That's what he said. 😁😈 *coughs* sorry... When the brain instantly goes into the gutter. Hope everyone is doing okay.

Good news! Already have an interview tomorrow with a different Non-profit in the area. Senior Accountant role, and the org works with Foster Kids, and Families of Youth who are in foster care or up for adoption.

Thanks, spyke. Thank you, Reader Thanks, tim. They did, and the VP of HR has given me some leads to apply at.

I was reading one of the rare stories that actually has a plot on Nifty, and at the bottom the author mentioned GA. The story was Shelter, and the author was Comicality. After a few days of reading several wonderful stories, I started thinking, "I can do this." So, I posted my first story, Aeris - Guardian Force. It was, and still is, riddled with many errors. Cia approached me about what I posted and encouraged me to give it another go, and I fixed a lot of the blatant errors. Then I met @Mikiesboy, @MichaelS36, @MacGreg, @mollyhousemouse, JP, among others, and found a community to I could belong to. Over the years, I've taken breaks for various life reasons, but I've always come back to GA.

Thanks, Wayne. Thanks, kbois. Already filed for Unemployment and for EBT. Not sure how either will work with Ubering.

So, I was laid off Monday... completely unexpected. Prayers please. At least I have time to write now, and going to be Uber Eats / Door Dashing, until I can get something better.

That's helped me with the Steampunk one I wrote. Though I am in the middle of writing a Star Wars Fanfic, a kind of a "What If" like Disney likes to do with Marvel. "What if you take a Jedi Battlemaster, an Outlander, from the Old Republic Era, freeze them in Carbonite, and then unthaw them during the Rebellion Era?"

I'm glad you loved it, Quilah. Though, I must apologize for being the cause for the Coffee Abuse.

Thank you again.

Thank you for reading, Quilah. I had to reread the story myself, and what others and my own comments said to remember this piece. There were three versions of this story when it was written. The first the brothers were saved by a god from the world, but that ran over the word limit and I felt was bit anticlimactic. The second version, they were exiled to an island were the kingdom sends their worset prisoners. It too went a little long in the tooth, and I couldn't find a good way to "end" it, without it seeming rushed. The third version, this one, where they died, ended up feeling like the right way to end the story within the confines of the rules of the game (as this was one of Cia's Forum Game Prompt-Inspiration Challenges), and made sense in the overall fantasy world I write my fantasy stories in.

Thank you, Vcs for reading and for the comment. Sorry for the late response been way too busy to do much writing lately, or to respond to comments. You are correct about the sad state of some countries outside of our own. I for one, will never willing go visit one.

What brand did you get? I've been looking to get one for the apartment. Yes, normal and needed. It's how new growth and new life happens in the wilderness. Though, I feel we need to introduce more beavers to the environment, and create more wetlands.

It's been Satan's Ass Crack for the last week now. Thank the gods for AC. As for Gators here in Florida, the saying is, "If you see a body of water, from a puddle to a lake, if it's wet assume there's a Gator in it." But also remember, in the second grade, they taught us Gator survival skills.

Excellent poem, tim. I sometimes echo the feeling that you expressed here. It did remind me about the Book of Job in the Christian Bible, where Job's friends came to sit and wait with him, as he went through his trials.

Happy Thursday everyone. I'm loving all the reaction videos on Social Media right now of the Europeons coming over to the USA for the World Cup. It's fun watching someone have a life changing experience, eating Biscuits and Gravy at Waffle House.
