A Life of Crime and Chocolate

Ted. Welcome to MTS. We know where the bodies are buried.

Wait - who let him in here? I thought we had rules about this place.

That's what they told me when you guys made me take that test, anyway.

I'm adorable. I get let in everywhere.

But...but mine was an essay test. About clothing, and handcuffs, and....wait. Maybe I'm confusing two different entrance exams.

I can count to 21.

26. So there!

I know! I'm connected with some of you on Facebook, but not all. Love keeping up with everyone's lives.

Here: Yesterday I took a day-long concealed carry class, including a live simulation of a couple of crimes and how I would react. It was... enlightening. Also qualified on the range pretty handy-dandy, if I do say so myself. It will be helpful in writing. And other stuff.

How about you, Cassi?

Life is insane. I am working for a Third Party Administrator over retirement plans. I started back in March (actually got hired away from my former employer) and I hit the ground running every day.
I've been swimming again and trying to stay healthy.

I've been wondering...what do you guys and gals would think would be a murder weapon of choice for a woman? I once read it would be a knife or poison...anyone agree with that and why not a gun? Keep in mind, my MC is a woman and she is trained with all kinds of weaponry as a law enforcement officer.

If she's in law enforcement, then she's thinking evidence. So that would mean a throw-away gun that can't be traced back to her.

Most woman don't like blades because it's messy honestly, it can be hard to kill someone with a blade. You've got to be accurate and fast.

Hi all, been a long time but here to say that I have returned. I just needed a bit of break from here but I'm back. It be nice catching up with all of you.

Good surprises or bad ones?

They were good ones and one included a new job.

Jobs are good! Congrats!

Welcome back, Mr Mitchell, and congrats on the new job.

Oh, hey, Mr Mitchell! Welcome back!

Wimmin with bad attitudes tend to boil rat poison and slip it into their Significant Others' soup. And most of them get by with it, too.
Other ladies (?) tend to try to find someone else to do the dirty deed. Often they end up hiring an undercover cop, which ends badly for them. Not something you can advertise a lot about.

I vote against knives. Close quarters is too risky unless it's heat of the moment. Gun v. poison depends on the setting for the kill and overall context. I like to make things explode, but I've been known to use poison. (Ahem. All make-believe, of course.)

And HELLO. It's been... months? All year? I can't recall, but I see new names. Hello, people new to me!

I've been swallowed by the work monster. Send an extraction team. Keep sending them until I am extracted. It's dire. I received a lovely promotion that allows me to keep my old job too, and all the extra hours I'm logging are just slowing my sink. I'm mobilizing my job search and need to be better at enforcing boundaries so I can have some kind of personal life again. I'd really, really like to finish my WIP.

CHOCOLATE. PIE. (Liz can have cake.)

back, Namatu!!!! It's been wayyy too long!

Fight that evil work monster. We need you here.
