It means treat everyone like a friend. If you don't feel you can make a public post that says what you want to say without being unfriendly, then don't make the post public. Friends talk over problems in private.

Hugs to all,

Don't bring an attack on a BC author from another site over here and expect to be allowed to rant on my time. And especially don't do it as visitor. This will get your IP address banned from the site and just did, so you ain't the one seeing this unless you login using a different computer. There can't be a clearer signal that one intends to act as a troll.

No trolls allowed except as characters in stories. This meant you, but you don't know it, trollass.

Hugs to everyone else,
Erin

SOS. Same attitude that developed among soldiers in Vietnam, with reason.

Here in southern Afghanistan, I often ask the soldiers what they think about the things folks are saying about the war back home. The question is usually phrased as a simple, "Does the American public get it?"

im a wazzak. no capitals only got one hand. please excuse awful punctuation and stuff.
brolen collar bone. (clavicle to those clever buggers.).
out on my bike this morning. approached pedestrian on the cycle trail at glyncorrwg.

Oddly enough we got a similar phone call a few years ago.

As an author I like to see how many reads a story is getting, call it vanity or something else, but it's important to me and I'm sure to other authors. Now to the point, I see abisimal stories that don't make sense but have all the buzz words, heels, breasts, hormones, implants, the operation and they get reads like crazy. Then you have an absolutely wonderful story that doesn't fall under those precious words left to dangle in the wind. Nancy Cole's While the Band Played Waltzing Matilda is a good example.

So I saw my partner off at the station last Wednesday. Late that evening she phoned to say that when she arrived at the hospital they had cancelled the operation and that they had phoned to tell her! Er, no.

I just happened to hit FM history to see what was posted today in the past and the first one up about floored me. Today is the 10th anniversary of Babs Yeruncle posting her sci-fi space opera Planetary Agents 1. It is hard to believe this oldie but so goodie is 10 now. Now if we could just convince her to finish Agents 3.

I have been a tad busy the last couple of weeks and hadn't checks sites like I normally do. Imagine my surprise when I hit one of my old favorites and found not one, but three new stories by Brandy D. Yes! check them here if interested. http://www.tigger-n-brandy.net/brandy-index.html

I-Dosing: How teenagers are getting 'digitally high' from music they download from internet.

At last, vindication for those of us who suspect the Daily Wail's science reporting isn't all it's cracked up to be.

They've published a story about a phenomenon called I-Dosing, which they claim to be A Bad Thing ^TM.

Sushi receiving late night orders from 'The Master'

There. That's chapter 19 of The Sissy Farm posted.

There may be a slight delay posting part 4 of 'The Boss'. I would have posted on Tuesday 27th July, but will be in hospital on that day for routine tests.

Susie

well, tomorrow is d day. in this case "d" is for dorothy. I am meeting the other members of the TS group at the restaurant for the first time. worried, scared, nervous, those are only a few of the emotions i am dealing with

I was sitting around in a drunken stupor and wondered what your favorite movie was? I read a favorite summer picture survey and wondered what our favorite might be? I thought of mine and chose to list them, fiction and non-fiction My fiction favorites are, let me hear the drums please, Bridge on the River Kwai, Antie Mame, The Great Escape, The Worlds Fastest Indian, Breakfast At Tiffanys, Around The World In Eighty Days, and of course Star War's episode four. Non-fiction has to be On Any Sunday. Well, how about yours? Arecee

Apparently so.

During that time I've commented on oodles of stories, written 13 short tales and have a fourteenth under construction (plus an abandoned story which I might upload somewhere so others can hijack), and somehow came up with the daft idea of producing background resources for this site's very own soap opera... (not to mention persuading a certain Kiwi to help out!)

I have been doing battle the last two days trying to get two of my meds refilled. I have had to deal with the nurse for my Endocrinologist. I have been so frustrated with her I could scream! She interrogated me up one side and down the other about why I needed the refills. I have dubbed her "Nurse Nightmare, because it is a real nightmare dealing with her . I told her that my prescriptions were expired. She kept arguing that I couldn't be out of refills. The doctor put five refills on there, but there is no way that I use five vials in a year.

