I'm mad! 😠 I'm irate! 😠 I'm absolutely livid! 😠 So someone told on me!! Told the US that I mistakenly took US Thanksgiving last week instead of the upcoming one. Now my green card lottery entry has been cancelled over it 😮 !!! I can think of one 'tuckian that would have reported me. No not you @astone2292 Okay, just kidding. All above is fictional and untrue. The fact remains that I honestly thought it was this past week that Americans took most of the week off for a Thursday holiday for the second Thanksgiving of the year So once again, may I wish you all the happiest of Thanksgiving and may the Turkey population spring back in time for Christmas. 🦃 Now I hate to stereotype , yet, I'm curious does the 3 big family holidays for your choice of meat change. Now I know there is lots of different religions, beliefs, meals and such which can constitute a family holiday, but I'm talking specifically about Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Up here in Canadia, my family and most of my friends families all ate turkey for all three. Some might interchange a ham in for one or two, usually Christmas or Easter. Thanksgiving usually was always turkey. So here is the question of the week, what is your traditional meat for each of these holidays. Keep it clean you guys!!! Or do you rotate? **sigh** With that all settled, shall we see what happened at the GA News Blog? Monday, Cia dropped by to bring us a new Signature Feature: Tuesday, Myr went looking deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep into Literary Fiction: We did have a blog on a Wednesday this week, we needed to have the Signature Author Excerpt: Jump to Friday, and Cole asked a question that I think many of us ask, sometimes daily? Now you can put it down in words: I know someone who gets up early every morning and takes the same road to give us all the Word of the Day.

Your legs are so long, you could just throw a leg over the side of a full grown horse and have the stirrups a couple of inches off the ground Don't you usually guide a horse with pressure of you knees on their flanks and a little rein control? What did you do when your knees are like at the top of the legs but below their body?

Krista just gave me an interesting description of her mood

😮 Ever wake up in the morning and see something and know you have to do something about it? No, I'm not referring to that, guys . I did that this morning. I opened the fridge and I have to admit it was pretty bare. The thing is when you see your bare fridge, you probably going to notice it needs a really good cleaning! So there I am at 8 this morning with everything fitting onto one shelf, and pulling out the other 3 shelves, the two crispers and meat tray, and all the door pockets. Gave everything a good scrubbing and sanitizing, then put everything back together with only one extra piece at the end Luckily it was easy to figure out. Next, to the grocery store and shop for stuffs to put in the fridge! $400 later 😮 😮 Well, that will last me over a month, so it isn't that bad, but it makes me really aware of what the high grocery prices must do to others. I do have to admit, that $30 went to buying 3-$10 food bank hampers as I'm aware that not everyone has the money for food Speaking of food! I guess my American cousins are getting ready fo the second Thanksgiving this year . We had ours up in Canadia about a month ago. So any big plans for the holiday? Do you have family coming over? So a survey just revealed, and really, if you needed a survey, then I'm speechless, they say that the two topics to avoid at all costs at a big dinner is politics and religion. Hence why why we only allow those two topics in the Pit So if anyone decides to broach either subject, just politely tell them they have to go to the Pit for 20 mins. Anyhow, I hope anyone celebrating the Thanksgiving loooooooooooooooooong weekend, you have a great time, great food, great friends and great family. If you work and cannot attend anything, do like I did all those years working my way up the ladder, and hit up the local deli and get some fresh sliced turkey breast, maybe some thick sliced bacon, a fresh bun, slap some mayo on it, and make yourself a nice turkey club for dinner . Now I'm not sure if you have heard the buzz on the site of late!!! There is a return of a popular contest that we are having again this year. Val and Aditus have come back with the Prompt Team Event. Make sure to check out Friday's blog for all the deets! Lets jump into Monday, where we had an all new review from our super duper Review Team: Tuesday, Myr was looking at History: Thursday was Val's first blog of the week where she looked at upcoming Special Events in 2026. Some interesting comments ensued: Finally it was Friday. Val told us all about the upcoming Prompt Team Event! Check it out first and then write to get your prompt topic. Let's have some fun with this: We did get to challenge our vocabulary, some more than others. I sometimes think this must be really helpful to our authors that maybe English isn't their mother tongue. I'm sure this helps them out to see if they can incorporate some new words into their writing. acrid, lambaste, ashen, disparity, poacher, incentive, gossamer (10 bonus points if you knew the last one ) Upcoming Writing Events 2025 Prompt Team Event - Find all the information right here.

