I ran across this article this morning at AE Brain. It seems that a clerical error sent a woman to a man's prison with all the unfortunate consequences. This happen in Durban Africa.

I hate to say it but the new posting of Once the Hero at StarDust will be delayed. I've been hit with a migraine headache from hell and like always I'm taking awhile to recover. I hope it is only a day or two, but for everyone's sanity I have to send it off first to Hope and Kimmie. Yes, my grammar and spelling is that bad! I do have a list of characters that I'll post instead of that last chapter.

Again sorry everyone!

Hugs!

Oh My! Once the Hero Part 12 is up! For some reason today I had a bear of a time getting it posted. If not for my habit of copy/pasting to a empty doc just in case I would've had to start over several times. I don't normally have a problem but Oh MY Goodness I did today! So I'm not only a bit later than normally but have used up my allocation of curses for the week! The later third is still in some kind of weird format but I'll fix that as soon as I find out how!

Hey it's Sunday and that means the next Part of Once the Hero is up at StarDust! I never really intended to name these 'parts' since the only reason I split them up was for convenience in size for posting. However certain events do happen in each of them so this weeks Part 11 I've named Loose Cannons. You see Maggie did an Oops. :)

What's Up! Once the Hero Part 9 is up at StarDust! As always a big thanks to Hope, and Kimmie for their help cleaning it up. Another thanks goes to Faraway and his help with Russian culture and language issues! More thanks to all my readers and commentators who help make this story just a little better than it would be without you all!

Thanks!!!

Hugs!

Hey everyone! Part 7 is up at Stardust.

Hey everyone!

I'm researching a story and I have a question that I can't find the answer to. Does a modern metal hull ship have anything to fear from even a bad lighting storm at sea? What I can find suggests no real problems. The metal hull and purposely designed systems channel the lightning away into the sea just as a lightning rod protects a house by grounding it. Even wooden ships had systems to protect them as early as the mid 1800's.

Hey everyone. The next chapter of Once the Hero is up at StarDust. I was running a little late today but it's up now. I've finally nailed down the last parts so we'll looking at 14 total parts/posts. The divisions were made solely on the need to keep them down to about 10 to 12k each. I did try to find reasonable good places for the splits but some of them are unbalanced, a little lacking in action. Trust me as we countdown to the end action will not be missing!

"I See You" is one of the lines in James Cameron's movie Avatar. While it doesn't have any TG in it, there are transformations both physical and spiritual. Gwen's recent admission that she'd seen the movie 3 times in 3D no less has made me admit that I've seen it twice, once in Imax 3D and once in only 3D. It is one heck of a visual treat, but for a story that many seem to put down for being simple and had already been done, it has made me cry. Twice. I knew that scene was coming but I still was reaching for those napkins I kept handy just in case.

Hey again everyone!
First things first! Part 4 of Once the Hero is up at StarDust!

Now the rest of the story. HER and Kimmie has both PMed me about grammar errors within the story. Being the wonderful people they are they volunteered to help proof and fix those. What this means is there are going to be small differences between what is posted at BC and StarDust until I can get around to getting everything caught up.

Both HER and Kimmie has my deepest thanks for their work.

Hey Everyone! Just a quick note to let everyone know that Part 2 of Once the Hero is up at StarDust. Like I said last week, the newest stuff will hit StarDust first and then a week later make its way to BCTS. To reassure everyone, the whole thing is finished so this will not be another incomplete work. As long as it is I would've had to split it up in parts anyways. This way gives me the added advantage of being able to take advantage of you sharp eyed readers out there spotting errors and letting me do some bandaging and damage control.

Hopefully I'll have two fairly long stories that will post soon. Because of their length they'll be in chapter sized chunks. Also because I want to help support Bob's Star Dust they will be posted first there. I guess I'm just sentimental because not was my very first story posted at Star Dust but Bob was the very first person to comment on one of mine.

As most who has been following BCTS’s Girl on the spot, Catherine Linda Michel know, she, Holly Happy Hart, Khadja, and I attended SSC last week.

Today my wife and I had to do a hard thing. Our beloved half-Rottie Lab went to sleep for the last time. It broke our hearts but Delta had cancer. She had already survived one operation, but there was nothing anyone could do when it once more came back. Delta was 11 years old and had been with my wife for ten years after the dog had been rescued from a bad home. She was a big dog at near 90 pounds but was really a sweet coward. Almost everything would send her into hiding, although her bark would scare anyone. It was so deep it would rattle the windows.

Well, I'm up early today. I've been thinking about life because somehow, someway, I have today completed 47 orbits about Sol while a passenger on planet Dirt, err ... Earth. As I get ready to start my 48th, I do wonder about it all. It's no wonder that from the very beginning I have always been the outsider looking in. With the deluxe basket of unwanted gifts including learning disabilities as well as some favor of TG, I am also blessed. I am and have been more or less healthy. Unlike, some of the other girls here, I have never been physically abused.
