Lee county school hurricane update

Hi! I'm an incoming first year international student and I started planning my courses and saw this issue. Basically, it's because my high school curriculum was different from Canadian. Does anyone know if it's a problem? Will I have to do something with it, e.g., somehow prove that I already completed the prerequisites in high school?

೫Hi everyone! I have a bunch of fandoms I'm just itching to roleplay. I’m only looking for canon characters and ships. I do have some plots in mind for some of these fandoms and I'd love to hear any ideas you may have!
೫These are my only rules; (except for triggers which I will share in dms)
ᏪI do take some time to reply at times due to me getting distracted or due to mental health/physical health/school/work and family issues so please give me time to reply but I’ll usually keep you updated! If I forget to reply for a while feel free to message me again! I will let you know if I don’t want to Role-Play ^{^} I’m physically disabled so sometimes irl I take a little longer to do things such as eat (I have a small mouth okay😔) or go to the bathroom. So please be patient when I say brb, I get it if I’ve been gone for an hour and you’re confused but usually it takes 20-25 minutes so I shouldn’t take that long to get back. If that ever does happen it might be because I had a health issue and needed help.
ᏪDon’t push me to do things. If I say I don’t want to do that then I’m not doing it. Unless I say I might want to do it later, I’m not doing it.
ᏪI’m fine with any type of Role-Play except for ** and (). Please have decent grammar as well. It doesn’t have to be perfect but I would at least like to understand what you’re trying to say. I mostly do 3rd person.
ᏪPlease use any of these OOC, // \ / \ (( )) ( ) - - or any other symbols.
ᏪI can do romantic or platonic relationships but I mostly do romance. I’m okay with gore, angst, etc. Please be willing to play LGBTQ+ ships. I would LOVE to write against each of the fandoms mentioned below.
ᏪPlease be comfortable with role-playing over discord.
ᏪI don’t rp with OC’s anymore. Please respect this.
ᏪPlease don’t speak to me rudely OOC. I love OOC chatting though! I like discussing plots, AUs and etc. and hearing your ideas as we RP! Don’t be afraid to chat with me OOC, Just don’t be rude. Thank you ^{^}
೫The fandoms I am currently interested in are from which I want to do the most to least;
ᝰMCU & DC
ᝰHarry PotteHogwarts Legacy
ᝰBNHA
ᝰAvatar: The Last Airbender & The Legend Of Korra
ᝰDemon Slayer
ᝰVoltron: Legendary Defender
ᝰFire Emblem: Three Houses
ᝰGenshin Impact
ᝰAttack on Titan
ᝰPercy Jackson (Riordanverse)
ᝰAlice In Borderland
ᝰHonkai: Star Rail
೫Some of my favorite genres include; enemies to lovers, hurt/comfort, fluff, found family, and more.
೫Thank you for reading and I hope we can role-play together! ^{^}

Hello Redditors. Michigan resident here. I graduated HS in 2010. I was a gifted kid who never needed to study until I attended college. I started my college journey at University of Toledo for a semester in 2010 and then went over to Wayne County Community College District in MI, finishing with an associates in Fall 2013. Community college was much easier. Later I transferred to Wayne State University majoring in biology in spring 2014. For the next 5 years, I struggled through WSU dealing with depression, narcmom, suicidal ideation and toxic relationships that I started taking adderall to focus. I eventually became sick and even passed out in class before. After failing and retaking so many classes, I finally gave up in Spring of 2019 and dropped out. I was 97% complete and I decided to just start focusing on myself and my career as I did work many jobs while enrolled in school. Since my leave from Wayne, I’ve considered going back to school now that I’m in a better place overall. It has been a burden on my shoulders for years especially trying to advance in my career and not having a bachelors degree. I’ve felt embarrassed being 97% done and couldn’t finish “on time”. Changed my perspective and definitely feeling more positive, motivated and inspired than ever to return. My passion is neuropsychology. I would like to pursue a masters in neuroscience at University of Florida. Before I get there I’m considering a bachelor’s in neuroscience at Arizona State University and to also raise my gpa. I’ve been admitted and will speak to an academic advisor in regards to my transfer credits from WCCCD and WSU. Here is the caveat, After speaking to academic advisor at WSU, I am 4 credits from graduating from Wayne (97% complete). To graduate from Wayne, my major GPA needs to be a 2.0, I would need to retake 3 classes (Ecology, biochem, and special topics) for a bachelors in biology. This will meet both the credits and gpa requirements. Being at an overall GPA 2.19 and major gpa is 1.82. I’ve been thinking about whether if I should pursue entirely another major at ASU instead, such as their neuroscience major. The deal breaker for me is the conveniency of attending school online which ASU offers with the neuroscience program. At WSU I will have to physically go to campus downtown. The commute to the city would be inconvenient for me. I do work full time remotely as well and the timing of the courses throughout the year is also inconvenient. Lastly I plan on moving out of Michigan within a year and I really don’t want WSU to hold me back. I was told by the advisor that there are not any other options to take those remaining classes online. What would make the most sense here? Pursue an undergrad in something that I actually like at ASU, or just settle and finish at WSU just to “have a degree”? I really don’t want to give in to the sunken cost fallacy and just finish at WSU bc of the time and money invested. I feel I would be happier with a fresh start at ASU, I can work on my gpa and don’t mind investing a little bit more time and money to complete my degree. Yes WSU would be the most cost effective but overall quality and reward I feel would come from ASU. I may have issues getting into Grad school with 2.0 at University of Florida. I believe it’s the only university that offers neuroscience, masters program in the country. Lastly, would doing post bacc courses, research or things of that nature increase my chances of getting into the neuroscience program at UF, if I do consider finishing the remaining courses at WSU?

