Wow, if I mess this up, it is all my fault. The past couple of weeks, I seem to be seeing double whenever I'm looking at a screen for more than an hour . I need to book an appointment with my optometrist and see if my eye sight has changed. I've worn glasses/contacts all my life, and believe it or not, over the past 5-6 years, my eyes keep getting better 😮 I'm told it has to do with controlling my blood sugar the best I have in 53 years . Thank gosh for insulin pumps.

Enough of my sob story . As I type with only 1 eye open, I'm going to be brief. Well that could be our question of the week . What kind of guys, or gals, are you? Boxers, Briefs, Boxer Briefs, Jocks, heck for Krista she wears granny panties (don't tell her I said anything ). I guess I'm asking for your preferred day to day undies, or, are you commando?  Just remember, no pictures  Google doesn't like that and we don't want to p.o. Google AdSense. 

Just a quick disclaimer, that some might not know! GA does have a lot of costs to keep us up and running. With Myr being a prudent kind of guy with the site, and investing to keep us modern and up to date, we do have expenses like server costs, licensing, and we have a programmer that keeps the site and especially stories running smooth. We do have a great staff of volunteers from so many aspects of the site, we all work free to ensure it all works!!

Unlike other internet sites, GA is probably about 98% free to everyone every day of the week!! We do have our Premium members that help out immensely  I'm one myself  Just in order to keep the site free, we do need other revenue streams. That is where we signed up with Google AdSense. When you have a ad pop up now and then, yes it is probably a PITA (pain in the ass), but you are keeping GA free by tolerating them.  Unfortunately Google AdSense has some pretty strict guidelines to be a sponsor on our site. So if you get a note about a picture that isn't allowed, or a story having a rating changed, it is because we all are looking out for the site.  We really do appreciate that Google gives us warnings if they bots notice something, but too many warnings mean bye bye 😢 

Oh, before I forget, I want to welcome back a few authors that GA has missed for quite awhile. I hope you get the chance to check them out! Both @LittleBuddhaTW as well as @Topher Lydon have an extensive collection on site and are posting new again!! Welcome back guys  

Okay,so much for a short preamble, I got to get moving. I'm tying with one eye and getting a headache . Here is what happened at GA this week:

Tuesday, Myr lived up to a Deep Dive and went looking at this genre:

Wednesday, the sites newest meerkat with glasses, a goatee and an interesting haircut , came back for the big reveal on AGW? Did you guess right?

We had a little smaller week at GA this week, but I hope you all checked out Aditus's new prompts for all of you:

Myr was busy at it with the Words of the Day. I usually read all the comments and through a like to those that take the time to comment. Sorry, less reading is better tonight :

distinction, vexing, dappled, impaired, superlative, erroneous, amiss
