Weary Road

The Legend of Wisconsin’s Weary Road The 3 rd time's the charm, or at least that’s what they say about Wisconsin’s Weary Rd. Those in search of this mysterious man will find themselves traveling down a long dark road in Evansville Wisconsin lined with large villainous trees. Rumor has it that back in the day Old Man Weary was a local resident. Weary loved entertaining children and because of this he was accused of pedophilia. Neighbors began to whisper, claiming that Weary lured children to his property. Eventually, the parents had enough and decided to put an end to Weary once and for all. Late one night they set fire to his home tragically killing Old Man Weary and some of the local children. To make matters worse, it was later determined that Weary was innocent and there was no truth behind the accusations directed toward him. The home Weary resided in was reduced to rubble and can no longer be seen today. However, this fiery fate was not the end of Old Man Weary. In f...

Twas one heck of a weekend my friends!  I was finally able to get into the October spirit the past few days and it felt great! I'm talking haunted house action, paranormal mysteries and a whole lot of fun! To start I visited the Abandoned Haunted House complex on the outskirts of Milwaukee. I cannot praise this haunt enough! Abandoned is a truly unique haunted house experience. The actors are committed to their craft and the sets they use are mind-blowing. wisconsinfrights.com You get the ultimate bang for your buck when you visit Abandoned because they feature not 1, not 2 but 3 haunted attractions! Two of the attractions are indoors and the other is an outdoor corn maze that they added just this year. wisconsinhauntedhouses.com Bonus: here's a fun little nugget for you.... The grounds Abandoned is build on are legitimately haunted! Just this last weekend I spoke with a gentleman from the Brew City Paranormal group who investigated there and he had video evi...

Eat the Cake

Greetings Friends!  I hope you're all having a splendid day thus far. Today I want to take some time to touch on a topic that's a bit more serious, eating disorders. Sadly, I've known many people who've struggled with them throughout the years, including myself.  At first I wasn't sure if I should peg my experience as an "eating disorder" or if that was too extreme. However, the more I thought about it I began to realized that when you constantly obsess over what you're eating your behavior can be described as obsessive. Obsessiveness seems worthy of being associated with a "disorder" so I'll call it what it is. I had an eating disorder, here is my story. My story started back in 2014. I was the thinnest I'd ever been and I constantly tracked everything I ate on a fitness app. Going out to eat was a disaster. I would frantically search for the restaurant's menu online so I could carefully calculate my entree befo...

Do you ever look back on your life and think "what the crap was I thinking!?!" Thanks to Facebook's "Timehop" feature this is a fun little hobby I get to do almost on the daily... I realize that I used to have no shame and as the masses like to call it, I gave 0... starts with F rhymes with bucks. Yes, many of the things I used to post on social media were quite odd however, anyone who knows me probably is not surprised by this because I myself am a rather strange being. Alas, there are things I see that just make me shake my head and ask myself "whyyyyyyy".... For instance, out of boredom one fine day I was going through my old "liked pages" section, I kid you not one of my "likes" was dead bodies. Yes. Dead freakin' bodies. At this point you're probably like what theeeeee and getting ready to continue your internet quest elsewhere but hear me out.... I went through this really random zombie phase where my friends ...

Cabin on the Creek

Greetings to All!  I just want to take a moment to provide a shout out to Cabin on the Creek LLC in Fremont WI. This past weekend I booked the cabin to throw a fiesta in celebration of Jake and I's quickly approaching wedding day! We had a blast and our stay at this cabin more than exceeded all of our expectations. We had 13 guests total including ourselves, the cabin has 6 beds and can comfortably sleep 12. Not everyone in our party stayed overnight so this worked out perfectly for us. We were blown away from all of the amenities the owners provided from an oven, refrigerator and even pots and pans! There's a TV, boombox and a very unique basement bathroom (you'll have to visit in person to see what I mean ;p) this place seriously has it all! Not to mention the owners are extremely kind and went out of their way to make sure we had a great visit, complete with a tractor ride around the farm! So, I guess what I'm trying to say is THANK YOU to Cabin on the ...
