The AH Coffee Shop and Reading Room 09

Slept in today, wife took care of Donnie until I crawled out of bed. I made her late for work; I feel bad about that. But she says, "No biggie, I'm the boss." Yes, but I'm now 5 hours behind on what I was going to do. I need a shot of, I mean, a mug of Irish—coffee, not the booze.
The Irish coffee (wink, wink) is in the coffee pot with the green rim ...
 
I had a co-worker once who was completely color blind. Truly monochromatic vision. He had been told that the decaf was the orange coffee. At some point, he realized that if the coffee wasn't orange flavored didn't mean it was caffeinated. He complained bitterly for a week or two that he had been trying to figure out why half the days, the coffee didn't wake him up.
 
Safest bet in that situation, half a cup from one, half a cup from the other. Half Caf then for sure.

My Winter Holiday story got approved pretty quickly. Seems like the winter contest entries are benefiting from all that good karma that @sirhugs has been getting for us with his diligent care and feeding of the plot bunnies.
Winter stories are up???

Well, there's another deadline gone in a sea of boxes. :(

They're being approved pretty quickly today, not going up until the 11th though.

The window hasn't even officially opened yet. There were just a batch of early submissions, and I joined them. The contest runs for about a month, so there's time to get one in. If you need help, let us know :)

Ok, thanks for volunteering. Now, can you please wrap the "good china for special occasions only" in newspaper and place them in that tea chest. Same with the glasses. Oh, and the old rug the pup has trashed needs to be taken to the tip...

Many hands and all that. 😊

Shows up totally drunk listening to "Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit a little too loud in her headphones.

"Let's handle some delicate china and glasses! WOOOHOOO!!!"

watch out that you don't trip over any feral plot bunnies- I know Rusty said he was leaving them behind, but they might just be lurking until they can stow away.

Well, I have this story which needs some help with the plot. And also with the characters, now that I think of it. I haven't figured out a good opening, either. Actually, what I've got is a blank page. But since you're offering... ;)

No problem! Would you like a story that centers around cupcakes or bagpipes?
why not cupcakes AND bagpipes... like the one where they are selling cupcakes to fund the babpike band's upcoming tour, and one bright lass has a brilliant idea (suggested by a plot bunny no doubt) that selling sex would raise a lort more moey a lot more quickly.

Or a calendar of scotsman mostly in their kilts.
 
On another topic, I was having my mac read my latest story to me. They massively improved the read aloud AI in Tahoe! The best reason I have found so far for having upgraded. This one is almost listenable as audio story. And it doesn't say the html tags like the old one did.
