victims. At first it was supposed to be a good spirit, but its subsequent acts, together with the curses with which it supplemented its remarks, proved the contrary.
Several accounts report that during his military career, Andrew Jackson was intrigued with the story and was frightened away after traveling to investigate.
PERSONAL NOTE:
I've been to the Bell Witch Cave and Tour.
If you want to go, go... but don't expect anything less that a half-assed tourist trap.
From a semi-professional tourist-trap crawler:
It's a fucking health hazard. The number of obvious hornets nests alone will terrify you if the 3-4 foot long nest stuck to the side of the "museum" isn't enough.
You can't even get to the Bell Property (It's still owned by a member of the Bell Family) and the cave is prone to flooding so chances are you wont even be able to get it. - And there's a rock that they like to pass off as haunted by the witch. They call it the "face of the witch".
Here's the photo I took of the "Haunted Rock"
Don't steal my pic or the witch will kill you.
By the way, that is their favorite way of shutting up people who ask questions. DONT OR THE WITCH WILL GET YOU.
You guys are welcome, however, to see the rest of the pics I took.

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 6 times.
The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis!
Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis
You approach Satan's wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of Hell.

I am more amused by the fact that two of the famous "ISTJ" people were psychotic US Presidents.
I dont know if I should be angry or upset right now.
Earlier in the day I picked up my Mum from the doc's office. I shoved it to the back of my mind cause I just can't find a way to deal with this.
What kind of Doctor tells someone the lumps are "likely" cancer then sends her home?
It's just... I know treatments have improved, I know the fight can be won, I just.... I can't stop thinking about the last time I saw my Grandmother. She was the strongest person I have ever met, male or female. I am named after her. She had the greatest impact on who I am today. Even though she died when I was seven and she was first diagnosed in the 1950's - dying in 1992 - I remember seeing Epic Gran, who once made the cops cry, this force of nature, lying in her bed covered in tubes too weak to even say hello. I remember it as if it happened yesterday.
My family prides itself on our personal strength. You don't ask for help, you don't show pain, you don't panic, you don't cry, you figure it out. If you fuck up, you take a step back for a moment then you do it the right way. It's sort of an unspoken rule. It's not a tradition to tell the kids that. We don't say things like tough it out or get over it. I honestly cannot remember a single instance where I, my siblings or any of our cousins were told that. But the example was always there. Respect is seemingly judged by your inner strength.
That kicked in fast.
It got real quiet for half a moment when my Mum said that the Doc told her it was "likely" cancer. Then she said she needed to go to Wall-mart and not another word about the Doc, or her for the entire day. I know my brother is just as freaked out as I am, but he's my brother and he's not going to show it, neither will she and to be honest, I'm sure I can talk about this with either of them, so I'll buck up as well.
childhood friend of mine posted that meme-pic of how everyone she knows is having kids, married, worried about the house and car and how awkward it it she's the only one she knows who's not done any of that
--- she's married with 3 kids.
*right in the feels*
So my oldest nephew has moved out of home, has his own place and a job. He's just now coming to terms with the phrase "you can never go home again because what has changed is you" and is writing his experiences with it all out on his facebook page.
I just wish I could magically make it all ok for him.
Say hello to the side Tumblr I set up while I was locked out.
I'm thinking I'll stash my fan fics there. Right now it has a very rough preview of an AL:VH fic I am working on, focusing on the Movie!Verse Adam and how he was turned.
