That moment when you discover an amazing band only to find out they’re severely underrated.
Who? Now I am curious (and always up for a new band).
Good afternoon. Sorry I am kind of neglecting this place. Lots happening. I'll put on a pot of coffee and a couple pots of tea (Red Rose and Japanese green) then scoot off. Kettle is boiled, too, for those needing hot water for other stuff.
Later

I’ve been waiting for dark mode. So much nicer on my eyes.
If you click on your avatar in the top right, click Settings on the menu, and scroll down, there's a section called Experimental where you can turn it on. As Molly said, it's in beta right now so there could be problems, but at least you can get a look at where they are headed with it.
Good morning, one and all!!
We gather here for new members, Drew looking his finest, misunderstood Disney villains, and more.
There's some dark roast Nicaraguan in the coffee pot. Teas are Assam Tarajulie (my current Assam), and Cream of Earl Grey. Hot water is on for those what need it. Hot chocolate mix, assorted teas, and various add-ons and condiments all are replenished.

It’s a beautiful sunny frosty day here in Ireland. Just been for a walk with the dogs and I’d love a cup of coffee to warm me up. I recognise a few faces from other places but hi, I’m Susie. New to here and hoping to publish a story or two soon
Hi, Susie. Welcome to SS and Inspirations. Nice to see you.

Aww, you guessed! I can't imagine how. 😜 Anyway, here it is, soon to be available through Viking Bay Books.
I think it looks great. It is thanks to all the wonderful comments posted here that gave me the confidence to run with it. Thank you all! ❤️
A book! I figured that's why you were taking them down, but nice to actually see it. Congratulations, Anna!
Good morning, fellow beings of the planet Earth!
Sunny here, though "warm" would be a stretch. Still, it is above 0C so we might be able to get rid of some more ice before, sigh, more freezing rain falls tomorrow.
Coffee du jour is some Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Teas are English Breakfast and Russian Caravan. Hot water is ready for other teas and hot chocolate.
Two stories on the go and both stalling right now. Mostly just mood. Didn't sleep well the other night and that sometimes takes a day before it hits me.

I've just seen a Polar Bear driving a car. I need a drink...
Meh. Just James out on an errand, probably. 😊
Scraped a ton of ice off my drive this morning to make it passable. Temps are well below freezing so it might be around for a bit. So far today, just snow flurries.
Getting late in the day so I'll put on some green tea and peppermint herbal.
Wow. The latest (and possibly final given that the album drops in a month) single from Floor Jansen's debut solo album Paragon came out today. It's a beauty, really showing off her well-honed voice from more delicate singing at the beginning to her powerful belts towards the end.
In some ways, you wonder why Floor is only releasing material under her own name after 25 years as a professional musician. OTOH, 25 years in 4 different bands has really polished her voice and performance skills.

Earl grey if you have it.
There's always some Earl around. Multiple variants in fact. 😊

Ireland was the only country to object to the standard on the grounds that it didn't include warming the teapot first.
Assuming you use a teapot. I generally use a steeper or tea strainer right in the mug. But of course, the Irish would probably object to me using a mug, too.

the cats took an Uber to the cat toy store before I woke up
You might want to check your wallet. If they took your credit card along, things could get crazy. 😜
Headachy today but still survived two meetings, one of which could put a dead person to sleep. 🙄

Whoever in the heck sent snow to Arizona... I DON'T WANT IT
I'll take snow over what we got, freezing rain and ice pellets. Cops are still asking people to stay off the roads this morning (there is still a chance of freezing drizzle until midday) and schools are all closed. Took me 10 or 15 min. to get enough ice off the car that I could drive it home yesterday. Supposed to warm up this afternoon so that should take care of it, though.
Anyhow, I have put on a bit pot of coffee to help folks warm up. There's also Assam and English Breakfast teas. Hot chocolate, other teas, and various sweeteners and add-ins (including mini-marshmallows, Sara) are stocked up and hot water is available for making them.
Later.

The beginning of Lent. Was so pleased to discover that Methodists celebrate Lent. Hubby and I are making the switch from the Catholic Church to the Methodist Church. We needed a place of worship that felt more inclusive.
I think most Christians, at least in the West, celebrate Lent to some degree. Most Protestants don't fast the way Catholics traditionally did, though. Not even sure if most Catholics do anymore.
Not sure I am celebrating anything right now. Making it home in one piece, I guess. We are getting an ice storm.
There's a surprising amount of Canadian content in this listing, including one market that only takes submissions from those of us with maple syrup for blood. There are some other interesting markets, though, so have a boo if you're looking for a place to put your stories besides here.

In the midst of the comp, other work can sometimes get overlooked. Like this wonderful, emotional new poem from fuzzy.
