Mikiesboy Posted June 12, 2021 Author Posted June 12, 2021 Wow, watching the Euro's (soccer) with Michael today when suddenly Denmark's top midfielder collapsed. Like a stone. Players on both teams calling for help ... they worked on him for .. well it felt like forever. CPR and then electric shock to get him back. Horrible to watch. Just heard he's in hospital and stable for the moment. F'g freaked me out ... his poor wife was there.. god. 3

kbois Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 This is the week of bad things turning around into something good. After my continuing dissatisfaction with Walmart grocery delivery, I've been physically going to the grocery store and Amish market. I occasionally will order delivery from Aldi, which I did this morning from work. I set it up for delivery to my house after I got home. I got a text asking where to leave the groceries. After a couple of back and forths....figured out the driver was at my work. Initial WTF moment. He's 40 minutes away. I asked if I could just cancel the order. He then told me that he would bring the groceries to my house....15 miles away. Now that's proper customer service. Nice guy...and I did give him a really good tip. Hope everyone has a good evening! 5

I was looking for something from Jonas Kaufmann .. and ran across this. i looked at it and thought, that's Toronto ... and it is, right downtown on the lakeshore. This wonderful soprano, Teiya Kasahara, who is queer, made 19 of these for people during COVID: And this duet is my favourite thing by these two and the one from Bryn Terfel and Andrea Bocelli as well. This is the Pearl Fishers Duet, the part of the opera where these two friends share what nearly drove them apart and their pact to not let it happen again: how did i miss this?! i need to find my earbuds so i can listen 4

You need to be able to build a frame the reader can see and easily fill in. Good luck in the contest. If you want me to read it.. you can send it to me. I've written something, and think another author who shall remain wayneless may have too. rofl! every time 🤣🤣 2 1

Popular Post Ryan Jones Posted June 13, 2021 Popular Post Posted June 13, 2021 7 hours ago, mollyhousemouse said: there will be cake! chocolate with chocolate fudge icing with vanilla ice cream Is that a cooked icing? I am a chocoholic and growing up my mother used the fudge recipe off the Hershey's cocoa tin. It was tricky, you had to take it off the heat within 30 seconds of the soft ball stage. Too early and it didn't set on the cake, too late and it turned into hard fudge before you could ice the cake. I use my aunt's recipe now for icing. It's more forgiving although if not careful you can still end up the same as the Hershey's recipe. 6
Wayne Gray Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Okay. Maybe I am just being very dim ... but I'm wondering what the requirements are for submitting our Pride short stories. In one post, we're told we need to post date the stories. In the next, we're told to copy the link into the thread without mention of post-dating. Can someone with access to the Writer's Club look at the threads and tell me which is what Renee intended? I messaged her yesterday, but she hasn't replied. Thanks!

(Dazed maybe 🤭) To me it looks like a 2 step process. 1st post it to Stories - post dated. 2nd, copy and paste the link to the thread shown. But I'm not sure if post dating even creates a link? I've never done it before. 🤔 3

I think I'm going to go try and set it up, and we'll see how it goes. Wish me luck! 1 2
