for my Patreon patrons!

No distractions today!

I need to get a new computer!

Are you affected?

okay, i'll admit it, besides being blonde i've been having the odd senior moment too!

I've heard an ad from a computer hobby store that claims that if you upgrade your computer with ab SSD that it will increase The speed of your computer 10-fold. Is there any validity to this claim?!?!?

OK, I'm writing a story in which an IT troubleshooter needs to locate an unknown virus and irradicate it without destroying the data.

The fictional device has a 1 gig solid state C drive and a Terabyte drive D. I'm presuming that the virus would have compromised something on the boot drive.

C drive is using 79.6 of 97.8 available
D drive is only using 4.75 of 931 available.

i don't know why i say goodbye.....

I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 smart phone model SM-J337U. Up until recently, I've been able to access the internet while out and about on the phone. However, a while back, I was in Home Depot trying to use their app to locate something in the store and it said I didn't have an internet connection. Then last week same thing happened at Safeway and just today, I was at Best Buy and wanted to do a curbside pickup.

Just a quick note which is only of significance to trivia buffs and possibly readers of various stories on BCTS, I have seen Swamp Pop Soda mentioned in several stories. The authors have referred to it as being from Louisiana and hard to find.

The new Gaby is available!

So, a two part message for all you Gaby fans out there.

Firstly, i finished the next chapter of 'Smell of the Crowd' (which may not be the final title), the 27th Gaby book earlier today, my Patreon supporters can read that first draft now. BTW, a massive thank you to everyone who is supporting via Patreon, a steady income really does help keep the constructive juices going!

yep, just to let folks know, there's another new chapter up on Patreon today, #7 is a break from the singing - well almost!

enjoy

Hi all, was looking through my kindle library and I’ve realised it’s been a year since Tanya has published anything.

Has anyone seen/spoke to her?

Feels a lot like 2021 so far!

I think I first discovered this site when I was about 14 or 15. I must've come here every day to read the stories posted here. These stories got me through the absolute worst moments in high school. I fell off when I went to university, but throughout the pandemic I was feeling nostalgic and I went back through the site (and some old bookmarks) to re-read some of my favourites. It was crushing seeing how many names have since been added to the memoriam. I just wanted to thank everyone.

Maybe it's only interesting to me but these were some of my absolute favourites as a teen:

Yep, that's Chrimbo day gone, done and dusted!

I had hoped to offer you another chapter of Ontario this evening, -'ve got as far as first draft on the site but despite many attempts it won't preview so I can't post it. (this is from my phone). After best part of 2 hours of trying i've now given up, life is too short to waste it waiting for the site to work.

I so want to wish one and all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a happy and safe New Year. May the New Year bring everyone more freedom, love and acceptance from their families, friends and society in general. I hope all you girls here can realize your dreams and needs.

Love and hugs,
Charlotte
