I'm not quite sure how I'll keep in touch right now (email? YIM? The Haven? My Blog?...) but I WILL keep in touch!<br /><br />Love,<br />CaitlynCaitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-52526968946194335492013-07-27T08:24:48.990-04:002013-07-27T08:24:48.990-04:00Leeanne,

Almost every single post you make have all the materials of a caption... a wonderfully emotive image and a story to go along with it. While many caption artists dream of a full and total transformation, there are plenty who dream of a more 'sissy' style transformation. Your blog feeds those desires beautifully. <br /><br />Love,<br />Caitlyn<br />Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-72389936423926687522013-07-27T08:18:08.657-04:002013-07-27T08:18:08.657-04:00Dee,
Before I get into the meat of this comment I...Dee,<br /><br />Before I get into the meat of this comment I have to thank you for selecting that song. Not only is it appropriate on many levels to your post, but it's a song that I've long loved but never took the time to add to my collection. A quick stop by the iTunes store and now I can play it on repeat for the next few hours!<br /><br />I can't imagine how bitter sweet it must be to have your daughter finally grow up and leave the nest. Having children always seemed like a no brainer decision... of course I would have children one day. But as I grow older that 'one day' remains off over the horizon. At this point in my life if I did have a child of my own, they would still be in college when I retire. I'd be one of those weird old people at the elementary school parent teacher meetings and might even be assumed to be their grandparent. As my life continues to line up and I plan for the future instead of merely dreaming about the future I see that having children of my own may well never be in the cards for me. <br /><br />I'm sure that some caption artist will soon take my place at the table of cappers. There always seems to be new blood coming in and while many of their stays are short and brilliant a few will surely stay around for the long haul. And just as you mentored and supported me, they'll surely provide you with new projects to help along! I'm just sorry that I was never really able to mentor anybody myself. <br /><br />Love,<br />Caitlyn <br />Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-51327867931910131222013-07-25T09:40:25.929-04:002013-07-25T09:40:25.929-04:00I'd consider you a "Sissy Lifestyle Blogg...I'd consider you a "Sissy Lifestyle Blogger". You are also a creator of mini-captions ... captionettes perhaps? ... so you are definitely a part of our community! It is much more varied than most people think .. from the dreamers of fantasy all the way through to those in the lifestyle.<br /><br />I mentioned it on her "Times .. They are a Changing" posting that she might feel differently once the novelty wears off and all the things he is going through now becomes routine .. things like having to work a double or 24 hours in a row due to a blizzard/snow storm or the first Christmas as a nurse. Of course, with the new job Calvin might want to save up to rent his own apartment closer to work, get a decent car, find a girlfriend .. and the job helped move him that way.<br /><br />I think Calvin still might visit your blog above most of ours. He's done his share of TG Captions, but as an inquisitive guy, I'm sure he wants to read about the rest of your story .. something he's probably not thought about much beforehand, but now that he's been exposed, he'll want to read to the end.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-68048054205302552812013-07-25T09:09:29.912-04:002013-07-25T09:09:29.912-04:00This TG Captioning community is truly unique.

Like you, and I am certain others, we secretly hope Caitlyn will find a balance that lets her remain a presence. who knows? Perhaps she'll find a new inspiration? But either way, I mainly want her to be happy, even if it means we don't see her as often. I suspect I'll be around, although I do realize I am not really a captioner. I don't even know what I would be called, other than a sissy. Still, I feel as though I've been adopted in a way by your community, and I'm grateful As for children, my own experience is that nothing in life impacts a person in quite the same way as a child. Oh, and by the way, I have always been fascinated by Sea Anomalies.<br /><br />Smooch!<br /><br />LeeanneLeeanne Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969802988317490239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-29833441129798693032013-07-24T23:40:22.719-04:002013-07-24T23:40:22.719-04:00Very true!

Nice to see you took it all in stride!<br /><br /> I actually built the whole caption around that exchange. I was thinking to myself, that I seem to be one of the few captioners to not really take more than a week or 10 days off .. "am I an anomaly or something?" and the bimbo voice hiding somewhere said, "nah, you definitely aren't a sea creature!" and I knew I had to caption it.<br /><br />PS for those that don't know, I was referencing a "Sea anemone"<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_anemoneDee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-60486943195670561682013-07-22T19:28:31.407-04:002013-07-22T19:28:31.407-04:00Unless something major comes up, you probably will...Unless something major comes up, you probably will not ever need to know of a world with out me. :P I appreciate the comment you left on my blog. I hope to keep up this every other day pace on my blog, as I just don't have the back catalog of caps that I used to. At least that I'm comfortable with. I like to have a big buffer of caps, just in case something comes up. <br /><br />Though I might end up missing on the blog and haven, you can still always get in touch with me trough my email, or yim. <br /><br />I'm hoping that I'll be able to stay in touch with caitlyn, even if it's through emails. I'm very happy for her and what she's been able to achieve. It's wonderful news, even it might mean we will not be able read any more of her beautiful, and some times very naughty captions.

You were actually away helping a friend (As you tend to do!) so Crystal was pretty much running things if I remember correctly.<br /><br />Didn't think you noticed me until I started stealing your shoes from that wonderful closet of yours. So glad that you did though. From what I've written above, I wonder how many people are still around that get that joke?!?<br /><br />I could gush about you all day, but then you'd never get any work done! Also, I don't think you are going anywhere so you are stuck with us!Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-50655901277810903862013-07-22T02:20:11.795-04:002013-07-22T02:20:11.795-04:00Oh, and I don't think you're the only one ...Oh, and I don't think you're the only one sticking around.Joanna Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765570687013090805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-72925333877750800722013-07-22T02:18:56.697-04:002013-07-22T02:18:56.697-04:00Dee, I am just so honoured you can't believe.....Dee, I am just so honoured you can't believe...<br /><br />I'm writing this with my Boy trying to learn how to blow down a straw and my Girlie upstairs asleep, so I'm a few stations back on the journey you describe there but feel every bit of what you've written. I sincerely hope I can be as good a parent as you have been to your daughter, based on the glimpses I've read on here I'd say I have a lot to live up to.<br /><br />And I read the posts over at Caitlyn's with the same mixture of happiness for her and sadness that the blog will be discontinued as many others. However, I can't ever claim to have been as much a friend as you have of her either. You have a talent for being a mentress I think, Mistress Dementia. ;)Joanna Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765570687013090805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-59737538082502556742013-07-22T01:16:57.421-04:002013-07-22T01:16:57.421-04:00I see how I rate...
