I was looking over the front page and notice how different everyone posts look. I know some people know how to make title art and some don't but there are a few things that everyone can do in order to make the front page look a little cleaner or organized and probably load a bit quicker for us all.

So... found this link after I got a email from Bn, Since I own a nook color.

One of the drawbacks to writing a novel is that I don't get the instant satisfaction of getting feedback, nor do I know if I am spot on with what I am trying to accomplish. It is a lonely world, filled with imaginary characters doing what I tell them to do, but they can't tell me if I'm doing a good job or not.

Definitely one from the weirder side of the news - Hong Kong property tycoon Cecil Chao has offered HK$500 million ($65 million) to any man who can woo her away from her lesbian partner. Gigi Chao has eloped with her partner to France and the pair have had a church blessing.

If that wasn't bizzare enough, she's not cross with dad. "I'm actually on very, very loving terms with my father. We speak on a daily basis. He just has a very interesting way of expressing his fatherly love."

Well, I just got back from seeing my family doctor, and things are finally moving forward again. He'd been waiting for the results of my bloodwork, and with that now arrived, he faxed everything to the gender specialist, and I go on to the next step, trying to lose the weight.

He's sent information to a medically supervised program, and when they get back to me, I can really get going on it. Not going to be easy, because he wants me to lose around 50 pounds, but with determination and perseverance, I can make it.

It all ties into the same thing really...

Today, David Cameron and Alex Salmon signed a contract to hold a referendum in Scotland to determine if it should remain as part of the United Kingdom, become a separate country, or, perhaps, chose some status incorporating features of both. This referendum is scheduled for 2014, so there will be plenty of time to discuss the pros and cons, coming to a consensus.

Been thinking a lot about my attractions to people since I did the "elephant in the room" post, and I found something odd looking back at the girls I had crushes on.

I come to this site almost daily. I see blogs that seem to pique my interst and others that don't.

Yesterday I talked about being in the company of another trans girl suffering with a lack of confidence in her looks, despite the fact she is really good looking, and last night, it was like God decided to drive the point home to me.

I sat with some other girls at work on our lunch break, and listened as one talked about her struggles with her appearance, and how even now as an adult she sometimes finds it an issue.

And this is a genetic girl and a rather pretty one at that telling this story.

I've been online for over ten years now. From the very beginning it amazed me that the level of acceptance and compassion was as high as it was, and is.

So I'm going to be needing to do permanent hair removal, electrolysis, to my face. This is supposed to be EXTREMELY painful... I've been holding off on really looking into getting started on it partially because of the cost of the procedure itself when done professionally, and partially because of the added cost of getting myself anesthetized beforehand.

There are products out there for around $20 that can do at-home galvanic electrolysis, so that's not really a big problem if I can just get up the gumption to DIY it...

so anyway …

I read the blog Angharad posted about the doping issue in modern cycling and it is a sad truth to face. However, I did happen upon an article about an elderly cyclist that is putting quite a few of the "current crop" of professional cyclists to shame. The gentleman in question is 100 years old and recently set a 14.4 mile an hour pace over the stretch of 100km (62 or so miles). Admittedly, I don't know much about cycling, but I do know being able to set, and keep, a pace like that isn't anything to sneeze at. Never-mind the fact that he did it at his age.

Yesterday I came home for work, my roommate was up and about (sort of weird for her, she normally sleeps until noon). She told me she was going out for the day and would be back in the evening to help me with Sunday papers. I told her cool, but she wasn't obligated (I appreciate the help, but every time she comes she has the look like it is utter torture).

Since I mentioned it yesterday, I might as well tell the story of how I came to run for president of the student council in high school.

I hit the refresh button to check on the kudo and comments because apparently I am a rat in one of those science experiments for cocaine addiction and I can’t get enough of my fix when I noticed that the whole chapter seems to have been deleted and taken off the front page. Did I press the wrong button? Did the site do a hiccup? Is god (erin) out to get me?

Or is this like… an intervention?

“Scout you are too dependent upon other peoples opinion of you it’s time to cut you off”

It's done! Er, sort of...

Well, I've finally done it! I finished writing the final story in my Ragnarok Rising trilogy. Well, almost.

There is an elephant in my room. A big, smelly elephant leaving droppings all over the place, but I dont want to see it.

I have become a ditz. I don't know if I should blame the hormones because some of the ditziness occurred before I started taking it, but I'll blame it anyway because that's what ditzes do. Unfortunately, the following stories are true:

Two uplifting Youtube videos that highlight us as who we are

The new tv series Arrow is a take on Green Arrow. I've just finished the pilot episode- this series looks promising- I'm waiting for the next one with anticipation.

