Happy Halloween!

Today is Halloween!

Tonight Jeff and I will watch a scary movie. I decided this year that I will pick the scary movie for Halloween since Jeff sucks at it and he doesn’t really watch them. Funny! This year it’s Babadook. It was hard trying to find one since I watch a lot of scary movies to find one that I haven’t seen. We usually eat pizza but tonight we are going chicken.

Since it’s Halloween I thought I would tell real ghost stories.

First I would like to say yes I have seen ghost. The first time I saw a ghost is when I was baby. Of course I don’t remember it but my mom likes to tell that story. We were in her bedroom maybe she was changing me but I was old enough to talk. I asked mom who was that lady over there. My mom said she looked in the corner then asked me “What woman?” Scared the shit out of her.

Yes even at a young age I could feel them. Not all the time but sometimes. The house I grew up in not that one with the woman but a different one. I swear there was a ghost that lived in one of the rooms. It was my older brother’s room then my mom’s craft room. I did think it was a man who lived there a very long time ago. I could feel his present there and even my mom said she thought it was a guy ghost too. He was friendly because I wasn’t scared of him.

When I was in the fifth grade I had to have back surgery. While I was recovering and my mom said it was the drugs they put me on but I don’t believe her. I saw ghosts and a whole lot of them. They had different kinds of clothes on from different period of times standing around my bed. They were all smiling at me and touching me in a enduring way. I felt like they were all my past relatives wishing me well.

When Jeff and I moved to this small town we rented a house. The basement scared me always! There was a room down there where the washer and dryer used to be. Another thing creepy about that room was all these drawers in the wall it looked strange. I tried my hardest to keep away from that room and it was below our bedroom. Now Jeff at the time didn’t believe in ghost. However I was watching TV and Jeff was sleeping the vent in the floor pop out of the floor and landed away from the hole. No there is no possible way someone can pop the vent in fact sometimes those are hard to get out of the carpet. Scared the shit out of him! Now he believes in ghost. I was happy when we moved.

Here is the scariest! We moved to a little house and I always felt something there but it didn’t scare me at first. The strange part I always felt in our bedroom but just figured it was a friendly like the guy in my childhood home. One night I went to bed and I figured that Koko would let me know if something was wrong. Thinking they can see them more then we at this time we only had Koko too. I went to bed and was sleeping when I saw it! I open my eyes and this shadowy figure came towards me. The figure reached out for me and loomed over me that is when I screamed! It scared the shit out of me! That is when I started to cry and Jeff practically jumped out of bed! Jeff said good thing he didn’t have the gun out he would have shot up the wall. He didn’t see it but I told him I want out of this house! Living in that house with that thing was awful the feeling of dread in our bedroom was awful. When we did move it was a sigh of relief.

To date that was the scariest ghost I have encountered. I would be okay if I never see a scary ghost again. The ones that don’t bother me or are friendly that is fine.

Time to complete my marathon of scary movies.

Boo! 2014. Amazon Prime. This movie is cheesy yet can be scary. I like the story line of this one. Not super scary but enough and there are some jump scares. Four young people go to a mental asylum that is abandoned on Halloween. What could go wrong? I love in the beginning one of the women states that they are the those people who are the dumb ones that are going to find out. True. This deserves a four.

The Last House on Cemetery Lane. 2015. Netflix. Skip this one. Boring maybe a couple of jump scares. The plot line is overdone and the end is no surprise. A writer goes to a house on holiday to get away from it all to write. He has nightmares that are supposedly scary. They are not. One for this one.

The Rohl Farms Haunting. 2015. Amazon Prime. I am not that much into real footage movies because of motion sickness. However I thought I would give this a try. It’s not really all that scary and can be boring in parts. I thought it was okay but I hate how they didn’t explain anything. Like the mask people why are they there? Why did they want these two guys? More questions then scary. However it wasn’t super horrible so I give it a three.

Battle of the Undead. 2013. Amazon Prime. Not a bad zombie movie and not the greatest. Soldiers go to Lebanon to find a man to bring back alive. When they get there, there are zombies. This movie is not in English but it’s dubbed over. The voice actors are not that bad either. Who will back it back? The ending was not bad but like I said not the greatest. The zombies were not bad looking either. This deserves a three.

