One person did not believe me that I would take action. They have been banned for forging someone else's name on a post. This is more egregious than simply making snarky comments. I'm debating as to whether the ban is permanent.

I'm very sorry that it came to this.

"What are you doing, son?"
"Just looking at internet porn."
"Good, as long as you're not doing..."

Another busy week... don't they all seem to be, any more?

I'm working on the next part of PFH, hopefully I'll have it ready some time this afternoon. I've found that writing while watching Ranma 1/2 serves to both distract me and inspire me at the same time, so that's what I'm doing right now :P

Anyhow, I'll make sure to have the next part posted as soon as possible, and maybe this next week I'll be able to get more done, and faster, so I don't have to worry about delays like this again!

The posts this morning about Stan and the comments on those posts have been moved off of the front page but they were not deleted nor unpubbed. They can be found by anyone who looks for them but I'd prefer that the matter be dropped since it seems to have blown out with a few appropriate apologies.

I'm actually impressed that such a hot topic came up and got openly discussed and no one lost their temper.

My mom gave me a nice card for a DAUGHTER for my birthday, and I would like to share it with you.

DAUGHTER

I'm wishing you all the good theings you deserve

For your birthday,
I wish you the confidence to begin this year as you would open a gift,
certain taht it holds something special just for you.

I wish you strong trust in yourself and faith inthe future,
the belief that you will make the right choices to bring you closer to the happiness you deserve

I wish you friends to surround you in the circle of their caring and love,
and people to help you laugh at life.

Well, here is a question for the books.

I have noticed that since my transition, certain physical symptoms have become less troubling. In fact I have all the symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis, and am being checked for it and am wondering if the Estrogen has not in fact caused the easing of my problems?

Here I am, trying my hardest to right the next 'Fog' chapter, which Gabi likes to call 'The Green Frog (Kermit)' and I can't concentrate.

It's not writers block, it isn't lack of inspiration or is that perspiration in my case? It isn't anything to do with the fact that the lawn needs mowing and I should really do something about washing the car.

No, its that damn tune going around my head again.

My doctor confirmed a diagnosis of Essential (Familial) Tremors, where motor skills for hands are affected by shaking. My symptoms also include vertigo and a slight tremor in my speech; all the symtoms are exacerbated and increase with stress. The condition is permanent but will not get worse; it has plateaued.

Well, I have written a Psalm. I am going to post it, with a religious theme tag so no one who might be offended by that will read it.

It's just gone to Gabi for editing and her seal of approval and then--probably tomorrow morning or whenever it gets finished, I'll post, so hang on to your pantyhose, Cliffside Heroine 6--the final chapter, is on its way.

Phew!

You try saying all that in one breath.
I don't just look it, I'm totally chuffed it's finished at last

"Waiter," the man with the scraggly beard and frantic eyes asked, "do you serve virgins?"

The waiter, quite surprised that a man who looked like he was in his fifties or maybe even older could still be a virgin, nodded. "Of course, sir."

"That's wonderful," the man said with obvious relish. "Me, I'd like two virgins with nothing on them, to go."

The waiter gasped. "I. . . . Sir, there's been a misunderstanding."

Well, I've changed my mind now.

I am going to pursue transitioning to female full time.

I've started talking to my therapists and I'm going to talk to some people about getting on hormones, I'm going to have to see if there are options that low income people have access to with those so I can continue on this journey.
