I know it isn't Tuesday so why is Transitioning Home on your screen? Well, Tuesday I have Dr.'s appointments and will be running around almost all day and I figured rather than try to deal with it early on a day when I am going to ache after my pain procedure or late when I am tired, I figured I would just post it early. I hope it doesn't freak people out too badly. There really is method to the madness. The other chapters should be just fine.

My novel God Bless the Child, which is available on Amazon and Smashwords has just received its first 4-star review. The last 8 were 5 stars. Am I upset, amazingly not really. I actually like having a 4 star in there (now a 1 or 2 star might piss me off) it makes it look as if real people are judging my work.

I still haven't given an introduction... but...
Can anyone give me a hairstyle advice fitting for my face type?

I read the blog Angharad posted about the doping issue in modern cycling and it is a sad truth to face. However, I did happen upon an article about an elderly cyclist that is putting quite a few of the "current crop" of professional cyclists to shame. The gentleman in question is 100 years old and recently set a 14.4 mile an hour pace over the stretch of 100km (62 or so miles). Admittedly, I don't know much about cycling, but I do know being able to set, and keep, a pace like that isn't anything to sneeze at. Never-mind the fact that he did it at his age.

Yesterday I came home for work, my roommate was up and about (sort of weird for her, she normally sleeps until noon). She told me she was going out for the day and would be back in the evening to help me with Sunday papers. I told her cool, but she wasn't obligated (I appreciate the help, but every time she comes she has the look like it is utter torture).

Since I mentioned it yesterday, I might as well tell the story of how I came to run for president of the student council in high school.

I hit the refresh button to check on the kudo and comments because apparently I am a rat in one of those science experiments for cocaine addiction and I can’t get enough of my fix when I noticed that the whole chapter seems to have been deleted and taken off the front page. Did I press the wrong button? Did the site do a hiccup? Is god (erin) out to get me?

Or is this like… an intervention?

“Scout you are too dependent upon other peoples opinion of you it’s time to cut you off”

It's done! Er, sort of...

Well, I've finally done it! I finished writing the final story in my Ragnarok Rising trilogy. Well, almost.

There is an elephant in my room. A big, smelly elephant leaving droppings all over the place, but I dont want to see it.

I have become a ditz. I don't know if I should blame the hormones because some of the ditziness occurred before I started taking it, but I'll blame it anyway because that's what ditzes do. Unfortunately, the following stories are true:

Two uplifting Youtube videos that highlight us as who we are

The new tv series Arrow is a take on Green Arrow. I've just finished the pilot episode- this series looks promising- I'm waiting for the next one with anticipation.

For those of us that have problems with our Prostate levels. Mines real high even on the meds but I thought I'd share. Enjoy

For those of you who havent heard yet, Jim Sandusky, the former assistant coach of the Pen State has been sentenced to between 30 and 60 years in prison for molesting young boys.

My orange cat has found something new to do to annoy me. She already mastered the art of shitting on the floor if I don't empty her litter pan fast enough, jumping on me and then groomer herself while I sleep, and destroying blinds if I leave her in the house alone without a way out or without a way of finding me to do number 2 on this list.

Last night I had a dream, in which I was lost looking for a hospital downtown in a strange city. (I think I was supposed to be working there).

Well finally its all posted, all 40 chapters of Gaby Changes are now available here on Big Closet!

BC has hit the 25 million mark tonight.

Congratulations to Erin for her very successful and popular site.

Oops...

I have been so busy today that it wasn't until I sat down and started reading that I remembered it was Tuesday. Here's your Story.

Sorry.

For about a week, the internet has been quite wonkie. Chrome seems to have the influenza, and I've had to resort to IE7 to watch any movies. All this happened relatively suddenly. Is anyone else having issues?

I have been thinking of converting over to Linux but I have lots of classes to do first.

In my new book I have a scene where a bunch of friends are having lunch and holding a conversation. The issue I am having is how to make the conversation flow without ending each line with A said B said A replied C added to the conversation etc.

Could anyone provide a way to make this work where it seems natural or point to an online reference. THANKS

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, everyone.

I was reading this book about a woman who has a breakdown on my breaks at work, and it got me thinking about visiting my brother in the mental ward when we were both kids.