The Guard Post. Korean. 2008. Amazon Prime. This movie is in Korean so subtitles. However it was great! It’s a long movie but worth a watch. Soldiers at a post are dying but why? They send another team to go in to find the first one and the first scene we see is a crazy solider with an axe and soldiers parts everywhere! A bloody mess! A mystery virus are causing soldiers to kill each other then not remember doing it. Where did this virus come from and why is this happening? They are not zombies as we know zombies but technically zombies in a different mental way. I loved this movie. This movie is a five.

Bunker of the Dead. 2016. Amazon Prime. Finally a zombie movie to watch! Unfortunately this movie is in first person. I have a feeling most movies are going to go this way. Bad for people like me who get motion sickness. I had to watch this movie in two nights however it isn’t bad to keep up. This is about two guys, one guy is wearing a suit and cameras as in first person. The second guy who I have to say has a pleasant voice is the navigator. The first guy goes to a bunker that hasn’t been touched since World War II and they are trying to find gold. But what they find are Nazis zombies which are very well done. They also find a strange tank of the future maybe? Also an alien. The guy who is in the bunker is German as well and somehow can talk to the zombies and alien because he is German. Best zombie movie I have come across in a while. This is a five!

That concludes it. Happy Halloween!

Blog I really meant to write you yesterday.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday was a long blur of sickness. I had scary asthma on Friday. I had to take my machine. I hate taking my machine makes me feel shaky and weak. When I take my nebulizer I have to lay down, I hate that. I had to take it Friday twice and twice on Saturday. I couldn’t breathe! I know I always have that option to go to the ER. However they do nothing that I can’t do at home. All they do at the ER is the nebulizer which I have at home. That is the reason why I have one to use at home.

When I get asthma troubles it comes with a cough. I was lucky this time it did go down in my lungs a little but it came back up to my throat. Good that is really good. My asthma cough can sound horrible like I am hacking up my lungs. But this time it doesn’t sound that awful. Cure for asthma cough, cough syrup always have to keep some on hand. Also my breathing exercises helps a lot!

Unfortunately I got a sinus infection. Ugh! I just want to roll my head of my shoulders it feels that bad. I hate sinus headache it affects my eyes. Hard to type or really do anything. I have been sleeping so much! I think I slept enough for five years. Funny. Last night I am happy my fever broke. I got really too hot I could have slept outside. It’s fall now so gets about 40F at night. I was that hot but in the middle of the night it my fever broke because I got really, really cold. So today I am starting to feel better. Yay!

Since it’s fall we get to rake the yard this weekend of leaves. So not fun but I rather rake leaves then be sick any day.

Before scary movies April came over on Tuesday and stayed till Wednesday. I asked her if she wanted to take an aromatherapy class with me months ago. That is why she came over and to hang out. The lady who gave the class was nice but pushy like a saleswoman. I knew she would try to sell us stuff. That is why you don’t bring extra money with you. No temptation to buy things I wouldn’t use. Sometimes I admit I get caught up in the moment and buy things so I know myself not to bring extra. The class was informative and I learned a lot.

We made a spray and a body scrub.

I made a lavender, peppermint and sandalwood spray. The body scrub is peppermint, cinnamon leaf and lavender. Both smell wonderful. I was going to give my mom the body scrub for Christmas. Good thing April asked what was in the massage oil that is how the scrub is made it has sunflower oil in it. Dammit! My dad is super allergic to anything sunflower. So going to give this to Elena for Christmas. In fact I am going to make body scrubs for all the females this Christmas. Easy to make and not too expensive. But instead of massage oil I am going to try and get aloe gel.

Recipe for body scrub

Bath salt

Essential Oil of your liking. I did two drops peppermint, two drops cinnamon leaf and two drops of lavender. Add more if you want stronger. My mom is sensitive to smells so mine is bit weak.

Add massage oil or aloe gel.

Shake it up!

Body scrub made.

Funny story. The teacher was saying how expenisve her oils were. We had to pay eight dollars each for the supplies. Not too bad. But she was saying this oil cost a hundred and this one two hundred etc. April made her spray super strong. I couldn’t help but laugh because the teacher didn’t want her to dump the spray out because oil is super expensive. But still it was so funny! It’s basically water and oils that is all the spray is.

Now time for more scary movies!

Ghostbusters 2016. Not scary however I was skeptical of the remake of this. It was hilarious! Chris Hemsworth so funny. I literally laughed so much during this film. I love all the ghost and it had Slimer! Also had most of the original cast somewhere in the film. Good job! I give it a five.

