So we might get some snow tonight, big whoop!! I think this is totally based on where the kids in your area go back to school. That would have a huge influence on when you think in the calendar that the story is happening, IMHO

IMHO, one of the greatest stories on GA too!

Sadly I think it is happening I think my desktop is coming to a end of its lifespan. Two days ago, it started doing a split screen of webpages on its own. No, this was not my double vision . Then I lost sound. Then finally it was on, but nothing on the monitor I turned it off for a day and tried to use my iPad in its place and that seemed to just piss me off 😜 I like to type with a full keyboard and screen(s) personally. This evening I gave it one more try. Turned it on, let it go through its 10 minute warm-up (and don't tell me too much porn, I have Krista for that ). Nothing came up on the screens and then no sound and i got mad and just hit the side of it. Viola!! My screens work, my sound is back, and I'm back in business. **Edit to add: Krista thinks this makes her sound like she is providing me porn . No, just she accuses me of having it on my computer all the time Now I'm faced with the decision of should I replace it now, before I have to bury the hard drive in the giant electronic dumpster in the sky, or should I take it to a repair shop to have them see if they can fix it up? My biggest issue until the other day, was just it so slow. Back in my early windows days, I learned how to run msconfig, check my startup menu, turn off applications on startup, but none of that works anymore. What is a guy to do ? I have the latest Norton, and Malwarebytes. If I buy something new, I think I will go with a laptop instead of a desktop. I don't think I need the 2 TB of memory I have on this machine. As my phone becomes more useful and also the never needing a CD Rom Drive (yes kids, look that up on Google if you don't know what it is ), I guess I need the RAM to satisfy my impatient existence. What do you all suggest? Laptop, Desktop, don't say Apple, I'm too old to learn all the workings of an Apple system. I'm good with my iPhone and iPad. That will be the question of the day. Shall we now check out what happened here on the GA News Blog? Monday, the Review Team in the form of Chris did a great new review.

Thanks , I don't want anyone say that they were not forewarned

I think everyday for me is a day like this I loved how you turned the date into even more with both of them putting too much pressure on what they wanted to happen, especially the fine details. When it came to the end, they found they didn't need the details to find out they had each others. The most important things

Even better..... weather forecaster maybe

I found that this chapter showed that maybe Joel was the winner in the whole situation on the bridge when you think about it. I mean, I still can't understand a woman to turn her back on her child like that. I think it was @PrivateTim mentioned, and I 100% agree, everyone has a different real life learned experiences. None of my friends were ever kicked out of their houses for anything, even an friend of a friend of a friend just out of hs, that was convicted of drunk driving causing death and his parents stood 100% behind him . So who is worse, the parents that kick you the son that is gay, or the parents that stand behind their son who took a person's life. Based on what I know of both situations at this point of time, neither are better than the other. I guess that you have to look at every situation and the whole story. Hopefully Krista doesn't go crazy trying to wait to post the next chapter and you all get to read the whole story

Thanks, @BendtedWreath To reply to your questions: 2054- I imagine I'll be slower by the time 2054 hits, but less rattled. If I'm alive and we're not all nuked to death, that is. Had to go realistically, especially as I was writing it on a day that we were pushing 100 degrees in my little spot on the globe. Not an everyday occurance! I think that is where reality ended They created a lab-bred species of capybara that would eat meat, specifically Norway rat meat, and move away from their vegetarian diet. - Whoever greenlit that lab needs to be tossed to the carnivore capybaras. I 100% agree, I started out with a genius in Kentucky and then my beta reader kept adding in more adjectives. Who knew Other pets of larger sizes like most cats, dogs and unfortunately penguins were unaffected by the toxin. - Wait, penguins??? What, you want it to kill penguins Shame Just the genius never thought of sterilizing the capybaras before releasing them. - That person needs to be tossed to the carnivore capibaras, too! Same tall leggy blond from Kentucky if I'm correct Long introduction to me, Clayton Smyth, capybara killer at large. - Give exterminators a run for their money. Right on!! How many years did normal exterminator have to eliminate the Norway rat on their own Where I got my napalm supply was nobody’s business and why I worked alone. - 🤣 Hey, easy way to get out of writing another couple of 100 words or so Thanks for reading and complimenting

Be careful with spell check, you wouldn't want to accidentally write the Penguin Purge Army

Dig, dig Surely you jest

See, I wrote a story in tribute to the capybara

Mercifully? 😮 😮 Okay, I agree with that comment Thank you for commenting

I'm 110% behind you. I have always drinking Diet Coke since they came up with Aspartame (sp?). Since Canada banned saccharine in the mid 70's I went with Tab with no sweetner for too many years. Plus, one one hand you have a loveable polar bear (right @Slytherin ) opposed to Michael Jackson running around with his head on fire. Which do you think is safer to drink?

Fuller, switch the pepsi out for a Diet Coke Maybe @Zombie can help convince him

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

See below . Valkyrie is affectionately know as the site's penguin. I would never do anything or suggest anything to imply harm towards her or her kind Hence I made the clarity that it wouldn't harm cats, dogs or penguins. The all deserve our love

Thanks for the compliment and glad you won't look at bubble wrap again. I also know that if you take me to see Niagara Falls and there is barrel by the river and a roll of bubble wrap to not trust you that you are offering me extra cushioning

A certain person told me that there was capybara's in Florida, wild ones. There is about 50 and the government don't consider them an invasive species as they don't destroy native species. Well, we had to change that, didn't we?

Thanks @VBlew You can probably tell this wasn't a multi-day project

Thanks, Chris. I looked at the words of the prompt and just couldn't figure out how to put a capybara into a short story (blurb, really ) with the rest of the words. I was shaking my fist and yelling 'VALKYRIE' So that motivated me

Check out the Capybara Invasion 😮
