Title: Moving Forward Series Part 04 - Chapter 29 - Confrontations
Author: othermewriter
Chapter Rating: PG   - Series Rating: Adult
Characters: 9/Rose Disclaimer: not mine, and so not making money from this I try not to dwell on it too much :(
A/N: As always my deepest gratitude to lostwolfchats Who continues to hang in there with me as my awesome beta and who I can never can thank enough for her wonderful feedback without which this would not be nearly so readable!  Also many thanks to you my patient readers who have stuck with this long epic.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Everything has been so chaotic since we landed and watch through Rose’s eyes as Theta puzzles at the problem of why the werewolf has moved off and I wonder what it is he has thought of has he contemplatively touches a carving of mistletoe on the door.

I can practically feel him thinking through the legends about werewolves as he suddenly turns to Sir Robert “Mistletoe... Sir Robert, did you father put that there?”

The poor man looks dejected and confused I feel sorry for him all the more so knowing how short is his time as I hear him respond. “I don't know, I suppose...”

Was I the only one who thought the red knave looked like Guy of Gisborne? :D

( Spoilers! )

It's been making the rounds, but if you haven't seen this yet, please do. It's short, it's funny, and it's about chemistry. As in science geekery. I mean, how much better can it get? :)

In short my life has taken a turn 4 the obnoxious. My right hand & arm are messed up and although I am amadexterious it is very tedious having to do most stuff left handed (like this post via my palm) hopefully by am it will have improved, otherwise tomorrow will again be horenous at work. 42 boxes mostly books & gardening getting ready to move has left me with swollen hands & bruised & aching right arm/hand which even when immobile is a misery.
Waaaah off to find pain killers & sleeping pills. Will post chapter as soon as bod allows. :(

It's been a very busy week in my neck of the cyberwoods. This weekend my family celebrated my grandmother's 90th birthday. We had a whole weekend's worth of parties, and guests from all over the US. It was a lot of fun, but exhausting.

The Birthday Girl and my mom-- just a little resemblance, no? ( Chrystal's 90th )

However there's no internet access at my grandmother's house. My mom and I did an overnight to Canon Beach, but aside from the slow as molasses WiFi at the hotel there I've been amputated from the interwebs for the last 5 days, and I'm horribly behind on LJ. I made it back to about "skip 100" and gave up. If I missed something I should know about I'm sorry!

On another note, there's been more medical drama in my life lately. I knew I had an enlarged thyroid, but in the process of working up my cough from hell this winter my new primary care doc sent me off to have it worked up again. I had a biopsy last week, and thankfully that came back with no cancer cells. It's starting to obstruct my airway though and I'm going to have to have it out. I'm a little nervous. I'm hoping they can save the left lobe (which is enlarged, but not wacky huge like the right lobe) I'm not thrilled with the though of having to take thyroid hormones for the rest of my life.

But I get to sleep in my own bed tonight. Woohoo!

We're going to keep this short and sweet (Frank and birthday vgifts will be back next week). You've probably seen the updates to our main menu. Don't be alarmed. You'll find everything you need, just in slightly shifted format. Just so you know, we based these changes on input from both experienced and new users who were not familiar with LiveJournal. Our goal was to reduce barriers to usability and make LiveJournal more accessible and easy to navigate. Please note that this is a work in progress. We welcome your detailed suggestions in feedback. We thank you, in advance, for helping us improve your LiveJournal experience.

We've updated the global navigation menu:

Here's a quick breakdown of what you'll find where:

• Scrapbook can now be found under Profile (thanks for your feedback, btw), along with Settings, Stats, and Edit Profile.
• You'll find all the tools you need to post and update entries under Journal, which includes posting and editing entries, managing comments and tags, and customizing your journal's style.
• Friends contains all of your friend settings, from filtering your Friends page to adding, removing, and finding new and existing friends on LiveJournal.
• Under Communities, you'll find links to manage your communities, accept community invites, and create new communities.
• Explore includes search features, RSS feeds, Question of the Day, and FRNK radio.
• Under Shop, you'll find links to upgrade or give a paid account, buy virtual gifts, purchase LiveJournal merchandise (like T-shirts), and view your payment history.

LiveJournal Mobile update:

We've enhanced LiveJournal's mobile site to improve usability and load times. We've made more of LiveJournal's features accessible via mobile, including posting comments, uploading photos, reading and commenting on friends' posts, finding and messaging friends, and more. We look forward to reviewing your feedback and recommendations for future improvements.

Other important changes:

• You can lock comments to prevent further commenting on a post, while leaving existing comments visible.
• We replaced the "Tell a friend" link with a new "Share This" widget that lets you share LiveJournal posts on other social media sites, including Facebook, Digg, Twitter, etc.
• We changed some of the icons on entries (you can hover over the icons to view descriptions).
• You'll see a Tag count on your Tag management page.
• You'll now see the 10 most recent vgifts on your profile page. To remove vgifts, left-click on the vgift and choose whether you want to remove the vgift from your profile or delete it entirely.
• We've added options to help you control receipt of vgifts, which you'll find in My Stuff under Edit Profile. You can now enable vgifts from friends or everyone and disable anonymous vgifts.

We've got your fix:

• UPDATE: Rolling several updates into one listing here -- 1) Scrapbook should be back and working again. 2) The problem with the Update Journal page in IE6 and IE7 should be fixed now. 3) The problem with the userpic add-on package pricing has been fixed and refunds issued to anyone who was overcharged while the erroneous prices were in place.
• Non-conforming images will now be automatically resized for custom mood themes.
• Line breaks no longer count as two characters against your entry's character limit.
• We fixed a bug on the Manage Tags page so you can clear all tags and add new tags.
• We corrected the UI for the update.bml page so it displays properly in IE8.

Thanks again for joining us. Frank and company will be back next week!

Happy birthday 16s16!!!!!!!!
