Database maintenance

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Terrifying Tipsy Tales: My Spooky Season series

I have made a series on You Tube called "Terrified Tipsy Tales". It's like Drunk History, but I am tipsy and talk about spooky things.

I discuss why I became interested in the paranormal in the 1st episode


I talk about major visions coming true in the second episode .

*Disclaimer: I messed up the EF rating of the tornado that hit La Plata, Maryland in 2002. it was an EF4 or F4. There was an EF5 or F5 tornado that hit La Plata, but that was in 1925.


I talk about a shadow figure in my last house in the third episode


I talk about my personal experience of seeing a full bodied apparition when I was 9 on patrol duty.

New You Tube Vid (part 1)

I am soooo behind with posting...both new vids and updates. I have gone back SFI (Swedish for Immigrants) at the end of September. So, that is part of the reason why I haven't been around.

I have made seven vids since I last posted the Kinder Country vid. I will divide this in two. The last four will be from my Spooktober series called "Terrifying Tipsy Tales" where I talk about scary stuff while tipsy. It is like Drunk History almost.

None of the vids are sponsored

I make my own pumpkin spice in honor of the arrival of Autumn/Fall (Höst in Swedish), especially since they don't have pumpkin spice in Sweden 😭😭😭 This year is round three of making my own pumpkin spice blend.


I try and review Peanut Butter Kit Kat. Do I like it? Watch and see!
