Good morning all,

(How chat room generic greeting is that..)

Is here for those requiring a fix.

I miss my friend Kylie. Its funny, I go stretches where I'm okay, and then something happens to remind me of her, and its like I think "I'd love to talk to her about this" and then I remember she's not in my life anymore, and I grieve all over again.

Ah, well.

I had a good conversation with Samantha's mom last night.

Some of you know I'm a pastor. I've been available to anyone who needs me. Usually I've been able to say something reassuring, helpful, etc... Now it's me, I'm feeling adrift, and unable to control the way my life is moving.

Some facts. First, I'm not taking any hormones, second, I've been actively losing weight.

Well yesterday (Sunday) I came out to my folks, their reaction ... Oh ok ... Are you sure? ... This is going to make your life even harder ... etc ... no screaming, no shouting just acceptance (with a large side order confusion)

So. Yaayness I'm out to my folks, I'm just waiting for the local NHS trust to put my referral through the Charring Cross GIC and so far all systems are go. Now if only I could have my Benefits run as smoothly :(

Happy Huggles
Sammi (who is one step closer to being one with herself :))

My friend Anne is here for the day, we're going out shortly to have dinner to celebrate my becoming an old codger officially - I now get free prescriptions - whoopie doo!

I've been a member here for 6 years and 33 weeks, but only became active in July of last year after I retired. Between then and this July I made some wonderful friends who I hope will last a lifetime. For them I will always be grateful to BCTS. I'm sure in that time I annoyed some people too and for that I am truly repentant.

Well, I had a very good night at work, and it helped beat back the negative self-talk I had been fighting with, and that's a good thing.

Totally off topic for BC, sorry Erin, but ...

AS a Wisconsinian, Wisconsinan, Wisconsiner, Wisconsinite(?) I must congrad UW-Madison going to the Rose Bowl.

As we drift towards 1900, I suppose it's apposite for me to enquire as to whether my readers want me to continue the saga, assuming Erin is happy to continue filling up her servers with my nonsense.

I was supposed to have a date today. I met a girl online and we have chatted and text for a few weeks. I was really looking forward to this date since I do not date much and she is a very attractive lady. I really liked her. Then Friday morning after I got home from work she sent me a text message saying that she could not go on the date, and that she had a boyfriend. Talk about a kick to the head. I text her back and told her that yes I was hurt by that and that I had been really looking forward to our date.

I'm no Cyclist, and the story I'm writing isnt likely to be as good as "Sweat and Tears", but .... well ... you'll guys see when its finished.

Sorry no YHIAW tonight, I'm really under the weather at the mo. Been in bed all day, only got up to take more painkillers and to write this short blog.

Hugs
Sammi

eBooks for my stories

Okay, so two more parts to go on Destiny.

The crystalhall forums seem to be down; all I'm getting is a blank page.

This is in my response to an earlier post to pick out the cover of my book.

The story is well underway again, as I've managed about 1500 words in the last 24 hours--remarkable considering that I write and edit as I go. My way of working helps--if one plot thread isn't going well, I need to do more research at a later time, I move on to another scenes. Yes, I view stories in movie terms--I have a large mental storyboard in which every plot point is mapped out.

eBooks for my stories

Well, a while back I uploaded eBooks for my stories 'Incompatible' and 'Transfigured' (both the original and revised version) here on the site.

There can be no doubt about it, I live with a vicious killer.

We all know homosexuality is a biological trait, right?

Not according to the people editing Charisma Magazine, who believe it's caused by something completely different.

Demon sex.

Here's a little bit of advice for everyone here in a serious relationship, man or woman, same sex or hetero.

I dreamt of a man last night.

It wasnt a sexual dream, but he was standing in front of me, and I found myself realizing he had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen.

I got my Medicare card in the mail today. Double ouch!!!

Hilltopper

One of the first stories I posted on this site was "The Tale of the Rebel Chieftain."

Its my brother's birthday today, and we're going to his house to celebrate.

