  3. I'm a bit swamped with work atm, but I will read them all, almost.

    Story

    Then let's add five more candles. Thank you for your comment, Gary! (Did you notice the comma?)
  6. One Hundred Forty-Five Candles “Greetings listeners! Welcome to the 20th episode of my podcast Stirring the Pot. Today I have a real treat for you! Those who have been following me for a while, know around this time of the year I always drive around the countryside and visit all those tiny fairs on my continuous hunt for secret and not-so-secret family recipes. “Last week, I was on my way to a small village for the annual Yam & Ham Challenge, and I saw many arrow-shaped signs along
  7. What's better than one reason to celebrate? Two reasons. Victor and Peter will explain in an interview for the cooking blog Stirring the Pot why they decorated their cake with one hundred forty-five candles.
  8. Five poems concerning various anniversaries.
  9. Happy Anniversary GA!!! Thank you for creating and providing such an amazing place to past, present and future staff.

    Chapter 1

    To be honest, I'm glad these times are behind me, mostly. You described the angst and jitters a little too good, although they were kinda lucky and it looks as if there is a chance for more if they manage to stay in contact.
  11. I didn't read every story yet as I'm busy preparing for another September anniversary.
  12. Their conversation has been a mere thought experiment, yet, but very alarming.

    Promises to Keep

    Your story held up the proverbial mirror to humanity. It had to be sad, we had to feel the loss to have an impact, well done.

    The Perfect Car

    A well-cared car as a symbol for a well-lived life. I'm happy for them. I enjoyed your story, Mancunian, with a happy tear in the corner of my eye.

    Alas, we must own those twenty years of secret pain But I swear to you without rancor I will love you for twenty more Perfect.

    Chapter 1

    First, I chose 'Love' because the lyrical self persevered. With every stanza shackles have been shed, freedom came closer for body, mind and soul. You found perfect words to describe a rough road. I myself feel a little raw and shaken after reading this. Thank you for sharing, Gary. ~Adi
  17. I'm going to read them all tomorrow, sorry I'm super busy.

    Run, Run, Run...

    Do I smell mulled wine? Nope I will ignore this, it's still summer. Good one.
  19. I think I'll send her the new chapter next weekend.

    Building a Team

    It's those thingies you always make me put between words, right?

    What's a comma?

    Building a Team

    I had always stories in my head, when I began writing them down I never had an editor or beta reader even though it might have been better if another person had read them. Now I write mostly in my second language and having a team is mandatory. I would doubt every sentence and never publish a story because I hate making mistakes and annoy readers with my stuff. In the past I read every comment at least five, maybe ten times, being afraid I made a mistake. Now I scaled it down to two times, at most. I'm writing with an accent, deal with it, but my stories have to be the best I can do and I'm forever thankful for my team @Valkyrie and @Cole Matthews. You rock guys, without you I would read stories and write very short comments.
  23. If you want to laugh too: swarmerei in German https://forvo.com/word/schwärmerei/
  24. Okay, found it.
  25. Or Schwarmerei (Schwärmerei) is a less intensive form of being in love, at least around here. Your interpretation of swarmerei is really crass. And now I have to google how you guys pronounce it.
