Just a thought

On that subject .......

I have met a lot of wonderful people here on GA over the last couple months. Most of you have welcomed me with open arms and hearts. Time for me to open up a bit more for you guys and answer the unasked questions about some of the things i have said. I am pretty open about most things in my life, and I think its pretty important to be very open about this one. If it helps even one person to get through a tough time it is more than worth it!   Last summer i went for my annual boob smushing ( wh

Csr: Discussion Day For Reach By Cassie Q!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Please check out our reminder that political posts are not allowed in GA Forums   Thank you, and now back to Can't Stop Reading Discussion Day for Reach, by Cassie Q!   Has everyone read the story for this month? I hope so, because it was really good! Cassie's Reach is worth the effort to untangle the wicked weave of the twisted plot she wrote.   Do you know arousal?" To make his intentions more clear, Chad stepped forward, trapping the teen against the wall and blatantly i

This Is What Always Happens

I always end up feeling a little bit on the outside. It's nobody's fault but my own. I don't do well in large groups. I used to be the one who just sat in the corner. I'm better now, I can talk to people and partake in group activities, but I invariably keep everyone a little bit at arm's length. Not that I don't share or discuss, I'm quite open most of the time, just that I keep me, the person I am on the inside, the quirks of my personality, a little bit on the inside. So I keep my distance, e

Weekly Wrap Up!

The week started off on a great note with a review by Wicked Witch of Promising Author JMH's The Centurion Cycle.   Wednesday, we had a great (and timely) article by Andrew_Q_Gordon on So you wanna be an Author - hope you took marketing classes. Andy gave us some great tips based on his experience - and timely as he just released his book Purpose yesterday!

Good Bye Exodus

So read another article in the newspaper, but this one has most the same information:   Exodus admits they were wrong   Personally I'm glad there is one less organization that people can turn to and say that they were 'curing' homosexuality.   A couple of pretty amazing statements from the article:     Another quote I saw in the local newspaper but not in the article was that Chambers admitted that they were practicing their beliefs in contrary to what the bible teaches and expects.

World War Z- What book?

Usually when you buy the rights to a book, you assume that the movie is going to be based on the book. Hollyweird is known for taking liberties but in this case they threw away the book and rewrote it.   The only thing that the two have in common are zombies, a mysterious plague that causes them and the United Nations. That's it.       Max Brooks originally wrote World War Z in the style of Studs Terkel's The Good War. It was a collection of stories told by the veterans of World War II.

80's Playlist 1

I feel like re-living the 80's right now...some songs to get me started...   1. You Can Call Me Al- Paul Simon               8. Just Like Heaven - The Cure                 It kind of pisses me off to think that such a great song was denied being number 1 by that horrid George Michael tune, "I Knew You Were Waiting For Me." Ugh. On the other hand, this song has remained far more relevant than the latter, so yay!

Countdown: 10 days!

So, moving day is in just over a week and I'm a little freaked by how much I still have left to do. And then I tell myself that the chaos is normal and I've still got time and I calm down a little again.   Today was the last day of school. I gave my last final and recorded my last grade. I turned in my keys and emptied my desk. Also updated the stuff on the walls. We had our annual end of the year BBQ on Tuesday and my coworkers gave me a nice card with all sorts of good wishes inside.

Only Me

I can have drama when I don't want drama. Dang.   When we got home from work today, hubby said he was going to weed eat, so I decided I would surprise him and water everything, and wash off the deck steps. As I was washing the steps, my dog, 'Gypsy', started barking like hell. I looked up to see two people getting out of a car. One of them had a small leather case, and the lady was just all smiles. Still holding the water hose, I walked toward them. They explained that they were Jehovah

arctic soil

I ask you, gentle reader, would you scorn   the violet's death in arctic soil?   slave's last exhalation in endless toil?   Could you chide or reprimand   the Indian's rest after futile fight?   the moth's candle respite from his quest for light?   Would you then begrudge me my final rest?   Would I find a cold, unyielding breast?   And if you would that rest but kindly allow,   my final breath a kiss of thanks upon your brow.

Checking In

Hey All--   I've been receiving a lot of mail asking about the next chapter of 'Three Hearts' or Book 3 of 'Riding Lessons', so I thought I would take a moment to offer my apologies and explanation for their tardiness.   I, like so many people, have suffered from Severe Depression Disorder for most of my life. In early May, I hit rock bottom (before anyone jumps to any conclusions...I DID NOT try to hurt myself). I have a wonderful and supportive family and I have an agreement with them that

two brothers share the night

We settle back on leather thrones, glass and ice our sceptres.   Candelabra lit, the hounds at rest, two brothers share the night.   Tell me, lord, of mountains far, and I shall speak of valleys.   Whisper soft of tears aloft, and I will gale with laughter.   Boast upon your finest hour, while I but moan defeat.   Your nights of black and smiles lack, I will comfort be.   And when laughter wanes and tongues grow weary,   morning's light shall end our night.   We rise but slo

Intro...

I admit it. I'm a newbie when it comes to blogging. Most days I don't get involved in too much conversation in person; much less online. I didn't even know what a blog was 3 years ago (yes, go ahead a chuckle). I'm old; and most of this is new to me.   But now, after a few years and after being published and meeting so many wonderful fellow authors and friends who've taken my hand and helped me step into the larger worlds. (special kudos to MS and SL)!!!!   I joined GA about 6 weeks ago and

Kids say the darndest things

Now there is an understatement if I ever heard one.   Brett and I were at a gathering of friends today. Nothing special, just a get together and an excuse to drink alcohol. Most of our friends brought their kids along, and two of them - Michael and Bobby, who is Brett's nephew - who are both ten years old in a few weeks time got talking.   I've no idea how they got onto the subject, but Brett and I overheard Michael asking Bobby "So just how do two guys do it?" Brett and I have never hidden

Belgrade Bound

So today I am packing for a week in Belgrade - a trip that quite frankly I do not wish to go on. Firstly there is the heat, which is 34 centigrade at the moment - about 10 degrees more than I am comfortably with. But secondly, the trip is going to be downright unpleasant. Don't get me wrong - I like my colleagues - its just that they are not my first choice to spend any time with...   Anyhow..... see you in a week's time   West

Volunteer Work- Day 3 and 4

On Day 3, I continued going through my box of Memorial Day photos. I found a couple of pictures of Governor Tom Carper (D, 1993-2001), which made it far easier to nail down a date for that set.   For Day 4 (this past Friday), the volunteer manager had myself and another volunteer go through cataloging basics. Even though I've already done cataloging, I appreciated the refresher. Plus, as I've learned, every museum does things different- a true universial standard for cataloging doesn't rea
