That bird perched on the rooftop determined to wake me before my alarm goes off
Closing my eyes tighter, snuggling deeper under covers, my alarm starts to ring
I'm not a morning person.
My fluffy little puppy so happily greets me, I smile, and then I remember
I'm not a morning person.
I begrudgingly rise and start towards the shower to begin my morning routine
Moments later with much needed coffee in hand, taking in a sip stepping out on the patio, soaking in the daylight
Face towards the heavens, a slight smile starts , and then I remember
I'm not a morning person.
Dressed and ready for work, heading out the door, breathing deeply and a smile on my face, I almost forget
I'm not a morning person.
Slowly accepting, appreciating the peace of God the early morning brings
Could it be, He is showing me how lovely it could be
If only I was morning person.
Psalms 118:24
New International Version (NIV)
24 The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.
let us rejoice today and be glad.

Over the weekend our Facebook and Instagram feeds blew up with everyone sharing their trimmed Christmas trees. This year we found our tree from a local who has a tree farm just north of us. Our tree is fat and full this year, once it was up I trimmed enough branches to fill a large trash bag, but will use some of it as garland for our mantle and above the kitchen cabinets.
This year Kensi was able to actually hang ornaments and understand the concept of decorating. I love our tree so much for the mere fact that Kensi decorated one branch with about four ornaments and continuted her strategy throughout the night. There are clusters everywhere and it makes my heart just overflow with joy because she was so proud of her beautiful work. One thing our tree has been lacking since we said 'I do' over six years ago is a tree skirt. We've often just thrown a blanket underneath to cover up the tree stand, but this year was going to be the first year it would be done properly and Mike needed a project! I asked him to copy cat this galvanized tree collar from Crate&Barrel. I adore this tree collar for its modern farmhouse feel and since we've never had a tree skirt we thought it would be a fun, inexpensive and easy DIY.
To make our tree collar we bought a 15 gallon galvanized bucket to fit over our tree stand from the hardware store. Using our Dremmel, Mike cut the steel bottom out and then used a grinding attachment tool to smooth out the rough edge and it was done! This whole project took less than twenty minutes!
Very easy and inexpensive especially for those on a strict budget, but still seeking some style, even at the base of a Christmas tree!

