i'll try and think of some questions ... Thanks for this AAA, C. And thanks to all the authors who chose to share. It helps to know how others are feeling. We've been watching a lot about WWII lately. Michael is very into it but mainly specific years and about flight and the Luftwaffe. So He has a lot of knowledge (and about 100 books) but not much about the Pacific theatre. So we've been watching a lot. There is a point to this, i promise. I started reading books by Robert Leckie and some others who were Marines in the Pacific. I'm not comparing that conflict with today's pandemic, other than it took the men who were there and fought a long time to write about it. And people didn't want to read what they were already living through. I think the same thing will happen here. We will write about it at some point. Maybe not right away, but we will.

Thanks, rick. That's so cool!!

The only day Chat/Email is closed is Christmas Day. I worked New years day this year.. made $500 in overtime. I wont get that much for this holiday but for Xmas Day and New Years day you get 2.5x your salary.

So ... this story is going to be fairly long. We are closing off chapter 12 and have scenes planned for 13. This story is one of people but also of nature so it has to be written around a natural cycle of things. Our story opens in the Spring / March and currently we are in July ... 13 chapters to write 4 months. If this pace continues we could be looking at 40ish chapters. We have a LOT of story to write still. We have a calendar, a timeline and have plotted major events to write around. I cannot promise when it will be finished ... but i can promise it will be worth it. BTW .. it will not be posted with chapters of 1000 words only. Most are 4,000 to 5,000 words.

Good morning, DiCsters ... Happy Tuesday. Tomorrow is Canada Day ... a Holiday. But i decided i'd work ... i'm home anyway ... can't do much with the lockdown in place really so... I chose to work and earn some OT or time in lieu, haven't decided which yet. i booked Thursday off, so i have a long weekend. i hope your Tuesday goes well...

Have a good night everyone.

Social distancing with a bunny!!

Nothing too serious today ... maybe a smile for this Monday morning... Have a good day.

To all my fellow wildebeests .. have a good night.

Yes, that's the truth xo

Like you say we all support each other. Hold each other up. That's what we need to do.

Aw thanks. Honestly, to me there is little choice. Live or die .. and i am too curious to know what will happen next to die. And people don't how much strength they have inside until they need it. My shrink tells me it's okay to quit for a day or two ... beyond that, get up, do something. Cook, bake, go back to work, then get your ass in here and talk to me. haha.. He's a funny guy and he knows me very well. Just never quit.

Just finished my last break.. i will be back to reply to you all xoxo

Ask @Wayne Gray he has a spare kettle.. hahaha .. sorry yours died .. xoxo

Good night all.

oh dear.. well i dont blame you if you need to use hot water.

I've never seen these before. I'll have to look. I've been mixing mine by putting a couple of tablespoons of cold water in a glass with the coffee and sweetner.. the coffee dissolves okay in the cold water.. then i add skim milk and a drop of 2% evap milk and ice cubes.

All your hard work made me crave an iced coffee!

Digging weeds is repetitive work. It's kinda like swimming maybe.. so your brain let's your muscles go and your mind can ponder.

As a submissive in a D/s relationship i am taught the importance of silence. i used to fear it ... silence and quiet. Afraid to alone with my own thoughts. Afraid of just sitting and being. i am a reactive person. i still, often, talk too much. Online it is easy to be that person, i am inside ... brash, not listening and especially not hearing. in 'real life' i don't talk much unless i know you well, because otherwise i trip over my words, stammer, don't trust my own thoughts and ideas. Writing has always been my preferred method of communication. It is something i am good at. But before all that, remains who i am and what i am and the silence that is expected of me. Sometimes it is hard to quiet the storm inside. And when it is hard, when i cannot find that silent place within, i turned to a wonderful piece of writing. An insightful piece. You normally do not see it in this form. But this way requires you be still, calm and quiet to allow the words to travel over and through you as water does over stones. You must calm your mind to read it this way. I find myself needing this today and so i share it here with you all:

Nice!! Today our mall was open.. not all stores were but lots were. Some of the tiny ones you had to order from the outside and they'd get it for you. Honestly.. our grocery store has arrows on the floors and big signs with big arrows.. people just dont get it. After last week and going up and down and around to get in the aisle we wanted we just walked up and down every aisle. i bet the stores are loving that.. you're more likely to buy more that way...
