When I was in college in the early 1970s, there was an active serial killer working at the gas station across the street from my dorm, (which wasn't found out until after 3 women had been killed).

Well, he hardly could have been an active serial killer before killing at least two or three people.

I sometimes hate how my brain works.

:(
 
It was very scary because one of the women killed lived in my dorm, so he had her keys to the dorm and rooms. The dorm was 25 stories high and was divided into groups of 5 floors called "houses", so he had plenty of access. I still went to my night class though with bodyguards provided by friends. And, being young, we still ran around like we were invincible, and without a braincell in our skulls.

I don't think the term "serial killer" was even in use at that time (so long ago). But, thinking back, that's what he was.
 
*puts on Nerd Hat*
Early profiler Robert Ressler claimed to have been using the term in the late '70s, while working on the first serious research on the subject for the FBI. However, Google says the term wasn't used in the press until 1981.

Ressler studied serial killers along with his partner John Douglas, author of "Mindhunter," the book which was the basis of the Netlfix show.

Not that I'm a creepy, obsessive fan of show about the history of serial killers, or anything... :shifty:

I get an anxiety fit when people shout at each other. (Long story involving helpless child and parents who'd shout before and while beating it up.)
My neighbour keeps shouting at his cats when they step on the esc key and his freshly built website gets deleted. I do wish he'd finally learn to save the files after each step. And cats can be taught that the desk is a taboo area.
I wear industrial strength ear muffs that filter some 50 db so as to not hear him.
 
When I was 16-18, I worked at Albertsons, and one of my coworkers was Belinda Rimes, LeAnn Rimes' mom. Sometimes LeAnn would come with her mom to the store - she was only 11-13 at the time. A few months after I left Albertsons, I saw her up on stage of an outdoor music festival, singing the national anthem, and then a couple years after that she made it big.
 
it only applies to dark chocolate or chocolate with a very high cocoa rate. It's the Flavonoids that are believed to do the trick. The theory is considered controversial, though.
However all medics agree that Flavonoids - and therefore dark chocolate - have a beneficial effect on blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, so that there is an indirect effect on cardiovascular health.
 
Dark chocolate huh? That figures. I don't even like dark chocolate. I guess I'll just have to continue destroying my heart with milk chocolate.
 
LOL yes, same here :) I'll propably go one step further and use chocolate mouse. As my great-granny used to say: one does have to die of something, after all!
