I heard from DA, they’ve chosen to “go off the grid” for a time, for family time.

Ah, of course. I’ve been trying not to let myself get upset over all of this. Frankly, I think Trump has done more to dishonor the flag, the anthem and this country than any athlete expressing his opinion as is his right. But Trump TALKED during the moment of silence for 9-11. The people I knew who died that day deserve better.
 

“Irritation pay” should be a thing.

Yes, getting OT.  But ye gods, it doesn’t make up for it after awhile.

Way to go!

It’s one of those awful stories you hear, and hope never happens to you. My original publishers were awesome, but they were also writers and wanted to focus on that rather than on publishing. They sold the press to their general manager, who proceeded, along with her new wife, to steal royalties which should have been in escrow for the authors who earned them. The shell game finally fell apart when they couldn’t pay their biggest names, including the original owners, who were owed thousands of dollars. There was felony check fraud, lies galore, and in the end, we all had to fight to get our rights reverted.
In the end, I don’t think I lost a lot of money. What I did lose was my confidence, and it took a lot for me to send out my book again. I’m thrilled that I did, though, since NSP offered me a seriously professional contract, and I really like their style. So, stay tuned for the expanded and even better version of Ghost’s Sight.

Yeah, my friends who’ve seen/read both say that they're both great for differing reasons and the series is good in its own right. I’ll just box set and binge. And keep grumbling ‘til Winds of Winter comes out.

Oh, you must! While the series does diverge from the books, the weddings alone are worth the dvd set.

The North Remembers!
 

I won’t spoil it for anyone else, but this is going to be one helluva season.  

Arya!!!!!!!!!  

Arya!!!!!!!!!  

Me neither.  Just use a knife.

My daft one pointed out that some of us have closer ties to the Continent, and therefore were raised with the knowledge of how to keep that freaking egg in place.
On he other hand, I have yet to purchase an egg topper.

So generations of Americans grew up never knowing the joys of dunking their soldiers in their soft egg yoke.  You poor underprivileged bastards!

Egg cup

What the hell is an egg cup?

Overtime is nice, but not ALL the time.

I hope it lasts too.  Very tired of the work/sleep work/sleep work/sleep cycle.  With NO time for hardly anything else, except errands.

… ::is not sure whether to trust this, or have entered the TwilightZone:: …. 
I second what Bronxie said, HOORAY!! And I sincerely hope it’ll last for you, DG. 

Well, at least enjoy it while it lasts.

HOORAY!!!!!    

Politics in the US has gone to hell, politics in the UK gone to hell... I never thougjt I'd say this but I'm kind of proud of our mind numbingly boring politicians.

That is brilliant!
As for me, I fear Bernie will never quite muster the people. He’s also not terribly good at sums, sadly, and has no conceivable way, even with much help, of paying for what he wants to do.
BUT Elizabeth Warren is both fiery and intelligent, and a thorn in the side of investment banks and other profitmongers, and Kristen Gillebrand fights for women, and children, and the elderly, and those people the shitgibbon wants to pretend don’t exist (largely because they don’t golf). The chances of two women taking the political reins here is remote, given the misogyny which rules our capitol, and large parts of the country, but by all the gods, were women in charge here, we could see some actual improvements. We need housekeeping, and who in their right mind leaves THAT to the men?