Well, my cluster headaches are back. It is like a migrane, but centered on my right eye and going down to my mouth. I am convinced that the stress of my situation is playing a role in this pain. Which makes it more imperitive that I figure out a way to get some hope, and fast.

Here is the fourth chapter. I am also going to post a separate file for the List of Characters. It will have all of the characters for Books 1 and 2. There will be some chapters that I will post that will not have the characters listed with the chapter. That list will get longer and longer if I do that. The main list will be modified as needed.

I'm taking a couple of days away from BCTS so the next chapter of Robin will be slightly delayed.

I apologize for the delay.

Haven't been on BC much lately, too much turmoil in my life. Lost my job and have been preparing to move so I might get one doing basic factory labor for less than half what I'm used to making I don't mind working, but my health issues have been none too stable for the last year, and this isn't going to help. And the move also means closing up my house (MY house, bought and paid for!) and moving in with my brother, so I'm losing a significant amount of personal freedom as well.

So it has been 41 years on this earth as of 2:30 this 22nd day of July. I am most thankful for my Family though there is just the 4 of us, as it has been Since Davids Parents Passed 4 years ago. I am happy my dear Daughters have each other and Hope to be a Grandmother in about 10 years, I know it will probably come much sooner than that. After all One is 17. I have been fortunate to make so many friends in so many different places.

This may be of importance to T folk because some of us want to know what is in the public record or are trying to locate loved ones.

Last night I happened upon what I thought was a legitimate service called, "Intelius" for looking at public records, first to see what is in mine and second to hopefully locate two of my children. Much to my surprise, the actual sign up was rife with loops and diversions to entice me to sign up for even more. I thought I was spending $39.95 but by the time I was finished, I paid $69.99.

No I'm not going to go through that old one about how you give a cat a pill, but for reference, you can find it here.

Instead, I'm going to tell you how yesterday I risked life and limbs (I have the gouges, scratches, lacerations and other abrasions to show for it) to take our cat, Sammo, to the vet.

I have an 80 page manuscript that I just found. It is in Typewritten print. Perhaps I did it on a Typewriter, so that would say before 82'. I also had a scanner that I could scan it in with but I have never liked the program that puts it into a file on the computer.

Has the technology improved so I could go to Kinkos or somewhere and get it done or am I going to intput it myself?

Thanks

A major milestone passed today... And, I felt the need to share it with my friends.

Interesting article spotted in this week's New Scientist:

"IN 2010 we need to ask afresh just how deep the rabbit hole goes when it comes to gender politics - and how far we are from digging ourselves out. Our beliefs about differences between the sexes have an impact on society vastly out of proportion to the magnitude of those differences, from female scientists defending their mathematical and technical expertise to boys accused of lacking the communication and emotional skills to succeed at school."

New Scientist: Opinion | Out with pink and blue: Don't foster the gender divide | 19th July 2010

It would be so nice to get the general UK opinion of this movie supposedly about an American girl in an English Boarding School.

I posted Chapter 3. The pace will definitely pick up now. Enjoy the ideas I suggested here. There are more to discover along the way.

Rachel

well, I feel like a coward. I went to my sunday meeting at the pride center, and it was good. But on my way home, I wanted to stop and get gas for my car, and I couldnt do it. I couldnt be seen as dorothy. Sigh.

Parents' Day has been passed, and now it's time to start working on what comes next.

Which leads me to the question presented in this blog: do readers want to experience Beck's Thanksgiving break at Sarah's, including some more fun times around the town of Persistence, or would you rather me move right on to the buildup to Christmas?

When I posted the last blog, I wasn't planning on repeating. But, an event this morning caused me to think, and I wanted to post somewhere. So, you got "elected".

This morning, one of those events that can just "get to you" happened...

