Hi! I've been lurking this site for a while. Only decided recently to join, being encouraged by transmutejun. Like the sense of camaraderie and acceptance in this group, so I think I found a nice fit! I think this is a great site! 
I'm looking forward in getting to know the rest of you!

Hi Summer! I'm so glad to see you here! We're a friendly bunch, I promise, if somewhat smutty. And I *know* you don't mind the smutty part. 
And I'll add my voice to Springie's: your fics are great!

Hello Summer39! Ive read your fics on fanfiction.net and enjoyed them. Welcome!
My smuttiness is currently confined to vague euphemisms (I will work on that) but I enjoy reading it.

If I drink enough wine, maybe then I could write proper smut -I can always fix the spelling and grammar the next day.

TJ-you are too funny! On good authority huh? Alright I do sort of start on a story and jump headfirst into another! I can't help it! I'm fickle! And if an idea pops into my head I find myself typing it before the muse leaves me. I even have a couple of more brewing within my twisted brain right now.
Thanks so much for the warm welcome Springie and Clouddancer!
Welcome, Summer.
It's good to see new faces around...
And a Swan too??
This oughtta be interesting...
Didn't mean to exclude you lborgia88. Please forgive me-Thanks for welcoming me into the fold. And thanks for taking the time to read my work.
I'm a little nervous guys. So bear with me!
oops! double post....
Thanks Toneman!
Another Swan in the flock should prove interesting? Now I'm intrigued. I hope that's a good thing.

Swannies RULE!!!!!!!
Actually, the Swans are probably the most... uh... 'vocal'... on this board. And certainly we are the largest group.

Originally posted by lborgia88 If I drink enough wine, maybe then I could write proper smut -I can always fix the spelling and grammar the next day.So I have another wine drinker on the board...care to pop into the rubber room Snack J for a shout...we'll put it on the Eagles tab... Ebony bows her head low in shame and gives Iborgia a sad face ...grammar is not my strongest point...but I try really hard to get it right...maybe one day sigh!
Nice to know that you guys have a sense of humor too!So the Pink Ladies rule here huh? The guys might not mind having so many women in the driver's seat! At least we won't get lost! Just kidding!
And Hinotori we may be kindred spirits! I've a lot of ideas; and as mentioned before a bit of an attention deficit when it comes to working on just one story.So much to work with. I'm the same with reading-TJ's submitted so many that I find myself jumping from one great read to the next!
By the way Hinotori; LOVE YOUR AVATAR!

Your Eagle and Tone would get on well...
TJ finally got her stick onto you too, I'm actually surprised its taken you so long to join...your smut is great!!!
Well come on in, have a look around...since most here had read at least one of your stories your already home...
Warm hugs Summer
Originally posted by Transmute Jun Oh yes, most definitely! Everyone here bows to the wisdom of the Swannies!WHAT!?!? Bow?? Since when does the Eagle bow to the Swan?? And I know a certain Condor who probably feels the same way! Everyone bows to the Swannies... Yeesh, some Swans just have way too much Condor in them!
(Okay, now I've done it! The Eagles and Condors are going to come out of the woodwork to protest that one. And you *know* the Galactors are too!And I'm glad I was the one to lead the charge!! Of course it's only recently that there have been enough Eagles around to form a posse....

(Yes, I know, but we're already on page 2 of this thread, and there was no smut yet!)
Everyone bows to the Swannies... Yeesh, some Swans just have way too much Condor in them!Well, I'll freely admit to having a bit of Condor in me (Okay, *there's* another smut opening for all of you!

There's never 'too much' of the Condor, especially in me. Oh, wait, I'm back to smut again...

Someone else to bounce fic ideas off of and to read some more always a plus especially if it contains smut
I am probably better at romance than smut so I guess I will work on that. I too have many ideas and sometimes leaves fic s in the middle to run off and get down details on another. Currently it is my Beginnings series that is suffering lol.
I look forward to reading more of your work as I have really enjoyed what I have found on FF.net so far

Wow! Madilayn, Cep, Firebird, Kimiko-My cup runneth over with warm receptions! Thanks so much for allowing me within the realm.
I go to sleep, wake up, and discover a conversation has taken place that I would've loved to have been a part of. I've been lurking this site for a while-I take it smut is pretty big here, huh?
Now I know I'm going to like it here!
You're welcome Summer. Yes smut is very much enjoyed and apprieciated around here.
You can always add your belated 2 cents worth into any convo. Just play around with the 'quote' button even to any old thread.
Thanks Kimiko!
Now I really have to work on that area of my writing!
What's this I see??
Are the Swannies Eagle bashing now???
You saw what I did to that Devilstar Amy sent...
I think I'm more than capable....
You guys are too funny! And Toneman-I do believe that you could hold your own. That Devilstar probably never saw it coming! 
Yeah.. Noone likes a bomb stuffed down their shirt...
Ah but you should never compare a devil star wih a swan, right fellow swannies?
Not turning my back on the flock! I'd be afraid of the response!

