My bond with my bearded dragon goes beyond “he’s warm”. I understand the limitations of his tiny nervous system and that he isn’t capable of affection. I just firmly believe that he not only wants heat and food, but that he finds my presence to be pleasant. That boy will come off his basking log as hot as hell ever need to be, with a belly full of bugs, and still come hauling over just to fall asleep on me. I don’t know what it is, but it’s more than just him seeking the necessities.

Our dog knew my wife was pregnant before she did. Normally she was a sweet and lazy lovable dumb*ss who would hang out with whoever wasn't moving. (The dog, not the wife) Then one day, she decided she wasn't going to leave my wife's side. She wasn't aggressive, but she wasn't going anywhere either. Followed her everywhere for a few weeks, then spousal unit started getting sick, and went to the doctor, and the doctor said "Lets check the obvious"... And now I have an eight year old daughter, and that dog is her constant companion.

My co-worker lies about her medical conditions. She lies that she has seizures, and while I can’t prove it, I know it’s a lie because she’ll drive the same day that she claims to have a seizure. Any time you mention any medical condition, she has it and it’s worse than your case. She has mentioned having toxic shock syndrome, colitis, and a bunch of other things I can’t recall at the moment. One day we were talking about Autism, and she mentioned that her 22 y.o. daughter (who also happens to work with us) was diagnosed as a child. A few days later the daughter casually mentioned that she had found out just recently that she’s Autistic. I wanted to tell her that she only JUST found out because her mom just recently made that s**t up.

That my dad might be alive. He supposedly died in 2009. He was a huge paranoid conspiracy theorist to the point where he would bury his money, planted bushes to hide behind incase the government had a shoot off with him, and at one point thought we all had been replaced by clones. The only people who saw his body are one of my aunts and my grandma who had Alzheimer’s. They told us he was cremated and at the funeral there was no coffin, no urn, all there was was a black and white photo from when he was 10 (he was born in the 50’s). I’ve yet to see his urn or death certificate and it’s been 12 years. He had connections to people who could have easily helped him fake his death, he also had the money to do this. People have also supposedly seen him in Indiana (they took a picture and tbh the guy looks just like him only a bit older, same hunchback, same tattoo on his leg, and he even walked with the same little limp).

That my aunt is my sister. My parents dated in high school, my mom said that she felt like her daughter, and people in high school suspected that she was my parent’s as my mom transferred schools for a year and went back a year later with a baby sister who looked like her except she had my dads curly hair. This was in the late 60s where my mom of all people said it was common for the parents of the mom to raise a high schoolers kid as their own. My parents always helped her more than other family. My mom helped her through her divorce, my dad paid her mortgage when she got laid off.

Something in my old elementary school is causing people to get cancer. I lived in a small town, right around 4,000 people. I went to the private Catholic school in the area which was even smaller, I graduated with 15 in my class and there were less than 300 students total at the time. Despite this very small amount of people, 6 students and faculty members have been diagnosed with cancer over the past 5 years. The odds are so unbelievably slim that I’m sure something cancer causing is in the building, but who knows what or where it is.