I'm back, Mammon fans — first chapter written on a treadmill, so if it reads like none of the blood is making it to my brain anymore, let me know. As always, referrals are welome. And thanks for reading.
Chapter Nine
Lynch and Bernstein started the morning going through red light camera shots from the intersection near the shelter. The problem was, the camera only took a shot when someone ran the light, so they had to put all the spots in order, make a timeline, see if they could pick out any likely cars. Lynch had the tech guy send up shots from so far that morning as well. Several cars in sight of the camera were still there, or were parked within a spot or two of where they'd been that night – had to be locals. Bernstein made a list of the plate numbers and sent them to be run. Local could have done it or could have seen something, but it didn't feel like it.
Starting an hour or so before the game, each shot would show cars cruising the street, hoping to save the $35 it cost to park at the stadium. About forty minutes to tip off, Bernstein got a clean shot of a Lexus backing into a spot and ran that plate. It was registered to a Harry Weber in Lisle.
"Christ," Lynch said. "You park a car worth forty grand on that street trying to save twenty bucks?"
"No explaining people," said Bernstein.
They flipped through the post game shots, but the Lexus was gone about half an hour before the shooting at the shelter. Five minutes before game time, a black Escalade that had been parked one spot up from the shelter was gone, replaced by a medium gray sedan with a low roofline. There was an old Suburban in front of it, so they couldn't make out much on the vehicle, just part of the roof and the top corner of the windshield on the driver's side. Again, they flipped to the post game shots. Somebody ran a light about ten minutes before the shooting and the car was still there. Next violation was twenty minutes later, and the car was gone.
"Looks like a Malibu," said Bernstein. "One of the new ones. You think?"
"Yeah," said Lynch. "What's that white spot on the windshield? Some kind of sticker?"
Lynch called the IT guy who had pulled the photos, gave him the ID number on the shot. They IT guy blew it up on his screen, couldn't get a lot of resolution, but he told Lynch it looked like one of the bar code stickers some of the rental car companies put on the windshields of their stock. Lynch asked him to run through anything they had around the stadium half mile in every direction for the 10 minutes before and the ten minutes after the first and last shots of the car, get him the plate number of every gray Malibu – bonus points if it had the white sticker. Guy said he would, but it was going to take a day or so.
Lynch was about to grab some coffee when the desk sergeant called up from downstairs.
"Got a Kim Martin here to see you – says you talked to her out at the UC on the Stein thing?"
"OK," said Lynch. "Send her up."
Martin was less made up, hair in a pony tail, wearing jeans and a Blackhawks jersey that was too big on her. It hung down off one shoulder, showing the strap to a running bra. Perky. Still perky. She sat in the chair next to Lynch's desk. Bernstein rolled his chair around.
"So, Ms. Martin. What can I do for you?"
"It's about that man from Abe's box – the one I thought I remembered? I saw him again today."
Lynch sat up in his chair. "Where?"
"On TV. He was on Oprah. Well, not on Oprah, but on a clip they ran."
"You know Shamus Fenn is in town, right, shooting that film? And there's been all this stuff coming out about him being abused when he was just a kid? Well, he was on Oprah, and they showed the clip from that big charity party they had in Darfur last year? When he got in a fight with that guy? It was all over the news then."
Lynch had a vague recollection – some stupid drunk celebrity shit. "Yeah, OK, I remember that."
"The guy from the box? He was the one that got in the fight with Fenn. That's where I'd seen him. The video was all over You Tube back then."
Jesus, thought Lynch. I got a dead zillionaire, a dead one-armed refugee, and now some mystery guest at an African charity party who punched out a movie star – and both him and the movie star where in town. "They mention his name?"
"I wrote it down. Nick Hardin. They said his name was Nick Hardin."
Hardin knew he had to move, had to get outside of town, get some space to get a line on things. He took the Marquis back up to the garage, dumped it, drove his rental back to O'Hare, grabbed the EL back downtown, then jumped on the Burlington out to Aurora. Going home.
Hardin left for the Legion in 1994. Of course he wasn't Hardin then. He was Mike Griffin. He was home on leave at the end of his second hitch in the Marines, ready to re-up, on the road to being a lifer. It was a few weeks before Christmas. He hitched up with his best friend from high school, Estaban Sandoval – they were heading out to celebrate Estaban's kid sister's 21st birthday. Hardin always thought Juanita was a cute kid, but he hadn't seen her in three years. Now, she was a knockout.
Griffin had plenty of dough saved, and he was playing big shot. Dinner at Red Lobster out at the mall, which was about as high end as Griffin knew back in those days, and then the old Toyota dealership on New York street that some guy had turned into a dance club. Juanita was turning some heads. Fuck that, she was turning all of them. And Griffin was falling for her. Halfway through the night, on the way to the men's room, he told Estaban.
"I think I'm getting a little thing for your sister, man. You cool with that?"
Estaban slapped him on the shoulder. "Better you than most of the scum in the neighborhood, dude. You gonna be a gentleman, right?"
"Part of the Marine code, hombre."
They danced, they drank, best night Griffin had had in a long time.
Closing time, Griffin, Estaban and Juanita were walking out to the car, halfway across the lot, when a stretch Caddy cut them off. Tiny Hernandez and two of his goons got out. Hernandez ran the Latin King's gang on the east side. He was also the younger brother of Jamie Hernandez, who was a major dealer tied in all the way to Mexico. Tiny looked like a human cement block – six feet tall, six feet thick, a flat, feral face on a stump neck.
"I been watching you, muchacha," he said to Juanita. "You like the finest thing ever been in that dump. I 'm gonna take you out, show you were the real players hang."
Juanita just shook her head, hanging back behind Griffin's shoulder.
"Thanks for the offer, sport," said Griffin. "But I don't think she wants to go."
"You got shit in your ears? I didn't ask. Puta like that, she don't know what she wants, not till I give it to her." Hernandez's goons got a chuckle out of that.
Hand-to-hand training is a big deal in force recon, where Griffin had spent his last four years, one of them playing whack-a-scud with a few Mossad boys who were supposed to be home in Isreal. They'd schooled him pretty good in their Krav Maga moves, too, which was some nasty shit. And Estaban was no pussy – he and Nick had their share of scrapes. The east side wasn't easy on pussies.
Nick caught the look from Estaban – no way his sister was getting in that car, and nothing good was going to come of waiting for the other side to make a move. Estaban yelled for Jaunita to get inside, put his shoulder down and drove into the goon on the right, catching him in the gut, driving him back against the Caddy hard. Griffin feinted toward Tiny, knowing the other goon would rush to help, then planted, turned and put a knife strike into the guy's throat. Way the guy went down, he might be dead. Too bad. Hernandez had is hand is his coat, a nine coming out – Griffin closed, locking both hands on the pistol, turning it down and in. Hernandez pulled the trigger, blowing a hole through the inside of his own thigh. Griffin twisted the gun out of his hand as Hernandez went down. He turned to check on Estaban. The first goon had soaked up the slam against the car and had forty pounds on Estaban. The goon got a knee up into Estaban's groin, shoved him back, and pulled his gun. Griffin shot him the goon through the side of the head.
Hernandez was on the ground, cussing, blood arcing out of his thigh.
"You gonna die, you fuck. You know who I am? You gonna fuckin' die."
"You first, sport," said Griffin. "That's your femoral artery emptying out there. Unless you're up on your first aid, you got maybe a minute or two before you bleed out."
Hernandez looked down at the blood jetting out into the parking lot for a moment, then looked back up to Griffin. "Jesus, you gotta help me. I mean this shit? We let it go, right? Shit happens. But you gotta help me."
"No," Griffin said, turning back toward the club, where Juanita was waiting. "I don't."
The DA didn't file any charges. The Aurora cops knew Hernandez and backed Estaban and Griffin right down the line. But a week later, some dumb-ass kid, maybe sixteen, made a try for Griffin with a knife while Griffin was in the checkout line at Jewel. Word was out. Jamie Hernandez wanted Griffin's head on a wall, and he'd pay top dollar to whomever delivered it. Even the Marines was no good – Griffin had seen enough gang sign carved into enough latrines to know better.
Estaban and Juanita drove him to O'Hare the day he left for France.
"I owe you my life," Estaban told him as they shook hands. "Anytime, anywhere, you need me, you call."
Griffin nodded.
Juantia stepped up, held Griffin's face in her hands, and kissed him.
Hardin had been dreaming about that kiss for sixteen years.

Electrical Panel Contractor Service in San Diego, CA - Service Tips from San Diego Pronto Plumbers
Electrical Panel Installation and Home Re-Wiring Tips
Residential rewiring, installation, and the upkeep of electrical panels, and circuit breaker installation can require a residential wiring contractor in San Diego, CA. At San Diego Pronto Plumbers, with that in mind, here are some house re-wiring and electrical panel inspection tips.
One of the most important considerations involving electrical panel installation and home wiring and re-wiring is that this type of work can be dangerous in untrained hands. You need to be aware of national and local electrical codes, power must be turned off, and you should use a non-contract voltage tester to be absolutely certain no hot wires are left in the circuit before work has begun. Sometimes electrical panel boxes are poorly marked, so double checking is always key, and one of the first things any professional does.
Basic house wiring starts at the main service panel. This is where the main breaker is located.
Installing a new panel is a large job, and while adding a circuit is less onerous, it still requires precautions and precision. For one thing, there are a variety of different types of circuits in the home, including 240 volt circuits which are used for large appliances like stoves, hot water tanks, and dryers. Basic house wiring uses copper wiring in all homes built recently. Houses constructed in the 1970's or earlier can have aluminum wire in them, which, due to fire hazard, should be replaced. Knowing what type and thickness of wire to use within the home depends on the circumstances in which it's used - another reason to have a professional work on home wiring and panels.
Like wiring, circuit breaker types vary and depend on usage. Because circuit breakers are usually specifically tied to a panel manufacturer, it's important to make sure that any replacements or additions are compatible.
For all these reasons, choosing a professional to handle your electrical panel installation and home rewiring can be the best choice for homeowners.

When you "call on" someone, you pay them a short visit. It is also possible to say "call upon", but this is considered to be rather formal.
Example: The students called on the ailing Principal on Wednesday afternoon.
When a teacher "calls on" a student in class, she wants him to answer the question.
Example: "I don't understand why she has to call on me all the time".
The expression "call at" is normally used in relation to a place. You usually call at some place. When you call at some place, you visit the individual at his place – it could be the office, home, etc.
Example: "I called at his office on my way to the airport".
The expression "call at" can also be used to mean "stop at".
Example: According to the brochure, our ship will call at five ports.

