I too feel that strong urge to delete stories at the pit. None of them mine though.

Dying star, burn still bright
Cling to Life with all your might
The ampitheatre's long abanroned
The city's gone and left you stranded
Your empty audience lies dreaming strange
You stand, unheeded on it's stage
But somewhere else your light has travelled
The darkness that it's touched unravelled
Some will will drink your crimson light
Some won't know the subtle light
But out there, somewhere, your light will find
Another soul to touch and guide
Even unseen, your beauty shines
And will be treasured, by all who find. 
So stand tall and proud, and enjoy the show.
Your life has reach you'll never know.
 

@pippychick I loved it as well, as always. 

@Melrick It was a brilliant day, and I adored spending it with you (as far as we can at any rate). Thank you, Sir.

I've already wished you a happy birthday, of course, but I'll wish you one in public as well. Happy birthday, sweetie. 

Sorry I’m late to the party, but happy birthday, Pippychick!

Happy Birthday, Pippychick!  hope you have a great day. 
 

Thank you all so much!
And it was a great and an incredible day, thank you.   I went out to see a castle, and then one of the oldest churches in England, managed to avoid the showers, and then out for an Italian for tea where they sang Happy Birthday to me, lol. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Btw, I am now going backwards, and I’ve decided to start at twenty-five, though when I get back to school age I expect to be wagging it again.

Happy Birthday to pippychick!

Stews. The potatoes in stews are homicidal little shits. No other veg I add ever holds the heat like those freaking potatoes. And this is exactly why my Viking ancestors pillaged my Irish ancestors. 

LMAO! They need to be careful around those Irish girls, don’t they? ::cackles happily::

Are you sure that’s not how our Irish ancestors got revenge on our Viking ancestors? Like… “Oooh, you want me to be your slave girl? Hang on, let me make you some dinner….”    

Sadly in my case it was a soup, leftovers from the night before, so when I reheated it, the taters became incendiary devices, but the beef was just like “Nah, we’re good with pisswarm”. I wonder if I should start to boil the potatoes separately so I can reheat the soup well, and not get killed by fecking potatoes. 

Circumvent that by heating the meat and the starches separately. Far too many mouths and tastebuds have been laid low by the plotting of the evil tater legion.

I can relate. Last year I spent an hour hiding under a bridge because I got caught in a massive rainstorm while biking home. My wife couldn’t even come pick me up because the streets were flooded.

Yikes!  Well, sorry about that.  I come from Florida, where we get rained on instead of sand-blasted, but I know what it’s like to get smacked with inclement weather.

There’s a domestic and industrial firm near me that advertises itself specifically as “female electrical contractors”. Definitely some out there! Our regular plumber’s a woman too.

Ooh! Has anybody done an electricians romance yet and called it “Sparks” or similar?

Forecast for my area says it may get up to 27c/80f on one day next week. We’re not used to this kind of thing. We live in high, cold places for ONE reason! (Alright, two including avoiding hordes of angry villagers with pitchforks and torches.)
I hope ya able to get cooled down in your places tho’ all.
