I kind of soured on awards shows a long time ago, Oscars in particular. Staying up until all hours being bored makes no sense to me. This year seems a bit more promising than usual, though, from what I've been reading (don't see many movies). Shape of Water is definitely on my "to see" but a lot of Del Toro's stuff is languishing on that list. I used to watch music awards shows for the performances but now they usually turn up on Youtube in a day or two (officially or unofficially) so I've largely abandoned them, too.

Hey everyone. Hey Laura. I love when you're around. I'd go with a hurricane cocktail.

I'll have lemönade, please. I kinda want to write a poem for the competition but I kinda can't without judging myself unbearably. Sigh.

Sprite, I don't know how to quote directly from a post as you do but I'm not sure what you mean by this:


--"you're kinda cute, ya know, if misguided. happy8""

All I was doing was responding to MissKat who said:

--"It was said report the jeering to a mod. That's great, just what anyone coming to this site needs. A mess to watch unfold that a mod has to clean up. I've gone that route before, and while well meaning and defending the right to play openly, the few mods that I have had to turn to came off as, "I see your point, but don't like having to defend it." That is oh so welcoming."


She's the one who said the mods don't do what needs to be done. I understand that it's better to have people resolve their own differences than have a mod do it for them. All I'm saying is that after a couple of times of letting people know that certain ways of acting are not acceptable the problems should stop.

Opinions were asked for, I've given mine.

If the mods do not do what should be done, then let Gav tell them to do it.

I agree to the proposal BUT I've apprehensions about it's utilization as barring one or two, most of the rooms remain vacant... still I love the idea

As you may recall, my slav...er...teenager now lives about seven hours away. He also has three fucking midterms this weekend. Who the hell holds midterm exams on a weekend? Back when I was in uni in the eighties, it was rare to have finals on a weekend, let alone midterms.

I so Strongly agree and will do anything to help in this project

Since you have added several new categories now. Does this mean the Editor's Picks will be updated to include them. There are quite a few missing stories from many categories. There are also countless numbers of new writers hoping to get on the list. And before anyone says that it was a selfish plug, NO I did not mean myself. I have read many outstanding stories from writers that just got on here in the last few months since the new spots have opened.

For what it’s worth I fully support the idea of this room, but would ask for a different means of controlling who can enter.

In the Ladies Only Room, we get so many with a doubtful gender.

I appreciate Lush can’t control how someone completes their profile but the “boot” option isn’t always successful as it requires a majority and apathy often reigns.

Could we have some nominated members able to “boot” undesirables?

Hi!

Still around, although it has been ages since I dropped in here for a drink. You know that the anticipation is part of the fun, don't you Laura?

Been a bit busy, with real life and stuff, and kinda signed up for a job around here. As Her Royal Spriteness mentioned in another forum, she's signing my pay cheques now. I do kinda need to discuss that with her though - when she said that there would be a few zeroes on the weekly cheque, I wasn't exactly expecting $0.00.

Autumn weather kicked in the other day around here, although it didn't hang around for long so it's definitely still beer weather. So if the round's still on Buz, I'll have a glass of your finest, thanks Bill.

I thought all the rooms had crowd control in them so didn't give this any thought until I read your post. I am not even sure crowd control is even being used actively in the Ladies of Lush room to be honest.

I think, if Gav is willing to go the extra mile to add crowd control it would be nice as another safety feature, but I feel just getting this far is almost enough to ask for.

You are the best, Sprite!!

Oh, I should mention... I have free Netflix for 6 months. Trying to get my money's worth. Have watched Narcos (Awesome!), Driving
With Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee (some episodes are surprisingly enlightening), David Letterman's (My Next Guest Is - two episodes
so far), and a little here and there. Clearly, no sleep for me. The app to watch stuff on my phone in bed is great.

Hi Sprite, long time no talk to. Its Katland here. Hope you remember me.

However, to answer your concern, one of the biggest problems is we can't openly play in the Ladies room like we used to be able to. Any women that do so are ripped to shreds by the vanillas who are at a minimum into exhibitionism.

Anyhow, between this post and the group I made along with PrettyJoanne, we are hoping to show the moderators there is significant interest. That and there are other rooms not getting much attention as is. Why not repurpose one of those rooms for what Inand the others at our group are suggesting?

Good evening all, we are finally having some warm weather and drying out. Hope everyone is well.

My son is getting his big boy bed this week and is quite excited. In regards to Jeff and Ping's stories, I can't wait to teach him checkers and chess. Right now, I have to settle for Candyland, which is a bullshit game by the way, because there is no skill involved. It's just random chance.

Still turning my wheels trying to come up with something for the comp.

Jeff, I agree the eliottlacey's latest is quite good. I don't know how the poets on here consistently deliver. I feel like I need a certain level inspiration for writing poetry that I don't need when writing prose.

Tonya, you post your comp entry yet? Or are you still fiddling with the editing?

Sara, thanks for the cupcakes.

Beer me please.