I’m a teenager and me and my gf are having rlly bad problems and it’s all because of me. There are a lot of instances that have contributed to this. Not really instances actually, just a bunch of stuff. I’ll start at the beginning.
We got together early January this year. We were good friends for a few months before that and we have our friend group. We didn’t really hang out or do girlfriends stuff until about March. (I don’t know why. But it’s probably due to us being so young, and it was her first relationship with a girl.) But in March we got really close and all that jazz. It was good. We did stuff and started being kinda intamite at school. (Not bad, just hugging for a bit too long and cuddling) One of our friends (I’ll call Alexis, not her real name), spread the rumor that we were dating, even though we didn’t want people to know yet. People kept asking if we were dating and my girlfriend didn’t want them to know. I respect that. But after that, life was shitty. She stopped sitting with me at lunch, hugging me at school, even talking to me. I literally couldn’t even talk to her normally anymore, I just got a monotone reply. This went on for weeks until about early may when we started fighting. She started to ignore me and be super close with the others. (Hugging them talking to them laughing) and it hurt like hell for me to just sit there and watch. I understood why but I also didn’t at the same time. I thought she was going to break up with me because of this so I talked to my other friends about it and they told her and she got mad at me which I deserved. And that’s where the fighting began. Now it’s even worse. She ignores me outside of school and is distant. I know she has separate problems but I can’t even say to my friends that it hurts bc she gets mad when I tell ppl so I’m doing this on a throwaway. I just hate myself so much for ruining our relationship and I want her back but idk if that will ever happen. Anyway yeah. And I just feel so alone bc I can’t tell anyone even the vaguest detail and I just want to resort back to my old habits like cutting and taking pills but i can’t. I just hate myself so much for this mess and idk how to fix it. I’ll update if i do end up fixing it but ya

Okay, this is gonna be a bit of a strange post! So, my school very recently established a drama club, like, just this past school year. It's headed by our art teacher and my choir director. On the last day of school, I was having a conversation with my choir director and she confirmed that next school year, we'll be doing a spring musical! She can't announce what it'll be now because they still haven't sorted out everything concerning copyright, but I asked some questions that might help me guess with a little bit of help.

• It won't be very dance heavy. I brought up the fact that I would love to do Newsies and she very quickly shot it down, she said it's definitely not Newsies and it won't be dance heavy at all. "Not any more dance heavy than Spongebob." she specifically said, as I was recently in a community theatre production of Spongebob: The Musical. So this rules out things like West Side Story and Hairspray.
  
• It's pretty evenly split on genders. I asked her if there would be more girls or boys in the cast, and she said it would be fairly even throughout the cast. So nothing with a primarily male or female cast.
  
• It's a medium sized cast, with plenty of ensemble roles to go around. That rules out small cast musicals like Ride The Cyclone, Putnam County Spelling Bee, or You're A Good Man Charlie Brown.
  

