Dumb joke: someone told me to "do the opposite and choose the positive." I think I get it. I have to choose the cathode and not the anode.

Figured out how to keep the thing from flooding. Cat litter moat(clay unscented), get up and bail out in morning, unplug by evening. Repeat until September or October. Gonna be my exercise routine because I literally lost track of the Sub-pump we ordered.*FacePalm*

Spud(She/Her) Author Icon - I hate when I do that as well. It can be maddening and it's usually hiding in plain sight.

Hope you find it.
TheBusmanPoet Author Icon - thanks
Spud(She/Her) Author Icon - You're welcome.
Added my pronouns to my handle. I know that on the internet nobody can see me but I want to be known as female. Even if I am a Spud. Don't care if I offend anyone or it doesn't make sense.

I have always been female. My hormones are out of wack.(I was born female but some endocrine problem makes me look brawny.) My three measurements aren't perfect and I don't adhere to anyone's standards. But I am a woman and I will not hide that anymore. I AM SPUD!*HeartP*

Just thought you all ought to know.

In a world where you can be anything you want, be yourself. Be free. I accept everyone for who they are.

While I totally understand why people may choose not to include their pronouns, and while I think some people got way too militant about expecting everyone to start including their pronouns... I've never understood people who have issues with others voluntarily providing their pronouns. It's literally a guide to help others know how you prefer to be addressed! Do the people that get annoyed by that also get annoyed by including an email address or phone number in your work email signature? "How dare you give me unsolicited information about how I can reach you!" *RollEyes*
Jeff Author Icon - that last bit about contact info made me giggle.
Holy crap! Watching music videos helped. This story won the Writer's Cramp! It also features hot "Old Ladies". *Wink*

Special thanks to those commented on "Note: Got a review that made me think. I'm setting a..." you really helped inspire me!

None of the characters was my grandma this time. Just some nonsense based on some people I once hung around. With a whole lot of fiction thrown in. *Smile*

I may or may not have played too much HSR. Monkeys taking over the news feed kind of reminded me of a story arc from that game.

Thank you for the trinket and the information!
Got a review that made me think. I'm setting a rule for myself. I should've done a long time ago. I was having a dry spell so I used personal anecdotes/family stories as the basis for some of my fiction.

It's kind of hit or miss with those having a middle a beginning or end. I can't speculate on the motivations of any one of my family members. Therefore, I will not use that type of event as part of a story that needs to be a story.(Also I never used any names of any living family members. I did make the mistake of putting one of my several great grandmas in a romance story. Big mistake.*FacePalm* )

Not angry, just turning over a blank page and moving forward. *Smile*

I understand completely, brother.

Sadly, Uncle Buck went home to Jesus this past year. He was the only one in the family who got the humor in the tale... even if it was only the parts about uncle Larry/

You know the problem with lots of rain, a portable AC unit keeping things climate controlled and one human bailing out the large reservoir beneath it? That human can't keep up!

I know I know there should've been infrastructure there so we could drain the cistern to the outside! But dammit I'm stuck in the middle of this. I switched things off. It's forecast for MORE RAIN and a heatwave this week! Shed already flooded I had to shut the AC/Dehumidifier off. Thank goodness that we ran the power from outside that storage area.

All I got to say is AWW Shit!

Sorry too hear. *Frown*
Dear God, please help everyone who is flooded or flooding because of the excessive rain. Be with them to uplift their spirits, help them have peace, and help them do what is necessary during these difficult times in Jesus name, amen.
dogpack saving 4premium+ Author Icon - thanks for the prayer; house is ok it's just the humidity this summer gets condensed out by the portable AC. We wouldn't have a flooded shed if we hadn't been trying to keep food storage cool w/o proper logistical setup for where the water goes.

But the rest of the people who ran afoul of real natural disasters probably need the prayers more than I do.
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:

Under the Same Moon Open in new Window. (18+)
A werewolf and a vampire solve murders. At least when they're not at each other's throats.
now they're arguing in the parking lot. Too tired to move forward. Will add more tomorrow.
I worked really hard. My father-in-law got a new mobility scooter. I freed her from her cargo box, put her together and dragged her into the house. I've named her Red Lucky! She weighs 135lbs and eats electrons. She even has a trashcan friend named Little Gray. (Yes I gave the scooter a gender and name. I'm weird. Not changing that anytime soon.)
It's midnight, I really got derailed. Here's the start of a story inspired by the full moon and buddy cop movies.

Tonight at 8:35pm WDC time the full moon rises. Hopefully between all the lunacy, I'll find time to write.

This post may or may not have any bearings on my future plans for stories. Haven't decided yet.
When it's full moon...

We had a large thunderstorm move through the area last night. A couple hours before it rolled in and during I noticed a weird sound/feeling. It made me anxious, confused and a little dizzy. The weird thing is if I'm near something that for what ever reason makes a constant sound, it goes away.

The feeling/pressure/sound is still present and gets worse outside. I can't escape it. This hasn't happened in a while.


I feel like one of those dogs that goes nuts anytime there's a change in the weather.

Do ghosts pee in toilets? Well either I used ours and forgot to flush hours ago or our ghost is a serial non-flusher! No one had been in the bathroom till I went less than an hour ago. There was something eerie yellow-green in the potty. Lol!

No, don't be silly! Ghosts don't pee! it's the weird homeless person living in the crawlspace...
S 🤦 Author Icon - yes! There's a homeless guy with magical powers of teleportation in our crawl space! I knew it!
S 🤦 Author Icon - dude I'm gonna take that and write about it now!
Almost done building my Fantasy novel's world but now I'm worried about art imitating life...hopefully when I move on to character creating things will leap into the ether so to speak.
