No wonder they could only sing alto.
It's called falsetto, not alto in this case.

I'm in the middle of moving house, but wanted to reply quickly.
I'm all in favour of keeping the badge, so those who really wish to challenge themselves, and maybe even force themselves into writing in a genre they don't know / like (a useful writing exercise in itself), can.
Also, adding badges for publishing in 10, 20, 30 etc., categories. Perhaps incorporating the likes of the U.K. speed limits?
They even use lush red!
Sound good?
Once this is implemented it will be a great new badge and one for those who might not want to write in ALL categories for whatever reason, but can still earn a cool new badge.

It's time to give Sprite the nickname 'Tater Salad'.
Then she can tell this story (or one just like it...)

We're banning the use of the word "Dawg" from the site (sorry, Buz, Rumple, but we've had complaints).

I have a great ability to find mistakes in others written work... not so much with my own. It does make me a more effective English teacher.
I also make things with plastic canvas mesh and yarn (though that's not really that much of a secret.)

My mom is 73. She now blames me for all her woes. Everything that has gone wrong in her life is somehow my fault. She lost her house and for lack of a better term, ran away. She refused to tell me where she was going or where she was living for over a year and a half. Finally, she came by to see us. She was supposed to meet us for dinner, but was three hours later. We offered her a bed for the night (it was 10:00 pm before she showed up) only because we were afraid she'd fall asleep on the road. She's decided she likes my husband more than me becasue in her mind, I'm an alcoholic and a shitty mother. She blames my father for turning me against her (nothing could be further from the truth.) She's just pissed that I chose to have a relationship with my father before it's too late. I told her straight up that if she doesn't like it, she can remove herself from my life. Yet, I was good enough to be asked for money for a lawyer and later an apartment that she ended up not getting and God knows what she spend the money on. Money burns a hole in her pocket and she can't save $20 to save her life. Oh yeah, and she begged for gas money that we gave her, even though she assured me she had the financial resources to make the trip in the first place (yeah... me.)
My father is 74 and is a true Republican. Everything the GOP does is perfect including our current POTUS and everything the Democrats even touched is just a piece of shit. He hated Obama for a multitude of reasons, especially the fact that he was black. He constantly complains about how much in taxes he is forced to pay and moved out of "liberal California" because he hated the politics there. He's a proud member of the NRA and is convinced that the 2nd Amendment will one day be repealed. Thus, you'll pry his gun from his cold, dead hand. Yeah, kinda like Charlton Heston. Once he gets an idea in his head, it's there no matter what, even if it's completely wrong.
Ironically, politics is the only area my parents agree upon.
Dealing with their respective drama is stressful. My husband has the luxury of telling either of them off if he so chooses. Me, I just nod and smile.

After working Black Friday two years in a row, I refuse. However, today Amazon had a deal for something my son wanted so I took advantage of it and took care of both my son & my mother. So, I technically did shop today, but from the comfort of my own home.
EDIT: The gift my husband wanted went on sale and I bought it as well. It arrives tomorrow.

I guess it depends on your definition of rude. The ones I have found the rudest don't usually last to long. Those who do can be easily blocked.

Have you seen the seventies version with Albert Finney as Poirot? If so, how does Branagh's compare (I am a Branagh fan so hopefully well)?
I have and I thought Branagh did a fantastic job as Poirot. There were some great comic elements I'm sure you'll giggle at as well.

Thank you NymphWriter!! I was nervous as could be, but he did great. I'm one proud mama.
I don't have the parent ribbon. All my pins are tucked away in a little lopsided jewelry-box, he made when he was in Middle School.
Although, I might get one to wear around town, just to keep up with the embarrassing mom gig.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I got up had coffee and went for a jog this morning.
As you should be!
I would recommend the parent ribbon, though I didn't have a special box he made me, I had invested in the parent necklace. I remember when he earned his Life Scout his father had the nerve to ask if he could have the "next" pin. I told him absolutely not! They are called Mother's Pins for a reason. Besides, I knew there was an Eagle Scout Dad pin he would be getting.
I wear mine to school at least once a year when I encounter younger boy scouts to show them I'm truly a proud Eagle mom.

Didn't Sprite claim she was taking a break from Lush? If that's the case, why are we seeing more of that pesky bitch than ever? Does she not understand what it means to take a fucking break? We need a fucking break from her!

I didn't embarrass my son by crying my eyes out last night. He passed his Eagle Scout board of review. I wanted to but, I maintained.
Congratulations!
I remember the night my son pass his Eagle Scout Board of Review. I don't think I've ever been more nervous.
By the way, do you have one of these? (I do and it looks a lot like this one.)

As an English teacher who is privileged to teach reading to middle schoolers, I get to share my love of reading with hormonal teenagers all the time. I only wish I had more time to read, but I do what I can.

Quote by Raza
That is most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in all my life.
Do you honestly think people will pay to read stories on Lush when there are at least a million stories on other sites for free?
The whole point of bringing back is to raise traffic, raise revenue and get the good people back on Lush. How are people going to know that Lush now accepts stories if it's hidden away inside the vault which nobody can access unless they make a payment.
We need to get the word out. I suggest putting a big banner on the homepage saying " STORIES ARE BACK ON LUSH."
Yes, I do think those who enjoy reading these stories would pay or already are paying members (or paid members as is the case with the platinum members). You said it yourself the point of bringing this category was to raise revenue and I'm guessing when you say the "get the good people back on Lush" you mean those authors who once were members. Hard to say if they will return or not as none of us have a crystal ball.

Keeping with the Latin theme:
excitable: cum mobiles (eek no)
body of work: labore corporis (nope)
enticer: Raptor (Verbal might like that one)
entices: illicit
prolific writer: siccos (lol)
eighty: octoginta (don't let Sprite decide)
hot writer: calidum scriptor
80 = LXXX (my personal fav, simple and to the point) "L" for Lush, XXX for erotica, its damn near perfect!
EDIT: plus LXXX = 4 letters, just like LUSH, and it would be pronounced licks...80 being representative of the 40/51 categories or 80%
Of course the sexy Canadian would come up with a brilliant idea. LXXX

Having given this matter consideration, I don't really want to have more than one badge with the word, "Omnium" in it.
How about, on top of the existing Ominium badge (translation from Latin, meaning "All") we add a badge for authors published in 80%+ of our categories? That way, you can leave out any categories you don't wish to write in.
There are 51 categories at present.
If we introduce a new badge, what should we call it?
"Naughty 40" - published in 40+ categories.
"Eager Beaver"
"Mélange"
"Medley"
Any suggestions?
Now this is a fair and reasonable suggestion. I like "Naughty 40" and "Eager Beaver". It would give those who are striving for the Omnium a reward for their efforts towards this, and an option for those who are much more uncomfortable with certain categories, whatever they may be.

I've just noticed that everyone that had the omnium badge has now lost it - the badge stats are empty!
What a shame - I struggled for ages to get that. I know, I'm only 12 more categories away but there's one category that will stop me now.
Never mind - I had it and I'm grateful for that. Just wish I took a picture of it - lol.
Yeah, every time I check off another category toward the omnium badge, they'd add more categories. Sadly, it's not just a reality for me either. So, I'll just add stories to the different categories as time goes on.
Congrats on at least earning it once. You did much better than I did.
