For GLBT Jews in the South Bay (San Francisco) Area

I just received this email:

Just a reminder that this Saturday is the fourth annual South Bay Pride Shabbat. Please include this information in your community news section or forward to interested congregants. Many participants in previous years are not GLBT themselves but straight allies or family members.

Congregation Shir Hadash, Temple Emanu-El, and Congregation Emeth invite you to join us for the 4th Annual South Bay Pride Shabbat. The service will be held on Saturday, June 5th, at 10:30 am at Congregation Shir Hadash, 20 Cherry Blossom Lane, Los Gatos.

Sixth Anniversary Of Starting HRT

Today(June 1st) is the sixth anniversary of my first shot of Estridiol Valerate and the 20th anniversary of my graduation from High School. I can't believe it has been that long. I can say that I feel truly blessed to be here living this moment now. It took me 33 years before I started, but I can honestly say, I wouldn't trade this journey for anything. I have wonderful friends here on BCTS and wonderful long time friends from High School that are still with me for this. I consider myself to be a very blessed woman indeed. Thanks for being there with me. Here's to many more wonderful years.

Intro by Carla Ann

“Tiffany, I’ve asked you how everything is going with people and the activities you’re involved in, but you haven’t mentioned how you are coping with everything.” She emphasized the ‘you,’ when she asked that.

“Well, better than I was last year,” I started. “Way better than last year… I have a lot of friends now, and I’m not getting picked on every day.” I saw her eyes boring into me looking for something else. “Alright, I don’t know how I’m doing right now.” I told her honestly.

“What do you mean?” She asked.

“Well for one I’m really tired of everyone guessing I’m five if I wear the wrong clothes.” I told her hesitantly. I was sure my parents had filled her in with everything anyway, “Tuesday was pajama day. Mom and I had found some cute pajamas with feet on them that would fit Amy and me, so we wore them for pajama day. We really did look cute dressed like that, and I was having a lot of fun with it. That was until the sub in English class thought that I was someone’s little sister that had come them to school that day.”

I was really surprised Dr. Reynolds didn’t laugh about it, but I continued, “Then the next day the whole squad was wearing shortalls and our hair done in pigtails and I looked to be about five again. One of my best friends even brought a doll to school to play a joke on the sub that we’d had. I don’t think she knew that it really upset me though. I’m not five, I’m twelve! Amy has grown about five inches here in the last couple months, but I’m still the same height I was last year. It’s good for cheerleading stuff because people can toss me so easily… but…” I was doing my best to not go into tears over all of this. “as long as we’ve got my puberty stopped then I won’t be doing much growing. That’s all on top of the fact that I’m never going to be able to have periods like my friends… and I’m stuck with this stupid thing between my legs,” I told her with a great deal of exasperation. “I’m so tired of having to look at it, or hide it, every time I turn around. I know you can’t do anything about it till I’m eighteen – but I wish it could be gone now!” I had gone to tears now.

How lucky can you get?

Tomorrow, June first is my birthday, but we celebrated it today. Three of my children were here and so were five of my grandchildren. I barbequed two chataubriands and a butterflied leg of lamb. All came out perfect, medium rare. The day was perfect, with the exception of no sunshine. I didn't mind because, don't say it, my kids were all the sunshine I needed. Being part of this community is the icing on the cake. I love you all, Arecee

It's that time of year (for me)...

I thought about posting this as a blog here, but instead decided to post it to my blog and share the link...

Basic subject is that it's nearing the 2 year anniversary of Kim's passing...

That time of the year (for me) @ Piper's GeekBrat Blog....

The Hardest Battle, Part 4

More than two years since the last chapter was posted, Regina's story continues after a killer cliffhanger. What's a former prince to do when the murdering madman who killed her father and changed her into a pretty pet asks her to be his bride? And what must the head of the Thieve's Guild do to make his uncle an "honest woman?"

Sorry it took so long, folks -- and if you've never seen the story before, go back and read parts one through three first! *grin*

My brain chemistry is kicking my butt

Well, I got most of what i need to do to go back to school done. If I can get my doctor to sign off for me wednsday, I will be as ready to go as I can be. I just wish I felt better, but I was due for a chemical down anyway, so now is as good a time as any, i guess. ah, well.

Martina's Story 10

Well, that's chapter 10 finally posted. It's been sitting on my 'puter' for a few weeks while I sort out other issues in my life.
Been a rough couple of weeks. Sorry if it seems like along time between postings.
Been doing a lot of cycling to clear my head and the final arrival of some decent sunny weather has helped a lot to lift my mood.

I'm going to read bike 1010 now to cheer me up a bit.

Bye for now,
Bev Hugs.

Sarah Carerra - 1.37 - Sarah's #1 Fan

The jealousy I felt at seeing her was surprising to me. Josh and I had only been on one date, and we hadn't had much contact with each other afterward. But he was my first love, or at least my first crush. It hurt to have him taken away before anything ever really got started.

Anyone Have A Targus Universal AC Adapter For Your Laptop?

Anyone have a Targus Universal AC adaptor for your Laptop? If you do, there is a recall on them for adaptors made through March of this year. If you have one, you can go to www.cpsc.gov for further information. Mine was on the list and I was able to return it for a full refund at the place where I purchased it( In my case,Walmart). Apparently they caused fires and may cause internal damage to the computer itself. Since I am waiting for an actual Toshiba adaptor to be sent to me, I haven't been able to finish Part 3 of my latest story. I apologize for the delay.

Twenty One years and I'm still trying to figure it out

It was this day in 1989 that the wife and I got married. We have two wedding anniversaries in fact. Today is the civil one, our church wedding took place on June 17th of the same year. This isn't an unusual practice among Filipinos.

paperwork

Well, my visit to the goverment agency went well. I have some paperwork to fill out before i go back in 2 weeks, but i went back to the school to have them fill out their part of my paperwork, and they said the fact that they gave me the papers indicate a high chance that they will end up saying yes. We will see.

Career Day: The Wheels On The Bus Go Round And Round.

What would you do if you had a chance of living your life over again? Would you correct all those mistakes hindsight told you? Use your knowledge of the future to become rich? But what if this wasn't quite the past you remember?

Duty, Honor, Country, Family - Part 23

“Bottom line, Rebecca is still my child and we’re very proud of her. As Tom, he served our country and as Rebecca is doing the same. My wife and I have talked it over, whatever choices she makes when her mission is over, we’ll support them one-hundred percent. It is Rebecca’s life, and we feel certain she will make the right choice for the future,” Stuart Slater said to Makoto Tanaka.

“Gabrielle has made choices and decisions her mother and I wish she hadn’t.”

“We can’t live our children’s lives for them. All we can do is give them advice.”

“That is true, Stuart.”

XXY

I was absolutely shocked to see a movie had been made about XXY Gene combination in one young child. Sadly, me espanole es muy poqinto :(

Yes folks this movie is in Spanish. Can it be that they do not have their collective heads up their asses like English speaking countries do?

Those who can, enjoy.

Much Peace
