Oh, congrats on retiring, I didn't know why you kept posting on your last days of work, i wasn't sure if you were getting laid off, or as others, off until the new years as things close for the holidays.
Thanks, New Scott. I was lucky enough to be offered early retirement by CSU, and I was on it like Godzilla on Tokyo. TWO more days now (2 days and two hours to be exact).
Friday afternoon I am bringing in a barrel of Dickel to the bar to celebrate. As my Dad always said, a little Dickel do ya!
Don't believe me, listen to Merle.

Congrats on having all adult children! I remember being sad at first when my baby turned 18. Then I realized I had raised some pretty cool adult kids. So cheers to you, dad!
It's raining out over the gulf, making it look foggy and kind of eerie out there at the moment.
Seems like a good time for another cup of tea!
Yeah, it feels pretty good. And I will see both my daughters weekly, if not daily. So it's not exactly an empty nest.
PLUS, it's fortunate timing to be retiring the same week that both my kids achieve adulthood. Feels like the end on an era, and the beginning of another.
Tam, awkward moments are the best kind! Why waste time on bland comfort?
Okay, one last cup of coffee.

It took me awhile to find a charity that didn't spend another $100 in postage trying to get me to donate again.
The winner: Habitat for Humanity. I give money to them every year. I give money to a local theater group most years too (they need it especially this year!).

Happy birthday to Xan. My youngest's birthday is this week. She is turning EIGHTEEN! Meaning, yes, the same week I retire, both my girls are officially adult and making their first stumbling steps into the nominally more real world. What a weirdly exhilarating feeling: new responsibilities, new goals, new ways of looking at the world.
That's about all. Trying unsuccessfully to get into the mood to work. Three and a half days left.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Köffee would be swell.

I'm not a mod, but I've done a TON of editing stories after they've been published, because I don't now how to stop editing. Anyway, my understanding is that you can edit whatever you want, as long as you do it inside the Lush editor, as that will show the changes to the mods and make their job easier. The story disappears until it's been re-verified. Votes and comments remain. Unless you try and change the title - that's becomes part of the URL and can't be changed.
There have been a couple times that I changed a story so much I couldn't just edit inside the Lush editor. In those cases I apologized profusely to the mods in the comments box of the editor as I submitted. They were always very nice about it. I imagine the OP has enough writing cred so I doubt they'll mind.

Jeff, here's your coffee. Just think of retirement as being on a day long coffee break. ;.
Y'all think coming up with a life-size inflatable Jane Lynch replica doll might prove a popular gift to give our grieving one? Just a thought.
Anybody out there want a drink or two?
Thanks for the coffee, Bill. And I meant to thank you before for acknowledging John Le Carre's death. I devoured the Smiley books as a young man. He'll be missed. Those books will be remembered.
Too late for coffee. How about some herbal tea? It's cold here. Prolly cold in Sara's neck of the woods too.

I FUCKING LOVE Kit-Kats. When my kids were little I'd make them give me all their Kit Kats as Daddy Tax on Halloween.
Two pages of morning posts here at Rumps, and it's not even noon yet!

Happy Birthday, Xan. I suspect you will enjoy your 30s. I will speak for no one else, but that was the age where I began to learn that pleasing others didn't matter, and began to live for myself.
FUZZY! You played Arcade Fire! Better than Jamesons. Thanx!
Em, that's pretty funny about your hubs and the test (I doubt he found it funny). Too bad he didn't attempt the test. I bought movie tickets online once (back when we could go to movies) and found out when we got there they were for a theater in another town, like 45 minutes away. I still get shit for that.
Let's see. What else? Thanks for the props on the 8 stories Curves. Sadly, 2 of them sucked, 2 were mediocre, but I learned lots while writing them (e.g. come up with a plot BEFORE you start). And I like the other 4.
Last week of honest employment. Surreal to wake up realizing that.
Köffee would be a dream come true.

Got you run 3 miles daily to keep my back-pain at bay.
Running keeps back pain at bay? Can you tell me more? I don't have much back pain yet, but I am sure I will at some point in the future. Whenever I've run I find it impacts my back a lot.

