I'm reading Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley novels as I liked the TV series, and it's been long enough since I've seen the shows and my brain is small enough that I don't remember who done it. Anyway, one of the suspects said, "Hoist with my own petard" ("Payment in Blood" Ch 13) in response to being questioned about a previous lie that had been exposed.

Has anybody followed actress/singer "Alexandra Billings?" She is the first transgendered actress to play the part of a transgendered personn in a televison series. Check out her web site here: http://www.alexandrabillings.com/site/new/billings.html

Looking for new comments is addicting. They fell off all too quickly, so I grabbed a story from my [author] directory (there's more where those came from) and posted it. As a bonus, I think I figured out how to properly post the HTML stuff.

Well, sort of. It didn't like my indented paragraphs. Oh well.

P.S.

In case you hadn't noticed, Piper has resurrected the Gaby Zone to what we had just before it blew up. She has been kind of lost since Kim passed, but she promises the new improved updated Zone is not far off.

OK so I just finished writing the first story I am going to publish and I need some help in the profing deprtment . I am in desprate need of the fallowing :

1X Editor

So please feel free to P.M me or response here.

You know, I'm writing this rant because I just read another story where the main character went straight.

Why am I writing this?

In the last few weeks I came to deal with a major issue in my life : my small amount of friends . As far as I can remember I only had 5-6 friends and one or two really good ones.The problem is that I always feel that in some ways I am never one of the group , even with my friends ( when were around other people) it seems to me like everybody is giving me the odd look.

If you go this address on MSN there is a story and picture of the transgendered model:

I happened to check in her site at http://www.geocities.com/brandy_art/index.html and found what appears to be another great tale from her called Sisters. She mentions she has plans, but no time for more artwork to go with it, but the title pic is great.

I thiught I would post this here as we all could use a laugh now and then.

Giggles Seen as Harmful

Was forwarded to me this morning:

High emotions were on display as trial got under way to decide whether a sex change operation constitutes a medical deduction undersection 213. O'Donnabhain v. Commissioner, U.S. Tax Court Docket No. 6402-06, commenced July 24 in Boston with Judge Joseph Gale presiding.

This is G rated, or should we say TG rated? :-)

This is my first blog post, just to say hi to the community and that I hope to be a good neighbor.

Here's some self description, because often people are curious.

The race coverage is pretty good here in the US with one of the cable networks (VS. - www.versus.com) showing each stage live and then showing 4 re-broadcasts throughout the day. They have Phil Liggett, Paul Sherman, Bob Roll, and Craig Hummer doing most of the announcing.

A personal thank you

Hello. I would like to thank everyone at Big Closet for the wonderful assistance and support while I looked after Mellissa’s (praire_girl_64) arrangements as well as those authors whom sent personal notes to her inbox to let me personally know how they felt.
