Going over my script. Think it's actually pretty good. Gonna tweak a few things when I get off work, then resubmit an updated draft.
What about you, Jeff? You get that beast hammered out yet?
No, bad night. My garage freezer tokk a shit and we lost hundreds of dollars of frozen meat and seafood, and spent hours trying to save what we could. They're not coming to fix it until Monday, so we have everything we could saved crammed into our remaining 2 freezers and that's not good.
Nothing written at all, and no real thought about it this week.
I'm pretty sure he hammered the beast last night, and every night. My money's on a blank page though.
I got hammered last night, but you are correct - blank page...or even worse, screenwriting software hasn't even been opened up yet and I have a Dental appointment this afternoon.

This ain't looking good.
Did you scream when you noticed the freezer which only one 1/2 of another couple heard?... could be the start of things right there
Two more days with the Grandsons before they leave - a hectic week. They are 4 and 6 and move around like cats with shock collars - Grandpas' knees, elbows, arms, ankles - et al have never been sorer. But a delight to have. Anyway - they're out with Grandma right now so thought I'd check in to wish everyone entering good luck.
Of course, I though the best story premise was here:

An aging, weight-laden man just off of dental surgery and ripped from a combination of beer and Oxycontin hears a muffled scream emanating from the basement freezer.
His long suffering girlfriend, convinced that he's lost his marbles years ago, let's him explore that basement alone. He creaks the freezer lid open and discovers --
SATAN'S ORPHAN! His only chance at survival - ignore it and move on like any rational person would . But he can't. He just can't! It's kill or be killed time now.
He hears his girlfriend yell as she slams and locks the basement door - "I'm out!" This is Crap!"
Our drunken hero's eyes narrow as he returns his gaze to the freezer holding the demonic orphan.....

I’m still horrified about a whole freezer of meat and seafood going to waste. But inspired by Jeff having two other freezers to save it. Talk about high steaks! There’s a feature there ...
Ok, I've run out of time, so I have entered what I have.
Having been out of this for some time, my thick skin seems to have gone. Im all very nervous.
Please may folk;
1] be kind
2] be kind...to me
3] be tolerant of those who have made some format mistakes etc
4] don't have a fit over different interpretations of the criteria
5] enjoy the script for what they are - most are written with passion and effort
otherwise, I look forward to seeing what emerges tomorrow
thanks don, Steven
PS - nice to be back - well until I read Jeff's comments
Regarding number 3... you really should put periods at the end of all your sentences. Plus, capitalize the first word of every sentence. This is basic stuff. Makes me question your dedication to the craft.

Got mine finished now but it's only 6 almost 7 pages long. Will try and stretch it out where I can though. 7 hours left so I should be able to think up some sort of filler.

The freezer that died is a standup, full size freezer. The "other" 2 freezers are simply regular refrigerator/freezers, meaning not much room in the freezer section.
I think I need a 3rd fridge/freezer. I need lots of food to keep my weight increasing.
