What is on your mind

[morningstar55]

how is it some are so rude.......

your having a nice conversation with someone your trying to get to know over the phone..... and suddenly they disappear.... ( this is the 2nd time this has happend) .... you wonder .. did there phone die?? did we lose signal??
then later about an hr later... they send you a tex saying.......... someone was at the door.
now i think this is rude....... or am i missing something?

[Duchess]

I'm wishing that one of my friends would get the lead out. I'm ready for fishing!!!

[JakeTulane]

Finally arriving where I belong... Home.

I WANA GOOOooooooooooooOO

[ruthie14]

Will I be able to find another part time job so I can get out of this financial crisis and maybe even save something? Been on the net and out and about, but it's looking grim. Maybe in a couple weeks when all the kids go back to school I might be able to find something.

[Bootsandheels]

one more mug of coffee~

and then i think i'm gonna get in the car
crank the music up too loudly
and just drive around out in the country for a while
with all the windows open
& pretend i'm in a convertible
:hippie:

Oh this so speaks to me...I am SO doing the same thing!

I am new here, so posting this tidbit from my blog (on the other site :P) check it out if interested..;)

(Teary...green rubber clogs on, getting ready to go to vet's soon)

Because I am Femme...I really want a strong butch by my side today as I struggle to deal with finding a new home for my beautiful dog who just bit someone randomly yesterday.

Because I am Femme...it's hard for me to admit the above statement, because I'm strong and can handle it with as much grace and dignity as possible, but I so could use that strong, steady, loving butch energy today.

Because I am Femme...I am recognising and missing a whole new level of "bondedness" in the magic dynamic between a butch and a femme...that of true, deep and steadfast friendship.

(shuffles off to the vet to get shots and begin the process of saying goodbye...insert broken heart here)

[chefhottie25]

the adorable girl in my life.

[Duchess]

Disappointed that my friends wanted to go fishing tomorrow instead of today. Not waiting around for them anymore. If they're not ready in a timely manner, I will just go by myself. :4femme:

[Kenna]

Hiatal hernia?? or some other kind of serious stomach troubles?

how much I hurt and how it nearly ruined a good evening/good meal

Thinking how grateful and thankful I am for having such caring, compassionate, helpful friends that take such good care of me. Sorry I made them worry so. Am a bit blown away as to how/why that "attack" hit so suddenly and without warning.

[sweetfemme247]

a great dinner, and great company, texting my love and spending the evening with my aunt and my fat prego dog.

The ghetto bird is circling our neighborhood, and yet tonight it sounds like it's either short on gas or has some sort of engine malfunction; good goodness, for fucks sake, get it together APD!

[Soft*Silver]

oh dear...I am dealing with this right now. I am a few days away from a hiatal hernia surgery. 1/3 of my stumach has protruded thru the hiatus. (I wondered why out of now where a few years ago I got a belly roll I NEVER had before)And its twised under my ribs. So...surgery soon...

you can get seriously ill from this..it can rupture. I am on speed dial to my ambulance service. Do NOT play around with this..go see someone...

What on my mind today, Is how wonderful the reunion was and how sweet everyone was. We do have an awesome group of people. I want to send out a big thanks to all of you for making me feel comfortable there without my partner. Love and kisses to everyone

I've learned a valuable lesson since moving recently...
Although I was raised in the Appalachian Mountains, a little farm/country girl kicking her boot heals in mud and tromping around in the wilderness with ALL kinds of critters and crawlies... I was never repulsed by certain kinds of bugs until one spider bite made me VERY sick (several years ago)...

Now since moving from city life back to the deep country/wilderness... I have learned the hard way to SHAKE OUT ALL OF MY CLOTHES, SHOES, and BLANKETS.... especially if I go to pick something up off the floor or bottom of linen closet. Or.... a person just might get an unpleasant, nasty surprise visit from a BIG ASS HAIRY CREEPY LONG LEGGED NASTY UGLY MAKE-ME-SCREAM-LIKE-A-LITTLE-GIRL JURASSIC-SIZED BEAST of a BUG or SPIDER!!!!

Trust me, it was funny AFTER the event/scream was over!! I wanted to put on my old shorts to finish yard chores when I found they had been "claimed" by a BIG ASS HAIRY CREEPY LONG LEGGED NASTY UGLY MAKE-ME-SCREAM-LIKE-A-LITTLE-GIRL JURASSIC-SIZED BEAST!!! with longer front legs than back legs!


:runforhills::runforhills:

Do we have a smilie that screams "JUST KILL IT!! JUST KILL IT!!" ?? :|:|

[Soft*Silver]

my kid has her first teaching job and tomorrow is the first day of classes. OMG. She is a bundle of nerves. no. She is past that. She is snapping at everyone, not realizing it and trying to get everything done by tomorrow.

In talking with her, I reminded her some of it can be done after school tomorrow. And the next day. But her performance anxiety is getting to her.

it brings me back to the day I took her in for testing to begin her first day of school. It was just me and her and the tester. I watched my little blonde child's scalp turn red, her fist ball up in the empty hand and the knuckles that held the pencil turn white from the pressure of gripping it so tightly.

Where did she get this? I am so not like this. I can be a nutcase of anxiety inside and not show a sign of it. I take on tasks and never fear I cant complete them. If it gets done, fine. If not, I will not have started a nuclear war.

I will be glad when she has this first year under her belt.

and I can now tell you, I am so not looking forward to her first mommy years...

I got two jars of my new favorite pickles: bubbies bread and butter pickles...I may well eat one whole jar tonight...that's what's on my mind...it's a pleasure to enjoy some vapid thoughts for now...

