Oops!!! Honestly I’ve always done mine by March 31. My apologies for any heart attacks caused

Taxes, taxes, taxes, oh my I do believe my friends to the south have to have their taxes in by April 15th this year, and we up here in the Great White North have to have them in by April 30March 31. Thanks @Mikiesboyfor correcting this. No relief with Covid. I wonder what it would be like to have no taxes whatsoever like some countries in the world. No federal, no provincial/state, no sales tax, etc. I do have to admit that when I do mine and my dad's taxes every year it isn't that big of a deal. Mine are done, but Dad is now eligible for a bunch of credits and deductions that his dementia is so bad . So he is in a refund position without that, so I need to apply for all of that before I submit. Which is okay if you are getting a refund, no cut off. For some reason the government isn't too anxious to get your tax return if they owe you money So do taxes stress you out? Do you have an accountant or do you go to a tax service? Do you do your own? For our members not in the US and Canada, what is your day of reckoning with your taxman? Well I guess I should bill the US and Canadian Governments for this PSA So now what actually happened at the blog this week? Did we have any big surprises ? I hope you read each one dedicatedly each day Monday, Renee dropped in for Renee week, and was kind enough to bring us a fabulous review from @Parker Owens of our even more fabulous Review Team: Wednesday, was the big reveal day for the Author Guess Who, brought to you by Renee : Oh look, Renee was in on Thursday too with our Weekly Anthology Entry Revisited: But you think that would be enough for her, but noooooo, she finished off the week with some big news about the upcoming Anthology and ones going forward. Make sure you read this very important notice!! Finally we here at the GA New Bog convinced Renee to take a much deserved day off. Stepping in with another great Writing Tip was our Writing Tip Master, Comicality: And let's not forget about our trooper day in and day out, Myr. He gave us a word each and every day to challenge our vocabulary skills. Honestly now, how many do you already know each week? Ailurophile, Friable, Promulgate, Oblivion, Visceral, Napery, Pasquinade Last thing that changes week to week to week is the story goals. How did we do last week?

Huh. And all along I thought it was when women take their bras off at night to sleep. Learn something new each day

First off, a PSA on behalf of the World Time Federation (WTF) If you live in any of the regions that observes Daylight Savings, it kicked in last night. So if you are late to everything today, don't say I didn't warn ya Well, I'm shocked, shocked I say. I looked out my window today and there was a tiny little white bunny rabbit frolicking around the courtyard. I honestly believe it was the Easter Bunny's scout checking out places for when the big guy (or gal) comes in a few weeks to leave me chocolate. Maybe I should adhere to mom's old adage to not eat what I think is mini chocolate Easter eggs outside where I had seen a bunny before What also shocked me was today's high of 17 C/62.6 F This is too warm for this time of year. I actually wore shorts and sandals when I went to do my grocery shopping earlier today. Enough of my musings you must be thinking . Let's see what happened this week with the Weekly Wrap Up! Monday, Renee strapped on her hockey skates and dropped the puck for another great review from our Review Team. This one specifically from @chris191070: Then on Tuesday, Renee switched things up and put on her cleats and pads and threw a Hail Mary in the hopes of someone scoring a touchdown with guessing who the mystery person is in the Author Guess Who? Then yet again, Renee ran back into the locker room and came out in her best Man United uniform to take to the pitch to bring us our weekly Anthology Entry Revisited. Oh don't forget, there is only 18 days to get your Spring Anthology entry in. Friday, the lights went down and a spotlight came on and comicfan came down the walkway to the ring in the main event for WWE in his best bling. Once dominating in the ring he shared with us all 2 new prompts to get our collective juices flowing Finally on Saturday, Comicality put on his cleats, uniform, slipped in his cup, and went out to the mound to throw out the opening pitch which was an extremely, excellent, extremely, super, writing tip Our good friend Myr was in every day of the week with his broom and rocks and sliding them down the sheet and nailing everyday right on the button with the Word of the Day: Cook's Tour, Capitulate, Grinch, Lycanthropy, Fardel, Austere, Yips Finally is to check the leader board for our story goals.