Oh, hush, you. You write (wrote?) some of the best erotica on the site. You knew these things that Morgan refers to, without knowing that you knew.
That's sweet of you to say, Jen. Yeah, i may have known the rules intuitively, but I couldn't wrote them out like she just did.
And like you say, I'm more "wrote" than "write" erotica these days. Even reading it, my mind kind of veers off when I encounter a sex scene. I may come back to it, but right now I'm a little burnt out on erotica. Few folks read my stories these days anyway - it's been too long since I published something new.

Just finished another story - that makes 8 for the year - so I am in high spirits. I know folks here who've written way more than 8 stories in 2020, but alas, I am a slow writer, with doubt biting at my heels every step of the way.
About to go exercise with my ancient Nintendo Wii, which I have set up in our exercise room because the stationary bike bores me silly. I have a Playstation 4 at my disposal (okay it's my daughter's) but I still consider the Nintendo Wii to be the greatest gaming system ever invented. Tennis and bowling alone make it worth the while. Plus, MARIOKART!!!
Anyway. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend, rogue smoke detectors and freezing cold weather notwithstanding.
Hot beverages for everyone!

Thanks for sharing that, Verbs! What beautiful writing. A PERFECT short story, as you say. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and found it profoundly moving.
Evening pint here, please barkeep and whatever Verbs and anyone else who's around would like as their tipple!
Isn't it though? Even the first line is a perfect first line, you learn so much from a couple key details: " It was the summer after they rerouted the freeway away from our town, when our dads and some moms left to find jobs as our cupboards ran dry."
Wish I could write like that. Simple and powerful.
Beer please. And one for Curves. And one for Hot but Kind Bunny Girl, who slipped in under my post.

Don't mind me, I'm not here, just dropping off a PERFECT short story I just finished reading. It's not erotica, it's not by anyone I know, but it's heartbreakingly beautiful, and I figured this community of writers would enjoy it too. It's a very short read.

Peace.
EDIT: The folks that published the story (which won a competition) are having a short story comp starting next month, if anyone is interested. $48 entry fee, but clearly the winners get some visibility. http://www.nycmidnight.com/

Hello, just dropping by to see what I've missed. I'm still in the process of recovering. Covid for some people comes with a lot more than the initial symptoms. I had a procedure yesterday to fix a heart arrhythmia that the virus made worse.
I can deal with a lot of things but for me, one of the worst things is not being able to concentrate. I can't read more than a few pages of a book. I lose track of what is going on. I have a stack of books I can't enjoy.
My parent's retirement community has a large outbreak so they are on a two-week lockdown which includes Christmas. No activities either. Not sure how my mother is going to survive with my dad and there is nothing I can do. My attitude and mood are shit but I have no idea how to fix any of this.
Sorry for not posting anything positive. I'm trying, but I think I'll crawl back into my bubble and hope time makes things better. I'll be back when I am in a better frame of mind.
I am sorry I haven't been able to read anyone's new stories. As soon as my brain allows more comprehension I promise I'll get to them.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Cheers!
Ah, Gill. Let's just write the holidays off and stay quietly buzzed for the next several weeks, until 2021. I feel for you - moving your folks into a retirement home was supposed to be a helpful move, and then Covid makes retirement homes places of fear and isolation. Thinking of you.
Quote by utterchaos
Nothing from my appointment that's positive. Just I have something wrong and I'll probably never get a name for it. They decided not to do genetic tests because there was no family history, despite the fact my mum was adopted and my father's mother fucked off when he was a baby. Kinda makes family history a bit pointless.
I googled whole genome testing. No idea how much that would be and whether I can get it done as a self referral. Maybe I'll try speaking to the neurologist who referred me to neurogenetics and see if he can sign off on it if I do need a signature.
I did have 7 whole vials of blood taken for storage and I've got the wonderful experience of being zapped in the new year to check the speed of painful stimuli... yay! I've also been prescribed pregabalin to keep my pain and hopefully spasticity under control, but basically I'm just on pain management. Two doctors did have a fun time playing whack-a-mole all over my body and setting my reflexes off for the medical students ?
They shocked you!? That sounds terrifying and depressing. Neuro stuff is scary. If you still plan on getting shit faced I will join you. It's the end of a very trying year, let's send it off in style.
I've got the day off today. Cold and snowy (and since Sara's weather is always similar to ours, she probably has the same crappy day outside). There's a virtual play we may try to catch this weekend - The Wolves - about a girls high school soccer team, from the Philadelphia Theater Company. I miss going to plays.
Anyway, HUGS to all who enter here, in the benighted year of 2020.
Koffee would bring me clear blue skies.

