It claims that wolfpeace, known here as Shelly or shalimar is stranded in Spain and needs money.

As Shelly is approximately 50 feet from me here in Indianapolis, I know that to be untrue.

I know I do not live in the San Francisco area any more, but after 67+ years, I still follow the news from th San Jose Mercury News.

This item caught my eye.

Today's Kindle Buffet ends page 3 with 10 Comics and Graphics Novel books. It looks as if they are samplers and commentary, no9t so much actual stories, but I wanted to let people here know about them while there is still time to get them for $0.00.

Looking more closely, at least one of them has some actual comics.

They did their work on the infected area on her left foot, and also lengthened the Achilles tendon on that ankle, so she will be hobbling around for quite a while. I'm taking in the walker she's used after previous surgeries today. The doctor thinks that is all she'll need to get around.

Holly

She got the results of the tests and MRI, and is now waiting word for when the surgery will be.

I read all of the comments to her about 20 minutes ago, and she wants me to thank everyone for their thoughts.

As many of you know, diabetes has cost her all of her toes over past years.

again.

About 3 years ago I asked for help finding this story, and must have just read it, but not saved it.

The protagonist is at a private school for boys at the start, and is asked to sing with a well known orchestra ... as a girl.

'She' is a hit and goes on to national, ( world?) renown.

It turns out she is intersexed and marries her one time roommate.

She also takes down a professor who was taking credit for work his students had done, and she exposes him.

Help, please?

Holly

... but one thing was the same. We also called ant lions doodlebugs, so I don't think it was strictly an Arkansas thing.

I never worked the cotton fields around Fresno, CA, but did do some agricultural work with many of my friends in the same time frame, 1950-1954, when I was 6-10.

A few days ago, Sue Brown blogged about having had to put her cat, Biscuit to sleep. I commented about having a week earlier having to put my cat, Bleu to sleep, and many other commented as well.

I know it has been hard for me to face my loss, too.

First, I want to thank all the people who have inquired and given me wishes for recovery.

Things are still not 100%, but A LOT BETTER!

I'm far from 100%, but HOME!

They decided they had more urgent need for my hospital bed.

Holly

I have lost so much weight in the past 3 years that my corset no longer fits properly.

It is bright blue satin and black and laces to around 34 inches which is now loose on me.

It is in excellent condition, work only by a Little Old Lady, ME!

If you are interested, send me a private message and we can see what we can work out as far as shipping, which might be free, but no promises.

Though I haven't lived in San Jose since 2010, I still read the online version of the paper. I did live there or work within the range of the printed paper from 1973 - 2010, and have many friends living there, so I still identify with the city. Besides, I like their online comics!

This article,
http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_19199091

about the murder of a transgendered woman does give her name as James (Lucie) Parkin.

But, it states that her transgendered status was not the cause of the murder, and most importantly,

ALL OF THE PRONOUNS USED FOR HER ARE FEMALE.

Everything continues to go well, 6 days after getting out. I've cut the pain pills in half and may quite in a day or so, and went out for several hours shopping with Gwen and Shelly.

Didn't buy much as we we pricing and trying to locate an exhaust fan for the kitchen. I need to let the landlord's agent know our ideas, as it will soon be too cold to keep the back door and kitchen window open to keep the smoke alarms from going off,or when cooking onions.

I'm still less comfortable when sitting or standing vertically, but if I can kick back even a bit it isn't bad.

Here is an interesting cartoon I found in today's paper.

This is a direct link to the strip that may be gone tomorrow.

You may be able to see it later by clicking on September 03 2010 in the upper right corner for a while longer.

I'm not familiar with the site, just happened across it in the Indianapolis Star online.

Why September 03 2010 showed up today, I have no idea.

Shelly/Shalimar and I are going to be moving east in the last half of June, and spending a couple of nights and one day, a Sunday, north of Salt Lake with Penny Cardon, author of ‘Educated in the Hills’.

We will be traveling with a couple of other BCTS members, Beth Williams, & Sparrowchild, so that will make 5, and I have already contacted one other BCTS member about it.

To make it a bit easier to get there, we are thinking we may hold a BBQ in the Ogden area, and invite anyone from this community, as we have twice, out in Walnut Creek, CA.

It's gone back from showers to just partly cloudy all weekend. And now they are saying a slight chance of showers.

I guess we'll just have to set up tents and hold our hands out to see if they get wet.

So you're all still invited to join us at the 2nd West Coast BCTS get together, as long as you can make it to downtown Walnut Creek on your own

PM me if you are interested.

I can't believe how easily everything went.
I had to wait until the court room opened at 9AM, and was out before 9:15, after teh judge (GG) made a little joke about it.

"Holly Happy Hart, I think that is one of the best names I've ever heard I hope you'll be very, ( short pause ), HAPPY, ( second short pause ) with it." This in front of a courtroom full of people. I wonder how often she gets to use a bit of fun word play?

By 9:30 I had several certified copies of the decree.

I'm still working on options for bad weather, but somehow or another we're going to make it work out.

If nothing else, we may have a couple of tents to go over the tables at the park. They still need to be checked out. But hopefully we will not have to worry about them.

I'm still looking for a place we can go indoors if we have to. The place I thought of first, does not have a separate room we can use, but I haven't put on a full court press yet.

OKAY, NOW I'M TELLING EVERYONE.

Of course most of you will not be able to make it. Last October 14, Arecee, MonaLisa, Rachel Anne, shalimar, Heather Rose Brown & I got together in a park in Walnut Creek, CA, when Erin was up this way.

( Rachel, shalimar and I all seem to think we had one more person, but can only name the seven listed above. I'm sorry if you were there and we are missing your name.

A number of people said, "Why didn't you tell me? I would have tried to make it," or words to that effect.
