Our fellow BC commentor, proofer and writer Karen_J collapsed at work and was taken to a hospital.

From what I was told it sounds similar to a problem she had last year. She is stable and appears to be recovering but will be on the mend for a while.

Like many here she has had more than her share of pain and turmoil in her life but has managed to survive and thrive inspite of the odds.

Bob has some arcade games at Stardust now. These are simple flash type games that are great for disengaging the thinking gears a while so your inner mind can work on a story problem while your outer mind is busy. :)

I just wanted to extend my thanks to those who have taken Grover and myself under their wings....(You know who you are). I especially want to thank the girls who went to the Southern Comfort conference for taking such good care of my hubby, and making sure he had a great time.

Oh, thank you Ariel, for the book. I am enjoying it immensely. :-)

I'm glad everyone had a wonderful time, and I'm relieved y'all are home safe and sound!

Smooches,
Paula

When I read this, just now, I thoght about how if this bill was to pass, that it would impacr the T.G. community as well. If not directly throgh sons, daughters, or family, then through other workers. This deserves discussion here, and with our family and friends

I am working on the next chapter but I need to do a bit of research on Spain. 1935-1945. I am looking forward to having a very interesting chapter to present in a few weeks.

It's almost too late in the season here but some of the heirloom varieties ripen late. These are really good and so simple.

Clean and slice several green tomatoes, about 1/3 inch (8 mm) thick, more or less. Salt and pepper them liberally and leave on a cutting board to dry out very slightly while you get everything else ready.

Gwen Brown heard that you were hunting for her. If you are still suffering from the need to meet me at SCC I am at...............

Arachnophobes beware! Apparently there are going to be a lot of our 8 legged friends around this autumn (well, in the UK at least)!

Conservationists say there could be more spiders and daddy longlegs than usual this autumn because of favourable breeding conditions. Researchers at insect charity, Buglife, said last year's wet autumn meant the larvae of daddy longlegs had plenty of decaying plant matter to eat. Experts also said this year's temperate summer had been good for spiders.

My fifth day at the most incredible experience I've ever had. This has been a total dream. Hundreds and hundreds of girls and guys...being themselves without fear. I never imagined anything like this.

John of course I know what TGIFridays means: Transgendered Influenced Fridays. At my school it was like Mixed up Mondays, which was a little hard to swallow in the Bible thumping deep south. It was started after the cheerleaders kicked the Butt of the school football team at flag football 31-12 (our football team won three games in six years. Unfortunately this is true.). The coach actually tried to recruit the cheerleaders, they refused to play for such a sorry team. Anyways for the rest of the year the football team had to wear dresses to school on Friday.

Hiya, massive blog post I know, but it's good to share...

While going through a pile of condolences I received after my mother died in January 2008, I discovered an envelope that had an order for six ebooks and a money order for the cost plus an anount for postage.

This is multiply sad because these are ebooks, I can't mail them. And no email address was included so I can't provide them through email, either, nor was the name given traceable through BCs membership list.

Charlene, if you're still out there, I can give you a hatbox membership so you can download these items, please contact me via email or PM.

I wanted to thank everyone who has been praying for me and loving me and encouraging me. I found out that my doctor's practice is going to accept my insurance coverage without expecting my share of the cost of my testing. I will also be blessed with my counselor's sage advice and encouragement next week, as well as EEG Biofeedback, which is expected to significantly reduce my tremors and brand new speech problem...I do an excellent imitation of Jeff Goldbloom in Jurassic Park. I "came out" in a manner of speaking to my counselor yesterday.

I think I'm going to be forced to take a break from posting stories here for a while. No, I'm not leaving, but the list of things that need doing has gotten unmanageable.

I've just posted Part 2 of Changed Fortune to my site at: http://tanyastales.yolasite.com/wip-changed-fortune---part-2...

I have to say that this conference has been a real eye opener for me. Coming from a relatively small town, the sheer numbers of girls here, from all walks of life, is mind boggling for me. I've had some wonderful conversations and met more girls from more places than I can remember right now.

The Top Shelf Girls, Jacqui(Grover), Ariel, Holly and I made our initial appearances this afternoon, after Holly did yeoman work getting the transfers ironed on. So far, the response seems to be very positive, with quite a few commenting on the matching shirts and the site.
