I think I mentioned this in the last newsletter. I might not have. That was in March and I&#8217;ve had two Sabbats between&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Right &#8211; HAPPY BELTAINE! We had ritual and dinner cooked by the students on Saturday, followed by a bel-fire that almost rivaled that of &#8217;02. Dobhailen had a lot of scrap in the backyard that needed to be gone, so we burnt it. Including the dining room chairs from my mother&#8217;s old set &#8211; no, they weren&#8217;t anything fancy. They were everything cheap, is what they were. And broken, so they made a good bit of flame. Of the three students, Dobhailen is the only one with his own home as the other two are&#8230;well, minors. \ud83d\ude09 It just seemed right, besides being timely, that we have the bel-fire at his house.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, back on track. The Courting Morpheus offer in conjunction with the Apex Lifetime Subscription Sale is now off the table. Jason announced this morning that there had been <em>ten<\/em> purchases so far, so I&#8217;m thrilled to say that those five copies are now spoken for. Maybe this calls for another CM temptation&#8230; Must ponder that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had some interesting stuff come up by email, private messaging and more recently, blog comments. Let me reiterate. Comments are moderated. <em>ALL<\/em> comments, not just unregistered schmuck spam posters, but also members. Even my own comments are flagged in many cases. While I can pick and choose those that I decide to go through to the site, I will allow most of &#8217;em. Sometimes people with inferiority complexes coupled with delusions of persecution comment, involving others&#8230; those comments are vetted through the others involved, for sure. They are absolutely screen-capped, and saved with all the other screen-caps, along with the ISP address of said poster.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, for those of you who don&#8217;t already know this (and that would be any new people, or the really, really stupid) I am a bitch. If you <em>call<\/em> me a bitch, I feel I&#8217;ve done my job for the day and I get a warm-fuzzy. I don&#8217;t consider it an insult. In fact, for nearly ten years, one of my personalities has been named bitch in some form or another. When I can get &#8217;em, I&#8217;m gonna get personalized license plates with bitch on &#8217;em. You just can&#8217;t bother me with something as un-imaginary as calling me a bitch. I mean, come on&#8230; try something a little more colorful. You never know, I may develop a lurve for what you call me, and drop the bitch part!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiya folks,<br \/>\nMy newsletter is late this month, partly because life has been extremely busy (five new titles accepted to the LBF 09 lineup!) and partly because I&#8217;m doing the double-issue .pdf version this time around.
