Ly the Princess, Part 1

The forest was tall and dense, and at this time of night, rather clammy.  Even after the third moon rose, not much light got through the branches.  On a late summer night like this, it was common to hear many sounds of life – night birds, insects, peeping frogs, the scuffling of one small creature hunting or fleeing another.  But tonight, certain sounds emerging from under the canopy of branches were not so usual.   
 Crash, crunch, slosh – “Yeeow!”   
 Rayman groaned, not for the first time, and scrabbled his way back up the steep river bed where he had missed hi

Man, if it wasn't for the mudkips I'd have clean forgotten that the first of April is April 1st.

I'm going to put things there that I don't put here. Stuff that's less finished and more scrappy. And maybe more personal. I also put "Piranha" there.

Contributions from other writers are welcome. Art can be posted too.

Wow a woman that can hold her tongue even on a subject that stirs up a bit of anger emotions ... I'm impressed.

Now if you can do that, you can suck it up and find a new job. Go get them girl. It's just like acting so go play the part. It's ok to have stage fright if you go ahead and step on to the stage.

Go job shopping and don't get me started on for profit insurance, girl :)
*rayfan:iconrayfan: 1 day 8 hours ago
Thanks!

Yeah, I've been without insurance for most of the 20 or so years I've lived in this country. I wouldn't give a penny to those crooked insurers anyway, what a racket. Just eating a good diet and keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe the fruit vendors would like a change one of these days.

Valley Hospital !! That's an old one ... Been there a few time too :) ... and sense docs and nurses run rampant in my family - have heard no complaints of the dark side of hospitals about it.

Really not into selling exotic herbs (yet) ... might change my mine if we don't fix our medical system soon. Just don't get sick unless your rich and don't count on insurance for major problems ... Think I rather sell flower bulbs ... but people are making millions from selling flack seek juice ... hum! Oh yes an elixir ... got them fruit vendors ready :)

Will spotty is scary and your right to be wary ... Good decision to find something more reliable ... Wishing you good fortune on the hunt.
*rayfan:iconrayfan: 2 days 2 hours ago
Herbs and elixirs? That sounds fantastic. Maybe I can recruit some of the fruit vendors crowding the streets around here.

Seriously, I don't doubt there's a market for exotic herbs in LA and CA generally. Just needs some nice packaging and an advertising gimmick. Sell it through the health food stores.

The problem with the company I work for is that the hospitals they are contracted with changed their methods of transcription recently, and that took a lot of work away from us. It's been very spotty for several months now and I need something more reliable and that pays decently. Which in this business isn't always easy to find. (Used to work part time at Valley Hospital in Vegas, that was a nice gig. :D)

AAaa working from home ... got to love it!!

I thought medical transcription was a never ending story??? What no one can afford a DR. these days?
Hum Lets sell herbs and elixirs like they do on a Peru-en street market. I have all herb connections, can you set up the street vendors? :)
*rayfan:iconrayfan: 2 days 19 hours ago
I like the company a lot, but the work is drying up. Gotta find another one that's doing better. I'll probably still stay with medical transcription so I can work at home.
