    Any Aussies in the path of the floods, remember, if the authorities say to leave then you should LEAVE! You can't hold back a flood.

      Water is wicked. Stay high and dry. :(

      Thankfully we're just awful wet here, without flooding.

    Any fans of the British horror writer James Herbert will be sad to learn he's died, aged only 69.

      That's unfortunate. May these talented stars rest in peace. =(

    Any Harry Potter fans signed up for that Pottermore website yet? If so, is it worth it?

      Danyealle

      yes, and I had a great deal of fun with it. Just waiting for them to post up the 2nd book now

      I decided to join up. It is rather fun, isn't it.

      Danyealle

      it is! It's like a giant hidden object game where you learn interesting things. It's fun to play

    Australia has an election coming up to vote for a new leader, a Prime Minister. Our election campaign season? 1 single month, and then it's all over. And we STILL complain about the length of it.

      I am so moving to Australia. I have been getting survey calls for MONTHS about our city mayoral election. Granted, other positions are also up for elections, but gods be good, I hate the phone by now.

    3. Melrick

      Melrick

      I just don't understand why US elections have to go for SO LONG!

      Duct tape. The choice of pit fiends everywhere.

  8. Melrick

    Day after day after day of 105 degrees and 90% humidity, and with no end in sight. I've really, really had enough. This is, without doubt, worse than anything I experienced in Singapore, and that country is on the equator!

      Our roads are a sheet of ice. You all are welcome to come and visit.

      I'll take the snow any day. Breathe easy. Iced tea?

    4. Melrick

      Melrick

      Actually, I finished the iced tea off days ago. But I'll be getting more tomorrow, in a blessedly air conditioned supermarket...

  9. Melrick

    Dear god, this is so utterly exhausting. I need to sleep for a week or two.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      The hardest part is remembering to take care of yourself, too.

    2. Melrick

      Melrick

      Boy, you're not wrong there. It's easier not to.

    Don't you hate it when a sentence doesn't end the way you think it octopus?

    Due to all the construction work going on around here, the Monthly Prompt Challenge won't be begin until the start of September instead.

      Looking forward to it!

    Favourite quote of the day: "Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master."

    1. BronxWench

      That is utterly worthy of brain bleach...

    Finally wrote, and actually finished, a new story. That's the first one in a long time, and it's birth wasn't too easy, either.

      I'll tell you, I'm quite happy with the fact that if I want to read staff stuff, it's always going to be GOOD stuff. We're blessed with having excellent writers on staff except for me and Rogue of course :D

  15. Melrick

    For good or bad, I'm back in action again, which means regular access to my own computer again. But I'd give it all up to not have to say good bye.

    1. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      awwww

    2. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      I can understand that. But for what it's worth, it's good to have you back again.

    3. Melrick

      Melrick

      Thanks.

    For US people out there: If anyone can show me recipes for what you call biscuits and for scones then send me the links. We don't have what you call 'biscuits' (that I've noticed) and I'm curious to see the ingredients to see if they're basically the same things. Thanks.

      This is a pretty basic biscuit recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/southern-biscuits-recipe/index.html As far as scones, I use recipes from a British cookbook for those, so mine are probably the same as what you'd get.

    3. Melrick

      Melrick

      So you lot use scones as a part of your main meals, like with gravy and whatnot? That is some crazy shit going on right there! You lot are wacky. lol

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Yes, we are! Batshit crazy, the lot of us! lol

  17. Melrick

    Fucking great. A day that started pretty ordinary gets a whole lot worse when I get rear-ended in my car. *sigh*

      If the car is written off, the agreed value of it wouldn't even be enough to buy the same car again. So I either have to buy a worse car or put my own money to it. I loose either way.

    3. RogueMudblood

      RogueMudblood

      That absolutely sucks. Is there any hope that they'll choose to fix instead?

    4. Melrick

      Melrick

      Don't know. I'll find out next Wednesday.

    Fun fact: 8 of the top 10 deadliest snakes in the world are Australian. The worlds deadliest, the Inland Taipan, has enough venom in one bite to kill 230 people.

    1. WillowDarkling

      WillowDarkling

      And that is why I stay the hell away from your backyard, my friend. I'd need full body armor to visit your backyard, honestly...

    2. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      I'm taking great delight in knowing my backyard is safer than Melrick's yard. :D

    3. WillowDarkling

      WillowDarkling

      *sniggers* mine's safer. No snakes at all... and no lizards, or frogs, or even deadly spiders.

    Going bald? Here's a cure from 1748: Take an ounce of pulverised cat shit, mix it with the juice of onions and rub into scalp. You can thank me later.

      I think I'd rather look into some scalp tattoos… or a bad toupee :D

      Tattoos. Definitely tattoos.

    4. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      I'd shave my head and turtlewax it

    Good presents, a big lunch, followed by a nap in the afternoon, when you're getting old like me, that's about as good as Christmas gets!

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Sounds like a perfect Christmas! All the best to you! :)

    Got my flu jab today for the upcoming winter. And for those who still think the flu jab can give you the flu, I'm declining the temptation to call you an idiot. I hope you appreciate my restraint. :D

      Actually, that was me showing tremendous restraint. You should see me when I'm annoyed.

      Raymy

      Honestly, I think this has gone too far. It's easy to read mal-intent when you can't hear inflection. Melrick, I do not deny your right to express yourself, I responded because your initial statement was very challenging towards naysayers. I hold no disrespect for your position, I just gave an opposing one and I thought it was funny that it didn't take much to break your restraints. ;) LockedBox - I don't feel I incited with my view, as my words were not inflammatory, but perh...

    4. Raymy

      Raymy

      Aack! The comment box lets you ramble on but there seems to be a character limit. I was cut off and so was Locked Box. How do you read the entire comment?

      A very happy Mother's Day to her from me as well! :)

    Headache? Pliny the Elder recommended sufferers tie a foxes genitals to your forehead. Let me know how that goes.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      No, thank you. I'll stick to large doses of ibuprofen and a nice hot cup of coffee, if it's all the same...

      You should come to Australia, especially if you're not fond of snow. We also treat our politicians with the contempt they deserve.

      yeah... The moonbats and crazies have descended. Australia and Canada seem pretty good. Anyone need a nurse who has training to deal with almost the full spectrum of issues?

      Nurses are always welcome here.
