I wonder if she remembers she's a nearly indestructible super-weapon? Nope!

Could be an expensive (and undesirably spectacular) way to deal with mice...

So what is the over/under on the number of new "doors and windows"?
I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.

I can sympathize with the Pickle on this one. First time i saw The Exorcist on the big screen i was jumpy for weeks. In my defense i was a teen at the time.
Dear, don’t bore him with trivia or burden him with your past mistakes. The happiest way to deal with a man is never to tell him anything he does not need to know. L. Long

First time I saw The Exorcist... No, wait: I never saw The Exorcist, because I don't bother with that kind of movies...

Hah!, me too. I've since gotten away from scary movies, esp the slasher genre. (I pretty much quit after 'Halloween', a Classic...).
That said, we all know who just made That Noise...

Jaws counts as a horror movie??? I might have said "thriller", but not horror...jwhouk wrote:'Twas Jaws for me.

When you're eight, the sight of a huge great white shark jumping out of the water is pretty darn scary.

I don't recall ever finding the "horror" part of any horror movie anything but boring.

Good thing this takes place in Minnesota instead of Illinois. In Illinois, leaving a child under the age of 14 home alone is a crime.
Specifically:
Specifically:
Juvenile Court Act, 705 ILCS 405/2-3(1)(d)Illinois law defines a neglected minor, in part, as "any minor under the age of 14 years whose parent or other person responsible for the minor's welfare leaves the minor without supervision for an unreasonable period of time without regard for the mental or physical health, safety or welfare of that minor."

Do they define "unreasonable period of time"?Thor wrote:Good thing this takes place in Minnesota instead of Illinois. In Illinois, leaving a child under the age of 14 home alone is a crime.

For a 12-year-old with a phone and a parent's number, whether I would consider overnight unreasonable would very much depend on the kid in question.
Besides, it seems there has been a miscommunication. According to the tag on the previous page, Mom and her S.O the school principal are elsewhere in the same building. Castela thinks they are elsewhere. And the noise that startled her... might be them.
edit: corrected "previous home".

Yeah, vaporizing the principal does not look good on the permanent record.Warrl wrote:According to the tag on the previous home, Mom and her S.O the school principal are elsewhere in the same building. Castela thinks they are elsewhere. And the noise that startled her... might be them.
Re: Home Alone 2017-08-11
That's exactly why Bryn and those like her are under strict orders to stay out of the school's chem lab. Some para students are extremely literal-minded and simply aren't aware that the phrase "distillation of knowledge" is just a metaphor.AmriloJim wrote:Yeah, vaporizing the principal does not look good on the permanent record.

... and then Pablo goes and schedules a Monday pin-up, leaving us hanging from a cliff for an extra day.
I could swear I hear him all the way from the left coast.
