  6. What is it about a screeching door that's so scary? It must be that we associate it with all those scary movies :-)

  19. I'd be tiptoeing my way to lock that door. As if a locked door could keep a ghost out mind you, but I'd give it a darned good try!

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers!
