Grandma Susie's House of FUNNERS 'N FLOOZIES (Volume V)

[alleycat]

We could do the five course meal at Miel, a cozy little French restaurant. The salmon rillettes is excellent.

Yeah, but do they have pie?

 

[heyjude]

Now that I have sufficiently spent all of ac's money (and been punned! ), I'm going to bed. Night, house of expensive lunches.

Are you trying to earn brownie/reppie points?

(Dang, I really am getting hungry now!)

 

[alleycat]

They have profiteroles.

I hope it was good for you too.

*flops onto bed*

Just spent 3 hours cleaning the house. I think I should've gone on the holiday, not mum.

Of course, I didn't have a spare $1000 lying around, so it was kind of moot...

 

[night-flyer]

*waves hands around*

Okay, who lit the cigarette?



no that is not aimed at you, Cliff. You just posted before me. lmao.

 

[alleycat]

I'm not going to have an extra $1000 either after I take everyone out to lunch . . .

 

[Caitlin Black]

That was me. *guilty*

Actually, after a much-needed shower after all that cleaning, I went out for a smoke, and I guess the wind must've been blowing in the wrong direction or something, because the smoke alarm started beeping like a mad something-or-other.

As soon as I put the cigarette down and went to go inside, it stopped. *shrug* That never happens, though... But there have been a few occasions where the smoke alarm has gone off randomly, and briefly, for no reason. So it might've been that.

 

[night-flyer]

Maybe the battery needs changing.

One of the batteries in mine got low and I had to listen to it beep at random times for a year before it finally died. Well, I could've just changed out the battery, but that would have made too much sense.

 

[Caitlin Black]

Nah, it wouldn't be the battery, I don't think. We've had these 2 smoke alarms for less than a year. Soon after we moved in, the old ones started beeping a lot, so we had them looked at, and yeah, they had built-in batteries that couldn't be changed and were meant to last for 10 years. Which meant that both of them needed to be replaced, because they were obviously put in at the same time (both were identical).

So yeah... Less than a year we've had these new ones.

 

[night-flyer]

Maybe you have ghost smoke in your house. Or better yet, ghosts smoking in your house! You can bum a cigarette off of them if you run out.

 

[Susie]

'ello, guys. Ghosties? Twice now I've heard someone call me susie and woke me up 'n it wasn't howie. Was it one of youz s

 

[Siri Kirpal]

Sat Nam! (literally "Truth Name"--a Sikh greeting)

Not a ghost of a chance it was me, Susie!

Has Howie got his pain meds yet?

Blessings,

[Caitlin Black]

I don't want a haunted house! I'm the only spook to go bump in the night around here, I tell you!

In other news, I just finished the editing pass on TEC! Woo!

Need to write a synopsis and query that don't suck, and then it's time to send this sucker back out into the world. I've submitted it previously, but from December up till now I've made the novel sooooo much better.

I always thought that 29 would be my year, and I turn 29 in May. That's roughly how long it'll take to hear back from agents. Coincidence? I think NOT!

 

[Silent Rob]

Send it out to 29 agents, Cliff.

Guaranteed success!

[bettielee]

I see Heather is passing out the pink autobot again.... pleasure to see you, Rob.

 

[alleycat]

Good morning, house of droids.

 

[alleycat]

In other news . . .

Parts of the northeast are preparing for a major blizzard today and tomorrow, including New York. If it happens there are going to be major problem with travel that will ripple across the US.

It's still relatively mild where I live; currently 52 F/ 11 C.

 

[Silent Rob]

Yikes! And they only just had that really bad storm, didn't they?

BL, reg only does this people she truly respects. It's like a badge of honour thing, yanno?

ROAR

 

[alleycat]

Sure. We believe you.

 

[Silent Rob]

I fink it's because I said all that nice stuff about her yesterday.

*capers*

 

[Alessandra Kelley]

Er ... with that avatar ... The capering pink candyfloss Transformer is rather ... disturbing.

 

[Caitlin Black]

Send it out to 29 agents, Cliff.

Guaranteed success!

There aren't that many agencies in Australia, so I better send some to Jarmany too.
