Things are a little stressed around here. My mom is sick, my dog is sick, and I had a tough moment with Sharon. See, the other night I took my daughter and her mother out for groceries and mentioned I had just written a story and was pretty happy with it. My daughter, who loves stories, wanted to know what I named it, and Sharon butted in and told her "You don't want to know that stuff. It isnt for kids."

So apparently, I cant share the one part of my life I'm actually proud of with my daughter, and it hurts ...

Despite threats from the officials at the Moscow registry office, the two turned up looking like twins, considering Moscow's very strong homophobia, this wasn't against the law. See link to Daily Wail below.

Read it out loud in a valley girl voice. I sat and giggled!

I've been wondering if anyone here has done any TG Fan Fic based Upon game of thrones? Perhaps there would be copyright issues. I do not know how all that works.

Often when I read the comments after a story my mind goes back to the days when you could almost guarantee that one person would be the first with a comment. I miss you Stanman.

I didn't think to include these words in my last post on the other blog, but I see them often enough to re-start this thread.

Can I ask if anyone else is having problems with pictures in stories. This past two weeks I only get about half the pictures to show when I open stories up. This happen about a year ago and I know I have not made any changes to my computer when this started a couple of weeks ago. Richard

The following was written at about four this morning, but I, in an example of supreme boneheadedness, kept it in edit-mode limbo until just a few minutes ago. Read on:

Yes, folks, it only took two years and change, but I did manage to submit a complete story to this month's TG Mixed Tape.

I imagine the feeling of "What the hell have I done?" will follow in due course, but for now, I prefer to ride the high.

My dear sister Jaci is feeling sick, so if you're so inclined, send her some good wishes.

Well I managed to squeeze in some extra web time so you get an extra chapter today!

I spent ages looking for this story of mine which had been wrongly attached to some other stuff, probably by me, and thus not obvious on my non-EAFOAB stories, so I've added a link for those who might have missed it. It was written nearly two years ago but I enjoyed reading it again.

For those who weren't aware of my stories other than Bike, I offer a link to them here.

Rarely Confused Words, Sort Of…

Im stuck at home unable to do much with this gosh darn(polite language) cold. My throat is killing me!

It however has given me some time to play at making a new chapter. It's about halfway done.

For some strange, unknown reason, sometimes I wake up with a song or music running through my head and I can't rest until I work out why this is happening. So this morning as I awoke, "Amazing Grace" was playing in my mind and, along with that was "America The Beautiful!"

After a few moments, the lyrics from "America The Beautiful" and the tune of "Amazing Grace" began to synch up and I suddenly realized that they match up completely! Certainly the tunes are different, but the lyrics from one DO match the melody of the other.

As a few of you know I was in a life changing accident around the beginning of the year that cost me my left leg. Over the past few months I have had my ups and downs with my recovery. As a freelance Network Designer by trade I do a lot of traveling, but until just recently I have not had to fly anywhere. Most of the time I just drive or if needed the Amtrak. (For our overseas readers that is the train.)

Well, some of you might remember a while back one of my male co-workers tried to pat me on the back only for me to freeze like he was going to stab me instead, so I wanted to pass on an update.

Either you get why it's funny or not...

My novel "A Glass Half-Full" is now published on Amazon.com for Kindle.

The time to register to vote is now. Few states allow same day registration. Some of the states have restrictions to voting. Make sure you know what they are and can overcome them.

Yes its that time of year again, a two week trip to Outer Mongolia - not really, just inner Germany!

An actress to never forget who was the inspiration to the story I posted about Piano Man. She played the part of Roxy.
A husky voice to never forget and a truly female female.

Surely missed but a very sexy lady and a lucky man tickles the ivories for her for 15 years.

The simple answer is, QnEZ == Quick and Easy :)

So we started a bit of work today, overhauling our aging IRC network (CyberBrats IRC).

Firstly, an apology. I am sorry that I have not really been around and contributing. I haven't been writing anything over the last few weeks, despite sitting down occasionally and staring at the computer screen. My elderly and cantankerous Dad decided to have a massive stroke about a month ago and was rushed to hospital. He needed regular visiting, which was trying and tiring, as I saw a rapid deterioration in him each time. We had a family holiday booked, with the children and grandchildren, so we took them all away, and I managed to sneak back to the hospital.