There has been an increase in domestic violence where I live. In the last week alone, there has been one murder and one attempted murder, both by spouses. It's very disheartening and frustrating to see the escalation.

[Soft*Silver]

well, well, well, more dreams and now physical manifestations....

no, no psychosis...seriously. I have done magic work all my life and usually its on this level, brought to me by higher self a bit before my earthly self is ready, so I can actually "catch it" when it appears. Well, it has appeared!

I am extremely spiritual...and I know for every spiritual experience there is a physical manifestation ....and vice versa. Well, the physical manifestation has "announced" itself!

I should have expected the physical manifestation, especially after the innocent physical act of a spiritual rite was performed intuitively but not consciously. (get your mind outta the gutter..I told someone this today and they went into the gutter...lol. So dont go there..its "other") And it was a quick result...

today...I literally was slammed with the understanding of the dreams, and fell into the "purpose" behind it all....

well, well, well....

stay tuned...some very interesting things are about to swirl....

[Duchess]

This past weekend kept getting better and better. I had to reschedule an assignment, so that meant a few extra days for folly. My friends and I decided to take our fishing to North Carolina.

We're staying at the Wyndham Resort at Fairfield Sapphire Valley. It's so beautiful and peaceful. Mountains and fresh air is the perfect way to rejuvenate.

Just got back from spending hours at the pool. My friends are playing cards and talking shit in the background. Will fish later this afternoon. What a beautiful day this is. (f)

[Massive]

Why does it always happen in threes?

[Lainie]

Family. I wish they all would find peace.

[Duchess]

Sent my friends to the store for dinner items to go with the fish we caught today. It feels really good to have some alone time. :)

Can't wait until October.....going to a cabin in Murphy NC. Looks like a real nice place with a creek and a pond and right on the TN line. Not very far from where I use to live at in TN.

Also on my mind...a dear friend of the family died yesterday afternoon. Bums me out some. Thought he would be able to come visit with my parents in October at the cabin since he lived in Chattanooga and it is only a short drive to Murphy.

It is a hard day and I am seeking self compassion for my Heart...,:tea:

Hmmmmm.... Certain people need to learn better TIMING... While I would often enjoy such attentions, if you do it when I need to get up and cook, I will still tell you NO!!

While eating "chocolate clouds" someone said ahhhhh these are better than ice cream and sex:|

Gotta say I have never tasted anything that was better than ice cream and sex :deepthoughts:

http://www.colonialmedical.com/files/images/detailed/d_7667.jpg


Close enough?

rather disturbing. :|

oh. my. gay.
wonder who thought their vajayjay should taste minty yet chocolatey? :|

Does anyone else refer to Abby as "Crabigail" in their head or is it just me? :|

Has anyone actually seen Abby be crabby?

Does anyone else assume that they know other people well enough to talk about them as if they are not here just because they've shared web space with them for a long time?

Would someone that knows Abby better than I do please let her know that I'm not a crazy, obsessed, creepy stalkerish person but just kind of a geeky, harmless nerd who often overshares on the Internet. Other than Dixie who I may, or may not, be actually stalking at the moment. But not in a crazy, obsessed creepy sorta way.

Finally, does anyone have dinner suggestions?

All this and more is on my mind - and here I should be sleeping lol :canadian:

Anyone ever notice that Xenophobia almost always increases in proportion to the economy? When times are good nobody cares but as soon as things get tight they "foreigners" are always the first to be blamed?

This isn't just in the US - when you look back in world history there is a pattern. I am left wondering if this is some sort of a natural instinct thing in addition to or instead of a cultural/ethnic/religious/racial thing.

[AtLast]

How much more bad news about economic indicators can we take?

***thinking it is REALLY beautiful out today, with a nice cool breeze, and last night was so awesome with no humidity.... should I pack the tent, marshmellows, trail mix, sleeping bag and two pillows, BUG REPELLENT, doggy treats and tell Willy Bear to grab his water bowl, we're going camping?? (he LOVES to camp and hike!!!)
*note to self, don't forget matches, a WORKING flashlight, and Tpaper inside watertight coffee can*

[Jess]

How much more bad news about economic indicators can we take?


:blink:

Here's another one for ya...

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/local/blogs/local-opinion-zone/Stanley-Furniture-plans-to-lay-off-530-93688844.html


Stanley Furn is where my mom has worked for the past 30 some years. It is one of the remaining few factories in this area. Bassett ( the world's largest furn manf.), Pulaski, Hooker, Lane, and American and others have already closed their doors or are in that process. This area is blue collar and factories have been the primary source of income for most families here.

I find it ironic that the places the President has visited and touted "new jobs" are actually places like motor companies who have just recalled employees that had already laid off. Not "new jobs".

I don't see our economic picture getting any brighter at all and it won't until we put penalties on companies who send manf. work overseas. It surprises me that with all of our work on making the job place safe and to ensure a fair wage, we allow our major corporations to use what is little more than slave labor in other countries.

[Wryly]

Giving up soda is very difficult!

I've been cutting back on the Pepsi intake (again) - but old habits die hard. I'm at the point where I'm fine until late afternoon. But then I get a very bad headache and reach for a nice cold Pepsi.
Usually I go for a 591ml bottle. Last week I bought some of those mini cans - 100ml - which help. Although - they are sometimes more expensive than buying bottles when they are on sale.

Taking hym to the airport tomorrow is on my mind.

