In case some of you have not seen this yet, I was real sorry to see this. I met her once once and she was absolutely adorable.

Tonight, driving home from an all day D&D session with my friends, I almost hit a power wheelchair that I didn't see until almost too late. The chair had NO lights on it, NO reflectors, the person piloting it and the one walking with him were both wearing dark clothing. The chair was in my lane, traveling toward me and it was dark.

Well, the Hard Drive on my 7 year old Dell Laptop is making Death Knell noises, the screen resolution keeps changing, and I can't get on my Bank because of Security Certificate problems, so I think that the old Gel is about to give up the ghost.

I'll likely just go get one of those $250 "Netbook" to tide me over. I found that I can run an auxiliary Screen and Keyboard. I am in the process of saving my pictures and other documents to my 300 Gig stand alone HD, so I really am not too concerned.

Today I was out with my fiance and we were talking about things from our past, past relationships and experiences, and talking about when we first met and our initial thoughts about each other. During this time I got a pretty big surprise. She looked at me and said. "When we first started dating, I thought you were transgendered." I was more than a little bit surprised by this and asked if she thought I wanted to be a girl. She said, "No, I mean when I first met you, I thought you used to be a girl but became a man." Once again I was surprised and asked her why.

I got a heavy dose of reality not long ago, and it cured me of my obsession with the hit counts for my stories.

Okay, I'm republishing all my stories over on my page at Erin's new site, the TGLibrary. I signed up for an account, added and customized it and now I'm publishing everything I write to there, as well as using it as a personal blog for me as Joy and those kinds of thoughts/feelings.

Those of you awaiting the next chapter (22) of At Aunt Greta's can rest assured that it is on the way and should be posted in a few days, after it has been checked by Bonzi and his Mum to be free of naughty words that might upset the kiddiwinkies, who probably know them better than I.

I'm in need of some money to make my bills. For a limited time I'm offering two question tarot card readings for $20.

On "Countdown," his political news/analysis/commentary show on MSNBC last night, Keith Olbermann used his "Worst Persons In The World" segment to highlight (not to mention rip, tear and shred) a Congressional critic of the Matthew Shepard anti-hate-crimes bill that was later passed in yesterday's session.

My middle son sent this to me and I thought this applied to alot of you and it was cute and I'm sure this is and old joke and alot of you have read before especially the last paragraph probally applies here. A friend to all of you and alot of Hugs to you all! Richard

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.

I have had a pig awful week, commencing with falling off my bike and hurting my thumb - fortunately, the left one.
