To the fans of Miss Cheyenne Moon

She just stated on her update page, her health is failing. She is considering in taking down the Isle of Maxxis website at http://www.cheyennemoon.name/

She has provided some great stories over the years. I suggest you get there to download the stories posted there.

A friend from here and I correspond by email and the other day she asked me to post something she had included with that email.
She titled it: A Bizarre But True than True Story. What follows is what I received.

A bizarre but ‘truer than true’ story

I have a friend, not a very close friend but more than an acquaintance, who has recently done something very strange.

I was having an actual date the other night and before hand we were talking about her coming over to eat. I said I'd cook. She was surprised and asked if she could watch. I said sure because I know she didn't quite believe that I could, I asked her what she liked and Kymm aparently likes Italian. I found that neat because she's Korean.

Anyway...Here's some of my recipes:

Tageltelli?

I know a lot of folks here don't go to FM anymore...however there is an excellent story on there called "Lilim Tales" two of four chapters have been posted so far:

It would come under the heading of Sci Fi/Fantasy for those who like this kind of stuff....

Children of lesbian couples do well, study finds
Study tracks kids of same-sex couples from insemination
Reuters
updated 11:18 a.m. ET, Mon., June 7, 2010

Being raised by a same-sex couple is no hindrance to healthy psychological development, researchers say as the first generation of children conceived by lesbians through donor insemination is coming of age.

In fact, lesbian mothers rated their 17-year-olds higher in social and academic skills, and lower in rule-breaking and aggression, than did mothers of teenagers who also had a father.

Man charged with hate crime in Ballard transgender attack
By CASEY MCNERTHNEY
SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF

A man was charged Thursday with malicious harassment -- the state's hate crime statute -- after police said he yelled a derogatory slur at a transgender woman and assaulted her.

The incident happened about 3:50 p.m. Sunday at Northwest Market Street and 15th Avenue Northwest. The woman told an officer the suspect approached her at a bus stop, punched her several times with closed fists and yelled a slur at her.

I'm posting here to first of all seriously thank Michelle B for all the help she's given me already. Secondly I'd like to thank everyone who's commented and read my first attempt.

It seems that the nuttso that tried to confess to the JonBenet murder some years ago has been cyber stalking a young woman he knew when he was a substitute teacher and she was 9 years old. He was cleared of having anything to do with JonBenet's death through DNA evidence, but since then he is alleged to be engaged in stalking at least this other girl. In the words of the InfoMercial, "But wait, there's more...." It seems that he has transitioned and is now legally female as well, and is still stalking the girl. She says he did it so he could get closer to women and girls.

I'm looking for feedback on my recently posted short story, No More Distance, No More Time.
As I write this blog post, the story has over 700 "reads", but only three comments. (Thank you Stanman, Janice, and Susan!)

On the 21st of May 1810 Charles-Genevieve Louis-Auguste-Andre-Timothee Deon de Beaumont died in London at the age of eighty-three.
Much has been written about the Chevalier d’Eon since that day. For anyone still unaware of this famous historical figure, please read the links below for a précis of an unusual life which also included diplomat, spy, Advocate, Captain of Dragoons, fencing master etc. Plus, we should remember that at one time, many of us would have been called an Eonist.

It is easy for us to read about such a figure without thinking about the person behind the story.

I need some help with how to write a story on here. I keep seeing stuff that just confuses me. I write in MS word if that helps. I have no clue how to copy or paste stuff, and I just want to write a story on here. Can I just write a story in the body section like for a blog? Would that work? People sometimes get ticked if protocols are followed, and I don't really get the submission instructions, I'm still new to the computers now-a-days.

Help me please.

This experiment seems like it could be mucho helpful to a lot of people. Here's hoping the technology gets available soon.

Article in today's Guardian

Last night in Tallahassee, FL they passed a new human rights ordinance that protects against discrimination based on sexual and gender orientation. Employers can no longer hire or fire someone based on their sexual or gender orientation. Businesses must now provide access to all now including restrooms this even covers chrurches. This covers all of Leon County. This now provides everyone basic human rights in Leon County.

Who would have thought of this passing in a bible belt city.

I'm contemplating writing something off the wall and different than what usually gets posted. If you see my stories April and June, or The Conversation you might have an idea when I say off the wall what I mean. I haven't written anything in quite a while, and have been feeding most of my ideas to a fellow author whose skills greatly outshine my own (and who thankfully will edit if I get that far)

limbo: a look at married same-sex couples in states that don't recognize such unions
05-09-2010 09:15 AM PDT |By DAVID CRARY, AP National Writer

When government forms inquire of her marital status, Isabelle Barker sometimes resorts to an asterisk and an explanatory note.

She and her wife, Cara Palladino, got married five years ago in Massachusetts. Six months later, for job reasons, they moved to Pennsylvania _ one of the majority of states that do not recognize same-sex marriages.

Hence the asterisk.

I'm working with Lulu to upload a cookbook that I have written. My intent is to have it available both in PDF and in paperback. It has seventeen chapters and is a mix of opinion and recipes (over 200). The title is "The Opinionated Cook". I will post again as soon as I get it uploaded.

Christian right leader George Rekers takes vacation with "rent boy"

http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2010-05-06/news/christian-right...

By Penn Bullock and Brandon K. Thorp Thursday, May 6 2010

The pictures on the Rentboy.com profile show a shirtless young man with delicate features, guileless eyes, and sun-kissed, hairless skin. The profile touts his "smooth, sweet, tight ass" and "perfectly built 8 inch cock (uncut)" and explains he is "sensual," "wild," and "up for anything" – as long you ask first. And as long as you pay.

Nursing? Nah. Or maybe? Is someone trying to get my attention?

I just had to get out of my house today. I was bored so I grabbed my palm top and headed out. The Mount Allison kids are leaving the final exams are done. There these piles of junk out at the end of driveways and by dumpsters as the kids waste so much by just throwing it away. It makes me sort of sad to see the waste, this stuff so easily be donated. Sigh the university is a rich one, and so are many of the students.
I checked out a few things at the local used bookstore, bought a loaf of Patagonian corn bread from the Indie bakery...It smelled too good and it just came out of their hearth.

A Transgender Rights Bill is currently being debated in Massachusetts. The Republican Govenatorial candidate has said that as govenor he would veto the bill despite the fact that his running mate is a co-sponsor of the bill.