Does anyone have any idea what show it might be? The 3 shows that have been bouncing around in my head as possibilities are Shrek, Tuck Everlasting, and The Addams Family, all of those shows would be awesome to be a part of! Does anyone think they might know what it could be?

just got my new surface go 2 last wed, have been doing some troubleshooting and restarting on my own after the updates couldn't be updated, and also went back to the store when my computer shut down due to unfinished updates. almost done fixing all the problems, but i am at my wits end trying to download spotify and icloud (which were SUPPOSED to be default apps when i bought it), and tried googling and restarting the laptop a million times, but its still taking forever to download. i need icloud as i have to transfer my school docs over from my ipad (theres a LOT). im a total tech newbie and microsoft support is closed for the weekend so idk what to do :'(
also can anyone tell me how to display apps on the main screen? i only know how to display apps on the taskbar

A terrifying movie or book or show gets your blood pumping in the moment of consumption, sure—we covered our eyes in Squid Game with the rest of the world. But for the most part, you rest easy afterward knowing that what you've witnessed is fiction, deliberately spun up to creep you out. When the real world gets eerier than anything Stephen King could dream up, that's when you have every right to get a little scared of the dark.
Once in a while, a story of a dreadful disappearance, demonic possession, or devil worship will land in the local paper instead of a pulpy old paperback. We've rounded up the most unnerving real-life tales below. In honor of spooky season, here are eleven we can't stop thinking about.

The Axe Murder House

The Villisca Axe Murder House in Villisca, Iowa is a well-known tourist attraction for ghost hunters and horror lovers alike. The site of a gruesome unsolved 1912 murder, in which six children and two adults had their skulls completely crushed by the axe of an unknown perpetrator, was purchased in 1994, restored to its 1912 condition, and converted into a tourist destination. It costs $428 a night to stay at the old haunted home, where visitors always report strange paranormal experiences, such as visions of a man with an axe roaming the halls or the faint screams of children.
But in November of 2014, the haunting took a darker turn. Robert Steven Laursen Jr., 37, of Rhinelander, Wisconsin was on a regular recreational paranormal visit with friends when true horror struck. Per VICE:

His companions found him stabbed in the chest—an apparently self-inflicted wound—called 9-1-1, and Laursen was brought to a nearby hospital before being helicoptered to Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said Laursen suffered the self-inflicted injury at about 12:45 a.m., which is around the same time the 1912 axe murders in the house began.
Laursen recovered from his injuries, but has never spoken publicly about what occurred that day. For Martha Linn, the owner of the home, the incident was very upsetting. "It's publicity, but it's not exactly the kind of publicity you desire to have. I don't want people thinking that when they come to the Villisca Axe Murder House something's going to happen that's going to make them do something like that.” The house remains open for tourist visits and overnight stays today.

The Haunted Doll

When you think of haunted dolls, it’s likely the creepy old Victorian-looking porcelain kind that springs to mind. None of which you probably have laying around. Still, don’t get too comfortable around any kids toys too soon, though: a Disney’s Frozen Elsa doll that was gifted for Christmas 2013 in the Houston area made headlines earlier this year when it seemingly became haunted.
Per KPRC2 Houston News:

The doll recited phrases from the movie Frozen and sang “Let It Go” when a button on its necklace was pressed.
“For two years it did that in English,” mother Emily Madonia said. “In 2015, it started doing it alternating between Spanish and English. There wasn’t a button that changed these, it was just random."
The family has owned the doll for more than six years and never changed its batteries. The mother says the doll would randomly begin to speak and sing even with its switch turned off.

The family decided to throw the creepy doll out in December of 2019. Weeks later, they found it inside a bench in their living room. “The kids insisted they didn’t put it there, and I believed them because they wouldn’t have dug through the garbage outside,” Madonia told KPRC2 Houston News.

At that point, Elsa ceased to sing the English rendition of “Let It Go” altogether, speaking only Spanish when pressed. The family then double-bagged the bizarre doll and placed it at the bottom of their garbage which was taken out on garbage day. They went on a trip shortly after, but when they returned, Elsa too had come back, and was waiting in the backyard of their home.
This time, the family mailed Elsa to a family friend in Minnesota, who taped the haunted doll to the front bumper of his truck. It doesn’t seem to have made its way back to Houston yet, as per Madonia’s latest February Facebook update on the creepy doll.

A Deadly Exorcism

In August 2016 in North London, 26-year-old Kennedy Ife began acting strange and aggressive following a pain in his throat. He reportedly bit his father, threatened to cut off his own penis, and complained of a python or snake inside of him before his family restrained him to a bed with cable ties and excessive force.
As the BBC reported:

“The family then set about attempting to ‘cure’ Kennedy through restraint and prayer over the next three days, the court was told.”

