Essex Mountain vs The Twighlight Manor

THEY TORE DOWN ESSEX MOUNTAIN SANATORIUM!!!!!!!! my favorite house!!!!! HOW COULD THEY??????? My new goal: rebuild a life-size replica of it in all it's bloody glory now all I need is about 10 billion dollars to fund the project before you ask, for those who don't know... it was in New Jersey.... they torn it down in 2002, but I just found out about it this morning <<<------- points to 1937 picture Okay, explaination: I started writing the Twighlight Manor series in 1978... it follows the multi-generational lives of the Swanzen family who built The Twighlight Manor, originally a "palace" for a murerous renegade king, than inherited from him to his phsychotic nephew, Sir Roderic, who himself believed that house to be alive and says it eats people... the guy is insane so most people don't take him seriously when he tells them not to enter his house cause it'll eat you, but than no one can explain the dead bodies that show upin the hallways, or the co

WelcomeTo the Padded Cell...

So, how's my fellow cell-mates doing today? {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{huggles for all}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} It's such a beautiful sunny morning, on this cold Maine day. eeek! I'm up in the daylight! I can see the sun... get me some dark glasses! Quick, pull the shades! where's my coffin? help the sun light is after me!!!!! runs to find a dark dungeon to hide in---->> Hello???

Why are all the doctors dead? ...and who was it they had locked away in the Padded Cell?

Home Business Start Up Plans; Current mood: cheerful

Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes Today I'm reading a book called "Make Your Creative Dreams Real" and another called "A Shop of One's Own". I figure how am I ever gonna get started at opening myown retail store, if I just keep saying I'm gonna do it, but than never even read up on what I want to do? Well, it's a start, at least. I'm half-way through "A Shop of One's Own" now... interesting and very inspiring, it's about all these women who threw caution to the wind and set out to start their own retail business... I was surprised, a few places, like The Barefoot Contesesa, are quite famous, but they got their start as a one woman operation! Thee is lots of info on how to get started... each chapter focuses on what they did and how they did it, and what failed vs what succeeded. I have found this book very helpful... must go write it a review on Amazon now.

Out of The Tent!

We have been approved for an apartment by HUD, FINALLY!!!!! We have been living in a tent since May 2006, it took them until January 2007 to get us indoors again, and only because someone called DHS to complain that people should not be living in a tent in below zero temperatures... well, I agree, but since the flood/fire we had no choice, I don't make enough money to pay rent, let alone build a new house, no family or friends would help us and of all the charities and churches and such (even Red Cross!) the only place that has done anything to help us since last May was the Salvation Army, who gave us a bag of food each month.... a bag of food a month, can't feed a family of 5, nor does it help us get indoors again, what else was we supposed to do? The tent was our only option. Well, DHS was furious that even our town manager (who we also went to for help) had done nothing, so now DHS is on the asses of the Town officials from Old Orchard Beach, because they are the ones that
