Aye, and I wouldn't expect it to be any other way. I'd offer some firewood, but there's nowhere to really store it in the apartment...

Did they find the prick who stole the tools?

No they never did, JayDee. It is not a surprise that the tools and thief were never found to the rest of us. Considering they were consecrated tools, the man's stupidity in leaving them where they could be stolen means he actually deserved to lose them.

it's good to see you back!

Good to have you back. And wonderful to hear that you're doing better.

Glad to hear you're getting better!

Funny thing is that the holies and such are not being lazy at all. I simply have the best relationship with the New age Christians, the Jewish group, the Ba'Hai's, and the Buddhists who participate alongside a couple Catholic branches in the Peace 12/12 initiative here. I'm the one priest that the other religious leaders respect and can work with the easiest. I don't have a resentment problem unlike several priests and priestesses from the covens and groves of other groups so...

yeah, everyone asks me to be the one who coordinated as I have the 25 year plus solid reputation for zero egomania, and even the reservation Medicine people know I won't screw anyone over. My lack of chip on shoulder toward any specific religion (Only people get my chip) and ego, coupled with running a genuine open hermetics/training place is what makes me so ideal to everyone who chooses to participate.

Guess you could say it is one helluva big deal to have so many religion leaders have so much faith in me as a person, although it is mega exhausting. The fact they all respect me enough to work with me specifically, and I shut down the resentments and back biting moments is proof that Peace 12/12 can work when the right person is placed in the leadership position.

Awesome that you dressed up for the holiday, Kagome. I went as a viking this year myself. ROFL. Figured I should put my Sir name to good use for once. The fake fur was nice and warm. I still have to finish washing the last of the platters from the feast, but that will go fast enough once I stop procrastinating. LMAO.

We dressed as conspiracy nuts with UFO t-shirts and foil hats.

Awesome, George. Wish I could have seen the outfits.

Sometimes I wonder what the gods are planning for us when they drop this sort of thing on us.

 and hang in there...

Thanks for the link Disiderius Price.

Bronx, I am looking at it as a purge year. The craziness has done much to clean out drama queens and negative folks that leach off others. So the Temple will be in far better stead with their ilk gone. Plus the temple can be in a better placement in the new bungalow place since we have a huge yard.

Isn't that why we write fic?

It's more fun on the porch while someone gets the barbeque going.

Thanks guys. Most of my need of a vacation is for real world craziness. This has been a really rotten year for me.

Huge bear hug back, Bronx. LOL on the vacation. Everyone always tells me I am the glue that holds them plus the damned world together so I know they appreciate me. I'm just exhausted after a year of being the most stubborn rock to ever exist on steroids. 10 deaths and the fall out has me exhausted out of my ever loving mind so I am getting whiny.

The downside of being both capable and reliable is that people notice.

Very true, George. I just go through short periods of extreme exhaustion trying to make sure that I live up to my rep I suppose. LOL

That’s wonderful news about your friend! And hooray to replacing the windshield.

It’s funny how the to-do list never gets shorter, though, isn’t it? But we persist!

@CloverReef  Musk things he can get us there in 100 years so maybe you’ll live long enough to see it since he’s leading a group of eccentric Billionaires in the charge for space since Governments have turned on science of late.

GeorgeGlass: Yes things are looking good for  now.

Bronx, I know the honey do list never ends . . . LMAO, Fix one thing and the next thing breaks. But it is nice to finally get a couple super major expensive repairs out of the way do\\for a while. Hehehe. Now I can go back to all the cheap fix stuff I been ignoring.

I really wish it would. Doug committed Suicide with a sawed off shotgun this week. Helping his wife clean up is going to be gut churning. I’m so tired of this unpleasant suicide habit happening around me. It’s a sign that America’s going to shit hardcore no matter what the Wall street number crunchers keep yapping.

Jesus, fuck, that’s some shit to deal with. I feel for you.

Thanks, and I know it better than most. Trump’s America is mostly part time jobs and not much else. Most families are a single paycheck away from losing their homes and all sorts of crap. 2019 is a freaking nightmare for most people I know. 15 hour work weeks don’t work for people. Only for pathological lying government morons.