Well, Georgina 2 is up. I want to apologise for the delay, not only did real life get in the way, but I got sidetracked by some of Margaret Jeanette's story endings that kept rolling around in my brain and wouldn't let me do anything else. Now all I've got to do is write part 3. I hope this won't take as long. I hope that part 2 will not disappoint anyone. I found the tears welling up when I wrote the ambulance journey. I don't know why, they just did. I knew Sam would make it, so why did I want to cry?
Anyway. my thanks to everyone who read my stories and to those that comment.

Love
Sam

I actually managed to finish (more or less) my Summer Romance contest entry last night. It's kind of rough, but done. I still need to do some minor formatting stuff with it and give it a title. Then I'll go through it one last time and probably tidy up the ending a bit. So I'll probably be posting it sometime between eight and ten tonight (Pacific Time). A bit last minute, I know, but this one has been a bit of a pain.

I have recently been considering Animation where characters are drawn with feminine characteristics, I noticed that with Ed, Edd n' Eddy one of three may have been drawn with a feminine bias, its subtle and I think it was done as a teaser.

I wonder what would happen in real life if one developed animated feminine characteristics and as a result looked cartoonish!

On the 16^th of July, 2007, Angharad published Part 1 of this legendary tale.

It may be July, but for the Munchkin it's just a few days before Christmas.

What an amazing journey this has been for me both as an author and, I feel, as a human being, not so much from writing my Robin stories but from my connection with the community here.

I've been thinking for awhile now about what it is I want to do with Robin's tale. I read somewhere recently (I STRONGLY suspect someone's signature right here at BCTS actually :-D) that the sign of a great story is when you dread writing the final chapter.

Chapter 17 of Sissy farm posted. I'll soon be at 19 then the unposted new chapters will start to flow. I dunno how it'll end but probably about thirty-ish chapters. Thirty seems a goodly number. I've already sorted out the femme version of 'The Angry Mermaid.' In my head, it'll be quite a bit different from the 'Normal' version, whatever 'Normal' is! Whilst I'm writing the femme version I'll be using some of my older material as 'fillers' to satisfy appetites.

Well it is better but probably more confusing than ever before. I think it confused more than entertained. I definitely need help any and all suggestions welcomed. Think the problem is more me than anything as i have a 8 track mind and need an upgrade. the problem is I really never wanted to publish the original. But My beloved Husband felt it should be shared so he opened an account as author on Storysite for me and I read it again a couple of weeks ago and could not believe how bad it was so....

I got a Garmin NUVI for nearly free, and while I was setting it up I selected English. So imagine my delight when I was driving down the road and it began speaking to me in English. NO, not American English but what they speak in the UK! She speaks in such a commanding tone; almost compelling me to say "Yes Mum" when she has finished.

When she is speaking American English, I feel like I can say "NO" when she gives me directions I don't like, but when espeakin da queens English, I wouldna dare. It would be the ruler on my bottom it would.

Jolly good.

For many years, I was too in the closet to have some fancy jeans, and then when was thrown out of the closet, I was too poor. Last year, in a moment of insanity, I bought some "True Religion" jeans, tried them on once but was still too sore to wear them. So, this spring, having lost the weight that the psych drugs put on, I took them out, and shortened the legs for my size.

S0rry it is hard for me to write while it is so hot. My home doesn't have AC, Fans help but... I will try to complete another chapter soon.

well, its kinda snuck up on me, but I have noticed its been a while since i really struggled with guilt over my tg issues. I think my decision to be honest with myself, my family, and my God has paid off. Its such a relief to not beat myself up every time I wanted to dress up. That feels like a major victory, to me.

Hi everyone. I'm Trisha Randell. I'm new at this writing thing but I must admit that I'm having my fun trying. I like a story with a twist to it and I hope you all have enjoyed my little posts thus far. I am also enjoying the comments and I hope I haven't left too ugly an impression of Fairy God Mothers. I've always viewed them as elder spirits who come to educate us rather than to perform tricks and change lives as an easy out to what really ails us.