Haunt 2013. Netflix. The acting was okay. The relationship between the teen girl and teen boy is rushed. However overlook that it had scares. Yes this jumped scared me. They did a good job on make up as well. Just for being scared at some moments I give this movie a three.

Re-Kill 2015. Netflix. Zombies! I have to say this is a different take on the typical zombie movie. I liked it. It was more like you were watching a TV show in a movie during the safe time after a zombie apocalypse. But is it safe? Not really. I give this movies a four.

The House

Posted on October 17, 2016 by dkbadmin under The House

First of all Jeff and I saw the Accountant on Friday. It was a good movie. It was more drama then action and I thought Ben Affleck did a good job. Jeff made a good point he said ‘isn’t it funny when an actor gets older they want to be action stars.’ I thought that was funny because look at Liam Neeson, so true.

This year I wanted to go to a Halloween store. We went to Halloween City and it was cool. But wow the smell! All that latex and plastic made my stomach churn. So we didn’t last to long in the store. I was looking for a new skull for my collection but they mostly had costumes. I was sort of disappointed on the decorations they had.

Jeff got me Silent Hill Downpour. Since it’s almost Halloween I was thinking of playing a scary game, Silent Hill comes to mind. I was playing Silent Hill Homecoming years ago. It got stolen when we got robbed. I didn’t want to start over. I remember it was hard! So wanted to skip that one and decided Downpour. I have played most of them also this one was on sale on Amazon. It’s crazy most of the Silent Hill games are now expensive!

We worked on the house again. It’s really never ending.

In our living room there was a clay pots boarder. We both hated it. I have never taken down wallpaper before but I have seen it can be hard.

While talking with my mom she said they make stuff to take off the wallpaper glue which is why wallpaper is hard to get off. We found this stuff:

This stuff is worth the twenty dollars for both. The small thingy makes holes in the wallpaper then spray the stuff. Let it soak then scrape off. It worked! I didn’t think it would. However it does smell like pee though but can live with that as it worked so well.

I wanted to go brown for our living room since everything in there is brown already except my chair but that is only because it was on sale. It’s blue but brown and blue go together. Anyway we went with Behr paint. It claims it goes on with just one coat. Not! We have to do two coats because of the texture of our walls. In my opinion don’t make a claim you can’t keep. Just like the paint lady at Home Depot she said how can they claim this? They don’t know people’s walls. We laughed because true. Anyway it’s still nice paint.

This is only one coat. Tonight we finish it on this side of the room.

We worked more on our wall and finished the wood part.

We put the cabinet in and painted where the TV is going to go. It looks so cool!

Remember that pumpkin? I carved it.

This pumpkin was the hardest to carve! But the pay off I am drying out it’s seeds right now and soon I will get to eat pumpkin seeds. Yum!

It’s time to continue October movies.

Housebound 2014-Netflix. Who rates these movies? If you want to be bored watch this movie. There wasn’t even one time were I was scared. The plot is boring and overdone. The main character she acted like Kristen Stewart in Twilight. I give this movie a one.

The Dead Room 2016. This was a good movie. Two scientist and a psychic. The scientists trying to get proof of ghost. The psychic to detect it if any. Old house but not a big house. Thought that was interesting. Usually haunted houses are two stories. The acting was good and the other things in the house made it scary. There is one scene of possession but not too bad and I could handle it. I give it a four.

The Hoarder 2015. Yes this was really scary in the beginning. I didn’t know it was creature feature. So I was disappointed in that regard. However storage unit building and being trapped. Something about that is scary in itself and the acting was good. I give this a four.

Really scary moment. I was watching The Dead Room and it got to the scary part and since at this time we had a whole in our wall to the garage the air compressor turn on by itself. Scared the shit out of me! Now it’s funny but I was like what is that?! Scared Koko too. Jeff said it’s because it was low on air it just turns on. Also it took some time to fine how to turn it off. Still though scary!

I like scary movies.

It’s that time of year to watch scary movies. Even though I watch scary movies throughout the year. I watch more of them in the month of October.

When I was younger I liked to watch the Exorcist. Now I can’t handle movies with possessions. They really scare the shit out of me. Too many questions arise about if that could really be possible. So I avoid all movies and shows with that in it if I can. Sometimes they sneak it in and I really hate that.

