Emily’s NEW positivity and being nice to each other thread

That'd be like sending a note to your kidnapper thanking them for keeping you away from your drug dealer.
Lesser of two evils! Plus, you probably got a free ride out of the kidnapper, and it's nice to explore new locked basements from time to time. Variety is the spice of life!
 
Get up, Get down, (Pop, pop, pop muzik), (Pop, pop, pop muzik), Radio, video, Boogie with a suitcase, You're livin' in a disco, Forget about the rat race, Let's do the milkshake, Sellin' like a hotcake, Try some, buy some
Fee-fi-fo-fum
My 7 year old daughter has started to discover pop music, bless her. My wife just bought her some headphones, bless her even more. That's what I call positivity.

Now that takes me back...
 
Young man- “Hey Dad, I want to move in with a group of female friends I met while I’m at college. Is that okay?”

Dad- “Sure, kid, just try to time carefully when you knock one of them up. That’s how I met your mother.”
 
Never caught it. Advantage of working from home. However, Jo doesn't, and she hasn't gotten it either. Knocking on wood.
Also have never had it. I got the first two Covid vaccines but none of the boosters. The advantage of spending a lot of time at home and wearing a mask when I went out. BTW medical research has proven that social distancing is more effective than knocking on wood.
 
It doesn't take much; a smile, a hello..

For the last five years, any time I buy coffee (and it happens about 2x a week), I leave anywhere between a $20-$50 bill and instruct the cashier/barista to cover the next few drinks. I never stay, I don't look back, I just leave.

I might glance over my shoulders as I walk back across the street to my office but only because a small part of me feels the money might be pocketed instead of used for its intended purpose.
Caffè sospeso ;)

If it is pocketed by the barista, they probably needed it. Either way, you have helped in a small way. 💗
 
Um, I find it hard to fuck and social distance at the same time.

This thread (or actually its now departed precursor) was intended to be - amongst other things - a place to commend other author’s work.

In that spirit, can I give a shout out to @EStaccato and her debut work, Nothing.

Hot as fuck, until it twists a knife in your guts. Heartfelt and capturing real emotions.

Mary? That's a Great Dane. It's still funny because Great Danes are known for being stoic in the face of chaos. The only flaw in the commercial is the Great Dane would have been the one straddling the walker and licking her face. Maybe that was how it was originally scripted but the trainer couldn't get it to cooperate.

Few days ago I took a picture of a Great Dane/Poodle.
 
Do you use root or stem ginger for that? Looks fabulous.

Definitely time for autumnal recipes. I've just made my first stew of the year. I might make sage dumplings in it tomorrow.
I know it's ginger root and he used Alton Brown's recipe. As to uses, triple ginger cookies, the brine for Thanksgiving turkey, also in the cranberry sauce, plus it's great nibble it's own (careful, more than two tabs and you might have visions).
My apologies to EmilyMiller for highjacking this thread. I was only sharing the wonders of aroma therapy. What can I say? I married a foodie. 🙄
 
I've been toying (haha) with an idea for a story where an AI becomes self aware but principally confines itself to controlling people's bluetooth sex toys and blackmailing them into wearing them more often lest it divulge their proclivities to the public. Haven't quite found the right approach yet, though.
And the reason the AI is a perv and not a world-conquering monster is because, being trained on an internet that is riddled with porn, how could it turn out other than as a hot mess?
