When I had lived in So Cal, took a year and a half to realize there was a leak in my apartment roof (simply because it hadn’t rained for so long)

Rain in Arizona… who’s been praying to the rain gods?

The ones who post in Cyrillic text are just assholes, pure and simple.  The half-wit who posted about the roofing company in North Carolina had me confused, though.  Were the posts actually from that roofing company in the vain hope that erotic fanfiction writers and readers would flock to his company, or was it someone who puts the “eeeeeeee!” back in “Evangelical” trying to drive business away from that roofing company by spamming this site.

Website allows for anonymous posting; spammers are spammers, shit on everything.

Once a moderator wakes up, it’ll be banished.  Though with Melrick on vacation, that’ll be longer.

I occasionally spiked the canned food with tuna, my furbabies usually appreciated that! 

Have a great vacation!

Have a wonderful time! We’ll try to behave but I’m not making any promises!  

No internet?  Oh, that’s very primitive!  Count to Infinity will suffer
Enjoy it, and whatever you do—don’t get caught! 

I didn’t check if I had any… if I did, I was thinking about starting them at a perfectly reasonable hour, like 4AM.

Fireworks are completely legal where I live... Things are gonna get loud…
Happy 4th everyone. 😅

I had to disable autocomplete ages ago.  It had a conflict with my blu-tooth keyboard I was using, where it’d start auto-SENDING text messages after auto-correcting.  I’d rather have a typo than that going on.

That looks like the reason you were looking for to disable autocomplete.

A more technical explanation, as I typed, it’d pop-up the auto-suggestion, and focus would change, while I kept typing, thus the results were a tad unpredictable.  However, the phone auto-sending text messages while I was still composing them was, unacceptable.

New story, to help corral all those WIPs that are getting up to no good.

Normally, when you work with a publisher, even a small independent press, they will provide editing and proofreading services. However, if you’re going it alone, and self-publishing, you still want an editor.
There are a number of organizations that provide editing services to writers who aren’t working with a publishing house. Google turned up a few things, but this might be a good start:  https://www.the-efa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Guidebook-for-new-authors-2020.pdf
This one also looked like it had potential:  https://www.book-editing.com/editors-for-indie-authors/

That’s a tough one.

I vote for writing.

Thanks everybody. I was a mess when I found out, and it shows. 
NGL, I rolled myself up in a blanket like a burrito, cried until I got sick, and ate my feelings, but in the last few days, I’ve gotten some clarity. We got warning in time to do something about it, and continuing to fret over what’s to come won’t do anyone any good. The best thing I can do for now is follow the vet’s recommendations, spoil the little monster rotten, and wait to see if the next appointment shows any improvement; the vet did say there’s a slim possibility that dehydration could cause a false positive. Woozle is hanging in there so far. You wouldn’t even believe certain vital organs are taxed to the verge of shutting down. The good news is he’s being surprisingly cooperative with the treatment plan, and he’s getting lots of treats. His sister, Heiferlump, has been noticeably less pushy about demanding attention, probably because Woozle won’t take attention if he feels like there’s a competition over it. These two are so complicated.
As for Cold…I’m honestly not sure. Being on the spectrum, he can be hard to read, especially regarding grief and worry. He’s drinking a bit more often than before—never much ant once, or I’d worry—and he’s not talking about it. He has, however, been nothing but supportive, and he’s helping with Woozle’s medications. I’m holding out so far…mostly. I have to.
I’ll give the little orange runt some bellyrubs for y’all. God knows how much he loves those.