I think the reason I like scary movies is I rarely get nightmares from them. I can handle it. However there are two movies that really gave me nightmares and I will never ever see them again. I wouldn’t even see their sequels.

The Ring 2002. This movie scared me so much! At the time I did have a TV in my room. I had to cover it so she wouldn’t come out of it. I sacred for months!

Oculus 2013. The mirrors! I couldn’t look at mirrors at night. I normally can’t anyways but this brought the real fear of that to life.

These are the only two movies in a list of scary movies I have seen in my life. Which I think it’s pretty good there is only two.

I will watch the Shinning. I read the book and I have to say reading the book makes the movie make more sense. There are some little details that are in the movie without the book that just make no sense. However the remake for TV movie of the Shinning is more like the book. I understand they didn’t have the technology to make it like the book for the first one and also Jack Nicholson is awesome in this movie.

Definitely be watching some zombies movies. You know I love zombies movies. I will definitely be watching the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Did you know it’s staged in Wisconsin even though not filmed here. I think that is cool.

Anyway I will write about the horror movies I watch this month. Oh let the bad movies take over. You know there are going to be some horrible ones and there are so many. I hope I can find some good ones in the mix. I am going to do a rating system. One being terrible and five being that was a great movie.

I am going to start with Pontypool 2008. I saw this on Netflix. Not really scary but I did like the drama it had in it and makes you think. I do like movies where they don’t have to go all over the place. I liked that this just took place at a radio station. I love how it plants an imagery in your head of what is happening outside even though the viewer doesn’t see it. The ending I wasn’t surprised as how I sort had a hunch that is how it was going to end. This deserves a four.

JeruZalem 2106. Watched it on Netflix. Warning if you get motion sickness do not watch this. However if you are like me and get motion sickness watch it anyways. Funny. This took me three days to watch because I do get motion sickness. Basically two friends who are women go to Jerusalem for vacation and demons roam the place. Also the main woman is wearing Google Glass and you see everything through her eyes. That is where the motion sickness comes in. Now who will survive? I was actually surprised who did survive. Anyway the American guy was sort of annoying in my opinion and the acting was just okay. The demons are super CGI and the bigger demons like come on! Horrible. Who rated this four out of five stars on Netflix? It wasn’t really bad but bad enough. I give it a two.

Hi! I am back being my positive self.

April had her surgery for her cancer September 30th. Everything went great and she won’t have a huge scar either. She was worried about that. Because back in the day when they did thyroid surgery the doctor would leave a scar that would spread across the neck like someone tried to kill you scar. I knew that wouldn’t be medicine has come along way from that. I am happy that she wouldn’t have that and the surgery went well!

She had all of her thyroid out and all the lymph notes on her right side. Not sure yet if she needs radiation they told her a couple of weeks. Also that she can take the radiation in pill form so she can be home when she takes it.

Right now she is at home chilin’ after all that. I am glad she is fine. Now April has to content with her tumor behind her eye. But at least the cancer is gone.

Saturday Jeff and I had pizza with my parents and my aunt Kathy. It’s was good to see her that is my mom’s sister. My mom and dad went to my dad’s brother’s farm with the grand kids to pick pumpkins. Every year my Uncle Paul grows pumpkins just for the kids to have. That is so nice. He gave one to my parents to give to me. Look it’s huge and it’s green!

While we were in Green Bay we went to Cabelas. Never been there before. Jeff has been thinking of getting another gun. So we went there to compare between the guns of the one he wanted. Anyway while walking inside it’s huge! There is animals everywhere AND they have a small aquarium inside. It’s was so cool!

It was so cool to see everything! We ended up not buying a gun because there was no one to help us. They only had one person helping everyone and there was a line. Also my fault too I convinced Jeff that he should wait to buy might go gun shopping with his sister in November. However I wanted to hold one to see which one I liked but I wasn’t willing to wait hours to do so. I think it was the Smith Wesson Shield and Compact to see the difference. Dawn wants us to go shooting. I am excited about that. I haven’t gone in years because around that time when we were going shooting and taking the class, I got carpel tunnel surgery done on my right hand. Since I am right handed hard to shoot a gun. I had so much fun shooting. So that will be fun!

We worked more on our wall. This was Saturday.

This is Sunday.

See the wall on the right we are going to that little part of the wall with the boards. Also that is where our pellet stove will go as well.
