Found a great way to communicate to E.T. it is called remote viewing. However there is danger with it. Other beings on this planet Dont like humans so try to keep the exploration on downlow. Experienced nasty serpent races on this planet that try to rule over us , even in the astral realms.

I brought her home tonight, which was when she realized just what a mess her bedroom is. Another TV crew was waiting and she let them in.

She ended up not staying there tonight after all.

That's a horrible thing. My paternal grandmother was murdered by a home invader in 1975, and they never found the perpetrator(s).

He tried to hold in a sneeze and ended up in the hospital on a feeding tube

Sneezing is an astoundingly powerful human action, blasting mucus and air from the nose and mouth at up to 100 miles per hour, according to the Cleveland Clinic. That power exists whether a sneeze is held in or not.

"Occasionally, people will cause some damage to their eardrums or their sinuses if they stifle a very violent sneeze," Rachel Szekely, an immunologist at Cleveland Clinic, said in an article urging people to sneeze freely and not to hold back posted on the health provider's website.

A healthy 34-year-old man living in the United Kingdom learned that the hard way, according to a case study published Monday in the British Medical Journal. His attempt to stifle a sneeze backfired, and the force of that would-be sneeze tore through the soft tissue in his throat, rupturing part of it.

I hope she recovers quickly, that the perpetrator can be arrested asap, that a solution can be found preventing any such situation from reoccuring, and that (dark humor warning) you soon both find more positive reasons for making the front page (an arrest of the intruder would be a good start) !

As a renowned "window shatterer" I've often been told off for being "too loud" when I sneeze - and have suffered the painful consequences of trying to hold them in, never to the extent of that poor guy. I've found a good thick pad of tissues can muffle the noise and placate the neighbours....

In the UK one of the biggest high street opticians is Specsavers, who's adverts feature people who cannot see clearly doing stupid things, using the line "should've gone to Specsavers".

That's a horrible thing. My paternal grandmother was murdered by a home invader in 1975, and they never found the perpetrator(s).

I must say, the police could have done a better job of notifying me. I was just getting home from work at 6:30 a.m. Just as I stuck the key in the lock, I heard a radio voice. My first thought was that I'd left the ham radio (which I use to listen to trains) on in the car, but I was sure I hadn't. Then a Naperville cop appeared and asked if I was David and if Kathy was my aunt, and if I knew her cell number. He said something happened with her but he didn't know any details and I should call this number, handing me his card with a phone number written on it. Of course my first thought was that they would only come in person if she was dead. I took the card inside, settled in, and called. It was the county sheriff's office (she lives in an unincorporated area). I said who I was and the woman who answered immediately knew what I wanted and again asked about the cell number, but said she couldn't tell me what was going on. She asked for my number and said she would have the deputy call me back. When he did, he said she was [lhyfkh]ed and in the hospital. I said repeat that. He said she was robbed. Oh, okay. [major relief that she wasn't killed, but still wondering how bad she was] I think he said something about investigating and securing the house, and did I have keys, and did I know her cell number? I looked in my contacts and gave it to him. Then I called the hospital. Patient Information transferred me to Emergency, who transferred me to the nurse's station, who transferred me to the nurse, who put me on hold while she went to ask if she could talk to me. Somehow, she then got a phone to my aunt, who told me what happened. Then I got a little sleep.

Trauma like that is really hard to shake. I remember in my grandmother's case, it was the first time I'd ever seen my dad cry, and I think it probably contributed to his own death of a heart attack a few years later.

Someone broke into her home in the middle of the day, raped her, stabbed her with a fireplace poker, and set the house on fire.

Snow Toyota Supra Fools Canadian Police

Montreal police probably rolled their eyes at the person who parked their snow-covered early ‘90s Toyota Supra right in a snow-removal lane, completely blocking in other parked cars. They went to ticket the car, and got to the point of lifting its very real windshield wiper when they realized, hey, this isn’t a snow-covered car—it’s a snow pile shaped like a car.
