Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.

A few days ago, I sent a word document to a friend to give her a smile and perhaps think about a tour of Portsmouth, where I live.

As all you merry band of followers of EAFOAB or ‘Bike’ or even The Daily Dormouse will know, this is where the story is based.

There is Dickensian London, Bronte Country and even Hardy’s Wessex. But we have a new addition; Cathyland.

Many thanks for Puddintane for all the help and advice in making the following possible, the errors are mine alone.

UPDATE: 11:29 AM ET:

The Maine Senate has just joined the House in rejecting a bill that would have repealed protections for transgender people under the Maine Human Rights Act. LD 1096 would have allowed restaurants and schools to adopt their own policies for restroom use and stripped away the ability of transgender people to file discrimination lawsuits if they were denied access to a rest room that did not correspond with their biological sex.

I recently read a remarkable book, "Almost Perfect" by Brian Katcher. It's marketed as a Young Adult novel, suitable for ages 14+, but it's a very good read for adults, too.

Well the major pain hit about 1AM like a blow torch across my toes,GOD BLESS my WIFE who got up and got the pain meds and ice . I went to the doctor this morning and he numbed the foot (wonderful)now later it should not be so bad.I now have pins in toes 3,4,& 5 the big toe is fused straight with screws and the pinkie toe #5 had the bone chipped out so the toe could be moved over. I feel OK now I have a month to heal and I CAN'T TAKE A BATH all this time gross. THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS---HUGS & KISSES RICHIE2

Hi

Part 3 is now available and I apologise in advance for the blue background. It seems there is a gremlin in Lulu's conversion programme - I am trying to sort the problem but it seems rather hit and miss.

Well, for those that don't generally follow sports, especially as practiced in the old world, there is great news! Manchester United fell to FC Barcelona in the UEFA Championship by a resounding 3-1. Barcelona owned the game, played in Wembley Stadium, from start to finish despite the antics of United's Wayne Rooney. Somebody ought to inform him he shouldn't start the celebrations until AFTER the game is over!

But as entertaining as his antics might have been to some, his goal was the only time MU scored as FC Barcelona outscored, outclassed, and out-played United.

This is really long, though it is the references that are responsible. If you haven't commented on the DSM-V, please read the pertinent section and do so. It's easy. Also check out the petition. If we don't make noise, then the assholes rewriting the DSM-% are going to make it worse on many of us.

I've been looking at forums/blogs/twitter feeds about the Rapture 2011 World Tour and was thinking about what a good opportunity if you had a Medallion of Zulu or something similar. All those people disappearing leaving their life/identity behind with just a pile of clothes/jewelry/etc. left to mark their passing.

Is there a way to save a blog entry as draft while I'm still working on it, before submitting it for "public viewing"?

Sometimes dating can be more trouble than it's worth.
