WELCOME TO THE PUB-VERSE

Hello Everyone, I am sorry this week's Chatter is very short and late.  We are having quite a bit of heavy rainfall and flooding in my area, along with some sever winds and lightning.  So, I am just getting the most important bits out to you just in case my power goes out again.

On top of all of this Wattpad has been down for a good part of this afternoon, so thank you all for your patience and understanding.
