  1. greeny yellow.. they'll get yellower.
  2. I have so many responses to Wayne's prompts. I think one of the first was 447 The Gift, which was the one that started the Faris and James stories and the other #500 What took you so long? which inspired me write Coward, Anal and Time . Which is a personal favourite of mine. I have a bunch of unfinished ones also. I will continue to use them, because they are there and they are inspiring when i am not inspired. Wayne and his wonderful weekly prompts were missed in the past when he was not able to be here and I will continue to look for them on Fridays for the foreseeable future. Thank you, Wayne. You've left a wonderful legacy for us; a well of ideas we can all draw from.
  3. Why have an editor if you don't want to put out your best work? Maybe i'm lucky in that i think of my writing as work, not my baby, not my beloved creation. i don't feel that until it's well and truly finished. It is edited and polished and that's really only possible with an extra set of eyes and another opinion.
  4. My bonuses are based on my work, my bonus influences my boss's bonus etc.. up the line. So i think of coaching like working with an editor. It behooves me to learn and try to find better ways to do things and my boss benefits from helping me. It's win win. That's how i look at it and i make about a month and a half extra pay a year in bonuses. Other people fight it and don't want to learn and they pay for it. hehe, listen to your editor ...
  5. i'm not.. we get coached on our work each week ..
  6. VEGGIE DAY!!!! i love all the stuff we got.. Kale (huge bunch) Broccoli (2lbs!!) 2 large orange peppers, 5 potatoes, 2 cobs of unshucked corn, 5 each of nectarines and peaches and 20 small green plums. Had a good day. Coaching went well, I'm about 160% of my monthly goals. Not too many idiots. Systems are working well and work is a pleasure when i can actually do it. Today is my Friday and i am off for a week. I'm ready for it.

    Late Spring

    Beautiful all, and better late than never. Thanks for these lovely images.
  8. we have had this talk before .. we have not improved here. i think that many us either just don't care that much and really just don't care that much. i did clean up the bedroom a while ago..it's still pretty clean, Michael vacuumed the place a week ago? We'll get around to doing more. Remember, what was written in The Lancet, we can be too clean ... it's better that there's some dust and stuff we are actually healthier that way ~looks around~ Okay, they may not have meant this dusty....
  9. Sorry. i'm a boy, living with another Boy. Don't come here. That's all i can say. mopping? twice a week? hahaha, sorry. That just slipped out, kind of like hysterically. haha i can't remember mopping. Best of luck, molly.
  10. You may have to change your schedule now. You have a nice day too.
  11. The people in Barrie, ON are not so okay. Tornadoes are not that rare up here but mainly happen north of Toronto, where it's more open. Lots of damage to trees, homes/ property, minor injuries from what i read. From the pictures i've seen, it's a real mess.
  12. Never apologize for your work, your creation. Not all stories are light and breezy, full of the joys of spring. Many are dark and that's okay. If you've not been writing long, you will only improve with practice. GA is a fairly safe place to do that. Just do it within the rules. All the best. Write bravely.

    The Farm

    Nothing wrong with that! A nice treat is good for the soul.
  14. Here is our first box of fruit and veg ... there is a huge (huge) romaine lettuce, 3 big tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, 5 small avocados, 3 yellow peppers, about 4lbs of small potatoes and about 3lbs of clementine oranges. This was $18. 1.5lbs of clementines in our store is $4.99, as an example. A bag of small avos is $5.
  15. i hope so. it's not an easy thing to deal with. both of you take care
