Either Do it Right, or Don't Do it at All

I almost wrecked the car. The windows vibrated. Dogs and cats within a three block radius were probably saying to themselves,

'What the hell?'

I know my eardrums will never be the same again.

Need to find a new job

Hello my friends at BC!!

Well, I was given a big shock today. This coming Friday will be my last day at a company where I have worked for 14 years. Basically, it is the economy. Being single. Less money coming into the company, etc, etc. I was told I will receive a full month's pay check at the end of the month. Then another week into November.

The River of Shadows - Chapter 2

The River of Shadows
Chapter 2
by Alyssa Plant

 
A high school senior heads to Boston to visit his sister for Halloween. A twist of fate reveals something they would never have admited alone... and it proves to be the one thing that may keep them alive when the best laid plans of a group of college students are lain waste by a force of terrible evil and corruption that has thrived for centuries... Can Charlie Kane be strong enough to live? or will the River of Shadows claim yet another victim...?

Done and done - finally

Hoorah!

We are finally in our new home.

The move started at about 12:30 pm Wednesday and finished about 3:30 pm Saturday.

We moved ourselves as I said we'd do and I don't mean to sound as if I knew best because I didn't. Every time we filled the van, more stuff started to appear and at one stage, I was positive that the chattels fairy was following us around, bringing stuff back from the new house and depositing it in the old one for us to move again and again and again.

Argh!

Well, I never…

…did you ever–?

I never cease to be amazed about the mind-boggling things I learn from BBC Radio 4. About 5 minutes ago I learned that King Edward VII had a golf bag made out of an elephant's penis. Evidently it was presented to him by an Indian Maharajah. The same programme informed me that "Snow Golf" was invented by Rudyard Kipling when he painted his balls red.

As I said before, the mind boggles.

So what mind-boggling facts have you learned from the radio/tv?

"Potentially Offensive" Number (license) plates withdrawn

Browsing through the BBC News pages, as is my daily wont, I came across this little item concerning number (licence) plates being withdrawn from an auction because they might cause offence to gay people.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hereford/worcs/8290413.stm

I have been wracking my meagre brain to think of any number plates that might be offensive to the TG community.

New Feature - Quickcuts

I've added a new feature to the front page. It's not perfect yet but this is an attempt to do what Eden originally wanted the Shortcuts to be. Right now it shows the title and author of up to 20 stories on the front page that were posted in the last 50 hours. Currently, this only shows for people using the BigCloset theme, not Reversi or most of the other themes.

I'll make it look prettier later, it's late tonight. :)

Hugs,
Erin

Firefly: Double Booked | Part 3: Turbulence

This is a fan fiction set in the Firefly/Serenity universe created by Joss Whedon. It takes place soon after the events in the television series and the companion motion picture that followed, and is also the third part of a sequel to Firefly: Connecting Flight. This means it has SPOILERS, folks, and major ones at that. So please don't read this unless you get the chance to see the series and the movie -- and read my first Firefly story (and the first two chapters of this one), since they both set the stage.

In the third part of FIREFLY: DOUBLE BOOKED, Wash and the ladies go for a walk in the freight yard, Jayne plays guardian angel with a "dumb-ass piece of Alliance plastic" for a gun, and our intrepid pilot finally faces her fear -- with surprising results!

A Mirror on the Door Story

Claire's good friend Jeffrey went through a mirror in the door, what effect did that have on Claire's life?

Redirected to Amazon

Hi. When I come to this site, or go to another chapter or something after being on the same page for a while, I am redirected to amazon. It is actually two seprate amazon pages. One is the main page as you go to amazon, then right away it goes to another page where there is only a small box at the top of the page that has amazon's tg library in it.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?

Thanks
Jessica Marie

Two years off prescription drugs

Right after I got back from Thailand and SRS, I noticed that I was about 60lbs over what I had been when I started this whole TG debacle. It took a while for the storm to develop but about a month after I got back I sat down with my Shrink, who I was seeing once a week, and told her that she could help me or not but I was off the Prescription Drugs. She tried to say that I needed them but then I reminded her that I spent most of 57 years not on drugs, aside from sleepers once in a while. She also asserted that I as a Border Line Personality person could not handle life with out them.

tg case in alberta could be historic

This case of a transgendered teacher here in alberta could end up being historic. Right now, transgendered persons are not protected under our human rights laws. If the courts so choose however, they could "read it in", and force the goverment to change the law, like what happened 10 years ago with gays. Here is hoping thats what happens.

Fired Transgendered teacher fighting back!

A teacher who is transitioning F to M was fired by a school board because "his gender change from woman to man is not aligned with the teachings of the Catholic church or its values." And he's fighting back, using Alberta's human rights act. Going to be interesting seeing how this case ends, because he's fighting the Catholic church.

The Wanderer Has Returned

In other words, Angharad's back home. She was up at “Sparrow Fart” this (Friday) morning–to catch her ’plane home–after over-exercising herself yesterday (Thursday) and is too tired to finish the episode of Bike she had started, so she has retired to her bed for the night.

However, she was not idle while she was away, because she sent me SNAFU-47 to edit, saying that she might add a bit more. She's not sure when Saphire will be able to post it, but it should not too long (after I've finished with it)

She sends love and hugs to all.

What I Did on My Summer Vacation - BigCloset Back-to-School Challenge

Well, it's that time of year -- time for teachers to demand a report on summer activities, at least, it's traditional in North America to do so. So, here's the deal, a contest that isn't a contest.

Home makeovers and such!

Okay, I have some interesting info to share today. It turns out you can get a beauty consultant to come to your home and do a full makeover on you in private and then sell you the products!

I had no idea this was an option except on the very high end, but I was talking with my sister a while ago and she sells Mary Kay cosmetics part time. I wound up asking her if she had a problem doing the home makeovers for TG people and she replied "Of course not!".

Standing Up To Life

A big thank you to Sephrena for reposting Tiffany's book. I think Sephrena must feel pretty much as I do, that it is simply a must read! If, when you finish the first book, you don't just continue on to the second one, I would be very surprised.

Congratulations again, Tiffany for such a great piece!

Hugs,
Carla Ann
