Thoughts go out to the friends and family of everyone onboard flight MH17.
I am literally going insane with excitement! I can't wait to see it! :)
cmon guys, how many oncers are out there?
Would love to see a Season 2! Please watch! :D
I feel like i should make this post, because not a lot of people seem to realize that Emerald City only has ten episodes this season. We’re almost already halfway through.
“Awesome! Season 2!” you might be thinking.
WRONG.
As of yet, they haven’t started filming a second season, and we don’t know if they ever will. The ratings are actually quite low, and unless Tarsem decides to say “fuck it” and make another season anyway, we’ll never get to see how the story continues.
We won’t have any more Dorothy and Lucas.
We won’t have Tip or Jack or West.
We won’t see any possible new character like maybe The Patchwork Girl or Shaggy Man. And unless they wrap everything up in the final episode–which I have no idea if they will or not–we may be left with some cliffhangers.
I don’t want to be left with possible cliffhangers. I want to see Dorothy and Lucas and Tip and Jack and West’s stories continue.
Because of the shitty ratings, our only choices are to GET MORE PEOPLE TO WATCH THE SHOW. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your local bookseller. We NEED more people to tune in so the network will consider keeping it.
Another option is to campaign on Twitter. We should be starting a #SaveEmeraldCity or similar hashtag to get the attention of the writers, actors, and director.
Guys, I know it still feels premature–the show’s only been on for four episodes–but it’s already almost over, possibly for good. Don’t fall asleep on the wheel. If you’re already as connected to the characters as I am, help me save them.
The “Save Net Neutrality” bill was just introduced to Congress. You know what this means? WE HAVE THE BIGGEST CHANCE TO GET OUR INTERNET BACK.
We can only have a chance if you contact your reps NOW and SUPPORT THE BILL. The Bill has been assigned to the House Energy & Commerce Committee.

Chapter 9
Early January 2016
One of the many things Emma loved about the old Victorian she lived in was the round room, situated at the very top. Sarah had turned it into the perfect quiet space. A place to come if you wanted to read a good book or if you needed a place to think and didn’t want to be found. It was a space freely used by all the tenants and by an unspoken rule the only place in the house that was considered ‘unplugged‘. No phones or computers and conversation was kept to a minimum. Truly a place of peace.
Feeling the need to connect her thoughts and see if she could come up with a solution to help Blue, she set her phone on the table, grabbed an extra sweater and ran up the stairs. Since the room wasn’t regularly heated, she cranked up the radiator and flipped the switch for the small gas fireplace. Pulling on her sweater, she settled in her favorite overstuffed chair and stared out the window at the grey clouds replaying her phone call with Blue.
“……..you remember, Neal, right?”

A man stopped by the Applebees that fired that waitress for posting the receipt from a pastor who didn’t want to give her a tip. This was the letter he left. It reads:
Dear Applebee’s:
Let me cut to the chase: I find your termination of Ms. Chelsea Welch (an otherwise excellent and hard working employee) downright deplorable and appalling. As far as I’m concerned, she did absolutely NOTHING “wrong” when posting the image of that receipt with that insulting comment made by the customer Pastor Alois Bell.
First off, there was absolutely nothing mentioned in the employee handbook admonishing this kind of behavior, but more importantly (if you wish to argue otherwise) just how much “personal information” could have possibly been divulged to the public just by the customer’s signature? NOWHERE was the customer’s full name, credit card information, address or even YOUR restaurant’s name indicated on the photograph of that receipt which is far more incriminating and potentially damaging information than just a signature alone.
How is a mere signature going to help a criminal commit an act of identity theft? Local health inspectors and fire/safety inspectors have their signatures prominently displayed on certificates posted publicly by restaurants like yours… can THEY complain that you publicly displayed their “private information”?
As far as I’m concerned the only “damage” done was to the pastor’s shallow and “precious” ego. Nothing more, nothing less. She could’ve have simply ignored the post, not said anything and just went on with her cheap and inconsiderate, stingy ways. No one would’ve been the wiser. But no. She HAD to complain to the manager and have an otherwise fantastic employee fired simply because she was embarrassed.
Ms. Welch did absolutely NOTHING to publicly embarrass/humiliate her…. MS. BELL DID. And cared more about her ego than actually righting a wrong and offering to not only fairly tip what was rightfully due to Ms. Welch, but fight to get her re-hired. Ms. Alois Bell, the pathetic excuse of a human being she is, did absolutely NONE of that… and YOUR company has the NERVE to stand by her side???
As a part time pizza delivery driver myself, I KNOW first hand what its like to work for a less than minimum wage depending almost entirely on tips just to pay basic necessities such as food and rent. Yeah, I get the “average” principle and try not to take the occasional stuff so seriously, however, on some really bad days when I have runs that I have to drive far, using MY personal vehicle and MY personal gas, and get nothing, its not only very frustrating but completely unfair that I get taxed at federal minimum wage rate when [I’m] actually making LESS in that hour delivering to these inconsiderate customers who have no clue as to what SERVICE is all about. Essentially getting taxed on money that I’m NOT making. And THIS is what your company CONDONES and is PROUD OF?!?!?!
Long story short: I have come to your Easy Brunswick/Milltown restaurant NOT to order anything…but to simply use the restroom, get my complimentary water with lemon and just LEAVE but not without generously tipping your server for doing nothing more than bringing me menus and water.
Furthermore I promised the server that should this letter appear online and go viral, that I’ll be returning to the store and DOUBLING his/her tip. And since he/she has my full permission and consent to post this letter online with MY NAME and signature fully visible, there isn’t ANYTHING that you can do about it.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully,
A now FORMER customer of yours,
