Weird!

Oh crap. You know what this means?

The Leaderboard thread is actually turning into the Twilight Zone!

Actually, it was the Twilight Zone ALL ALONG...but you know, it always took those people a while to realize what had befallen them, and by then...

It was too late.

I've got 10 more essays to go. I do them 5 at a time and then let myself postwhore for a little while.

Here's one of my mom and dad on their wedding day. Dad had an...umm..."interesting" sense of humor (which all 5 of his children inherited).

The picture was taken at 5 p.m.; they got married at about 6 p.m that day.

The writing underneath (my dad's writing) says:
Mr. Burke
Miss McElroy
Approximately 5 p.m. Saturday

"We could afford to be happy at 5:00!" :lol:

I've noticed new posts show up as being on one page, when they are actually on the next. A refresh fixes that.
I deleted a few of my less mainstream posts - I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

Okay, that's WEIRD. That post, 5447, JUST NOW finally showed up in my feed!! It was NOT there before! I did remember the photo from where you posted it, earlier in this thread I think? but the new one just showed up.

A picture of my mom and dad on their 50th wedding anniversary, in 2001. Mom is feeding my dad a cherry.

This was, no kidding, the FIRST cherry my father had eaten in over 50 years! Why?

Because on one of their first dates, they shared an ice cream sundae. My mom--who loves cherries more than just about anything--set the cherry aside to save it for last. About halfway through the sundae, Dad picked up the cherry and popped it in his mouth.

My mother bawled, and my father never, ever ate a cherry again until this photo^. He always gave them to my mother.

Yeah, I was posting a lot while she was posting, and I think somehow it just got stuck in the wrong place for a bit.

Yep, sometimes when I post something before I'm at the end of the thread, it sort of skips ahead and I have to refresh or click on the page number again to get the posts in sequential order again.

I've gotten used to The Change but it's still weird.

I wish I had a copy of the letter I got Dad to write for a scrapbook I made them on their 50th. Next time I'm at Mom's I'll have to get that scrapbook and scan both of their letters.

But in Dad's, it refers to that incident and then says something to the effect of "that's when I knew that I wanted to love her and take care of her for the rest of my life."