[WolfyOne]

Seems like everything I eat or drink for the past few days doesn't stay with me
Actually the only thing that does stay with me is water and I drink it to stay hydrated
At first I thought it was because I haven't taken an enzyme pill with my meals
Then this morning I woke up and my sinuses are draining into my stomach
I took a 12 hour sinus pill so I hope this ends soon

[Sachita]

morality is a matter of perception and none of this is here. I'm craving intelligent exchange face to face and longing for a lover.

But until that happens maybe I should go kayaking!

[moxie]

I need to go vacuum my car.

[asphaltcowboi]

insurance has decided that they will repaint my entire bike... do i want to stay with the original stock paint job.. or do i want to go with custom. i think original will hold value more but i have a cool idea for a custom paint
i call me bike black betty after the song so i was thinking of black with a grey frieght train with smoke coming out on the sides of the gas tank.

[JustLovelyJenn]

If my luck holds, and life goes at least moderately as planned... this time next year I will be in a my own home... with my beloved, and our three children. I will get to decide how and when things happen, and I wont have to be berated and have my life dictated....

NEXT YEAR CANT COME SOON ENOUGH!!!

[Soft*Silver]

how its going to feel riding a horse again...a few more hours and I am on the back of a horse...

[Venus007]

I don't want to camouflage my true nature to "fit in"
I don't want to silence and edit myself so as not to "make waves"
I don't want to worry about making other people feel comfortable
I want to be, just be as I am without apology, dilution, hiding or editing.
Too bad I am not wealthy enough, armed enough or willing to put up with the bullshit I would have to deal with in order to do it.

I reckon I'll be finding out shortly how well wine will sit in my stomach
Decided to open a bottle of my Arkansas wine
The strawberry is just as good the blackberry was in the hospitality suite

[Soft*Silver]

how wonderful it was to be around a momma horse again. I could not ride for the foal was not being cooperative but I still got my senses filled with horse stuff. She is a lovely flea bitten grey percheron and is well muscled and uncomplicated. The baby was pitch black under the baby fuzzies she was shedding off.

I think I am in love....:moonstars:

I am no longer feeling any pain

I hate salads. Use to like them. Now they suck

Maybe i'm waiting on them to say something, anyway

A very good friend at work just found out last week that her Mom has lung cancer. (not a smoker)

Yesterday she found out that it's stage 4 cancer and she has about 2 months to live.

Whyyyyyyyyyy?????? (w)

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Laerkin,

I say go for it! I have a Bachelor's Degree in computer programming and decided I needed a change. I started college on Monday to become a registered nurse.. You can never have enough education!

Good luck!

Why am I up so early in this morning? Oh yeah, I have homework to do for Anatomy and Physiology that I fell asleep lastnight before I could do it..

Four day weekend coming up..No class on Monday..Woohoo..

Enjoying this cool weather we are having here on the East Coast of Florida...I cannot wait for Fall.

[Duchess]

I'm thinking that maybe it wasn't a good idea to work from home today. All I've done so far is goof off and make movie plans. :)

[chefhmboyrd]

trying to decide how i am going to manage taking on school on top of everything else
i know i need to pursue the degree, and it sure would help me advance here
but UGH
i haven't been in school for......
uh.... well.......
OMG almost 30 years
godzilla i got old!
so yeah
to school or not to school..............
ARGH!

[waxnrope]

White, glbt people who just don't have a clue as to what its like to be confronted by those people wearing sheets. The cowardly who hide in their righteousness. The physical, emotional, and spiritual assault to their being. It is not humorous. It is not playtime. It can be deadly.:praying:

[Soft*Silver]

paying dues might get you in the club but it doesnt grant acceptance as a member. I get very tired of stupidity riding out in behaviors and words from some self important people in our community. It seems they target some segments of our community, from trans folks to POC to BBW to PIR (people in recovery)....sometimes we can stand inside the rainbow and the other colors scatter or else they shove us out of the way so our own colors get diluted or disappear. I am weary of watching it and I am certainly weary of it affecting me personally....

[Leigh]

The last couple of days are weighing heavily on My mind

[Laerkin]

People who take others hostage with their incessant drama and unhealthy obsessions. I wish them all the joy and happiness in the world on their path. They have their own lessons to learn. But, I really do not need that kind of energy or negativity in my life in any way.

So, I'll brush it off, ignore the drama, and move on along my path having learned a few more lessons that will contribute to my growth and life experience.

On to bigger, better, and more challenging things! :byebye:

[Laerkin]

Thanks for the encouragement, Zimmy!

I'm meeting with my advisor to discuss law school (with a focus in women's issues and LGBT rights) or a PhD in Women and Gender Studies. Either way, it sounds like a lot more school is in my future but both paths sound super cool.

Good luck in nursing school! You'll do great!

I could not have said it better Myself, Laerkin. smiles. As My Dad always said.. kill them with kindness and take the high road..

[Miss Scarlett]

ARGH!!!! Those dreaded email forwards I get daily from my Dad...they cover a wide range of subjects, i.e. anti-Obama, religious, pro-Islamophobia, pro-Hispaniphobia, narrow minded, pro-war, some tea party-like stuff, etc. Many contain misinformation.

For some reason people believe that if it comes in their email it must be true especially if it references Snopes. They don't bother going to Snopes independently of the email to read exactly what, if anything, the site has to say about the subject. Sometimes it merely confirms that the person who wrote whatever the email claims was written but fails to confirm, dispute or discredit the topic/facts.

I know that some day I will actually miss getting these emails from Dad but so help me I could just scream when he and my stepmother pass this garbage along.

