if you had told me a few years ago my ex would be sending me a bag of women's clothes to use I would have called you delusional. But that happened today. I wish I could send out some of my good luck to everyone here.

So I took the clothes home, and tried them on, and I had a kitty "helping" me . She was very helpful sitting in the middle of the pile of clothes on my bed occasionally mewing commentary. the dog was at the foot of the bed to offer a dissenting opinion

Anybody else have a word go missing from their vocabulary? I'm talking a simple, everyday word, one you've read and said hundreds of times just drop out and leave you half angry and half terrified?

Its happened to me. In fact, recently, I was trying to relate a story about a time when this happened, and the SAME WORD hat had given me such distress the first time disappeared as I was trying to talk about it.

Sighs. Dementia here I come ...

I felt really guilty posting so sporadically, so I swore to myself (and maybe some readers in DMs) that I would keep my wrangling with personal demons to myself until I actually FINISHED my god-cursed stories and posted the rest up until the end.

....seemed like a good idea at the time....

but as I wrote... diversions/digressions developed and I felt like one of those characters in an old horror film (say, poltergeist) running down the hall as it just kept getting longer and she found herself losing ground!

So. My conundrum:

This morning I was reading one of the stories on the site, written by someone in the uk...ish area.

During the read I saw O before estrogen. And for some reason this completely and totally pissed me off.

I didn't know why I was pissed off just that I was.

This is one of those words that I can only call a breakdown in the language. Is it due to some bigot that thinks "Oh well those bloody mericans call it this so we will call it this just to piss them off" thing?

Well it looks like summer is here - at least for a few days!

Sorry for taking so long to post this but I hit two major impediments:

Ran across this again. The last time was several years ago. I'm sure some of you have seen it. This couples story, less the full time coming out and resulting full transition, could be mine. Makes me wonder just where my journey will end.

My husband became a woman

You can't help but luv 'em!

tough day today. tweeked my male bits while out shopping with Sharon, which set off my dysphoria so bad I could have broken down and cried right there but managed to hold it in. The pain and dysphoria then triggered my PTSD, so I was really having a tough time. So how can I recover from such difficulties? I watch something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW9f04Dctz4

Listen... I’m sorry that I have to post this but a dear friend of mine who was much loved for their stories on this site has decided that due to a few antagonistic comments repeatedly criticizing their characters and how said FICTIONAL CHARACTERS responds to situations presented to them in a FICTIONAL STORY was not in line with how that they felt that the FICTIONAL CHARACTERS created by this author should have reacted. As a result of this the author has pulled the entire story down and is considering leaving the community.

We all know the realities here. At 72, I'm still stronger than a genetic woman my age or younger. Please don't do this.

My fairly recent lack of vision has been determined to be a genetic eye defect. I went from having better than 20/20 to well a lot worse in a very short time span. The degenerative disorder might force me to get a cornea transplant sometime in the future.

Annoying to be sure but I can live with that. Except for hard contacts, it’s like walking around with something in your eye all day. Pass I'll stick to wearing glasses.

here is a little writing prompt: Two police entered the bus station. One seemed too young, an impression mostly given by the fact his uniform is too large for him. The other had grey hair and wrinkles, but carried himself with confidence and strength. The younger officer opens a locker, and strains to pull out a duffel bag. The older officer unzips the bag, revealing it is stuffed with cash. The younger man swallows, and says, "We're gonna get killed for this, arent we?" The older man replies, "Probably."

Have you ever heard the story about how AARP got started?

Here's a recap. https://states.aarp.org/chicken-coop-unlikely-birthplace-aarp/

One night, about a decade ago, I was having an enjoyable dinner out with another insurance executive. He was the founder of several large insurance organizations including two large reinsurance companies. He was a serious-minded person who had a solid reputation.

Sorry about this but I fell behind in my writing. I really wanted to get Chapter 18 done before posting 17. I didn't happen. I'll try to get 18 finished by the end of the week and hopefully post 17 then. If not then we're going to be another week behind again. Sorry about that.

Somehow it's already May, the year is flashing by!

It is sobering to finally understand that perhaps much of my hiding in the shield of extreme religion is that I did not have to address actually doing what a woman does. There have been a few men my age actually "hit" on me and I've effectively run screaming down the street. And, it is well known that when some men find out about you, even if you are Post Op and look the part, they can be very dangerous.