Amy's just all talk...
She thinks she can get buck on me...
But she'll just get slapped down.
I'm not like Damien or Hino...
I'm not a passive Eagle...
I will whoop that ass as many times as it takes for you to learn to leave me alone...
I could do this all day...

Can't wait to read what'll happen when I return in the morning!

Record any necessary journal entry for Gateway Corp. ***** Given the following information for 2007, calculate the total amount of ISO Corp.s extraordinary items to be reported on ISOs 2007 Income Statement. Be sure to state whether the total is a gain or a loss. All numbers are before tax. Tax rate = 20% ***** This one was one of Springie's favourites: State the type of opinion the auditor would give under each of the following (independent) situations. a) Ken Industries has financial statements that present its accounting position fairly in all material respects. b) Eagle Corp. has never had an audit but requires one this year for the purposes of obtaining a loan from City Bank. The auditors have not found any problems with this years financial data. c) Mark Brothers lost all accounting data for the year when their computer systems crashed due to a virus. The data is unrecoverable. d) Washio Group has had many disputes with the auditors over its financial statements. Management refuses to change any accounting numbers, even though many are materially misstated. ***** Ace Company had $200,000 of accounts receivable on March 31st, 2007. Ace assumed that $50,000 of these receivables would not be collected; however no allowance had been set up for this amount. Ace needed extra cash and was contemplating different ways of obtaining the funds. There are others of course, but this is a sampling.....

I had another one somewhere about Racing Inc. owned by Condor Corp.
You know, I've written all kinds of themed tests: Ally McBeal, Young & the Restless, Seinfeld, Survivor, Star Trek, Amazing Race, etc. Heck, I even wrote a Brady bunch test. I only ever got called on the Seinfeld one.
I guess I'm just not into the same things my students are!

First of all if I know anything she probably does not have one in her classroom, it would be a white board brush. And second with all your pretty drawings she would keep you there just so she could look at them after class.

You would think after 13-15 years of education, and hearing that same rule every year, people would learn that basic rule wouldn't you??? but
they just do not get it.

I can also just stop talking until they leave, and trust me, the other students wil ltell them to leave! Fortunately, it never came to that.
I'd like to take your classes, Transmute Jun. It would be a nice change to learn something useful. What you teach sounds like the things that Controllers do. My accounting-type work at the country club usually ran to things like trying to get out all the 1099s each January, and discovering that individual/sole proprietors had been paid sums exceeding $600, left and right, and no one had bothered to make them fill out w-9s, or put their addresses and phone numbers into the A/P system. Or trying to straighten out A/P messes from the Pro Shop, because they'd approve invoices for payment and deduct the amount for merchandise they intended to return, and then when the credit memo came in the mail, they'd approve that too and the credit would end up in the system twice. Or trying to figure out why an event account was still open when the member in question said they'd sent a check, which had been cashed, and discovering that it had been misapplied because there were three different accounts set up for the same event, by three different people. I was the fixer of problems, among other duties.

Wow, Llborgia, that sounds like a real mess! Did you ever solve it or did you just run for the hills?
And if you want to drop by my classes, just LMK.
No, being the sap that I am, I would solve the messes by digging through old paperwork and making phone calls.
I would love to drop by your classes, but I live in the Midwest! In fact, I've only ever been to the West Coast once (3 days in San Francisco, 2004).
Originally posted by Transmute Jun I've never had to throw my whiteboard brush (you got it right, CD), and I've never had to kick a student out of class. I have however invited students to be quiet so everyone else could hear.Just jokes TJ...i bet you would be subtle, teaching Uni students would be different from high school... my maths isn't that bad...its the interest level thats lacking...I liked you post though about the companies...that was very clever! My Dh will sit and look at spread sheets on our finances for hours...I just want to know what is out outgoing costs to what we bring in, what is left over...That I can work with, he has it all detailed. It's one the things I love about him!

