  1. Are you asking for a slap????? I think I might have used it once or twice but once or twice in all those words isn't that bad, right? For me... I HATE the word gonna... how lazy is that? What's wrong with going to. When slang is appropriate then fair play... in dialogue etc but other than that.....
  2. Glad you're back hun. I hate banks. I used to work in one. Do you have any idea what you are going to do In December? I wish I lived closer.

    Mayyybeeee Sar has a limited understanding of a lot of things. He is very single minded and to be honest if it hadn't been for the imprinting thing I think he would have left Glory to the wolves. He helps people but only those he things deserve it and on his terms. Would he have thought that a Damphir worth saving? WHo knows? He does have a thing against Circuses though so maybe he would

    We...ell There is definitely some good hard f**king going on at some point. Whether either of them actually enjoy it is another matter
  6. Hmmmm.... I tried to think of something really psychotic about either of my exes but the best I can do is that my first husband is married to a bitch. But that's his fault for having no balls which is the reason we separated in the first place. As far as my second husband is concerned I really don't have anything to complain about. Both he and his girlfriends are good friends of mine. Sometimes it's a bit awkward but not very often.

    Chapter 8

    Today Fougue is silent as he works, straightening out my wing and probing with gentle fingers. There are some places where it hurts but it’s much better than yesterday and it feels good to stretch it out, like stretching out your body when you’ve been curled up. I feel awkward though. It keeps going over and over in my mind... what did he see? What does he think about what he might have seen? Who is he going to tell? What is he going to tell? What is whoever he tells going to think? Aaargh...
  8. I absolutely agree about the mail How about a recipe. This has been handed down in our family for generations.. my daughter and my great nieces all make it. It's so simple though that you may already have it CORNED BEEF PIE Ingredients Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, Cornflower, Tin Of Corned Beef, Flour, Lard, Margerine, Salt. Gravy Browning Make Pastry Mix salt and flour, rub in lard and margerine (equal quantities and in total half as much as the flour) and work with fingers until it is the consistency of breadcrumbs. Add water little by little until it all sticks together and will roll into a ball. (keep everything as cold as possible except the fat at the beginning which should be at least room temperature Put it to one side. Make Pie Filling Chop up the carrots and onions. Boil them in water which has a little salt in. (not too much salt because the corned beef is salty Peel the potatoes and, when the carrots and onions have softened a little put the potatoes in. Take an ovenproof dish. Roll out the pastry. Place the dish on the pastry upside down and cut around it leaving a little extra. Turn the dish up the right way and line the lip with the cut away pastry so the crust will have something to bind to (when it's cooked this is the best bit) When the vegetables are soft, thicken the broth with cornflour and darken with gravy browning. Cut up the corned beef. Layer the vegetable layers and the corned beef in the dish. Put on the pastry lid,cut slashes in it to let steam out, brush with beaten egg or milk and cook until the crust is brown. Unfortunately I have no times or measurements etc... I just know You can make this into a pastie by rolling the pastry thinner and putting it on a plate or pattie tins, hold the plate up and pare the edges. Don't thicken or put gravy browning in. Drain. Mash the potatoes, carrots, onions and corned beef. Fill the plate, dish etc and put on the pastry lid and cook as before. These appear at EVERY family occasion. We all compete as to who can make the best. i am crap at pastry so it's never me, but I think my filling's better
  9. It's impossible for anyone to answer that question for you. They can answer it for them but they aren't and weren't and can't be in your situation. Some of the pros and cons are Pros You don't have to hide anything You can be who you are all the time You are more likely to find others like you You're not afraid of your secret getting out. Cons You might not be accepted by your familied and/or friends who might be angry, spiteful, violent etc. You might attract unwanted attention You might not be safe You might be isolated You might lose friends This is only a taste though and it's something you have to work through for yourself

