(GMT) Our story for tonight is "THE SEA CHANGE" by Ernest Hemingway. Lag recommended this one. It can be found at: https://lostgayfiction.wordpress.com/2011/06/23/the-sea-change-by-ernest-hemingway/ Or https://tinyurl.com/38zwu5sk Whichever is easiest in your browser. [If the above link does not take you to the story, copy it and paste it to your browser window.] What I'd like everyone to do this week is think about the following paragraph. Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American author and journalist. This short story, “The Sea Change,” is similar in style and convention to a more well known story, “Hills Like White Elephants.” In each of these, Hemingway writes about controversial topics without being controversial.In the former story, the topic is abortion; in “The Sea Change” the topic is bisexuality. I have tried and failed to see anything in the story that leads me to believe it's about any sort of sexuality, let alone bisexuality. Does anyone else have that feeling? If you have any problems or questions, just email me at the email link above.

LOL, Nan.

I cannot believe these cute pups have been here for 12 years and I just found them.

How to fix when you're joining too many rooms accidentally when using our Kiwi IRC chat client. Do not actually do anything except read until I say " GO" ok? See the circle with your initial in it on the far-left top of your window? Click That See where it says "Forget me"? Click That There will be a small box close to the top that says "OK" or "Cancel" Click"OK" Copy the roomname to your keyboard before you do anything else. OK? Now, is there anything I said that you DO NOT understand? Because once you click that circle, you can't type in here until you rejoin. OK? Now, close this website and reopen it and make sure you spell the room name correctly when you rejoin. OK? OK, Now you can GO Stormy crosses his fingers and stuff.
