He's Back and a Pain

[dusty]

Last Wednesday afternoon I took a shower, washed my long hair (to my waist) and went about my business of making dinner. At 8 o'clock pm I went into the bathroom and all was fine. I watched tv for awhile and headed for bed a 1 am.
As I walked down the hall towards the bathroom, I could hear running water and I started to pray the guy above me (Mike) hadn't broken a pipe. Or worse yet, my bath hadn't. When I got in there no water from above but my shower head was facing down on the stool I use for my soaps and it was running, not hard but enough to fill the shower pan. I had just been in there at 8 pm, I live alone, and the shower stall and hoses etc are all new 3 months ago. The water had spilled over the edge so I took care of it all and wiped up the floor with heavy towels.

Fast forward to this morning. I wake up, do my bathroom routine, head to the kitchen for coffee and bring said coffee to lazyboy to read my emails. There on my sofa were the parts of a pen someone had given me recently, taken apart and nicely lined up nex to each other. I had just used it yesterday to make notes on a knitting pattern.

So there it is: I guess I don't live alone??

Was there a point you were making by mentioning how long your hair is ?

 

[hearlady]

Probably the same as saying, "my white hair, (white as snow).
I wanna know who the ghost is!

I dn't understand what the relevance to long hair is...

Everyone here knows I have very long hair, but I only ever mentionit when I'm talking about hairdressing etc...

The long hair adds detail and interest to the story.

The long hair adds detail and interest to the story.

it makes no sense to me..much less interest..it's just confusing ..... what does the long hair have to do with the story ?

He's been there before?

for 6 years

It just adds detail. Haven't you read plenty of books and noticed that sometimes they are padded with detail that isn't germane to the story? Can't you picture the scene better knowing Dusty has long hair, as she goes about her business and then discovers that a man is living with her!

Your irrelevant detail is someone else's juicy story.

Can I have a George Clooney ghost!!!
Whatever you're referring to, I've already forgiven him.

 

[JustDave]

Is there a Ghost Busters franchise near you?

 

[hearlady]

no usually if something like that is mentioned it becaomes eventually integral to the story.....adding something entirely unconnected makes no sense...

She should have had George Clooney looking at her from the mirror. Then it would have made sense.

 

[dusty]

This is usual stuff for me. I am not adraid of them. Yes, there is a 'ghostbusters' near me and I have spoken to them. Let's try not to run off topic, please.

You're not on Ambien by any chance, are you? (I was on it for a while and sleptwalked and slepttalked with no memory of it the next morning, I guess it's a common side effect of the stuff.)

And even if it were Clooney he'd never show up here because there are no mirrors and no clocks in my home.

Yeah, but think about it. If we evaluated everyone's posts based on details that were not connected to the story, there are plenty of us who likely do that all the time.

Heck, I tell side stories that don't perfectly relate to the main story all the time. It's just that A reminds of Z and C and finally I might get back to A. That's a lot more of a crime than a little detail.

You are saying you have a ghost man and he's been with you for 6 years? Just clue me in. I think I fell behind on this story. Except I get that it's not George Clooney.

Cyber Monday at Amazon has a special on in-home security cameras.
Just a thought.

Sorry to veer off. I'm in a silly mood today. No disrespect intended.

I am a tad confused as well. So, this is just a story? Or is it an real experience?

 

[CallMeKate]

So how do we know it's a "he?"

 

[WheatenLover]

I think someone referred to it as "he" and Dusty didn't refute it. Although, he may look like a he but have totally different pronouns.

I think it is a story about a real experience. Like some people go fishing and come back with stories about what they caught. Or people who lived through an interesting period in history tell stories about it and bring history to life. That kind of thing, only about the present day -- today!

 

[astralcat]

Um...OK. I'll just move on then.