When I see him this weekend I know the proposed Islamic Center in lower Manahattan will come up. As will the topic of immigration. I have 2 things to say in reponse to those topics:

1 -- I will ask my Dad "What if the 9-11 terrorists had been Roman Catholic?"

2 -- I will remind him and my stepmother that their ancestors who came to this country pre-Mayflower or on the Mayflower can be considered invaders or illegal immigrants. Think about it...exactly what gave them the right to move here and just take over forcing out the Native Americans who were sovereign nations with governments? Any nobody better give me that "Well you have to remember what the times were then..." crap.

OK, I can hear Shelia now - "Honey, you've had too much caffeine and it's way to early in the morning for your brain to be switched on in this manner..."

Job search is not going well here
Contemplating what I should do next
Time is of the essence, I'll be in this house alone soon
I told R the most cats I can keep is 4 possibly 5
She siad she's not worried about placing the others
I sure hope she's right
I worry some of them may die from broken hearts when they have to leave me
It's one of the hardest choices I've ever had to make
The pain in my heart hurts and weighs heavy on me daily
I find tears flowing regularly now as I think about them
I wished I had a better solution but I don't
I just don't have the finances to keep them all together
I keep telling myself, rescues are supposed to go to good homes
What if they're not good homes and R rushes to place them
In the end, I'm the one that'll hurt over this not her

[durrrrrrrr]

she is on my mind

[Zimmeh]

Thank you Laerkin!

I am really enjoying my Anatomy and Physiology class! Your focus sounds interesting and very good at the same time! A friend of mine from the dash site is doing a similar plan. Hy is taking classes to become a Sociologist. I sent hym Trans Liberation: Beyong Pink or Blue by Leslie Feinberg, they don't sell it in Europe.

Have a good night and a good holiday weekend,

Tuesday I need to call and make an appointment. The longer I wait, the more I build it up inside and if I keep that up, it might be too large of a fear for me to overcome.

[BullRider_Dillon]

I am generally quite comfortable being a transman and I rarely covet cisgendered males.Speaking for myself,I find it to be a waste of time longing for the things cisgendered males have that I do not.We are far from the medical advances that could provide these things,so I do not torment myself with coveting.I do have one wish and that is to get a text msg with the words "I´m late".That would be the ultimate for this guy...

[coach]

I am confused. I have spent some time reading today...reading threads about FTM/Butch/Transgender/Transsexual ID's. I'm sure that I missed a few and that was from just one thread. When I first discovered "Butch/Femme" websites, my world of knowledge was very small. I didn't even know that there was such a person as a Femme. Then I learned more and more and more about different identities and even biases. I have discovered so much about myself in the past 6 years but I am old enough to understand that LIFE is discovery and change and moving forward and stumbling backward.
I guess I started this post because I am lost as to who I am. I'm sure there is a thread about this but I didn't look. I don't know how I identify. I thought I did before I started reading but I must now admit that I unjustly put Butches and Femmes into two boxes, all the while reacting with righteous indignation when straight people lump us all into one box. The spectrum of "Butch" is ever expanding for me and my confusion is rooted in the fact that I don't know where I fit in that spectrum. I am more than one person. I am someone different at work than I am at home. I am different at B/F functions than I am with my family. The only place I truly feel that I can change and evolve into my ultimate self is at home, with my beautiful wife. When I talk to her about my feelings and confusion, she always says that she will love me no matter what changes I do or don't make, chemically, physically, mentally or emotionally. She just loves me. She doesnt have a person in mind that she needs or wants me to be. It brings tears to my eyes when I think about that. My entire life has been about being what people wanted me to be. Maybe that's the root of my confusion. I don't have to be a chameleon. Maybe it was easier for me to figure out what other people wanted than to figure out who I really am and what I really want.
Apologies to all if this isnt the right thread...that is all.

Enjoying this wonderful (almost) humid free day. This is a wonderful time of year here. The leaves are starting to turn and dance through the air and driving through them reminds me of playing in them as a child. It is football time in Tennessee...people are everywhere. The area has turned into a never ending sea of orange and white. People are yelling out the windows of their cars and screaming like lunitics. "Rocky Top" is blaring from most everywhere and the traffic is horrendous.

god i love this town....

That when I woke up this morning, I woke up slowly as I do every morning... yet My thoughts drifted to My girl and a smile played upon My lips.. for the memories we have made and those that are to be made. Tis a good thing to have faith and hope. No matter what you have been through in the past.. never let go of those two things. Though we can not predict the future, nor erase the past.. we can always have hope and faith in all things. I believe the Sun is shining a little brighter today in My world.

Lots of things on my mind today...

School starts tomorrow, so naturally there are a lot of things on my mind.

At the end of last year I was given the most glowing yearly review by my teacher and principal. The teacher I worked with moved to another school at the end of the year and my principal put out a great deal of effort to ensure that I remained at the middle school with her.

So, as the school year prepared to start I was made aware that the teacher I would be working under this year is only a half time teacher at our building, she would only spend TWO periods a day with us, and the rest of the time she would be at an elementary school.

I was invited to attend a meeting before school to discuss the new special educations students that would be in the building and the best way to meet there needs. This meeting included the principal, the three special education teachers in the building, and me. I am only one of 4 educational assistants in our building, but I was the only one invited to this meeting.

I also found out because my new teacher is only part time, I will be responsible for managing my own schedule, as well as the other assistant that will be hired for my room, managing all needed behavior interventions for the students on our caseload while the teacher is out of the building, adjust our students classroom assignments to their ability level, and running my own incentive program with a handful of special needs students. I also teach a small pull-out math class under the supervision of a different teacher.

