I adopted a three headed dog! He answers to the names Cerberus or Fluffy. April fools!

So what did you really name him? *Laugh*
The only "working" car we had went into the dealership for repairs two and a half weeks ago.(or maybe it's all been two weeks? Idk.) i haven't got an e-mail or a text from anyone that isn't on WDC.

Even though I get out to run errands, I am beginning to feel isolated and bored. Thank gosh I have myself to talk to. It's just me, my father in law and the ghost here.

Here's a list...

What should I do? Open in new Window. (E)
A listing of activities, contests, groups, etc. around WdC
You have until midnight to write one or two sentences for this month’s round over at Hook of the Book Open in new Window. *Smile*
Thanks Jeremy S 🤦, Amethyst Angel 💐 ! I'll definitely give some of these a shot.*Hug1**Smile**Hug2*
Today, I just made four inches of wood into the body of a toy canoe. I can tell you I literally put my blood, sweat and tears into that. I cut my finger rather bad and now there's a red badge of courage on my boat! Lol

Ichabod Crane-writing-reading. Author Icon - yeah I'm fine. Everything's bandaged up.
Dave Ryan Author Icon - ok, I'll see if I can't ring up VanHellsing for some of that stuff.*Vamp*
Dave Ryan Author Icon - Lmao "Feed me, Seymour!"
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:
 The Muse He Married Open in new Window. (13+)
Urania looked like a slave but she was a goddess.


I'm a little embarrassed about this one. I forget which great grandfather married a mononym who really was named Urania. This is all speculation and not real and probably the least PC thing I've written.*Blush*

It is marked private
Bunny Sox Author Icon - oops! My bad, again, I'll fix it.
Bunny Sox Author Icon - now I've got it public! Sorry about that.
I've added a new item to my portfolio:
 Fran Leaps To Freedom Open in new Window. (ASR)
Fran wanted to immigrate to America. Her custodial guardian thought it was a bad idea.


This is absurd and the real person this was based on was named Hepsibah Death. No she didn't invent a springy shoe but she really did jump out a window.

And that is the rest of the story of pogo sticks. *Laugh*
Ichabod Crane-writing-reading. Author Icon - exactly! Lol! My 3rd great grandmother is probably angry at me for being so flippant.*Rolling*
Forgot to mention, it was only the second story of their house and Hepsibah was fine irl.
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:
 Snow Bird and the Wolves Open in new Window. (13+)
A long time ago, there was a war between two factions. Snow Bird led her people.


Two down two to go. It's not great but far longer than the foot note on my family tree it was based on.
This probably is a bad idea but I'm totally going to try and churn out 4 stories inspired by "true events."(They happened over 150 years ago, I'm changing the names and some a lot of the details. They're from my family but if I make them steampunk or fantasy nobody besides me and maybe my dad would know who I based them off of.) uhoh. Yeah I dunno I'll sleep on it.

Good to see back here! As for the stories - go for it! What have you got to lose?
S 🤦 Author Icon - being haunted by at least one great grand parent. But other than that, not much.*Bigsmile*
Scary Potato Author Icon - Got a smudge bundle for that.
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:
 Paul the Bull Wrestler Open in new Window. (ASR)
What you do when faced with a bull is important. It might save lives.


Short and loopy, inspired by a true story. One down, three to go.

Unplanned Exploration Open in new Window. (13+)
There just happened to be a cave on this beach Danielle hadn't seen it on any map.

YeHck but at least another one bites the dust.

I yell that at my muse all the time. *Laugh*
Ichabod Crane-writing-reading. Author Icon - thats funny, mostly my muse and I look at each other one of us says "What are you saying?" To which the other replies "I dunno, let's just tack an ending on. Maybe nobody noticed we're confused."
Just had a talk with someone about the themes in this song. I think if we ignore gender of the lyrics, I've got me a theme song.

Not that I was a soldier but...we all have things in our past.
This afternoon, I made a trip to our local c-store. When I came back, the crows that hang out in our neighborhood sounded like they were playing Marco-Polo in the tree tops. It was so cute!

Give them presents and they will organize to be your Army of the Night forever.
Robert Waltz Author Icon - sometimes I leave them kitchen scraps. Last halloween I let them eat our jack-o-lantern. Maybe I should get them some grapes. Supposing the squirrels don't get there first. *Smile*
Hi another day in the neighborhood! May you have a good one.
Just wrote an essay about research for a college application. Yep. That just happened.
In light of the kerfuffle I cause by thinking I have it all figured out, calling out what I see as uncivil behavior, etc. I am enacting a new policy. Abbreviated STFUADSA. If you can figure out that acronym, good for you. You'll not be hearing any comments. I am limiting myself to the standard "like, heart, care'd, ect." Buttons for newsfeed interaction. Anything else is not to be trusted.

I get it. I've upset several people on here several times. It's part of why you won't see me using emojis anymore. Apparently, people misunderstand my emojis. (There's scientific research showing different generations read them differently.) I get hurt easily when I hurt others. It's never my intention.

I've pulled back on my own interactions because of it and I've noticed at least one person who had an issue with me is no longer around, I'm guessing because of the situation, since they exited right after. I hate that because I know they loved it here. It's hard to interact with others without anyone getting hurt, especially online.
Great acronym!
Schnujo's Giving Away GPs Author Icon - yeah I'm starting to realize that. Sorry you've been having a tough time too. It's too bad there's so many ways things can get misinterpreted.
Today would've been my husband's 49th birthday. I'm celebrating for both of us.
