First, if this law was in California in 1944, maybe Holly Hart wouldn't have had a radical hysterectomy at the age of ONE DAY:

Howdy y'all!

Well, after a visit to the doctor's, I found out I have a yeast infection in my throat.

Thanks to a friend of the site (they can name themselves if they want, I didn't want to presume) I have my very own website. That means I am not only an author, but a webpage as well.

Well, watching Today this morning, saw the announcement that Chelsea Manning (and I probably didn't spell her first name right) and her desire to transition.

You go girl.

My blog the other day was very brief. Although I knew her death was coming I was still in shock when I wrote the blog. She was one of my virtual sisters in the Evil Witch family. She was my roommate for almost six years. She took in homeless; I was one of them. She edited, and in many cases improved the English of many writers here. She was the virtual mother of Penny Cardin, Heather Rose Brown and Shannon Johnson. Her alter ego was in some of the Little Kids Kamp stories. She tried to unsuccessfully change, for another person, a gold star to a Congressional Medal of Honor.

It's the middle of August and we still aren't halfway to our goal for July. There've been a lot of unexpected medical expenses and while the hardware fund has collected some money, that last $500 was from me.

I want everyone to know how much we appreciate your gifts, we couldn't do this without help. Piper's work on the servers has made BC stable and reasonably fast. If you appreciate that work and can afford to, a few dollars would be a great help.

Thanks and hugs,
Erin

So i promised a picture awhile ago. Well I went to ren fair in sterling NY and got this taken.

Just a quick note

Here I am, fairly late at night, had maybe one wine too many, tears streaming down my face as I listen to Phil Collins' "Another Day In Paradise", a song that I love, but it always makes me feel so guilty.

The destitute woman pleads for help and the man pretends he doesn't hear and ignores her. Which of us at some time hasn't done the same? Ignored that desperate plea for help because it was too embarrassing or inconvenient, or too much trouble.

In the wake of our loss, Beverly's mom in law passed rather suddenly as well, just the day before we lost Holly. Beverly is a warm, talented and loving member here and I felt it behooved me to at least make you all aware of this fact.

The story WAKING IN HEAVEN was writen for WREN when she died I keep thes story in my favorites to read when someone passes . The sad part is I know it almost word for word with the amount of our friends that have passed over since the beginning of 2013 .
If you have not read this it is a great tribute to all our late friends

The Family Girl Blogs (aka "The New Working Girl Blogs") Blog #64: Just going away for a couple of months. Peace! To see all of Bobbie's Family Girl Blogs, click on this link: http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/book/28818/family-girl-blogs

Hi, everyone. Will be away for a couple of months, so don't get mad, or worry if you don't see me logging on or posting for a bit. Peace! Sweetie and I are just taking some time off from everything, to recover from the loss of the baby. Just need some alone time. I'm sure you understand.

For those of you considering publishing or have published e-books, especially on Amazon, I have a little bit of advice; advertise.

I had to spew this somewhere, and this seemed the most likely place to do so.

Those of you who started transitioning in the 80's, can you tell me a little about your experience, treatments available, time frames involved and any state requirements (doesn't matter which state). No, I did not discover time travel, I am writing an actual transgendered woman into Angel and would like to know what was different vs what's available now. Thank you for your help.

Hugs
Megan

This is nothing but an observation on the state of TG Fiction today.

I don't believe in muses, writing is a cerebral thing and it's something I've always done. I've written Bike most days for the past six years to prove to myself it can be done without loads of drama, or special conditions - I just sit there for an hour/ ninety minutes and out pops the next episode. In some ways it's easier than writing from scratch because my characters are well established and I have plot lines I can continue or even pick up from a while back.

It meant a lot to me. I was thrilled to hear from both new friends and old. I've replied to everyone and will continue to do so.

Before I say (write?) anything else, I'd like to extend my thanks publicly to Jaci and Dorothy for allowing me to be part of their crazy little gathering. Yes, folks, I actually survived an online conversation with those two. Though I have to say my participation was mainly limited to laughing hysterically at their antics--more, in fact, than I believe I've done in a long time.

It's almost like Birthday - I've been a registered user on this site now for Six Years and One Day - That excludes about two years being a guest reader on top that. Richard

[Cod German accent] Very interesting...

Today is the big 70 for me, and all things considered, it beats the heck out of the alternative. Those who knew me as a teen looked at me, shook their heads and said, "That crazy SOB will never see 30". Well to all of them: Raspberries!

I'm still around and going strong, and whats more I've had fun every day of my life. Though I gripe and bluster a bit on occasion, What's the point of being 70 if you can't be a little curmudgeonly once and a while? But I want you all to know that I love and respect everyone here and that you are all my adopted family.

So, since my SRS in August of 2007, dilation has been painful and icky to the point that I eventually just abandoned it for like years!

Has anyone heard or seen anything of my compatriots, Alys and Ceri?

As we probably all know, Google regularly likes to pay homage to pop culture. They've had a bit of Whoniverse fun recently with StreetView.

I wanted to say a special thank you to all of you who have blogged or posted stories here or on BTCS's sister sites. In the 3 years that I have been visiting BCTS I have read a lot in order to better understand myself and other people's orientations.

I don't blog much but I was looking at my stories list since I had some more hits and kudos.

The Getty Museum has begun scanning and placing their collection of artwork that is Public Domain online. That means there are a lot of neat pieces of art that may be used free without seeking permission from them to use it. They ask that you credit them for scanning it in your notes. I know a lot of individuals look for artwork for their stories here, so I thought I would share. You would definitely need to resize the images from their current size to use though (easy with Gimp or Photoshop). Anyway, here's the link to their press release, and a link to the gallery!

I just had a shocking conversation with my mom. I was on the phone with Jaci, and apparently my mom remembers me coming home from school in a dress at age 13 and doing a little twirl for her. For some reason, this is making me tear up ...

I seems like everyday is normal until your birthday comes along, and everyone gets excited about it. People celebrate it with you, your family especially. Right?

Governor Brown signed some important legislation into law today. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/12/california-transgen...

Labyrinth had its moments, but for me nothing can beat the 'waltzing dress' scene from Ridley Scott's Legend.

It is sheer cinematic perfection.

is in hospice care as I type this. According to the best information I have right now, she is not expected to live much longer unless hospice care can bring her back.. Apparently the cancer was worse than we knew. This might be the hardest thing I've ever had to write.

I've just a few days ago stopped taking the last of my sleeper pills and am feeling weird but OK.

I've asked Erin to change my author name and I've changed my user name from JadenSkywalker8, so that it more reflects who I am mentally.

Hi everyone!

First off, I want to kill my cat at times. I love Pepper, so named because as a kitten it looked like someone put pepper on her hose,but she drives me crazy.

I've posted a new story, Cynthia and the Solicitous Sisters-In-Law, Part 1. The story will be in three parts. I played with the idea of posting it all at once because it is quite short - only 14,500 words; however, decided to do it this way. The action picks up considerably in the next part. I think there may be a message in the story; however, at the moment, I'm not too sure what it is.

just wrote a bit of fluff. Hope you guys enjoy it ....

I cannot believe all the negative comments on this article... and about Transsexuals. This person was DISCRIMINATED against for being who she is! Hello? Any of that sound vaguely familiar to anyone else? Gee, what about the Blacks and their fight for THEIR rights? What about women and THEIR fight or their rights? I suppose all you negative folks here think that all blacks should still be slaves and all women should be barefoot and pregnant, huh? Remember this. The same things you all are saying about Transsexuals, were said about blacks and women who were fighting for equality!
