Mebbe... idk What do you think? I think there is room for a few more... GB's. LOL, yes, silly and off the wall wasn't it? I was hoping at least someone would catch that and laugh. Thanks for fulfilling my hope. Well idk, lol. I think that is probably part of it. Write what you know and all. For everyone who liked this and let me know, both off and on this topic a very big THANKS! I wasn't exploring anything new or big, I didn't want angst or a complicated or passion filled plot. It was just a simple quiet story that came to me and fit the theme in a way that I thought might be a bit unique. Some of the comments and situational bits come from me and some come from my imagination. I will say this was a lot of fun to sit down and write. Thanks again everyone!

Hope you have a great day Viv! Women's birthdays should come with the option go ahead or back a year Which would it be?

snickers... remember to turn on the fan

Ouch. Sometimes people just need enough rope to hang themselves with, even if we are pulling it away from them as hard as we can. Hugs.

That was hard to read. Up to the actual breaks and the difference in our recoveries it was so similar to what I remember. That scream of metal being cut, the suffocating blanket as they break out windows and a stranger keeps you calm before they drag you out of a twisted metal lump. I was blessed that my leg shattered and didn't break the surface so I still can walk with 2 legs, albiet a bit gimpy and with one leg shorter than the other. I am so glad you had a support system. The kindness of strangers and casual acquaintances can never hit home more than when a disaster strikes you personally. Your strenth is phenomonal. Advice, if I can be so bold as to give it, don't be alone that first year anni of it. That was the most emotional one for me.

I will defend myself if attacked by anyone. I'm not big, I'm not small and I do know how to defend myself quite well. Honestly I'm of the view that if someone hits me they earned a response. If it's someone I can take down with a puch or a throw I will, if they are bigger or I feel I need to I'll play dirty. I don't pick fights, never did, but in my family I grew up knowing that I would finish them. I've fought guys and girls *shrugs* Though not for many many years. Now a scathing verbal response typically works

I vary. I like to add detail, as anyone who read my stuff will note, but I typically avoid doing it for people, reserving it for background scenery and animals/creatures. I don't like the stories that start out, well I guess I should describe him or me and then go on to give height, weight, hair and eye color almost as stats but it won't preclude me from reading the story, though it does turn me off it a bit and I might take points away if I was ranking it. I like to add detail as the story goes along if I can. If it's a short story then I admit, that's a lot harder. Besides, over-detailing prevents the reader from making their own mental pictures.

Pretty!! I have a 67 mustang in my rv parking in my backyard It's my sisters and has sat in the same place for almost 9 years. Pretty sure it's a lawn ornament by now.

Okay, I fixated on the oval that had the sucker. My only thought was hmm... lollipop Good laugh to start my day on.

Nice Niels, but you are way too cute to need to hide that face

Hugs!!!

The scene where the Queen pumped her venom into the Prince was almost erotic, yet highly creepy. You are very skilled at drawing out varied emotions in regards to your stories. And the ending left me wanting more sooo badly! Great job as always.

I like this sci-fi story so much!! Jerry is a very interesting character, developed both beyond his years and yet stunted in some ways. His physical and mental prowess is off-set by his inabillity to relate and interact with his fellow age-mates. Since they will be his colleagues in the future it is important that he learns now. David and Billy seem to both compliment his powers and his personality. His psi-power that is prompting him to create his "pack" certainly seems to be working in his favor. Seeing them in action in defense of the Mars Colony against the Lewerren shows just how effective his powers are in conjunction with theirs, making them a much stronger team. I hope to see the story continue; I would like to find out more how Jerry is feeling and maturing as he continues to live and work within the Fleet.

I loved the idea of love reaching beyond the barriers of the mind to share love. The way the memories came and shared their love and life and ended with Randy fading away from Adrian and begging him to come back to him was so sad. I was so relieved there was a happy ending!! Yay for love conquering death!

I loved the concept of food being both the ultimate pleasure and ultimate destruction for Cair. It is a very interesting spin on the concept of immortals and their powers and weaknesses. Great work Eros!

LOL, looks like most visitors answered the poll but don't want to comment I want to know who the every day person is, snickers

LOL. Btw, I applaud the cool way you handled the bullying thugs. I probably would have done something similar but then would most likely have had to mace and then knee them in the balls considering I'm a short woman. I used to ride the bus home from work to my bad neighborhood when I first moved to the city, it is surprising the amount of petty crime that happens on a nightly basis.

One word of cautionfor you mentally as the writer on here. If you 'flick through' Love in Chains have a look at the reader counts vs. the reviews and comments in the forum. You'll have many more readers than will be willing to admit, I find it's quite the taboo subject for many people. The thrust of Nephy's story was abuse and control not so much bdms but because there aspects of it in the story I think it wigged out some people. I know yaoi and d/s stories actually have quite a lot of readers, most just don't want to own up to it. If this is a story in your head then write it, get it out and be happy with your work. I'll have no problems reading and commenting.

I let a very un-ladylike snort.

That is a hugely popular technique that JR Ward uses on her website and forums as well Young Sage. I've found that her characters seem alive, not only in the books but in her readers interactions because of it. Sometimes she has multiple characters interacting in a thread, both with each other and with the readers which is simply hilarious. It's a great way to get people involved in your stories intimately and also makes you really flesh the characters out. You just can't forget the details if the information comes up in later chapters

I love Weeping Lily but know you have stuff going on. I'll be patient, I guess.... Hurry up

I think a big key to getting reviews/comments on a story is how prominent you are on GA. Not necessarily those in charge, but those who post stories, comments, topics... I had a ton of reviews for Honor and most of them were from people I 'knew' from chat and such. That doesn't necessarily seem fair but I think the act of leaving a review is more for the person than the story most of the time for readers. Just what I've noticed from e-fic myself. I will often leave reviews but it has to be a good story to get me to comment in the forum topic as well, otherwise sometimes it is just too much effort. I'm a lazy soul

The thing I keep on hand most of the summer? Not really a recipe but it's my kid's favorite. Frozen grapes. They stab them with toothpicks and dip them in vanilla non-fat yogurt that I add cinnamon to. I also make cinnamon tortilla chips and lemon curd, though that's not exactly healthy Tortilla chips: Brush tortillas with melted butter and cinnamon, slice into triangles and bake til crispy. 8 minutes at 350. Lemon Curd: 3 Lg Eggs 1/3 cup (80 ml) fresh lemon juice (2-3 lemons) (don't use the bottled juice) 1 tablespoon (4 grams) shredded lemon zest 3/4 cup (150 grams) white sugar 4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, room temp In a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk eggs, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring constantly until the mix becomes thick. Takes about 10 minutes. Cut the butter into small pieces and whisk into lemon mix until melted. Add zest and let thicken as it cools. Put plastic wrap on the top of the curd when you store it or it gets a skin on top. It can be refrigerated for a week. If you like a milder flavor you can fold in some whipped cream.

Congratulations on being a parent!! I would copy this blog and keep it to remind you when you are trying to keep your cool when he tries your patience. Mom of 2 kids so, well, yeah, I wish you luck and good health to your little one.

Woo hoo. Myr's back out of the writing closet Can't wait for more!!
