Oh wow!! Congratulations!

I felt that way about the Saucony Cohesion 10 running shoes. When I heard a new version was coming out, I bought two pairs of the 10 version to hold off on the new ones, because anytime a shoe gets an update they always make it worse. I was right. I've hated every update since. They're now on 18.

Me too!

😆 YES!!!

Crazy by Icehouse from my younger years.

Wonderful Love by Creeper Lagoon once I was into my adulthood.

Wow! Great song! Never heard of the band until now!

It's like, are you so void of love and compassion that you would just dump your pet in a ditch or a field???

People suck!!

I just saw a local advertisement for 25% off pork shoulder butt. Literally, that's how it was presented.

Shoulder butt! 😆

Little tiny farty shoulder butts! 💨

I hope you find your peeps!

Yes! It was so bad I thought my head was going to fly off at one point!

Stomach flu is not for the faint of heart.

I'm on the other side of it now, but holy moly that was brutal! 🤢

I think I'd rather have 40 story rejections in a row than the stomach flu!

*owe

Oh no!!!

The elderly already have it so hard and make so little money. It's ridiculous that they have to pay to get their taxes done where they will own less than (or nothing) than what it cost to file the return!!

Google maps does not have record of 3342 Emily Dr. Columbia, SC. It does have an Emily Ln with two houses on that street... 104 and 108

F*cking grifters.

😱😆

So pretty, even though I feel like that tall cactus is flipping me off. 😜

LOL. I get that.

They'll eventually be 55 and realize... nope, not elderly.

Oh cool!!

Does he like what he does?

I know Gen Z's job prospects are pretty dismal. I don't have much reach, but wanted to put this out there. ATC is hiring. They offer paid training and you can make a 6-digit income within 3 yrs.

Must be a U.S. citizen, have a bachelor's degree (any), and be 30 yrs or younger

Gen X are 45-60 years old right now. They aren't old enough to retire.

No single generation “destroyed the world.” Think larger... governments, corporations, global events.

LOL! Gen Xers are 45-60 years old right now. Since when is that "elderly"?

But I do agree the younger generations (and probably all of the so-called elderly people) have no interest in working multiple part-time jobs.

Anyone working multiple part-time jobs is doing it because they have no choice.

Great fun! And it's all very well organized. If you find you might have time after all and want to try the 500-word challenge, the early entry deadline is April 23rd. And the final deadline to enter is May 29th by 10pm EST.

The 250-word challenge is in early December if that works better for you.

Yesterday I posted about registering for NYC Midnight 1000-word challenge. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think I'm going to register for the 500-word challenge too, which is less than a month from the 1000-word. I find that the 500-word challenge is the sweet spot for me! #flashFiction

I feel on edge everyday.

Who are they polling?!?!? Like, did they go to the very dregs of society, the armpits of the U.S., for a good portion of those polls??!!?

I've never seen someone so f*cking hell-bent on destroying things at random. It's like "flavor of the week" with him. He enjoys the pain and suffering of others... and amongst other ick things we could say about him, he's a sadist.

The Flash Fiction Challenge — nycmidnight The Flash Fiction Challenge is an annual creative writing competition that challenges writers around the world to create short stories based on genre, location, and object assignments in 48 hours.

The last time I did their 1000-word challenge was 2023. I got more into their 250-word and 500-word challenges in more recent years. But I think I'm going to register for this! Anyone else planning on participating? #FlashFiction #writingCommunity
