A mug of Yorkshire tea, please, Bear. ☕️ Thank you, and I look forward to reading your competition story. 😊😈

Lovely Autumn morning here (actually, as I write this, time sneaks into the afternoon). I'm reading a few more competition stories today, and writing in between, as my sciatica is limiting what I can actually do! The next appointment on that is in 4 weeks. Over to see grandchildren Wednesday and stag do Saturday. My feeling is that I won't make it to the end; the hotel has already been booked. 😳😎

A happy belated birthday to Mrs Ape. 😊🎂

Sciatica is a bitch! Hope you can get some relief.

Stopping in for a quick cuppa before the gym. Busy day today. Workout, chiropractor, hair, lunch with friends, and then some website work this afternoon. I only have a couple of clients whose sites need updates but I need to get that off my plate. Hoping to work on my comp story later too! And do some modding.

The Lions won again yesterday. And we won free T-shirts at the sports bar yesterday, so that was cool!

Hope your Monday is starting off well. 🥰😘

Home from Disney and ready to start our busy day here.

Cheers to David and also to Mrs. Ape. Happy birthdays 🎉

Just a Coke Zero for me today. But put some fancy fruit garnishes in it for me. (I'm on an antibiotic that is actually working and don't want to mess that up).

Have a wonderful day! Go Lions! 🦁🏈💙

Hey Barkeep aka Bear, Please put anyone’s drink stopped by on my tab including Coke Zero to celebrate my BD, 74 trips around the sun and counting. 🍻🥃🍷🍹

Happy Birthday! 🎈🎂❤️

Bummer about no visit with your granddaughter, Bear. Hopefully she will be better quickly.

Doing the Magic Kingdom thing today. 😎

Will be submitting a story soon. Drafted 862 words for comp entry Thursday night, but wasn't feeling it so stopped. I'll try to read what I have so far, compare to my outline and decide how best to proceed.

If I get stuck with that or bored, I'd pivot to the next story on my editing list and review that for any logic gaps. Then I'd make my notes on what gaps need to be filled.

I was struggling with my comp story as well, so I ended up going back to a story I was writing about the Gold Rush and suddenly the words were flowing for that story. I managed to finish THAT one and it's turned out quite nicely. Now perhaps I can go back to the comp story and make some headway. 🥰

Quote by wxt55uk

I rarely recommend other authors' stories, however, as she is currently enjoying Disneyland! So, she is unlikely to read this! 🙄😉 Do give Kat's latest story a read. Here is the link: A Rush of Gold

It is a Recommended Read, and deservedly so. Take note of the words she uses to create old-fashioned realism. 😀

I will also go as far as saying it is one of her best stories she has ever written. My opinion. 😇😈

Thank you so much, David. I truly enjoyed writing this story and worked hard to make it feel authentic. So it pleases me greatly to have it being so well-received. I can’t thank you enough for your support. 😘🥰

I'm just popping in to say "Hi" and prove that I am still around. A mug of Yorkshire tea, please, Bear, and yes, I know it is self-service, but hey, don't you get table service in the USA? 😜😎

On the guys' buns, yes, he needs to get that costume off. Otherwise, he'll get terrible tan lines! I can't think of another reason to take them off! 🤣

It's been dull most of this week on the south coast of England; it's a little brighter today. Do check out my competition story if you get a chance; I'm quite proud of this one!

Have a great weekend, everyone. I will be popping in and out of Rumpies today as I am reading a few comp stories (plus Kat's new one) and editing one of my own. 😀

Now that I finished my Gold Rush story, I can focus on finishing my comp story. Then I can start reading the others. Yours is at the top of my list!

I have (I think) 6 more categories to go until I have at least two stories in every category. I’m hoping my comp story can satisfy one of those categories. 🥰

Why are the buns covered, Bear? 🙀

Loved those bartender jokes and plan to share them with others. I had lunch with a friend yesterday (who happens to be a married gay man) and we were celebrating the blue wave, but also contemplating what needs to happen for REAL change to occur. So, let’s send these new senators and governors on their way after sharing drinks with them and hope that the universe guides them in meaningful ways.

🥰🍻🥂

I’m at Disney again for the next couple of days (of course I am) but I will pop in occasionally. TGIF!

Quote by deviantsusie

Congratulations.. join the club.. it's great to stretch yourself.. next up.. 2 stories in each category lol

That’s what I’m working on! I think I have 6 more categories to go. 🤪

Thanks Bear! It’s an oldie but a goodie!

Yes let’s all take a moment to hope the blue wave pans out. Progress is needed and like everyone told Mac about Grace, “Don’t fuck it up!”

Busy day and yet I feel so much better than I have in… over two years or longer… that I feel energized to get things done.

Off to Disney tonight for a long weekend with some friends. It’s our annual extravaganza. Looks like good weather.

Have a great day all y’all!

