  • 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?

    (double agent…very naughty…😆)

    one of the GOOD spiders you want around because they eat all the really bad bugs in the house. We put them outside :)

    @Lucy ... don't know if you really want wolf spiders in your home... I'd go for jumping spiders, they can't bite... wolf spiders are the fast movers, and they can bite.

    ((Will lose my ACP internet towards the end of the month, unless anyone knows about it ending sooner. Trying to switch my Lifeline phone to a better provider that doesn't shut me off after four and a half gigs of data, nothing but failure so far and "call here" and "it's on their end" and the back and forth crap... in the morning, it's time to demand the supervisor and might even get to harsh language (after three days of that). I plan to use the Lifeline phone tethered as Internet source, share that to my own router... I've done it before (it's messy, and not 100% effective, but it works). ))

    ((The 'net is the main way to apply for jobs now, so I need that, and I've moved/changed Lifeline providers before without an issue, so no idea what the problem is. I have active Verizon through ACP, active Lifeline through Airtalk... is that somehow the issue? If anyone knows, please let me know before I tear someone a new one (ya know what I mean). After three days of this, and two days about a month ago, I'm ready to walk there with katana in hand.))
