Aw, people aren't feeling well? It's okay, I'm here now.
*brings in everyone's favorite foods, non-foods, cartoons, plushies, blankets, and cuddling partner(s) of your choice*
I'll, uh ... just be cuddling over here with Nihlus Kryik and some chocolate croissants while trying to convince myself to write.

I ... still don't really know how to just post image-links. It's a daily battle with whether I'll be able to open my computer. Sometimes, I try to open it from the hinge side.
True story.

Grr. so I can't figure out how to resize web photos and post them here. Had the happiest little kitten all picked out for you!
I don't know how to post photos properly either. And before Jed swoops in with his link to the FAQ, I've read it. Several times. Still none the wiser. 
Oh, good grief, my own forum is swarming in idiots today. There's a thread on which characters they don't like, and first someone comments that they kill a specific game character because of his nationality ... and now someone's saying the character's sexuality being non-het "cheapened" him.
Someone send help, please.

People are idiots. Except for the people who come to this pub. They are awesome. As are all the people who would come to this pub if they knew it was here. Everyone else - bah.
Well thanks for sharing that Justgo...
And welcome to the pub
Perhaps we'll become one of the things you like.
Hi, JustgoWrite. Nice to meet you. 
Okay, so the new writing "rule" I've read is no semi-colons. Or maybe this isn't a new thing. I don't know. I wonder if this was invented because a lot of people don't know how to use them.

This would work for me. I'm never sure when to use semi-colons, ergo>I rarely use them. I almost follow this rule now
Thanks for the laugh; me too! And, welcome to the Pub.

Oh,
What rubbish, such a silly rule. Where, may I ask, did you hear this?Rules like that are only good for tacking to the Pub wall and throwing darts at.

I heard it on Facebook. One of my writer friends says he's used a semi-colon in his WIP, so there. He is unrepentant.
I think there's one in my WIP too.

Hiya Jed.
Fran, there is actually a FAQ somewhere around here about use of the semi-colon. As I recall, it's a link to the Oatmeal. Lemme see if I can find it.
ETA: nope, it won't be a FAQ; it will be a Sticky. Also, note the neat use of semi-colon in preceding sentence. Still searching.
