It's been like this for almost 4 years now. Obviously it's not that big a deal if y'all are just noticing. Lol

Fuzzy, like your cat story. Got to pet my first Maine Coon last year; it was huge.

Kimmi: hope all turns out well re your sis and yourself. Judging by that pink fur hat you are coping well.

On the subject of hair; I used to do all kinds of crazy shit with my hair, huge spikes, colours, dye jobs...for some reason the years of abuse have caused it to thin rather dramatically although I may have just had undiagnosed Covid. Fortunately I don't give a crap. I cut my own hair this week essentially while blindfolded since I can't see shit without my glasses. Looks pretty damn good if you ask me. Mind you I haven't looked at the back.

Had some blood work today and the vampire (nurse) was HOT! I was hoping I would get her while I sat in the waiting room and dreams DO come true. Turns out we both frequent a nearby scenic area to hike and feed the birds. It didn't seem right to hit on her at her work and for once I actually behaved myself.

Got an endoscopy Friday which is always fun bc who doesn't love getting medical stuff stuck down their throat?

I should be able to work that in to some kind of sympathy sex. 😈

No sex, but I've got a colonoscopy scope with your name on it

I.understand but you can't get a proofreaderbas they can't access drafts plus the secure sex stories and I dint fee anyone that reads thesevatevreally concerned about a missing come or punctuation. We are not English majors

Lush needscto stop.being so demanding

Reread your post and imagine sending in a story that reads like this, and THEN imagine someone having to vet it/read it and then maybe you'll get it.

Some members are also being presented with the upgrade page. There seems to be a few variations in the result. I have updated the development team.

Thanks, John. this is incredibly annoying.

Canadians are north americans. Did you not pay attention to Bad Bunny at all? ❤️🤣 Coincidentally there are more 'americans' in South America than North America. Just sayin'...

How could I? he wasn't speaking murican.

Quote by LYFBUZ

Don't know why they call it "Super" Bowl. How can it be super when it doesn't even have hockey? 😊

The only thing I watched was Green Day who were great but I wistfully wished they would have eviscerated prezzy poopy-pants.

Pretty sure the NFL, Green Day and Bad Bunny all sent a subtle finger to the current administration. See the colours of the Green Day finale? They weren't red white and blue....

Can I get a chai please?

Hockey doesn't count. Only Murican sports, moose boy.

Quote by Seeker4

Back in the day when I still lived with football fans (Dad, one brother), they often felt our Grey Cup was actually a better game of football (even given the number of times it got played in fog, snow, etc.). Super Bowl was more for the theatrics.

The Seahawks Rams game was actually much better. and really, we went into this one pretty much knowing that the 'hawks were going to win it.

Quote by techgoddess

Bad Bunny was phenomenal. Who cares if I could understand all the words or not? The energy and the vibe were amazing. Been rooting for the Seahawks for the ridiculous reason that my nephew used to live in Seattle. We had chips with the hot dogs...Ruffles...OMG...worth every mg of salt and gram of fat. YUM!

And our home team won. we had people over for the game. menu was enchilada casserole and spanish rice. half time was an impromptu dance party. Ga ga and Ricky Martin were a nice surprise. A few faces spotted on the field dancing with the crowd - Jessica Alba, Pedro Pascal, Cardi B. The couple that was getting married, btw? They'd invited Benito to their wedding and he told them to come to the SB and get married during their performance. so they did. The game itself was kind of a snooze. but Bad Bunny killed it.

Quote by Seeker4

It's frigid almost anywhere below the Arctic Circle🥶😁. That said, I would happily take that over the weather we have been getting (below -10C/14F for days now).

It's nice up here. Shorts and shirt sleeves. Going to get my tan on tomorrow while drinking a nice cool glass of lemonade.

Quote by techgoddess

How come no one is surprised we broke the bed? LOL. Glad you found it titillating. 😉

And day two of feeling like shit, I guess it's good I didn't plan on going anywhere with the Nationwide strike today. We usually take my brother (who is cognitively impaired) to the movies on Friday, but we decided, in light of the strike, we would stay home, make popcorn here, and watch a movie on TV.

be more suprised if you hadn't broken the bed

Nationwide walk out/shutdown/strike today. Drinks are on me. cheers.

Now music

Quote by Hughtheman

I can only imagine how long it's taken to judge all the entries. Didn't count how many people had entered, but it looks like there were quite a few

we actually drop all the names in a bowl and pick out 10. last 3 get first, second, and third place.