His brother, Colin Ife, told police:

“It’s clear that thing was in him, what we believed was a demon because it was not natural. It was clearly trying to kill him,” he said.
“We had to restrain him for himself. It was clear if we didn’t restrain him, he could have tried to harm people in our family.”

Kennedy Ife had been bound to his bed for three days without medical attention when his brother called emergency services, explaining that Kennedy Ife was complaining of dehydration. He appeared to have developed breathing issues, and was pronounced dead at 10:17 a.m.
As The Independent reported:

While police were at the house Colin Ife allegedly carried out an “attempted resurrection” by chanting and praying for Mr. Ife.

All seven of Kennedy Ife’s family members were accused of manslaughter, false imprisonment, and causing or allowing the death of a vulnerable adult. A post-mortem examination revealed over 60 wounds including a possible bite on Kennedy Ife’s body, and his father, Kenneth Ife, along with four of his brothers, sustained injuries as well.

The BBC reported:

Kenneth Ife told jurors he ordered his sons to take shifts and use "overwhelming force" but denied that an "association with cults, occults and secret societies" played any part in the death.

After a four day jury deliberation, all seven family members were cleared of charges on March 14, 2019.

Dead Animals in the Walls

When the Bretzuis family decided to insulate their home in Auburn, Pennsylvania in 2015, they discovered that it had already been—with scores of dead animal carcasses.
As Fox reported:

The dead animals were wrapped in newspapers from the 1930s and 40s and were among half-used spices, and other items.
After removing the items they sent hundreds of artifacts and carcasses to an expert in Kutztown.

The expert attributed the rotting animals in their walls to Pow-wow or Dutch magic, a ritual originating in the culture of the Pennsylvania Dutch to treat ailments and gain physical and spiritual protection. The Pennsylvania Dutch were a group of German-speaking settlers to Pennsylvania in the 1600 and 1700’s, and are often of Lutheran, Mennonite, or Amish faiths.
The Washington Post notes on the magic:

Many of the spells deal with the care of livestock, finding water, or the treatment of minor ailments, reflecting the conditions and concerns of early American settlers.
But powwow also has within it a tradition of darker spells, and even of such things as conjuring demons.

One notable ritual in their tradition is this hex to create loyalty in a dog:

To attach a dog to a person, provided nothing else was used before to effect it: Try to draw some of your blood, and let the dog eat it along with his food, and he will stay with you.

The mold found on the rotting carcasses in the Bretzuis home has caused illness among the family members, and they say that the odor hasn’t gone away.

Florida Devil Worshipping

Friends noticed that Danielle Harkins, a 35-year-old schoolteacher near St. Petersburg, Florida, started acting strangely in June of 2012, developing an interest in demonic rituals.
Soon after, she was arrested for abuse of seven of her former students, as the Tampa Bay Times reported:

Danielle Harkins told the kids they needed to rid their bodies of demons as the group gathered before dusk Saturday around a small fire near the St. Petersburg Pier. They should cut their skin to let the evil spirits out, police said she told the children. Then, they needed to burn the wounds to ensure that those spirits would not return.
When Harkins held a lighter to one teen's hand, wind blew the flame out, police said. That prompted her to douse his hand in perfume before setting it on fire. The boy suffered second-degree burns, police said.
Another teen was cut on the neck with a broken bottle, police said. Harkins used a flame to heat a small key, which she then used to cauterize the wound.

The police were notified because a friend of one of the students who participated in the ritual raised alarms. However none of the students themselves told their parents about the event or would comment following the arrest of Harkins for aggravated battery and child abuse.
NBC reported:

Investigators said they've spoken to Harkins, but she didn't spell out what type of religion would require such drastic measures.
"She hasn't informed us exactly what she was trying to accomplish with this," Puetz [of the St. Petersburg Police Department] said.

The Death of Elisa Lam

Elisa Lam was last seen on January 31, 2013 in the lobby of the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. She was vacationing through the West Coast, documenting the trip on her blog, and checking in with her parents every day. On January 31 those calls stopped. Lam had vanished. Soon the police were involved and her parents arrived to help with the search.
They had nothing. That February, LAPD released elevator surveillance footage of Lam before her disappearance. The footage shows Lam behaving strangely in the elevator, appearing to talk with invisible people, peering around the corner of the door, crouching in the corner, and opening and closing the door. But what exactly is going on in this video raises more questions than answers. Theories range from psychotic episodes, to demonic possession, to unknown assailants just out of the camera's view:

Around that time, hotel guests started reported weird things happening with the Cecil Hotel water supply. As CNN reports:

"The shower was awful," said Sabina Baugh, who spent eight days there during the investigation. "When you turned the tap on, the water was coming black first for two seconds and then it was going back to normal."The tap water "tasted horrible," Baugh said. "It had a very funny, sweety, disgusting taste. It's a very strange taste. I can barely describe it."But for a week, they never complained. "We never thought anything of it," she said. "We thought it was just the way it was here."

