barnwife Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Yes, but what kind of plants? Have you looked into the meaning of the flowers, so as to determine if it's a message from the mother ship to the humans or vice versa? AKA, I sincerely hope this post will be edited with a picture. (Isn't there a board rule that all monolith posts must have a photo? No? Well, there should be.) 4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten some hostile, "What are you doing?" and "Can I help you?" comments when I've taken photos. I will watch for an opportune time when nobody is looking to see about taking a picture, but they're outside a LOT during the day..... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they couldn't possibly consider it creepy if you snuck over around 1 or 2 am and snapped a few photos. Maybe even a selfie or two with the statue would be good. Actually, I would send you absolute non-creepy internet hugs if you did... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but a few years ago there was a news story about a nice suburban family who really were Russian spies! In our case, they just needed our neighbor for a translation job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnwife Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) @Terabith Thanks for the photo! Does this mean you weren't arrested while taking it? I am sort of disappointed that the flowers are so ordinary looking, though perhaps the yellow is itself some sort of message from one side to the other. I would also like to note that pretending not to be a Russian spy is exactly what a Russian spy would do, so if the shoe fits...

Terabith Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 I was not arrested. I did subsequently realize that their door was wide open, though, so probably they were awake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops. I wonder if they are on some other chat boards talking about the neighbor that keeps taking pics of their front yard? I am always so happy to see these posts from you! They just amuse me so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