Quote by KimmiBeGood

I feel you, Cog. I’m so sorry! 😢

I’m having to pay for extra sessions with my acupuncturist and Reiki healer to not become frozen in fear.

And so much for our checks and balances system. Not really working. Judges rule. They are ignored. No consequences. Congress is bypassed. Opposers get attacked in the worst way. Supporters commit crimes and get pardoned. How does this not ring familiar to the darkest spots in history (and present day) to anyone?

Sigh… I’ll be in my corner…

Joins you and holds hands. Not been a good 24 hours, has it.

Quote by paddlingincognito

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.

I am thinking this might be a George Floyd moment. People are not just getting on with their day as if nothing happened, This one is galvanizing people into action. Anyone who has seen the videos will recognize it for what it was. a brutal and senseless execution of a woman who posed no harm to anyone. Worse, the administration is doing their best to justify it as self-defense, which is complete bullshit. Sorry that it happened in your neighborhood. The best comfort I can give you is that people all across the country are stepping up and taking notice and we're not going to let this go. peace and love to you and everyone else affected by this tragedy.

Quote by LYFBUZ

lol sprite would be my first choice.😈

what? you didn't get enough time in the hospital last year?

Quote by LYFBUZ

OMG I can’t believe you! The plan was YOU respond “Not completely wasted …I’m pregnant.”

Then I was supposed to respond “If it’s a girl can we name her Jen?” thus bringing our lovely and charming as fuck Jen into closer orbit to you accomplishing exactly what you begged me to do. Our own perfect little conspiracy. Until you fucking blew it.

Duplicitous wench.

Well played.

dude. you weren't kidding. you really are wasted. lol

Quote by LYFBUZ

WTF? You implied you were a judge not a contestant. All those sexual favours I provided you...completely wasted. I'd never have agreed to the handcuffs otherwise.

i love playing you. think you'd have figured it out by now

Quote by Jen

I'm kidding myself. Too many visitors at this time of year. Announcement date will be 12th Jan to also give a chance for more judges to be around to support. Thanks.

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

Quote by Seeker4

I need to get in and read at least some. I'm kind of in a writing mood and don't want to lose that momentum but I am in so should at least check out some of the other entries. Not a hope in hell of getting through all of it, though.

ya'll get holiday time? what's that like? at the moment, i am living vicariously through you

Quote by LYFBUZ

Great idea the Mods deserve a break, especially that pretty blonde one.

i will let her know. don't worry, i won't tell what you said about her yesterday

just a little heads up for everyone here. the comp is closing on Dec 24th. get your submissions in. we are discussing closing down the queue from the 25th to Jan 5th to give the mods a breather and a chance to enjoy the holidays. it's pretty much going to happen. so make sure you get your stories in before then. or, if you want to be nice to us, wait for january. thanks! this is not official yet, and yes, i am very good to all of you, so feel free to appreciate me lol xxx

Quote by LYFBUZ

Editing my entry, so far I have gone from 1583 words to 1596. And I still hate 1501 words of what's left.

hey, 95 words that you like is not bad. why don't you just trim it down into a micro? lol

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Ooo, I love stories that transport me to different places!

Beam me up, Kimmi.

having some rain up here. so far, we're not affected and i think the worst of it is over.

Quote by CuriousAnnie

Morning all, coffee to start my day. It's been such a hot summer so far and the four year old is so into the beach. I've hit pause on the competition story I mentioned in my last post; I can't find the energy after Sunday's tragedy at Bondi. But I will try and read a few more stories later in the week. Take care out there.

my heart goes out to everyone out there. thankfully you guys aren't insane like we are and it wasn't worse. that said, it's still awful and it breaks my heart. my love to everyone affected. 💔❤️

Quote by paddlingincognito

So we should just add a note “sprite said it was okay”

you do you. meanwhile, i'm sharpening my knives. :)

Quote by paddlingincognito

Would it be frowned upon if, after the competition ends, all of us release “extended” versions of our stories? lol

you could, if you wanted. fyi. the mod team would probably murder you if you do, but you could.

this is a public service announement - if you are entering the comp, please do not forget to hit the entry button when you submit your story. yes, this is a real thing. i've had to fix this for 3 different authors so far... i am NOT your mother, dammit. lol
