A peek at the REAL Thumbster

Marked Down

I've been reduced! Marked down! Returned to the shelf!

AL has withdrawn her bid for me in her "Invalid Item"  Well not exactly her bid on me but for my "An 87/13 Thumbsucker Fantasy Story Date"   (I hope I got the MLtag thingy right) I understand though. She felt it was unethical to bid on her own auction (even though my item was my item and not her's...like one of her sigs). That still leaves MaryLou and Beyond the Cloud9 bidding though. (I'm soooo flattered. I hope my fantasy story date won't be a disappointment)

I DON'T like the new "My Favorites" feature now. I WANT to like it but DON'T for the simple reason I now can't see at a glance what new items or posts my favourite authors have just written. I hope I'm wrong. I hope it's my fault for being a cyber moron and not a screwup on Writing's part. As it stands now I'm sure to miss oodles of items I would have known about otherwise. Yes I know I can click on each of my ten fav authors and checkout what's new that way or add 70 or 80 items to my fav list but that's waaaaaaaaaaaay more inconvenient than how I've been doing it for the last 3 years. I also don't like how the Writing time isn't listed under the new posts. "Updated 17 minutes 43 seconds ago" leaves some doubt in my mind as to when I last checked the item while an exact time (6:54 pm) leaves no doubt. I don't want to start calculating when 17 minutes, 43 seconds ago was from my current Writing time. I liked the old way MUCH better. One click. One stop. An up to the second list of anything new. I HATE change for the sake of change. If it ain't broke don't fix it! I shouldn't get worked up over something so trivial as this should I? Just remember I'll now miss MOST of my favourite author's new items and posts now. (I guess it's not so trivial afterall)

I had a very weird dream last night. One that woke me up. I've tried to remember as much as possible ONLY because I think it would make for a rather interesting story. Definitely unlike anything I've ever written before. (NOT funny at all. Disturbing in fact)

I just frigged up my back less than an hour ago. Pulled a muscle or got a muscle spasm. Hurt like Hell...not when I did it but about ten minutes later when I went to pick something up. It's sore right now but not nearly as painfully. I very seldom complain about my health. Knock on wood I've been heathly as a horse. The only time I've visited the doc (for myself) (3 times in the last 10+ years) was for basketball related injuries and for falling on my wrist in a mall parking lot. Now that was fun)

I best scoot. I still haven't heard back from VW about tonight's Spree. This isn't like her. (Then again I did let her down last week. Sorry Bug) Hope she's okay.

Bye for now

Thumb

(I just heard from veedoubleu and everything's fine but no Spree tonight) Catchya later Bug.