I joined a healthy eating and getting fit challenge for January. It's kicking my butt! But I suppose that is the whole point.
The food part is hard because healthy whole foods are expensive. I can make four meals on one package of hot dogs and four boxes of generic mac-n-cheese for less than $10. I can't make even one meal using exclusively whole grains/produce/organic on $10. When my grocery budget averages around $40 for two weeks - it's hard to justify those healthier choices.
I once heard someone say, "Just get produce instead of ice cream or other sweets!" - but when ice cream and those other sweets are just as rare in your house as the produce, that is not really a feasible response.
At least I'm doing well with the workout portion. I rented a walking workout DVD and one of the Just Dance games for Wii and am having fun with those. They aren't too hard for my out-of-shape self which is a big plus. It is very frustrating as an obese person trying to get in shape to have a "beginner" video show only thin people and use almost exclusively high-impact activities. Those of us who are obese need to start slow because it is harder for us to move. We can't just jump in to a high aerobic activity and keep up.

I found this awesome website called Plainchicken.com! I love it! They have tons and I mean TONS of delicious recipes for spicing up chicken. She also has other recipes too!
I am attempting to make this one tonight!
Crispy Oven Baked BBQ Chicken
Betty Crocker
3 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup Bisquick
1 tsp Lawhorn's Signature Seasoning (or seasoned salt)
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup milk
2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about a pound)
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 425°F. In 13x9-inch pan, place butter. Heat in oven 2 to 3 minutes or until melted.
In shallow dish, stir Bisquick mix, Lawhorn's seasoning and pepper. Pour milk into small bowl. Coat chicken with Bisquick mixture, then dip into milk and coat again with Bisquick mixture. Place chicken in pan. Bake uncovered about 25 minutes. Remove chicken from oven, top with BBQ sauce and cheese. Return to oven for about 5 minutes, until cheese melts.
we loved this recipe! The best, yummiest chicken I've ever made! This will be a new family favorite! I didn't have bisquick so I just used any pancake mix and I used regular season salt. It was sweet but savory and the BBQ sauce added a yummy smoky flavor. I don't really love BBQ flavored things but I LOVED this! You have got to try this!!

The murder of former Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko was carried out with the backing of the Russian state, Whitehall sources have told the BBC.
A senior security official told Newsnight there were "very strong indications it was a state action". [...]
The BBC has been told that Russia's internal security organisation, the FSB, operated under Mr Putin with far more autonomy than the organisations usually entrusted with foreign espionage operations.
Our source said: "We very strongly believe the Litvinenko case to have had some state involvement."
Newsnight has also learned that officers at MI5 believe they thwarted an attempt last summer to kill another Russian dissident, Boris Berezovsky.
The BBC's source said the Berezovsky incident showed "continued FSB willingness to consider operations against people in the West". [...]
In November, head of MI5 Jonathan Evans expressed concern that there had been "no decrease" in the number of Russian covert intelligence officers operating in the UK since the end of the Cold War.
The service believes there are around 30 operating from Russian diplomatic missions here.
My personal opinion on why they killed Litvinenko was that it had something to do with what he knew about 9/11 and related Russian sponsorship of Islamic terrorism. Because it sure doesn't seem worth it to kill him over something like this, when no one outside of Russia seemed to care much. You can find a full archive of Russia-related posts here.

|Me & Sissy, June 2012
While I've kept the email all this time, I never go back and read it: it's still painful and difficult to look back and think about where I was back then. As the big sister, it was my job to inspire, encourage, motivate, and set the example for my little sister and I failed to do that for most of our lives. I not only let her down, I let myself down, too. But, after spending all this time talking about it, I decided to dig it up and post it here, exactly two years after I first received it.
Hi Jill,
First I want to preface this by saying that mom, dad and I love you more than you could ever know. You are wonderful and we are very thankful for you! However I am sure you have guessed that is not the sole purpose of this email. Sister, I am not going to sugar coat anything - I am very concerned with your increased weight. I know, I know…nothing you haven't heard before but I couldn't go much longer without saying something to you. Your weight continues to scare me. A lot. I don't want to pretend like I know what your struggle is like but it scares me to think that my big sister could be heading down a road of some very big health problems in the near future. We give dad crap all the time about his family history of heart disease and diabetes – Jill; we are a part of that same family. We aren't excluded. We have to take care of ourselves too.
Sis, you could be taking steps as we speak to improve your health that I just don't know about and that would be awesome to hear. And trust me, all 4 of us have a lot of weight to lose – and I think we can only be successful at that if we support each other. However I can't will or beg you to get healthier. That has to be on you.
You may think sending an email is me being passive aggressive – but I know you hate talking about this stuff and tend to shut us out whenever the conversation comes up. I figured an email would allow you to read it in the privacy of your own home and react however you need to react (you can cry, scream, voodoo doll me, cuss me out…whatever you want without having to actually talk to me). You may not believe me, but I am not doing this to be confrontational…I hope you see this email as an act of love. You are my big sister…I look up to you, want what is best for you and want you to be around for a very long time.
Mom, dad and I want you to be healthy – and happy. Let us know what we can do to help.
Love you,
I would like to think and believe that even without this email I still would have gotten the courage and determination to start on this journey, but the fact is I don't know. I can't say for sure where I would be today without my little sister's courage to make me confront my scary and desperate situation.
Over Christmas she surprised me yet again, this time with a pair of Stella & Dot earrings she purchased through our mutual friend and Stella & Dot Independent Stylist Julie (who also blogs over at Wearing Mascara).
Yes, those are snake earrings. An odd choice at first glance, but like a snake I'm shedding my skin! Believe me, the Slytherin in me approves.
Love from the ashes,
Lady Lazarus

