A Step Too Far

Everyone probably already knows. Trump finalizes rule defining gender as a person's biological sex. Like Deuteronomy 22:5, many are using Harry Benjamin's illogical and so stupidly wrong, rules defining trans. Have I let everyone know in plain enough English how much I hate what that man did to all transsexuals? Thank you Benjamin for all the lives you complicated and those you destroyed for your "Standards of Care". I pray you receive your just reward in Hell. I think Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie, policy adviser for The Catholic Association put it very succulently, transgender are insane.

I'm NOT a Female!

How long has it been since I purchased lipstick? It's been awhile a really long while. My peach lipstick finally ran out on me. Oh I still had a kazillion colors of red but last peach or apricot, or natural colors. Time to break down and pick up another tube. I absolutely hate buying lipstick as the color is NEVER the same as the one we ran out of. Walmart was a joke unless red is one's color. Heck I have three or so dozen of red. I want peach or natural. Walgreens had some and again, yes you guessed, RED, but they also had a lot of gothic shades.

Things Girls NEVER talk about

Only from a man could the subject line be true. But only in their tiny little brain. Girls may or may not be human depending on who one asks the question. Do girls still iron things? Come on it's not a trick question. Except it is, depends on the girl doesn't it? Way back in the dark ages while holding onto a hot rock warmed by the sun, I was ironing out Errp's lizard skin shift. I said shift because back then we didn't name our body cover. There were some of Errps friends who didn't bother with such things..., I digress.

Fiction isn't too far from the truth

With the right amount of money, live in the right country, or have a very good passport, and find the right surgeons...,
I'm not terribly impressed with what some people do with their bodies. I don't condemn as that would be like the pot calling the kettle black. A lot of people aren't impressed with what I turned out to be either. Let's plow on. Not sure what her thinking is? Whatever she's seeking I pray she finds it. Personally I believe she's fortunate her body is holding together after all the surgeries.

TG in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model

Seems to be my day for spamming the channel. My appologies to all but a lot of you need confirmation of life is what you make it. If life handed you a bowl of lemons then make lemonade. The one thing I want you to take away from this is no one has to look this beautiful to meet that one place in life where you may find happiness. Yes she's gorgeous but so are all the boys and girls on this channel. It's what is in the heart and soul and if it has this kind of cover then good for her. Accept what life dealt us and work with what we have.

Fire on the Farm

Fire is non discriminatory as it's an equal opportunist. Had one visit Friday. Really dry spring ans summer, sparks on top the power pole set the grass on fire below. Destroyed a garage, tool shed, a dozen old vehicles, farm equipment, hay, travel trailer, tools, etc. etc. but actually not the most valuable things. The Fire Fighters and I still have our lives. Not to be too caviler about the whole thing, I had nothing but my parents and family when I dropped into this world. Theirs and all my friends love is all I'll take with me when I check out.

What are your favorites

Summer: my favorite skirt is stretch denim mini skirt, my favorite top is a printed jersey shell. My favorite shoes are really cowgirl boots. My favorite hat is a black felt cowgirl hat with a silver band. My favorite dress is a aqua green silk Mandarin dress, and four and half inch black pumps. White pearl drop earrings go with that dress, no necklace. My favorite purse is small black with a gold chain shoulder strap.

Missing Authors

This has been hashed before but one of those missing authors worries me since it was the beginning of the corona virus she last posted anything and then went dark.
The Lost Queen Vol 3 Ch1 Shadows of the Past
Submitted by Elsbeth on Fri, 2020/03/27 - 12:59pm
Which is the last of March. By some accounts not that long and yet sixty days with all that is happening, kind of worrying. According to one of the girls Elsbeth hasn't even logged onto BCTS. If anyone has any data on the young lady it would be a kindness to let the her ardent admirers know.

Thanks for nothing MS

Golly look at the time, it's three oh three A.M. Wanting to see what the storms were doing when I woke up a little after twelve I woke my computer to check Oklahoma Doppler Radar. Low and behold the only thing on my screen is new wallpaper and Microsoft edge waiting for me to open it up and get started.

Sapphires Place is GONE

It has been taken over by Sapphires Technologies still listed as SapphiresPlace.com
They have removed all of the stories from the WayBack Machine

So many stories scrubbed and lost forever. If we had only known, I could have downloaded her whole history to a solid state HD and saved it. But then copyright and legals get in the way of copying anyone's web without permission from the owners. The last thing I want is to get into a multi million dollar lawsuit for copying anyone's site without an okay.

Sigh, amature writers and laws

Writers are entering and publishing without truly reading or understanding the legalities of what is or isn't plagiarism. Nor do they understand the repercussions of filing a "that's my story line" lawsuit without researching prior publications. The large publishers did all that expensive legals for their authors. They knew whether they had a legal leg to stand on or not. Now with thousands of instant writer-publishers who read something somewhere about DCM (digital copyright material) they start firing off take down notices to everyone.

