What made you smile today?

A day out with Mum. Between Mum, Cailin and Her Furriness I retain my dubious sanity!

Come on now...you know what I'm going to say.... yep. you guessed it....(she). She makes me smile everyday.
The above beloved snoopy illustration pretty much explains how she makes me feel inside and out - every day....(and) yes - even snoopy is a better dancer than me... but...he is after all snoopy - and he can do pretty much anything - right?! :) - me? I think I will probably have to take a class...:) ;) lol!

[Daktari]

Friends of Bill

[sis]

Just thinking about a conversation I had with a friend ..... yeah, but it was more of a giggle than a smile. lol Our lives are similar, we enjoy a lot of the same things, we're there for each other. We worked on a major editing project together, have shared some of our deepest vulnerabilities, celebrated and consoled each other. We live hundreds of miles apart, have never met in person, have promised to visit each other. There is nothing better than a BFF - best femme friend!

From an IM with a co worker in Canada....

Me: Happy First Day of Spring!
Her: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[JAGG]

My sweet niece calling because she had a bad dream about me. :) She just had to know I was ok. Haha. I love that ornery little girl. Even though she informed me she dreamt I was shot and killed in WWII. WHAT THE....... ? 1942? How old does she think I am ? Crap !:blink:

[Bèsame*]

Smiling...first day of spring, first day my parents became one! 54 years of love. (Well hard love at times) I remember this day because of the story I used to tell..telling my mom, I remember the day you got married. She says no, you weren't there. Yes I was! She says no, you just have studied my wedding pictures to much! Ooooooh, that's right!

Oh the fantasies of a young girl..... Weddings..... :)

[jac]

Two boys at lunch...

boy 1: (talking to me) did you make the potato salads?
boy 2: of course. from scratch right?
me: yes from scratch.
boy 1: but there's two different kinds.
boy 2: that's how those southern moms roll.

I'm so gonna miss that boy when he ages out. till then he keeps me smiling! :)

Is she a Dr Who fan, by any chance? Maybe she doesn't think you're old, you're just most likely to run off with a madman in a blue box...

Lmao. She knows I wouldn't run away with a man no matter what. Now a hawt femme in a blue box or blue sundress is very likely.

[Ascot]

The fact that even here, far up in the left corner, Spring has sprung. Daffodils lazily bobbing their sunshiny heads, buds beginning to burst on trees, and girls about in clothing that doesn't make them look like lumber jacks.

My work colleagues and one of the guys I support.....how hard my job can be he always make me smile and that is price-less....:)

SNIP girls about in clothing that doesn't make them look like lumber jacks.

I would just like to say.... Clothes do not any person alone make!

[TheMerryFairy]

A half day of work and floating in my thoughts while I relax.

[Gentle Tiger]

The fact that even here, far up in the left corner, Spring has sprung. Daffodils lazily bobbing their sunshiny heads, buds beginning to burst on trees, and girls about in clothing that doesn't make them look like lumber jacks.

AscotButch - I am addressing this post here in the hopes that no one else will be foolish enough to make a sexist comment like the one you just made.

"and girls about in clothing that doesn't make them look like lumber jacks"

Really? This sounds like something that would be said by sexist men drooling and making inappropriate, objectifying remarks as women walk by them. And this will NOT be tolerated here. Is there something wrong with women who are lumber jacks or who choose to wear a certain style of clothing? Is a woman's beauty now defined by what she wears? And the fact that she wears less clothing because the weather is nice - does that make her fair game for comments like this? Is she simply body parts that you or anyone else gets stare at? Not here Ascot! Not here!

A reminder - this is a woman positive community/site. And comments that objectify, reduce, or anything else that is negative will be called out and addressed. Period. Dot. End of story.

A funny message and my smart alec reply. That is what made me smile. Haahaa!!

[jac]

What made me smile....

I promised Spritz I would have my bp checked sometime today. The nurse practitioner came in to volunteer her services for an hour or so like she does every Thursday. I asked her if she could check my bp.

Before starting meds I was reading about 147/80 something. Today, with meds, it read 120/79... yeh. :)

[Ginger]

A lady at the gym made me smile, when she encouraged another lady to put more weight on the hip adductor machine.

I think that's what you call the one where you sit and push out with your knees. She was only doing like 30 pounds. I do 130, and the lady who was encouraging her does 70.

