The AH Coffee Shop and Reading Room 09

[Rustyoznail]

Today is a holiday to celebrate our local religion - the football Grand Final. Don't ask, a politician decided it was a vote winner.

Combined with school holidays all our local restaurants are packed. Dinner was pizza that we had to wait an hour for.

My exact thought when it popped up on the screen.

What happened to the PB bunnies? I was still trying to make up my mind between #2 and #4.

Oops. Never mind. Other thread. Still can't decide. Oh. OK. I can have both. Mmmm.

Oh fair maiden, while we wouldst dearly enjoyeth p'rusing the gifts our l'rd god hast given thee, t'is most unbecoming f'r a gentleman to asketh.

Prithee enjoyeth the fair.

Thanketh kind sir

 

[DarkRaven13]

Good morning all. And mmmmm coffee is on I see.

The bunnies are on a BUS! ... The only one that can see them is the photographer! Parades have really gone to hell

Thanks for the coffee Tx, it's really good but it just doesn't have that radiological kick to get you going that it had in the old room

Great. I have found my instant coffee muck and I can leave the good stuff to those who can appreciate it.

This week has been expensive - two cars for annual roadworthiness checks, three blown double-glazed windows replaced, annual car insurance, and I'm going away from Monday to Friday next week and eating out twice a day.

To add to the financial confusion I am changing bank accounts because the old bank has closed its local branch. It has taken three weeks to arrange and will happen next Tuesday when I'm away so my old debit card will be defunct and my new one won't have arrived before I go away.

Thank goodness for credit cards!

Duleigh, go have a seat on the commode in the basement. Enough of that old radiated coffee has been pour down there to power most of the city. Sit down and take a deep breath. You'll get radiated from your bottom up.

Keep an eye on your dick, when it starts to glow green you've had too much. See the Japanese girl on the second floor. She has a cream that will cure anything.

If you accidentally come, she uses that to make high intensity glow stick but they only glow in the presents of women.

I get it, you're trying to distract me by promising me good time... that old trick always works.

Who still goes to watch a parade in the street? Everyone is following on instagram now.

I amble quietly to my corner table and plug the laptop power cord into the socket. The place is newly renovated and still seems very pleasant.

"Morning all!"

The sound echoes off the bare walls and the coffee machine burbles away. I decide I need to provide wall decorations in the form of meme-type coffee posters...

Carmel Creme with a splash of vanilla, a piece of toast, cream cheese, and scrambled eggs. Breakfast in bed after being allowed to sleep in while the working wife takes care of Donnie ... priceless. I wish Jo could take every Friday off! Now to conquer the world!

Good Morning Gang! Amazing, I got to say that before noon!

 

[TxRad]

Lunch time coffee is now available.

Breakfast was Cinnamon Rolls. I haven't even thought about lunch yet.

Millie the lucky lady.

[Omenainen]

Aww, MrPixel, so sorry for your loss. That looks like one fine doggo.

I like what y’all have done with the place. But come on, I turn my back for a day… okay, well maybe a week.. or… well anyways, found you. I’ll have a cuppa to see how the new equipment works.

I am sorry to hear this too. He will be waiting for you on the other side of the rainbow bridge .

I am so very sorry nevertheless.

An unfortunate milestone in my writing career - my first story sendback. Of course, there's no clue as to what the problem was, but I think I know what it might be - the naked game of tag in base housing in Grand Forks AFB? probably not. The sudden switch from Osan Air Base Korea to the dorms of the University of Georgia for a little Lesbian refresher? no, not that either. Could it be the accurate an real-life description of what happens to the human body when caught in the jet blast of an F-15? Yeaaaah, that's probably it.

Secretary, take a note. Let my dozen of fans know that I finally came up with an excuse why the second Halloween story will be late. We're going to re-write We're a Wonderful Wife Chapter 7 and change a tragic true to life accident that the entire story depends on to a paper cut at a seven-year-old's tea party. We know how much one of those stings.

Why not just cut out the description and leave it to the reader's imagination?

I wouldn't think, unless the graphics of the description are puke-inducing, that'd be the issue. Might you have made some simple mistake in age on a participant? 13 rather than 31, or 12 instead of 21? Those will get shot back to the sent back folder quicker than a whores dream client.

There was none of that, no ages were mentioned and there was no one young enough to be underage. It was an accurate description. I took several actual jet blast accidents and combined them into one horrible event, with descriptions of what happened when the folks got "Rag Dolled" across the ramp and slammed into pointy things. It was probably that one guy who got crushed inside a collapsed step-van, or the guy who was too close and got roasted.

Like Terry Pratchett said, build a man a fire and you'll warm him for a night
Set a man on fire and you'll warm him for the rest of his life

That's what I'm doing, which often makes it worse

It's odd that you'd get it back with no indication of the reason. There's usually at least a generalized statement of the problem.

This was one of your Halloween 2022 submissions? How long between the time you sent it in and when you had it sent back? I would hope it was just a matter of a few days at most...or that could put a story in jepeody of being submitted late.

I hope you can get it fixed quicker than you expect.

You were right Millie! I was totally, utterly wrong, and I apologize. There was actually a note, after all that editing the gross stuff out, I found the note. I used the expression "Innocent as a six-year-old" and guess what they thought. I apologize again.

Oh well, two clicks and the gross stuff is back in! I love Microsoft Word, it's my favorite computer game!

No, it's the lead-up to my Christmas story... why else would I have death and mayhem, people being burned alive and torn apart? (seriously, it is the lead up)