Then write the way YOU want to write, not the way others expect you to write. Writers should always please themselves first before they please others.

Write it how it feels right to you. I know folks will be disappointed in the sex scene for my big project, but frankly I couldn't give a damn. It's awkward and clumsy and tender, just like it's supposed to be, and I couldn't be happier with it.

Grins. I have written some clumsy scenes that conveyed the newness and the emotions well. However, in doing so, I unwittingly made the sex really hot, or so I have been told. ROFL. No worries, I will get through this sooner or later. Just have to get satisfied with it, the hardest part of writing in my case.

I'm going to have to borrow gear, and replace 2 $600.00 a piece Canvas base camp tents before November 10th this year for the yearly base camp service I do for Hunters each year. I have my stomping grounds that have Mule deer and I'm well respected for my abilities as a chuck cook and real abilities to rough it in style. I'm so freaking furious!!!!!!

Jeez, that sucks a substantial amount of ass. Sorry, K.

The insurance company that is supposed to make good on the stolen goods is already talking about how they can't honor their contract so yeah, sucks ass is taking on all new meanings. Plus, my roommate has 4 grand in pro mechanic's tools that got stolen and that's even harsher than my current fucked up situation because he needs the tools for his work!

Agreed, Bronx. Last time I saw so much chaos was in 2001. I lost a dozen family members that year, most during the infamous Oklahoma City bombing. I've got multiple friends/family facing horrific situations. I'm tied up in multiple messenger/email/phone conversations every single day. Was elected by Granma Nancy Carol to matriarch status on her death bed a few years back. Is a very heavy burden suddenly.

Take care of yourself, too. Is there anyone you can delegate one problem to?

Dale was my backup, and he died a few days ago. I got hit with everyone he was trying to field for me, plus playing peacekeeper for his funeral arrangements. Between the crazy psycho religious mother, an ex wife from hell, his clingy sister, plus current lover, I have been trapped without end online and on the phone at the same time. His funeral will be tomorrow.

Same as last round, the elders all seem to be determined that they are dying as groups. Another married couple within 3 weeks of each other, and so forth has been the norm this year. Moving into a bigger place and other things also been on the catch up list.

Sorry to hear the craziness continues unabated.

But maybe the move is a good start in getting to a quieter, more productive time for you.

The new place is great. No leaking/rotted out ceiling collapsing. Is all that matters to me. The boys have their own room, and I have a bathtub to soak my messed up hip. May still be holding the different families together all the time, but I am not afraid to sleep at night.

You should NEVER have to apologize for being ill, dear.

Just work on getting yourself better. That's the important thing.

Thanks everyone. I am getting better now. Will take a few days to get my right hand working correctly, but I am finally on the mend.

Believe me, I have not accepted their offer. ROFL. I was simply stunned that someone was actually offering to pay me to write a fan fiction story in their place. The ghost writing contract comment was about the reality of being coerced to write a story for someone else because they are too lazy to write out their ideas on their own.

You might want to explain to them that they need to write their own fan fiction, because orange is one of those colors that looks dreadful on most people. Right after they brush up on copyright law. This is an area that is getting intense scrutiny, in the post-50 Shades flurry of notoriety that fan fiction is enjoying.

Understood, and I do know better than most what problems exist with the situation. Mostly, I was in a sarcastic mood from failing miserably at getting things like copyright across to said pigheaded individual. Hence my sarcastic "do I want to get mixed up with this control freak?" line at the end. Sorry if my self directed sarcasm did not come across clearly.

Thanks for the hug and sending one right back to you, Bronx. Writing compulsively has long been my pressure valve release, so I have been getting Muscle locked and stressed out for quite some time. When my shoulder blades suddenly unlocked and dropped last night I thought I was going to feint for a few minutes. ROFL.

It's a good feeling, isn't it? I'm cleaning up my NaNo and fixing all the stuff that's desperately wrong, and I love it.

Awesome. Let me know if you decide to post it here so I can get some decent eye candy to enjoy. I've been too broke to feed much of my reading habit this year with all the craziness I was fixing everywhere. :{

Hehe, glad you liked it. I love http://terribleminds.com blogs because they add humor while keeping everything very realistic. # 14 was my fave of the listing because of the truth involved. The fact it is okay if the pair does not have simultaneous orgasm was mentioned was a relief for me as a writer. I actually thought double bust was required writing, but now found that it need not be so plastic world after all. #3 was another fave because it has a lot of truth also. IF you don't get...

