It now looks a lot better on the bottom of the front page.

With what MF and SP have mentioned, instead of distorting the image, perhaps the best option, instead of lots of complicated coding, is either:

a) Members have to upload a square image as their avatar.

b) Members can upload any shaped image they like for their avatar, but a square selection tool is superimposed on it, so they can choose which square area of the image to use as their avatar. That should be able to be resized to any size square.

Anything else would be too complicated to code I think.


Option B is what Facebook, Twitter, and other such sites do to allow the user to set their image or avatar to the way they want. Gav does so much for us, let's not over tax him.

Option B all the way!!!
During the stints that my laptop was down (dead) and I was forced to use my tablet to even check out my PMs or see the awesome comments people post on my page, navigating the gear without ending up on the settings page was a pain. I really don't care what the icon looks like, I just want an easier to get my profile page... especially when I'm on a mobile device (cell phone, tablet, etc.) I do agree that using a mini image of our avatar would be a perfect way for us to go straight to our page. Similar to how it looks when you comment or reply to a comment (either one would work.)

Having multiple tabs open on a tablet can be a pain in the butt and is often more work than necessary. Now, on my laptop... I have no problem with a few extra tabs. Though, I'm not as cool as SP, but then... who is.

Side note & way off topic here... this is my 3,000th forum post!!! Go me!!!
Honestly... I'm not sure. I do know I'd wait until I was older before I gave it up.
Those with no profile pics just haven't found the right one that represents them the best. However... I'm really a green fairy. Don't tell anyone.

More Historical


Between the new category & the comp I'm pretty sure this one will happen as more authors come up with great ideas. New categories take some time to grow & develop.

Happy Birthday Poppet!!! Sending you lots of love & wishing you tons of joy!!!




Because I know a few authors better than others, I know when what they write is based on more "truth" than fiction. I'm sure we have a lot of stories here that are more truth than fiction, but we assume they are fictional because this is a story site with stories that are clearly fictional (sci-fi, supernatural, fantasy, etc.) I'm sure most authors here have used an element of their real live and woven it into a fine fictional tale. I've had situations that were the foundation for some of my pieces because they allowed for a great fictional situation.

Honestly, I'd love to see more new authors with more great stories. Happily... that's really not much of an issue.

But I've read your stories! You could come up with dozens (at least) of other, more colorful ways to express that thought to them, I'm sure. Use your creativity - you know, tell them you're going to go home and play fireman and you're going to slide down his pole, or take the old hoss' out for a ride, etc. Hell, even saying you're going to play hide the salami is more creative!

This thread is great, and yeah, the "flowery" language used to describe sex, body parts, people, scents, etc can and does get a little outlandish sometimes. I sort of figure it's just a matter of people trying too hard to be different or unique, or maybe put their own personal stamp on it. I hate to be critical of people for trying too hard, so when I laugh or shake my head I don't do it publicly, at their expense, but privately. I hope people will show me the same courtesy because I feel sure I've been guilty of it as well. On the other hand, it's maybe something your true friends should tell you!

As far as using 'fornicate', I believe I did just recently. Actually I was handing a magazine to a friend of my wife's to give to her husband, and what I said was "Here, this is for Nick, Kate."

Okay, I apologize...


Never apologize for being awesome!

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I could come up with may more colorful metaphors for sex or other things I often I do. I have to be extra creative when I curse or swear. For example, instead of saying, "Stop shoveling the bullshit." I might say, "Stop shoveling the manure." I also have used the term, "baloney," or when I'm really frustrated I'll say, "fecal matter." Trust me, the kids figure out what I want to say, and learn new and creative ways to cuss. I do it so the kids can see that the standard fare of curse words aren't always the only choice.

Maybe being a teacher has helped me develop a good writing style. Maybe being a write has helped me become a good teacher.

Just yesterday, I asked my son, "Have you fornicated yet?"
"No mom, I haven't did any fornicating," he replied.
"When you fornicate, will you tell me?"
"Believe me when I say," he said, looking me in the eyes, "when I fornicate you will be the only person I say 'I've fornicated' to."
"Okay," I smiled. I love that we are so open with each other.


Somehow I could see my son & I having this conversation as well. Thanks for the laugh girl!
Well... everything is back to normal. It seems some of my messages were misdirected to my Spam or Junk folder so once that was addressed everything was back to normal. Thank you Gav for all you do & have done. The site looks amazing!
19 years above, 10 years below. Though I did come very close to a 17 year gap but he was too close to my son's age and I just couldn't bring myself to fuck him.
Oh foolish child, what were you thinking? Did you not think I'd catch you? That essay was written way about your academic level. What will your parents say? What will the AP say? Honestly, I'm so disappointed.

Next time do the fucking work! Plagiarism is never the answer.
Quote by Just_A_Guy_You_Know
Exactly my point. In that particular situation it makes total sense, and sounds like something one middle school teacher might actually say to another in front of kids. You set the context to make the language believable. On the other hand, if those teachers had been alone, or had gone out for a drink after school, and still said 'fornicate' instead of 'screw' it would sound weird.


Oh yeah... if I'm out having a drink with a fellow teacher or two, I might say I'm going to screw or fuck my husband later. Really depends on the person and how comfortable I am with them.
Quote by Just_A_Guy_You_Know
What kind of person drops the word "fornicate" in everyday conversation? What does it reveal about them and how they present themselves to others, or even how they think about themselves?


Not to be a smart-ass or a bitch... but when you're a middle school teacher trying to make an off-colored joke with a fellow teacher with kids in earshot... you can use "fornicate" in everyday conversation. Often... it causes laughter from the adults... and unanswered questions from kids. Mind you, we don't do it often, but we have done it. Usually, it's either a science teacher, the health teacher, or those damn English teachers. Those bitches are always trying to expand everyone's vocabulary.

Oh yeah... for the record... I'm one of those "bitches."
You two whiny bitches got the whole fucking department raked over the coals because you couldn't keep your mouths shut! Now everyone things we are all a pack of nasty bitches. Was the chick in the green dress a bitch? Fuck yeah she was! Did she throw us some dirty looks? Yes! I was the recipient of her stinky-eye. And yet, you two did your back-biting bullshit with the one rival school we were forced to deal with for a fucking day and the entire department got blamed because you two prima donnas couldn't keep your fucking yaps shut! Maybe you two should ask yourselves why our department has experienced so much turn-over in the last two years? Out of the eleven of us, only four have been there longer than two years (and one is currently out on maternity leave.) Those of us still on probation don't need this shit to rain down on our heads. Unlike you two, many of us can be fired for your bullshit.

Do the whole department a fucking favor... please. At the next SDD we must attend in November that none of us really want to do... SHUT THE FUCK UP! Some of us really wanted to learn about these new-to-us techniques. Even if the "Queen" of this trainings makes us go (okay... he's not a "Queen"... but he did set off my gay-dar like nothing else.)

EP in the making babes now where are my cock cookies?


You left them in the other forum. Now I'll have to make a fresh batch you silly thing. No worries... I'll make you a double chocolate batch.
I try to write my dialogue to reflect how people talk. Though, I've never been to a Southern Tent Revival... I do try to use real language as much as possible. But as far as prizes go... I've only earned a few RRs. I guess I don't totally suck.
Annoyed due to a pay freeze and a district that doesn't appreciate all we do.

I work out a lot, and always have laundry around that was just out on a run/ride/swim/lift.

How do you keep your house from smelling like a gym without doing laundry for every change of clothes?



A lot of Frebreze.