Shhhh, don't give him any ideas

I thought it said Ginch Wanted to see what gif's you put up for that

I sort of got to know Wayne over my years as being a rink rat while working for the Flames. He would sit on the bench before the doors open and tape his sticks. A couple of us had to walk the game nets (if you were to put the room temperature metal nets right on the ice, they would melt in ). We would chat about different things going on in league and about him, but he always enquired about us too. If I saw him on the street and said hi, he probably wouldn't remember me though My one coworker was definitely more around when he was. Hard to believe I grew up despising him as a kid, since he played for Calgary's arch rivals, the Edmonton Oilers. But the thing that amazed me, like his dad, he was so humble. Regarding his dad it amazed me how much a blue collar worker he was and still made time for all his kids and coach and develop them into the athletes that they were. His demeanor and calming presence I imagine made him a great coach and mentor. I had never heard about back yard rinks, I'm sure there would be some, before hearing about the Gretzky's. After that every kid wanted a backyard rink. I think Walter was with Wayne every step of the way his entire career and beyond. Wayne signed a personal services contract when he was 17. Actually with the original owner of the Flames who then sold him and the contract to the Oilers, before the Oilers moved from the WHA to the NHL. Who knew, he could have been a Flame . I did see Walter around a bit, but never had the opportunity to speak to him personally . I have to admit, I don't really follow all the US sports, but I wonder if there is a real life and recognized unilaterally as being a player to own the title 'Greatest' and how important their parents played in helping them become the greatest The only one I've heard about is LaVar Ball , but I don't think he can be classified as humble Aren't his kids the Greatest in Basketball ? Well at least to him. On the second part W_L. Oh my!!! How dare you mention Toronto in a list of teams 😮 Here is my list of Canadian Teams: 1. Calgary Flames 2. Winnipeg Jets 3. Montreal Canadiens 4. Ottawa Senators 5. Edmonton Oilers 6. Vancouver Canucks 7. Toronto Maple Leafs Now before I have the Toronto contingent come out for me with both fists flying, let me explain. Toronto is the largest city in Canada by a lot. So, since we are still relatively small country, 1 person to every 10 in the US, everything seems to be centralized to Toronto. Hence their nickname, Centre of the Universe. Well we have two major sports networks, all the cable networks and the national broadcasting networks all are based in Toronto.. With the exception of a few Saturday nights all year, ever single early hockey game will be of Toronto playing in Toronto for the CBC/Sportsnet time slot. CBC has been hosting national broadcasts since black and white (Hockey Night in Canada) and has always been pro Toronto in everything. Alex Ovechkin could score 5 goals and they will talk about how great Mitch Marner and Austin Mathews is. They are tone deaf to the rest of the country. Well, not fair, they totally have a love affair with Connor McDavid. I'd sure like to know who writes the schedule that Toronto is home nearly every weekend. Oh wait, the NHL Head Office is split between Toronto and New York, but most recognize Toronto is where things happen. There is a lot of Leaf fans outside of Toronto, but mainly older people that are from before the expansions. Then a lot have moved from Toronto to other cities, so they have a big following wherever they go.

Hmmm, I’ll first like to thank Dodger for sharing. Lots happened besides the very end with Stephanie. First, the whole nurse thing. I have accused Robbie of some real dumb headed moves in the past, but this does seem like a good idea and he has put at least some deep thought into it. I don’t think it is a ploy to win favour with Sue. I guess Robbie should be glad that no one at school knows Connor. I would say until Rory tells him to FO, somethings will still get back to Robbie. I really want to know how Jo found out about Nathan’s charges being dropped to simple possession. I guess we were all of the impression that Don had the Cobourg police around his finger. If he did, he would have Nathan up on capital crimes. Also since Don has kept Robbie informed on the lack of progress on his ‘accident’ , I wonder if there is something that Don isn’t telling that maybe Jo knows? Could Don have hired someone to push Robbie? Oh, what is this TV show/Movies you were talking about, Dodger? The only thing I’ll add about Stephanie, is I wonder if Nicola already knows.

We seem to be well on our way to April. Has spring sprung in your neck of the woods? Are the bees buzzing, the birds chirping, and the flowers growing up? Well I want everyone to take note that we are only about 5 weeks from April 1st. So to get everyone having some fun this year, as last year I think most of us were shell shocked, let's plan a really good April Fools Joke for this year. If you have a good idea share it with everyone so if anyone is drawing blank, they can maybe borrow the idea Unless you are married in the same house Let's skip right to the recap and see what all happened this week at the GA News Blog. Cia was here on Monday with the March CSR Story and Author. I have to admit, both the title and author's name should catch everyone's attention. Wednesday was a return to the ever popular feature among members, Ask An Author 3.0. Make sure you help @astone2292 by submitting some of your favourite stories and 3 thought provoking questions to the Author. Thursday, Renee was back and reminding every single one of you that the upcoming Anthology is just around the corner Now looking back at my initial preamble, lets not do any April Fools jokes of not submitting your Anthology by April 1 Also check out the past Anthology entry featured as well. That brought us to our prompt guru comicfan with another couple of great prompts to get yourself putting pen to paper Finally on Saturday, Comicality was by with some great advice for not only new, but some established authors *cough* @C James *cough* on how to use, or not to use every reader's favourite writing tool, cliffhangers Once again, I hope everyone got a chance to look at Myr's 7 Words of the Day Retrospective, Stratagem, Tenacious, Flagrant, Baleful, Venerable Tergiversation Last but not to be forgotten, our weekly check in on our story goals.

