Daisy’s Secret
Daisy was a carpenter in Christchurch, a town renowned for its sceneries and toughness. Quietly she lived within the borders of a small, quaint workshop on the outskirts of the town, enchanted by days warmed by the soothing murmur of the saws and other days filled with the perfume of wood freshly cut. She took every piece she created as imbued with life, a secret that in her heart she kept, like the desire to love and be loved.

The Mug Awards
"Express Yourself!" they say. Yeah, right. There are times all I want to say is.*****. Well, I really can't and won't say it, but you, dear reader, know what I mean. Regardless of how people felt this last week, there's either an expression of grief or gloating. Neither side wants to hear either, except in the privacy of their safe groups where they can either glare or gloat.

Are You In Pain? Or Are You Just A Woman?
Introduction The experience of pain is universal, but how it's perceived, treated, and even questioned can vary dramatically based on factors like gender, race, and age. For many women, the struggle for adequate recognition and treatment of pain is a daily reality, compounded by stereotypes, biases, and misconceptions that have persisted for centuries. The phrase "Are you in pain, or are you just a woman?" may sound stark, but it echoes a painful truth about how women's pain is often dismissed, misunderstood, or minimized. In this article, we'll explore the complex dynamics surrounding women's pain, from the medical biases that persist to the societal attitudes that can contribute to an environment of disbelief.

They were the Best of Memes, They were the Worst of Memes
I'm seriously out of control! Someone should seriously stop me! I'm having too much fun! Okay. I won't stop. I published this stuff originally in a Place-That-Shall-Remain-Nameless (🤐the Journal Community) before there was a proper place at Vocal for comedy. Recently I've been migrating shit over here, where it belongs. I've updated this routine and removed all those contagious Covid jokes that weren't funny at all. All they did was cause inflation. My Bad. 🤷

A Love Beyond Words
A Love Beyond Words 1. The First Glance Riya had just moved to the bustling city of Mumbai for her first job. Life was new, fast-paced, and a little lonely. The chaos of city life overwhelmed her until the day she first saw Aarav at a café she’d begun frequenting. Aarav, a photographer by profession, always had a warm, welcoming smile for everyone. But when his eyes met Riya’s, there was a flicker of recognition, an instant connection neither could ignore. It was a silent glance that spoke volumes, and from that day on, they found themselves visiting the café, hoping for another encounter.

We Don't Stop Meme-ing Because It Grows Old; We Grow Old Because We Stop Meme-ing . Top Story - April 2022.
I've written several 'comedy routines' inspired by the memes I yank from my Facebook feed. I call this series Meme-ing For Laughs. I started writing this crap a long time ago, before Vocal had a Humor Community. I'm now in the process of migrating all those guffaws over here— to their proper place in the Humor Community! This one previously won a Top Story thingie!!! ⚡😁👍
