Was remembering something that happened at my daughter's birthday party. We went swimming, and after I had changed into trunks I realized I had to go back out into the public area to get something. Well, I was suddenly struck with a feeling of being indecent, exposed, because I didnt have on a top. Even my daughter commented on it, as if she had expected me to wear one. She sometimes seems to struggle with calling me "Daddy" and sometimes slips and calls me "Mom".

I know this has nothing to do with TG elements, but I know a lot of you are computer savvy, as I am not.

Yesterday, my computer somehow caught a cold. A trojan horse or virus, I'm not sure which, was acquired. I called the local tech support number that was listed on the anti-virus program Grover and I use for our computers.

Well, once again, I am reminded not to make decisions when in the middle of a depressive episode. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to keep writing, I am feeling better emotionally. Besides I have a story to share, and I dont know any group who would "get" it like you guys and gals will, or so I hope.

Dear Friends:

On Monday, I posted my second story, a story I wrote for the March Contest, entitled "The Consequences of Foolishness." It, as of my last check had just about 1100 reads, 27 votes and 1 comment. I think the number of reads is great. I wish it had received more votes, but the number is small but okay. I am not using this post to troll for people to read it now, and vote for it. However, I am disappointed by the lack of comments. The only one I received was from my good friend Andrea Lena DiMaggio, and I appreciate it.

I was gonna do this as a comment on another blog post, but I figured it was important enough to have it's own spot.

At the link below is a website telling the history of Bikini Atoll. It is not a happy story.

I wish to offer my sincerest apologies to all of the authors here on BC. I have been a member here for almost 40 weeks, and have been a visitor for several years. Up until now I have been a “lurker”, reading stories and not voting or commenting on any stories that I like or dislike. I have read the blogs, and generally scan the comments at the end of stories, without adding anything of my own. (Though I have started to vote for stories that I like). I truly enjoy this site and most of the stories that are posted here, I like the community feeling and mutual support that is offered.

So...I'm watching TV a few nights ago, got the dish network now...LOTS more channels and less money than cable. Anyway, I'm on the computer at the same time when I catch a phrase from the TV about a place called, BIKINI BEACH!!!!

Well, of course my ears perked up and I switched my full attention to the TV and what did my unbelieving ears and eyes see and hear? An honest to god commercial about The Bikini Beach Resort and Motel!!!!!

Is well into production and I hope to have it ready for posting over Easter weekend, for those of you who enjoy my schoolgirl saga. Kylie attends school as a girl, not for the first time, but certainly for the first time officially. What's going to happen - watch this space and see.

My friend Kayla is an actress and model and she put out a bulletin for someone to help with Makeup for this film she is working on called "Santa Vs. Zombies" She contacted me and put me in touch with the Director and I sent him a message. If he wants to hire me , it will be my first real paying job in a long time. Please keep your fingers crossed and say a few prayers for me. I really need the money.

...but before you start celebrating, there's a catch.

In the study, the benefits came to those consuming only one measly chunk per day, or one bar a week.

And then only if it's used to replace a similar number of calories of other snacks. Nutritionists are such spoilsports, aren't they?!