Here's some actual recipe syntax (as typed by a real cook) for everyone who loves apple pie and linguistics:
Preheat oven to 425 deg.
1 1/4 cup regular flour
1/8 tsp salt
2tbs sugar
1 stick cold unsalted butter
1 egg yoke
2 1/2 tbs. cold water
mix dry ingredients / add cold butter—mix by hand 'till crumbly
mix egg yoke with cold water before adding to dry ingredients
press all into pie dish with your fingers
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp nugmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
dash salt
6 to 8 small apples (slice thin- pie will cook better, I use more rather than less—lemon juice will keep the apples from browning)
2 tbs unsalted butter
mix all together, then layer apples in pie crust and use filling to fill voids in layers(doesn't have to be fancy) dot with butter slices
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 stick cold unsalted butter
mix dry then incorporate butter, then add to pie top- use all
Cover crust rim with foil until last 15 minutes
Cook @ 425 deg. For 40 minutes (keep an eye on crust brownness)
Some linguistic notes to make this a more legitimate post: "the apples" or just "apples" refer to the apple slices in the filling section, but note that, for the most part, the writer avoids using articles where possible. "dry" refers to "the dry ingredients"; "butter" refers to "the butter"; "all" refers to "all of resulting mixture" and so on.
In a recipe, we've already had a first mention of "the apples", so every usage following supposes that the reader knows what apple is in question, and doesn't even require the further clarification of an article.
This is a great recipe, too!

text: Thesis seminar for research on Latin American history. Projects on anything ranging from colonial Mexico to modern Brazil are welcome, but we will be particularly interested in social, political and cultural history. Since identifying an interesting question and locating appropriate sources early on is crucial to success with the thesis, all students wishing to take this seminar must contact Ms. Ballenger (email@example.com) before December 1 to discuss possible topics.

The Secret Garden
I am really only posting these pictures as a way of storing them in a fashion that allows me to 'occasionally look at them.
The go to remind myself what a lousy artist I would have been had I taken up Art as a Hobby, so often recommended by a member of my family.
They include the many of doodles that I used to do in those younger days when infatuation with someone caused frequent musings with a pencil and paper.
Others are School Work which was not much praised at the time as I was always too heavy with the Paint and Pictures tended to get darker & darker as these next couple show.
The Break In
(or could it be Break Out?)
Delivering the Coal
(yes, it used to be delivered to homes in this manner)
The Refugees
(at the time of Refugees from the Hungarian Conflict, coming to the UK)
Then I tried some colours
Then I tried some colours
The Foundrymen
(My father, bless him, was a Foundryman)
Fun At The Cresta Run Coffee Bar
One of my School Mates suffering for my art.
Some of my family in sketch form
My Mother
My sister Denise
My sister Jeanette
Friend of the Family 'Johnny Wallace'
I seemed to produce more sketches than anything else
A Friend from School
Then there were my Music influences.
My Favourite of the 60's , Adam Faith
George Harrison, My favourite on Guitar
(Under Tissue Paper)
Favourite Beatle - John Lennon
Another favourite was Seductive French Singer Francoise Hardy
(she would kill me for these hopeless depictions)
The Young Lady herself
I had another obsession with Brigitte Bardot
Then there were the 'Self' Portraits. In every case I did not realise that using a mirror puts everything including my Hair Parting 'The Wrong War Around'!
Then there were the 'Self' Portraits. In every case I did not realise that using a mirror puts everything including my Hair Parting 'The Wrong War Around'!
There were some dull periods when I had to do what I was told is Line Drawing to test my hand before my School of Architecture interview.
My Cycle Racing Cup for a 25mile Time Trial.
The next phase of my meagre attempts to draw involved trying to introduce people and animals and 'movement' . That proved not to be very successful either.
During this time I took an interest in Horse Riding, blowing my ten shillings earned from my newspaper delivery job each week on a 2 hour session each Saturday morning.
During Art Classes we were encouraged to try different mediums and techniques.
The last of my Art Folder is a few more faces of friends and pictures taken from magazines.
I have no idea who most of them are now.
My last two are the most recent and both of the originals were given to the owners.
Then I found two more drawings that I did at School when I was dreaming about the only Motor Cycle that I may have been able to afford.
I apologise for the poor quality of these drawings as they were stored badly for the last 53 years
I was reading a magazine back then extolling the virtues back then of a new Opposed Twin Cylinder Diesel Engine. In typical Schoolboy Fashion, I decided to create a 'Idea' for a similat Two stroke engine for the Bantam, never ever to be tried out.
This last offering is not really Art, but just a 'Frustration Doodle' I did in 1983 during a management meeting where my 'New Product Development' department was being criticised and '******* upon' , by a Factory Management Team who would not respect that the wishes of the 'Merchandising Internal Customers' we served, needed to be recognised and implemented.
'Operations' division = everything other than 'Merchandising & Purchasing' division .
'Product Development' department used to be part of the 'Manufacturing' division but had been transferred to sit between both divisions as a Service entity.
Interestingly, the Manufacturing Division no longer exists.
( The company name is included in the page as we were all issued with our monogrammed note pads. So be it. )
That is my Art Folder for what it is worth!

Two weeks from today, I will be induced. I am excited and a little scared all at the same time!
At this point in each of my pregnancies, I have gotten a little "scared".
Scared of what my labor will be like.
Scared that I will not live up to what is expected of me.
Scared that I will mess up the job I have to do.
Scared that I will shrivel up with each contraction.
Scared that I will forget how to push.
Scared that my body will fight against me.
Scared that I just won't be able to do it.
I know that most of my worries are for no reason. I know that this delivery will most likely be no different than the other three, but I still worry. I don't want to make a mistake. A mistake in delivery or in raising my kids.
I feel an immense amount of pressure to live up to the expectations I have set for myself. I have no one but myself to blame for my feelings of insecurity. Oswald is my biggest supporter. He knows I can do the things that are expected of me, but until I get in that hospital bed I worry.
But at the exact same time, I am so darn excited to be having another baby! I am excited to bring this sweet bundle of joy into our home. I am excited to see my big kids love on her and meet her for the first time.
I am excited to see what she looks like. Will she have blonde hair like my Little Man? Will she have long skinny fingers like my Princess? Will she have eyes that are so dark there is no change from eye to pupil like my Buddy?
Will she have a mild temper like her brothers or will she be a little sassy like her sister? Will she snuggle me like my Little Man or will she like her own time like my Princess?
These are the things I think about late at night. The things I worry about as my stomach contracts. The things I worry about each doctor's appointment I'm told I am not dilating. The things I worry about.
The excitement far outweighs the scared...but I just have to put this stuff down and out of my mind. Now, maybe I'll be able to sleep.

