Well. Here we are again. My Birthday. Under normal circumstances, I don't get presents on my Birthday any more. I've grown accustomed to that. This year, however, I get a BIG present from the courts. On Monday the 18th, the final court decree becomes final, and my name change is legal. All I have to do after that is go through my life of documentation and change everything. LOL!
I'm also in the midst of my 7th year here at Top Shelf/Big Closet. Wow! How time flies when you're not paying attention, huh? It's been quite a ride so far, and I'm looking forward to many more years, together here with my Family Of Choice.
God Bless you all, and thank you.

Six Years Twenty-three Weeks
Cathy,
I Just happened to look. Both of us have been here for, Six Years Twenty-three weeks. There must have been some weird space-time continuum event that brought us here the same week.
Glad things are going well for you,
Blessings,
Beth

Hi Cathrine
Happy Birthday and congrats on the name change. I've had my name change done since Jan of 2010 so I know what you mean about changing tons of documentation, but also know the Joy of having the name I always should have had.
It is also so nice to be able to face myself and the world everyday as the girl/woman I should have been since birth. As of this May it will be 2 yrs full time, and some of the best, most happiest years of my life.
Not sure about you but I am accepted and supported by what family I have left and so far to best of my knowledge have not lost one old friend and made several great new ones.
Just a reader rather than a writer but I consider the authors and readers here at BC family and a place to call home.
((((((hugs))))))
Always

Another year older and deeper in debt.
Title Reminds me of an old country song Sixteen Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you
Then the left one will
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
May Your Light Forever Shine
May Your Light Forever Shine
Thank you everyone.
I guess I've answered a question posed by the Beatles. "Will ya still need me, when I'm 64."
God Bless you all.

As a T-woman, I do have a Y chromosome... it's just in cursive, pink script.
Happiest B'Day!!!

Love And Hugs,
