Does anyone know if Jenny Walker is working on anything new?

I've been working on what the weight loss place gave me for "homework", and in a week, I have already lost some weight. Hard to tell exactly how much on my home scale, but its a lot closer to 270 lbs than to 280 lbs, which is what I was a week ago.

I can do this, I can do this ....

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

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.

When I visit this site, there's a T in a blue box at the bottom right hand of my screen, like a google thing but it doesn't say google; plus I get little windows asking me to complete questionnaires. Is this official or have I picked up a bug?

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.

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.

Though it might have been wiser to heighten the suspense and wait, I could not resist the temptation to post some of what I'd written so far for the upcoming One Winter's Eve contest. I think, however, that some explanation is necessary.

I have never been much for a lot of makeup; usually just using some OLAY 7 as a base, and some MAC concealer to cover a very red birth mark on my chin. I use a bit of lippy called MAC A31. This is for every day.

If I am very nervous about meeting someone, I will add some MAC eyeliner and some illegal by Mabelline on my lashes.

Well, finally I have found a male, not a T person, who really knows how to do makeup, and I may try some of his techniques.

This is an update on the Drake's Bay Oyster farm renewal to operate. President Obama and his lead man Ken Salizar have decided to NOT renew the operating permit for the farm even though it was found that the governmant had lied on their reports. What this means is the end of an environmently friendly business that's been in this location for years. It means the loss of jobs for thirty employees who have devoted their lives to Drakes Bay and it also takes away the livelyhood of the family that operated the farm.

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

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.

The last of Juliet Jacques' blogs about her transgender journey as posted on the Guardian website, in this she considers whether her surgery was worth it and reflects on her four year voyage of discovery.