This is about TWICE the amount of responsibilities that I had last year, and I am the only aid with this type of arrangement. While I am more then willing to do it, I do worry some about being in an in-between place... Not quite a teacher, but more then an aid. But, I look forward to the experience I will gain.

I am so grateful to have a principal and teacher willing to give me the freedom to function in this capacity. I plan on starting back to school sometime this year and working toward my teaching certification in special education. This type of opportunity, while unexpected and slightly overwhelming at the start, will help move me toward that goal.

This has been a very difficult weekend for me. Most of the time I have felt very overwhelmed and sad...crying for no apparent reason. Left eye twitching and will not stop.

I think this is related to the very upsetting Friday I had at work - male client screaming in my face, venting his frustration over his divorce at me. Like it's all my fault - he dropped by the office unannounced to ask for help with the asset/debt inventory affidavit form we sent him to complete. When I told him he couldn't create a form of his choosing he exploded. This is something he would not have done had my boss been in the office - for some reason there are clients who feel they can do this when I am alone in the office. After he shut up I told him we were still going to use this form and his additional information could be attached on separate sheets with reference to the sheets noted on the court's form. Not a special exception for him - this is how we add additional information.

Wonder why that marriage broke up...:thinking:

[Rockinonahigh]

The weather change is finaly hear and its cooler,where I injoy the change its causeing me to get stiff in my joints and kicking in some small but troublesome asthma attacks then add allergies to the mix..not a great day.

Thinking alot more about My transition, and how things will go once the changes begin and I'm taking T

[Thinker]

The latest thing on my mind: was just talking to my friend and told him my cell fell out of my pocket yesterday night on the bus back home from work, so I lost all my numbers. He just informed me that some Spanish guys just called him asking for $100 for the phone back...lmao, wtf, seriously? You think I'm gonna pay a hundred bucks for my phone back when I can get a new one for like 4 bucks? Have fun with my crappy motorolla flip phone, you dumbasses :P Luckily the phone company has now turned the phone off, so there goes their little venture.

Moderation

Although this post was made a short while back, it was recently reported as being racist; and the admin and mod teams agree.

It's real important that we all work to remember that an individual's race, ethnicity, and/or nationality have absolutely nothing to do with situations such as these.

I will contact Ender in private to make sure he is aware of this moderation.

The closer it gets to time to leave for work the more stress I am feeling at the moment.

My hands are cold, my heart is racing and it feels like my tummy is full of ice. All because of that client on Friday. I did not take personally what he said. But the way he said it has stayed with me. I am an abuse survivor and this incident brought back some of those old feelings.

Geez! I refuse to give in to this today.

[Laerkin]

Starting to feel a little overwhelmed with my course work. I just need to manage my time a little better when I'm outside of work and not at school.

i get what you're saying T. Sometimes i have to take a step back and remind myself that just because we all share some commonalities, we are all still individuals with our own thoughts, opinions and beliefs.

Sometimes it's hard for me to look past the differences to appreciate the person...but i try to remind myself that i have certain qualities, opinions & beliefs that others don't agree with, and they still value me as a person, as rhonda, ya know?

i also have to remind myself, "To each their own". Just because it wouldn't work for me doesn't mean it's wrong for others.

i copied this passage (with permission from the poster...thank you!!) from another thread:

>We seem to talk a lot about respecting others but have no problem giving out verbal lashings when people dont think like we do, respond in the way we expect, have the same issues with something as we do, or express outrage in the form we expect. Is that respectful? Is that honoring diversity?<

i have often been dumbfounded about this myself. i've seen such amazing support and encouragement from this community and it makes me feel great when i see it happening.

But i've also seen the same posters attack and belittle someone for expressing personal opinions & thoughts that they don't agree with.

i understand feeling strongly about issues that are important to you....i have no problem standing up for myself or my issues and think it's always a good thing to be able to do. What i don't understand is why some of us are so incredibly rude and mean when we let someone know we don't agree with them.

i'm not suggesting i would rather see everyone play kiss-ass or asking people to ignore it when someone says something they don't agree with. i just don't understand why it has to turn viscious and ugly.

What's wrong with saying, "i think you are wrong, and here's why..." instead of calling someone awful names and/or talking down to them? Why do we ask for respect and common courtesies when we don't give the same?

We love it when we see someone honor our diversity and individuality, but we wont hesitate to jump all over someone for disagreeing or stating their own opinions & thoughts if they happen to not be what we think they should be. Honestly, i would love it if everyone thought the same as i did about issues that are close to my heart, and ones that i think should be important to us all. But i know that it doesn't work that way.

Even if someone has an opinion/thought/ideology that i think is ignorant/crazy/hateful ....for example, let's say someone hates chocolate. Now i happen to know that loving chocolate is the one true *right* way to live, and not only should everyone love chocolate and partake daily, but they should also stand up against the haters. But i'm not going to belittle the dissenters because they'll just shut down and get angry, hurt and/or be rude back at me. It's much more productive to extend courtesy and calmness while i'm telling them just how wrong they are. If they continue to be a hater, then i have to understand that they don't have the same priorities as i do, and let it go.

When someone makes a comment i don't agree with, i would much rather engage them in civil conversation than go on the attack. For me, when i feel attacked, i'm not gonna be open to hearing why someone thinks i am wrong...i am gonna shut down and end the conversation or get into an arguement that leads to nothing. And i've never bought into the argument that they were mean to me so i'm gonna be even meaner to them. Well, i used to be that way, but then i grew up.

i know i'm sensitive. i always have been, i always will be. i also understand not everyone has the same communication "skills". But i do know that we are all adults here and that we are all capable of being civil.

