You can't beat originality, Trudy sounds like fun to me.

In response to "J5: ranting poetic on fun fact day"

Exactly my point! If New York and California and Minnesota were so progressive, why have they not had a woman in an impact role like governor? Instead, Wyoming of all places figured it out long ago. Why don't we have any decent doctors in this frozen tundra. I'd settle for a decent doctor, male or female, when living in this frigid wasteland called Minnesota in the dead of winter.

Have New York and California ever had female governors? I know they have had celebrity guys like Linda Ronstadts ex squeeze, Jerry Brown, and of course, who could forget the Terminator, Arnold and now New York has one of the Cuomo Dynasty.

Maybe they have had women in charge and I've forgotten. I am trying to think of one governor in either state or in my ultra liberal home state of Maryland. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (Robert Kennedy's eldest child) ran there and lost a while back. They are great at telling other parts of the country what they should do though.

Have you had a female governor there in Minnesota?

I know Texas had Ann Richards and South Carolina Nickey Haley.

Otherwise, I can't think of many. Arizona, Jan something or other.

My brain is frozen and we aren't half as cold in the state I currently live in where there have been no women governors. Bundle up there up north!

George Washington invented term limits, too. Awesome founding father to emulate!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion! I'm nearly positive the NFL will not be out of business any time soon. All the people I know who are into football are just as into it now as they were before the protesting stuff.

In response to "annoyance - major and minor"

LOL Cheri!! I have a bad case of CRS too! It drives my husband nuts and other times it amuses him because I tend to remember obscure and useless facts. For example I can remember a neighbor's last name that we haven't seen or heard from in over 10 years but I cannot remember that we made actual plans to do XYZ today.

Hey, it's gift. Free entertainment... embrace it.

random thought du jour

I've been entering contests and wonder why I bother. Rules are broken all over the place. Why are there rules about ratings, when writers don't have to follow them? The other rules are also disregarded, but they still get the wins. I wonder if I cheat....
It's a thought.

I can't believe it. My stories are so much better than the winning entries. The difference? Fantasy genre preference. I can't stand writing about dragons and fairies. God in heaven, a break please.

I must remember to label it a fantasy genre whether it is or not. that should sufficiently satisfy their mental bias for a certain genre. I just did. Let's see if it works.

proof that these contests are rigged: the winning entry, although well written, did not utilize all the prompts.

Fantasy is the gig that gets the most wins in the contests. sometimes comedy steps up and takes a win, but usually it's fantasy. JMO

As I read through this on September 27, I am struck by how right this observation is. I read the winning entries and still think "Mine was better" in 9 out of 10 instances.
