It’s easy to criticise the manager’s decision after the team has already lost I think “we are pregnant” clinches it due to the smugness. I should note, however, that after The Uprising, use of all of these phrases will be punishable by death.
I will never again be in a relationship where either person stops being an “I”. It’s unhealthy to de-individualise yourself like that.
Actually, you're not far off. If you read about the demise of the Red Cars (LA's streetcars) and about the history of public transportation in L.A. (we once had an excellent transportation system before the freeway system, including a subway, streetcars, and buses), that's similar to what happened. The automobile industry and the Automobile Club of Southern California (AAA to the rest of the nation) put a lot of money into electing public officials who vowed to make L.A. an automobile city, in order to make real estate values skyrocket. Firestone tires even bought one of the bus lines, then eventually dissolved it in favor of cars. I remember a cache of archives being discovered in the 90's that backed up a lot of this. (The Wikipedia entry for red cars is currently pretty sanitized. It tends to go back and forth whenever someone raises a proposal to bring the Red Cars back and people dig in their political heels.)
I bought over £10's worth of some posh chocolate early this week which I had (sort of) vowed would last me at least a month. Sadly due to the heatwave currently hitting the UK I had to eat the entire bag today, since the lady had clearly said the chocolate was too delicate to be stored in the fridge, and I couldn't just watch it melt without doing anything. Again because of this heat another day I had planned to spend writing ended up being a day of doing not much. It's becoming clear to me that the elements have aligned themselves against my progress in general, rather than the issue being related to my behaviour requiring some adjustment.
I can't overly comment as I've not been here long, but I honestly would have thought it would be a hive buzzing with activity. Clearly not enough people getting involved in feedback and engagement, and given it's a writing forum, thats somewhat criminal to me.
In the US, this is what you in the UK would call Summer Holiday time. This is our August. So not many people sitting indoors writing or critiquing.
I currently have four or five tabs of works open I want to read and critique. But if you want to do it well, you need time which I haven't really got between my job, private life and own writing. Hopping into the forum to whinge or share funny pictures takes only minutes at a time. A thought through critique takes me an hour minimum.
This just made me I have also been known to "protect" chocolate from the elements. A packet of chocolate biscuits just last week as it happens. I was out, and there was no fridge...so I did what had to be done. It was a difficult task, to say the least!
Pssttt.... Bro... Bro... Iced... man... Iced... Coffee... Iced... Tea.... Iced... my friend, invest in it. LOL.
I don't like coffee, and iced tea sounds like it would be horrible. I drink tea really, really hot. So I don't think I'd like iced tea. Thanks though. Might have to just mainline it. Or open the teabag and snort the leaves.
Iced tea is awesome, sweetened or unsweetened, in my opinion. Don’t knock it till ya try it. Also, I desperately miss the monkey playing with the typewriter. Where did he go? Is he coming back anytime in the near or distant future? And who is the strange man with the hamster hoody? Furthermore, why does he look like he wants to lick something? So many questions without any obvious answers... ... I’m kidding. Like the new avatar, even if I miss the old one
Hm, ok. Maybe I’ll try it. I have no idea where I’d get it though. Or do you make it? Is it just, like, cold tea with ice in it? And do you still put milk in the tea? Hah, I didn’t know he’d made such an impact Fear not, he’s safe on my desktop. He’ll probably come back soon. His name is Adam. He’s from a clothing range called Bono Bear. It’s a thing in a part of the gay community. I like bears No comment Thanks! And don’t worry, the monkey will probably be back some time
