Steals all the chocolate cream filled for myself and hides in storeroom #4!

Hehe. “cream filled” 😂

Okay, I am better now. Grabbing some tea and heading back to the office.

Quick fly by...

Grabbing some coffee and getting ready to fight traffic and start my week. Have a great day, everyone!

<edit> Just noticed the amazing songs playing this morning. Maybe I’ll sit down and have my first cup here. Then I’ll grab a second for the road.

I would not mind replacing the one in the pipeline with the more complete version.

After you publish a story, you can go back and edit it. The key is to edit it within Lush (as opposed to doing a full ‘copy and paste’). If you tell the mods what you edited, they can see the changes and it should get fast tracked through the approval process.

Best get this 3rd set playing which I shall honour one and only Bob Weir, founding member of Grateful Dead and lately of Dead and Company he was a young 78.

Rest peaceful Bobby, I can only dream of the jam session with Jerry in heaven.

I finally came out of the Storage Room #4 yesterday afternoon. Had to watch a little football. Thanks for letting us newbies know about your stash, Kimmi. Everything is cleaned up and put back in it’s original place

Sad day for my Green Bay Packers. That’s all I can stomach to say today about that.

I also saw the news about Bob Weir. RIP Bobby. You will be missed. I’ve been a deadhead since college. I have seen the Dead several times, as well as Dead and Company. I still recall being at Jerry’s last show in Chicago a month before he passed away in 1995. Such an amazing group of people.

Folgers Lion? Really???

Congratulations, MC1982, cliff_edger, LYFBUZ and JamesLlewellyn!

And Cog – if you're going to be a regular in Store Room #4, just remember – there's a bucket and mop just outside the door, 'K?

<sticking my head out of Store Room #4> Gotchya!

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

Our favourite GF baker was there, which is nice because we get home-baked gluten-free bread every week!

<sticking my head out of Store Room #4, again> Jealous. I am GF and it is hard to find good, fresh GF bakery items.

So… Mop, check. Tasty food, check. Um, can someone please bring me some coffee? No need to knock.

<closing door to Store Room #4>

I’ll let you play with my toys in storeroom #4. I have a variety. Take a peek… if you dare! 😈

Why didn’t anyone tell me about this when I stumbled in??? 🤣

Morning Rumps!

This would NEVER happened IF the driver HAD complied to GET OUT of her vehicle.

Yes, a lot of things could have played out differently. The whole situation is just unfortunate on many levels. Despite the chaos, I can take some comfort in the fact that there has not been any violence since the tragic event took place.

Back to more positive programming… The sun is out here for the first time in weeks. I thrive on sunshine, so I am happy. We dodged a snow/ice storm last night. All good things! And I am looking forward to a quiet day today and a weekend full of football. Go Pack Go!

I hope everyone has an amazing Friday!!

Quote by techgoddess

So much for 2026 being a better year. 🙁

Technically, it’s early. We’ve got 357 days to turn this ship around. Maybe. Hopefully.

Morning, Rumps. It’s been a week. And yesterday's ICE shooting here in Minneapolis… Yeah, fucked up. I am spinning a little. Or a lot.

Regardless of where you are on the political spectrum, it should NEVER go this far.

Grabbing a to-go cup of the Lumberjack coffee blend and heading out to start my day. Extra cream today, please, to hopefully cut down on my bitter mood.

Happy Birthday, Kis!

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

Today we're using Kick Ass coffee blend to help kick things off…

Good morning, Rumps!

Good call on the coffee, Bear! Kick Ass started in Hawaii. Unfortunately, they closed most of their stores on Maui around COVID. The last store is a mile walk from where my wife and I vacation. And we are heading there for our annual pilgrimage in 12 days. Can’t wait!!!

Quote by AngelWorthy

Congratulations on both 100 followers & almost 25,000 views on your stories in less than 3 months.

Welcome back, AngelWorthy! And thank you. It’s been a whirlwind. I think part of this is that I had been writing for over a year before discovering Lush. So I can in with a dozen stories. Some have been released as they were originally written (Open Secrets and the pending Eros Project). Others were repurposed (Coffee, Bang). More stories, more clicks, more 🔥.

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

Congratulations, Cog ol' boy! Enjoy it, because you've earned it!

Now, whaddal you have to celebrate?

Right now, just a cup of that delicious Kick Ass blend with a dash of cream.

Funny, I was going to take the month off from writing. I will be Hawaii heats two weeks in January and I have a feeling that work is going to be insane this week and next week.

Granted, what did I do this weekend? I wrote another story. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Now I feel like I need to edit it and submit it before I head out. lol

Quote by wxt55uk

For me, it took about 2 years, but things can change quickly. I wrote a short I/F series and picked up 268 followers in a month... So, I went from something like 30 to around 300 followers in one month based on those 4 stories. I always wondered if that was a monthly Lush follower record. 😳

That’s crazy! It seems like are certain categories - I/F stories being one of them - that get a lot of reads, which I assume translates to followers.

I just realized that I hit 100 followers over the weekend! Started looking at my story stats. I joined Lush 67 days ago. I’ve published 8 stories (well, four “real” stories, one of which was spread across five chapters). And I’ve had almost 25,000 reads. I know that doesn’t sound like much. But I am feeling very humbled right now. 😊

Here's the band I am currently obsessing over. Very talented young ladies from Argentina.

Thanks for sharing, Ape. I like it. I will have to check out their other material.

Quote by fuzzy1954

Dropping off 6 full racks of Kansas City BBQ ribs & Cole slaw; can't have BBQ without Kansas City Boulevard Wheat beer as we all enjoy football.

