Me too! You should also check out the Hearst castle I think they are relatively close to each other.

Hearst Castle is about halfway between SF and LA, a good ways off of Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Highway).
I've seen it from the highway, but, have never been to it.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Um...why? So UGLY!

They're warm and waterproof. If you work outside during the winter they are awesome.

oh I dont mind fake haunted houses, but true ones.. dunno, really gets me.

Funny thing, usual horror with gore and that.. hardly scares me.
but ones that use imagination a lot.. they really get me.

I'm the opposite. I don't like the gore, but, LOVES me some spooky.
Although, in reality, I'm not much on believing in "ghosts", either. My son likes to watch those ghost shows.
It always cracks me up when they play back some audio with... "sskik" on it and then say... "Did you hear that?!?!?! He said to pack our stuff and get out, or face eminent death!!!!! "
Same with video and some random blip of light they try to pass off as some full-blown apparition.

Banish your smart phone and don't keep checking it

No Twerking while dancing, you might wind up on Facebook or YouTube the next day

No hitting on co-workers even if they are interested

Don't bail on a bar tab

Here are a couple from Austin that look like they'd make great Haunted Mansions...

I would love to take an inside tour of those home. i love looking at architecture of older homes. Oh so much detail. Was on a holiday home tour Sunday night that was from that era. Very nice.

They are still filming in front of the castle. Not having good luck, still a light rain...

I'm sure but they are still ugly.

I hate Will Ferell :\
Never found his "comedy" funny.

I can stand some. (The Lego Movie ) Not an Elf fan.

 

[seahawk7]

I dont. I just thought his face was funny so I posted it. I too don't find him funny most of the time and there is no way I will watch one of his movies with my kids. His humor is too sexual and raunchy. It makes me uncomfortable.

 

[seahawk7]

I would think that the bigger question is WHY would anyone want to watch that. Isn't the concept that watching someone get eaten by an anaconda would be something that someone would want to do, just a little scary to think about.

I agree. More importantly, why isn't someone stepping in to save him?

A ‘Seinfeld’ lover turned an unwanted TV into a fish tank replica of the sitcom set. The aquarium is home to five fishes, all of whom are named for ‘Seinfeld’ characters.

I love this! It would be funny if the had the door open so the fish could swim through like Kramer storming in on Jerry.

Well this is going to make the meth action figure seem like a mild outrage bringing Toys R Us to remove the toy.
Think if any country would be hypersensitive.

Despite the backlash Cobi Toys, Poland will not discontinue manufacturing and selling Nazi toy line for Christmas.

Speaking from Warsaw, Cobi Toys CEO Robert Podles insisted that keeping such dolls and games on shelves offered a 'fun' way for children to be taught history.

'We believe that through good fun we can teach history and we will continue this line in the future, he says.'

Think if any country would be hypersensitive.

I can't "like" this. I think one of the best ways to teach children about the hate and extremism of the Nazis is by reading to them or having them read The Diary of Anne Frank. I read it at a young age and it resonated for me. It didn't traumatized me but I understood how awful, I can't find the right words to describe the hate, it was. To give kids toys to play with won't teach them that and it might have them never understand the hate, fear, and disgusting acts.

My parents took us when we were kids. It was really interesting. I was scared of the indoor pool, the water was very dark.

I agree about liking the spooky. I work in hospitals and I can say that I don't meet many people who work with me who don't believe in ghosts. We also don't give much attention to them. We know what areas have more activity. Most of the time the energy is neutral, but I have heard stories about priests being called or crystals being hung.
At one hospital I work at sometimes I used to get really scared of one the rooms where we kept our ventilators. Well one night, we were incubating in the ER and I had to grab a vent. I walked into that room and just said out loud, "I don't have time for you sir."

The lego movie was decent. He wasn't his classic self in it.

I get that dread feeling easily with invisible things.
