Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.

You have a friend that wants to know why you read fanfic or why a straight woman reads slash. What story or stories do you share with them to help them understand?
I had one friend, who likes a good cry, read Water Rises by Jane Mailander. (I wonder if I will ever get through it without a handful of tissues?) The other one likes a good laugh and some escapism, I had her try Tryst by Roxie130. Then I had them try anything by LitGal. They both have continued to read fanfic. Although they now read some fandoms I don’t, I consider them successes.
So what would/have you used or recommended to show others what started you reading or writing fanfic? Or keeps you searching for a story you remember or might become your next favorite?

I think I like it.

Torchwood Star John Barrowman Announces Addition to his Family
Posted By Freelance Writers Date: 29/02 Posted Under: Animal Charities, Animal Welfare, Celebrity Dog Owners

Torchwood star and West End performer John Barrowman has welcomed a new friend into his life.

The actor and singer has re-homed a Jack Russell Terrier from Cardiff Dogs Home.

John Barrrowman fell in love with the 12 week old pup who staff had named ‘Captain Jack’ whilst opening a new kennel block at Cardiff Dogs Home.

The Jack Russell Terrier had been found abandoned recently in a Cardiff flat and was being cared for by staff at the Dogs Home.

Accompanied by Captain Jack John Barrowman officially opened the four new kennels at the Dogs Home which have been built to house larger dogs and mothers with pups.

Councillor Judith Woodman, Cardiff Council Deputy Leader said:

“Cardiff Council is very grateful for the support of John Barrowman who has visited the Dogs Home to officially open a new kennel block. The new kennels have been converted from an old derelict building and were made possible by donations from two kind benefactors who bequeathed money to the Dogs Home last year.”

“Around 1300 abandoned and stray dogs pass through Cardiff Dogs Home each year. The new kennels will be used to house bigger dogs and for nursing mothers with pups. The donations have also helped to pay for the refurbishment of a vet’s room so that spaying and castration can now be carried out on site.”

John Barrowman said: “I was pleased to be invited to Cardiff Dogs Home to support all the good work that it does for abandoned and stray dogs throughout the city. As a dog owner and Patron of the Dogs Trust myself
I know how important it is to pass on the message of responsible dog ownership to all dog owners.”

During my visit to the Dogs’ Home I fell in love with a 12 week old Jack Russell Terrier who was recently abandoned in an empty flat in Cardiff. I have now adopted the little fella ‘Captain Jack’ as part of our
family.”

well this is the latest stitch blanket I have completed. I hope to be dropping it off at the hospitial soon. It was done in Red Hearts Angel Print.



And here is a close up of the stitch.

I have two new pictures. One giving an idea of the difference between the baby blanket and the lap robe. The other a close up showing some of the detail of stitches that make up the blankets. These are both pretty basic but I can and have done more complex ones. Although I will never knit another Fan and Feather Shetland Lace baby blanket if I can help it. I tell my niece to take good care of it if she wants to use it for her kids.

Friends, family and members of my congregation love getting my blankets as wedding or baby shower gifts. And I make the lap robes for some of my more cold blooded friends. Just the right size for travel. Why is it so many of us wives are freezing while the hubbys are sweating while on the road I am not sure but there you have it. The lap robes are also a good size for when you are sitting in a chair at home or an arena. Big enough to tuck around but small enough to carry in and out.

Here are some blankets that I have made. I am offering the baby blanket or a customized lap robe for Moonridge. I would love to offer the wolf cross stitch I have 3/4 of the way done but my eyes are so unreliable on these new meds I have trouble keeping the keyboard in focus, let alone an 18 count fabric. So I have no idea when if ever it will be done.