🏉

I’ve got friends and family in the KC area. Love me some good KC BBQ and Boulevard. Granted, I went gluten free several years ago, which makes Boulevard and corn bread a no-go now. 😢

Watching the Packers right now. Nothing to play for this weekend. We have the 7th seed locked up. They are playing mostly 2nd and 3rd string players. Feels like August. Meh.

Quote by Seeker4

Good luck. I have some of my team going for AI development training later this month for a major project we've kicked off. I'm just project manager, not doing any dev work myself, so I am not taking it. Leaving it to the pros, so to speak. 😋

Small world. I spent a good chunk of my career in the PM space. Now I straddle that and digital product management.

Before I became a project manager, I was developer (20-30 years ago). I will always be a bit of a tech nerd and am fascinated by emerging technologies. My company doesn’t pay for any “technical” AI training, so I just do on my own.

Quote by KimmiBeGood

I’m so jealous! My cat Butters would never let me sleep anywhere close to 10am.

My dog is up at 6am every day! She will lay there, patiently waiting, until 8am on weekends. But then the “I am bored” whimpering starts. She doesn’t necessarily need to go outside, she’s not a breakfast/food motivated dog. She just gets bored being locked in a room with her people.

My wife got up earlier than me this morning and took care of her, so I was free to be lazy. It was wonderful!

Quote by Seeker4

Trying to write but I just don't seem to be engaged at the moment. Kind of poking around, learning stuff about Linux instead of actually writing. Oh well. The mood will hit me sooner or later.

I am in the reverse boat. I really need to focus on some AI certifications I’ve been pursuing and maybe dive deeper Peyton. But I keep coming up with new story ideas and I feel like I need to put words on paper. Sigh.

Good morning, US and Canada based Rumps, good afternoon to those in the UK.

Almost 10am and I am still laying in bed. Lazy day. Not even craving any of the Coffee Kult Dark Roast, yet.

If you haven’t read my latest story - The Blow Bang - please check it out. It’s not going to win any awards, but I am happy with the way that I navigated sex scenes with 10/8 people, respectively. You should see the stack of diagrams I went through showing me who was where/when during the writing process. 😂

I have my next story - Project Eros - sitting in my drafts and ready to go. I REALLY want it hit “submit”. Because my previous story went live yesterday, I am trying to be patient and wait a few days.

I am excited, because Project Eros is what I consider to be my first real story (in other words, the sex is secondary to the larger story), it is my first story told from a female perspective, and it is a departure from the genres I usually gravitate towards.

Okay, I am done rambling. Enjoy your Saturday, everyone!

I wasn't going to drop by Rumpee's today, but I got something to celebrate: 500 Lush followers. 😊

Congratulations, David! That is awesome!!

Quote by techgoddess

Three of us enjoyed the movie “Song Sung Blue” last night. I knew that Hugh Jackman could sing, but I didn’t know that Kate Hudson had such an incredible voice.

I have heard good things about the move.

The funny thing is that I had friends who went to college at UW Milwaukee in the early 90s. I’ve seen Thunder and Lightning several times, including when they performed with Eddie Vedder during a Pearl Jam concert at Summerfest in 1995.

Quote by fuzzy1954

This here's the question is three sets enough or does everyone's souls ask for more??

More. The answers is always ‘more’. ❤️🎶

Oh, and Happy 2026 everyone!!!!

The end of 2025. A time for reflection. What might a healthier, happier 2026 look like?

Tantric sex! Spirituality, sensuality, self awareness! A new me! An ‘edgy’ 2026, followed by kicking off 2027 with a BANG!

Fast forward: January 2, 2026. I am catching up on the Lush Advent Writing Comp. Great stories. Some pull at my heartstrings. Others make me want to ‘pull’ something else. Fuck.

Lesson learned. Resolutions are hard. Edging, harder.

Morning, Rumps!

Happy NYE to each and every one of you, including those who I have not met yet.

Just a quick fly by this morning. A little 454 Horse Power coffee blend with a dash or cream in my travel mug, and I am out the door to run some errands.

I will be dropping my first group sex story - 3 women, 7 guys - as soon as the mods start accepting stories next weekend.

And then, on the heels of that, I plan to drop my first sci-fi story. Accidental futa transformation. Being a drastic departure from everything else I’ve written, I am a little anxious to see how that one will be received.

Finished the cover art for both stories. Here are previews:

The holidays were pretty quiet for us this year. That gave me a little free time to dive into a few things. I am excited to share that after countless hours over the past three days, I have two stories ready to go!

I have some new ideas, but am doing my best to let them sit and percolate while I focus on some other projects around the house.

Quote by techgoddess

I realized that I skipped the number 28 in my Hot Wife Hotel series. Since 29 picks up right where 27 left off, I am working on a story that involves another hot wife taking on one of Olivia’s clients while she's on vacation for story 28. Still working on a title since it won't be Olivia. But I have some ideas. 😉

Funny, I would have just edited “29” to “28” and called it good. Adding a filler story, and one that doesn’t involve Olivia... I am impressed!

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Real football 🏈! Not that other football that some erroneously call soccer. ⚽️

I love both! Granted, my beloved Packers are self-destructing. It’s kinda embarrassing. However, my other “football” club, Arsenal, is still at the top of the table. Granted, they’ve got a brutal three matches coming up over the next 12 days.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! I feeling a little under the weather today, so I think I am going to pass on the Folgers and dive right into the green tea.

Just announce me the winner now. it'll save time

You can’t win if you don’t play, sprite.

But when I win, I will share some of my Skittles with you. 😉

Quote by Seeker4

Tea box is probably on a shelf under the bar. It keeps getting mislaid. There's actually a good selection. But here's some Buddha's Blend. It's a blend of white and green with jasmine and hibsicus. Favourite of mine from up here in the Great Slippery North.

Much appreciated, Ape! 😊
