I know that the Bigcloset it was having some Technical difficulties over the weekend, Ddos attacks? Now when the first home you visit the website you get the message am I a robot prompt and have to click the button to proceed. The problem is Older computers and tablets that don't have up-to-date browsers simply want to be able to visit this site anymore. As for me, I prefer the Internet Explorer as it works better with my text reader so I can enjoy this website.

And although I know my spouse will never see this post, I simply wanted everyone to know how much she has meant to me over the past several decades. Tomorrow will be our 40th anniversary, which is probably about 39 years longer than I expected our marriage to last, lol.

Just a quick comment about one of my pet peeves……

My spouse is a huge NY Yankees fan, which can be veeeeeery annoying, lol. Especially since our local cable tv provider carries the YES Network (Yankee Entertainment System), which means that EVERY SINGLE YANKEE GAME FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON IS ON TV, and she has to watch all of them.

Now I have nothing against sports in general, or baseball specifically - but it is very annoying when for basically half of the year she has to watch a baseball game every day! Especially since I am a Dodger fan, and she is watching the damned Yankees!

Sudden issues reading on Fictionmania.com……..

I have been re-reading a group of my favorite stories recently, including Clara’s works on Fictionmania.

Last night, when I finished part five of “Kiss Me Bianca”, closed it, and went to open part six, I suddenly received an error message, which read as follows:

429 Too Many Requests
If you're a human being, try again tomorrow
If you're a bot, go to Hell and stay there!

I am still not able to access anything beyond the entry page at Fictionmania. Anyone else having this issue?

Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Or why I am getting it?

A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

Prohibiting transgender people from owning firearms, their justification being that supposedly, “Statistically, the trans population has been prone to violence.” White House Senior Director for Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka made similar remarks: "In just a couple of years, we have seen seven mass shootings involving people of transgender nature or who are confused in their gender. Seven in just the last couple of years. That is inordinately high."

Let’s look at real facts here:

But isn’t it ironic that in 2023 when Charlie Kirk was asked whether he thought his right to own a gun was more important than school children being shot and killed he responded, “I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.“

I'm sorry to be writing about Trump again, but I just need to flush this toxic man from my mind. I just read that his administration is trying to find a way to move all federal prisoners that are trans, into prisons of their birth gender. Add to this he wants to disarm us, you would think he is trying to kill all trans people. My first thought was, well I don't own firearms and I'm not a criminal so this doesn't apply to me, but Trump will not stop there, next he will probably start deporting trans people to friendly Islamic countries.

I subscribe to Bookbub a free service that sends me a daily email with bargains on ebooks based on broad categories I picked. Most of the time there are a couple of free books on a subject I like.

Today, one of the free books is geared to help authors in writing and avoiding some common pitfalls. The book’s title is “Dear Writer, You’re Doing It Wrong” it is by Becca Syme and I thought it might be something that might prove useful. The book is currently offered for free by Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple Books and Kobo for a limited time.

Anyway, I hope this helps you!

I don't know. Maybe I'm depressed or maybe just tired. I have three stories going as Works In Progress. In each case, when I reach a point where I needed to work out how to reach the next plot point I usually put that to the back of my mind to let my subconscious work it out. So as to keep the creative juices flowing I then pick up one of the other stories and find that my subconscious has a handle on how to proceed. I've been making great progress on all three stories

Dr. Shannon Joslin, a biologist and bat researcher who has passionately worked at Yosemite for years as an employee of the National Park Service, was recently terminated by the Trump administration. On their own free time, SJ and six others climbed El Capitan in Yosemite and took part in a tradition of hanging a flag at the top. Hanging flags off El Capitan has occurred in the past without consequences. In February, demonstrators hung an upside-down U.S. flag, often symbolizing a distress call, on El Capitan to draw attention to the mass firings by the Trump administration.

While reading the newspaper today I came upon an article detailing how the state of Oklahoma is now requiring teacher applicants from both New York and California who are looking to get a job teaching in Oklahoma to pass a loyalty test. The test is produced by PragerU, an Oklahoma based conservative non-profit which is becoming well known for posting ultra-conservative and religiously based teaching materials on-line.

Here is the link to the article:

One of my daughters-in-law is finally about to make my spouse and I grandparents for the first time this October. We (my spouse and I) are putting a baby shower on for her this Saturday, and have been putting a lot of effort into getting ready over the past several weeks. Tomorrow is a day for some final prep work, including finalizing some of the food, and then hopefully relax until Friday evening.

It seems to me, of late we've acquired several new authors. At least there's a number of authors whose names I'm not familiar with posting stories. Some of them are quite prolific. Unfortunately, for me, only one of them consistently posts stories that scratch my itch. :o(

This was posted on X. I just think it's nice that someone is taking positively about us.

Actor Alan Cumming guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel's show and declared "trans people" are superheroes, launching into a rant that dysphoric men should be allowed to use women's bathrooms and the U.S.A. "treats rapists better than trans people."

"Superhero movies are only pretend, but I happen to believe that there are actual superheroes in real life who walk among us, and these superheroes are called trans people.”

I'm determined to finish some of the stories in my bone pile. To that end, I've been working on one that I call "Extra Credit" about a young man will graduate middle school in June. The hang up is he's not been doing his homework and his social studies teacher counts homework and 50% of the grade. He gets A's and B's on his tests, but his fall term for the class is a D. His mother wants to enroll him in a top tier prep school. But with that grade pulling his GPA down he'll never be accepted.
