I'm glad. I started this story with no plan at all and stuff just happened, lol! Glad it turned out well. Thanks for commenting.

Jason's good people. It's hard to break yourself free from a religious sect like the one their parents were part of. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Thank you, Chris!

That's one talented kid!

‘To Stephen!’ Rebecca raised her glass, as did the other teachers. School was out for Christmas, and she had splurged on a few bottles of Prosecco for a quick farewell drink for the staff. It wasn’t something she would normally do, but today was Stephen’s last day. ‘May you prosper in your new job.’ ‘Hear, hear!’ said Morton, who taught Maths. ‘Live long and prosper!’ Laughter rose from the assembled staff. They all raised their glasses and drank. Stephen smiled around at them. ‘Thank yo

It's nearly Christmas, and Lewis decides to pay a visit to his estranged parents to invite them to his and Stephen's upcoming wedding. Lewis has always been the strong one. Now it's Stephen's turn. Yet another side-piece to Storms.

The tarantula hawk is very unaggressive towards humans. You kind of have to want it to sting you, or step on it or something, at least according to this dude who got stung on purpose cause apparently that's his idea of fun. It's mostly only aggressive if you're a big-ass spider.

I'm glad to hear it. Happy Holidays, Mac.

This a good thing or a bad thing? A friend of mine on Facebook wrote today that she'd been wanting to have Christmas all alone for years and was finally doing it, and found it very nice and relaxing. Sometimes, solitude is exactly what a person needs. Sometimes not. Whatever the case may be, it's good to see you, Mac.

Oooh... I may try to make this for New Year's... Unless one of our guests wants to bring a cake, since we're making the turkey (it's become common to eat turkey on New Year's Eve here, since it's not traditional for Christmas).

Paul and I will be spending Christmas with my parents. I'll be going over there tomorrow to help decorate the tree. Christmas Eve we'll be having various kinds of lovely fish (pickled herring, cured and smoked salmon, lots of stuff), and Christmas Day we'll be having pork rib, which is traditional in Norway, but we'll be switching up the sides to add some Finnish stuff this year, because I wanted to show Paul all my favourite Christmas foods. And he's making mince pies. So all round fun Christmas, food-wise. Thank you for the well wishes. ❤️

Weekly Wrap Up (Dec. 15 - Dec. 21)
Thorn Wilde commented on wildone's blog entry in Gay Authors News
We had snow earlier in December, but it melted and then turned into ice. Tomorrow and Christmas Eve we're getting rain and sleet, and on Christmas Day we're getting freezing temperatures again and no precipitation, that will last until New Year's at least, so we'll have a lovely, icy, dangerous Christmas time here. Nothing like a little excitement when you leave the house. -
Well, that cake sounds delicious, in any case! I love chocolate and orange together... ❤️

Yes! That's another version of the same one. How fun! When my mum was a kid, they were visited by the Yule Goat. Didn't look anything like the Santa-like figure presented in that photo, though. Looked more like this: He used to be a thing in Swedish tradition as well. The name has just remained in Finland and is now used for Santa Claus. In Norway, we always had the 'nisse', which was part of the inspiration for the modern Santa Claus. EDIT: We're way off topic now, we'd better stop.

Happy Sunday, everybody! I hope you're all well. My cold has mutated into a chesty cough, but at least I'm done with the most strenuous Christmas chores. Only need to get a few things tomorrow, and then only celebration remains. Yay! What plans have you all got for the holidays?

I like that story! And I like the idea of spider ornaments. I want some of those.

That's a fascinating piece of family history right there.

Queerbating: is it okay for mainstream fiction to lead on LGBTQ+ audience?
Thorn Wilde replied to W_L's topic in The Lounge
Me neither. I am going to boycott her for supporting transphobes, though. Just since we're on the topic of boycott. -

@Reader1810, this just showed up in my Facebook feed and it reminded me of the brief Christmas movie chat we had the other day. I hope everyone is as well as they possibly can be. I’ve come down with a cold, so I’m crawling into bed now, in hopes that I’ll feel better in the morning.

We all screw up. It's part of being human. The best we can do is try to learn from it. ❤️

Storytelling is, I think, the most fundamental form of human communication. Yuval Noah Harari would appear to agree. If you haven't read his book Sapiens, I think you should. It's really interesting and fascinating. He posits that the point where human communication began to differ from that of other species was when we began to talk to each other about things that weren't there. Telling stories. But I digress. Thank you so much for reading and commenting on my story, Gary. I appreciate it greatly, and I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

Well, I hope you didn't go into reading this story thinking it would be safe for work. Thanks a lot for commenting. You know me. One way or another, the shit always hits the fan...

I love bacon with sweet things. I've made bacon banana splits before. I used just vanilla ice cream, strawberry sauce, a banana split in half (as is custom), and fried the bacon super crispy, then crumbled it up and added it kind of as sprinkles. And whipped cream, obvs. It was upon recommendation from a friend. It was weirdly tasty. Never thought of bacon and chocolate... The next time I make that banana split I'll add chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce!
