Social WR Lounge v269: Lead and Clippy bffs for life and always share McDonald's french fries

I'm on the fake syrup over real syrup bandwagon but it has more to do with the texture than the taste..... also probably because I was using fake syrup for years before having the real stuff.

The real stuff is too liquidy for me

I’m reading about a cold case where the DA got an anonymous call threatening him to stop investigating a murder or else he’ll “end up in the green river” and the DA responded “I can swim” and hung up. Pretty awesome.

Unfortunately that DA was Ray Gricar

I like pancakes cold out of the fridge with no syrup later in the say after I make them. Like right out of the zip lock bag like giant cold chips.

What we do here is "Flädlesuppe". In other words, you put some herbs (parsley or chives) into a pancake (which is kind of middle ground between a crepes and US style pancake), roll it up and cut it into slices to be put into soup (bouillon). Also great to put in the freezer and have ready in a minute.

Ha, not quite but that's funny. I don't think he actually ended up in water although his hard drive did of course.

I probably missed you posting this before but what is it you do that has you looking that stuff up? Or is it just a hobby?

Doesn't everyone look that up? I do it too.

You and @essie would be good contributors in this Mayberry thread.

No sorry I never really went into it. It started as a hobby when I was young but then with the advancement in genealogy DNA offering people a chance to assist in identifying DOEs I began to branch into connecting missing persons with unidentified bodies through NAMUS. I was awarded a grant to write a novel on the Steven Koecher case in the last half year and am currently working on that and travel to do research on various cold cases when I have time.

No. He stepped away when the mods changed the title of his thread.

I don’t find that odd, Americans are fed high fructose corn syrup from birth. It would not surprise me one bit they prefer the fake syrup to natural real maple syrup.

I only buy the 100% real Canadian stuff.

Thank you. To be clear I've never researched Ray Gricar's case but I read a book about it and find it interesting and one of the few cases of missing people that could genuinely be explained by the person walking away.

This morning in Tales From Recovery.

A number of times since rehab I have dreamed about falling off the wagon. This is accompanied by extreme guilt followed by extreme relief when I wake up and realize it was just a dream. Last night I had a long and very vivid dream about being on a cruise ship. My wife and I have been on several cruises and the level of consumption was pretty epic.

In the dream I spent a lot of time looking at those bars and having a sense of knowing that I could get away with getting drunk and when I got back home no one would know. Despite this I didn't touch a drop.

I don't know what kind of milestone this represents but I'm marking this one down as a big fat W.

Fascinating.

It's not exactly a cold case, but a pretty bizarre one and I wonder if you've heard of it,

Dennis Oland was found guilty but then upon retrial received a not guilty verdict, and then this comes out:
'A lot of blood.' Dennis Oland's wife accused him of intimate partner violence
Buddy may not have killed his father but he's a POS nevertheless, apparently.

Damn, that's pretty awesome

I only remember the case because it was loosely connected to Sandusky.

At the time the internet was speculating that he was killed off to stop him exposing an organization of PA elite s who paid Sandusky for acces to kids.

That's awesome. I was just mentioning this same feeling the other day from dreaming about smoking cigarettes. It's not nearly the same accomplishment to get over tobacco as it is to quit hard drugs (I include alcohol in that), but that feeling of utter disappointment and soul ripping guilt is no different in my case, I don't think. The consequences for me falling off that wagon would be dire enough, believe me.

I haven't had one of those dreams for a while, so here's hoping I've also crossed a threshold and neither of us have to suffer such mental pain again anytime soon.

Come to Chicago. We have nothing but cold cases as far as the eye can see. Lol

I'm only familiar with that through headlines but it sounds like a very sensational case.

100% it is a W. Considering that after the dream you are still sober i see it as a positive

Did he get banned again?

If you click a users profile and it takes you to their profile they aren’t banned. Similarly if it says ‘This user limits who may view their whole profile’ they aren’t banned. If it says ‘user not found’ 9 times out of 10 they are banned.
