Thanks, VickieJean ...
I used to do a monthly summary, actually. But that started to seem a tad cheesy.

Ironically, Aaron, we rarely utter immature insults around here.
Instead, preferring more dignified discourse, such as "Get bent."

I suspect my mother will be watching us like a hawk. Or, in this case, like a vulture.

Whilst the camera falling may seem like a perfectly
logical explanation, is it not possible that the spooks dropped it? After the guy from Radio Shack did say that a kid could install it.....
I'd be careful when cleaning if I were you.

Oh, so you didn't need to use Michelle as a sacrifice to
appease the ghosties, after all. Probably just as well, I suppose, since you and Pavel would still have to coordinate a unified cover story... and I'm not so sure the two of you could handle that.

That was funny. Sorry about your ruined weekend. Perhaps you might find an antique and stash it away for yourself. Lol.

These should explain what the cameras are for:

Yeah, she's here so much, Cesium, that she's practically become a member of the family.
At one point, I actually feared she was trying to replace me.

For some reason
Certain men think this is impressive. I guess that is supposed to imply they are well endowed. I simply take it as flexible and while he might make a good gymnast, it still does little for me LOL!

.....wellllllll.......they used to walk around in my room at night, i.e., very distinctive footsteps and floor creaking in my otherwise empty room, come over and sit down on my bed (meaning you could feel the mattress sinking when they sat) and on those horrible, rare occasions, touch me (no, not in that way) - other than that there were any number of other occurrences.....do you really want more?
