Hereditary was "meh." Really wanted to like it, but it just didn't hold together. And was positively goofy at times. Toni Collette was excellent, as always.
Mets lost AGAIN yesterday. Tonight's debacle will be nationally televised. Lost 8 in a row, 10 in a row of our last home games, and 6 in a row against the Yankees. We need a frikkin win.
A 2200 word week. And I haven't even written yet today!
A cold beer please. In the 90s here.

Go Dawgs, go Dubs, go Caps!
Just finished mowing and weeding. About to write for a bit, then off to see Hereditary with my youngest, and cap off the night with my Dad, watching the Mets attempting to salvage some dignity in the annual humiliation known as the Subway Series.
Beer me, Bill.

A Whelk is a sea snail, somewhat larger than a winkle.
What the f*ck is a winkle?
I think you are making these foods up.
I hate artichoke hearts. I had an old girlfriend who liked them on pizza. PIZZA! Clearly, she was not sane, so I had to break up with her.

Quote by Burquette
This week, so far, we've lost Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain to suicide.
I've said, more than once, that I lost my brother to suicide. Devastation doesn't begin to describe what it did to the little nuclear family from my childhood.
So, if you suffer with depression, please remember that you are loved. People care. No feeling is forever: not the good ones and not the bad ones.
I lost my sister to suicide. You are right, devasatation doesn't begin to describe it. It blows a hole through the lives of everyone who loved them (and suicides so often seem like people who are dearly and deeply loved, but just couldn't break through the darkness to see it). It ripples through generations. It's a buzzsaw.
She killed herself 9 days after 9/11. 9/11 had nothing to do with why she killed herself, but whenever the annual 9/11 hoopla starts, I think of it as an echo of my own loss. 9/11 is just the penumbra, 9/20 is when the true shadow falls.
I think of her every day.
Peace, Burquette, and everyone else.

I used to always say print, but I have been slippping more and more into using my iPad to read. I buy all the smell of a book/feel of a book arguments, and agree, but ebooks let me carry around more than one book around, on a device that also has my calendar, email, yadayadayada, so it's just easier, and I just gradually gravitated toward i. Now 90% of my reading is on the iPad. The only times I read physical books is when I can't easily recharge (like when camping) or will be out in the sun, where there is too much screen glare.

Bump! Excellent thread, Bill.
I'll throw in a couple.
My absolute fave:
"Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time." - Kurt Vonnegut
I love the "Listen:" part most of all, especially the colon. People tend to quote the beginning of the prologue of Slaughterhouse Five ("All this happened, more or less."), and that's a great sentence too, but I love the beginning of the actual novel even more.
Also, this is non-foction, from Richard fucking Nixon's autobiography no less, but it's such a resonant line:
"I was born in the house my father built." - Richard Nixon

Me, I got a couple technical-type questions. Over on the Site Announcement forum, Master Jonathan said he'd like to have an edit feature for forum posts. Thing isI already have that. I'm accustomed to not having some feature everyone else uses, but not having one others long to acquire is way out of the ordinary. Any explanation this single-digit IQ 'puter user can understand would be depreciated.
eta: Honey Dip replied that the feature is available to all seeking editing power. Check out her post if interested.
I think Milik was referring to blog posts, and I have the same issue - I'm a bad typist, bad speller, and a bad proof-reader, and my blog posts are often mistake-ridden. I will try the lovely Nia's workaround.
Congrats on those caps, Gill and Ellizabeth! So exciting.
I've written every day this week! At least 300 words. 450 yesterday. Don't know exactly where it's headed, but this one is hot and filthy and a little bit out there. I don't often get turned on by my own writing, at least while writing. Not true this time. ;)
Thanks for getting the köffee churning through Bertha's bloodstream, Curvy McG! I'll have a huge mug.

Man, describing in detail a girl opening a belt on someone's pants with her just her mouth is hard work! It's a long paragraph now, and I am not even done. It's not even hot to write, I have to keep Googling "parts of a belt" to describe it correctly.
Hopefully it's hotter to read than to write.
Thirsty work! Burrbin, please.