Training Carrie by Her Master
by Jay West
Chapter 77
I followed Char down the hall, but I waited outside the guest bedroom
door while she opened it and went in to Carrie. I didn't need see what
went on, I just wanted to hear the short conversation.
"I have to prepare you," Char said.
After a pause, Carrie asked, "Who are you, what's your name?"
"My name is Jeanne," Char said. "We're not allowed to talk, I have to
undress you now." A minute went by while she stripped Carrie, then I heard
her say, "I have to blindfold you again, until we are in the toilet area."
"What are you doing? Don't touch me like that," Carrie said in a loud,
angry voice. I smiled, knowing Carrie loved being touched like that.
"I have no choice," Char answered softly. "This is how you will be
taken from place to place in the Chateau, you had better get used to it.
Now put your hands down to your sides and leave them there. If you won't
behave, I'll have to ring for a valet. Believe me, you don't want that." A
moment later, Char and Carrie came out of the bedroom. Char was holding
Carrie's left labium between her thumb and fingers, pulling Carrie along
by her pussy. Although I couldn't see her full expression behind her
blindfold, I knew it was expresing embarrassment and humiliation.
As they walked by me, I let Carrie brush against my bare arm. "We're
not alone," she cried. "I'm naked, anyone can see me, please let me put on
some clothes."
Char stopped. Looking back at Carrie - and at me - she grinned. To
Carrie, she whispered, "Be quiet, foolish girl, or you'll get us both
whipped. Of course you're naked, what did you expect when they brought you
When Char got Carrie into the bathroom, she nearly closed the door all
the way, leaving a crack for me to listen through from the bedroom.
Although I couldn't see, I heard Char start filling the bathtub. Then I
imagined her removing Carrie's blindfold. I then heard her raise the seat
on the toilet. "You'll have to squat over the toilet, you're not allowed
to touch your ass to the seat. Would you like to hold my hands for
"Yes, please, Jeanne," Carrie said quietly, then a few seconds later I
heard her peeing.
"You have lovely breasts," Char said. That was my cue, I kicked the
door open and strode into the bathroom, holding the crop in my hand. I was
curious if Char would let go of Carrie, which would probably cause her to
fall into the toilet. That would have been bad, because I would have
certainly doubled over laughing if it had occurred, spoiling the scene.
But Char knew what was coming, she managed to hold onto Carrie and look
startled at the same time.
As Char was pulling Carrie to her feet, I said, "You know the rule of
silence, Jeanne, and you were not supposed to close the door. You've just
earned punishment." As soon as Char had Carrie pulled up to the vertical,
she fell to her knees at my feet, head bowed and hands extended, palms up.
Carrie acted as if she was afraid to look at me, she stood trembling with
her eyes lowered.
"Please don't whip me, Pierre," Char said earnestly. "I'll do
anything. Would you like me to suck you? I'll give you the best head
you've ever had, but please don't whip me."
I laughed. "Here's my counter offer, Jeanne," I said, "I'll whip you
now, and you'll blow me later. And if it's not the best head I've ever
had, I'll whip you again." Looking over at Carrie, I said, "On your knees,
and don't move until I give this one the punishment she's earned." Carrie
dropped to her knees, visibly trembling.
When we planned the scene, I wanted to turn Carrie away or blindfold
her, then fake Char's whipping. But Char had talked me into giving her a
few genuine blows with the crop. She was willing to take the pain in order
to increase the realism for Carrie, and I finally agreed to it. I bent her
over with her hands on the front edge of the bathtub, then pulled up the
back of her short skirt and tucked it into the waistband.
Stepping back and to the side, I quickly gave Char two strikes with
the crop, hard enough to mark her ass. She winced at each blow, but
otherwise remained still and quiet. "I'll finish your punishment just
before you give me the blow job I'm owed," I said. When she stood up, I
said, "Leave your skirt up in the back, so my marks on your ass will be
"Yes, Pierre, thank you," Char said quietly.
"Continue with your duties," I told Char. "Since you've already paid
the price, you may play with the new one while you work. But if you allow
her to cum, I'll whip your breasts." Without looking at Carrie, I left,
returning the door to its almost-closed position.
Listening outside the door, I heard Char shut off the water to the
bathtub. A moment later, she asked, "Were you finished on the toilet?"
"Yes," Carrie said, barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry you were
Char said, "It's unavoidable, but still I try to obey the rules. I
shouldn't have spoken to you." A moment later, she said, "Take my hand,"
then, "Stoop over the bidet, let the water clean you."
"You said I had lovely breasts, was that what he whipped you for?"
"Yes. They are lovely, I want to kiss them."
"Is that allowed?" Carrie asked.
"No," Char said, "but he won't return before I've prepared you. We
have a little time, and I don't need your permission to use your body. Who
will you complain to?"
I heard Carrie sigh. "I've never done this before, with another woman
I mean," she said. "But I won't complain. It feels so good."
After a silent interval, Char said, "Now you do it to me." In a little
while, Char chuckled. "I think you have done this before," she said.
"May I touch the welts on your bottom?" Carrie said. "I've never seen
anyone whipped like that before."
"Kneel down," Char said. "Touch them with your lips." The only sound,
for a minute or so, was Char moaning.
There was silence for awhile, then finally Char said, "I have to clean
you out and bathe you now, and I can guarantee that it will be very
stimulating for you. Now clasp your fingers together behind your head and
leave them that way, I want complete access to your body." I heard Char
running water in the basin, filling the enema bag, then she said, "Have
you ever been penetrated fore and aft at the same time?"
"Oh, God," Carrie cried.
I walked over to my favorite chair and sat down. After noting the
time, I leaned back and began planning the details of the next scene. I
owed Char some fun for her pain, so I had decided to let her play with
Carrie for awhile before bathing her. I had told her she would have half
an hour.
I actually gave her 35 minutes. When Char opened the bathroom door and
led Carrie out by her pussy, Carrie was flushed and panting. "You'd better
not have let her cum, Jeanne," I said in a threatening voice.
"She hasn't cum, Pierre," Char said quietly, "but I can assure you she
wants to. She's very needy."
"Fix her hair and prepare her, I'll return in 15 minutes," I said. I
walked up to Carrie, took one of her nipples between my fingers and thumb,
and squeezed. She gasped. "You saw what I gave Jeanne," I told her. "If
you cum before you are presented to your new Masters, you'll get ten times
what she got." I gave her nipple a hard twist, then turned left the room.
When I returned to the bedroom, about 15 minutes later, Char had
Carrie standing in front of the full length mirror. Her hair had been blow
dried and brushed, and it looked perfect. But Char had used too much
makeup, which is exactly what I had told her to do. She had succeeded in
making Carrie look like a tramp, but a very attractive tramp. Char had
also rouged Carrie's areolas, and had used a bright red lipstick on her
inner labia. As I walked up to her, I could also tell that she fairly
reeked of perfume.
Looking at Carrie's face in the mirror, it was clear she was unhappy
with her appearance. I could also tell that Char had kept Carrie on the
edge of orgasm, I knew exactly how she looked when she was kept 'needy',
to use Char's term.
Telling Carrie to remain where she was, I took Char by the arm and led
her to the mural room. Once we were out of Carrie's sight, I quickly
removed Char's bondage gear, which I now needed to put on Carrie. I put
Char's padded leather cuffs and collar on her, then we returned to the
bedroom, Char carrying Carrie's cuffs and collar.
I sat in a chair, and Char stood beside me. "Stop admiring yourself in
the mirror, Slut," I said, "come her and stand in front of me." Carrie
immediately walked over to me, but stopped a few feet away. "Closer, until
your legs are touching mine," I told her.
She took a step, and her bare knees were contacting my leather clad
knees. I reached out and cupped her vulva in my hand, then reached under
her crotch with my fingers. Simultaneously, I penetrated her ass with a
finger and her wet pussy with my thumb, causing her to jump. I probed both
of her openings until she moaned, then withdrew my hand.
Turning to Char, I said, "Collar her, and put on her manacles." Char
walked around behind Carrie and slipped the collar around her neck. She
had to stand on tiptoe and reach over Carrie's shoulders to close the
collar. When she heard the click indicating the clasp was locked, she went
to Carrie's left side and attached her left cuff. Then she did the same
with the right cuff.
I again covered Carrie's vulva with my palm, and pushed until she took
a step back and away from me. I stood up, turned her around, and clipped
her wrists together behind her back. Taking her by her labia, I led her to
the low backed chair and bent her over it. "Welcome to your new life,
Slut," I said, as I plunged my cock into her ass.
I slowly fucked Carrie's ass until I came in her. Then I pulled her
upright, spun her around, and made her kneel in front of me. "Clean my
cock," I told her, and she carefully took my cock in her mouth and
proceeded to clean it thoroughly. I wondered if she would try to get me
hard and suck me off, but she didn't.
When Carrie released my cock from her mouth, I turned to Char.
"Blindfold her," I said, "then take her back to the waiting room." Char
ran to the bathroom and returned with Carrie's blindfold. After slipping
it over Carrie's head and making sure it completely covered the eyes, Char
helped her to her feet. Then, holding Carrie by her pussy, Char led her
back to the spare bedroom.
A minute later, Char returned to me in the bedroom. She was smiling.
"How'd you leave her?" I asked.
"Blindfolded, cuffed, sitting on the edge of the chair. I told her not
to move, or else Pierre would beat her, then I gave her pussy a good
tongue lashing before I left her. Wanna taste?"
I held out my arms. She ran to me, and we hugged and kissed. "How's
your ass?" I asked her a minute later.
"A little tender, nothing to worry about," she said. "A long, hard
fucking would help me forget about it."
"I promised you a thorough fucking, but we're going to be too busy
until later tonight," I said. I looked at the clock, it was almost 6:00.
"You can relax and talk to me while I make dinner, then you'll have to
feed the victim."
When we reached the kitchen, Char asked if we could have some wine
with dinner. I had her open a bottle and pour one glass for the two of us.
She handed me the glass, and I raised it to her. "A toast to a fine
actress, an exciting lover, and an obedient slave," I said, then took a
Char curtsied to me. "Thank you, William. My proudest achievement is
being called an exciting lover by my wonderful Master. May I make a
toast?" I wasn't sure I wanted to hear her toast, nevertheless I handed
her the glass. She raised it to me. With a grin, she began. "To a talented
producer of quality pornography, a fine actor in his own right, the man
