Discussion Thread December 2019 75 Word Writing Challenge.

It's in the Workshop forum

I only found the challenge back when we had a Front Page that highlighted current active threads. Otherwise I would have never know about it, figuring that the Workshop Forum was for serious authors.
@Brian G Turner What happened to the Front Page?

What happened to the Front Page?

It's one of a handful of plugins I was using for the forum software. However a few months back one of them started to cause the server to crash, so I deactivated them all just to be safe.

And thank you too @Luiglin!

Ok, thanks for the quick response. I did quite like that page.

Margaret Note Spelling gives us the gift of an employee complaint box.

@Margaret Note Spelling .... To Boldly Give .... Margaret reinvigorates the Christmas Spirit of the pre spirit visit of Ebenezer Scrooge.

 

[Margaret Note Spelling]

Fair enough, I guess. Not really the idea, but if that's what you got from it, then I can't disagree.

I do, however, wonder how much additional misery and awkwardness is generated for people who actually do have something legitimate to complain about during the month of December, and consequently have to also feel bad for doing so when everyone else is so happy.

In my profession I've had many discussions with people for whom the holiday was shadowed to say the least. There are even some churches who have a kind of memorial service at this time of the year for people who miss loved ones especially at the Holiday Time. So if they are part of a viable community of faith they should have support available if they choose to ask. This should be especially true if your needs are material, rather than emotional or psychological.

I am in and must immediately apologise to Parson for my tongue in cheek take on history. I hope I have not offended.

Not to worry. Not offended.

Just had a terrible moment. I couldn’t remember if I’d posted an entry this month. I had to go and check.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Could you look and see if I've posted anything yet, while you're there?

Aw c'mon, we're not down to the final two minutes yet, where you and the Bear play chicken!

Well, it's not the last minute yet. I'll think of something.
