FYI, I won't be responding much today or tomorrow.  Why? Want to reveal that secret? It's medical, so if that icks you out, don't open the box!

  Reveal hidden contents

My husband didn't reveal what he thought was upset tummy, then gall bladder issues... was really a "gangrenous appendix" that burst. Wrong quadrant, no fever... yep, real good at keeping secrets! Then it didn't help the surgeon was 2 hours late, and it appeared to burst literally right before they took him to surgery. Grrr! We were in the ER/hospital all day yesterday, and I'll be there all today before he hopefully comes home tomorrow (barring worsening infection/fever 🤞). Once again, I ask for grace as I work on these blogs & close the voting polls on the favorite use of the theme to reveal that winner. Life is the ultimate secret keeper, right?

My oh my, there are some naughty authors here: “I’m not good enough/ I’m too busy/ I would never enter this” etc.  I’m mad, v mad.  There will be consequences in my excel.  New column “pork pies = lies” And in reviews, what reviews? Only @Mark Arbour gets a pass as he came clean….. um 😐 

[Valkyrie]

Haha @northie told ya you participated  

[CassieQ]

That's...a lot of authors, wow.  A lot of talent here.

As usual, I messed up publication and @Cia had to help out….. It was v cathartic to write.  Xxx

Sadly, my entry to SA was messed up by two weeks of Covid and is still unfinished.

Bummer.  Same thing happened to me with last year's contest, although it wasn't Covid.  I was going to feature it in the antho, but that never happened either.  I'll finish and post it at some point.  And I'll definitely check out the prompt story

[CassieQ]

I'm still insisting I didn't participate.  

[Jeff Burton]

Oh snap. Looks like I did participate, I seriously thought I dreamt that.

You are correct. I’ve got a mountain of laundry and I’m moving house so time isn’t on my side.

I refuse to take anything as the truth until Cia releases the official list   

[chris191070]

I'll post my guesses later tonight or tomorrow morning.

[centexhairysub]

As much as I read this site, you would think I would be better at this, but I am rubbish...

[Lee Wilson]

Well, at least I'm on the top of one list.