I've even repulsed the men that knew and not because I am so holy, but because I was frightened to death, yikes.

It's been bugging me a bit for I years if I am being honest.

I know I am definitely into kink\(how I met my soon to be ex) and I've seen a lot of T(v,g,s) / CD around.

Now my question. Is there a relation to kink and us, or is are we generally more inclined to the kink scene?

If it fulfills her self esteem after two failed marriages and a five year boyfriend relationship which also failed..., why not? The funny part of this is I agree as this seemed to bring something into her life to help salvage her emotions. Wish I had been there. Might be another way to bring self respect to those who have lost it.
Too many lost to hate and suicide. Weighs on the soul.
always,

I'm fast approaching the point where I'll have to decide how dark my story turns. Should I keep it lighter or explore a potentially much darker element that would affect the whole world's future?

bye big guy...hug our princess Carrie for us!

New story up! https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/79105/case-grimwood-g...

Released a few days ago. This is the fourth book in the Drew Leighton Series.

Drugs are being sold and used around small children or at schools across the US.

Reasonable people, adults or even youth feel betrayed when the business of drugs endangers children or safe places like schools.

A lot of thanks to everyone that chipped in. As you can see in the sidebar, we made our goal for the month and got a good start on May.

About 40 people donated in four days. Thanks all of you.

Hugs,
Erin

Well big news if you love car shows, Jeremy Clarkson is leaving "The Grand Tour" which means that show will end. Regardless of if you think he was an ass, to me the onscreen chemistry with his co-star's just worked and to me and many others was magic. I can't imagine who they could find that will be quite as obnoxious yet endearing even if he is a snob.

apparently I have a very common problem for women. Uti my first.

Not really enjoying it since I am also very badly constipated at the same time.

And no I am not drinking cranberry juice, thanks I have heard enough about it already but it makes me wanna throw up as soon as I smell it.

I know you are all dying to find out what happens next with Gaby but you'll have to be patient I'm afraid.

I've always loved spring, when I no longer have to don a coat, scarf and gloves to go outside. No more scraping thick layers of ice off the windshield, car doors frozen shut (or the latch frozen so it will not shut after opening). Sitting outside on the front porch plucking away at notes on my guitar or banjo while sipping on a cold adult beverage. Although this spring the little one is determined that I should only practice the violin so we can practice together, but hey it's music and fun.

As the Germans would have it!

I know many of you already have read this one, but I wanted to make sure everyone was aware.
I have been in the middle of some personal issues for the last few weeks and I apologize for not posting something earlier.
This is the 9th book in the Lee Corcoran series. There will be more.
Thank you everyone for your support.

Thank you and have delightfully demented day,

I don't know what to say. I have bills, Piper and Cat have bills and BigCloset has bills. There is money that comes in next week but that is already spent in the budget. The constant money problems drag me down. After six months of being ill, I'm having trouble functioning. Money in the Hatbox would not cure my depression but maybe I could sleep without waking up at 3 a.m. for an appointment with worry.

There is less than 400 in the company accounts and less than 300 in my personal ones.

If you can help, it will be appreciated. Thanks.

Good golly Miss Molly -- depression seems to be quite common within our ranks.

Yesterday, I had to have an eye exam to please the State of Minnesota so that I can drive the two or three thousand miles a year I put on my relic VW. On a whim, I asked the optometrist if there was anything to the "myth" of blue light impacting sleep.

Wow! He went from Mr. Quiet Conservative to Son-of-a Preacher-Man in a nano-second. The next ten minutes was a steady stream of melatonin-talk.

Indeed, i'm sad to say, it's the end of Summery!

It's a bit weird really, for one reason or another I find myself revisiting some of my scribbling from 'back in da day'.

Tired after hosting Easter, and cooking and cleaning and working. Fret not, Chapter 18 on Wednesday.

Another week and I will take Viper off. For those of you who might want to be able to re-read it before the sequel, don't forget to ask for your free epub, there are still some left in the give away. All I'd like in return is a review (or rating) on Goodreads.

Happy easter all,
Monique,

And if we ignore the news, its a good one here with warm sunny weather that reminds me of Easters of yore!