Sounds like my friends have been busy!!! Too bad Brad can’t get pregnant. We’ve tried https://www.okotoksonline.com/articles/river-otters-spotted-in-okotoks-amid-southern-alberta-resurgence-

Jealous?

I'm now feeling Masculine. I think I will go to the gym...

Decided to take this Monday off. Forgot to turn the alarms off last night Wide awake at 6 AM with nothing really to do

Happy 2nd Tuesday of the Month. I like when this happens; when the Review Team Members turn on themselves Well, maybe not turn. Moreso write a review on each others. Enjoy!! True As It Can Be by W_L Reviewer:chris191070 Status: Complete Word Count: 80,310 This is a modern interpretation of the classic fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast. We have Brad, who because of events has become isolated, self-destructive and beastly. But he begins to change when he rescues Beau, a small kindhearted student with no family or friends. Those are the main characters, but the other residents of Keller Hall are just as important, as you'll discover they have all suffered misfortune in their lives. The main enemy is an individual called Gary; he is an individual that you don't want to mess with. This isn't an easy story to read in parts, but it is so well written that you really get drawn into the lives of all the characters. It is a dark story that features some difficult storylines, but the author leaves it to the individual reader, rather than going into graphic detail.

I had to reread that, I thought in addition to the smell of weed, you hated the overall smell of San Francisco as well Up here, in legal weed land, I hate when I get on the elevator and someone who's clothes and body stink like weed were just on it. Take a shower and wash your clothes, especially your jacket, people!! I cannot imagine Cassie having to work with someone freshly smoked up. Well, any health professional

Now really, how can anyone say anything negative about otters Check out my cousin's story https://youtu.be/GQILrdrMCpc?si=lYtrd5PbxAkgxjoC

Is it cold in your neck of the woods 🥶 I heard it was getting below zero (32F) in southern parts of the US of A 😮 In November! I imagine I'm going to hear from our Florida contingent that it is getting down to 70F in the evenings So an interesting week has come to a close. Scratch that, it wasn't an interesting week. It was kind of the 2nd week of November blah week. Now if it was your birthday, then I missed the bright, shiney happiness of the week! You should have included me to lift me up. Oh, maybe it is the just the time/week of the year 😮 Question of the week: Have you participated in using the new Mood function yet? I"ve only had 2 so far Constipated 💩 and Cheeky I think I like Cheeky better Oh, before I forget, I know a lot of countries around the world have a celebration on Tuesday the 11th. Remembrance Day in Canada, Veteran's Day in the US, also known as Armistice Day in the UK. So I implore all of you to think of those currently serving, or have served in the past, living or gone forever, and give a moments of reflection at 11th hour on the 11th day. Maybe there is a second question of the week. My grandfather served in WWII, by great uncle was a Sgt. Major in WWII and toured the concentration camps in Europe My dad was in the military, army like his dad and uncle, never saw active warfare but served in the UN peaceforce back in Cypress, and the Sinai Peninsula (Egypt/Israel), then a few tours, at the time West Germany, where I was born , as part of the NATO Force. I'm not looking for political statements here, but just a deep recognition of people who have put their lives on the line for all of us. No matter what side. So tell us about a person you know that served their country with honour . Now onto the Wrap Up Cia started the week off with the CSR Feature of Month. November : Then Myr was up with a Deep Dive looking at General Fiction: Thursday, was a big day! Val wrapped up the ever so successful yearly anthology. 23 stories, ,way to go Authors!!!

I forgot about that, how could I be duped?

@Valkyrie is tired, but I would be too after getting this cctv footage of her trying to get from the river to her house last year 😮

It is snowing big, white, wet snowflakes

Krista is trying to give me viruses and malware 😮 Tell her to stop please @Dodger come defend me against her!

I'm Cheeky

Well, just go on the premise that there is no snarkiness allowed here at GA Is there a checkiness? I can't live without cheekiness 😢

How many notifications would you say you get in a day? Assuming you haven't disabled them

Someone had mentioned that they missed the status updates! Although Invision is not probably going to bring it back, why can't we create our own Status Updates? We might have to close this down and start a new one every so often, but why not post a status update, anyone following you will get a notification that you posted here and can come and quote and reply Same as Status Updates, but not on your wall. Now with the new Moods posting, why not tell us why you are changing your mood. For example, I see @Myr changed his to 'tired'. I think it is because he is up at 2 AM every morning posting the Word of the Day and then goes to work for 10-12 hours and then comes home and tends to GA if it hasn't interrupted him at work. Maybe he should change it to Crazy This won't be for one person to have to themselves but if you have one already, you can do both if you want So in this topic, my status update would say... I'm exhausted with it only being Tuesday, but working towards a 4 day weekend! Yay me