Hmmm, let me ask @Comicality, if an author were to finish off a chapter with a private jet which suffered a small explosion in the cockpit that killed both pilots, all communications and forced the autopilot off course, and yet there is still the passengers alive but the chapter finishes with the US Air Force fighter jets from Nellis engaging their missile lock on said plane and fingers on the trigger before it can reach Las Vegas, would that constitute a cliffhanger? Just asking for a friend, @C James

RIP Walter Gretzky. You and you wife gave birth, raised, educated and coached one of the Greatest Athletes in the world. it is hard to think of Wayne without you. Although I may have disliked Wayne as an Oiler 😛, what you did as a father always impressed me. To a point as teens, we all wondered what we would be if we had you as a dad. Im sure you and Phyllis will be so happy to be together again. 😢

So the last week of February already! Monday we are into March and I think some people are looking forward to an early spring! Me, an early spring is the last week of April . Well lets hope that maybe, just maybe, we can have a good spring and jump into a summer of hope I'm holding out for it. This week was yet another busy one. Do you realize we now have 6 days a week of GA blogs, on top of the daily Word of the Day . There is so much to take in I'm glad we have a team of staff and very dedicated volunteers that do it all week after week. So shout out to everyone that puts together the weekly blog features. We had Cia drop by on Monday and she had a good discussion with Sasha Distan for the CSR Discussion Day. Wednesday, there was the big surprise by Renee on the Author Guess Who? Thursday, Renee gave us new feature of a past anthology entry in the Anthology News. Remember, we are about 4 weeks away to get your spring Anthology in. On Friday, Wayne was by with another couple of Prompts to get you thinking, pondering and hopefully writing. To wrap up our blog week, Comicality was by with another Tip for all of us to enjoy. As mentioned above, Myr was here all week long with a Word of a the Day. Refractory, Sangfroid, Elixir, Knavish, Reiterate, Emulate, Ignoble And the thing that 10's of you look forward to every week here is where we were on our story goals this past week: Anthologies 2021 Anthology #1 Top Theme 1 - On The Road - Due by April 1st, 2021 2021 Anthology #1 Top Theme 2- Forbidden - Due by April 1st, 2021 2021 Anthology #1 Pot Luck Themes - Due by April 1st, 2021 Anthology 101 - In the Anthology Forum.

DAMN, is it hawt in here

I noticed I started getting ads every so often that shade the site grey and only have the same format. This is the first one I found with graphics: These started after the latest upload. I'm getting them in Chrome and Safari.

@astone2292, @Valkyrie, and @Wesley8890 are very knavish in LPW on any given day.

This is a scandal!!!! Who knew Aaron would go look back 10 years of posts! Preposterous !!! I still say it is @aditus

Don is coming out West? If it is in my neck of the woods, I’ll take care of him for Robbie

How was your Valentines Day? I'll be honest, I didn't even know it really happened The advertising and hoopla seemed to be almost non existent this year, well to me it was. I did hear one couple I know went out for dinner yet still had over a two hour wait! Oh well, for those dead set Valentiners if you missed it I'm sure it will be back next year bigger and better. I know that all over the world there is different and crippling weather all the time. I would be remiss if I do not mention that everyone up here in the Great White North that are accustomed to winter, our hearts are going out to the Southern US that got walloped by a snow storm not seen in a long, long, long time. Millions without power, which in turn has left the absence of heat and water to so many. Burst pipes, people dying of carbon monoxide poisoning from burning just about anything to try to keep warm . We know that you are not used to this, but our hearts, our minds and our wallets are open to you all . If I could give anyone out there one known rule from Canada, when it gets really cold out, open every tap to a tiny trickle. This should prevent freezing of incoming and outgoing pipes. Nothing worse to make it though the cold and start to see some warming, and have all your pipes burst. Shall we move onto some more happy news brought to you by the GA News Blog? First thing first though. As you all know that we switched to a new format and a new contributor to the Ask an Author Feature. We would ask that everyone that might have a favourite story, to craft 3 questions and send them to Aaron @astone2292. Then he can build up some months of upcoming features! Your help will make sure the popular feature continues on. Cia dropped in for a couple of days and on Monday brought us the February Classic Author Feature: Then she was back on Wednesday with the Classic Author Excerpt: On Thursday, Renee was in to remind us that we have a little over a month to get in our Spring Anthologies. As as bonus she looked back at a previous submitted entry: When Wayne the prompt guru arrived on Friday, he had a couple of new prompts for us all: Comicality dropped back in on Saturday for another great Article. If you are a established, novice or maybe thinking about being an author, check out these great articles. Did you add to your vocabulary this week? It still isn't too late! Check out these words that Myr brought to us all this week: Aureate, Gauntlet, Recidivism, Garner, Gratuitous, Rosetta Stone, Ameliorate Before we look at upcoming blog opportunities and Promoted Authors offerings, here is last week's goals: Anthologies 2021 Anthology #1 Top Theme 1 - On The Road - Due by April 1st, 2021 2021 Anthology #1 Top Theme 2- Forbidden - Due by April 1st, 2021 2021 Anthology #1 Pot Luck Themes - Due by April 1st, 2021 Anthology 101 - In the Anthology Forum.

