Hey all, been kinda busy but thought I'd pop in to say hi. Paddling: thx for the Cult, one of my fav bands!

Hoping all the best for your results Kimmi. (Also waiting on some biopsy results.)

My approach or mindset on health issues may not be for everyone but the way I figure it: If I die I have nothing to worry about. If I don't die then I have nothing to worry about. Therefore: I have nothing to worry about. 😀🤣😀 So I ate a whole pizza to celebrate.

I'd like a strawberry soda please.

that's incredibly selfish of you. what about the rest of us?

A little bit of Firefly, a little bit of dystopian steampunk, a lot of imaginative world and character building - and the dialogue! with some kinky sex thrown in. I've been watching Rowan grow for a while now, learning his craft and penning some unique, sometimess boundary-pushing, stories, so i am pleased as punch to see him awarded with his first EP. Congratz, dude. keep it up.

Greetings from cloudy Normandy!

I hope you all are behaving … but behaving WELL this time … in my absence!

We went to Mass a Notre Dame early on Monday, then wandered around the building afterward. It is FAR cleaner – and more popular – now than it was last time we visited!. A couple of photos for you all, plus the view out of Jay's cousin's window in Normandy, just to remind you all that I'm still alive and … well …

Y'all take care now, y'hear?

you doing the beaches or graveyards while you're there?

I voted 6, being the age at which i killed my first... umm.. nvm

Quote by Just_A_Guy_You_Know

I've just worked out a rough draft for the winning competition story. You can all stop writing now.

thank god i didn't get very far.

Quote by Seeker4

I am so close to submitting it hurts. Just can't settle on which of two endings to use.

scrap them both and write a third one

Quote by LuceDevlin

Welp, maybe I should re-install Grammarly then, I know I got issues with spacing (as the mods have told me multiple times lol) so that will at least help with the story being returned a zillion times. Not to mention my issues with commas. I think I've gotten better, but yknow human error prevails. (even those of us like me that are an ink-ubus at heart )

i have an ellipsis problem.... hides.

Quote by TheShyThespian

Also, how come a new competition is announced with a theme about the elements just 12 days after my last story was published, where the key scene towards the end was, quite literally, centred on the elements of earth, wind and water...🙄(and lightning - no fire, but definitely lightning!).

Just how do you explain that, huh?

Huh?😒

we actually time our comp announcements based on your submissions. Jen has a cruel sense of humor. i've talked to her about it, but what can i say; she's Scottish.

Quote by AAnna

This sounds fun! Need to get an idea. Earth wind and fire that would make a good name for a rock band😁

I think it's been done... maybe earth wind and water might be a better choice? lol

Quote by LuceDevlin

Question, does the use of AI include using AI art for the cover art for the story? Cos I've seen some cover art for stories that looks like AI art to me, which is saying something cos sometimes I can't tell, but I'm trying to get better at discerning what art is AI and which is just some human artist's digital art.

AI art for the cover is fine. I think a lot of us do that. i know I do.

Quote by WannabeWordsmith

By all means write a story based around Holmium, Ho. 🤭😁

You're on, mofo. lol ❤️

new competition up for all you writers.

what about the other 114 elements? You only listed 4.

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

Quote by LYFBUZ

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

Quote by construction65

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.

Quote by simplyjohn

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.

Quote by LYFBUZ

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.

Quote by fuzzy1954

Florida’s cold snap which can cause iguanas to fall from trees;

Now music

i live in Seattle, I grew up in the bay area. went to get together with friends last night for the SF-Seattle game. want to guess how hard i got roasted? lol not a good game

points to feet, makes massaging motions, waits...

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.

lol sprite would be my first choice.😈

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