Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 15 - Sept. 21)

First thing first, I really need anyone who is thinking to enter our yearly Anthology, please see Val's Thursday blog and if you fingers haven't started typing, get them going! As you read this, I am indisposed. Read into that what you want . But I'm up by a lake in the mountains looking at the colours change for fall.  So next week in the northern hemisphere, we flip into fall, autumn, whatever you like to call it. Down under the equator, they are about to hit spring   What is y

There went a Saturday without really realizing it   Saturday AM I thought I would see if there was anything interesting on Prime. I haven't been on in a while. After the other week of me saying I haven't finished some of the streaming shows that I have watched past seasons of, I saw that Season 2 of the The Rings of Power was out and streaming. The thing is, it was so long ago that I can't remember the Season 1 happenings  Don't worry, @Krista is keep a collection of retirement home pamphle

I know there is a thread going on what you are listening to now, and probably watching too! I haven't been watching or streaming too much of late. Maybe it has to do with the summer. I have Apple, Disney+, Netflix, Prime and Crave which is kind of like HBO for Canada. I got into a couple of series over the past few years and I've tried to get back into them, and just can't. Sweet Tooth and Cobra Kai.   So I'm curious, what series have you watched over the  past few years and dropped them li

Interesting question for you all, I think. Boxer or briefs ? No, not that one, I've asked that before. Also I know I would have to add in the granny panties option for one particular Author here at the site . Nope. This might cause some fighting  Are you a dog person, a cat person, both, or neither? I"ve never had a pet and I don't think I really want to ever own one to be honest. But it seems like I am judged for that opinion . So if you must judge me, go ahead, I have broad shoulders.

Hmmm, what can all the gif's be about?  Quick straw poll, how do they say that? Gif as (g)if or (j)if? I've always been a (g)if person myself   So I survived camping, barely?  I sat down in a hammock and promptly fell over backwards and landed on my back on a tree root and knocked the wind out of myself. Still in quite a bit of pain (yes, I've seen a doctor and no broken ribs, just soft tissue damage in an awkward spot). Tore open the back of my calf on my one good leg and promptly got

What’s up Buttercup? 😜 So I’m saying that to portray that I’m in a happy mood. I have been creating the wrap up all week with the plan of handing off to Myr on Saturday night for him to add the story list and publish. So the entire blog was done, ready to go. I just was putting in the last secret author entry, went to hit save, a pop up came up and asked me if I was sure. As normal, I didn’t read what I was doing and deleted the whole thing 😮 Happy thoughts, Steve. Happy thoughts   So

I’ve got a secret, secret, secret 🤫  No, I’m not going to sing all of Mr Roboto by Styx. That song was in my mind though when writing this. Go to YouTube if you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about 😀 The secret is out though, partially. Rather than doing the blogs in chronological order, let’s jump to Thursday where Cia kicked off the 1-a-day Secret Author contest. Now all you have to do is read, react, comment and then guess who you think the author is. No problem.  Being Sunday n

Speaking of which, make sure you check out the Thursday blog! The deadline is fast approaching to get in your Secret Author entries. Get them to Cia as she seems to be the only one that can keep a secret around here . Probably for the best. So in case you are wondering when the stories will release, I think it wo

Welcome from the past   I've done it, I have traveled back to last Tuesday and did the Weekly Wrap Up!! Pretty neat, eh? Just so you know, I came back, but before I did I drank a lot of water. Tuesday and Wednesday were stupid hot in the city. I think you could fry an egg down at the Stampede grounds those days. At least we had some relief finally on Thursday with cooler temps and some storms. Now why did I travel back in time. I was listening to Cher belt out 'If I Turn Back Time' tod

So I just had the pleasusre of being sandwiched into an LRT (above ground subway but not in the air) with probably 400 of my closest friends in a single car heading home from Stampede. No one needed to worry about hanging on to handles or bars, as nobody could move enough to fall over with lurching of the train on starts and stops. Then, to everyones extreme pleasure, someone deciided tha

First off, to our millions of Canadian members, Happy Canada Long Weekend! Sounds like it is a scorcher no matter where you are. Here in my little burg, believe it or not we have been on extreme water restrictions, like fluhing the toilet once per day, 3 min showers, no outside watering at all, etc. since 23 days ago when we had a main feeder line from our water treatment plant, big enough to drive a truck through, broke  A city of 1.5 million and and 80% of the city and surrounding towns and ci

Well I'm a silly boy   I was enjoying a nice cool evening to fall asleep to , and was sawing a log or two, when I woke up in shock! Shock I say   You ever wake up and realize you were supposed to do something and you forgot to? Usually for me it is a work thing and then I think to myself that there isn't much I can do about it until the morning and roll over and fall asleep again .  Just note that happened tonight and to show my dedication to everyone and GA, I got up, jump in my

Have you ever gone out to dinner and thought you were hungry and then only had the waiter/waitress bring out your entree and then realized you were not that hungry?   That happened tonight when a few of use went to East Side Mario's. I knew I wasn't going to eat both pieces of the chicken parmigiana and spaghetti, Italian wedding soup and the bread. But I was full after a piece of bread, half bowl of soup and not even 1 of the 2 pieces of chicken. Never mind how little of the spaghetti I actuall

I now know why I was so giddy last week. The fact is I think that @Valkyrie is the reason why   See, she found this silly little web page all about otters, Called In Otter News. It is all about an otter named Steve and his friends  Some are actual pictures, other are cartons of him.   So every day the last couple of weeks, I check throughout the day and get my chuckles. So thanks for that Val  If it wasn't you, then I will retract my thank you and send to the correct person

Greetings and salutations from the GA Weekly Wrap Up   For some reason I am feeling giddy today, or maybe even ducky 🦆 ! Why, I have not a clue. My washing machined died on me this morning, and I don't think that should make be feel great. We had another thunderstorm today like the past few days, which I'm not a fan of (look at someone's anthology entries  ). And I went out to dinner tonight and my medium rare steak came out on the well done side. I'm not the guy to make a big deal and send

I can't decide where to start tonight  I had an idea, an overused idea, then when thinking of that idea, I had another idea. So I have 1 new and 1 old idea. Do you have any idea how happy I am   So new idea, I know a lot of stories get written here and a lot are incomplete and a lot more are complete. So here is my question, I will limit it to 3 stories. What stories would you call out to have a sequel or to continue on, ending from the final chapter? Let us know the Author, the story and t

Hey all. This week we continued to focus on the tragic news of @Comicality's passing.

When I heard we were out of Comsie's articles and also another blog when we heard he was having some health concerns, never did I know this would happen .