Oh, gods, that was utterly perfect! I've bookmarked that, and I will read it faithfully, and hug it, and squeeze it, and name it George...

I love this specific blog site because of the humor in many of the articles. I have seen several great tongue in cheek blogs at terrible minds site. When I am down, it always makes me grin to read the blogged tidbits offered. I'm glad you liked this one so much.

It sure does. I do not jest when I say I get withdrawals. I was having them for 6 weeks as I did nothing but revision and posting. Shudders in memory.

I have discovered what you may already know. Editing spawns plunnies. A great many of them. I'm not sure if I should be editing or outlining.

Chuckles. I get a combination of the bunnies and plunnies. My plunnies are multitudes of unrelated animes. Thankfully, I have a knack for ignoring them in favor of getting the revisions done to spite all plunnies.

I hear you. I don’t know if the guy was good looking or not. Didn’t get a good look at him as it was dark out. He was scrawny from what I could see. Got the impression he was probably younger than my grown sons.

Kush, perhaps? It’s a problem where I live. And my wife (the social worker) says it’s very easy to get hold of a bad batch that can make you extra-crazy—or seriously ill. One day last month, the police had to take a dozen people from the park to the hospital because they got poisoned by the stuff.

I heard the cops talk about Flakka, so I looked it up online. Damned nasty drug from what I learned, George. The people strip and go crazy, and as they come down they try to go cannibal. The other top contender was bath salts according to the cops.

ROFL. I would agree if it were a normal mead for drinking and getting drunk off of for fun. However, this is not your normal drinking booze variety recipe. It is a genuine ancient recipe passed down through the priesthood in my family for a very long time. So yeah, I make 4 gallons per year because of the time, effort ,and unusual ingredient list that it requires. To be honest, it tends to mess with the senses in ways that normal drunken states do not.

I can imagine! But for getting squiffy, I stick to wine or sake myself. Sweet drinks give me the worst hangovers.

Hahaha I am a rum or whiskey gal myself, Bronx. 151 Bacardi or Wild Turkey 101 being my standard drinks. If I want sweet I go with Drambuie, Ameretto, or Grand Marnier. LOL. But, as a rule, I don't really like the taste of many types of alcohol beyond that very small list.

Thanks, George. Long time no hear. Good to see you are doing okay and still around also.

I'm in the throes of Hell Week, but next week should begin my peaceful time. Or else I will have to skillet people into a state of tranquility...

I hear you, Bronx. Hope the family is doing well in spite of Hell Week happening.

Excellent! It's always nice to get that useful concrit!

And all it took was to come to AFF! Seek all truth at AFF. *bows to its supremacy*

Yeah FFnet reviews said you want doshite, but never said which word needed to be replaced. I have 1 page crib sheet of Japanese from the book "Japanese in 10 Minutes a Day" so needed to know which word was wrong. Seems there are several context versions of What and Why both to learn. Also learned that the spellings are off in the book I bought. Oh well, Live and learn. Gotta find a real translation book now.

tell me about it i can't write either

Same here. I patter around with the file open but I'm stuck too. This happens every summer.

Wish I could open my file. All the craziness in my case is friends and family losing their minds. Having the psychology education in my background means I am getting swamped with calls and visits about all the dim things they do. This would not happen if they would take 10 minutes to think about things. Instead they all make bad choices that they wish me to fix.

::hugs:: Just be sure to take care of YOU, too!

"Life? Don't talk to me about life..." Seriously, hope things are improving at your end.

Thanks guys for thinking of me. My 24 year old son is a wreck and a half since he found his father dead several days after the fact. It is very hard to handle his blinding rage fits, and the pathologically lying girlfriend from hell that he saddled himself with for some strange reason. Been a very rough few months with cleaning up the disaster left in my Ex's suicides wake.

Yay! glad you are feeling better - keep takin it easy until you are sure.

One step at a time.

Thanks so much for all the good vibes. I miss everyone so much of late. AFF is my sanity!
