How do you do that miss Smartie pants!?"

You need to download the photos to photobucket then copy and paste the HTML link and that's it!

Terri, the turtle story gave me goosebumps and chills--beautiful...

Thx Christine! I've taught myself that it's ok to believe in the signs & messages. It brings me peace & doesn't hurt anyone. If I truly believe that my B & I had a special bond, not even his death would break it. Thx for letting me share the story. I was telling my mom the other day that I don't NEED to talk about him 24/7, I just NEED to know that I could. :)

How was your day my dear?

Terri,
I wrote you a message regarding your last precious post and somehow, I knocked the message off, I guess.
I understand what you are saying.......with your turtle experience. As it is MY experience, God speaks to us in many ways, thru many mediums. Thank you so much for sharing........I loved your post.
Xoxo

I am with you, Terri, I believe in signs and messages too. Thanks for sharing your story. So poignant.

I had a pretty good day yesterday. Got a few things done. Visited my folks. Also got to start a new book (The Dark Before Dawn by Laurie Stevens). I love starting new books. I usually do not recall a lot about a book after shelving it, but do not refresh my memory by rereading it prior to starting the book. I know I will be interested as I am the one who put it on a shelf, but then I get to start off "cold", not knowing what to expect. I like that.

hey MN Chris, I like your profile pic. :)

I was gone a whole weekend and I missed everyone. I come back to: swimming with turtle...hairballs...kitties sucking on ears...crack potatoes...and everyone being nefarious.

Wow! just wow. If that doesn't sum up this group then I don't know what does.

Welcome back Kristy! It's definitely hard to keep up with all the chatter and craziness here!

Great summation, Kristy. I think you covered the low-lights.

welcome back kristy. :)

Thankfully, this is the only group I'm active in. I don't think I could keep up with much more.

Thanks for the welcome!

@ Kristy - Actively absconding. Now THAT is being nefarious.

Kristy.....
Save alot of grief. Take us with you next time. What a slumber party this would be.

@ Dips: LOL, yes that's what I do to fit in around here.

@ Ter'e: I would have loved everyone to join me. My weekend was a busy soccer tournament for my boy. It was an hour and a half away and we had to stay overnight.

I did manage to watch Catching Fire for the second time. I absolutely adore that series.

Kristy.......that just jogged me. i still have the last book, in the series, to read. I loved this series (Both books and flicks) And.......I loved the Twilight series.

Mocking Jay was my favorite. It really pulled the three books together. I didn't care much for Twilight. I stopped reading 3/4 through the first book. I haven't taken the time to watch the Twilight movies but I will get to them one of these days. I'm sure the movies will appeal to me much better than the books.

YA is something that I have to be in the mood to read.

I read a really cool horror short story called The Monster in my closet by Wil Wheaton and it was pretty good. Here's the link if any one wants to go read his story.

Wil Wheaton is such an adorable guy. Totally remember him as a kid on Star Trek. I'm glad he's still working in the entertainment business.

Yeah he's in the big bang theory, is a writer and has his own show online where he plays tabletop games. He's got one coming to Syfy next month too.

My kids are counting down the seconds! What grade do you teach Ruth?

Ruth wrote: "Usually so much fun...today...WAR zone. lol"

I can imagine, I have a 2nd, 7th and 10th grader

Mine are both happy!

I hope so! Because that would mean you are an awesome teacher.

Ruth, I think you have the best job. If I were a teacher I'd want to teach writing/language arts to 5th, 6th, or 7th graders. I think that age is great because their minds are just becoming open to the possibilities.

My daughter loves to write. :)

Oh lord. I really hat that about our state. A little bragging: she got second place in a city wide creative nonfiction contest. First place was a English professor at a local university, third place was a MFA student. :). And my 15 yr old got second!

Wow Daniel! You must be one proud dad!

I am!

awesome Daniel. :) when I was in the 8th grade, I got an award from my 8th grade English teachers for creative writing excellence which was pretty cool.

Congratulations, Amber. And hopefully between you and my daughter we will have plenty of great stuff to read way into the future!

And thank you, Ruth,I am very proud of her!

Ruth, are you in Nebraska?

Daniel, that is so exciting for you and your daughter. You know this means that you too must be very intelligent!

Chris

Yep thanks Daniel. I'm 26 now but I got the award a long time ago. :) and thanks Ruth.

So very awesome, Amber. I am very impressed by that. Did you ever consider writing a print novel?

Chris

Hi guys! I'm waiting in line to get my oil changed so I thought I'd check in! When I use the app tho I can't see the chats while typing so all I can really reply to is Amber w/ a congrats!

I leave on my trip tomorro so im running around trying to get all those errands done that need to get done b4 I go. Like the oil change... I HATE doing the oil tho cuz I'm scared of falling in that hole in the ground! I have them drive my car in for me. :(

Thanks Chris. I'm thinking when I finish my YA horror fantasy web serial the AbyssFantastical that I am writing right now that I might turn it into a zine version which is a independent magazine you make yourself and donate it to my local library but we'll see what happens. I also want to send it to my fave actor Robert Englund to read and enjoy as a gift for his birthday coming up since he inspired me for the villain in it, NightShade. I'm just having fun writing it for fun and for others to read and enjoy.

thanks terri. :)

I need a day off.

Terri, where are you off to?

Chris

Lol Christine, I like that!

Thanks Chris. I'm just having fun writing a chapter a week until I finish it and chapter 12 may be the last chapter that I am writing right now to end the serial but we'll see what happens. If you ever want to read it, I'll be happy to link it to you by chapter and hope you enjoy it. :)