who made me want to fuck men again, the most considerate and studly lover
a woman could ask for, the Master who set me free, and the man I love."
She took a sip of wine as I bowed to her. "Studly?" I asked.
She giggled. "You heard me."
I kissed Char and thanked her for the fine toast, then she sat on the
stool and watched as I finished preparing dinner. Time was a factor, so we
ate at the kitchen counter. I let her eat half of her meal, with only a
few more sips of wine, then sent her to feed Carrie. After wolfing down
the rest of my dinner, I began gathering props for the big presentation
First I went to the basement and gathered up a flogger, a couple of
dildoes, some short pieces of rope, and a long chain. I paused for a
moment at the movie camera, but decided to leave it behind, concluding
that filming the presentation scene would just interfere with the action.
Instead I positioned it on the tripod so I could easily film Carrie's
dungeon scene, which would begin sometime on the following day.
In the bedroom, I picked out the mini skirt and blouse that would be
Carrie's slave costume. Returning to the living room with everything I had
gathered, I did my best to lay a fire in the fireplace. After threading
the chain through the eye-bolt I had installed high on the wall beside the
fireplace, I sat on the couch, trying to catch lost details as I waited
for Char.
I heard Char rattling dishes in the kitchen, then she joined me in the
living room. She walked up beside me, and I pulled her into my lap and
kissed her. Seeing the dildoes on the coffee table, she grinned and asked,
"For me? William, you shouldn't have."
"They're not for you, I've got yours in my pants, for later. Those are
some of Carrie's new Masters, whom she'll be meeting shortly. You're going
to be operating one of them, silently of course."
"None too soon," Char said, "the girl is in serious need of fucking."
"The whipping part of the scene is going to be pretty harsh," I said.
"She wants it that way, and I've decided to give it to her. In addition to
the real pain she'll be feeling, I'm sure she'll be overacting, convincing
herself that it's even worse. I don't need you for that part, and I think
you should wait in another part of the house."
"I want to be here, if it's Ok with you," Char said.
I gave her a serious look. "If you make a sound, or do anything to
distract her from her role, I'll make you regret it." I said.
"I understand," Char said. "If it gets to be too much for me, I'll
leave. I promise."
I pushed Char out of my lap and got up. "Bring me a glass of ice
water," I said, "then microwave what's left of your dinner and eat it.
Come back in here as soon as you finish." She went to the kitchen, and I
went to the fireplace and lit the fire. It only took two tries to get it
burning, not bad for a beginner.
Char returned with the ice water, and I told her to put it on the
coffee table. "I don't know how to use the microwave," she said. I took
her to the kitchen and showed her how to nuke her dinner, then I went to
get Carrie. On the way, I remembered that I had left the crop in the
bedroom, so I detoured to pick it up.
Carrie was positioned as I expected. She sat on the edge of the chair,
her back straight and her legs open wide, still wearing the blindfold and
her wrists still clipped together behind her back. Char had thoughtfully
put a towel on the floor under her pussy, and it was wet. Carrie's nipples
were rock hard, and her inner labia were puffed up to twice their normal
size. I tried my best to remember the words I had used at this point in
our first drama. In my gruff Pierre voice, I said, "Are you ready to begin
the life you were born for?" She turned her head toward the sound of my
voice. "Your new masters are eager to meet their new toy, it's time to
I walked over to her, grasped her by the shoulders, and pulled her to
her feet. She cried out when I pinched both of her inner labia between my
thumb and fingers, then again when I pulled her toward the door. She
quickly caught up with me, trying to relieve the pain I was causing, but I
continued pulling her labia until we arrived at the living room.
The fire was burning nicely, and Char was standing against the wall,
watching. I announced to the nonexistent masters, "Gentlemen, may I
present tonight's entertainment, your newest trainee. Her name is O." Then
I let go of Carrie's labia and quickly walked around the couch.
Walking up to her from the opposite direction, I said, "Come to the
fire, my dear, let us take a closer look at you." I grasped her left
nipple tightly and pulled her into motion, guiding her around the couch to
the fireplace. I turned her with her back to the fire, then released her
nipple. She stood still with perfect posture, but she was trembling. I
could see her breasts and her lower lip quivering. Her breath was coming
in short, ragged gasps. Her pussy juices were slowly running down her
I stood silently, watching her, for almost a minute. Finally she took
a deep breath, sobbed once, then seemed to gather herself up and regain
control. "Fear becomes you, my dear," I told her, as I briefly caressed
one of her breasts. Then I picked up the glass of ice water, and began
pacing back and forth around the room. I had used this same technique the
first time, trying to plant the suggestion that there were many people
present, at various places in the room.
After letting her hear just the sound of the tinkling ice water moving
around the room for a minute or so, I began talking about her, as if a
conversation were in progress.
"Before we do anything else, we should give her a good whipping."
"Whipping, or spanking?"
I laughed. "If you want her spanked, let Pierre do it. I want to whip
her until she bleeds."
"Look at those beautiful, trembling breasts. They need to be whipped
hard." As before, this bit of conversation caused her to gasp. I was going
to make sure she experienced some of what she dreaded tonight.
"Turn her around, let's see the other side." I put my hands on her
hips, causing her to jump. I forcefully turned her around so she was
facing the fire.
"Look, faint bruises. She was caned some time ago. Maybe we should
refresh those marks, they're almost faded out." Again she gasped.
"Bend her over, spread her legs." I bent her at the waist and nudged
her feet apart with my foot.
"Look at those tiny rings. We'll replace them with bigger, heavier
"We've wasted enough time already, who cares about her rings? I want
to fuck her and then whip her."
I positioned the footstool between the coffee table and the fireplace.
Moving Carrie to the end of the stool, I forced her to kneel and spread
her legs, then tied each leg to a foot of the stool, just above her knee.
When both legs were secured, I bent her over onto the stool and released
her wrists. Pulled her arms down to the floor, I secured each wrist to a
leg of the stool, thus immobilizing her.
After walking around her for a minute, carrying the glass of ice
water, I set the glass down and knelt on the floor behind her ass. I
caressed her ass and thighs for a moment, then simultaneously plunged my
thumb into her ass and three fingers into her sopping wet pussy. She cried
out, and I laughed. "She's more than ready, who wants to be first?" I
I pulled my fingers out of her pussy, but left my thumb in her ass.
after rotating my hand out of the way, I slammed my cock into her pussy
until I felt my balls slap against her thighs. I pulled back until just
the head of my cock remained in her, then I slammed into her again. Her
whole body spasmed as she orgasmed. She bucked so hard that the end of the
stool her hands were tied to came off the floor. Her whole body was
shaking violently for a few seconds, causing the feet of the stool to
chatter against the floor. Then she calmed somewhat, and began having less
violent tremors every few seconds.
During her orgasm, I did my best to maintain a steady rhythm of long,
hard strokes. In a few more seconds she had settled down, although I still
felt the tremors through her ass and the convulsions within her vagina.
Just when her tremors had almost stopped, she came again. The second
orgasm wasn't nearly as violent, but her tremors and the rhythmic pulsing
of her pussy were just as strong as before.
I fucked her for perhaps 5 minutes more, and she had 3 more orgasms. I
decided it was time for a change, so I pulled out of her pussy and
immediately pushed a dildo into her ass. After establishing a rhythm, I
motioned for Char. She knelt beside me and seamlessly took over,
continuing to fuck Carrie's ass with the dildo. As I was standing to move
to her head, Carrie came yet another time. By now she was totally relaxed,
resting her body on the stool, her head hanging off the far edge of the
stool. She had given her body to her orgasms, and had no energy to spare
for anything else.
I knelt at her head. Grabbing a handful of her hair, I pulled her head
up. She automatically opened her mouth, and I shoved my cock to the back
of her throat. She closed her lips around my cock and tried to swallow it.
I immediately pulled out of her mouth. Still holding her by her hair, I
slapped her. This startled Char, who momentarily stopped fucking Carrie's
ass with the dildo. I gave her a dirty look, and she resumed her duties.
Returning my attention to Carrie, who also had been shocked by the
slap. I pulled her hair harder, and said, "Until your masters tell you how
they want you to fuck them, you're passive. I don't want a blow job, I
want to fuck your mouth. Do you understand?" She did her best to nod,
considering that I had a tight grip on her hair. I put my cock back into
her open mouth, and she remained still. "Squeezee your lips around it," I
told her, and she did. Still holding her by her hair, I began pumping her
head up and down on my cock, using her mouth to masturbate myself. I could
feel her tongue making incidental contact with my cock, but she did her
best to remain passive and relax. I continued pumping her head for another
minute, trying very hard to cum, so I could stop abusing Carrie. Finally I
felt the orgasm beginning to build, then a few seconds later I erupted
into her mouth. "Swallow it all," I told her, and she immediately began
gulping, trying to catch and swallow all the cum I was pumping into her
mouth. At the same time, she had another orgasm.
"Clean me off," I commanded when my spasms had stopped. As Carrie
finished cleaning my cock, I motioned for Char to stop fucking her ass and
remove the dildo. I untied Carrie's wrists from the footstool, motioning
Char to do the same with her legs. After reattaching her wrists behind her
back, I gently rolled Carrie off the stool onto the floor, then moved the
stool out of the way. Taking Char by the arm, I led her to the kitchen.
In the kitchen Char looked at me, unsure what I wanted. "Everything's
Ok," I said, "I just need a glass of water. You did fine. You couldn't
have expected the slap, I didn't know I was going to do it until it
happened." I poured a glass of water, then offered it to Char. She shook
her head, so I drank it myself.
She looked at me while I drank. "Did you have to treat her like that?"
she asked.
"Yes, I did," I said. "Reserve your judgement of me, until you ask
Carrie how she feels about what I did. If that disturbed you, you should
definitely be somewhere else for the next scene."
"Please, William, I want to stay," she said. "I swear I won't say or
do anything. Please don't make me leave. I'll be Carrie's witness. I can
tell her how it looked to me." In addition to her words, Char pleaded to
me with her eyes. I liked her last argument, about being Carrie's third
party witness, so I reluctantly told her she could stay.