    Jon, you can come and visit whenever you like. As for you Westie... watch your drinks and your back... and don't think that Paya will help you
  11. Well... You can't MAKE anyone fall in love with you. Also you can't make someone change their sexual orientation for you. BUT... you are the only one who knows your friend. If you are getting vibes from him go with it. Keep it as friends and spend as much time together as possible and see how it goes. Don't push it. That isn't a good idea whatever your orientation is. Let things unfold naturally and see where you go
  12. Uh oh. Would anyone like to foster a black cat? Broom for sale. One owner flies to the left. NOBODY look in the cauldron
  13. Ummm... being the shy person I am how can I find anything to say about myself? I am a bisexual mother of two.(well IRL, I seem to have adopted quite a few more since I joined this forum ) I live in the Welsh Valleys and I'm a writer and artist. I dabble at being a lawyer to pay the bills so i can do what I was really put on the earth to do. I'm a vampire... er... yes, a real one; a lover of fallen angels, an idealist, sentimentalist, blah blah... fluent in bullshit with a diploma in advanced sarcasm. I have a liking for Goth dolls and heavy makeup and until recently i had green hair... well bits of it. Now it's all black. I am NOT 'a goth' and don't really know what that means. I just happen to be obsessed with black clothes and anything relating to death... don't get me started on THAT subject Although on the outside I am 46, on the inside I am only just on my way out of puberty. I am irreverent and like to take the piss out of myself as much as anyone else. I can be moody, fickle and unreliable and it seems I'm always making excuses for letting people down but that's my fault becasue I take on too much and then moan about it I like to write and do it a lot. People seem to like what I write so all good ummm... that's about it. Oh, Nephylim is not my real name (D'uh) but I get really pissed if anyone calls me Cheryl. Cheryl is something my mother chose to name me and was never the person I am... Nephylim is what I chose to name myself... okay it's a description of part of name I chose to name myself... or was named... or... OKAY names are REALLY REALLY important to me so lets just say I'm Nephy... end of
  14. I have to admit that the whole thing has it's teeth into me pretty bad and there is a part III in production. I don't know how far I can go after that though. I am so glad you like the story. Ben is ace.

    Accepting oneself

    I think one of the greatest things about your blogs and general comments is that they always make me think. This time i am thinking a lot... about my life and limitations; about my spiriuatlity and beliefs and about others. No one defines my morals but myself, but i have fallen into a habit of expecting others to have the same and being disappointed when they don't. You are a wonderful example of someone what has balance in their life and that leads to a kind of peace that can only come with understanding and acceptance. I went through a period a few years ago when I faced the darkness in me, fought it for a while and then accepted it. Life has been richer since and, I think, I have been a better person... go figure. I think that at your age you deserve a break. The disappointment of others is not an issue for you now. They know your situation and your limitiations. If they are relying on you then more fool them; they should know better. As I have told you before you have to live your life to your strengths and weaknesses and do what's best for you. If you need to work then work, but as soon as it stops fulfilling that need then pull back. If the time has come to put on your slippers and take your pipe out onto the porch to watch the sunset then do it and to hell with anyone else... you deserve it.
  17. You're far too cute to be Russell Brand. Beautiful eyes hun How rude You even look beautiful with a hangover. NO FAIR Homey, you're beautiful in any colour Never mind how you're 'supposed' to do anything. You are looking way good beautiful Ah hun you are so beautiful Now am wishing I was 20 years younger. Although, if I was I wouldn't have had all those wonderful experiences so I guess I'll leave you youngins to each other and keep chasing Sam

    It's been suggested that I might be part cat. I think that I have had associations with cats in all my lives. Maybe they've rubbed off because it was so easy and so much fun to write Glory's cat
  19. Welcome to GA. It's just one big family here so we have our black sheep and our annoying kinds and embarassing uncles who dance at weddings and all sorts. I'm sure you'll fit right in Welcome to GA hun. Yeah, it can be confusing at first but persevere but I promise you will get there eventually. If you have trouble there are lots of people around who would be happy to help UH OH any friend of Andy''s bound to be trouble Waves to North Dakota. Welcome to GA. Here it is a VERY small world and it doesn't matter where you come from, you're close Welcome hun. I would go with the Rose if I were you or you could well end up as Bumble
  20. Oh WOOOOOOO I SO wish I knew how to put cute pictures into the post. Hang on, let's give it a try
  21. I have written stories all my life but, until I joined this site, no one had ever read any of them. It felt as if I had given birth to children who had been kept in a drawer. (anyone knowing of the Brittas Empire will giggle here) Not only have I been able to post my stories and have people read them but... oh my GOD, I've had people say they actually like them... AND discuss them. Believe it, or not, that has been A huge huge thing for me. That in intself has changed me and changed my life. And then I have met so many incredible people. Many of them have become friends and, as Maria has said, some of them feel more like family. There are my adopted kids, and Rush, my virtual fiancee and my crushes and people I feel I can rely on and be totally secure in opening my heart to. Like Maria, I have been inspired to start to paint again, with some pretty surprising results. Having my characters brought to life by the discussions, I have been inspired to paint them and make them even more real. So I have friends hanging on my walls as well as on the computer screen. I feel that I have been able to play a small part in helping others to feel better about themselves. All in all this site has changed my life in so many ways it's impossible to describe without going into a serious rant. And I would also like to offer my thanks to Myr and all the admins, mods and support workers who work so hard to make this site the best it can possibly be.
  22. Oh yes. If only I were two decades younger.

    Chapter 7

    I'm really glad you liked it. I thought that Rover and Glory's relationship needed to be dealt with before Sar comes into the mix. And you won't have long to wait. Thank you for the amazing compliment about my characters being so real. I think maybe that's the case because they are so real to me. I know them personally; they are all my friends