Well, my adventures in dog-sitting is over, and I'm glad to be home. I was happy to find out I would have Wi-Fi there, so I was able to peek in on you guys to see if you were behaving, and most of you were ...

Now, I would take a moment to be serious, and talk about putting yourself down.

I have been very guilty of it over the years, but finally, someone managed to make me see that in calling myself down I make it true. Every time I call myself stupid, or ugly, or whatever, I help make that the reality.

Hi Everyone!

As many of you know, we are in the process of starting a few new companies and offering services not only to the T* Community, but expand our services out to the internet as a whole.

One of the services we had the idea of starting, was a "cloud storage" service.

Suddenly we thought: Where better to store your private files, than in Your BigCloset!

Apparently the latest trend sweeping classrooms (schools, colleges, universities) is "Rogeting," named after the famous brand of thesaurus.

Hi,
I have to offer a HUGE apology to anyone reading "For Friends and Family" because I mixed up chapters 3 and 4 posting them in the wrong order.

For some reason when I logged in this morning I got a weird front screen, it loads details on left, no stories and nothing on right, I have to click on stories to see what is out, the problem is before I log in can see everything as usual, when I log in it gets wierd

That great book you read took hundreds of people working behind the scenes working to make the book appear in print. Those great movies aren't made by a few actors-actresses and a camera man. Thousands of people are involved before it is finished and that's not counting the promotions.

Hello! This is a heads-up that my MAU story will be a little delayed. Understanding Spouse just got back from being away on a business trip, so we will be spending time together doing this and that! Perhaps we'll even do the dating thing with dinner and a movie. :)

At tjhe latest I should be able to put up the next chapter before the end of the weekend.

Hugs

I have seen snippets of "Game of Thrones" and find certain scenes far too graphic for my tastes. I am considering purchasing a season of it on DVD to watch and in some of the scenes I have seen on Youtube was greatly surprised to see a whole heart eaten. I hope it was that of a cow or something and not human. I am thinking of not purchasing the series.

It was my son's funeral today. I didn't attend because I knew I'd not be welcome and might have said or done something. According to my ex, some dickhead of a Baptist minister did quite a religious service and didn't mention our family once. It's not just me who is non-religious, my son was as well. One of my daughter's friends told him so afterwards. Again good job I wasn't there or he might still be picking bits of the Old testament from a very tender place.

Just in time for back to school - Unreachable will be on sale at Amazon for $.99 (that's a measly 99 pennies u.s.)

2013 TG Book of the year is sure to please.

Since I figured you folks needed a break from yet another blog post detailing the myriad reasons I don't have the talent to write, the courage to write, or the experience to write, I thought I'd talk about my trip a week ago to Green Bay to see a speech pathologist (hey, it ain't a trip to Lambeau Field, but I at least got a chance to get out of the apartment).

No, no. I'm not going to replace 500 words of whining about my writing or lack of same with 500 words of whining about my voice.

Well...maybe a little whining, but for the most part this is good news. It might not seem like it at first, but...well, just read on:

Anyone heard from Amethest?

I may still post blog entries from time to time, but I won't be commenting on stories or blogs, not even my own. If I've got something to say, I'll send a PM.

Just so people know, Kelly Girl By Wanda Cunningham is on sale on Amazon for only $.99 This price will be throughout the weekend and ends Monday night. So get it while it's cheap.

I wonder if everyone fears that I'll stop writing other things and focus on Whateley. Well, fear not. I'm well underway in a Bikini Beach tale about Natty, and I have a lot of other ideas. Whateley is very important to my writing, but it's not the only thing, so rest assured that other tales will be written.

I'm having a great deal of trouble with skype right now, so I am unavailable skypewise. To say I'm unhappy is like saying porn is mildly popular.

I am Male, 63 yrs old
Little brother was TG, she died back in 1985, heart attack.

Well, my friend Jaci is gonna laugh about this one: I was having a conversation with my next-door neighbor yesterday, and she said I was "more girly " than she was ...

This is going to be a bit more brief than is typical for me, but I do have to get some sleep soon. So in brief, I have a question regarding POV.

An interesting article about a woman who took a vow of celibacy and lives as a man in Albania.

The most momentous centenary of them all is finally here.

I was reading an excellent science fiction book a while back and it got me thinking about the process of creating a society for a story.