Well it's forty below And I don't give a *bleep* Got a heater in my truck And I'm off to the rodeo Now if you don't know this song, you can Youtube it or Google it, but don't have the sound up if little ears might be around It seems I'm stuck in a perpetual groundhog day were everyday since Monday we have been in a extreme winter warning (sustained temperatures of -40) Luckily by Monday we will creep closer to 0 or 32 depending on your temperature scale you are using. The thing is, when it is that cold, I just want to stay under the covers and not come out. So to say the week has been unproductive, would be an understatement. Enough of my whines before you all decide to bottle them and sell it . Let's see what happened this week in the GA News Blog! Did you see on Monday that Renee introduced our newest member of our Super Dooper Review Team, @Talo Segura, and their first review! Then on Wednesday Renee was back on Wednesday with a brand new addition of Author Guess Who? Jump to Thursday, Renee was here again! She had another look back at an Anthology entry from the past, as well as looking ahead to the future: We decided to give Renee the rest of the week off and brought in Wayne to get up to bat with some new Prompts: Saturday had another interesting article from Comicality. Did you check it out? But let's not forget that Myr, who has reproved me many of a time had his daily Words of the Day: Reprove, Infotainment, Salad Days, Tactile, Tin Pot, Argy-bargy, and Etiolate. Let's not forget our goals from last week: Anthologies 2021 Anthology #1 Top Theme 1 - On The Road - Due by April 1st, 2021 2021 Anthology #1 Top Theme 2- Forbidden - Due by April 1st, 2021 2021 Anthology #1 Pot Luck Themes - Due by April 1st, 2021 Anthology 101 - In the Anthology Forum.

Is Coast to Coast with George Nory still on? Or am I thinking of his predecessor that hid in the high Nevada desert in a bunker I believe

I give up

I can, and ancestry.com can confirm, I have no German Heritage. Well I did like steins of beer when I was younger

That's a good one Especially after I read the fist answer And I can't even go look, I don't see a reveal yet by Renee

Well... What a day today has been. I couldn't avoid a lot of stuff anymore so I had to go out in the freezing weather and get a bunch of stuffs done. Left the house at 8:00 and didn't get home to 3:30 😮 This is the weekend, aren't we supposed to relax and sleep in and take it easy? So I'm curious, as after working 26 years in stores in retail, I know I didn't like when I heard people who talked about their Monday to Friday jobs. Where some of us in retail worked any day of the week. So let me know, are you a M-F kind of person, or are you a can work any of the seven days of the week? Hopefully no one is working all seven days in a week . Now once again, not to be insensitive as a lot of you have had your employment status changed in the past year, so maybe go with before the pandemic started nearly a year ago. Maybe also if it rattles your cage when people talk about Monday to Friday when you aren't one of them. [transition] We had another full week here at the GA Blog! Monday, Cia introduced us to one of our more active authors of late, for this months CSR Feature! Then on Tuesday we had had a bit of a surprise Renee introduced us to a new format of Ask An Author 3.0 in January but we now have a great new Author/Member who will be taking the reigns and after the first of his many to come, it is looking great into the future! Bright and early on Thursday morning, Renee came by with another great Anthology Entry Revised. Hmmm, am I starting to see a theme this week And no, there was no plan Then on Friday, our guru of the Writing Prompts was in! I do believe we had a taker on one of them already this week!! Saturday, it is a day we put aside for some great articles from Comicality. Did you check out todays? Now don't forget to check out the words of the day. I'm thinking I know of three people that might be taking them to heart (okay, maybe 4 including me). Foozle, Besmirch, Preprandial, Brummagem, Onus, Disavow, Pastiche Time to check on how we all did towards our Story Goals the previous week: Anthologies 2021 Anthology #1 Top Theme 1 - On The Road - Due by April 1st, 2021 2021 Anthology #1 Top Theme 2- Forbidden - Due by April 1st, 2021 2021 Anthology #1 Pot Luck Themes - Due by April 1st, 2021 Anthology 101 - In the Anthology Forum.