On the morning of February 19, a hotel employee climbed to the roof and used a ladder to investigate the hotel's water storage tanks. That's where authorities found the decomposing, naked body of Lam, whose personal items were found nearby. After an autopsy, her death was labeled accidental. NBC Los Angeles reported at the time about the strange circumstances in the hotel's past:

The tank has a metal latch that can be opened, but authorities said access to the roof is secured with an alarm and lock.The single-room-occupancy hotel has an unusual history. "Night Stalker" Richard Ramirez, who was found guilty of 14 slayings in the 1980s, lived on the 14th floor for several months in 1985. And international serial killer Jack Unterweger is suspected of murdering three prostitutes during the time he lived there in 1991. He killed himself in jail in 1994.In 1962, a female occupant jumped out of one the hotel's windows, killing herself and a pedestrian on whom she landed.

In February 2021, a Netflix doc called Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel explored Elisa's tragic case and the history of the "cursed" Cecil Hotel.

An Exorcism in Indianapolis

Last year, the Indianapolis Star published a lengthy report on a family terrorized by three children allegedly possessed by demons. The account of Latoya Ammons and her family tells disturbing stories of children climbing up the walls, getting thrown across rooms, and children threatening doctors in deep unnatural voices. It would seem like something straight out of a movie–a work of fantasy, except all of these accounts were more or less corroborated with "nearly 800 pages of official records obtained by the Indianapolis Star and recounted in more than a dozen interviews with police, DCS personnel, psychologists, family members and a Catholic priest."
One of the more chilling sections of the report includes a segment about the possessed 9-year-old:

According to Washington's original DCS report—an account corroborated by Walker, the nurse—the 9-year-old had a "weird grin" and walked backward up a wall to the ceiling. He then flipped over Campbell, landing on his feet. He never let go of his grandmother's hand.

Another segment of the piece reads:

The 12-year-old would later tell mental health professionals that she sometimes felt as if she were being choked and held down so she couldn't speak or move. She said she heard a voice say she'd never see her family again and wouldn't live another 20 minutes.

Utah Murder-Suicide

In September of 2014, a Utah teen returned to his home to find his parents and three siblings dead. "In a notebook, a 'to-do list' had been scribbled on the pages ... The list looked as if the parents were readying to go on vacation—items such as 'feed the pets' and 'find someone to watch after the house' were written," The Salt Lake Tribune reported. It appeared to be murder-suicide, but there was no suicide note, no prior indication that they would do this, no explanation. Police could not figure out why two parents would kill themselves and three of their four children.
For a year, no one knew exactly what happened to the family, or what would drive the parents to do something so unthinkable. In January, police released more chilling details in the case. According to accounts from family members and an investigation by police, the parents were driven by a belief that the apocalypse was coming and an obsession with a convicted killer. As the Washington Post reported:

Friends and family told police that the parents were worried about the "evil in the world" and wanted to escape a "pending apocalypse." But most assumed they just wanted to move somewhere "off the grid." Investigators also found letters written by Kristi Strack to one of the state's most infamous convicted killers, Dan Lafferty, who was convicted in the 1984 fatal stabbing of his sister-in-law and her 1-year-old daughter. According to trial testimony, he killed the victims at the order of his brother, Ron Lafferty, who claimed to have had a revelation from God. The story became a book called "Under the Banner of Heaven."Police said Kristi Strack became friends with Dan Lafferty, and she and her husband even visited him in prison.

The Phone Stalker

In 2007, ABC news documented a series of cell phone calls to families with terrifyingly specific death threats. The unidentified callers knew exactly what families were doing and what they were wearing.

The families say the calls come in at all hours of the night, threatening to kill their children, their pets and grandparents. Voice mails arrive, playing recordings of their private conversations, including one with a local police detective.The caller knows, the families said, what they're wearing and what they're doing. And after months of investigating, police seem powerless to stop them.

This went on with the Kuykenall family for months, who reported a caller with a scratchy voice threatening to slit their throats.

