It was Halloween night and Ted, the cabbie picks up a nun in front of the mall.

She gets into the cab, "Please take me to Saint Barnabas Catholic Church."

Just a general blog post here.

I had a rough time sleeping last night. I’m not one for nightmares but I did have one last night. In this dream I was outted at work. I was harassed and degraded by people I have worked with for 7 years. I had nurses that I really liked; scream at me for even looking at them. I guess that this is just me dealing with my fears of being outted.

Dr. Phil had a show today about Gender Confused children. There was a couple on there that are allowing their child to live as a girl and they were supported on the one hand by a very knowledgeable therapist who has worked with countless children. Dr. Phil played the skeptic and interviewed the child and insinuated that the mother influenced her in this. The child just went to her mother and asked her what the name of the condition she had. The mother told her and that was why she knew what the terms meant.

I was reading over my stories again, which I do from time to time, and I noticed that in some of the comments, the readers are saying that my stories are unrealistic, and overly optimistic.

Saw this on YouTube today, in video format.

It was read by a young lady (my guess is college-age) and is a very powerful commentary on the state of the world and the "Lost Generation" that is coming up in it now. At first, this seems like an unbearable message, but please hang in there until you've read through all of the post and instructions.

Goodness, some of you missed me, I'm overwhelmed. I had a nice week away, and although the weather could have been better - one day was a wash out - I enjoyed myself. I walked miles bird watching, and was reasonably rewarded. I teamed up with a couple who hadn't hired a car, so we went off most days looking for spots to watch for new species of birds. Andy was better at it than I was - I haven't done much of it for years, so didn't get my eye in, until the end of the week.

I'm doing my music homework which involves listening to drums and writing down the rhythms. The dog thinks someone is at the door. :) I'm going to have to use headphones. :)

I was upset to discover that sometime within the last month, Karen Michelle pulled her stories off of Storysite. I am a big fan of her stories. "My Mom, My Bestfriend" and "Beware The Zealots" and I was hoping to read them again. I am very disappointed that they are no longer there.

Hugs,

We've just had some horrible news here. Two women have died due to brutal attacks. A news reporter and a single mother have died. The mother died while taking a shower. Her ex-boyfriend beat down a door and shot her while her children were in the house. Anne Pressly, an ABC local reporter, was brutaly beaten by an unknown assailant last Sunday night in her house and died of her injuries just a while ago. We are heartbroken over both incidents. When will this madness end?

I am happy to report that my friend Melissa Dawn Northe, better known has Prairie_Girl_64 will have a new story to post tomorrow.

My writing has been, w-e-l-l, just about dead the past few weeks, what with limited computer time and all. SO!

Echoes- about a page short of being ready for testing on live subjects.

There is a new television on show on WE cable channel on Tuesday nights at 11 p.m. eastern standard time till 1 a.m. called Sex Change Hospital. Each episode is one hour long and profiles one new male to female transsexual and one female to male transsexual each episode and the surgeon is Dr. Bowers in Trinidad Colorado. It is very informative and done tastefully.

Hugs,

Hey is something going on at Star Dust? I can't seem to log on this morning. All I get is site not found. Hope its nothing serious. :)

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.

Writing for a character that seems to have a mind of her own is a hoot. It's some of the most fun that a writer can have. Drew/Annie in TIP is such a character. One of the funniest things about writing for her are the things she seems to think but isn't willing to write down. After all, she's supposed to be telling the story and some things are just too embarrassing. ;>

I've got the next one almost done and plan to post it Thursday or Friday. And for the furriners who don't play baseball, well, stay tune. ;>

Just a quick update on my story writing goings-on. I am working on a story for the All Souls Day Contest and I'm hoping to have it up within the week. After that, I have some older stories I wrote a little while back and I'm thinking of posting those -- unless a new idea creeps into my head, and that does happen!

Cheers,
Lisa

Hello all,

Sorry about the delays since the last chapter for Jason's Story.

"What's the point?" To quote one of my autistic children when things have gone wrong for him.

This is a test, to learn how to imbed an image into a story. (Yes, I've a new story on the way, and it will have a few pictures in it... So, I've got to learn how to do this. Sorry.

No comments for over three hours in the middle of the day? That's just weird when this site averages over 3 comments an hour and generally manages 2 even in the middle of the night. Anyone having problems with the commenting mechanism?

