All of a sudden there's a "captcha?" to access the site when I'm sending a PM?

Disregard. I apparently included too much text in the PM I was sending.

I appreciate this is totally off topic, but there is no way I could not forward this link:

I haven't posted a story since the Christmas contest and this one is not an easy read. I do hope those that make it to the end enjoy it. My editor said I should have given the tissue alert, but I let it slide this time. Heck I had a hard enough time selecting the keywords for the header.

I may take this one down later as I was thinking this might be my first E-book. I would love to hear what the people here think of it as E-book material.

There is a 90% chance that Liam will arrive today...

So.... Happy BabyDay!

On Tuesday September seventeenth I was rolled into operating room number five Lower Bucks Hospital in Bristol Pennsylvania. When I left pro-op the nurses and staff wished me "Happy Birthday" I was told that the sedative I was given would take affect quickly. I awoke in my hospital room.
I had no surgical pain, but my legs felt as though they had played twister with them. I spent three days in the hospital and then was moved back to DR Leis's office and recovery room. Ten days after surgery I was released to go home.

Despite my ever-increasing middle age, today I learnt something new.

I was doing some research for Julia's planned #13 when the phone rang.

I had an idea come to me the other day and even though it might be an interesting write, I don't have the time for it. (I am still working on a much longer story).

Trying to find a story I read several years ago. Mom wants son to get a haircut, son refuses. Mom makes a deal, if he can keep his hair off his collar for 30 days he can keep it. Son learns a variety of updos with his mom's help. But one evening he and his mom are seen at a drive-in by two of the really popular girls when he has his hair in a Gibson Girl style. They recuit him to help them get away from their abusive boyfriends.

Much too hard to do this on the phone, see you all in the morning.

Hugs,
Erin

Have you ever wondered where I got the idea for Pipsy the Gatorade bottle.... well it was born from this commercial.

I have said here before that for most of my life I hated Halloween. I always felt like I couldnt go out as a girl because I might cause people to wonder about my masculinity, or rather my lack of the same.

But now, for some reason, I find myself wishing I could afford a costume and knew of a good adult Halloween party I could go to. But, lack of money, and lack of somewhere safe I could go means I will be on the sidelines when for the first time I actually want to be the game ...

ah, well.

Well, I do not know if Hackers are having their way today, or if the government is teaching us a lesson. I do not know how bad it will get.

I love you all.

Has anyone seen or heard from Aardvark. The last I heard of him was over a year ago and that he was looking at finishing a new story. Has anyone heard from him or anyone who knows him???? Readers want to know

Tom Clancy was my inspiration. It started with Red Storm Rising. I didn’t realize it at the time, but this was written by Larry Bond. Tom was the minor co-author. Regardless, I then read Cardinal of the Kremlin and Red October. Then, I followed the Jack Ryan sagas to the bitter end.

I was a techy. I had worked on several defense systems, all of which are now long gone. I’m a military brat and even lived on base for a couple of years. So, I had a background in the field.

I understand that my body is changing. I did not ask for it to change, it is happening anyways. My testosterone levels have been dropping for about ten years now (I'll be 57 in 2 months) and that is normal. But since my wife died 7 years ago I have not slept well. I usually get 3-5 hrs of sleep, in the past few months it's more like 3-6 hrs. Rarely do I sleep more than 6 hrs. I recently investigated the causes of low testosterone in men and found that age 40+ the levels decrease, this is natural.

Well, I was discharged yesterday (Weds 12th), a process that took all afternoon. I'm home and attempting to pick up the pieces of life again.

I'll draw a veil over the hospital experience since a lot of you have been there and done that. I'm just glad I wasn't as badly off as some of the other poor sods on my ward.

Hey Everyone!

The Baby is Coming!

Soon.... Actually.... Tomorrow!

Cat scan found no cats, colonoscopy found no punctuation marks, blood test shows lower sugar, eye test shows beginning cataracts but again, sadly no other cats than the two who already own our home. Back brace helps but my day was sponsored by the letter L and the number 7. But.... I know who I am and how much of Andrea remains a vital part of me.... so......

As some of you may or may not know, I've been working extremely hard on the next great trans novel. It is a good story, about a middle school teacher and a troubled student with a panache for misbehaving. They butt heads in the beginning of the book until the teacher realizes the kid is harboring a secret and his tough guy image is just a facade to keep people from finding out the truth about him.
