    Sometime ago, some coworkers and I got so far as to brainstorm about how we could operate a drug cartel from within the ranks of our government jobs.
    Purely as an academic exercise, naturally.

    I’m currently involved in a high-ish profile case at work that has developed quite a Reddit following, which I’ve been keeping a jaundiced eye on (but not posting to, obviously).  As it pertains to our case I’ve seen precisely one Reddit post that was sheer brilliance (and which very slightly affected the trajectory of the case), a couple dozen that were marginally insightful—and the other few hundred posts were nearly all utter nonsense (but still entertaining in their own way).

    It's absolutely a more spicy version of LDS content than you get here.  Full of people engaging in mutually consensual online combat.

    I'd be interested in hearing your ghostly tale! Here's my own ghostly tale as upfront payment: (I turn off the lights and shine a torch up at my face.)
    We were staying at my grandparents' house on the Isle of Wight. The Island is a ghostly place to start with, and though I've been there more times than I can count (the most recent being this past summer) this is the only ghostly experience I can remember having there. Anyway my brother and I (we were kids at the time) had been picking apples for our grandparents from the tree in the garden. We loved doing this (it was a very tall and exciting tree) but we had the added incentive that our grandfather paid us. After one one day's climbing and picking he gave us 50p (which must have been the equivalent of about $10 in modern US money).
    A lovely bright shiny fifty pence piece:
     
    As we were getting ready for bed (we shared a double bed - and my brother always kept me awake half the night complaining about my snoring) I asked my brother if he had the 50p piece safe. He went through all his pockets and couldn't find it. I went through all my pockets and couldn't find it either. We stood side by side by the bed, totally perplexed. Then I felt something brush past my shoulder. The 50p coin shot between us plopped onto the bed. No one else but us was in the room.
    So that's the ghostly tale of the fifty pence piece. Over to you now...

    @EH12NG   Oh - I'm interested in a firsthand ghost story!   And this is a good thread to share it. 
    With a little luck, we'll all act like we know the difference between a personal experience, beliefs, theology, and doctrine.

    Klaw was lying here between me and the keyboard, facing toward the monitors. The window is behind me.  From some angles, you can clearly see outside via the reflection in the monitors.  Someone jogged past my house.  Klaw saw it in the monitor and immediately got up and looked over my shoulder out the window!   I'm a proud Meowmy.

    r/fountainpens - it's the place to show off your new pen, new ink, new notebook, and how one or more matches your keyboard / hair / nail polish / wallet / car / dice / etc.  Alternately, you can get good newbie help, or help figuring out why your pen isn't writing well.  Everyone will be happy to encourage you to spend more money on fountain pen stuff.  And you'll get to vote on the color and name for the annual Diamine (that's an ink-making company) r/fountainpens ink.
    r/Fountain_Pen_Cats shouldn't need any explanation.

    Uncommon occurrence.  Yes it happens, not often.
     
     
    A few, never had a custodial abduction.  Trafficking is not just about abductions either.  Or children.
