So when people send me their stories, I have to print them out. And so you will hear some paper shuffling and that's just gusta reel of what this podcast is about. All right. So our first story comes from Jersey, Joe from New Jersey, being an old Jersey cat like myself. When I think of mafia, my mind reverts back to my teenage years, Bloomfield was the place with plenty of quicksand and Siemens for witnesses was the case wrong skin. Wrong kin could definitely get you deleted and placed in the quicksand. Or have you S H I T T I N G bricks and Siemens shoes, whatever the case, it always came down to your freaking race. You dig as Mr. Kirk wants emphasize left hook, right? Cross. You have to show seaman. Who's the boss. I'm a King who rightfully sits on his throne. Siemens sucks. I'm on my way home. Pardon? My harsh tone. But living life is golden. Never to be clone . Okay, Jersey, Joe, I liked piece. You had some rhyming going on and obviously some deep pass reflection. So I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to write this piece in on, you know, share it with us too . Thank you. Our next story comes from Sharon Ann . Who's a retired educator in Louisiana. I have never been involved in a situation with the mafia. I am so thankful for that. I can only imagine what it would be like to witness something horrible and later find out it was done by the mafia. For example, what if I saw someone burying a body in the backyard next to my house? I see them bury it one day. And the next day a semen truck is there to pour a slab over it. What do I do now? Do I live with this secret forever? Do I tell someone once I learned the mafia family lives next door, I think I would be ready to move now. I love my house. I love my neighborhood, but I love peace and honesty more. Thank you, Sharon, for sharing your creative piece. And I would move to that was the case. I appreciate you. This piece comes from Dr. Renee in North Carolina, this witness wasn't going out like that. So she planned to get the upper hand. The mafia family was poisoned at their favorite restaurant with a birthday event, took place. Also, this was a special poison. Got only turned the murderous and evil people to seam it. The poison did not impact anyone who was innocent or good. The poison would stay in your DNA. And anytime you turn evil or did harm your body turned to seaman . Thank you, Dr. Renee , I enjoy that. Wow. Especially the part about the poison. You could tell she's a doctor and you know, she tied in some DNA and it would kick in only if the person was evil. I appreciate you. Thank you for sharing. Our next contributor is coach Sherry Jones. Work-life development coach in Charlotte, North Carolina. She's a recurring contributor and I appreciate her. All right , here we go. My partner and I purchased the land to develop family's forever homes. I was not thrilled , but the price was right. The land. Wasn't my first choice because I remember stories from my Papa. When he said decades ago, he witnessed bodies dumped on this land by the mafia. As we lay the Siemens for the home's foundation, those body remains will be forever lost with that energy underfoot . My thoughts went to the families who have faith in us. These families are excited to start their best chapter, but I wonder with all those lost souls, how would their lives be haunted? Thank you, Sherry . You know, I love your stories and I appreciate you participating in supporting me each and every week. Thank you again. And lastly, you will hear from yours truly. Here we go. The craziness of it all living in an area of the country, where the mafia runs the streets and city hall. Along with the neighborhood Harlem , I witnessed two young boys riding their bikes in the street cluttered with expensive cars. One of the boys accidentally deemed Bobby [inaudible] car. Oh God. Oh God. The poor boy had no idea that the tiny unintentional mistake would earn him a new pair of semen sneakers. The other two boys sped off as fast as their legs and feet could peddle their two wheel bicycle. But the one boy who accidentally tapped Bobby linguine Cirillo's car would not make the final trip home with his friends. Instead, he was invited for pizza and Bobby's backyard and was never seen again ever. That's from yours truly. Well, I hope you enjoy this week's episode. And I appreciate all of the contributors taking the time escaping from the busy-ness of your day to sit down and hand-write and send me your stories to share. Thank you so much.
