Surgery

Sephy is out of surgery, although still sleeping. I talked with the surgeon, he said everything went very well. Sephy will be a bit sore today, but better tomorrow. We'll be going home in a little while, she'll probably sleep while I drive. She should be back on-line tomorrow, and complaining about Pancake on her keyboard.

Huggs to all

Day Three at SCC

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.

Nick finally finds the courage to venture out of the house dressed as Nicole only to return to a house on fire with his parents screaming to firemen to rescue him from the burning house. Special thanks are in order to Michelle B. for editing this for me.

I am considering deleting "hell Yeah it Hurts"

I'm thinking about deleting "Hell Yeah it Hurts" I don't have the time to finish it now or in the foreseeable future.I don't like starting to read a story to find it unfinished myself.On the plus side it is near and dear to my heart so I would like to eventually finish it and repost it.I'm in college now working my way through English Comp 1 this semester and Comp2 next one.So when I finally get back to work on it there should be a vast improvement in how its written.I would like to thank to all who've read and left comments on it my apologys for leaving you without an ending and your feedba

Daddy's Girl -- Part Five

Lawrence's natural loveliness permits him to continue living a girl's life and he takes a chance to go with another girl's family on a camping trip as a 'girl friend;' Lawrence continues to worry about his father's reactions.

Have I reached a milestone?

I received my first Victoria's Secret bra today (38A - no not many to choose from)... And, it fit like a glove. :-) Far more comfortable than the playtex I'd gotten a few months ago. LOL And, nicer than the sports bras I normally wear (when my alter ego is off to the salt mines)...

The blouse I ordered with the bra will be on it's way back. Not what was pictured (color wise) it made me look very ill! Though it was very comfortable otherwise. *sighs* Back to the drawing board there.

Apologies to those waiting for their daily top up, but I still have no broadband connection which I find very frustrating. Then to top it all, my little netbook went and lost all of the tonight's episode---god knows how, but I don't. I'm very tired so I'm not doing one tonight, Bonzi also sends his a-purr-logies.

I hope normal service will be resumed tomorrow, although that might be the last one before my holiday.

Stephanie's Deal - Episode 21


Nintendo Wii dressed in pink
 
Stephanie’s Deal

by Jennifer Brock

Twelve-year-old Stephanie Brooks is an unusual girl. Until six weeks ago, she was living as a boy, but then a foolish decision to peek at her Christmas presents and a church pageant with a crisscrossed theme combined to create Stephanie’s girlhood as a punishment. But she eventually found that living as a girl fixed a lot of the things that weren’t quite right in her life before. She’s now friendlier, less withdrawn, and happier in general with things. In this episode, she learns more about her new school. As we begin, it’s the last day of January, 2008.

(The author would like to apologize to her readers for taking so long to get this installment out. The wait for the next one won’t be nearly as long. The writing on it has already been started)

We Are in Atlanta.

following a storm that would have made Noah go..."Ok. I give up." Grover and I are safely ensconced in our room. Grover is reading...I am destressing. We've already met two of the organizers of SCC and spent a couple hours just talking with them...so I guess that counts as a good start. I haven't had a chance to use the camera yet, but trust me...I will. We're going to make an early night of it, since there isn't much of anything going on yet at the Convention/conference.

I'll post updates as often as I can, and upload pics when I get them.

Hugs 'n love,
Catherine Linda Michel

Privacy and convenience in browsing anywhere

Modern browsers have lots of convenient features, like the ability to remember your passwords, and the ability to easily go to sites that you commonly visit. For instance, all I have to do is start typing "bi" in my browser, and it brings up a list of previously visited sites that contain "bi" -- Big Closet being at the top of the list. It will also auto-enter my user name and password when I want to log in.

Country Girl

Living in a rural area has it's good points as well as it's bad ones. The good points are the peace and quiet and the slower pace. The bad points are that in a small community everyone knows your business. I found myself sitting there in Ms. Winslow's English class thinking about the ways my life had changed over the Summer months. She had given us an assignment to write an essay entitled "What I Did Over My Summer Vacation" As I sat there, my mind went back to that Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.....
 
 

Am I the only one?

Am I the only one reading Murphey's Law (Revised)? I have never read the original story, but to me this story has all of the elements that makes a great mystery. I have compared this story to the ones written by Dashiell Hammett and Agatha Christie. This whodunit takes place in the 1960's and is a very good story. Everybody who hasn't read the original should read this one, because Murder She Wrote has nothing over Murphy's Law (Revised). And even the ones who read the original story should read this one again.

