Lost Votes

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Tonight I started to read the newest installment of "Maiden" but had to go back to the previous chapter to Reboot my memory. I remember distinctly reading it a while back and I am quite certain that I voted on it because I have been following the author for a very long time and just love her work.

Lo and behold, I was able to vote again. So, does this mean I have yet another oportunity to double vote; or even tripple, :) for my favorite authors?

Did the thang zero its self? I really do doubt that I forgot to vote before.

HMMMMMMMMMM

Privacy; A Warning

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I had a facebook account that I had totally forgotten about; never used it; real name and everything. Well, both my granddaughters found me there, but then it degraded to the usual stuuupid crap. Then some of my Muslim friends found me there. I never thought I would ever worry about being outed again.

Well, I cancelled it, myspace, and every other on line chat group I had. Today, I was checking google, and someone had taken my name and information and combined it with the picture of a really HOTTT!!!! stripper. NOT GOOD.

I am regretting a lot right now.

SKYPE

Author: 

For those with SKYPE, a VoIP phone, I have always been frustrated by having to switch from speakers to earphones when I wanted to talk on the phone. I had somehow thought that I needed to make a switch box to do this, and so finally after months of forgetfulness, finally bought the parts to do it.

SRS

As I think about my own SRS and the attendant frustrations, I wonder if Penile inversion is the best route to take? Perhaps it would be best to do an intestinal resection because, what I am hearing, is that lubrication is better and dilation much less frequent after the initial healing period.

Owing to my own lack of diligence perhaps, dilation continues to be about as much fun as scrubbing the toilet. So far, there is absolutely nothing fun about it. All this is simply a question, and a little whining on my part.

IE 8 Beta

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I got an email from a friend I spent 3 weeks with in Thailand, urging me to download IE 8 Beta. Well, I trust her not to send me something bad, at least not willingly. There seemed to be a healthy financial incentive to do it too.

Well, I downloaded it about 2 hours ago and am now back on Firefox, feeling quite cross about my experience. I am emotionally laying on the floor kicking my feet and throwing a tantrum. :( Severely bummed

My son sent this to me, and I don't know how to respond, except that I disagree with it. I am sending him the link to this blog so that he can see what you all think.

The use of contractions

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Recently someone who was critiquing my work informed me that I needed to use more contractions. I have thought about that for a while. I am trying to finish a short story I am about to post; trying to use them, and have come to the conclusion that I simply do not like them. It is not my voice! For a reason that completely eludes me, I find them distasteful!

It would be like my speaking in a Texas drawl and swearing. While there is certainly nothing wrong with the Texas drawl, or not much wrong with colorful language in very measured use, it is just not me.

Disturbance in the force

Author: 

Internet Explorer is not the only thing being funky today. For the last several days, Yahoo Mail, GMail, and a few other sites seem to be suffering from a disturbing influence. Even my toaster burned the toast!

Mmmmewwwwwaaahhhhhhhhh!

Being Safe

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Having come through the Rememberance day, I have a few observations to make. The statistics surrounding T life frighten me right out of my wits; making me want to hide in my room and never go out. There are some things about the killings that strike me though.

Several of them were after midnight after the tgirl had left a club alone. One was while she was walking down a country road alone. After a while I begin to see a pattern. I think about what other women that I know would do.

!@#%$Men !!@%$!@#$

Author: 

So, I'd been out today to get glasses but my appointment isn't for a month. Being Lenscrafters, I thought I would walk right in and get them. Well, for one reason or another; choose any of three, it wasn't that way. It could have been my Hijab, but I doubt that they tumbled to the idea that I was one of those pervert trannies.

My frustration with Lulu

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I have loaded down two different works from Lulu and while most of it went well, I have actually gotten both of them free. It was not my intent, but they never did actually charge me for either work.

I will likely go download some of Nancy's work off Lulu but I worry that the problem will come up again.

I just want this to be part of the pubic record. I have never intended to defraud them, it is their fault.

The Dog Ate My Homework!

I was already to have an editor take a look at Desert Princess 3 this week and when I went looking for it, it was gone! I simply can not understand what happened to it, though there may be some chance of getting it back when I go back to Portland and hook up to my external Hard Drive.

Bed Bugs

I'm OK; I can be a nasty little bitch when pushed. However, should anyone be getting little bites that heal poorly, you may have them. There is a Yahoo group detailing aggressive ways to deal with this. Please use it. Otherwise, you will live in hell until you quit relying on the pest control operators.

An telephone GBLT interview

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

A few weeks ago, there was an on line GBLT survey. But I just got word of a study being done by a professor in Illinoise. His email is below. Apparently he has not had enough response to his original query and really needs us. This may not be suitable for some of you for security reasons, but hopefully some of you will respond. Enjoy.
