Why Be Angry

I have had plenty of time to sit and try to get my head around a few things... One, I was very upset at the cliquish groups that are here.. I felt as if I were back in High School... I mean I understand that not everyone will like you and this is okay. However, When there are those who make it plain and evident this is what they are doing, then this is where I use to have a problem with. This is no longer the deal.. I could care less who doesn't want to get to know the real me... it is their lo

Health Update!

Update:   Went to the doctor today, with my wonderful husband at my side. The doctor did a a1c test which is supposed to give my average glucose levels for the last 3 months. That should give a better indication of what exactly is going on with me.   She agrees with us that she doesn't think it was a seizure like the ER doctor thought and is fairly certain that it was the low glucose levels that caused me to pass out. She is also doing some kind of blood test for my thyroid and all of those

Boston Bombers are NOT Czech

http://zpravy.idnes.cz/foto.aspx?server=zpravy.idnes.cz&r=zpravodaj&foto1=JB4aa280_usa.jpg   I know that not ALL Americans are stupid and ignorant, but there are still plenty enough to generate news like what is shown in the picture I linked. During the last hours since it was revealed that the bombers had links to CHECHNYA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chechnya), many Americans tweeted their surprise about the bombers coming from the CZECH Republic. Even if they used the official shor

A very special Thank You

With everything going on in today's world it isn't often you hear of people taking the time to put together a project just to make someone smile.   I've had a few set backs this year, but I keep going. Like everyone I have my ups and downs. Yesterday was a bit rough with the tests I had to take causing my back to flare up again. So you can imagine my surprise when I got a package today.   At first I thought it was a really big box from one person, however I soon discovered that there were ma

Health and safety gone mad?

Well apparently I've managed to get my Brett's ten year old nephew, Michael, suspended from school for three days.   Brett and I were talking to him recently about the games that we played in school during breaktime (recess). One of the most common games I played when I was in junior school (age 7-10) was a version of tag called British Bulldogs (when I was 5 or 6 I used to play Fishy-Fishy instead, but that really is for the littler kids to play).   The link explains the basics of the rule

Some thoughts about the Boston Marathon Bombing

As a Bostonian, I am extremely sad and angry. Sad at the three lives extinguished so far and over a hundred, whose lives will never be the same. Angry that some one could act like this and kill so indiscriminately.   It felt like 9/11 happened again, but it was much closer to home. I've walked these routes in years past, I've traveled down Newbury street like most twenty-somethings in my town looking to take in the newest restaurants and fashions. I remember eating lunch on the steps of the li

beautiful weekend

Just got home from an awesome mother/daughter weekend with my nine year old daughter, and just, wow, the memories made on this trip are just priceless. We drove down to cedar rapids yesterday morning and spent the morning exploring the city, taking in the beautiful architexture and museums as well as having a nice dinner together and then totally going gaga over the half price bookstore we found. I think we both could have moved in there for a week and still not explored everything. After the bo

Alaska Teacher's Job Fair

Wow, what a whirlwind the past few days!   First, I ran out of school Wednesday afternoon and over to the Long Beach airport where I found out that our plane was delayed in Portland due to a mechanical failure. Time: 3:45ish pm. Flight departure time: supposed to be 5 pm. Since the plane would not be able to make it to us by 5, they sent a number of us to different airports for different flights. My group went up to LAX where the nice lady at check-in said, "Say, we've room on a non-stop stra

Did 90's Fantasy have more gay subtext than modern fantasy?

I was itching to re-watch some old fashioned campy 90's action shows, so only one name came to my mind, Xena   Yes, that show was definitely made to be utter cheese, but I really tried to pay attention to all the lesbian hints in the show that I missed as I was growing up. I watched it as a kid in the 90's, but never really thought of it with sexual overtones, just that Lucy Lawless kicked ass! Now, I realize how much subtle romantic and love interest there was between Xena and Gabriel, which

Ambulance Ride

So, I had promised a couple of people that I would post a blog about what had happened to me last night.   I was simply sitting here, talking and laughing with my husband. I was on the couch, he was on his chair and suddenly he said I just collapsed and somehow ended up on my stomach on the floor, out cold and completely unresponsive.   Scary stuff... but I don't remember any of that, I only know what I was told later. He rushed over to me and I was breathing, but no matter how much he sa

Writing Prompts #224 & #225

I've talked about our GayAuthors.org community many times, but I have to say, in seeing some recent comments and posts - I am once again just so privileged to be a part of GA. A few years ago, when Myr asked me to be the Member Advocate and among other tasks, help support and foster the community here, I immediately said yes and have had no regrets since.   One of the great ways I see the community coming together is weekly here with our Friday writing prompts, courtesy of the great Comicfan.

eBook Review: Covet Thy Neighbor by L.A. Witt

Covet Thy Neighbor by L.A. Witt My rating: 4 of 5 stars   I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this eBook and delved right into it. I adored Tucker Springs #3 and couldn't wait for books #4 and #5 in this series. Each book focuses on a different couple, so they can be read alone, but couples show up from each in the community in this series.   In Covet Thy Neighbor, Seth's conflict was quite well done and clear. He was obviously the main character and had a lot to deal with. I agree with

Wacky Wednesday: How Ga Changed My Life

How GA Changed My Life Compiled By Renee Stevens   I don't remember what really brought me to GA in the first place, but that's not important. What is important is what I found here at GA. I no longer get asked why I write what I write. Instead, I have found acceptance of my writing that I haven't really found anywhere else. I was made a part of this community and I have met so many wonderful people who I am honored to call my friends. Those friends have been instrumental in so