Shook the piggy bank

The Station's Late Night Princess by Alecia Snowfall is worth reading and reading again like so many other great stories posted on BCTS. Although some of them have moved onto ebooks, and I'm not into such, I'll toss a few pennies into BCTS cookie jar in honor of them. Don't know why it feels more right than sending in a blind donation? Erin, Piper, and the ladies host the site but the authors wrote the story. Both mutually necessary for this site to be here. One can't be without the other. And yes, Erin and the others use the site too for posting their stories. I know, I'm weird.

Real Life, not only the stories we write

Most everyone of us understands the hate generated toward others because they are different and don't conform to society or an individual's rules. If one hasn't run into that person who would kill you in a heartbeat because you aren't what they demand all females and possibly many males must be to live in their world; you aren't trans, gay, lesbian, or you fit the kind of model who blends in real well to the norm. Protecting one's self or receiving protection from those who are supposedly protecting those who can't isn't always possible.

A really bad idea by our own government

This has nothing to do with BCTS, stories, or writing but everyone needs to pay attention.
Intelligence has seemed to be lacking in anyone or anything having to do with government for as long as I can remember. A really long time. This is truly a short sighted, dumb, beyond comprehension "fix" that is being encouraged and helped along by my own government.
Progressive stupidity in action.

HD coming with shingling

The majority won't understand what this is about. Some will. This is for those few. WD and a few other HD mfg are adding shingling to some of their drives. It's raising havoc with the RAID build. This drive will work as a stand alone in a personal computer. It won't work in a mirrored array. I doubt it could even be cloned and used that way as it does not work well or get along with normal drives. If none of this makes sense, ignore it, you aren't one of those who will be running into problems with these HDs. What ticks me off is the companies weren't informing the buyers.

WHY ARE YOU WRITING?

I'm not sure how many authors were writing to BCTS twenty years ago (yr 2000). Can't even guess how many are here now. What I can observe is there are a whole passel of new authors posting stories. That said, let me say this one more time as I have explained many times before. If you are writing strictly for the knudos and comments, I wish you lots of luck. You are more than likely going to be disappointed. Trying to drive this home to you authors is like giving advice on how to drive to someone who has been driving for years. It doesn't register.

BCTS, Malwarebytes, Ramblings

Gwen's comment about Malwarebytes brought a response but then it kept going and I couldn't stop so I am dropping my own blog.
Coincidence it updated one night ago? It hasn't ever flagged BCTS on my computer. One of the other virus protectors gets over exuberant at times but again BCTS isn't running a bunch of free loading cookies. The girls are running the cleanest web site on the net as far as I can tell.

This is about all of US, Those who support us

Several weeks back I wrote about the trip down to OKC to the Clinic and then the problems at Costco. Two days later when I returned everyone was more than helpful and accepting. Made the trip to Amarillo today. The weather was a bitch! Sheet ice on the highway. couldn't see the lines as the whole thing was covered and it was all black except the bar ditches and fields covered in snow. Growl strips are on both sides of the Interstate and I was trying out both sides trying to find the highway. A kazillion semis were out there too. It was so foggy, two car lengths ahead was total white out.

The tens of thousands involved in making a movie

The actors, actresses on the big screen are a very small part of the people necessary in making a movie.
Let's not forget the setting (stage and props) very well runs into millions
The equipment, not only the cameras, the booms, lifts, the cranes, mobile homes, trucks, campers, etc.
Food, oh yes, the staff, actors, extras, and kitchen personnel need food and refreshments
Someone said every movie, especially the major movies are a city unto themselves. I think they are more a blend of corporate business, industry, and the working class.

Colorado Birth certificate update

First and foremost I wish to apologize to everyone on this site for spamming the blog links. I wish there was another place to post where most would see it. But if most are like me, they never wander past the Home Page.
Okay, I thought this was appropriate because of the readers on this site may be interested in what has been accomplished even if they weren't born in Colorado.

Audio Books, be warned

Received an email from a company who supposedly promotes books for authors and publishing companies who don't have the means or manpower to do it themselves. There are Book Fairs in Germany and India among many others where the larger publishing companies, and the book store chains bid on the book, bid on owing the writer's rights to all his her stories, legal right to distribution in a certain area, a nation, or world wide. The choices are endless and of course so are the prices the bidders offer for each selection.

Thank you to BCTS staff and readers

First, thank you to all those who not only keep BCTS up and running but all those who support BCTS with their donations of monetary, their stories and their time. For some reason I found a home here reading all the great authors who are actually better than anything I ever read coming from NYT Best Seller list. If we had only a few of those authors on our list of writers, I have no doubt the publishing company would be putting out top selling stories month after month. I'm so glad they have found an outlet for their exceptional writing talents.

A voice of buttered honey

Not everyone appreciates Opera, I'm one of those people. Not everyone appreciates Heavy Metal Bands, Yep that's me again. There are so many singers (vocalists) who if they didn't have a band drowning them out, or an electronic studio smoothing out, remixing; and just generally at least change their screeching into something reasonable as human speech; they would never make it outside the sleaze joints where everyone became too drunk to care. I know it's sacrilegious but I only like two of Elvis songs and one of Michael Jackson.