It's not that exciting, really. Let's see, some excerpts.... On December 23rd, 2008, Thaddeus Keane, Gateway Corp.s sole owner, purchased $1,800 of common stock in Gateway Corp. for cash. Record any necessary journal entry for Gateway Corp. ***** Given the following information for 2007, calculate the total amount of ISO Corp.s extraordinary items to be reported on ISOs 2007 Income Statement. Be sure to state whether the total is a gain or a loss. All numbers are before tax. Tax rate = 20% ***** This one was one of Springie's favourites: State the type of opinion the auditor would give under each of the following (independent) situations. a) Ken Industries has financial statements that present its accounting position fairly in all material respects. b) Eagle Corp. has never had an audit but requires one this year for the purposes of obtaining a loan from City Bank. The auditors have not found any problems with this years financial data. c) Mark Brothers lost all accounting data for the year when their computer systems crashed due to a virus. The data is unrecoverable. d) Washio Group has had many disputes with the auditors over its financial statements. Management refuses to change any accounting numbers, even though many are materially misstated. ***** Ace Company had $200,000 of accounts receivable on March 31st, 2007. Ace assumed that $50,000 of these receivables would not be collected; however no allowance had been set up for this amount. Ace needed extra cash and was contemplating different ways of obtaining the funds. There are others of course, but this is a sampling.....

I know when I', not wanted.... 
I have had some lectures in university "disturbed" in various ways. My BIGGEST peev? Shut off your damn cell phone!! There was one guy in my in one of my linguistics classes that actually answered his call and started having a convo! The prof went up to his seat, took the phone and spoke to whoever was on the other end and in her heavy russian accent says, "He is on my time, you may have him when I am done!....My name? Inga...*click*" I bet he was in the doghouse with the girlfriend for sure after that!
Another time...same class...about 15 minutes into the lecture this guy comes bursting in through the door to the lecture hall in total disarray, apologizing profusely and grabs a seat. A few minutes later he's trying to discreetly exit the hall...he's in the wrong class!!! LMAO!! Again with the russian accent, "What? Am I boring you?"
Another class, this girl screams hysterically. Some guy had brought a rubber snake in...well the prof blew her top!
Some people's kids!

Hmmmm! I do not remember anything like that happening in my university classes. Of course back then cell phones were not a big thing. We still carried those huge phones....
As for rubber snakes in class. I guess I did not attend any classes with the right kind of people. Now, if some of those Engineers or Foresters were in my classes it might have made it more interesting.
Yes, back when I was taking classes, no one had cell phones. I had a history prof once, for Reformation Europe, who wouldn't even allow coffee in his class -and it was at 8.30 in the morning! The final exam ended up being scheduled for 7 AM. I brought a BIG cup of coffee in with me that morning, I can tell you! I looked at him, daring him to say something, but he didn't say anything.
I was a late bloomer when I went....this was like '96...and I was 29. (I actually had to think about that)..LOL

I don't have too much of a problem with cell phones in the class. Occasionally one will ring but students turn it off or leave. Generally they don't leave because they know that I'm not very helpful for students who just decide to 'miss class'.
I do however have to ban cell phones during tests and exams. Students have been caught using the camera features to send questions to friends and receive answers.
Anything is possible TJ

Originally posted by Transmute JunI never even considered that. It is amazing what people try to get away with these days. I wonder if THAT is why schools are trying to ban them..... I know in my school we say no electronic gadgets, and we are a K-8 school.Originally posted by Firebird aww TJ you are wanted.

My tertiary education was at TAFE college. (I think you guys just call it college...I'm not sure but its not as intense as Uni...) Its nothing like Uni, no lectures for starters...it was very hands on.
I was into the Fashion courses, like pattern making, millinery,Visual Merchandising.
I did want to go and study theatre costume design but I needed money to pay for the course and the materials to make the gowns. But I have been in a theatre wardrobe dept for a day and loved it at the Sydney theatre company.
I worked with a girl from London who was the head wardrobe mistress as she called herself and she told me London theatre was the best place she ever worked and there was more work there than in Sydney...sigh!
She left the bridal shop to work for the Opera house...she said that it paid her more than she got in London...
So I made porcelain dolls and dressed then in period costume instead a few years later...
It funny that generally I'm not very good with maths but pattern making requires a lot of maths....but I just did it without thinking about...
