Just stumbled across this. I never think of Jeff Dahmer as having any surviving victims but here are two:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...

Once again, this article says that Mary Jane Kelly was lying prone. She was not - she was supine. Are they all just copying from one another without even checking the picture they're talking about?
They probably don't know what "prone" means. Remember when all those articles on the Turpin kids said they were "emaciated"? None of them were! And, yeah, checking the picture would be a GREAT deal of effort.
Yeah, I'm assuming they don't understand the word they're using. Still lazy, one of those weird things that chafes at me.
Says here that the Terry Rasmussen case inspired a detective to try genealogical DNA t catch the Golden State Killer:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/03/us...
I stumbled across an article on Wm Choyce that has photos of all 3 of his known victims -- it looks as if 2 or 3 other slightly luckier women escaped him alive:https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/t...

I love the dog on the video, how he shakes his rear end when he finds something ... lol I could donate my body to these folks, since I live in Australia, but I'm not sure my family would be too pleased with that choice.

Why why would someone post that? Are you proud your grandson murdered people!?

I have a feeling some super nice friendly news crew came out and talked her into showing them a little of the house. You notice they didn't add sound. She may have thought the tour was about something entirely different. "Mrs. Dahmer, was that your name. And how do you spell that? Did you realize you're living on the site of a stop on the Underground Railroad? Escaped slaves were hidden in your basement!"
Her 15 minutes of fame, albeit at an older age than she anticipated.
I was happy to see it. I always wondered whether she was ancient and frail or hale and hearty. She doesn't seem befuddled at all. So a leetle harder for young Jeffty to fool.Of course you'd never look across the table at your handsome blonde grandson and ask yourself, "Who has that dang kid drugged and killed and fried up in a pan NOW?"

Question, Fishface: What is a leeyle garder, please?

A typo I fixed 3x and still managed to enter wrong again. I really hate typing into a cellphone sometimes. Read that post again and see if it makes sense.

I thank you and AutoDistort thanks you

I am incapable of swiping if I ever want to get the message completed. Never learned touch typing despite trying 5 different times in high school and college.

I didn't even know swiping from letter to letter was an option. I am a 2-finger typer from way back. Never learned to touch type, and even if I could, doing it on a phone screen sounds like a lost cause.

I'm a swiper, it actually works better for me, especially since I hate putting on my glasses to send a text or post something with my cell phone.
Of course if I'm on my computer, like I am now, I touch type. Fast.

Seems this article suffered from a missing comma or two. Either that, or the article opens up a whole new genre of true crimes, those committed by court order, or some such.

It's a spice, similar to nutmeg. My grandmother used it a lot.

If you can't find mace use nutmeg (sparingly). They're made from the same plant and taste similar.

Oh, I know what it is. I got some at Amazon. I hope I like it because the smallest size is 2 ounces.
