Enjoy your time out shopping... Have a few tastes for me.

Thanks, AC. I appreciate you commenting and reading the story. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I seem to have a lot of stories about family, and love in some way. I'm glad it worked out in this one.

Yes... y'all have done it... I'm gonna have to see about getting some of this stuff.

Ssssuuurrreee BB. I remember you saying the Backwoods Bar was a goto spot for you. Admit it, that's an Irish Cream coffee. LOL Y'all are making want some potato cakes, and some fried cornbread.

I've done black beans in a chocolate cake before. Oh, add that to the list of different veggie breads.

Nope. I've had Potatoe Bread before, but never zucchini. If it counts, gingerbread and carrot cake too. I did not know that. I think I need to look into it more. Though, getting anything like that past anyone here is like pulling teeth.

Thank you very much for reading and for the comment, Puppilull. @comicfan has inspired me to do a bit more on the Xenoni aliens. Though it will be a bit of time before I get to that.

Thank you, Agent D international spy. It was really fun to write, and I'm starting to see putting in the becoming Fathers part is a reader favorite.

The only time I did anything with collars, it was purple... red isn't my color. Halloween Party and the theme was an animal night. I went as a dalmatian.

BB the WOW was for: The Huckleberry sounds good, but zucchini?

Well, some good news with school. They have a winter break from Dec. 24th - Jan. 7. So, two weeks without class! I'll be furiously writing during those two weeks.

I'm back... Unexpected issues cropped up.

Off to go pretend I'm a sociable student, and to finish these videos. There were a TON of them.

I liked the zen stones, I like the Christmas one, and I routinely swap out Avatars. As for Muffins... Yes. Good Morning all my DiC friends. Mom is doing well, and she loved the anthology story. She said she was very impressed. I hadn't shown her that one, and that was the first final she read as well. Grocery run is done, and now back to school stuff.

Thank you very much, @comicfan for reading and commenting. I'll respond to each point you made. The first incarnation of this idea was a 350-word scene from one of Cia's Newsletter game. The lottery Idea stemmed from a "what if" idea about a future human culture in the aftermath of an apocalypse would be like. The idea of It being rigged against gays and other "undesirables" came almost directly to mind. Thank you. I wanted to show the war but show it more as a snapshot, rather than the full start to finish. I read that there has been theoretical research being done on trying to combine the DNA of two male hosts. The idea fit the story, so I took it. I'm glad I did, as I feel it makes the story's theme of love shine better. I just might have to do another story. Hmm, ideas. Thank you, yet again for the comment. I appreciate the feedback, and you got me inspired.

Ahem...

tim, this is a thought-provoking poem. The use of the words to paint a visual of a person, walking in a dark maze of their own mind, is stunning. The fleeting scraps of memory of departed friends, loved ones, ex-partners, or even those that weren't so good to us, sent chills down my spine. For me, it reminds me of my first boyfriend and true love.

Just me on the Nightwatch. Sleep Well, my Friends.

Sleep Well, my Brother.

Sleep Well, Thorn.

Sleep Well, miss molly. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

Don, Louis, and Max are my favorites from your stories. 🙂 Yeah, my last class' professor brought that one up, in a discussion I started about the difference between academic and creative writing. I call Bullshyte on it. I have my favs.

If you have 2 hours to Kill...

Some Pentatonix for the Christmas Season.

You know... I thought it was cool I found a model that reminded me of Jeremy. I thought it was cool that he's doing stuff that I've written and plan to do in my stories. I even though it was awesome, that he was in a behind the scenes travel pic with 3 other models, that I had been using for three other characters. However, my mind is totally blown away now. The models I choose for Jeremy and Travis, boyfriends in my stories, is now in a series of pics together for an "artistic" shoot for a French publication. Both posed and behind the scenes shots. In various states of dress and undressed. Mind Fraking Blown! They say authors shouldn't have favorite characters in their stories. I do. Jeremy and Travis are my favs, followed by Adam, Duncan, and Robert.
