A little while back, I read a blog by Melanie E., about a story idea for a "Craigslist Wife". I would really like to get in touch with her regarding this idea! If anyone knows her, have her contact me, please! Thank you so much!

I stumbled across this very interesting CBC podcast (MP3) this morning. Maybe some others might be interested too.

Sometimes, I feel like God is teasing me. Something that would lead me out of my current dilemma appears, like this job offer, but as soon as I reach for it, it gets taken away, leaving me worse off than if I had had no hope to begin with. I am really struggling with anger with God at the moment. Ah, well. Guess that teaches me to hope for anything but death as a solution..

Next year I hope to do the C2C bike ride with my son and a few other idiots. Has anyone ridden on this route and if so, is it as bad as it looks?

Well, I got the T* blocker. Apparently my insurance WILL pay for it, as long as it's NOT the generic version.

Damned insurance.

It is so GREAT that so many writer are using this Universe with a wide variety of stories KEEP IT GOING

Well, despite my continued pain, I am feeling more hopeful. I got a call from a possible workplace, and i am going to check it out tomorrow. I am working on a ret-con story starring Amanda Waller, and hope to make some progress on that front soon. But if you are religious, could you pray that this job thing works out?

I just can't say that enough!!! I'm stunned, shocked, and amazed by the response to my first story here.

To all that took a chance and read a post by a 'newbie', to those who posted comments, and especially to the ones that sent all of the wonderful PMs, I can't possibly Thank You Enough!

I know that the story is incomplete (so far), and that fact alone can dissuade some from venturing further. With the amount of support, compassion, and understanding that I've recieved I'm more confident than ever that I'll be able to share the rest with all of you.

It's been more than two years since Musetta came to life. Dr. O'Donnell asks her if she has Klinefelter's Syndrome. She didn't know what it was and in the story as originally written it turns out she didn't. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that her having Klinefelters made a lot of sense. It explained her natural appearance and some of her personality. I made some corrections in Chapters 11 and 12 to now reflect that she had this condition. It does nothing to change the story other than to make it a bit more realistic.

A Roman Catholic adoption charity's appeal to be allowed to discriminate against gay people wanting it to place children with them has been rejected. Catholic Care wanted exemption from new anti-discrimination laws so it could limit services provided to homosexual couples on religious grounds.

The Charity Commission said gay people were suitable parents and religious views did not justify discrimination. The Leeds-based charity said it was "very disappointed".

Well, today has been an exercise in patience and frustration.

Every woman who cycles experiences abuse from male motorists and pedestrians, I've been happy slapped and shouted at, but I'd never have had the nerve to do what Dawn Foster did - she started blogging about it on a website called - you'll love this - 101 wankers.

See the link to the story on the Guardian's web site.

I've seen a few blog entries over time dealing with California's "Proposition 8" - apparently there's been a last-minute delay in getting it repealed...

A federal appeals court has put same-sex weddings in California on hold while it considers whether the state's gay marriage ban is constitutional.

A three-judge panel in the US Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a lower court's ruling that would have allowed gay marriages to begin on Wednesday.

If you’ve discovered that someone stole all of your DVD’s and most of your music CD’s, would that be ‘poH or just a crappy day?

Some days I just want to run away and hide.

*sigh*
