I'm cheating.

But it's not just me!  Dynamaso is doing it too!

We are posting various and sundry writings at abctales.com.

This is a British writer's site, so lots of "pissing myself" and other expressions I have to research to understand.  Heh.

BUT...generally this is how it works.

You sign up for an account.  It's free.

Then you post your stories, poems, whatever.

The editors choose the best selections of the day and give them...]]>http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/312230http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/312230Fri, 16 May 2008 01:01:54 -04002008-05-16T05:01:54Tova7http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/311581
This is a point of contention between my husband and me.

This morning for instance.

I took my 5 year old to Target to buy a birthday gift for a friend.  On our way, I saw a man in his late 50's walking along side the busy road (no sidewalk),  using a cane and carrying a package.

It's not unusual to see people walking and riding their bikes more these days.  I attribute it to the price of gas.  I see several bikes on th...]]>http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/311581http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/311581Fri, 16 May 2008 01:01:54 -04002008-05-16T05:01:54Tova7http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/310912
There is just no other explanation.

Today I took my digital camera, the one with all my photos on it, the one that cost a fortune, the ONLY digital we have, yeah THAT one, out for some photos of our progress on the yard.  To date we have 100 tons of dirt dropped and spread.  I think its way too much, but that's another blog.

So I was on the phone with my aunt and taking pictures with my digital.  I can remember taking the photos, turning to walk t...]]>http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/310912http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/310912Fri, 16 May 2008 01:01:54 -04002008-05-16T05:01:54Tova7http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/310688
I also understand multiple posting is not frowned upon by the admins.

But man oh man, I HATE it when done with blatant, arrogant disregard for other users.  Almost as if TRYING to annoy, living to do it actually.

It's one thing to write several articles about different things in one day...but to take what is essentially a "what I believe" article and ...]]>http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/310688http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/310688Fri, 16 May 2008 01:01:54 -04002008-05-16T05:01:54Tova7http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/310093
Cool.

Lets test it.  Whenever you see a comment by me, hit that thumbs up button...and lets see if my Karma gets any better....hahahahaha.

Don't worry this isn't about that.

We played a game, and I thought it would be a great JUWC challenge, but I am mixing it up a bit.



Below is a list of words.  There is one word for every letter of the alphabet.  Read through the DEFINITIONS first and see if a storyline jumps out at you.....then write a short story, scene, act, whateva...while using every single word.  (Sometimes when I am having writer's block I will open...]]>http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/310022http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/310022Fri, 16 May 2008 01:01:54 -04002008-05-16T05:01:54Tova7http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/309986
I wonder how long it will stay the dollar store with the cost of everything going up.  The Dollar and a Quarter Store just doesn't have the same "It's a Bargain" ring.

I like to get alphabet workbooks, stickers, construction paper, paint, puzzles, all the fun stuff for my 5 year old there.  A while back they carried dinosaur wall stickers.  I painted his wall with a big ugly volcano, some landscape, and stuck those dinosaurs up.&...]]>http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/309986http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/309986Fri, 16 May 2008 01:01:54 -04002008-05-16T05:01:54Tova7http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/309478
At the beginning of warm weather I can't wait to go outside and get my hands in the soil.  There is something precious about greeting my yard and garden as it awakens from a long winter's nap.  I look at each bud, each new leaf, and mark its progress each day.

Two summers ago, I ripped out all the old landscaping.  Our house is 40 years old and the foliage was original.  Lots of those boxy looking green bushes.  So sexy.

Not. ...]]>http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/309478http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/309478Fri, 16 May 2008 01:01:54 -04002008-05-16T05:01:54Tova7http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/308504

2007 Spain banned the ultra thin models from cat walks.

How many times did he cum down to this little place, with a different name, a different suit, and the dumb bitches never recognized him?

He knew the way into the back rooms, but let the dumb bitch think she was doing her job.  What kind of woman worked at a place like this?  He shuddered to think, and not very much made him shudder.

No, not very much at all.

She opened the door for him, l...]]>http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/307894http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/307894Fri, 16 May 2008 01:01:54 -04002008-05-16T05:01:54Tova7http://lifehappens.joeuser.com/article/307732
This is on my mind a lot lately so here it goes...a little back story first, before the meat.

For awhile, over the winter, I stopped writing every day.  In fact, only my time on JU saw my hands in the written word.
