  • Sorry to be MIA for so long. I’m working on chapters. As I worked on the ending I realized I don’t necessarily want to confirm a biological connection between Claire and Carmen. We obviously never get canonical confirmation that she’s related to Avalon, so technically test would need to be done to confirm. I thought I’d use it as a plot point but I think it’s more interesting to leave it vague.

    Both characters are so emotionally stilted and suspicious, so I like the idea of them dancing around the truth because a confirmation feels too intimate but debunking a relationship feels too heartbreaking. So keeping things in limbo is more comfortable for both. I think I’ll end it with Carmen either leaving lab results or dna for Claire, but no actual answers.

    I agree with you there, because I've figure you were brainstorming like I do, Claire.
    It's been one week since we had to help my sweet cat Mable leave this world after 16.5 years. I've never known grief like this.

    Since my last post, mom went a picked up our lil girl's ashes. A nice ill bag in a very nice box with her name on it. But I may look for another box that I can put a photo on, instead. Its especially 💔when you've had your cat from the time they were a kitten. But our family & friends 💓 her, too. 🙂

    I feel the same way, I got Mable as a kitten. Her urn is a lovey wood box with her name but I often end up carrying the urn around with me and even falling asleep holding it, so I might look for something without such sharp edges. Although maybe I shouldn’t be enabling myself…

    @Claire Avalon. Whatever is helping you cope is totally OK to do. Maybe some kind of plastic box with a lid, labeled, if you are afraid of dropping/spilling it. It's had been weeks and I sill expect to see her in one of her little beds or eating food. And the other cats won't sleep in her beds either.
    Hey everyone, I know I’ve been gone a while. Life has been a lot…anyway I hope for those of us in the US that everyone is feeling okay? I don’t want to assume we are all of the same opinions on current issues which is why this is a status and not a chat. Anyway if you are grieving and scared I’m right there with you. And thanks to this place for being the perfect escape for so many of us:)
    Well last week was a lot, my husband had a very sudden unexpected death in the family and I was stuck home alone with my 15 year old cat who just got out of the hospital, she had her forth stroke while my husband was out of town because of course…the vet bills are ungodly…here’s hoping bad things don’t come in threes and I can actually do some writing this week.
    I think I’ve written myself into a corner when not being officially a member of acme or vile is a plot device but to get privileges I have to apply to one side or another…whoops.

    Did you have to have anything special happen with your profile for that? Since usually wherever you apply gets put on your profile?

    @Tenchi Masaki Out of curiosity, do you know if it's worth it to rent out GPU/CPU time on a rig like mine... Threadripper 3960X with a Titan X, 32Gigs RAM (for now... hope for more RAM someday)
    If people are willing to pay then yes it is

Kat also said she was going to clean out the 9th floor. Bruce let Hines know about it " That was told to me by ma a couple hours ago... I don't really care who knows my last name. I'm not one to drag into something, I tend to destroy everything.))

    Hey @Tenchi Masaki btw I did save my password after my last bout of computer trouble. This time however I saved the wrong password so. As for Jon Eckart, I DO use Chrome browser the problem is when we I get on another computer the passwords aren't stored. That's my current problem. So I'm either gonna make a new account or figure something out 'cause I'm not bothering boss man :D :D

    ((So... latest is... Google Drive: Sign-in <-- the appeal hearing (they didn't know I was recording) (I'll run it through some filters and see if I can clean it up) They/we have a tour of a potential place Thrusday at 1PM-ish like a block away... but there's no laundry (far as I know)... you can find it, 512 1/2 St. Germain St., St. Cloud Little tidbits... I brought up that if they're going after the folks, what about the (roughly) half of the rest of the bulding who all smoke in the building. ))

If it goes bad way, we're planning for what to send down to my place (the paintings and the movie collection and stuff, not to mention the rest of the records). They have to wait up to 10 days to see what the "appeal officer" says... but they might have something being that they were never caught smoking, it was just that there was smoke smelled near their door ))

Moving stuff in is gonna be a struggle (wall outside main door is like a 60-degree angle)... big desk (mine), big entertainment center (the folks), "things" are gonna be weird (no privacy). The folks want it (gas stove in an apartment, claw-foot bathtub)... not all of our stuff comes apart nicely))