What? I've been constipated since Saturday 💩 Too much beer and pub food. Not good for the digestion

YAWN You know what? I could use another hour of sleep tonight Yes, in North America it is that time of the year where if you have such a thing as Daylight Savings Time, it is coming to an end in a few hours. I do find it funny that since tonight we are getting an extra hour of sleep, so to speak, there is less bitching than if we were losing an hour Oh sorry, putting forth a compelling argument without any emotion involved. Is that better? Yesterday was Halloween 😮 Did you dress up, and if so, what as? No, it did not get sheet faced, much to the disappointment of some people here. I think I ask this yearly, so I will ask again, how many trick-or-treaters did you get? I"m keeping a yearly total to see if the numbers are going up or down One friend mentioned he picked up a couple of the 50 box of mini chocolate bars and he went through them all. His roommate came home with like a box of 30 full size chocolate bars. He said they mainly get teenagers so he got the bigger bars. End of night, no big bars got handed out to big kids, so they are in his bedroom for snacking For some reason I can't stop yawning 🥱. Not that you all are boring me . Okay, so a nice quiet week for me to wrap up, but still a big week in what was done on the GA News Blog. Tuesday, Myr went a diving. I wonder if he ever swims above Niagara Falls . Now what was I talking about a big week? Well this is the final week of our very well participated in Yearly Anthology: Creature Feature.

I'll just comment that a few chapters ago everyone was guessing where the two police cars were going that blew past Trace and Joel in the Truck. So it wasn't donuts or going to arrest Wesley, but now we find out that Jonny Lundst was arrested for dealing pills 😮 Trust me, I missed that one when it came up in this chapter. Even when I asked her what the significance of the police cars were when first written and were they just in there for word count I'm surprised I survived making that accusation . Sneaky Krista

Whoa! Stop the clock!! Who said we could be a week left in October already 😮 I mean, less than a week to Halloween 🎃, 4 weeks from 'merican Thanksgiving, 2 months away from Christmas🎄. When did summer end? Oh wait, we've had our first snowfall already but where I live that can happen 12 months a year Speaking of Halloween... next Friday! Any plans for you? I live in a secured building, no it is not a prison 🔐 . We don't get kiddies trick-or-treating, so not going to buy any candy this year. I usually give in to a weakness and buy something that I shouldn't have but end up taking way too much insulin to combat against . Not this year! How about going out? Some of you must have children or grandchildren. Do you go trick-or-treating with them? Or what is the age that kids stop trick-or-treating nowadays? Seemed back in my day, people didn't appreciated 13 or 14 y/o's ringing their doorbell and telling them you were dressed as surly teenagers Or do you go to a mall, or community centre? Curious minds want to know!! Today I was flipping through a streaming channel up here in Canada called Crave, and found the original 90210 series. I told someone that it reminded me of my teens. They called me out on that statement so I said I was 20 when it came on out in 1990 . Maybe I was 22 I see we are 3 weeks into the Yearly Anthology, and my spy deep in the GA Anthology network has told me that it was not the last week of stories! So how many weeks to go, 1, 2, 3, maybe 4? You guess. Speaking of stories, how are you making out on reading them? Also, I know some of you are die hard Anthology fans, and reading as much as possible, so bravo Do you park any writing you are doing, or reading stories that you are engrossed in to read them? Just curious . Now to check on what Cia did on Monday... Oh, this was a week where the Monday's GA Blog was on hold for the Yearly Anthology. So you got 2 days of my last Weekly Update . I hope Cia took the day to go to a spa and soak in a natural hot spring, get a massage, facial, manicure, pedi and more! Me thinks that did not happen Myr checked in on Tuesday for a look at a Deep Dive again this week: Then it was Val's turn to wrap things up and announce the week 3 Yearly Anthology Stories!

One week was in the books, and now, so is the second week! I'm talking about snow storms No, I'm talking about the Yearly Anthology. I know a few of you read all the stories after week 1, have you done so after week 2? I"m going to keep tonight short and sweet I have an overnight guest , and it isn't Brad . So quick question for GA Land, how many of the anthologies have you read so far? Jumping right into what happened the past week, we had some interesting blogs. Monday, we had a great review brought to us by @W_L. Lots of great comments on the story and the author: Tuesday, Myr got his hardy, har, har on, when he did this Deep Dive: Thursday, it was time for Round Deux of the Yearly Anthology: Creature Feature: Okay, it was a short week for the Weekly Blog .
