All i can say is wow the ethics of this are pretty sketchy.

i've read a lot of stories on GA but for me the best i've read has to be the Judas Tree series. An amazing and beautifully crafted story, written through the eyes of a young boy. It is a story of growing up and learning what the world around us is truly like. It is about the loss of a beautiful innocence but it is also about hope. This story showed me what the art and craft of writing truly can be.

Sounds like a wonderful vacation. Thanks for sharing it.

okay ... i didn't dare speak about this before.. but i am happy today. just finished chapter 7 on my latest story.. i think i can actually see finishing this. Working title is Kidnapped ... dark but with glimmers of hope and an uneasy walk toward the end. Maybe another 5 chapters to go.. then editing and more editing and reading. But i know where the road will take these characters .. but who knows... trees fall on roads and there are forks... but i think i can finish this one.

You sure? Don't want to even go for 2 days straight? LOL

We signed up for weekly veggie delivery. Their mandate is to distribute fruit and vegetables that are not 'good' enough to sell to the usual markets and stores and sell them to subscribers weekly. It's $18 for the 'solo' box and $3 for delivery. So far it's been great. We've eaten everything, tried new things and enjoyed it all. We've had the most amazingly fresh food. It's cheaper and so much better than what we can purchase in our local grocery store. We've had the best peaches and cantaloupe we've had in years. We get our box of veg on Thursday and then figure out what to make with all the things we have. Then do groceries on Friday. Our diet is more varied. Best move we've made in years. Who knew there were Baby Gold Peaches? So different from what we usually know as peaches. Luckily we both like just about every vegetable which makes it easier for us to enjoy this. Check around your neck of the woods, maybe they there's a local option.

i like this but i'd like it more without the 'that is life' bit. Most of life is life because if its not it's death.

wonderful .. we just got told that a 200 ft section of one of our busiest downtown roads/subway stations will likely be closed for half a decade aka 5 years, due to construction. Such fun. i pity those who have to be down there. i don't thankfully.

Never been camping. i've slept outside but i don't think that's the same thing. Often i was joined by police, so i'm sure it's not the same thing! lol You make it sound like fun, however. i enjoyed seeing these families again. I am sure that Gus and Harry will have great times, but i'm not sure it will be forever. And you know what, i think that's okay. Life is not a fairy tale and most relationships don't last forever. But that's just part of life. Something i've come to realize in the last couple of years. Thanks for another good slice of The Refuge, Wayne.

i like it too. i enjoyed the view ..

therapy is great .. and painful.

i think it could help.. if you're focusing on your Plan, you're thinking about where your head is at. It may not stop it, but it could reduce how bad it gets or how long it lasts. i find that with Sanvello, it makes me think and do positive things to help myself.

Have a great week ... i'm going to make one of these: Emergency Mental Health Kit

We are both writing other projects, mine for sure you know of. I'm 1/2 thru ch 7 as of this morning. I think Wayne is in the same sort of area with his. I hope i can finish this one but maybe another 4 or 5 chapters? Not sure yet. Then we will have to look at Wild Maple Farm with fresh eyes .. i wonder if we will like what we see?

We're a bit stuck as well because well, we just haven't been back together to look at it. I think if we reread it now, we'll be pretty critical.

That happened to lots of creative people for various reasons, me included. The world was suddenly just changed, like someone pulled the rug out. i needed time to adjust. So did you but for you there was more, suddenly your job changed and you were needed more than ever. The story is huge and complex and i don't know if we can go back. i don't want to rewrite it all. But maybe i'm looking at it wrong. It's not finished not even close. It also hasn't been edited ...it defo needs that in a bad way.

A terrific response to the prompt set in our world of today. It shows the strength and resilience of the human spirit. I enjoyed it very much.

The strength and bravery of the human heart never fails to astound me. We find unknown strength when it comes to survival of nearly anything. Parents do all they can to shield their children, yet they know their super powers only extend so far. They know one day they have to let go and set their children free. Theirs is a bravery with no Silver Star. Good parents, teach, nurture, love and guide. Then the watch their progeny jump from the nest; hopefully to soar. Sometimes, some do not ... Your brother and sister-in-law could have tried to stop their next from taking that leap. They overcame their pain to do right by their daughter. A selfless, loving act. i have watched you and Phil Sir do all of this with your own kids and i admire you both.

this makes me sad ... we did so much work on that.. so much

You know how i feel already. Not saying anymore. xo

That's good news and i'm glad you feeling better. The fridge.. well. Sorry about the flood but now you can shop for a new fridge. you know you wanted to!!

well well, look what the cat dragged in .. about time... Glad you had a nice vacation!!!!

i hope everyone has a good week ...
