Stories from Youtube


 

Trying to relax before dinner, I found a story on Youtube while I waited.  Are all these stories identical?  


"Turn, turn.  See the pathos.  A whale of a lot of snow.   A blizzard!!  Oh no!! I huddled in my house feeling darkness creep far over the land.  I'm not just talking about a cloudy sky, or sunset.  No!!   Far, far worse.   There was almost no time to prepare."


I knew where this was going.  We need an angel. 


"As I shivered, trying in vain to stay warm, suddenly my soul left my body.  It went outside and flew around above the houses.  Above the driveways.  Above the roads, the trees,  the pastures,  the stores, the schools..."


Okaaay.   I keep telling myself that any second now, we'll get to the point.   "Above the Walmart.  Above restaurants.  Above my beauty shop."  How long had I stuck with this tale of woe, continuing to wait for what they had to say?  Forever it seems.  I had watched for 24 minutes.  Now they were flying over other neighborhoods.  Over the river and through the woods.  To grandmother's? Each factoid was reiterated five or six different ways.  I was in Youtube purgatory.  


The End.

Quarter the cabbage, remove the core, and slice it into thin ribbons. Salt and Massage:  Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle it with salt. Massage and squeeze the cabbage with clean hands for 5 to 10 minutes until it wilts and releases plenty of its own juices (brine). Pack the Jar:  Transfer the cabbage and all its juice tightly into a clean glass jar. Pack it down as hard as you can so the brine rises above the cabbage. Submerge:  Fold up one of your reserved...

Watching Youtube

  My favorite thing to do is watching stories on YouTube about the interesting lives of other people.   I think to myself, "Why don't I have an interesting life?  Everyone else does."  What's my most unusual story? About ten years ago I was walking back to the house from the mailbox when I saw my husband's ghost standing in the yard.  What???  He was standing with his side to me, facing a field about 100 feet away.  I walked up to him with my mind made up to find out what this was about.  When I reached him, he began to walk away.  I was determined to see where he went and I stood and watched.  He walked away slowly, not making a sound, even though it was fall, and he was walking on fallen leaves that should have crunched.  He walked about 25 feet away toward some trees and bushes.  He strangely began to lose definition around the edges of his body as he approached a tree.  He became blurry, and suddenly, poof!  ...