Having a heated debate can be done while maintaining maturity and dignity.

Peace!

On my mind is that pastor's fucking nuts plan to burn the Koran.

It's so frightening to me, on so many levels.

If someone were to call on others to burn holy Jewish texts, or any other religion's texts, I would consider that a hate crime. For me, it goes beyond freedom of speech to inciting hatred and violence. And, if there are in fact any deaths that result from this stupidity, I think the pastor should be charged with homicide.

How soon we forget that the Nazis were able to burn holy books in their town squares with hardly any protest before they burned the Jews (and the queers, and...).

Therapist: "I think for this to work you two need to be a little less honest with each other. For a marriage to work, you have to conspire with your partner to not say everything. You know things aren't perfect, but you don't hammer away at it. Marriage is a silent conspiracy between two people to not confess everything, to let sleeping dogs lie."

Husband: "I like that!"

Wife: "I bet you do."

Husband: "So that's working for your marriage?"

Therapist: "I-I think so! We've been married ten years!"

Wife: "So does that mean she does or doesn't know you're gay?"

Therapist: *stammering* "Uh uh.. I think she might."

A new student transferred from Savannah, Georgia to my city in SW Ontario--she's in Gr. 12. I was thinking how hard that must be to transfer from one country and cultural climate to another--especially in that last Senior year!

She seems really sweet (I only met her two days ago) -- she brought in her binder, so I could look over what she was taught in her previous year (specialized program--I wanted a peek!).

So, I was listening to these awesome poems the students wrote as an Intro activity (I AM poems, but they love it!), and I look over to the new girl from Savannah, GA and see her bag on the ground. She has a bunch of pins on it and I sit there kinda studying them and, lo and behold, I see a big fat Rainbow Pride pin.

It just made my day.

Reading this story made Me so sad ............. I couldnt imagine going through that. A man in the car with his wife and unborn child, driving down the road without a care in the world until a car comes barelling down the other end of the road heading straight for the man and his family. Determined to save his family, the man swerves the car so that he is the one who takes the impact of the collision ~ saving his wife and unborn child but being killed in the end. What a hero he was to sacrifice his life for that of his wife and unborn child, not thinking twice about doing something like that in order to ensure that the ones he loves did not die as he did.

The occupants of the other car, four young individuals well known to police, are said to have had the influence of drugs in their system. Two of them died as well, one is in the hospital with a broken pelvis while the driver sits in jail waiting to be formally charged. It amazes Me that such things happen to good people, and the fact that where this happened will probably not find the people involved charged with more than two years in jail, completely blows My mind ........... here is the entire story:

Integrity in journalism...

For the life of me, I simply cannot see how "responsible" journalists can in any good conscience give voice to the idiot "preacher" with the pre-fab metal church and a regular audience/ congregation of about 50 other idiots. I mean seriously!
The entire world is watching and threats loom of retaliation from other idiot "religious zealots" all because friggen reporters have to get their two minutes of fame covering what would have amounted to a old redneck with a garbage can making a bon fire, had so much attention not been paid to his lunacy.
I am quite positive I could get that many "flock" members in my metal garage. Perhaps a bad moustache, polyester suit and start burning transcripts of every "responsbile" news agency giving life to that asshole. They may as well be handing him a match.

When I was 21 and in the convent my father took me to the Playboy Club to see a jazz group. The Club was a complex with magazine headquarters, the Club and a hotel. I was standing in the lobby when a woman walked into the hotel. She was about the age I am now...with the bellhop behind her with her luggage. She had on a full length mink and on one arm was a young man and on the other arm was a young woman. They were not her children. I was not shocked but envious. Heh.

I always wanted to be that woman. Oh honey babies. Fantasy fulfillment is such an amazing experience. I highly recommend it.

Champagne wishes and caviar dreams? (I think that's how it goes, but I don't quote Robin Leach very well...lol)


LOL, I was quoting an old country song
Probably as old as you are young

Ah...like the morning I left for LR I accidently carried the whole stack of post-it notes with me instead of just the one on top that I'd written on.

[Lillie]

all the lives lost on 9/11 ... all the lives changed on 9/11...

sitting on my living room floor in shock like the rest of the world...and looking at my 13 year old son and knowing at that very moment that at 18 he would be going to war because of the events of that day..wishing so very much he still wanted to be a ninja turtle instead of a US Marine..thinking today..how proud I am of my son because he decided to be a Marine instead of a ninja turtle...

just a feeling of heavy hearted unbelievable sadness to know that my generation will always remember where they were when they heard the terrible news of that day...and to all those americans and non americans effected by the choices of people on that day...

God bless those left behind..and god bless those who went ahead to prepare our way.....

God bless who still fight to keep my family and this country free...

Now I have a sudden urge to play bingo

Those people will never know what hit them when we enter

ok call me OCD, I own it.....My truck is dirty and I hate traveling in a dirty truck...It's suppose to rain and so I'd be PISSED if I spent 2 hrs on my truck just to have it rained on the same day. So I guess I'll just have a dirty truck.

I would play battleship with you anytime
In fact, I'd be grinning from ear to ear if you jumped up and shouted like a porn star

Are there battleship halls out there like bingo halls :|

BTW, do you know how hard it is to type and see my monitor when there's a cat sitting on my desk in front of it
I told Sophie I couldn't kick her off or Aunt Adele would kick me, too :|

Realizing once I get my Microbiology class down, how much it will help me in my Anatomy and Physiology class...Woohoo!