When the Fircrest, Wash., police tried to find the culprit, the calls were traced back to the Kuykendalls' own phones -- even when they were turned off.It got worse. The Kuykendalls and two other Fircrest families told ABC News that they believe the callers are using their cell phones to spy on them. They say the hackers know their every move: where they are, what they're doing and what they're wearing. The callers have recorded private conversations, the families and police said, including a meeting with a local detective.

"The Watcher"

After moving into their $1.3 million dream home, a New Jersey family started receiving creepy death threats from someone who identified themselves as "The Watcher." As CBS News reported earlier this year:

Since moving in, the owners said they have received numerous letters from the mysterious person. "The Watcher" claimed the home "has been the subject of my family for decades," and "I have been put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming," Castro reported.The new owners have several children, and other letters asked, "Have they found out what's in the walls yet?" and "I am pleased to know your names now, and the name of the young blood you have brought to me."

The family was forced to flee from their home and later filed a lawsuit against the previous owners.

Issei the Cannibal

In 1974, 24-year-old Wako University student Issei Sagawa allegedly followed a German woman to her home in Tokyo, Japan, broke into her apartment while she was sleeping, and attempted to cut a piece of flesh off her body to consume. When she awoke, she reportedly fought him and he was later captured by the police. According to a 2012 Vice documentary that covered Issei's bizarre story, he was mistakenly charged with attempted rape and his wealthy father paid the victim a settlement outside of court to have the charges dropped.
Seven years later, in 1981, he allegedly committed a murder in France—shooting and eating a fellow University student, Renée Hartevelt. Issei creepily documented the entire experience with photographs and he was captured by authorities once again while attempting to dump the rest of her body in the Bois de Boulogne lake. He was deported back to Japan and committed to a mental institution. For reason unknown, his psychologists in Japan declared that he was sane. Furthermore, a legal technicality involving the French government refusing to turn over the documents from his case meant that his murder charges were dropped completely. He checked himself out of the mental hospital and has reportedly been walking the streets as a free man ever since. Issei has even become a controversial celebrity, writing over 20 books. According to Japan Today, he most recently fantasized about an unnamed TV actress, saying:
"I'll catch a glimpse of her thigh and think, 'That sure looks tasty.' But I don't feel like I actually want to eat it. As I accomplished the act of cannibalism once, there's no meaning to maintaining the desire for it anymore. In my book, I wrote that it [human flesh] was tasty, but that was not really true; I'd much rather eat Matsuzaka (Kobe) beef. But because I'd desired to consume human flesh for so long, I'd managed to convince myself that it would necessarily be delicious."
Issei Sagawa was also referenced in the Rolling Stones song "Too Much Blood," with the lyrics reading: "And when he ate her he took her bones/To the Bois de Boulogne." He is currently 73 years old and continues to live in Kawaski City, Japan. To this day, no one knows why France did not allow Japan to give him a trial.

This may be a silly question, so no answer is too simplistic! (There are a lot of basic things I don't know.) We are just starting the hunt and have had to make the usual adjustments based on the realities of the market. We were looking in one area we loved (Putnam County) and started working with a realtor. However, we realized we need to be closer to NYC as it looks like our employers will now require more days in the office. So we also started looking in another area (Westchester), with a different realtor. I'm now thinking Connecticut is probably a better choice as it has lower taxes and school district is not a concern for us. This is an entirely different market, so we would need a different realtor there.
I'm wondering if I need to formally "break up" with the other two realtors if we start looking in Connecticut? They are all different markets, but we haven't entirely made up our minds, so it might still be worth looking in all three places while we figure out what we want and are able to afford, etc.
What is the expectation? We haven't signed any agreements, and haven't really put the two we've spoken with to work - have only seen 1-2 places so far as inventory is low. Thanks for any insight!

I'm trying to remember the title of a short story I read in a horror anthology somewhere around 1989-1993. I remember it was in an anthology in the new book room of the Wheaton Public Library when I was in high school but nothing more specific than that. The book may have been categorized as science fiction rather than horror; I don't remember.
The premise of the story is that there was some worker at a film studio digitally reworking movies for a new release to an audience that didn't like black and white films or subtlety (he had the Dwight Frye Renfield serving Christopher Lee's Dracula), but adding in gore, maggots, nudity and the line "Fuck you and the bat you rode in on" from Van Helsing. The premise was that messing around with everything like this was offending either the avatar of cinema or the ghosts of the performers who were being reused without their permission. It seems really prescient now, doesn't it? Or at least it might, if I could remember the fucking title and got a chance to read it again. Does this ring any bells with anyone here?
