TDoR, A Reflection

Submitted by on

In 2007 I came home from a Transgender Day of Remembrance and went on my computer. I was told by a virtual niece that a virtual daughter was murdered. The alleged murder claimed that she accidentally choked herself with her scarf. He was acquitted of the "murder." The Evil Witch Family is poorer because of her death.

Holly and I had a temporary roommate who was a drug addict. She got clean through a drug rehab program and decided to help the transgender community by helping other drug addicts. She was murdered because of her interference in December 2010.

Dryads Tale, Third Request

Submitted by on


I am looking for the author of an incomplete story sent to me in November 2002.

Brief synopses:

John is shot interfering with a carjacking. His wife, Krista and her two sisters give him some of their life force to save him. It worked and makes him female and genetically their sisters. The three original sisters are from a parallel universe. In one section they travel back to the other Earth.

A Prince's Tale

Just a little ditty to keep my poetic license. Besides, all's fair in love and war.

 

A Prince's Tale
By shalimar
Copyright 1964, 2001

In days of old
This prince was bold
with women undercover

He had to confess
He'd wear a dress
If he fought another

A war broke out
There was a rout
He had no horse to ride

You could understand
Our prince he ran
He had to save his hide

He met a witch
No ordinary bitch
She saw our prince's fear

He lost his pride
"I've got to hide
Or they'll kill me over here."

And with a motion
She gave him a potion

Forgiveness, Another Talmuld Torah

Submitted by on

Recently, two events have occurred that I note forgiveness is important:

1. I went to the CANDLES (Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors) Museum in Terre Haute, Indiana. I learned three things. I mention one that is important to this Forum blog.

CANDLES

Submitted by on

Last Sunday I went to the CANDLES (Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors) Museum in Terre Haute, Indiana. I learned three things. Two are important to us.

1. Although Jews were victims of Nazis, not all victims were Jews. Only nearly 6 million of the 11 million were Jews. Among the other 5 million targeted by the Nazi regime were GLBT individuals. If we were there then most of us who visit this site would be victims.

The Ten Plagues: The First Four

Submitted by on

The ancient rabbis said that the ten plagues were plagues against the Egyptians and against their "gods." The plagues were also there also to teach humans something.

Here are the first four plagues in Exodus:

1. the river (Nile) turned into blood. (7:14-25)
a. the fish die
b. river becomes "foul"
c. included all water in Egypt including vessels to hold and drink
d. necromancers repeated the same "trick"
e. Pharaoh's heart was strong
f. lasted seven(7) days.
Human element: G-d told Moses had Aaron stretch out his staff

2. frogs on the land. (8:1-11)

Time

Today begins Daylight Savings Time in the U S.

1. What is time?

2. Why was the first “thing” that G-d sanctifies was time and not a place such as a mountain or river?

3. Why is time the most mentioned “thing” in the Torah?

4. Physicists tell us that there are more than four dimensions (length, width, thickness and time). These dimensions are subatomic and curved. What is G-d telling us?

5. The first word in the Bible is “breesheet.” It is translated as: “In the beginning...”, “At the beginning…”, “It begins with…” a function of time.

a. Does time create space?

Taluld Torah will be Open to All?

Submitted by on

Based on some conversations during the last few weeks there has been a suggestion by Rami that we have an Torah study and discussions. If this is done it would be in the Forums section of this site. I would be the moderator, including what topics would be discussed and for how long.

Things to note:

1. You don't have to be Jewish to get involved.

2. No experience is necessary.

3. You may suggest a topic.

Holly Hart Is in Hospital

Submitted by on

A message from Holly Hart:

Well, my body has betrayed me once again

It's not as serious as the cancer which seems to be as good as before.

But in the cancer surgery, they had to do a bit of rebuilding on my liver, and apparently it did not heal well.

I've developed an abscess and had to be d\admitted to the hospital to have a drain put in and to get several antibiotics that can only be give intravenously.

I cannot access BCTS on the hospital computers, but I do have email access.

So, your follow up chapter is behind schedule? See title of this blog. Get it right, not fast.

BTW the quote is from Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. The book version gives him a soliloquy that is even better.

The keyword quote is from Alice in Wonderland by Louis Carrol.

An Object Lesson

Submitted by on

I wrote a story this week which is in the "let it stew" stage. As I should, I used spell check and discovered some alleged mistakes in my writing. One of the sentences I wrote said, "So, I watched him and her together wishing I was her." Spell check said, "...wishing I was she." The disputed word is an object of the sentence fragment, not the subject ("I" is the subject of the fragment). therefore "her" is correct.

Moral: use "Spell Check" but also use your brain. "Spell Check" is only a computer program.
