I'd like to thank those of you who've prayed for me or the past 3 weeks. I have recovered as well as to be expected. Thank you.

I believe strongly in the power of prayer. And I have a prayer request for you all. My youngest brother, Jeff, is in the hospital. His kidneys have ceased functioning. He has a perforated intestine.
They are trying to match up a life flight with a hospital near that can handle his condition.
Thank you for whatever prayers you might have for Jeff.
If you were wondering what that scream was you heard about an hour ago, it was me.
See at that point I realized that I left (hopefully) the flashdrive with all my stories on it, in my computer at work. At least I hope that's where it is.
As a result the next part of my little story will not be posted until Monday.
It's a line from the movie, "Judge Dredd". Hershey's apartment's been trashed, the whole Judicial system's turned upside down, etc. and she thinks Dredd's a part of it. But it was the most appropriate quote I could think of to properly convey how I feel right now
I had a request for this just as I was about to start writng it! Spooky..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War
is a quick reference to the main events in the real world and the setting of my story. Here are a few key words
LCU a type of landing craft
I feel like I am running of fumes, trying to hold on by hook and by crook until I get some help. I feel like I am fading, and I honestly don't know what I can do now.
Yes I know that by now you may be tired of reading about the Gabycon that happened last weekend. However I enjoyed it so much I had to just have to write it down and share it with you.
Its been a few weeks since i posted anything and as Gabycon attendees have already had it read to them i thought it only fair to distribute my largese!
This is a new occasional series that takes its basis and some of its storyline from the cancelled Tokyopop Manga, Yubisaki Milk Tea by Tomochika Miyano. It’s a great series and well worth looking out, it’s a mystery why they cancelled it. For my version I’ve changed the setting from Japan to England and of course the names, then I’ve added some new characters and situations to produce Jamie and the Peach. The original series was cancelled before completion but I intend to take my version somewhat further!
There's nothing wrong it's just a mental energy break while I'm dealing with the busiest time of my years workwise with student frosh going on. I'm still going to plug away though but without any self imposed deadlines.
...Is what happens in between making plans and realising them. Mine has been rather fraught since my aunt, who has lived with me since 1987, was taken ill during the Gabycon and gave extra stress - I ran on adrenalin for a few days.
She still isn't right and being elderly, this could become a chronic thing or worse, something life threatening. Meanwhile I'm trying to work full time, do the household chores and some writing when I have time.
It's all time consuming and stressful, so if Bike doesn't appear, it's because either something has worsened or I'm too cream crackered to write.
As some of you may know, I have started posting poems on this wonderful website and am now progressing onto a larger story. The story is a fan-fiction/canon of The Center by Lilith Langtree; I have completed the introduction and first chapter of the story. Anyone who is interested in helping me with issues such as grammatical errors, major plot wholes, and polishing, please send me a message.
Christmas Day will never feel the same — it seems like it’ll be a birthday for me too.
I didn’t go mad with the food as one would expect as I was a bit out of it…..
The Professor wrote the Diety Arms 1-2-&3 and they are great stories and Barbie Lee wrote 4&5 . The Professor commented that he had hope for it to be a series like THE CENTER is turning out to be but that because no one knows NYC it did go anywhere , well Barbie Lee wrote 2 great stories and did not mention locationsin NYC so I hope that some of you Great authors will pick up on this and write some stories using the charactors from
Diety Arms HERE HOPING RICHIE2
I think some of you need to do this, considering some of the pics I see for the stories I see here. Sadly, I can not find properly attired Binti clothing. Haraam Haraam !
I was flipping through channels last night when I happened to come across a great show on MTV called "If You Only Knew Me" A team of counselors goes into different schools and seeks to unite the school and break up the various cliques that exist by showing them they have more in common than they think. In last night's episode, they went to Neenah High School in Neenah, Wisconsin. There were the usual Jocks, Preppies, Stoners and EMO kids.
The headline just about says it all. The weather gods were mostly beneficent, except I got ice cream in my hair walking across Lulworth Cove thanks to the breeze. The pictures on Maddy's site show the area in which I'm privileged to live, so I hope you have a look at them.
