    Mixed Blessing

    8+ years ago I had to take Early Retirement. This incurs a financial penalty. They deduct a maximum of 25% from your SSI payment. :raritycry:

    Blocked!

    Extremeenigma02 has blocked me from posting on any of his stories & banned me from PM ING him to ask why.

    Damned if I can guess. Most offensive thing I posted on any of his stories was a list of some typos & a suggestion that he get a proofreader from The Proofreader Group

    Pet Peeves

    Supposedly, Hearth's Warming = Christmas.
    No it does NOT!
    Christmas is supposed to be about the birth of Jesus. Watch A Charlie Brown Christmas if you don't know that.

    Per the S2 E11 episode, Hearth's Warming Eve, it is about the tribes coming together to drive off the Wendigos and found a nation which (I suppose) eventually became Equestria.

    Military Service

    Elvis Presley was in the military in the 1950s John Wayne (famous for playing military roles & cowboys) was A3 (sole financial support of his family) & never served.

    Rudyard Kipling also never served (Wrote a LOT of military stories). Bad eyes + too old & married for WW1.

    Hemingway drove an ambulance in WW1 + was in Spain during the Fascist conquest.

    Stuff Learned Along The Way

    Arnold Shwartzeneggger almost turned down the role of The Terminator (arguably his most famous role) because the part had only 23 lines in the whole movie.

    Abraham Lincoln was a famous wrestler in his youth. He had only 1 loss in about 300 matches.

Different Takes On Equestria · 12:23am Oct 4th, 2023

Best of most different views of Equestria.
Petriculture Cycle
Petriculture & sequels by Kwakerjak
Pinkie is Twilight's imaginary friend. Discord is Celestia's imaginary friend.

The Maretian by Chris Overstreet
A sequel to Changeling Space Program.
The storm that stranded Mark Whatney on Mars was caused by the arrival of an Equestrian space craft.
Very helpful but not 100% necessary to have read Changeling SpaceProgram.

Mildly helpful to have read The Martian and/or to have seen the movie but by no means essential.

"Intern" by GapJaxie
An alternative view of the far future.

"Ms. Midshipmare Dash" by SockPuppet
A crossover between MLP & David Drake's Honor Harrington series. It is not essential to have some familiarity with Honor Harrington.

A sequel to Changeling Space Program by Chris Overstreet
It isn't 100% necessary to read CSP first but it is VERY helpful. It is useful to have read The Martian or to have seen the movie but I haven't done either & I liked it.

"Intern" by GapJaxie
A different view of the distant future.
