Harness it, harness it, don’t let it escape!

Yep, it’s a good movie, but sad knowing it’s his final Star Trek performance (assuming they don’t rehash anything already shot).

All my love to you and the family for a wonderful Christmas!   

But I’ll second Willow’s wishes for everyone. No matter how you celebrate, may your days be filled with joy and wonder. 

And that should of course have been Saturday and Sunday, since the 24^th and 25^th came up on those days   But whatever, the greeting still stands.   

And all my love to you and the family, @BronxWench for a wonderful Christmas too.    

Your opinion is always worth a lot, Bronxwench. 🙂

Appreciated, Desiderius.  Sorry I didn’t review more than the first chapter of Fiends, but while I eventually made it through the second chapter, I wasn’t sure how to write the review for it (there are elements framed as scientific necessities in-universe that are more about kink/personal favorite ideas, and I wasn’t sure how seriously to analyze them), so I never ended up doing that.  I looked around to see if you had a short story I could review, but it seems you have the familiar writer’s curse of the stories growing ever longer.

*glances at my own unfinished, ever-expanding stories*

Trust me, I know this feeling. 😅

Also trust me on being with you on wanting to keep the separation of church and state intact.  I will do whatever I can over the next four years.

@InBrightestDay Yeah, kinks are in there, and it’s one of the earlier stories meant to be rewritten and updated once I get all the others done.  (I’m trying to forbid myself from new projects until there, because there’s some interesting things slated to happen toward the end of Fiends that basically kickstarts where I intended to take the series.)  There *are* some short stories sprinkled into the holiday/halloween fests (I’ve since cross-posted those to AO3).

In terms of elections, don’t forget to pay attention to things like board of education, local offices; those are things your vote has a much greater impact on.  My local board of education had a couple of candidates that seemed to be regurgitating the Trump/Religious-Right manifestos, and luckily neither of them made it (this time).

@Desiderius Price, apologies about not replying to this yesterday, but way ahead of your there.  Did my research on the local district school board members.  We had one running on that “empowering parents” idea (first name was Karen, amusingly enough), who I voted against.  She lost.  I’ll stay on it.

::head meets desk:: Well… today I’ve got actual snow. As in big ass flakes and no visibility past 2 or 3 kilometres… I swear, the Vikings were idiots, thinking this rock was inhabitable… 

Oh no! I feel for you Willow

Thank you, CloverReef… and I’ll cross everything for you, for the medical appointment. 

RIGHT?! I guess he’s the proof that growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional…  

Don’t grow up, it’s a TRAP! 

I absolutely agree with that… that’s why I still haven’t grown up

Well, me, I’d put on something like a bathing suit, find a sunny spot, and bask happily. Even more so if I remember wine and a good book.

If only that were allowed at school  

What can I say? I’d have been on the quad, soaking up the sun and hoping to copy notes from someone later. Come to think of it, I should finish my “why I want to go back to school” essay, shouldn’t I? 

Holy cow, Neko-baby…

We just have that miserable sort of heavy mist version of rain which is too light for an umbrella and too heavy to go without. And we had a baseball lunch thing… I need Motrin, and lots of it.

Storm has blown over, and electricity came back on about an hour ago   Gotta love storms up here… at least on my little corner of the island. 

pets achy brain

Trust me, most of us don’t understand linguistics. We butcher our native tongues, and manage to learn grammar rules only for other languages.  

I can't be sure, but it's probably the direct hits to the brain.

stress will weaken that ya know...

::snuggles Neko Wench::

I honestly didn't know that, DG. But this does suck, I get sick more often now, than when I used to smoke.

Bad velvet cake?

Sick nephew... I've got the most sensitive gag reflex in history.

And what a story it is! Awesome, Neko-baby!

*giggles* I made a thing!

Rulership is hard... Your Highness.

::huggles her neko:: But at least you got sparklies...

::huggles and cuddles::

I hear a lot of husbands enjoy cheesecake too. I dunno if they have a snack while enjoying it.

::chokes on smoothie:: Is that having your cheesecake and eating her, too?

:clap:

::huggles Neko:: And it was a well deserved promotion!

I haz two queens which might object....with tooth and claw...they sure do when I don't kowtow PROPERLY every day! ^^ Dang cats.

Should I embrace my inner wolf and bark? Nothing gets a cat more angry than that...

*SK has now officially made into the black book of naughty Harem Boys and will have no cookies for a month*

congrats

I knew you would!

Congrats!

Witchy recommends NAP.

::pounces and hugs:: Wenchie recommends cuddles...

Chocolate, warm milk, and a bed in that order. :nod:

Just have children. Isn't that what they're for, spare parts? If not then I'm confused.

And now I feel bad.

Sorry, Mel. That was mean of me. I've just been having a really bad couple of days, and got mean.