Plus there's the continuation of the race Drew began in the previous episode - it's a corker!
For those too lazy to find the site, here's a link:
After a few months of quiet (okay my computer was down) I am back online. My operations were successful and I am back among the living. The operations were ... well they took more out of me than I expected and I am recovering and getting ready for the next phase of my life.
Since Mads and Bev have given their 2p worth, I thought I'd join the club - but to be different, I'll give a rough outline of the weekend's events. I've also deliberately left a lot of it vague, to both tease you and not spoil things in case any of the other attendees decide to write in more detail about proceedings.
Saturday, 5am.
The things I do in the name of fun... waking up at a ridiculously early hour on a weekend to travel half way across the country to spend a weekend with a bunch of random people I've met on the internet. On the one hand, I'm a little nervous and apprehensive (for a variety of fairly obvious reasons); on the other I'm excited about finally putting faces and voices to some of the people whose writing I read every day here on TopShelf.
Oh, and there's also the small matter of this being the third bunch of random internet strangers I've met - the first being regulars on this blog (and what could be stranger than fans of a blog of a radio news magazine show?!); the second being fans / participants of this project held last year.
For the last several days, I have noticed that BCTS is slow to completely load at times. Oh, it eventually does, but I just noticed the change. No complaint really. Are there current issues in the air or is it just this infestation of Ohio fall bugs. It reminds me of stories I have heard about Midges.
Here is a very brief history of when seamed pantyhose was first introduced in the United States. Maybe people who leave comments about stories should do their research first. And yes they did have seamed pantyhose in 1961. The seamless pantyhose is what was first introduced with the introduction of the min-skirt. I know how to do my research. Does anyone else? Sorry Stanman and Gabi...but your comment that you left to my story So You Want To Be A Girl, Do You, was only partly right.
It Seems that now my fic has gone to 5 chapters and is going to more than that, someone has decided to write story set in my Fan-fic universe - im highly honored
If you want to write a fanfic for this universe there are some rules
No more time travel - unless u come up with a good reason
You cant write about any characters i have already mentioned but they can be mentioned as plot if needed
You cant write about the head of duel academy or 3 Egyptian god cards
Transgender issues in the workplace: HRD’s newest challenge/opportunity by Debra Davis (2009)
“The purpose of this article is to present insights from a transgender woman to HRD scholars and practitioners, along with all organizational members, to help them understand the myriad of considerations involved in this emergent workplace issue” (Davis, 2009, p. 110).
As I progress Out of the Ashes, I'm going to start involving one or two characters from other stories, in cameo appearances. In order to make sense of the whole who-knows-what-and-when thing, I've decided to apply a SLIGHT retcon to my original story, in order to fit the events in with the existing stories. Somehow I slipped up with this the first time around.
Finally, the dance is coming to an end. The caller has asked for a Circassian circle, and promised some polkas to round off the evening. I have one more chapter to write and Steph will have come to her destination. Episode 53 should be the final part of my story. Thank you all for your patience and kindness.
I used to listen to Charlotte Church when she was young and thought that her singing was wonderful. For me it was disappointing to see her transition into other music but that is her right if she wishes.
Accidentally, early this morning around 2:00 AM, I discovered Katherine Jenkins! I think the wiki said she is Welsh, but I do not remember clearly because of the hour. Did I hear her sing Ave Maria in Welsh? I would not know, because I neither understand Welsh nor Italian.
I am quite sure that some of you have doubts about my loyalties because I am Muslim. And, in light of the actions taken by a few pseudo Muslims, one would think that the rest of us Muslims would really pitch in solidly to rid the world of this vermin. I served during the Vietnam War, and the fact that I did not go "In Country" sometimes makes me feel like an interloper when I see myself honored alongside those who actually saw combat.
I was thinking this morning, and wondering why the ret-con stories are so popular, and why so many of us seem to love comic books. Well, I cant speak for anyone else, but for me, i have realized i have something in common with most super heroes, and thats the fact that I too, have a secret identity. Just like most heroes have to hide their true selves, I also have to keep my true self a secret. The difference is where most heroes don't want or plan to integrate their 2 sides, I hope someday that I will be able to take off my mask, and show my real self to the world.
