Hello to everyone from Philly! I've just picked up my tux; I'm going to a Royal Ball / Charles and Camilla look-alike contest tonite LOL! Now, to my british friends, no offense is meant ... just all in good fun. Prince Charles, Camilla and others are in Philly this weekend. I imagine that they're at the liberty bell or independence hall at the moment given the crowds I see out the window. Just as when Elizabeth came some years ago, everyone is using it as an excuse for parties and outright silliness. There are Charles and Camilla cut out masks in the newspapers and every bar and club in town is having "Royal Balls" and look alike contests. I must confess, I wish I were attending the dinner with the mayor tonite.... the mayor of Philadelphia is nothing but an ambitious and course street roughian with all the class of a pig in swill LOL! It must make for a hysterical evening.

Well, just wanted to say hello to all.

It has been a busy few days. I am sure glad AnyDVD updated and updated to beta and then updated and solved some of my vampire woes! I have tried to be a good citizen and answer some posts as well. So many people have helped me here...it's only right!!!

I hope everyone is doing well and that CincyRob finds something to do between now and the superbowl. We always need wood chopped at my place!

Cheers,

@Ireland - great penguin tux guitar graphic for gerry1...now can you find one of a kitty with a bass guitar???????????????...lol...

How was "the Ball" anyhow G?

 

and kitty66 i see your posting in the slysoft forums

 

Good late evening or real early morning. lol.

kitty66,
You play the bass guitar? Cool if you do. Just bought one myself and learning. :O I have zero music ability but wanted to get one for years and finally told the wife what I wanted for X-mas and she let me get it. lol.

.......c

 

@greensman - OK, I am such a beginner but, yes, I do play. It is really the 'ol man that is the efficianado. He's the full time bassist in addition to Cabana Boy duties...lol...

It is a great instrument that needs better players he is one of them I am not. I am a better singer than bassist. Once I finish spending too much $$$ on my power supplies we're going into our own recording equipment. So, keep practicing and tell your wife that she has gotten off easy for now.

@aabbccdd - Yup, you too! Imagine you a Junior Member it cracked me up. I feel like I have to post back and do my part. I was pleased the forum opened up as I was beginning to have angst issues with Slysoft and wondered if support would read the post. So far nothing back from them but for now the issue is fixed. Thanks again for your part in that, btw. Just finished watching my backup

@saugmon - you didn't stick around the other forum long enough, there were saw3 threads in the anydvd section...grimace...

Cheers,
K

 

kitty66 , so the dvd you were having trouble with you finally got? please tell me YES!!!

and does the hubby play a 4 or 5 string Bass Guitar?

just finshed watching Big head Todd And The Monsters "Live At The Filmore" DVD amazing band/music. they bass player does a 5 string

 

Good morning all! I went to slysoft just to see what all the hubub is about; saw some of you folks there but, just not my cup of tea.

@Kitty66 ... the "Royal Ball" was a real hoot. Some people rented fancy cars and/or horse and carriages from the historic district to make spectacular entrances. There were a lot of "look alikes" though more for the sake of being outrageous than actual resemblence. There were quite a few queens (in more ways than one LOL), a lot of strap on cardboard ears for Charles which were hysterical, the Camillas were unremarkable though. The most fun was this redheaded kid who came as Prince Harry complete with swa-stika armband and actually looked a lot like him. Again, no offense to my british friends...it was just Philadelphia's silly way of celebrating the visit of your royals. Was all in good fun and fun it was. LOL!

 

theres hope for ye members..

Unhappy as a boy, Kim became youngest ever transsexual at 12

By Bojan Pancevski in Vienna, Sunday Telegraph
Last Updated: 1:12am GMT 29/01/2007

A boy of 12 is believed to have become the world's youngest sex change patient after convincing doctors that he wanted to live the rest of his life as a female.

The boy - originally called Tim, but now known as Kim - has started to receive hormone treatment, in preparation for the operation that will eventually complete the sex change.

Tim was diagnosed as a transsexual two years ago, when doctors and psychiatrists concluded that his claims to be "in the wrong body" were so deeply felt that he required treatment. The therapy involves artificially arresting male puberty, with a series of potent hormone injections before the administration of female hormones to initiate the development of features such as breasts.

Now aged 14, and officially registered as a female, Kim looks like a typical girl of her age. She dresses in fashionable clothes, has long blonde hair and blue eyes and dreams of moving to Paris to become a fashion designer. Her parents, who initially assumed their son was going through a temporary phase, eventually grew accustomed to seeing him as a girl.

The family's full identity has not been made public. But Kim's father, known as Lutz P. – speaking to the German publications Der Spiegel and Stern – said that as a child, the boy liked to play with Barbie dolls, enjoyed wearing dresses and, from the age of two, insisted that he was a girl. "We saw Kim as a girl, but not as a problem. Our life was surprisingly normal."

Kim reacted badly to the first signs of puberty, he said. "At that stage we realised that she was terrified of growing facial hair and her voice breaking."

Kim's parents consulted psychiatrists across Germany. Some condemned their support of their child's desire to undergo a sex change, or suggested that Kim be kept under observation in a closed psychiatric ward. But others agreed that the child should receive therapy, because growing up to be a man would have damaged her personality.

Dr Bern Meyenburg, the head of a clinic for children and adolescents with identity disturbances at Frankfurt University, concluded that the child was serious. He wrote in his diagnosis: "Kim is a mentally well-developed child who appears happy and balanced. There is no doubt of the determined wish, that was already detectable since early childhood. It would have been very wrong to let Kim grow up to be a man. It is rare to have such a clear-cut case."

Kim is reportedly fully accepted by her fellow school pupils and teachers. The costs of the procedure are being covered by health insurance, as the condition qualifies as an illness.

Dr Achim Wuesthof, an endocrinologist specialising in children and adolescents, who is treating the teenager at a clinic in Hamburg, said the procedure had been a success so far. Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, he said that even though under-16s were not permitted to undergo a sex change in other countries, he and his colleagues felt that in this case it had been best to start earlier. He said: "To the best of my knowledge, Kim is the youngest sex change patient in the world. According to German law, two independent psychiatrists must confirm that the child is indeed transsexual and approve the sex change. Once that has been done, it is best to start as early as possible.

"Transsexuals experience the onset of puberty, and the physical changes it brings, as a serious trauma. But there is a general lack of empathy with cases like Kim's, mostly because people know little about the condition. Imagine a man that suddenly starts growing breasts or a woman that starts growing a beard against their will – that is how Kim and people like her experience puberty.

"They are not freaks, nor do they suffer mental illness. They are simply trapped in the wrong bodies. That is why it is best to help them as early as possible and reduce the trauma for them and their families."

The problem that Dr Meyenburg and other psychiatrists faced was distinguishing a true transsexual personality from a temporary gender identity crisis. Dr Meyenburg quoted an example of a 15-year-old girl who wanted to change her sex, but who revealed during counselling that she had suffered brutal sexual abuse by her father – a case for psychological, rather than hormonal therapy.

Should Kim change her mind before the surgery, the procedure could be reversed. Doctors admit that the treatment involves a risk, however, and that its effects on children as young as Kim are not fully understood.

For legal reasons, the final stage – cosmetic surgery to remove the male genitalia – cannot take place until Kim is 18. Britain's youngest transsexual is Angel Paris-Jordan, who was granted an operation on the NHS at the age of 17.