Kyriala had this enormous smile on her face this morning. So did I. I kept catching sight of myself in various reflections in the Hearthstone. I tried to tell myself that it was just our joy at Kall and Laisa's announcement of betrothal but... was it because of the dreams I'd had the night before? Had she dreamed too? Oh… she wouldn't have dared… would she? Oh… oh… I thought to the night before Gan and Fara went away… and… well… it could be my memory of her sighs and moans that fueled my dreams… couldn't it?
I kept catching her smiling at me and turning away just as I looked up and I kept looking away just as I saw her turning to look at me. And smiling. She wouldn't have. She couldn't have. I… raised my fingers to my nose. There was no hint of the scent I'd found on them. Smelled like…almost like… no. There was no way that Farasha was here… did all girls smell like that… um… I… Ky was very casually dressed, with her hair gathered up in a classic 'tendrils falling' that absolutely had to have Skorsas's hand behind it somewhere.
I'd put my hair into a solas braid, though longer, since I'd learned to tie it back to train with Kall. I loved visiting Yeola-e. This morning I was able to watch the best in the country train with Virana-e, Kallijas, his teacher Azaila and the students at the school of the sword, along with Kall and my guard… The best warriors on this part of the earthsphere. I was no-where near the calibre to join that lot.
"I know you don't want to, Kall, but the winds should be good enough for you rise this afternoon." Niku was saying.
Kallijas had this goofy look on his face, blushing like mad, and he and Laisa had hidden their hands under the edge of the table and the cloth so they could lock their newly-allowed fingers together surrepticiously. Ky, next to me, smiled again and I caught a whiff of her… her perfume surely but she didn't wear perfume to breakfast… under the table her foot nudged mine. I found myself blushing and nudged back, trying not to show anything and somehow we ended up with our feet wrapped around each other. We had bare feet because we were flying and slippers were not necessary at the Hearthstone, even in the depth of winter and suddenly the room was even warmer.
"I… we have to get back. We'll have our families waiting for us on the Marble Palace roof, I'm certain."
Laisa smiled. Her hair was still in a solas style braid from her training this morning. She was able to train with the younger students at the School of the Sword. I had to keep reminding myself it was all right that she was better than I was at sword work. She wasn't going to 'take' anyone's attention away from me. She was just going to marry Kall. Or Kall was going to marry her. They'd be here after I ascended. I… really, really needed to ask Ky soon. I glanced over at her and found her smiling at me again, her foot warm against mine. It was as if I suddenly had more sensitive feet and my vile organs stirred.
I refrained from cringing, and did my best to remember the dream from last night and the scent of roses. If Ky had snuck in while I was asleep, nothing wrong or bad for either of us would have happened. I just hoped that… well, if she was smiling so much....
"Minis, you are just staring at your breakfast," Virana-e said. "How's the stomach?"
"Oh, fine!" I shook myself, glanced at Kall and Lai and then at Ky before shoving a spoonful of fruit into my mouth. "Mph… was… um… I was just thinking."
He had a hand across his mouth, smiling. "Ah. Well that's good. Oh, shoo, you silly bird." He took the young scarlet out of the dining room. "This one has to learn that no pets are allowed in here with the food."