I would like to see a green tick next to the stories on the main page when I have read a story. By read, I mean awarded a score or left a comment.
I find myself often having to go into a story to see if I left a comment before I start reading one.
I'm getting old, dementia is setting in, memory is not what it used to be. ???
I HAVE A WORKAROUND FOR THIS!!!
This used to happen to me too, a lot. Now I go to the scoring box before I read it the story. If it won't let me score, I've read it.

Happy birthday Tonya! Birthdays are always worth celebrating! It's a celebration of you, not the passage of time.
Thanks for setting up Bertha, Curvy McG. And thank you, Bill, for providing such an awesome establishment for all us lowly wrters. I see the Snuggly Duckling has fallen from the title of the bar. I'll miss that fucking duck.
Taking my Dad to the eye doctor in minutes.
Köffee please.

though not set in stone yet, this is the likely list of what you'll be seeing.
1) the self block - for those of us who have a habit of getting stoned out of our heads and then doing a lot of late night posting. saves you the embarrassment of reading them and thinking 'what the fuck?'
2) the Fuck you block - automatically blocks anyone who has you blocked.
3) the far right block - you tired of righties muttering about guns, Trump, immigration and... well, guns? this will block anyone who identifies with the far right.
4) the far left block - tired of lefties muttering about guns, Trump immigration and... well, guns? this will block anyone who identifies with the far left.
5) the NO MEN block - this will block all male members. perfect for guys pretending to be lesbians.
6) the pure fecking boot block - this will block anyone who annoys Jen. i foresee it getting a lot of use.
7) the i don't need no stinking badges block - this will block anyone with 10 or more badges.
8) the Mooseboy/Moosegirl block - blocks all Canadians.
9) the NO ONE TELLS ME WHAT TO DO - tired of listening to the mods BS? this will block all mods.
10) the you ain't the boss of me block - only usable by mods. blocks all of Nicola's posts.
11) the i know you are but what am i block - blocks anyone acting like they're still in High School.
12) the i have a goddamned headache listening to you motherfuckers bitching about everything block - only usable by sprite. blocks every single post on the entire site.
Some further suggestions:
13) if you are the enemy of my enemy you are my friend block - blocks those who block those you are fiends with
14) anti-block - shows you ONLY the posts of those you've blocked
15) retro-block - when someone blocks you it goes back in time and space to block that person BEFORE they block you
16) corfirm my world view block - blocks anyone who disagrees with you (though see 16b below)
16b) confirm my world view, specifically that everyone is fucking crazy but me - blocks anyone who agrees with you, confirming your belief that the entire world is a bunch of feckless runts (except you)
17) cute kittens block - self explanatory
18) overly reliant on memes block - blocks those that post memes rather than type out actual words on an actual keyboard
19) too fucking cheerful early in the morning before I've had my coffee block - again, self-explanatory, and nearly as annoying as cute kittens
20) cute kitten memes cheerfully posted early in the morning before I've had my coffee block - physically kills said poster of cute kitten memes cheerfully posted early in the morning before I've had my coffee
21) non-Rumplations block - blocks all posts not made in Rumplations, since that is where you post 99% of the time anyway
22) the self block - which was #1 on your list but bears repeating because I need it badly

Greetings and a cry of, 'What, I say, what in the name of those Williams boys (old Hank and Tennessee) is the meaning of this unannounced, unauthorized, and unprecedented alteration to the name of this miserable excuse for a honky-tonk ?
You are quoting one of my favorite songs ever - Good Ole Boys Like Me. Even used it in a play once.
Threw down 500 words last night. With all that flash I wrote, some of my writing muscles are a bit sore from lack of work. Plot, what's that? Pacing, why do I need that? Change of setting, passage of time? WTF?
Glad to see Scott and Tonya are starting to come out of their own writing shells. And that Amelia has a new story!
Congrats on those Caps, Gill and Elizabeth!
Köffee please.
And I'll throw a quarter in the juke and play that great song to start off the morning. Everyone have a fine day.
