My stories

So i haven't wrote a iota about anything those last days. At least not on my stories here, and very little on those other story's I, stupidly enough, promised to finish elsewhere. A promise made?

But those story are becoming sooo big (It's definitely the stories fault, not mine. They just don't want to finish. Yep, I think they are 'fighting back'?). And as I only use two fingers writing I'm expecting them to soon enough just be stubs of their former existence, the fingers that is, well maybe the stories too? If I don't continue writing them that is.

Promising Scientific development for self-produced HRT

I just found this article in The Independent newspaper which may be of interest to readers:
From Minnie to Mickey (and all they did was turn off a gene)
.

The gist of the article is that a group of scientists have developed a simple genetic-based (a modified virus?) technique which can convert the oestrogen producing cells in an adult female mouse to producing normal male levels of testosterone.

Little Pink Pills, Part 25

Little Pink Pills

Part Twenty-Five, by Michelle Wilder

In the village where I grew up
Nothing seems the same
Still you never see the change from day to day
And no-one notices the customs slip away

Late last night the rain was knocking at my window
I moved across the darkened room and in the lampglow
I thought I saw down in the street
The spirit of the century
Telling us that we're all standing on the border

(On the Border, by Al Stewart)

I just got curious and did a count of stories on the site. Counting Full Stories plus Chapters, Drabbles and Poems but not counting Storylinks to stories on other sites or Title/Author Pages or stories that are currently unpubbed -- we have 8350 Stories on BC as of this writing. That means that sometime in the next 70 to 90 days we will go over 9 thousand stories and over 9 million visits. :) This time last year we had about 5200 stories and 6 million visits At the rate things are going we will have almost 12,000 stories by Christmas 2010 and more than 12 million visits!

Also because I want to help support Bob's Star Dust they will be posted first there.

Furnace Failure

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

The furnace in my mobile home has failed. I'm using electric space heaters to keep warm and they work well enough but they keep tripping the breakers since this is a very old mobile with only 50 amps service. Three space heaters adds up to 36-45 amps. Add computers, lights and refrigerator and I can't run the washing machine without turning something off.

I'm checking into getting the furnace repaired but my handyman is of the opinion that it may cost enough to be worth just replacing it, which would be $1000 to $2000 dollars, a pretty big hit on my budget. More word soon.

Hugs,
Erin

The Chosen Boy

The Chosen Boy
By princess
Copyright © 2009 Princess

Authors Warning: this story has heavy religious theme to it.

In the vast reaches of the universe exists a plain that humans cannot ever reach. there is an area that exists only for the immortals and only they can exist in. In that realm, the mighty god Hashem Eloheam had decided that the final test of humanity will take place. This test would decide whether humanity deserved to survive or parish and it would be their choice. He decided to send unto humanity a young child that desperately needed love and kindness. The child would be helpless in his first 13 years. The child could forefill the greatest prophesies and bring about a new age of wisdom and love onto human kind, or he could be our worst nightmare and fulfill the end times prophecies so many books speak about. The child would be innocent and pure, but be different from other children. The choice would ours and our treatment of the child would determine our fate.

But perhaps, it was an unfair test given the long history of how we tend to treat those that are different.

Visiting Family, I don't want to go.

Author: 

Two of my siblings have been supportive to me to the extent that they tolerate me and don't call me a faggot. Still, neither of them ever get the pronouns right, though my younger brother is trying. I think that both of them just see me as stark raving bongers mad.

So, my older brother lives alone about 100 miles from me. He is an irascable old fart, but he does not do his temper bit with me because he knows that I would cry and leave. I did spend some time with him at thanksgiving for his benefit, not mine and almost got up and left a couple times because of his pronoun problem.

It took a while to find the story you mentioned. Goldie's filing system was really weird and it took forever to find it. I've attached it to this message.

I’ve been thinking of some comments written in my ‘comment section’, and, yes I was less than thrilled. Oh, I’m a big boy now, I can take it, but? To my eyes they are just stories and you neither have to hate nor love them. I mean, it’s not as you’re going to bed them, are you? Most of my stories spring from experiences, either directly or ‘second handed’ through others experiences and life’s, but as for the truth of them? Well, somewhere I expect they have happened, or possibly will, probability alone almost guarantees it. More than that I won't offer..
