Add a filter to member search that would return only members that were currently online.

You mean like when you click "active visitors" at the top of the home page?

I want to throw something on the jukebox...

I know I'm a bit "old school" here, but it is a party...and I think this works...

This was brought to my attention today, written by Russell Brand. It's really touching.

Funny, I just came over here to post that...someone in the Poets group over on LinkedIn just shared that...

I just posted it on Facebook with this note...

Someone in the Poets group over on LinkedIn shared this...I agree with his premise about the way society treats addiction, though I'm not sure I agree that merely treating the addiction is the answer...I think addiction is a symptom of other issues personally...just my two cents for today... My 2 cents

Yeah, I agree about taking the forum games out of the active list...and no, none of the forum game regulars will ever read this thread...

I don't think any of the games should be eliminated...they seem to keep a lot of people busy and off the streets, though I don't know how some people can play them for any length of time...

I get a headache if I try to play something like "Word association game" twice in a row...way too deep for me...

Good Morning Lushketeers...anyone make coffee yet? Been up most of the night...trying to keep up with my friends... icon_smile

Just posted this over on Stories Space, and I'll repeat it here...I can't keep up with you guys...

Oh, here we go again...a big congratulations to Yasmin, aka Sherzhad (Black Velvet on Lush) for her very well-deserved Editor Pick on her latest poem Silent Screams...

It seems like every time I turn around lately, someone on my friends list is either getting published in a magazine, selling a story, or winning an award...

Maggie Rascal got an Editor Pick recently...
Lady Sharon sold a story to Every Night Erotica, which just posted yesterday I believe...
Cowgirl Brumby also sold a story to ENE, in addition to getting a publishing deal...
Clarabelle sold two stories to Every Night Erotica recently...
Sprite won first prize in the story contest on the sister site...
Xuani also won money in that contest...
Don Abdul got a story published in this month's issue of Bare Back Magazine...

I finally figured it out...being on my friends list is clearly good luck... icon_smile

I'm getting tired of all the celebration parties though...getting too old for all this partying...take it easy on me people, stop being so good... happy8

Congrats again to everyone...don't think I missed anyone, though I might have...hard to keep up lately...

Cheers,
Alan.

Yes, capital letters should indeed be used properly...

Hey Spriteness...if you really want to get a spanking...

TRY SUBMITTING A WHOLE STORY IN BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS, THAT MIGHT WORK...

Good Evening Lushkins...what's going on here, are we drinking our drinks or bathing in them?

Never mind, both sound good...a giant pool of martinis would sound nice to dive into right now...

Hmmm...there is a though...in the meantime, I'll take a couple to drink... Pour Wine

Alan, your comment just offended me.

Is that your offended look? Alright, let's keep Jeff happy...

Rignon...when you write up your story about the young women who falls for her long-lost rich grandfather, make sure you throw in a group of cross-dressing pygmies for a group sex scene...

Feel better Jeff???

Hey Rignon...I think if you follow Ashleigh Doll's advice you'll do just fine...and don't take Jeff too seriously, he's just a trouble maker...

I would add one minor detail to Doll's list though...I would most definitely make it so that she finds out that he's actually her long, lost grandfather so this way you can post the story in the " " category...

You'll definitely pick up more views/votes that way...

You could throw some interesting twists and turns into the story...as long as you "keep it real" as Doll points out...perhaps she considers leaving him for a bit after getting an e-mail that a distant relative in Nigeria had an accident and left her $25,000,000.00 only to find out later it was an internet hoax after she sent her whole life savings to Nigeria to cover postage to ship the money...

You know, everyday stuff like that...just "keep it real"...

I never respect myself in the morning. That way I don't have to worry about the things I do the rest of the day making me lose respect for myself.

I can appreciate your philosophy Mr. Bear...it's like I always set my goals for the day rather low so that they are consistently achievable...

Things like getting up in the morning and getting coffee...I can usually handle that...

Good Evening, OK morning, my Luskin Friends...looks like Sharon survived the reunion...I'm sure she has a good story waiting to be written up to share with us...

