What Made You Smile Today?

[Ian]

It wasn't THAT sort of dream. Alas.

My second erotic horror novella "Whisper In Your Ear" has been published by Andrews UK Ltd:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008XLX6TA

"Young policewoman Kathryn Jameson is on holiday in the United States when she finds herself stranded in Farnham, a near abandoned “ghost town” where the one and only primary school teacher has just been brutally murdered. Kathryn soon makes the acquaintance of Mena Birch, a sexy, flirtatious young lesbian who is not exactly backwards about coming forwards and who makes her attraction to and interest in Kathryn only too clear. Dragged into the murder investigation, Kathryn soon realises all the clues point to Brian Lennane, one of the pupils of the murdered teacher... but could an eight year old really do that to a grown man?
As Kathryn and Mena’s relationship grows closer and the case gets even stranger, Kathryn will find her beliefs, her sexuality and her life on the line... because in this town the boogieman is more than just a story and there is a very good reason to be frightened of what’s under the bed..."



(I'm not entirely sure I approve of the cover, mind. Aside from the fact that neither of the two central female characters are blonde, it doesn't really give the right impression. While there is certainly some - ahem - 'hot' content - it's really much more of a horror/love story than smut.

You don't get any say in the presentation, Ian? Hmmm. It does look a bit cheesy TBH.

What made me smile today was when, after a bad start this morning [blood in the bog, for the second time {yes, back to the GP tomorrow } then this PC's power supply blows up SPUT!!, then a glass falls and breaks into vicious shards at my feet, all inside five minutes] - I swapped the case, PSU and drives, and it all started up as usual. Phew!

Could easily have been looking at a complete rebuild, or worse, a new PC that I can't afford...

Get a grip. Not so unusuaL. No need for panic. Your body is telling you something, thats all. Be kinder to me. It says.

[DMt.]

They've got me on quite a lot of Warfarin for thromboses in my calves [caused by a Factor 5 Leiden genetic blood clotting disorder plus, possibly, too much sitting in front of a PC], so It's probably causing internal bleeding. Either way it needs addressing.

Do I sound like I'm panicking? I've been on extra time ever since a major pulmonary thrombosis in 2003, when the F5L was diagnosed. I've had plenty of time to get used to the idea that the next one might be a coronary or stroke instead; and the reason it hasn't happened [yet] may well be that I actually do take reasonable care of my body, mostly, and keep a slightly elevated blood/alcohol level too.

So get a grip yourself.

I'm glad you can smile with all that Dave.

Just try to take the best care of yourself that's possible.

[DMt.]

Cheers M. Poisson! I made my peace with these issues years ago, and it does make life more precious when you realise you're not actually immortal [physically].

Currently bouncing between GP and anticoag clinic, back to GP 4:20 this afternoon for Gastro referral, presumably - not going until Monday tho [unless I gets even leakier ], bugger twiddling my thumbs all weekend in a hospital!

I only bring it up so that, if it does all go sideways, you know I hadn't just lost interest.

Perhaps thats what Wolfchild told everyone about you on wti

Seriously Dave, no offense meant. Just trying to cheer you up in my klutzy way. Hope all goes well for you. You have breathed new life into this forum, for which we give thanks, and hope you will be around for many more years to come..

[DMt.]

It's ok snappia, we must be who we are, and God, it must be awful to 'open mouth and insert foot', as they say.

I'm so glad that sort of thing never ever Ever happens to me.

What she said.
And never be afraid of a little "foot-in-mouth" disease. That sounds like the least of your worries.

That FA book arrived yesterday. Not read it yet though; saving it for the trip in a fortnight.

[Dahls]

Be sure to give us your opinions on the book, Ian. Im very tempted to order it myself, might just do that today


This nice little short film made my day

Very encouraging clip Dahls Till one has taste to jump up and something huge to prove. This also has a good length, just right.

[snaps]

This is especially for katka. She'll know what I mean A close-up of YOHIO, Swedish, just turned seventeen, wonderboy guitarist and co-vocalist with Seremedy, taken two days ago. His solo performance was the opening act on the Rainbow stage at ''Summer Sonic'' in Tokyo, the World's largest most diverse rock music festival, including New Order, Green Day, Rhianna, Coldplay, Stone Roses etc etc etc.

In two years time, YOHIO and Seremedy will be a headline act. You heard that first ON HERE!

[katka]

thank you for the explanation this group seems quite successful

The very high temperatures of 36 celcius today in the south of the Netherlands... That's even higher than the average in the Dutch Caribbean which I will be visiting really soon.
