I have to admit I had a lot of fun searching for — and finding — weird lists to share last Saturday.

If I stop to think about it, there’s so much weird stuff around us I wonder how we stay sane.

I suppose it’s like getting your toes wet without going knee-deep in cold water. It’s invigorating, shocking, and interesting only in small doses. That’s probably how people deal with the weird and scary things in their life.

Like Horror movies.

I’m a scardy cat at heart. The thought of dismemberment  — actually ANY type of physical pain — is way too much for this pussy cat. And not necessary.

I can get chills from watching an old black and white movie like “The Haunting” or watching someone spelunking squeezing through a too-tight hole in “The Descent.”

There’s enough creepy things out there that I don’t need blood and guts to get a rise.

That circles back to one of the lists I shared Saturday — 10+ Creepiest “When You See Them” list. I am assuming most of the “faces” were photoshopped, but … what if they were not? Too weird to think about. True tales of alien abductions? Well, the stories are creepy enough. Haunted houses? I don’t believe in spirits but I do believe in creaking doors and locked rooms.

At this age I still enjoy getting spooked without getting terrified. I even went out last week and walked through my spooky woods by myself with only a flashlight to go see the Super Moon rising. Spooked? Yes. Terrified? Not any more.

I hope you find a way to sneak a little “weird” into your life without getting hurt or messed up or terrified.

A little prickle up the back of the neck never hurt anyone …
