Hi all! I hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving today had a good one.
Mine was (actually still is as I type this) spent babysitting about 260
pounds of dog. Three Labrador Retrievers (actually two chocolate labs and my
black Lab mix). Of course, I did't have access to my back yard because the
owner of my apartment building decided this was the perfect time to replace
the porches. So, with my brother (who owns a house) out of town, we all
piled in the car and had Thanksgiving at his house…..without him!!!! Of
course now I'm back home, still babysitting and having to keep the dogs in
the apartment. Such is life.

Been a while since I had anything to post for a tuesday - it's quite a
small update today - but a very significant one. A well respected and much
loved bard has been quiet for a while - but the RL issues and the block she
was suffering seem to be lifting. And she's writing. So give a big, warm
Xenaverse "Welcome Back" to Minerva with her brand spanking new
story.

Nadine Butler is a popular disc-jockey in a small-town radio station.
Everything is going fine until one day, exhausted, she stands up in a town
hall meeting and outs herself as a lesbian. Nadine quickly becomes persona
non grata and, when it looks like her outing will cost her her job, she
takes one last stand on the air.

Hi folks. Zero here again. Still healing slowly, still typing left hand

my accent - I said Bleeding Ada, you're a hard-heated woman It typed Bleed
in nada yora ard artid worm and spell check suggested I wanted Bleed in
Asia, you're an arid worm - so I gave up. Ah well. On with the show - btw
don't you think Heartbrkn's a tease?? She says she's in love and doesn't
tell us anything else!! Not a word!! Ok - updates - just a small one

Hi all. It's Friday (Thursday night, actually) so you have me (Ilene)
again. Heartbroken, being the hard taskmistress that she is, has asked me to
share these lyrics with you.
Don't know the author, but Martina McBride sings it ANYWAY
You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin
One storm could come and blow it all away
Build it anyway
You could chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway
God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like i think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway
This worlds gone crazy
And it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all you heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway
God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like i think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway
You can pour your soul out singin'
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway
I sing
I dream
I love anyway
Kinda describes what the Xenaverse philosophy is. Don't you agree?
And now, on with the updates!

- Senet
By Nut56 on Merwolf's Academy of Bards [complete/alt/classic]
Senet is based around Season 2 or 3, and reads like a typical episode from
that time. When Gabrielle is threatened by an enemy neither she nor Xena can
understand, they travel across the globe to ancient Egypt, to an old friend
of Xena's, in search of help. Not only must Gabrielle face her own danger,
she must unravel the link between Xena and Nekhmet, an Egyptian pharaoh who
knew the Warrior long before she and Gabrielle met. There are maintext
scenes here for adults only, but otherwise the story can be enjoyed by all.

Well hi there folks. It's the walking wounded here. Zero your fearless
tarmac tester. And I can report that tarmac is very hard and hitting it
hurts!! I'm still here - minus a few of bits of bone and with the addition
of a couple of metal plates - but alive!! I don't think repairing me cost
anything like 6 million dollars but I'm incredibly grateful that I don't
have to worry about the price. And I'm unbelievably grateful to the
Xenaverse for the fact that I don't have to worry about the long months of
recovery ahead of me. Many, many thanks to Jordan Redhawk, Jean Rosestar,
Vic and everybody who donated or bid on the auction site. Right - enough
slush - on with the updates - it's a biggie tonight - bit tough on my
one-armed typing but ain't that always the way - *g*.

- A wonderful email I received!!
I'm back - short one paw but here...
I've got thousands of emails to check... and many more personal good
wishes to reply to than I ever thought possible... if you've sent a
personal email to me I will reply... just give me a day or so to get
round to you all
I've had two plates put in my shoulder - which has repositioned the
collar bone - and now it isn't sticking through the muscle and cutting
into the nerves I'm not in screaming agony any more - it's down to a
bearable ache. The doc had to remove two nerves which had been shredded
by broken bone so I have a patch of shoulder that will be forever numb
now... good place for a new tattoo yeah??..
They got the bone chips out of my chest wall... unfortunately they
couldn't save the rib they came from so I lost that. Which of course
means that I only have 2 cracked ribs to deal with now.... hey... gotta
look on the bright side right??
I am not allowed to use that arm at all for a month - and then it will
need 3 months of gentle physio after that - so I'm out of work for 4
months...
which brings me to my next point... the auction/donation site... I'm
absolutely, totally gobsmacked... I will be thanking personally as many
people as I can who have donated stuff for it... and the fantastic
friends who set it up But... how the F%$& do you say thank you for
that?? How do you thank all the xenites who have been so generous?? How
do you thank the readers who like my stuff enough to care?? How do you
thank the writers who consider me one of their own?? How do you thank
all the folks you always held in high esteem, who you regarded as
friends without ever thinking they felt the same about you.... who have
done so much... . who have demonstrated that friendship runs both
ways.... how do you say thank you for this... not just for the material
things but thank you for your friendship... thank you for caring How the
hell do you ever say thank you for all this?? I have no idea.... I don't
even know where to start I guess I just start here... like this.... and
say Thank You