Its going to be the 2nd year in a row he gets a card from his sister, I wonder if he'll say anything?

Please wait for chapter 2 which explains chapter one a bit better. I know some of you feel I went overboard but I really didn't. I'm just setting the stage so to speak.

Sometimes you take the good with the bad: I think this limerick should be ok

I joined a place called B.C.
it is the kind of place for me
I tell a good tale
and some are for sale

The novel "Fifty Shades Of Grey" has seduced women - and baffled blokes.Now a spoof,

Fifty Sheds Of Grey, offers a treat for the men.

It may well be the magic of the Christmas season, or it may be that my depression has, for the moment, gone into remission. But the story I'm working on for the current contest promises to be not only the most ambitious and complex story I've ever done, but the most ambitious and complex story that stands a chance of being completed. (I even have a tentative title: The Christmas Ivy Bloomed--a title with a double meaning in this story).

Different 'Destiny' delay

I have decided in changing the title of my story "A Boy and his Dog" due to the fact that there already is a book and movie with this title and with similar elements in the story that I had not known about until some people brought it to my attention. I don't want people to get the wrong impression about my story or go into it expecting something based on false assumptions, or god forbid, not read my story because of prior bad experiences with the title. :P

I've gradually worked out this BC publishing thing (I think). Although I've got another story here, someone else was kind enough to navigate the process for me last time, for which I am now much more grateful than I ever was before.

Anyway, I tried publishing the first chapter of my new novel A Turn of the Cards, but it turns out my chapters seem to be too long for the site (I get repeated 503s), so I'm going to post each section of the chapter instead. I aim to post a section every 2-3 days or so. We'll see how that goes.

This series of four videos follows several transsexuals on several weekend retreats as they discover who and what they really are, and how to deal with it. The EXPLICIT warning refers to actual surgery scenes in one or two of the videos. As I watched these videos, I found myself becoming involved with the guys and gals as they become friends and, at the end, when they depart from the retreat for the last time, I actually felt tearful as they parted company and went back to their real world lives.

Holy sh*t it happened. Some of you have been following the problems I have been having at work lately ( read about it here. And the updatehere )I vowed to not let it get me down and have been trying to move on.

Tonight's Bike made me start thinking in concrete terms about Uterus, ovary, Vaginal transplantation. I have read about it being done magically, and I wrote a tale about it in 2001, and doubtlessly there have been many others before mine.

Or maybe not...

I have this great idea to put little postcards advertising my book in with my Christmas cards when I deliver the paper next week. My issue? I don't know how to format so the front and back side line up. Is anyone here proficient enough with Word/open office to format something like that for me. I want 9 per page so I can cut them out and put them in the paper (2.5x3.5). Thanks in advance.

****Sigh**** I wish I could have gone home to be with My Family for Thanksgiving,but they don't want anything to do with me.But at least I have all of U & Ur Stories on here.U all are like my family now,So Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Just a quick note to wish all my American friends here a happy Thanksgiving.

I have a lot to be thankful for.

I'm thankful for my mother,and her acceptance of me as Dorothy

What am I thankful for? Easy answers right, maybe not. The standard stuff applies here I have my family, my job, the roof over my head, but I am also very thankful for friends. I have two friends who know me now both have been my friends for many years and I was pretty sure they would be supportive. Talking to them has brought me to a better place, I can honestly say I was headed in a not so good direction and wasn't sure how it would have ended.

I'd like to take this space to wish everyone out there a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone has a good one and is able to spend it with the ones they hold dear.

I am thankful for:

All I have to say it that its about time, they cut benefits, pay abysmal wages and in my opinion don't care about their employees.

I've had a long held desire to see Gaby in Manga style and whilst i've yet to find a willing artist i thought a photographic travel guide might get the ball rolling!

Basically, the latest update to one of the background parts of Drupal broke the mini-editor or rather the mini-editor's integration into the editing box. The mini-editor is the string of little boxes above the editing window that lets you automate inserting structured HTML into your stories, blogs and forum posts.
