Hey everyone, I was just talking to Systemcat last night and she wants everyone to know that the reason she hasn't been around that much because her laptop died and her tablet broke. She did order a replacement laptop and hopefully it will arrive very soon for her. Thanks for informing us, @butterflyblew86.

The new computer came in ultra early. Really early! According to eBay this thing wasn't due at the post office until Saturday at the earliest.
The Dell was suffering a slow death that when finally I couldn't use the bamboo tablet, that was what ended it. It also had non-working keys and other driver issues, plus a faulty DVD drive. The tablet which was a Christmas gift I got in early Jan., died of screen death. It just started line fading out fast but I backed up my files quickly out of it.
This new machine well new to me, is amazing! But I have to get used to it. While the lack of a machine was taking place, I was working on further detailing the second gap story's outline. I think to break in this computer I'm going to make it's cover art. The second gap story is titled "Vocal Canvases".

I'm not dead. I've just been in a funk because of pain and a lot of frustration with events going on offline.
I also haven't abandoned my normal sites for hanging out, I've just been appearing inactive. For big example DA. Butterfly knows about this. I'm working on another short but this one I want to present all at once because of the nature of it's contents. ... The story addresses that ugly side of the fandom that has nothing to do with canon content. .. That comment will make sense when it's read.

I've been a bit quiet lately since some important matters have been going on offline. Butterfly and ynnep48 know about some of it. Butterfly more. At the start of the month I was informed the lot rent was going up by $50, even $500 a month was hard to deal with. So $550 every month, no. I quickly found another RV park to move into, the new one being a mobile home / RV park. But there were massive problems figuring out how to properly conduct getting the move done. That even went so far as fear of becoming homeless again. Since back in 2009 it was nearly the same rent amount over an apartment that made me homeless the first time. Butterfly & ynnep48 thank you for trying and your wishes things worked out. At near the last second they did through my caseworker but things still don't seem resolved since I still haven't gotten the bill from the tow truck driver. My new landlady appears to be a saint and I think part of how I got in is I think she hates Debbie, my previous landlady. I also now finally have true internet meaning no more hot spotting with my cellphone on a low data cap. But the internet connection took a while to get it's bugs ironed out. Beaming because I finally got true internet, I decided to watch the live action Mulan on my TV using the Roku. An act I wouldn't dare do before. Then the connection got weird and I idiotically decided to watch another movie. Soul got interrupted over & over with the internet flicking in and out. Good movie through. Shame it took two days to watch with finally a stable connection for it's second half. Now I think the same day I located the new RV park I had a strange note appear on my credit card's usage information. A credit appearing from out of the blue. I called the company behind the card to find out what was going on. What happened was the deposit I gave the company years back was returned to me since I've always treated my card well. No strings attached they gave the money back to me in a check. On that I got what I started telling GM about in her blog thread, a replacement ring. Back in 2009 when I became homeless that first time I lost many many things. One of them was a ring with a claw sticking up out of it. It took years to find a replacement to it. The new one is not the same exact style but it's close enough. In fact I gave the eBay seller a deserved five star review for it and will provide anyone interested with a link to their shop. He sells more styles of rings than what I grabbed. After getting my replacement ring I still had left over money and thanks to my caseworker. She had warmly given me a Walmart gift card. The card and the remainder money is sitting in an owl piggy bank ( formerly a jellies treat container ). I'm not going to touch what that owl is holding until after the stimulus happens ... whenever that occurs. The goal with that piggy-owl is getting a good pair of shoes and a Nintendo Switch. ... I'm saving the treats for that day. I also want to hug all the individuals and families who really need the stimulus.

There is also a pink variant but I don't always see it for sale. Besides one cute owl-piggy is enough. The little guy came from Hong Kong Market months back.

Please forgive the move Gizmo but I'd prefer I not have multiple treads about my life offline cluttering things.