Nice to see Miss Holly back in the bar...

Btw...I just posted this over in Stories Space...I know it's hard to tear you drunks away from the bar long enough to go over there and check stuff out, but I think this might be of interest to a few folks here...

Oh, I think I finally found a contest and award made for my friends..."Have you got the words to be Beer Writer of the Year 2011 and win £1,000?"...yeah, they're searching for the best beer writer...I guess you have to drink a lot of beer as part of research for the project, but it's worth the effort...that's a lot of beer money if you win...go for it Stories Space Cadets... icon_smile

British Guild Of Beer Writers
http://www.beerwriters.co.uk/awards.php

Yes, the search for the best beer writer has been launched...

Lol...good luck with that one...seems right up a few people's alley I would venture to guess...

Cheers,
Alan.

That's awful for them to edit your poems like that. I think you have it much better posting it here!

Thanks D-Cherry...actually, I'm not going to be posting poems anywhere on the net for a while...my latest goal is to try to get a poem "in print" and once you publish a poem on the net your chances of getting it in any legitimate journal are pretty much "shot to shit" as they say in the industry...

Btw...I just posted this over in the forum on Stories Space, under the "Random Blurt" thread...

*********

The next few weeks will be a record for the number of submissions I'm waiting to hear back on...and some are potentially lucrative from a financial standpoint... icon_smile

1. August 5, will be the results of this contest on Stories Space...$100 potential...

2. August 15 will be the results for the Wergle Flomp Humor Poetry Contest...I submitted "The Facebook Poem"...first prize is $1500 btw...I have my fingers and toes crossed on that one...

3. I sent in a poem titled "If I Should Forget" to Poetry Magazine on June 18...it is supposed to take 6 to 8 weeks to hear back...so, I should be hearing back about that soon...$300 potential there...

4. I sent three erotic stories to Rachel Kramer Bussel for an erotic romance short story compilation..."Dance Class"...an Editor Pick on the sister site, btw..."Is She Happier Without Me" and "Carnival Knowledge"...that's a potential $150 in the unlikely event she picks up all three...so far, she has rejected everything I've sent her...and I've sent her several stories since I started submitting stuff to paying gigs on September 7, 2010...

5. I sent in "The Birthday Party" to Short Story America for their Story Of The Week...I think that pays $100...should be hearing soon...

6. I have a total of nine stories that I sent to the erotic e-Zine Oysters & Chocolate that I'm waiting to hear back on...and I still haven't sent them anything this month yet, you can send three per month...in the unlikely event they want all nine, that would be a cool $90...they pay ten bucks a pop...
They bought two of my stories this year..."Morning In The Park" and "Getting A Raise"...they rejected eight so far...

I think that's it for now...hopefully something will come through...like they say though, "You have to be in it to win it"... happy8

Cheers,
Alan.

I once dozed off at work and woke up with one of those big, snap-your-head-forward-and-lurch-to-your-feet, "where the hell am I???" kinda movements.

Oh yeah...been there, done that one...

I think I might agree with the comment about dancing with your best friend's mom at his graduation though...or dancing with your own mom...or grandmother...

Ouch... Embarassed

The second person voice is very intimate, and suited to poetry and letter writing.

Is it intimate Gypsy? Hmmm...I'll have to think about that one...

Does not work well for stories, from what I've seen anyway...

I'll read a multi-part story if it's by an author I like...but I prefer not to start the first chapter until I know the whole story is done...

I've seen people post a couple of chapters and then not finish the story until months later...or sometimes not at all in some cases...

Not a good thing...

Better than me, I've no doubt you are,
Your humour and vision outstrip mine by far,

What is it I like in your startling style?
Anent we shall know, but after a whyle.

For a smart turn of phrase you do have the edge;
My fastest replies leave no one in dread.

Enjoy it, you say?
There be not a doubt,

We greet you with smiles,
And never with pouts.

You know Gypsy, this is all your fault here...I'm following your lead and taunting the Rascal...