For those of us that have problems with our Prostate levels. Mines real high even on the meds but I thought I'd share. Enjoy

For those of you who havent heard yet, Jim Sandusky, the former assistant coach of the Pen State has been sentenced to between 30 and 60 years in prison for molesting young boys.

I'm really starting to become paranoid. It started with the hearing of someone call out my name in my house the other night and the house being empty. Now I got this eerie feeling that someone is planning to burn down my house. I keep waiting to pull up my street and then be pinned in by the police, or FBI.

Just wondering what happened to the stories by Topsy, I can't seem to find them anywhere on BC and I really enjoyed them.

my appointment is in just 2 hours

A week ago Monday we equaled the number of stories and chapters that FictionMania has archived and by Thursday we had definitely passed their mark, currently we have about 40 more stories than they are showing, though both sites have seen new stories posted in the past week.

Thanks everyone!

Recently I made a post that was pretty down. I am getting better, working with my GT helps, but still it creeps up on me sometimes. If I made anyone nervous I apologize, overall many of you are better friends than I have in life.

One of my co-workers told me I'm kind of an ambassador, which I kinda struggled with as a concept.

In my new book I have a scene where a bunch of friends are having lunch and holding a conversation. The issue I am having is how to make the conversation flow without ending each line with A said B said A replied C added to the conversation etc.

Could anyone provide a way to make this work where it seems natural or point to an online reference. THANKS

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, everyone.

I was reading this book about a woman who has a breakdown on my breaks at work, and it got me thinking about visiting my brother in the mental ward when we were both kids.

Bill passed away this morning at 12:26am. (Sunday, October 7th, 2012).

His sister and cousin were with him. I only lasted 10+hours waiting....

I miss him more already.

With all the flashbacks and crap I've been fighting the last while, I havent had a lot of energy for writing. So it may be a while before I publish anything new, although I have the beginnings of a poem written ....

Hi everybody. I don't have a computer right now, and I am using my daughter's. The problem is, I don't see a wordpad or any other writing format I can use to continue my stories. She is using Windows 7. So, to everybody who reads my stories, please be patient until I can get this sorted out.

Hugs,
Barbara

Sometimes you have to tell modesty to take a hike and I don't mean in a whorish way.

The body language works, too. With proper preparation, he would have no problem passing.

Living on a bouncing mood, Today is the birthday of my oldest daughter she is 11 years old today. My youngest will be 8 on the 14 of October. My step son my girls half brother will be 24 on the 27 of October. All of these People have enriched my life so much that I could never think of what my life would have been like with out them. My step son is an upstanding young man who is putting himself through school and has weathered a lot of stormy life experiences with both his honor and humor intact.

I'm going to make this post, as Celebration of the Man I knew. One of the few people in my life, with that designation, that I can say was a positive influence on my life.

First the sad part...

He had a major stroke about 2 weeks ago, and has been unconscious and unresponsive for the last week. The doctors have decided that there is no chance of his body making any recovery, he also has a high fever that they can't get to go down.

Bill was a great Man. He wasn't a politician, he wasn't a super hero, but his present affected many in this community.

Some have commented that I'm posting chapters a little to fast on Belle this week. I'm sorry but I'm trying to get to a certain part of the story but all this...stuff keeps getting in the way as I try to get there.

Want to Sell overactive muse cheap!

Thinking about the possibility of having another rectal exam got me very shaky today, to the point I was actually in tears.

I phoned the doctor's office about the stuff they were supposed to send to the gender specialist, and they dont have any record of the stuff at all. Nothing in my file except I came in for a full work-up, nothing else.

I honestly dont know what to do now.

My best option I think is to get the stuff from the gender doc again, go to a different doctor and go through the whole thing again, but considering I suffered a week of flashbacks after the last time, I would rather not.

This.... sucks.

My second BCTSiversary! ^_^

Some of you will find this silly. That's okay, I'm not always a grownup. I think many will understand.

Where a story just flows and flows and flows? Well I have done two chapters of Belle already and working on a third.

Sorry I need a place to vent Before I explode,. I would like to share some recent information I just discovered. My step Father the terror of my life passed away last year, he received a glowing sendoff by his new family and friends. New because when my mother died in 1999 January 1, he remarried and lived for another 12 years. His obituary held a wealth of information including all of his surviving kin from his recent marriage, all of his community service his square dancing with his new wife etc.
