Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 22, 2024

Why wouldn’t you want to experience THAT?

What happened to Florence?

SOME humans are broken that way. I consider myself not to be in that group. I never watch scary films… not even Jaws etc. Doesn’t do anything (good) for me at all.

I think I’ll pass, Phoebe!

In other worlds, the last time I had a crush on someone

“Real fear should make you lie awake at night, paralyzed with fear.”

No problem. The holiday season is just around the corner. Plenty of sleepless nights coming. ;-)

People enjoy fake fear, artificial terror.

I’ve had sleep paralysis before. Does that count?

Plenty of sleepless nights in the US of late….

The only thing scarier than Halloween upcoming is Election Day!!

Hmm… 2019, eh? Plenty of nightmares to come then.

I never could get into or understand others’ penchant for horror movies and such. I volunteered at a haunted house once. It was fun from that side. I always figured if I did try one, they’d have a hard time doing more than startling me. There are movies that I can only enjoy by reminding myself several times to suspend my disbelief.

Is it just me, or does Phoebe look a little older (or at least bigger) here?

I really don’t want to wait… and why reruns. Oh theory, Dana’s retiring soon and wants us to keep checking so she does the reruns to keep her legacy alive when she burns out!

I can only watch a horror movie if it is completely out of my reality — so I liked the Alien movies (the first few), which were super scary, because I will never be in a space ship. I can’t watch most “horror” movies as they are mostly blood and guts and victimizing women.

The next President will be either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.

How’s THAT for scary?!

Nope. I was scared all my life until I went away to university. Worked hard to not be in scary situations after that, and then I got married and we had twin daughters. The girls were 24 this last February 29th and it’s still scary.

For real terror, wait till Nov. 5.

That’s an interesting, and true, way to put it Phoebe.

I think I pointed this out last time: try a cancer or Alzheimer’s diagnosis…
