It's 35 F here with a rain/snow mix ❄️

Looks like Lake Erie

Beautiful pics! One of these years I'll make it to west coast. The furthest west I've been is Arizona.

You mean the coastline you just visited, putrid one?

April Fools’ Day was always an exciting day in my house when I was a kid. It was a good idea to check out everything before ingesting food, walking through doorways, or opening drawers. I got my mom good one year by putting orange juice in the milk carton. She never drank from the carton, so I figured my prank wouldn’t work, but wouldn’t you know she actually drank right from the carton that day and got a mouth full of juice instead of milk (she hates juice)! What are some pranks you’ve pulled on your friends or family? Today is also the start of National Poetry Month and National Poetry Writing Month. @AC Benus got us started last week with some great prompts, and we are going to continue offering poetry prompts all month long. The challenge for NaPoWriMo is to write 30 poems in the month of April, or one per day. In the past, many GA poets have taken on the challenge and posted their works here. They don’t all have to be masterpieces, but it’s a great way to get the creative juices flowing and tackle forms you may not otherwise. I’m really looking forward to seeing what the participants come up with this year! PT Prompt #36 – Poetry Borrow a line from your favorite song and write a poem about it. PT Prompt #37 – Creative You’re known as the office prankster and April Fools’ Day is your time to shine. Your co-workers admire your creativity and look forward to the silly pranks you pull every April first. This year, though, your prank goes horribly wrong. What was the prank, and what are the consequence?

That was my favorite line too. I really enjoyed this little ice cream excursion. I'm looking forward to trying out the skyscraper form. I'm also looking forward to reading what everyone comes up with for NaPoWriMo

What was the word of the day today? I don't remember anything after seeing that gif

I've had my own share of escapades too

Congratulations! Well-deserved!

Great interview! I didn't have time to read the story, but I'll add it to the list.

I don't know what you're talking about you hoser. Eh?

I know we're close to the border, but last time I checked, Buffalo wasn't in Canada. I'm all for penguins, though

Go Sabres!

I'm looking forward to NaPoWriMo 2022 and seeing what everyone comes up with. I've never tried either of these forms, but I have a whole month to tackle them. Thanks, AC!

It's also what AAA gave us to navigate on long trips, prior to GPS and Mapquest. Nice yellow highlighted routes lol

It's not me. I'm not blonde, and I prefer red.

To Randy!

Mine aren't usually that cute

I've edited out a lot of exclamation points from stories, not just @Aditus so you are very much not alone! (exclamation point )

I don't think medical professionals are cognizant of the stress waiting a week for results like that place on people. I've been waiting six months to see a specialist for insight on 'inconclusive' results. He has a three-month-long wait to get a freaking appointment, and the one I had in January was the day we got over two feet of snow. So the rescheduled appointment was another three month wait I'll keep my fingers crossed for good news for you. At least the writing course sounds like fun.

Great little story! Absolutely perfect for St. Patrick's Day! You packed a lot into such a short story, but it didn't feel rushed. I had a feeling about the ending when there was such a reaction to Cian and Finn's night of passion. I really enjoyed this. ☘️

Now I have "Conjunction Junction" stuck in my head
