[WARNING: Those blessed/cursed with a dirty mind are going to find this post hee-LARIOUS - but should probably clear the room of innocents first. Remember, Santa is watching, kids.]

 

There's just something about this time of year, am I right? Crackling fires in every fireplace, romantic twinkly lights in all the trees, and of course, skin-tight Santa suits. Yep. This, my friends, is the season... OF LURRRVE.

And a good thing, too. After all, it makes us more giving:

(Step 1: Cut a hole in the box.)

 

More attentive:

"Yes, deer."

 

And even when we're feeling a bit knotty:

[insert 'morning wood' joke here]

... we know this is the time when its better to bury the hatchet, not leave.

 

Yes, it's the season for dropping the underpants of our emotional reticence, and letting the ding-a-ling of our love shine out.

(Oh, it's happy, all right.)

 

I guess what I'm trying to say here, my friends, is that Rudolph has a giant wang on his face:

And you've just gotta love that.

 

Thanks to Sarah L., Nick, Bridget F., Luke, & C for taking a firm upper hand with these rascally wrecks.

P.S. Speaking of things that are dirty, I have to introduce you to the handiest little kitchen gadget for under $8:

Dishwasher "Dirty/Clean" Slider Bar

The whole thing is magnetic, and it also comes with a double-sided adhesive for non-metallic machines. Also comes in black, and there's a prettier cursive option if you don't like the bright red/green!

Read Un-Purse-onable Behavior

I looked around for a different seat, not wanting to start a fight, when an old lady sitting across from the rude woman took the purse, tossed it into the rude woman's lap, and said:
Old Woman: "There you go. Have a seat!"
Me: "Um..." *Sits down.*
Woman: "Hey! Why did you do that?"

Me: "Ma'am, can you repeat that back one more time? I may have missed a digit."
Customer: *Repeats the same exact number.*

Back in 2017, I got a job at a store that sold video games, which I absolutely loved. Important note, I was a twenty-year-old girl at the time, and my manager was an older woman, but the other six people who worked at the store were men. An older woman, in her late 40s or […]

Read Driving By Braille Is A Thing, Apparently

Patient: "Nah. I'm a truck driver, so I need to get my eyes checked every once in a while."
Me: "Oh, well, it's just that your eyesight is about -3.50 in the left… and -8.00 in the right."
Those who wear glasses know that this is bad news.

This was several years ago, as in my youngest is 20 and this happened when he was around 4 or so. We were planning a visit to my stepmother’s for a week’s vacation after my dad had passed away suddenly so that we could spend some time with her and my half siblings. We’d been […]

I sometimes have problems with vasovagel syncope, ie blood and other “gross” stuff can make me pass out. My dad had leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant. I was tested but was only a 60% match, while there was a person on the donor registry. The person on the registry wasn’t going to be […]

I wrote this story. https://notalwaysright.com/the-power-of-cuddles/242462/ If it wasn’t clear from the previous story, I’m a woman. Although my older brother and I have always gotten along well, my older sister and I have never had a good relationship. This takes place a few years after my previous submission. My brother is 12, my sister is […]

I just had a frustrating experience dealing with trying to ship a package to a customer of ours. It went out two days ago, with the expectation of being delivered in the morning. It ended up being returned to us today. As the intended destination was a prison, I wasn’t too surprised – there may […]

and I had to take a car, which I can not afford. At least the corner store hadn’t shut down and the cashier let me wait inside. Either he’s very friendly and chatty or he’s flirting with me, but the important thing is I still have all my toes.

To Write

In my current project, here are the bits I need to write before I am done with this chapter (I have been so close to finishing for two months now; I've just been short on time and mental mana):

  • The political route
    • Finish the conversation with Damithi, which is a three part thing. First, the MC interjects during Damithi's convo with reporters. Then, Damithi and the MC play a game of Truth. Finally, if the MC impresses during the game, Damithi hands over what the MC wants. (If the MC doesn't impress, they get a partial victory instead).

    • Plan and write the conversation with Erim Kyte. This one should be harder than Imaric's, but easier than Damithi's.

    • Plan and write the blackmail scene with Erim's paramour.

  • Plan and write the council meeting and the vote on Feylon's plan. At some point during this meeting, I need a good enough cliffhanger to entice readers to buy the book. That cliffhanger will likely be the announcement of the vote results.

  • Double-check my logic to make sure everything is resolved correctly.

  • Test for errors

It both is and isn't a lot. I just need to sit down and write.