Love & hugs,
Barbara

Dirty Little Secret

If you were to believe the vocal minority who write most of the comments and probably do most of the voting for stories -- no one likes forced fem.

Their wailing and gnashing of teeth anytime a story ventures close to femdom asserts that such writing should be banned from this site as inappropriate.

Recently two very good authors suggested to me that they wanted my help to make sure their stories didn't cross the line into femdom. They were concerned about adverse reader reaction. Arrrgh!

Saotome and Tendo family video profiles

Okay, there is this guy on YouTube that seems to have made it his mission to profile everyone in the Ranma ½ Universe, but most of them, really... are kinda crap. Little more than fanboy fap-bait. Some are good... but these four... these are EXCELLENT:

There are some general info profiles if you want to look through this guy's other Ranma ½ Character Profiles, but really... he doesn't seem to get a lot of the characters. Of particular interest to the crowd here at TopShelf may be the (rather insultingly done) profiles of Kurenai Tsubasa and Kuonji Ukyou.

Kittyhawk Goof

I made a mistake on Kittyhawk 10 that I just fixed. It involves the conversation between Melissa and Tina on the plane. I mistakenly had Melissa saying she's not into girls, which of course she is! Since that affects her relations with Arachne, which Tina says is interested in Melissa, I thought I should point it out. Sorry for the confusion!

Saless

P.S. Thanks to John for pointing the error out to me, I really appreciate it!

9 year old changes gender

I found online an article from the Sun newspaper in England that a 9 year old child has transitioned from boy to girl. I dont know how reliable a sourse they are, as they also have an article saying they found a picture of the loc ness monster on google earth. But, if its true, i feel kinda conflicted. I am happy for this girl, but part of me worries that this is too early. I would have taken a transition at 9, and it might have been a mistake. I just hope she doesnt end up regretting her decision.

To All Of Prairie Girl's Friends

Melissa Dawne Northe, my Sister by choice has her auto biography A Tragedy Of The Spirit posted here, and her friend Melanie Dixon authorized my posting of the revised version.

We both wish that her friends would either leave a PM with me. or Melanie, or post a comment telling how her story affected you. I will then gather the comments and pm's to post a sequel Triumph Over Tragedy. Please respond, because although her stay here was all to brief, like a candle in the wind, her life ended all too soon.

My apologies in advance for posting this here, but it was too good to pass up. I usually only send to a select few but.....
It's all how you look at it!

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,
'If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.'

You all, or if you hail from the South, y'all!

I wanted to write a note of thanks to everyone here, whether writers, or readers, or kind and patient administrators and other lovely sisters (and brothers,too.) I go back to NYC on the 28th for more testing. My tremors have only abated somewhat, but my doctor assures me that much of it can be addressed with an adjustment in medication. That's the "bad" news. The GOOD news is that you have become such good friends and family to me over the past few months.

Daddy's Girl -- Part Four

Lawrence finds being Heather so delightful. Will that be his fate? He is becoming 'one of the girls' to joy of his mother. But what about his father?

Joey & Joy - Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Joy’s viewpoint

With a resigned sigh, Joy gets up from the oh so comfortable (NOT) chair that is next to the table in her hotel room. She had hoped that Joey would call tonight so that she could apologize for her unthinking teasing, but obviously he’s not ready to talk to her.

‘Not that I can blame him,’ she thinks morosely to herself. ‘Who would’ve thought he’d have that strong of a reaction this many years later.’

Another Sex Dispute, but This Athlete Has Four Legs

I thought someone might be interested in this article about a non-human intersexed athlete:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/19/sports/19racing.html?_r=1&...

I wonder if most species of mammals have about the same incidence of intersex conditions?

Having internet connection problems

I can't access the internet via my broadband connection and am waiting for the techies to contact me in the next day or so. My posting of stuff may thus be delayed as I'm using my dongle and netbook computer. This is slow and it loses the signal when it feels like it, losing me whatever I was doing.

Eureka-ka-ka-ka

The good news is that we have found a house to rent.

I looked at a bungalow last week and it was right on the main Shaftesbury to Salisbury road and was painted magnolia - which looked grubby before we'd even started. The outhouses turned out to be worse than useless and she wouldn't let us put in a cat flap for Sammo.
