The novel writing contest ended during that time my mom was in the hospital and I had no spare attention. Twice since then, I've sat down and constructed the polls needed for people to vote on the contest and twice Murphy ate my breakfast. It's been six months, the novel contest is over. Everybody that entered won. Sorry, I just don't have the steam; that locomotive left the station empty.

For anyone who's interested, I am having a great deal of trouble getting The Sight back on track.

The reason is, a couple of people decided to try ripping me a new one in the comments and it kind of took the wind out of my sails. Since then, I managed to produce one chapter, but it seems the muse was not amused and no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get it together.

Currently, there have been several comments about slavery and those states that have laws that are more tolerant of the trans-gendered in the United States Of America and Canada.

I am a Christian. I was raised a Southern Baptist. I am lucky that their dogma did not poison me. I believe that GOD LOVES us all and that HE will not oppose one that wants to correct their body to the gender that they want to be. If you are T.G. in anyway, God will accept you as you are.

Hi Everyone

In my rush to get to the end, which been filling my head for days, I left out a few crucial lines that may or may not be significant :-)

If you were one of the first 200 readers you would have missed it.
Sooooorry

"Yes, they are," said Amarjit," and do you know where there is a really good medical school?"

bombs bursting in air... yeah, this is actually going on over my head as I write this - no, I'm not in a war zone, it's neighboring B***** College setting off a fireworks display to honor the graduating seniors. I've just reached a rather momentous decision in my life, which is why I've been rather distracted, lying rather low lately (is that a tongue twister?), trying to figure things out.

Hey all ~

I came across this new movie and I thought I'd post the link:

It's amazing what NPR is posting on its site these days - I'll be interested to hear your comments & thoughts.

It's been a rough week for me. I had a gall bladder attack a couple days ago, and my blood sugar was spiking around 260. (I am diabetic). Then one of the kids was in trouble with school-work, and the other had his own doctor appointments. Plus, my mother, who I am a 24/7 caregiver for, was having her own medically bad week.

There are a few very gifted authors that for some reason have stopped posting their story. I have enjoyed their contribution to Big Closet and wish them good health. I am wondering if they will continue to post or if their story should be considered in hiatus or in permanent limbo.

The power was off last night. There was just me and my laptop in the dark, and my mind started to wander around.

Imaginary Conversations I Might Have Had Once, With a Girl

One

Felicia, I know I’m not cool, and I promise I’ll never tell anyone we’re, you know, we have anything going on, but, do you think, I mean, could we just be friends? Friend friends?

Downside risk: Eeww!

Upside possibility: You mean talk and stuff? I s’pose so. [Thinking] Uh, Harry, would you help me with my Algebra?

I can not help but think that the qualities that make these three websites better than most other is the very simple fact that there is a very strong sense of family in all three.

Bonjour mes dames

As I sit here writing this at 07:10 on Tuesday morning, it feels odd that it was exactly a week ago that Penny and I were sitting on board the ferry Barfleur, patiently waiting to go down to the garage, get in our car and get on with our holiday-cum-house-hunting.
