Good morning. Love the dog in your avatar. I'll bet he's a good dog.

It's been like this.
Must be in Vegas. We had 21 days of temps at 105 or higher.. then it slipped to 104 & 103... now there is a rumor we'll see 96 & 97 this week. I think it's a sign of Armageddon. Either way... I hope we don't get a repeat of June.

Congratulations to the USA women on their World Cup win. I watched a fair bit of the tournament and was gutted when England were knocked out in the semis by Japan with a last minute own goal. I actually cried.
I would have loved to have seen a USA/England final. USA were worthy winners - they have a team of great players and personalities. I must confess that I have Hope Solo as my desktop wallpaper on my laptop at the moment.
I agree... a USA/England final would have been a great match and in the end... the score would have been much closer.

The memories of a great weekend with my hubby. He had both Saturday & Sunday off and we did stuff! We visited two museums, saw a movie, and had lunch out... twice!
We need more weekends like this.

A serious can of whoop-ass was opened in Canada and delivered to Japan!

I cannot believe I'm saying this... but it's only 93 here... WTF? It's not blistering hot... but our humidity is 20%. I do see rain clouds on the horizon in every direction I look so maybe... just maybe... we'll get some rain. Sadly... it will be warm rain. Oh well... can't have it all.

Non sexual: The Las Vegas Natural History Museum for a buy one, get one free admission coupon. Hubby & I went today... really a nice place to visit if you're looking for an off the strip place to go.

Still agree with this.
Me too. Thank for agreeing with me (even if it's something as silly as this.
)

If I kept my mouth shut I wouldnt have had to put out so many fires.
I second this one as well! However... if nothing else... we learn from our mistakes.

I agree. That is probably why my mom kept telling me, "that is why you have two ears and one mouth."
My biggest blunder came when I saw some friends I hadn't seen for awhile. I knew they were desperately trying to have a child. Then when I greeted them at the door and I saw she had a full round belly, I said, "Congratulations!"
She gave me an icy stare and said, "I'm NOT pregnant."
Major foot in mouth moment.
Been there done that on both sides. As a kid I asked a woman how far along she was... she wasn't pregnant.
My 1st teaching job... several parents asked how far along I was. They had me confused with the teacher who was pregnant. I'll admit... I'm overweight (fat) but I haven't been pregnant in over 21 years.
As for what I had said earlier... well... you know what that's about Chuck.
That wound is still healing. Unicorn Wrangler
I need to learn to keep my big mouth shut. When I speak my mind... all too often it bites me in the ass and can cost me things I love & enjoy.

Satan had to leave 
... said it was too hot here for him. At 8:46 PM, it's a cool 102°F (38.8°C), 18% humidity (down from the 68% humidity we had this morning), clear skies, calm, wind SE 8 MPH. Our low is expect to hit a chilly 85°F (29.4°C). Tomorrow the high should be 108°F (42.2°C). To say my AC runs 24/7 is not a joke or an understatement. We haven't had a day without triple digits in over three weeks. 
The local news said June here was the hottest on record.

Quote by VanGogh
for sure .... I know myself, I would not sabotage another writer, ever! But, my question/observation/comment was raised because a writer in the comp had a very low score noted without a comment ........ and that down-scorer is also in the comp.
as many have said before (and will likely reiterate again and again in the future) this is an adult-site and sometimes it would be nice if some would conduct themselves as an adult.
I was happy that Jack and Nic explained things .... and I learned something about how that process works to level the playing field.
Cheers!
Van
Yeah... Nic & Jack did a great job of explaining things. I will say that the way this site handles comps is much more fair than others (no names mentioned). Here they do what they can to eliminate the trolls and other score wreckers. It's why I'm still willing to try entering comps.

Quote by VanGogh
Regarding the comps ....
It was something that was on my mind a while ago and then, popped up again in chatting with another writer.
During the comp timeline (the 6 weeks or whatever it runs), could it be that other comp writers NOT be allowed to vote on another comp's entry?
Why I ask this is because, while competition is a good thing, it can bring out the poorest qualities in some, such as down-voting.
I thought about those that enter the comp later, and have already scored other writers' stories. Do/could those scores be mitigated (or voided) until AFTER the comp?
(or maybe this already happens and is taken into consideration??)
Anywho .... just a thought.
Van
As someone who has entered many of the comps... I have NEVER felt my competition was trying to sabotage me with a crap score. In turn, if I read a story from my competition, I try to score fairly. I would never even consider sabotaging a fellow writer. I've read some and said to myself, "Well... my writers ass has just been handed to me."
I may not always agree with the judges choices for winners or the top 10... but I'm sure that's true with a lot of people. It just makes me want to try harder next time.
I trust Nicola & her team of judges to be fair and just because I don't agree with their choices... doesn't mean I think they are being unfair. It just means we have a difference of opinion. I can't imagine how hard it is for these folks to pick the winner and the top 10. I do know they work hard and are damn under-appreciated.
Unicorn Wrangler
Well... as some of you know by now... my entry is up. It was tough recreating something I had already invested some time into, but the final product is, in my opinion, much better. I stared off with a story at about 2300 words... which gave me some wiggle room to fix some things that needed to be addressed. I asked a couple of really good friends to look my story over and give me some feedback. From there, I tweaked, adjusted, added, & subtracted to what you see now at just over 2900 words. So, here's my shameless plug... if you are interested in a different take on a foot fetish story, I ask you give my tale of desperation and an indecent proposal a try.
Unicorn Wrangler
It couldn't have happened to a nicer Mod... one who works so hard to make the team a bit better. I'm so proud of you KE!
Unicorn Wrangler
Congrats to the winner and the other top 3! Well done to you all!
Unicorn Wrangler
Any story can be told well from either POV if the writer can create a great story. I bounce between the two depending on how the story is going. Sometimes a first person POV works... sometimes a third person POV works... it really just depends.
