My Aunt Passed.

So I just need to get this off my chest, because I absolutely loved her. My Aunt Sandi just passed about 5 minutes ago, unfortunately I wasn't able to say my goodbyes, but I am going up to Washington to attend the funeral this weekend. She has spent the past 20 some odd years battling cancer and tonight it finally won, when she was first diagnosed they gave her 6 months to live and she put up the fight of a lifetime, I am grateful I was able to spend time with such a wonderful woman.

This would be my first Blog, eh?

I probably won't do this alot, and honestly I have never, ever, done anything like this before even when told I should by whatever psychologist I was seeing at the time, I just never felt interesting enough to write about what is going on with me. I kind of am on a last thread here and was like, "I have become more active here and less of a lurker, I feel down, I think I will go to Topshelf..." So I end up here and think about my options from the home page, go someplace else, read a story....blog...maybe I will do that for once. So here I am.

Bireley's Orange Drink

A question for people who grew up in Southern California that'd save me some (non-online) research time:

Bireley's non-carbonated orange drink was a regional product manufactured here in the San Francisco Bay Area in the fifties and into the sixties. (Oddly, a licensee in Japan apparently sells a drink by that name even today.)

I know it was available in the Bay Area, the north part of the state and in the Central Valley as well. But I don't know about SoCal. Can anyone help me on that?

Bob

Im glad that everything has worked out and that Erin has been able to keep Bob's sites up and running this is what he would have wanted. Im glad he touched so many of you and in some way still is. I know he is looking down on us and keeping us all safe. If I know him he probably has heaven with internet access and is keeping an eye on all of his sites.

*Shocking News*

It is with great sadness and a few scrapes and hurts that i have to announce the demise of my faithful steed Foxy. On the way home tonight she hada major failure which luckily occured on a bit of traffic free road as i ended up in a heap on the floor.

I think someones trying to tell me something as i only lost Ginny a few weeks ago so a double bike bereavement is a bit of a hint.

I've escaped serious injury so thats good i think and it could have happened on our recent trip around Denmark or on a busy road.

Looking for an older story...

Okay So I am first off curious if anyone pays much attention to Fictionmania, because I found that site before any BigCloset site. But mainly I am looking for a story, I was reminded of it because I saw SpaceTran and was like oh! I loved that story nostalgia ensued upon seeing Skipper as well and I had the thought, oh, I wonder what the name of that one story was. Anyway long story short I decided to reach out and see if anyone knew it, but as I had only seen it on Fictionmania I am not certain, and it was a few years ago.

Descriptions

Am I being too descriptive in my stories,although I have received many complimentary emails about my descriptions I have also received others that my description are on occassions too much.

Okay I`m not the most elegant writer and my english. spelling and phraseology leaves a lot to be desired, but hey I`m an ex soldier turned truck driver with no fancy degrees just the basic state level of education for the 1950`s and 60`s.

One of my stories called "Control" was slaughtered so much I`ve decided to discontinue it.

Hugs

Britain's youngest drag queen.

Spotted this story about 12 year old Redvers Stokes who won his village's annual competion with a drag act character called 'Naughty Nora'. Personally, I think his parents have a good, healthy attitude to his act. All to often it is the negative responces that can cause problems for young males who enjoy dressing up.

Here's a very sympathetic story from a major US newspaper about a transgendered sanitation worker. It includes a link to a video.

Science Fiction and Fantasy stories

Hi there ;)

I'm looking for good science fiction and fantasy stories. I've just found some via jewel box and I think there are some more I haven't read already. As you perhaps know I'm a sucker for those kind of stories, so it would be kind of nice if you could tell me some stories or authors, I might not have read by now.

Thank you for providing me with new food :D

Hair removal - Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

Does anyone here have experience with hair (beard) removal by Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)? Would you please share your experience?

How does IPL compare to laser and/or electrolisys?

The only place in my country that is offering "permanent hair removal", that I could find, is doing IPL, and they quoted me for 8-10 sessions @ US$150 each (with the legal minimum wage being about US$400 per month).

I am looking for testimonials and/or recomendations. Thank you.

My stress level just spiked through the roof

For those of you who do not yet know me: I live in a small country in the heart of South America, about 500km away from the Capital (about 7 hours bus trip, and if you are really suicidal about 3 hours by car). Even though both of my parents and I were born and raised here, we are still considered foreigners and unfortunately of the rich sort. Considering my cultural roots in a very conservative cristian religious community (were I still live today), that is not so far off since my community and several others of the same background in this country are a big powerhouse in the agribusiness.

Shattered - Additional

I got up this morning to the news that a carbomb exploded in Central Oslo, Norway. Several people are reported killed, many injured and I heard a little while ago that people in the Norwegian Govt. Building (where the carbomb was set off) may be trapped inside.And I just got word from my friends in Norway that a man dressed in a police uniform attacked a youthcamp south of Oslo. The man opened fire with a machine gun, and reports say at least four youths may have been killed.

I've spoken with my family in Oslo and Thank God they are all safe and sound. But I'm still shaken and crying.
