An in old floral print couch covered in dolls with varying levels of creepiness. Behind it is an very large painting of dracula and a woman in a pale blue dress

The only downside is that you can only take ONE picture (or at least, that was the policy when we went 5 years ago). It's sorta cramped, so I get it, but it sure makes choosing that one picture tough.

Here was my choice

These are awesome. I'd never heard of this place and now I'm planning a trip out there.

If you're ever on the other side of the state, the Halloween Museum in Altoona might be to your liking.

Julia child using a mandoline bare handed, she's slicing a potato that's maybe a quarter inch thick. Closed captions read "there's one that needs evening"

Watching Julia Child use a mandoline bare handed, truly this woman would have faced God and walked backwards into hell

Two cats on a bed. One is curled up in a c shape with his feet on the other cat's butt in his face and the other cat's crotch. The other is stretched out. Together they make the shape of a nine

Lost a filling last fall, appointment to replace it is in March. Just noticed I lost another one.

Paraphrasing Oscar Wilde: To lose one filling may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness

Two cats, both on a bed strewn with blankets, one of which appears to be a large picture of baked beans such as one might receive as a white elephant gift. The cats are curled up in almost the exact same position and are sleeping

I may not love the area where I live, but I've grown to like it and the cheap real estate definitely helps with that