Anyone getting (or still getting) error messages? The site says I have nine new notifications but when I check em, it either freezes up or says I haven't got any.

I’ve been able to log on a lot easier this week but still getting things like error messages and notifications that won’t go away.

Thanks for the drinks, Bear!

We voted early since Kevin is traveling this week. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 as we are electing a new governor here in Florida.

Some races look like Devil vs Deep Blue Sea, but please still vote, my fellow Americans. 🇺🇸

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Have at it, girl!!! Drinks are on me, and the toys will happily be on you!

YUMMM!

Kiss Me In The Rain - I'm so thankful for the love I have!

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Have some drinks on me, Katherine Or you can play with some of my toys in Storeroom #4. That always makes me feel better.

I want drinks! I wanna play in Storeroom #4! I finally feel better and I wanna celebrate!

So, I sat in church today, on All Saints' Day, listening to Deacon Tony tell us all that our goal was to be saints. My husband and I looked at each other and shrugged. Nope. That's not my goal. My goal is to not get struck down by lightning when I walk through the door there. LOL. (Have you read my stories, Deacon Tony? No candidate for sainthood here).

Doing a little modding before we head off to watch the Lions play!

Wishing everyone good health! Never give up on a mission to get well. I don't want to jinx myself but I woke up with less sinus junk going on today. Knock on wood. I shall keep you all posted.

We enjoyed seeing Alice Cooper last night. He's an amazing performer who defies Mother Nature. At 78 he has more energy than most people I know.

Quote by Seeker4

My son a ran his first half this summer. Not sure he killed it but he finished. He seems to dance from thing to thing as far as exercise so we will see if he still at it next summer.😋

My daughter is running a full marathon in January. She's hooked.

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Did the dentist fix your issues? I hope! ❤️

I think the teeth problems are fixed. No lets see if this had anything to do with the sinus issues. 🤷‍♀️

In honor of my girl killing it at the 1/2 marathon she ran over the weekend, I thought I'd bring in a plate of fun cookies to share.

I'll be having a Coke Zero today, please, and thanks. Taking pain meds for the 4 hours of dental work I had done today, and it seems like a cocktail might not be a good choice.

Congratulations! Welcome to the club!

Disney weekend with my youngest and her hubby! I can't wait to hug my girl.

Hoping all y'all have something fun to look forward to this weekend! TGIF 😎

I'm working on a story for the comp, but I'm not sure if it's going anywhere. Aside from that, I have a few other stories in the works.

Just in time for the witching season: She Cast A Spell On Me

Although I waited an hour past my appointment time, I DID get to see the dentist today. Apparently, I have decay under one crown, and I probably need a root canal under the other. I go back next Tuesday for a lovely 3-hour appointment that will end up costing me a small fortune, since I've already used all my dental benefits this year. Since I need to take both Motrin and Tylenol every 4-6 hours to keep the pain at bay, I really can't afford to wait. Sighs...

But on the bright side, we are going to Disney Fri-Mon with my youngest and her husband, and I'm so excited to spend time with them. It will be a great way to take my mind off my teeth.

I'd have a drink, but I think I'd better stick to Coke Zero.

Quote by Ensorceled

I just published a trio of micros called Sexdoll. They revolve around a series of MMF threesomes involving a married couple and a stranger. A different stranger every time.

The woman at the center of the stories--let's call her Sexdoll--is realising that the submissive in the situation is really the one in charge.

She holds the power, but lets the men believe that they do. They're easier to control that way.

I'm smiling because not only do we both have a "Dirty Little Slut" story, but we also both have a "Good Girl" microfiction. I'll need to move yours up on my reading list. 😉😘

I like to picture Carl this way. Thanks for sharing, Dave. ❤️

Quote by Seeker4

Holy sheep. If she keeps growing like that, the WNBA will be calling. 😁

New dishwasher is here and ... Mrs. Seeker doesn't like it. 😒

To be fair, the racks in the unit are different from what is in the photos, which is the source of the problem.

30 day return but with a restocking charge.😬

I'd think you could ask them to waive the restocking charge, since the racks differ from the photos. That's a bit like false advertising on their part.

It's a gloomy, rainy day here on the beach. We will probably work on our latest mini-brick building project. The Colosseum. Over 5,000 tiny little bricks. 😳

Mother Nature seems to be doing her best to keep me on the ground. The hot-air balloon ride we had scheduled during our South Dakota trip got canceled because of heavy winds. And today we were supposed to go tandem skydiving, but the rain spoiled those plans. Ah well. Maybe it's a sign?

The Lions have a bye this week, so tomorrow we'll head over to our sports bar hangout and watch the Bucs lose. 🤣

As for grandchildren who have the audacity to keep growing, LW is now 5'10" at 13 years old. (He passed me up when he was 10, so I feel Jay's pain).

I'm gonna grab a cup of tea and do a little reading until lunchtime.
