OMG! I finally received an FBI scam :D
For months now my friend David Prosser has been regaling us with tales of email scams, and now I have one of my own. The writing is so… extraordinary I thought I’d post the whole damn lot. :) Virtual cookies to whoever finds the most mistakes! * * * Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Anti-Terrorist […]

Meeks gets around!
The lovely Kat Brooks from Indies Unlimited took this photo on a recent trip. I love it, especially the tagline that says ‘The Builder’s Choice’. ;) cheers MeeksFiled under: Uncategorized

Blocked or Bored?
Apologies, I always feel a little embarrassed promoting my own work but… I’ve written a piece on writer’s block for Indies Unlimited. If you’re interested you can find it here : http://www.indiesunlimited.com/2014/0... cheers MeeksFiled under: Uncategorized

A great brew of flash fiction
I had a look at the Indies Unlimited Flash Fiction contenders for this week – and they made me smile! The theme is sci-fi so of course I loved it, but so, apparently did a heap of very talented writers [no, I did NOT enter this one] who came up with some really interesting variations […]

Hockey Budget 2014 – $245 million for chaplains??
If I’ve been quiet about the 2014 Budget, it’s only because the wrong was so obvious. Today, however, The Daughter alerted me to something that seems to have slipped past in the general furor – chaplains. There is currently a High Court challenge regarding the legitimacy of the Commonwealth funding chaplains at all. Let me rephrase […]

Live!
It’s always easier to do nothing, to just drift, but that’s not living is it? Start the rest of your life by watching this video. The language is German but there are English sub-titles. Go on, you’ll thank me [and The PinkAgendist who introduced me to this clip]. Much love, MeeksFiled under: Uncategorized Tagged: life, […]

And now from cats to ghosts. :)
Apologies for hitting you with two posts in one night, but I simply couldn’t resist either of these two stories. My second offering comes from Candy Korman, and includes her signature ‘twist’ at the end. I give you ‘Nightwatch’ - Harriet’s commute was already too long, but the Beltway traffic in and out of the […]
A real rambo kitty!
To all those who hate cats – watch this real home security footage of the family cat saving HER HUMAN, and then tell me cats are useless, unloving creatures only interested in a feed. Go Tara. :D -hugs- MeeksFiled under: Uncategorized Tagged: cat, hero, video

View from my window
I’m not a morning person, but for some reason I was wide awake at 5am this morning, so I finally gave in and got up. This was my reward. :) And no, that photo was not taken through my window – I went and stood outside my window so the manky flywire screen wouldn’t get in […]

What a difference a day makes – thanks WP!
I had a bad headache yesterday, the kind that makes you doze miserably all day. Quite frankly, WordPress and Opera were the last things on my mind. I did brace myself for action this morning though… but it wasn’t needed! WordPress, and my blog are back to their lovely selves, crisis averted. Yay! But why […]