Hugs,
Erin

for now, at least

I'm having problems getting on line. Right now, I'm running at a screaming 21,600 bps. 28.8K seems a distant dream. :-/

As I have been requested, I have revamped Kelly's Journey, But I am retitling it so that each chapters title reflects the story within.
That includes a Title Page.

I must warn the readers that there are several scenes where you will need a napkin to dry your eyes. For me, this story has been a journey of self discovery, because in many ways, I am Kelly.

The court cases mentioned in Chapter 13 of Emerging from the Cocoon were actual cases.

Resulting from a comment made by Geoff on the latest Aunt Greta-sode, I was enthroned on the loo this morning when my somewhat over-active–for so early in the day–braincells came up with a TG Limerick.

I posted a little story here recently, titled 'Reunion' and it got slightly different reactions depending where.

In my world of trying to find a place to be me, things can seem very serious; even hopeless and oppressive at times. Something happened this morning to put it all in perspective, though it took a while to sink in.

I've heard from a few readers who have been following my tale Forever Claire about how Claire would handle male puberty and become the woman, if you've read in the beginning, that she becomes.

I had some good advice about this, but to be honest, I wrestled with even addressing it. I want Forever Claire to maintain some the form of sweetness and innocense that I've tried to portray.

Hi just wanted to say i love this site.

but as you can see I realy miss some of the storys that are gone. SK8R girls is one of them, Being Chistine Chase is another one and of course those Authors that have passed on with storys still here. I have gotten into Gaby here of late

I first want to praise all those writers and admin staff on BCTS for the excellent content which appears here. For myself, I knew nothing of this site until my friend Mellissa (prairie_girl_64) passed away. I was entrusted with looking after her estate and all her subsequent stories upon which she started and have yet to be completed and/or are completed and need editing.

This has been an unusual week. The reason you've seen as many Forever Claire Chapters? There's been a slight change of schedule, one I wasn't aware of before the week began.

I didn't realize this was the week of fall break where I take ballet classes. I hate it. I miss it.

This is another thing my son preformed, except it was live, and taped. Good quality viewing on youtube look for "Erik Carlson preforming Heartbreak Hotel at eXposure". Yep he can also dance. Arecee

I was on the M25 the other day on the way to picking up my significant other from Mummy in Law.

For those lucky enough not to live in, near, around or have to encounter the M25, it is the motorway that bypasses London. You can go all around it and pick your exit to bring you near to your destination without having to go through London.

Hello everyone,

I want to thank those who took the time to comment on the story and or send messages to me directly. There were some good, strong critics about the story's weaknesses and I thought I would try to elicit some further discussion.

I finally finished Show Me. I've sent it to my editors and it should be up on line in a week or so, yahoo. Now the waiting begins, tic, tic, tic, tic, Arecee

I finally got a minute and got onto the site and noticed that Angharad had posted a new chapter of Charlotte. (BTW, Thanks for that. I know it has been anxiously awaited by many.) Seeing it caused a scary thought to pop into my often evil little mind. I posted a couple of weeks back and made a comment about her other story line which is ongoing.

Off on vacation today.

No email except via evil blonde's laptop or free computers in motels. Off to the UP of Michigan, Minn, northern WI depending on rain and color. Might go to waterfalls, lots of them.

I recently came across this amazing guitarist that I thought I'd share with you all. The music starts a bit slow but when the guitar gets going it's fantastic. Just click the picture to full screen and watch his hands and fingers move over the instrument.

I realise that the enjoyment of music is a personal thing and it might not appeal to everyone but I really enjoyed this peice.

Who is the "you" here? That is up to you.

This is the sort of thing that pulls me back from the edge. Enjoy.

I was checking "My Stories" to see if anybody had read one today. I do this infrequently, not as if I'm anal-retentive, usually only once a day (OK, twice a day) and there was a "run" on the first piece I ever dared to publish on BC. Twelve reads!! What's going on? I wondered. Then I was scrolling down and I'm in the Jewel Box for a year ago. My first effort, a year ago already.

I have to admit the wheels are a turning a good bit...

I know some authors wait until they've completely written their stories to post. I've always been one to write chapter by chapter.

Came acoross a little internet fun-type quiz thing and thought I would share :)

I've run across a couple of titles which contain explicit sex scenes for lovers of good old porn. So all of you under 18 have to steer clear of the following.
