I've been a long time listener to this channel as well as Mr Creeps, and have been listening to this one ever since paws and princess. Stephen even wrote the origin story for Mr Creeps.

[@oldcollegecoed]

You know that feeling you get when out-of-the-blue your senses go into high alert, and you experience a deep feeling of dread? I get that feeling when I’m outside here in the Midwest and realize the air around me has suddenly become still and quiet…no birds singing, no insects buzzing, no gentle breeze, nothing. And then I notice that the sky has darkened and now has that ominous greenish undertone which always unnerves me no matter how often I see it. Even before I see the storm bearing down on me or hear the sirens wailing, I’m feeling anxious and queasy, with a slight sense of fear and but also a bizarre twinge of excitement. When you took us under that train trestle and into that open field with its dark purple sky & black rolling clouds, my brain took me right into “Tornado Alley Life” mode, and then I found myself thinking, “Oh Jesus…I really hope this isn’t where all those missing in national parks end up!” I can’t remember the last time I experienced such a visceral response to any narrative! That’s just how good you are! 💞

[@jayy2949]

Oh my goodness we're thinking about up and moving to Oklahoma back where our reservation is but it's been since I was a small child since I've been there and I am scared to death of tornadoes and I just if anything would want to ask how often a year do you have to deal with it?

@@jayy2949 Hun, the weather patterns have changed so dramatically over the past 20 years, we don’t seem to get as many as we used to, but honestly, OK still gets slammed around the OKC area. They’ve had some of the worst tornados in recent history; Moore had an EF5 in 1999, an EF4 in 2003 and an EF5 in 2013, El Reno had an EF5 in 2011 and 2013.

So your neighbor cut himself while slashing your tire? Good thing you have stupid neighbor I mean that doesn't make a tire cost any less but now getting your payback financially for it will be a lot easier and I have to ask what is the story behind random neighbors slashing your tire? This reminds me of that storyline of a few seasons of something about crazy neighbors that aired on investigation Discovery and there were usually clear-cut crazy folk and clear-cut not crazy folk and it's so scary I bet if you're a homeowner especially because I don't own my home refused to I just rents where I live and I know the crazies where I live and it's my location it's the heroin fentanyl homeless capital of my state but we are not a heavily populated state in my opinion so there is that.

I can sympathise with the fake person in the fake story about wanting a job since they can remember and striving for it their whole lives! I have ALWAYS wanted to be a vet nurse since before I can remember. I worked for 21 years to get all the qualifications I needed before I could study my certification 4 in vet nursing. After 5 years of applying to work in vet clinics in my city I FINALLY got accepted for a full time job a few days ago and they’re paying me for my studies to become a vet nurse 🥹 I did it 🥰 (Here in South Australia it’s become almost impossible to get into the course and to get into a clinic because they’re so short staffed that they can’t afford to take on trainees so I was blessed with this opportunity). Never give up on your dreams, if you work hard enough you’ll achieve it eventually!

If you could even give me just random topics you like to paint and stuff that you specifically find enjoyable about painting then I would send you a big old heart and a bunch of emojis and online coupon if you ever come to Eugene Oregon and come to the Eugene Saturday market which is the largest running open-air artisan market in the nation now 54 years running as of this Saturday April 1 when we open! If you answer my questions I will give you 10% the only fun weird thing about it is you do not know what I sell but my prices are not high and I think that if you're into art you would like my stuff my other stuff and I'm not saying about my painting stuff cuz obviously I'm like kindergartener when it comes to it but anyways super long message just ask those few questions