Now that's what I call shopping ! June 26, 2007Posted by Rambling Man in General Bloggery, Ireland & the Irish.
Just look at the quality modern art piece that confronted me on my lunchtime walk yesterday. Only in Ireland could such mundane items be put together in such a loving and heartfelt way.
For the record, the contents of this misplaced Tesco trolley were : 3 orange traffic cones and one "No Parking" smaller cone, a green gas canister, a beer keg and a wonderful blue wooden pallet. The accompanying pink and mangy dressing gown decorated the piece wonderfully. The whole lot was polished off by being tethered to the nearby railings with red and white emergency plastic rope.
I was deeply touched by the symbolism of the piece. Then I went and had a sandwich !

In this entry, i'm going to introduce to you one of the items that will help you keep your makeup on all day!
You need two things:
1) a stippling brush
*this is just a dupe brush, any brand will do!*
2) a bottle of e*vian spray
*this retails for $5.90 @ W*atsons*
according to the label on the back of the spray, it says that with frequent use of this product, it increases your skin hydration by 14%.
Ok so normally people spray it directly onto the face, but after watching some videos online,
it seems that its better to spray it directly onto the brush.
So after applying ALL your makeup, take the spray and spray it onto your brush.
flick your wrist to get off the excess moisture,
then just dab it all over your face.
*repeat the steps if you feel like you need to reduce that powdery effect*
it prevents your makeup from having that powdery look after applying the makeup.
your makeup will even out and settle on your face perfectly.
I think this works well especially for those of you who use a powder based foundation.
And i do have to agree that this method really works!
My makeup doesn't slide off my face, and i don't sweat off my makeup.
*which was always the case in the past*
So i hope this helps!
Try it out and let me know how it works out!
