Thanks a lot, Grant! I hope you like it.Based on a stellar review by TN, I've now downloaded this to my Kindle Fire Ricky - I'm really looking forward to reading it mate !!!
A NEW GAME BEGINS
In all fairness, Ricky, since IMC is reportedly going to be "published" shouldn't it be considered "Professional"? I mean I know I paid for it!!! Now, Shannon may have hit a few "hiccups" but it will be released so that makes it a "publication", no? I mean lots of folks here have paid good money for it!!! Plus, he made an awesome "HF" donation from the proceeds. Give him some love!!!! My "Secretary of Propaganda"!!! LOL LOL LOL20 words? I've never heard of that. That's kind of dumb.

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Oops LOL
You mean ESTABLISHED markets..
Well dont give up. I like what I read and I would love to see more.
reality continues to ruin my life
Yeah, I meant professional paying markets. I thought IMC was providing a contributor's copy rather than paying for stories.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Well, you are of course correct. I do not believe "IMC" was paying for stories, but that should not stop you. If you have a story, submit it and it may be "published". That's a good thing, right? Beside's as my "Minister Of Propaganda" It's kinda your "duty" LOL LOL LOL

True but perhaps the paying market will become more and more forgiving as you accumulate published stories
reality continues to ruin my life
Ugh. My great uncle is in hospice care with only days left to live.
My dad and I went to see him tonight.
He was still in better shape than we expected and pretty talkative, but it's still brutal when you know you are saying your final farewell to someone.

Super sad news...
Yes, very much so...

So sorry to hear that.
Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
About 2 years ago, my girlfriend bought me a "smartbox", one of those boxes with deals on activities. She bought one for sky diving as i always wanted to do so. It was also a good incentive for me to lose weight as most of the sky diving companies only allow under a certain weight... which i was above. I have to use it before october.
Those last few months, with the support of a nutritionnist, i lost about 10kg (i still have some to lose) . And now it looks like that i am may be able to do so within the next few weeks. Currently dealing with the organisation

Just make sure that the discounted deal included a parachute...About 2 years ago, my girlfriend bought me a "smartbox", one of those boxes with deals on activities.

Scoogs, I wish you and your family all the best!
Many of you know that I was trained as a biologist (MSc/PhD). Some of you also know that I slowly but steadily moved away from doing research, mostly because of poor job opportunities in my field. At 38-going-on-39 years old, I now have a desk job at a funding agency for scientific research.
Over the past couple of years I developed a great interest in health and nutrition. This week - inspired by an extremely bold decision of a friend of my wife (they're colleagues at a large chemical/biotech company) to quit her job and start medical school at the age of 38(!) - I decided to 'make a change' as well. If all goes as planned, I will be enrolling in a preparatory year for a degree in osteopathy (I will continue working at my current job). If I decide to continue after the prep year I'll have six more years to go before receiving the degree. I am very excited!
It's very much possible that 'life' will get in the way eventually, but at least I will know I've made an effort to pursue something I feel passionate about! And if I succeed I'll be able to start my own practice at age 45/46 and work on improving the quality of life of other people for at least 20-25 more years.
Sorry for this very long and perhaps a little too personal of a post, but I wanted to get it off my chest
Thank you for 'listening'
Wish you the best of luck, Michaël.
