Hi all, thought that I would share two dreams I had within days of each other. The first was looking down on a hospital room with two patients, one was screaming following S.R.S. and the other was spitting angry; both patients had the same name and the wrong patient had the surgery. The second dream I had was where I ordered a feteshists dream concoction of a full body rubber bodysuit and was about to try it on, only then did I dissapear from the dreamscape leaving the bodysuit to crumple to the floor.

I appreciate this is ‘off topic’ as it were, but I was most surprised to read this article from AA Gill in today’s Sunday times, regarding his dyslexia. He is a perceptive writer whose work I have enjoyed for many a year.
Perhaps some of you here suffer from dyslexia or know someone who does, so please take a few minutes to read what it says, many of us can empathise with the youngsters he meets as well as his own experience.

Lesbian Sergeant Discharged

By TIMBERLY ROSS, Associated Press Writer Timberly Ross, Associated Press Writer — 29 mins ago

Jene Newsome played by the rules as an Air Force sergeant: She never told anyone in the military she was a lesbian. The 28-year-old's honorable discharge under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy came only after police officers in Rapid City, S.D., saw an Iowa marriage certificate in her home and told the nearby Ellsworth Air Force Base.

If you value your intelligence please ignore this drivel. Today marks one week without smoking (yeah me). And I need something to complain about.

I’m sitting here playing on the computer while my son is watching cartoons. Some weird one that is just annoying to overhear as is it to watch. So I took the remote and tried to find one I could tolerate listening
to. And what do I find? No Saturday Morning cartoons. What happened to the good ole toons I used to watch growing up. You know the ones that were on all the local stations for hours every Saturday before the games.

I’ve been reading stories on this site and others for about three years now and finally decided to become a member. I’d love too even post my own stories if I thought they were good enough, or even finished for that matter. What took me so long to join, and even get the courage to write this is fear. Which is probably silly really. I cross dress at home. And I’m extremely lucky that my wife accepts it so well. She even buys clothes for me when she’s out shopping for herself.

Too bad that the US health system is so bound into the "free" market system. Notice how a person who is TS has the same feelings as a TS and another language in another country. So much for a "lifestyle choice". Nice that the new leader is trying to drag Cuba into a more liberal attitude.

HAVANA - Looking in the mirror used to make Yiliam Gonzalez sick to her stomach.

A question, in a work of fiction, where does one give credit to works used in the production of the work. Footnotes, Appendix, does one use superscript numbers to tie various true sections of unusual work to the source. Some insight would be appreciated.

I just came across this article on mtv.com:

'Harry Potter' Star Daniel Radcliffe Is 'Passionate About' The Trevor Project
'Now I am in a position where I can help,' actor says of supporting LGBTQ help line.

This was a headline this morning on my computer sign-in-screen! Richard

03-03-2010 04:24 AM PST |By JESSICA GRESKO, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (Associated Press) --
Same-sex couples can start applying for marriage licenses Wednesday in Washington.

Supporters say couples planned to line up before the city's marriage bureau opened at 8:30 a.m., and officials at the courthouse were expecting 200 or more people.

At least 16 couples were waiting at 7:15 a.m. inside the city's Moultrie courthouse, which houses the marriage bureau and is just blocks from the U.S. Capitol.

I just got my 60 day notice to, "TERMINATE TENANCY"

Katy aka Katybug in the picture below used to have all black whiskers. It wasn't until a couple of years ago she started getting any of the white ones. She's going to be 11 on March 8th :)

Brittany on the other hand, who lived to be almost 19 last year kept all black whiskers

News story on the BBC web site:

Previous studies have shown that progesterone supports the normal development of neurons in the brain, and that the hormone has a protective effect on damaged brain tissue.

If it supports the development of neurons in the brain it might explain quite a few things.

I wonder if they will be looking for any "unusual" side effects? Perhaps a change in clothing tastes?

Hello

After reading the somewhat bizarre story about the alleged assassins who killed a hamas leader in Dubai, my ‘tg radar’ started to twitch.
Far be it for me to cast aspersions but I have doubts over the photograph showing the Irish ‘woman’ Gail Follard
Have I been reading too much TG fiction? take a look at the link and see for yourself

I ran accross this nugget:

http://community.feministing.com/transgender-issues/

A commentary on the proposed changes to the DSM-IV for the new DSM-V, dropping the "Identity Disorder" from the name tag and reduce the stigma of it being a mental illness.
It would become "Gender Incongruence"
Also for the posties out there, good news! They want a fully transitioned person to be diagnosed as fully cured. This can be an issue in several career paths.
They wish to remove the sexuality aspect from it as well, gender incongruence and sexuality being two different issues.

Im very interested in reading some Portia Bennet stories it seems some of them, are connected.id like to know if they are and in what order.I got a little ocd and it dictates how and what i read sometimes

For all of you who thought that cats were just pets, the truth has emerged. It seems they prefer owners to have a University Degree. :-)
See the link below:

Does this explain why many writers here have cats?

If you ever wonder what its doing over in London, want to check the weather, do they really get snow? watch the double decker busses cross the bridge, tour boats on the Thames, maybe catch the bridge up? Or just to see the tide height against the bridge.
This is one of the better real time live cams:

Enjoy, hey, maybe we could get Angharad and friends to walk across the bridge to the sidewalk on the other side of the road this side of the near tower, jump up and down and wave frantically at the camera at a preset time and date? :-)

I've posted Chapter 13 of Amanda's Eyes on Fictioneer. There was some interest here so I wanted to let you know. No tg content. Sorry for the long delay.

I thought this was interesting News, It also was in his speech the other night, even though he didn't stay with it too long! Richard

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.

A TV Ad..

There is an advert currently being shown in the UK for the Renault Twingo. It’s a nice take on a TG situation, it made me smile.
Not sure about the car, though.

Here's an article that might interest those following The Legend of Alfhildr:

"Experts may have found bones of English princess"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100120/ap_on_sc/eu_britain_prin...

We're talking really old, 10th century, close to Alfhildr's time.
