Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

grrr...speakin’ of slow...Mrs. pay hasn’t hit fer the day (it usually has by now) and the insurance agent won’t call me back and give me an offer. How’m I sposed to yell at ‘em for more money if’n they don’t call?

[TalonDJ]

How exactly do you add folks? I have looked all over and can’t seem to find where you can look up other peoples profiles or search usernames. I remember it being obscure last year but don’t recall where it was. My user name is the same by the way.

[Lil'freeper]

That's our Stinky...

Amen and good news indeed!

[Lil'freeper]

I have a feeling that a g’nad that is feeling a little too great would be a real pain in the butt for the nurses to manage...

Nothing a box fan couldn't take care of, right 2J?

[Lil'freeper]

go to their profile page. “add as a buddy” is an option that appears in the menu below the author pic.

[HairOfTheDog]

Lets just hope he doesn’t waterboard them for not answering the buzzer. ;~)

[TalonDJ]

OOps, hmm now I have two profiles...

[TalonDJ]

yes, the ‘add buddy’ button is pretty clear, got that. The ‘go to their profile page’ part is the one I could not figure out.

[Lil'freeper]

which profile are you now?

[Lil'freeper]

It used to be easier to search for people. But I think that is one of the features they disabled due to performance issues.

[TalonDJ]

Actually I am Azbel. And on him I already had lots of buddies from before. I was just stuck on an old login that I never actually used that had no buddies. Had to dig Jen up in the forum to get a like to user profiles. grrr. annoying.

[Lil'freeper]

Yes it is annoying. Another thing I miss is the day-to-day charting of your progress. It was kind of fun to think about what kind of function would fit my writing curve. But that’s just me being strange.

[JenB]

It would have taken calculus to figure that one out :)

[Lil'freeper]

The way my last year went, a step function would have covered it, too. :)

Ok, I finished up a scene and now I'm off to the store.

[g'nad]

Tomorrow...they are sending him home tomorrow!!!good thing too...he didn't get any sleep last night.

Just read your excerpt.

Oh, and there will be machine guns and snogging.

I posted part of mine, though I'm a bit embarrassed by it. This year is definitely outside my comfort zone in bits, although there's a happy ending and I'm not really condoning the bad stuff or writing anything graphic (well...except for a small amount of violence). Gotta have some of that stuff in order for there to be redemption, but even so...

[RosieCotton]

Yay!!

Incredible! Wonderful news!! OB & LSA