[JustLovelyJenn]

Today I am sad that I have so much less time for so many things this school year. With students back and teachers and staff getting organized, new programs starting and new responsibilities on board... I may only get to things like posts and emails.... on weekends.

I miss my extra free time, but, I am so excited about how this year is moving.

To all my friends here, I love you and miss you, be patient with me.

[Leigh]

On My mind is making decisions and how I'm just under three weeks until I should be starting T :D

[BullDog]

At the symphony today I talked to a very sweet older lady. I asked her if she had thought about seeing some concerts this year. She said "that sounds very nice but my husband passed away July 31. Not only was he my husband and best friend but he was my driver too. Maybe sometime if I see something I want to go to one of my boys will take me, but not right now."

I know these things are part of the circle of life and they must have had a great life together for her to say what she said and so sweetly, but it just about broke my heart.

[Massive]

Watching a BBC series called "The Incredible Human Journey" by Dr Alice Roberts and being reminded that, deep down, on a genetic level, we are all family. So, ultimately, when we kill someone for their religion, the colour of their skin, the way they choose to live, who they choose to sleep with, we are killing our own brothers and sisters, albeit distantly ...
What a sad world it is today that all we see are our differences, when we should all be celebrating the things that are the same, our Humanity.

[Soft*Silver]

today I couldnt remember if I took my medicine for that shift. I still felt safe and didnt think I Needed another dose but if I missed my dose, then it could come screaming back at me in an hour or so....and then I got upset with myself for not measuring it out and taking it by a swig. I can do that with almost anything but oxycodine. I realized I was setting myself up for a relapse if I didnt straighten it out NOW. So my measuring spoon is beside my bottle and my times are marked on a sheet next to the spoon. My roomie comes to tell me its time.

[Lynn]

It's almost 2am and I just finished talking to my mom. I've been out for 7 years, with my partner for 5, but I never talked to her directly about coming out. Twenty some years ago, when I first did so, heartbreak followed. I've been sitting on it for years, now. The situation was finally "right" and I just told her. She was totally fine and I am so relieved and happy. I showed her photos and my rings, told her all about Candy, and told her about our plans to have a ceremony. She said she'd be there. It was rather anti-climactic and also wonderful, I am not going to be able to sleep. Yay. :)

[RockOn]

I said something to someone I care a great deal about yesterday afternoon. I am certain it hurt her feelings and pissed her off.

I talked to the sponsor lady last night about it and she straightened me out in a big hurry. Woooooo ... ouch! Slam dunked with love! I needed to hear every single thing she said to me and she said a whole lot. At least I was willing to stand there and listen to her ... the old me would have thought or said "f*ck off" ... then I would have bolted. Today, running away is the easy way out.

I apologized to the woman I hurt but feeling sad about it this morning that I did that to her.

I came here this morning, trying to read funny things you people post here at the Planet in a seemingly futile attempt to pick myself up from feeling so bad ... but think I am only whistling in the dark.

I hate when open my mouth like that, say thoughtless things before I think.

Sometimes I think it would be better if I would go mute and only hang with my dogs ... but that would just be a subtle way of running so I cannot do it. Must face the music and try harder. I am a person with tons of room for improvement.

[femmedyke]

Honestly? I feel like I just need to go back to bed.

Lover and I frequently feed the squirrels in our apt. complex and this morning I noted that one of them had some extensive injuries on it's body. When I went back outside to see if I could get a closer look I noted four young boys about to throw rocks/acorns at it.

It might not be my place to school/scold the youngsters in my area, but with no one else doing it I find that I come across this role very quickly. I asked them what they were doing and was greeted with three of the four very shamefaced - but the one holding the rock was just rolling his eyes.

I don't know why this affects me so terribly, but it does. After trying my best to educate them as to why they shouldn't hurt a squirrel that is already injured I came inside and just wept.

If not even the kids of today are innocent anymore than how will our future ever have any goodness.

...meanwhile, I just spent 15 minutes on the phone with the dept. of transportation... about a deer that has been on our road for the better half of a week.

sigh.

[Venus007]

I am thinking that most people are reasonable, and good and that the media caters to the the loud mouth bigots simply because they are, well, loud.
I would like to believe that the majority of the every day people I run into in my life are live and let live kinda folks. This theory bears out in the people I meet and the students I teach but sometimes I forget because of the hate spewed by the media. I need to remain scrupulous in my choices to ignore the jerkfaces of the media and focus on the many many people I see every day. I think that this is the only way I can preserve myself from loosing hope for our future.

[bigbutchmistie]

Vacation over with. Starting back to work tomorrow :(

Its Fall time. And even though things will slow down at work its the time of the year for my bosses to be real asses.

Local News Crew was at my church today interviewing people over the Would Jesus Discriminate Billboards that are around DFW.

[Miss Scarlett]

Why did my hair turn out three shades lighter than my natural color and red instead of the nice deep brown (that matches my haircolor) as promised on the box?

Not the look I was trying for...

L'Oreal, you really let me down this time!

[Kenna]

I wish I could take a long walk under the moon light...I need to think and soak up some fresh air....
but after seeing a snake on my last walk at nearly sundown, I think I'll refrain.

I'm exhausted....

[Soft*Silver]

my good friend JoSchmooze sent me a beaitiful set of three nighties for my stay at the CC. In the CC I was getting lovely compliments about them and couldnt wait for them to get washed when I got home so I could wear them around the house too.

well tonight I read where they had hired Diane Von Furstenburg, to design gowns for the CC! I saw her first designs and i had worn one for my surgery! It was so much more comfortable!

