After one declination and a re-write, Associated Content chose to publish my response to a Cyber-Bully. As the bully chose that (among others) venue to attack my friends and myself, I chose to respond there.
Should he surface here again, I will not allow his comments nor his presence. Not to worry, dear readers!
Response to Cyber-Bully

I hate winter, I hate that the school division set such a ridiculous temperature level for closure, and I hate the new dashboard.
They won’t close the school unless it’s -45. It’s -41 now, and it’s supposed to get to -45 by the time school closes. Care has to walk, granted it’s not far at about a half-mile, but still. It’s fucking cold. I hope she’s found her thermals… (checking..yes, she did) but thankfully Rhia gets picked up by a bus. She’d freeze solid by the time she made it …

I believe this current cold snap is a result of my snickering at Bret and Alethea and a handful of others down south. See, they had snow in places that rarely, if ever, have any. I lol’d in their comments sections. I actually emailed one pagan friend from down Texas, an email consisting of nothing more than HA HA HA HA!
I didn’t sympathize.
Maybe I should have. The heaters in my house have been running non-stop for at least this last hour that I’ve been awake, and probably longer than …

As mentioned earlier, I’ll be doing an interview and review series via Associated Content. I realized that a lot of the review materials I’d been sent or bought are now pushing two years old, and while I’ve read the majority of them (mostly during July) I’ve yet to get the reviews done. There are probably a good thirty five books on that pile, could be more if I include all of the books I’ve bought in the last year, plus those I’ve taken out of the library.
I also realized that …

Tell me what to do – come on, you know you want to. In seven days, I’m all about posting content to my AC area, so what do you want to see?
I’ve also got a Christmas story, somewhere, that I want to post there. I’ll probably do that this weekend, although I’ve been stuck in the ‘evaluation’ queue for quite some time with my last…er…article. More of a response to a bully, really, than an article.
Anyhoo. What’s it to be? Writing tips? Guinea Pigs? Alternative healing (articles and/or course), Reiki …

Pin-up icon and gorgeous babe Bettie Page has passed away at age 85.
I always found Page far more alluring as a woman than Monroe, Diana Barrymore or even Jayne Mansfield… perhaps it was her trademark look, her attitude, or more likely – it was the look of mischief in her eyes. The others were raw sex appeal… Page was the epitome of dangerous sex appeal. More often than not, the feminine antagonists in my dark romance/paranormal romance all have a physical resemblance to her…

Godspeed, rest in peace.

This would be why no one should sneak into someone else’s house dressed as Santa Claus. Care’s favorite Christmas song as of last year. Needless to say, this disturbed my mother, when Care sang it, word for word (and with sound effects, too) at one of the family dinners. This year, when it’s time for us to leave her house, I’m going to have Care sing it. Again. With actions to go with the lyrics and sound effects.
My mother has lost her sense of humor in the last fifteen years. …