Just have to say I love your avatar and found my head bouncing along to the music it inspired in my head.
We are headed out tonight to visit several drive-through Christmas light displays. Not Northern Lights, but lovely just the same. Helps to make this time of year feel a little more festive.
Just some tea this afternoon, I had a few beers last night while painting on the beach and my scale was not kind this morning. But it felt good to go hang with my new friend John and paint what I think turned out to be a respectable sunset painting, worthy of hanging according to my hubby, but then again he might just be partial. LOL
When I was a kid, and this part came on, I always focused on those two kids dancing. I thought they ROCKED!
Hang in there, Xander. Jane shall return. In the meantime, Skald and Hot but Kind Bunny Girl can, I'm sure, soothe your fears.

Series do have dwindling returns with each successive chapter (I had a 45 story series of flash pieces up here for a long time, and audience diminished with each new story for a bit, then leveled out), but I don't know if that's a bad thing. The ones that do show up to read the new chapters are the loyal fans of your series, and your CORE audience. You might not have gotten them to read it if you'd published as a 10k story.
Do what suits the story best, and let the audience react however they react.

Northern Lights are supposed to be visible tonight in the upper half of the US! Not where we live, but close enough so we could drive into range in a couple hours. I'm tempted to pack the girls and LJ into the car and drive to see them but sadly, it's cloudy and cold, and supposed to rain tonight. BIG wah! Though my kids are probably grateful - I have done my share of waking the in the middle of the night for meteor showers and lunar eclipses and the like. Created some great memories that way.
Also created some "Dad, can we go home yet? It's frikkin cold!" moments too.
Anyway. 5.5 days of work left.
James story about an orgy at Rumps is fun and colorful. Bill, your bar is now ensconced in a work of literature!
Give me köffee or give me death.

I'd be glad to. Oh, and for the record, my pronouns are they/them now and not he/they like before.
...and in other news, I really cut it close with the coffee cause they shut the water off at nine.
If I knew the water was going off at 9 in the morning, X, I'd have filled the bathtub with coffee to last me the day.
Had my last Staff Meeting EVER today. It was bittersweet. My boss got all choked up.
Me, I'm just working and writing and buying toys for my telescope.
Heyya, Larry, James, Carl, Bunny Girl, James, Emma (Cattle Decapitation?), O Setters of Up, yadayadayada. Cool to see SimplyJohn stick his head in here, albeit from Bill's post (he has a long reach!). Hope everyone is settling nicely into the holidays.

How about some Dickel, in honor of my Dad (who always said, whenever Dickel was mentioned, "A little Dickel do ya!").
Peace.

I've been watching a lot of West Wing too. It leaves Netflix this month so I'm trying to get through the fourth season (again) before it goes.

Quote by PNGd
The Undoing was disappointing. I really wanted it to be good. It seemed forced. Too bad.
AGREED. The Flight Attendant is fun. It's not great. Kaley does a few too many close up face expression shots, but in a weird way, I'm proud of her. She's a producer on this. I remember her from that John Ritter series, 8 Simple Rules, where she was his teen daughter and Katey Sagal was her mom. She worked on set with some great actors. Sadly, John Ritter and then James Garner, Mr. Rockford Files himself, both passed away. A couple icons.
Dude... what happened to The Americans?
Such an amazing series. Did you drop it?
I started out really liking Undoing. I like both those actors. And I liked the setup. It just didn't really end up going anywhere.
I love those career comedy actresses like Cuoco and Christina Applegate and Julia Louis Dreyfus, who have been comedy so long the timing is just in their bones. Professionals, and good at their jobs.
Yeah, we dropped the Americans after one episode. We may pick it back up.
Also, season 7 of Mom. Really good sit-com, though I doubt we'll keep watching after Anna Faris leaves.