Do you not have a street or a sidewalk you could stroll down?

I used to catch garden snakes when I was a kid, but these country snakes I don't touch
If I can't identify it as a simple garden snake, it's time to walk away

[Soft*Silver]

steak bloody rare so can lick the blood off the plate when I am done

rubbing lotion on my feet about 5 times a day each

wearing something that isnt button down the front

riding a horse

wondering what the scale is going to say next time I go to my surgeon's

remember those scales that spoke to you when you got on them? You dont run into them at garage sales and fleas. I think people got mad at them and took out their batteries. I wonder if thats considered abusive?

[cara]

The weekends over ALREADY? Boo!

Wondering if tomorrow will be as hot and friggin humid as today???????? I gotta finish mowing the lawn but I sure could use a nice breeze blowing when I do it tomorrow.

oh drat...I didnt mean the Diane gowns were so much more comfortable thant Jo's nighties....I meant Diane's gowns were more comfortable than regular johny gowns with the backs out. Jo didnt want me walking around with my butt cheeks smiling at everybody so he made sure I had decent nighties to wear...lol...

this is what happens when you post and are taking narcotic meds...

You tickle me, Wolfy!!
We have corn fields and soybean fields everywhere you look for MILES.... but not a single sidewalk. :( My city dog, Willy, is missing his daily side walk tour of the city trees and fire hydrants.
With the corn fields being harvested around these parts, we have to watch for 'country snakes' everywhere. So far this year, I've seen several harmless garden snakes...and a couple large poisonous country snakes. If I'm not freaking out at the snakes, I'm flipping out at the spiders.... especially the big hairy ones I've found lately and the Black Widows. Makes me not wanna go barefoot anymore.

LOL! The last place I lived was smack dab in the middle of grain fields... alternated yearly between corn and soy ( wheat was beforehand) and EVERY year for 16 years when the corn got cut... first came the onslaught of field mice to be quickly followed by the snakes chasing the mice! It was like a three week menagerie/ nightmare every year. Ya get used to it after a while, but I tell ya, I'm not sure my lady could have dealt with another year of the snakes...

Good luck! Your area has brown recluse also, so do be careful with the spideys!

I have found two VERY LARGE creepy spiders in my laundry!!! and one on the kitchen counter!! I screamed more with the spiders than I did with the snakes! And my housemate just laughs, chuckles and makes fun of me!! :annoyed: :annoyed: Finding those JURASSIC sized creepy legged things in my laundry has taught me NOT to let my dirty jeans land or lay on the floor.... and I ALWAYS shake out my clothes and shoes now!!

MONDAY AGAIN?

[girl_dee]

my seasonal work coming to a halt!

[JustLovelyJenn]

The crazy messed up rearranging of everyone's schedules at work right now. I can't wait until its all figured out.

[Scorp]

I'm catching the repeat of the 2010 VMA's that were on MTV last night, and:

I HATE Eminem....Yes, hate is a harsh word...I just can't stand him. He thinks so cool and he's an arrogant wanna be gansta....What a shit head...

[femmedyke]

I worked ICU this evening at the veterinary referral hospital that I work for and it was really rough. It's a very large, nice hospital and I've never covered the evening criticare reception position. I had six emergencies in two hours - ranging from a very sweet kitty hit by a car, a year old female golden retriever who had managed to undo all of her spay stitches to an a crazy (cute) little Yorkshire terrier with a cracked toe.

The cat, Bagheera, belonged to a young 14 year old girl. He was so amazing that after he got hit by the car he somehow found the strength to crawl into a gutter to hide - he also crawled out of that gutter to his owners repeated calls. It's times like these when I'm not sure why cats are so resilient. He was so far gone and treatment was going to consist of three surgeries and cost over $7,000, so they decided to euthanize. It really sucked to look at that young girls tear streaked face, being just as strong as she could be. So I'm sending my love out to little Bagheera.. and Rachel too. . . Meanwhile, I'm squeezing my own little babies tight. . . trying to find some kind of understanding in a shower of salty tears.

[RockOn]

Going through the hell part now of having opened my mouth and said something that hurt someone badly this past Saturday and I deserve every bit of it and much, much more. She is getting her anger out now and I am hanging with her. I am taking every bit of it because she deserves the opportunity to express how she feels about what I said. I will not run off and abandon her again. I am hanging with her to the end of this, wearing my big boy boxers and taking it like a big boy - regardless of what happens.

When I am insensitive as well as selfish and do not think about what I am saying ... there are consequences. I do not want to hurt her like this ever again.

Damn, as she has always said, I can really be a 2x4 butch. Oh, I wish I could erase what I said. Everything was going so good and smooth on Saturday, then I had to go and be a dickhead. :(

Big changes are in the making for me. It does not matter if she decides she will or will not want to speak to me again - I am determined to change this particular trait in me and by damn, I will!

I am just praying we can move past this incident. I do not want to lose her again. I cannot stand the thought of not being able to talk to her anymore. It makes me so sad to think of that.

Will this ever blow over? Last Saturday afternoon seems like an eternity ago. I am stressed to the max. Oh well, too bad - it is all my fault. This one is entirely on me.

I love her.

Happy Day to all you Planet people!

Starting to feel a little defeated on the job hunt
More applications and still no responses
Beginning to believe the older you get the harder it is to get work
Does experience not account for anything anymore these days

However, I will continue to keep the faith and pray because that's all I can do
