I think “quantum tunneling” is one of the sexiest things I’ve heard in a while. 🔥 I wanna be quantum tunneled, please…

😢 Oh, no. He’d said a friend would contact one of us.

Woohoo! :worship:

Way to go, MasterWordsmith! You are member number 21! (I think)

Welcome to da club! 😎

Quote by Beachgirl1959

I had finished watching the 9-11 Memorial on tv and was overcome with sadness. Thank you for caring. Your responses made me feel better.

Canada was more than a great neighbor at that time. I remember. Really sorry politics have made it seem as if Americans don't want to be friends anymore. You know what they say about a bushel of apples - one bad apple spoils the whole bunch. Most of us really do like and appreciate our continental neighbors.

And I really like the folks here in Rump's ... now, back to my quiet corner booth. ❤️😎

I’m with you about loving our neighbors. And why ever make an enemy instead of a friend? Only a bully does that.

Quote by Beachgirl1959

As a New Yorker... 25 years  

I had just dropped off my son at kindergarten. I watched in horror as the very familiar NYC skyline with its two distinctive towers, now appeared on fire, black smoke rising to the heavens, suddenly changed shape. My own gasp of shock joined the collective sorrowful wail rising from those standing around me - as they realized their loved ones might be there.

It took days.

Eventually, 70+ beautiful souls - neighbors, members of my community, former classmates, childhood pals, fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, Twin Tower employees, NYPD, Port Authority, FDNY dedicated members -   were confirmed lost.

Rockaway Beach, NY will never forget ...

❤️❤️❤️

I may be wrong, but I don’t think I’m the only SciFi geek around here. 🤓🤖👽

Enjoying your stories!

Quote by wxt55uk

Forced to study Macbeth and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in school, I was nearly put off reading literature for life. Luckily, as an older teenager, I discovered H.G. Wells and, most importantly, J.R.R. Tolkien, and my imagination was released. 😊😈

I can understand that! Ahhh, Tolkien, especially. ❤️

Mornin’, Rumpies

Don’t hate on me but… I’ve never loved Shakespeare. 😳 I think he’s overrated…

Quote by RowanThorn

I’ll need to give this a shot. Sci-fi at 500 words is interesting. Normally world building is an important part of the genre. I want to give this a try later. Brain storming for now.

You only have 75 words! Not 500 😈

Hiya, Rumpies

Life sucks big hairy balls right now, so I’ll just drop a goody and retreat back into my fortress of solitude.

Quote by 1OGHMNW

Morning Bear, I’ll try a cup of your Lumberjack Coffee to start off my morning. We will be headed your way in 11 days. Our cruise will visit your Eastern ports of call in Saint John, Halifax and Sydney. There is a lot of history to enjoy at those locations. Thanks for the coffee!

My sister and her hubby went in a similar cruise and loved it, Dave! I think they went in October and loved fall colors. Enjoy!

Morning, Bear

Somehow I knew Rumpies would be into SciFi smut

Quote by Seeker4

Oo, I like this one. Just starting to polish a new full-length but I'll definitely take a crack at this.

(And how much more of a geek stereotype can you possibly be, Kimmi? Programmer, SF fan, you're just perfect. Why weren't you in my life 39 years ago?😜)

I am flying my geek flag, aren’t I? A Math major, too. Oh, the geek just goes on and on, Mr. Ape!

Quote by WannabeWordsmith

Yeah! It's very difficult. For inspiration, look up Hint Fiction. There are resources online about how to successfully craft such a (tiny) beast.

Thank you for running this, Kimmi. Not sure I'll be entering (though I might) but I'll follow along with the thread all the same.

“Not sure I’ll be entering”

Think again, Smut Buddy!

Quote by welshman

75 words?!

Well I made it to the heat, Bear, although no one mentioned the strong winds. Just trying out the sun beds, so an ice cold glass of lemonade please, Bear😎

Hi, David

Last day of sweltering heat for a while.

Enjoy your trips, David and Kat! ❤️

We are finally supposed to have a break from heat here. Woohoo. Don’t you fucking tease me, fall!

Morning, Rumpies

I’ve laid out a goody for y’all in the bar…

Good afternoon, Rumpies

Swamped at work this month, installing new software release. Ick.

Congratulations on publishing your book, Rowan!

Morning, Rumpies

Happy Anniversary to Bear and Lady Jay!

My parents used to drive a Genesis. Fab cars!

Have a great weekend, y’all!

Morning, Rumpies

Caffeine me up, please. Just started annual software upgrade at work. Will be busy beaver for next few months.

Quote by 1OGHMNW

Good Morning, Speaking of getting away, my wife and I and a friend are headed north on a 8 day cruise in 25 days. I’m wondering what the reception will be like at the 3 ports of call. I’ve been looking forward to some Tim Hortons Coffee and Timbits. That’s it for now…Take Care and Stay Safe and Healthy!

Fun! After sneaking away with David and his wife, I’ll tag along with y’all!

Hiya, Rumpies

Kimmi needs a holiday. David, can I sneak away with y’all?

Quote by JustAnotherSapphic

My boyfriend and I will have been together for two years on September 1. Doesn't feel like it's been that long - probably cause it feels like I've known him forever.

Awww, so happy for you! ❤️

Feeling pretty, oh so pretty… NOT 🤣🤣🤣

This is my 10th day of it. Dr says 2-4 weeks to look mostly normal. Yay!

Have a great weekend, peeps! Cooler here!

Quote by fuzzy1954

Fuzzy Lion, care to share any of your good meds
