Obama urges Congress to extend benefits to same-sex partners; `my hope is we can get it done'

TAMPA, Fla. (Associated Press) --
President Barack Obama is calling on Congress to pass a law extending benefits to same-sex partners, a day after he renewed his support for repealing the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military.

…or a nightgown. A Tesco branch in Wales won't allow any customers to shop if they are wearing night attire–or barefoot or wearing bedroom slippers.

Have any BC/TS-ers ever been tempted to shop in pyjamas?

to quote Scrooge (more or less) "I'm as giddy as a school girl and as light as a feather!" well the light as a feather part is still some way away 40+ pounds lost this month, more to follow.

I've found a recommended therapist, and HALLELUJAH!! she takes my insurance!

Thank you all for your help.

I've recently upgraded to IE8 and Windows 7. Until today, it's been great. Then today it happened... for some reason it says it cannot open BC whenever I try to go to it... via a bookmark or a Google search. I haven't touched any Parental Controls whatsoever and have no problem getting to my other TG-related sites via a bookmark.

My wife and I have proven it's IE8 or IE8 related, because friends report they're not having any problems and as final proof, I'm typing this on my laptop, which is running Vista and Windows 7.

Today is an anniversary of a sort for me.

This day, one year ago, my wife discovered the remainder of my crossdressing clothing 'stash'. I was on a work trip to San Francisco, and was in a meeting when she called me on my cellphone to ask "Did I have anything to tell her?"

Being confused at the context, I remained silent. She continued to say that she had found a bag hidden away in my home office closet that had female clothes, and high heel shoes in it. Not being in a place where by I could discuss further, I told her I'd call her back at the end of the meeting I was currently in.

I want to thank you all for your kind words and the seeming involvement you got from my story. I hated writing it, I hated posting it, I hated everything about it.

I didn't choose to write Sara's Story. For real, IT chose me. There are writers here who put my poor efforts to shame, and any one of them could have done a much better job than I did. I wish one of them had been chosen instead of me.

But if you accept that there is such a thing as reincarnation and then by definition accept that in your previous live's you would almost certainly been a member of the opposite sex , Would that then explain why some TG folk feel that they have been born in the wrong body..... Maybe the memories of their previous happy life are so strong that they yearn to return to those days.

Of course the more likely scientific answers as too why we feel the need to change sex are most probably the real answer...But i guess it always pays to keep an open mind!

2009 Terry Awards - Preliminary Novellas

Here's my preliminary list of novellas according to the Solo pages.

There may be several novellas that are missing from this list. I know many have been posted in multiple parts. Stories posted in multiple parts will be included later in the year.

Authors, please check to see that your novella is included here if it's posted as a solo. Some might be missing. Also, let me know if you'd rather your novella not be considered for an award.

2009 Terry Awards - Preliminary Short Stories

Here's my preliminary list of short stories according to the Solo pages.

Again, I can't imagine having a short story posted in multiple parts so this should be a complete list of short stories.