Bill passed away this morning at 12:26am. (Sunday, October 7th, 2012).

His sister and cousin were with him. I only lasted 10+hours waiting....

I miss him more already.

With all the flashbacks and crap I've been fighting the last while, I havent had a lot of energy for writing. So it may be a while before I publish anything new, although I have the beginnings of a poem written ....

Hi everybody. I don't have a computer right now, and I am using my daughter's. The problem is, I don't see a wordpad or any other writing format I can use to continue my stories. She is using Windows 7. So, to everybody who reads my stories, please be patient until I can get this sorted out.

Hugs,
Barbara

Sometimes you have to tell modesty to take a hike and I don't mean in a whorish way.

This guy can sing both parts of A Whole New World.

The body language works, too. With proper preparation, he would have no problem passing.

Living on a bouncing mood, Today is the birthday of my oldest daughter she is 11 years old today. My youngest will be 8 on the 14 of October. My step son my girls half brother will be 24 on the 27 of October. All of these People have enriched my life so much that I could never think of what my life would have been like with out them. My step son is an upstanding young man who is putting himself through school and has weathered a lot of stormy life experiences with both his honor and humor intact.

I'm going to make this post, as Celebration of the Man I knew. One of the few people in my life, with that designation, that I can say was a positive influence on my life.

First the sad part...

He had a major stroke about 2 weeks ago, and has been unconscious and unresponsive for the last week. The doctors have decided that there is no chance of his body making any recovery, he also has a high fever that they can't get to go down.

Bill was a great Man. He wasn't a politician, he wasn't a super hero, but his present affected many in this community.

Some have commented that I'm posting chapters a little to fast on Belle this week. I'm sorry but I'm trying to get to a certain part of the story but all this...stuff keeps getting in the way as I try to get there.

Want to Sell overactive muse cheap!

Thinking about the possibility of having another rectal exam got me very shaky today, to the point I was actually in tears.

Earlier i was reading a 'gender bender' manga, and i for one thought it was quite good with a few minor exceptions.

Does anyone happen to know an endocrinologist that might be covered by UHC in the Columbus area, looking for a referral?

My second BCTSiversary! ^_^

Some of you will find this silly. That's okay, I'm not always a grownup. I think many will understand.

Where a story just flows and flows and flows? Well I have done two chapters of Belle already and working on a third.

Sorry I need a place to vent Before I explode,. I would like to share some recent information I just discovered. My step Father the terror of my life passed away last year, he received a glowing sendoff by his new family and friends. New because when my mother died in 1999 January 1, he remarried and lived for another 12 years. His obituary held a wealth of information including all of his surviving kin from his recent marriage, all of his community service his square dancing with his new wife etc.

A year ago today, while I was in the middle of posting the epic Finding Jenny, I posted a little one off story called "The dress punishment." It has been very popular and I wanted to give those who weren't around last year a chance to take a look at it.

I just got back from the gender specialist, and while everything else is go, they never received from my family doctor the results of my physical.

I

AM

NOT

HAPPY

Hello.

I just thought I would forward the link to the above story in today’s Sun in the UK.
Here’s the link:

When I first came to this site I was prepared to, and did admire you, Erin. You are, after all, a successful, intelligent and articulate woman. But, in time, I realized that you were also controlling, unbending and not open to the views of others.

I see the gender doc tomorrow, and for some reason, I'm nervous. It will be the first time I see him since I got my exam, and since my family doc wants me to lose weight, I'm not sure what's going to happen.

Ah, well.

Just letting you know that other stories besides Transitioning Home might be spotty this month as I have to focus on my Firefly and Buddhism paper that is going to be published. That needs to be about 5k words and requires me to rewatch the series and Serenity plus read the comics. You people don't know the suffering I must endure for this. But I meditate and work to move past this.

Just fyi

I never like to do this but bills keep coming due. If you can please contribute. Either click on the Hatbox link i the right column to donate via Amazon or communicate with me through PM and I can give a Paypal or postal address. Thanks.

Hugs,
Erin

So here is one all you role playing geeks should love. The series "Heroes", a TV series that ran 4 years is too dark for me to watch it all. I'm in about a dozen episodes on Netflix.
