Whether you have dozens of party pals (that’s a thing, right?), a few close buddies, or a printout of your favorite fictional character attached to a teddy bear with safety pins, you probably place a high value on your time with friends.
Sometimes, your friends will cut into your writing time….

After succumbing to a fever of some sort in 1705, Irish woman Margorie McCall was hastily buried to prevent the spread of whatever had done her in. Margorie was buried with a valuable ring, which her husband had been unable to remove due to swelling. This made her an even better target for body snatchers, who could cash in on both the corpse and the ring.
The evening after Margorie was buried, before the soil had even settled, the grave-robbers showed up and started digging. Unable to pry the ring off the finger, they decided to cut the finger off. As soon as blood was drawn, Margorie awoke from her coma, sat straight up and screamed.
The fate of the grave-robbers remains unknown. One story says the men dropped dead on the spot, while another claims they fled and never returned to their chosen profession.
Margorie climbed out of the hole and made her way back to her home.
Her husband John, a doctor, was at home with the children when he heard a knock at the door. He told the children, “If your mother were still alive, I’d swear that was her knock.”
When he opened the door to find his wife standing there, dressed in her burial clothes, blood dripping from her finger but very much alive, he dropped dead to the floor. He was buried in the plot Margorie had vacated.
Margorie went on to re-marry and have several children. When she did finally die, she was returned to Shankill Cemetery in Lurgan, Ireland, where her gravestone still stands. It bears the inscription “Lived Once, Buried Twice.”

I was teaching to my grandchildren how to make a cake. In fact, I’m not good at cooking, but I wanted them to impress how good grandmother I am. It was the first time to use this machine, so I didn’t know how to use it and the cream burst.
this post is too good for this world

I love this so fucking much.
I personally think the way that the parent handled this isn’t very mature but you know. Whatever…
How was it handled immaturely? He bullies her. She is in no state to be doing P.E and whenever Mum excuses my sister, he has a go at her and embarrasses her in front of everyone. So, no, it was NOT handled immaturely because we’re sick of the way the school handles everything. Thank you.

Five Reasons to Vote Out Virginia Rep Eric Cantor
1- He is anti-Worker.
- Voted No to raising the national minimum wage
- Wants to end overtime pay for hourly workers
- Wouldn’t allow vote (or even a debate) on jobs bill
2- He is anti-American.
- He puts politics before country
- Would rather America suffer than give Obama a political win
- He proudly takes credit for the Sequester
3- He is anti-Woman.
- Voted to restrict women’s access to abortion
- Voted against the Fair Pay act & Employment descrimination act
- Violence Against Women Act
4- He is anti-Morality.
- While claiming a moral high ground as his main reasoning for being anti-choice, morality doesn’t seem to play a roll in any of his other decisions. He admits he was driving force behind the sequester which put furloughs on almost 90,000 jobs in his home state of Virginia alone. Nothing says morality like putting people out of work over a political agenda.
- Voted No on Iraq troop withdrawal, continuing unemployment benefits and the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act
5- Eric Cantor isn’t a racist but…
- Key issue with VAWA: Protects Native women
- Proud supporter of Redmap: Targeting Black voters
- Voted No on the Housing Foreclosure Assistance Program for those who were unlawfully targeted with sub-prime loans: Biggest effect on Black and Latino citizens.
- During the last election between Rep Cantor and Wayne Powell, N*gger Lover was spray painted on one of Powell’s offices. Cantor didn’t see any reason to speak out against the actions.

Let the record show that you can be a United States senator for 21 years. You can be 79 years old. You can be the chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and one of the most recognizable and widely-respected veteran public servants in your nation. But if you are female while all of those things, men who you defeat in arguments will still respond to you by calling you hysterical and telling you to calm down. They’ll patronize you and say they admire your passion, ‘sweetie,’ but they deal in facts, not your silly, girly feelings. It’s inescapable. You can set your watch by it.
