which might give light relief from debacle that is the US election.

Oh yes, those of us in England at least had an unwelcome gift last night, the removal of November from the 2020 calendar! -break-->Yep, seems that from Wednesday we join France and Germany in a new national Covid lockdown in the vague hope that there will be Eid, Xmas and New Year in December. So its back to furloughs, empty streets, closed stores and no use of public transport, difference is, the weather may not be so clement and the smile and carry on we saw in the spring will, I'm sure, quickly turn to frustration as 'daily' exercise is less of an option in cold, wet weather.

I wish I young enough to do this.

problem is, it does come back another day!

Couple months back I realized how much out of touch with current makeup fashions I had become when I began looking for a lipstick color to replace one I had used for years. There are a couple names for what I was searching for but obviously Frosted Peach, or Iced Peach is no longer a fashionable lipstick color. I tried multi variations of color combinations with no luck. I finally found what I wanted on one of those trips to OKC.

Is there a difference in perception between a blond haired female and a blond haired male?!?!? Why?!?!?

What is the male equivalent of a "valley girl"?!?!?

What is the male equivalent of a "slut"?!?!?

What is the female equivalent of a "gigolo"?!?!?

Blond is actually spelled with an ;E' on the end, isn't it?!?!?

II just read a book called "the conclave" by Robert Harris. It has a surprise ending that might be of interest to readers here. Warning! Do not read if you are a Catholic who thinks that there is anything but politics at work in the election of the pope.

Putting together a playlist on Spotify and Youtube of all the music that's been mentioned on TG Techie. As soon as I remember that I want to work on that.

Would you guys also want the music I listen to while writing it? They are not the same thing.

There are many stories on BCTS about out of body experience written into the story line. Mostly just a paragraph or such, certainly not the theme of the story.Research into OBE has been conducted by almost every military and government in the world. Lots of names they list it as. Remote viewing is one as they try and get spies who can't be captured or seen into looking at another gov or military secrets.

A brief list!

Everyone seems to be sharing their dreams, so I finally had one that folks here may find interesting.

I rarely recall my dreams in any real detail, but a couple of night ago I awoke with one that mostly stuck with me.

Well there's a new thing. Last night my dream self forgot stuff on a trip to some school or recreation building, and mysteriously acquired a pair of kitten heels in a shade of light turquoise. It seems I had to use them rather than go barefoot, and nobody batted an eye (or ear) as they clicked in the corridors.
Later though, I found it necessary to walk home, and though my feet didn't complain, the shoes were starting to look a little used when I took them off which was a shame!
Been searching the web this was the nearest (do not walk home in these!)

In my 15 years 11 months here on BCTS, I uploaded many pictures. Right now, I'm involved in Melanie E./Rasufelle’s One Dozen Roses project. I've taken on the task of collating and formatting the collection. Counting the 12 stories and the cover, that means I'm adding a large group of photos as I submit things to the group.

Look around, around - out in the city its just you and me

I suppose that there has always been a past. That every thing we live with has a history and that we we all have to deal with the consequences and the compromises that that past brought. There's an old aphorism that I learned from one of my more memorable mentors: "Yesterday's solution is tomorrow's problem."

A difficult pill to swallow is learning everything I have studied and researched about hormones for over fifty years is all wrong. It's been a series of follow the leader in prescriptions and shallow research that wasn't really research. Trans request hormones on what they have read and heard. Doctors prescribe hormones on what they have read and skimmed over. And no one really knew exactly what they were doing because the hormone prescriptions worked to a limited extent. Until they hit that proverbial wall and no longer helped but went into station keeping or regressing.

News is just breaking that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died of metastatic pancreatic cancer at 87.

Apparently Mitch McConnell has already promised a vote on her replacement.

I just posted a new story. "Jan Comes Out to Play."

It's an older story of mine. It's my attempt at romance.

Jon is a young, over achieving software engineer. He's been a computer nerd since grade school; driven to achieve in school. As a result, he started college early at 17 and went no stop, Summer term included, and became the youngest Master candidate in the schools history. But a t what cost? He had vertically no social life, not even with other nerds, because he's got a secret... a huge feminine side.

that you get to read on Sunday!