It sort of set off this energy where all the women started noticing and commenting on each other's workout.

I helped this older woman use one of the ab benches, and someone gave me some tips on, I don't know what it's called, but a machine where you stand on your knees and twist your body; I'd always thought I'd hurt my lower back on it, but she encouraged me to try it with less weight. She said I wasn't getting, shit I forget what you call them, the muscles on the side of your torso.

The night before, I had to smile when a giant guy got off one of the upper body machines, and he sweating like a parody of a person sweating, it was so excessive.

He really wiped down the machine when he was done, used the spritzer on every surface. I thanked him for cleaning up so well and remarked that it was impressive that he pressed 270. I only press 70. He was super low-key about it but I could tell he was really proud when he said he could only do ten reps, but he started with two. I said that was great, that I started with 30 (pounds, not reps) but now I'm up to 70. He said that was great, too.

All of this gym talk makes me smile.

My gorgeous 'almost' daughter sent me a sneak preview of their engagement photos and omgosh, they are just beautiful. My face hurts from smiling so much! Oh and a text from her too earlier calling me "Mom" ... be still my heart.

[maryam]

Today was not super smiley in general but one nice, smiley thing happened. A very nice Butch flirted with me in line at the coffee place at the mall. I have a terminal case of femme invisibility so I don't always trip the gaydar. And when I do, I'm CLUELESS when it comes to the flirting thing. It was nice that someone noticed.

[grenade]

Taking the dogs for a ride and walk through the county park. Buying new mattresses. (star made me be good and inform the man he only charged me for a queen size) Laying on my new mattress now as I type. :) Our rock star/mustache party, complete with smores.

Fixing and eating dinner together via video chat. I would have NEVER considered it, but a dear friend who now lives in Australia with his husband after over a year-long LDR suggested it, and it was a delightful experience!!

Going to an orphanage this afternoon and seeing the happiness of the Director's face when I offered to do some English tuition with the kids.

[Lazy Daze]

The biggest of the furkids practically pulled me out of bed so that she could hop up and sleep with her daddy.

The other two furkids greeting me when I came out of the shower, and then following me back and forth in the house before finally walking me to the door. They always give the greatest most loving send offs :)

Knowing that its Friday and I get the whole weekend with Him

One week from tomorrow, our Very large furkid will be on the trailer and on his way to live with us! I am so excited I can barely sit still! :)

[BowtiePrincess]

A good morning message, so sweet!

[TheMerryFairy]

Waking up and partially remembering a dream - still smiling. It was simple and innocent but it was comforting. The energy reminded me that I am making the best decisions for me and I believe I am on the right track to live the way I have wanted to for awhile now.

The wonderful friends/members here...good people.

[s0litude]

Made a new friend today. Intriguing. I enjoy meeting people with gentle natures-- and great wits. I'm wondering if her name here conveys a love of birds-- or a "warning" *wink*. I've enjoyed her messages and am looking forward to corresponding with her more.

Really great coffee-- Not black as I can't really stomach it bitter. All that acid is killer on the digestive tract! Besides,... I like my coffee strong, sweet, and creamy... "Just like I like my [femmes]". LOL! *Ten points if you get the (sorta kinda) movie reference from the 80's. One hint: Leslie Nielsen*

Snow. It's beautiful. And it jacks up my plans and errands for the day COMPLETELY as my left windshield wiper is acting up. But on a good note, it gives me the excuse to change back INTO pajamas after my shower this morning and enjoy-- Oh, oh, PLEASE let me enjoy-- a stress-free day.

Side Note Funny: Driving a few days ago in the rain and snow as we were already out and about running errands... I already have limited visibility, a temperamental windshield wiper, and I am not sure where the building is though I know the general area... trying to find the Center for the Hearing and Visually Impaired. I was taking my friend / one of my roommates there; she has horrible vision, is nearly fully blind. (No wonder she always flirts with me-- she can't really see what I look like). And while I see well enough to drive at this point, the entire excursion is a "Comedy of Errors"-- but still. I look over at her as I am trying to focus on a sign that I THINK directs us to the right building, and then, the whole situation hits me: I start laughing, grin over at her before asking, "Is it just me, or are you enjoying the irony in this too?"

I learned that my female friend (she is pansexual) has church associates with "concerns" about her having two men as roommates. They don't know I am FTM although they told her: "While Nicholas genuinely seems like a really good-hearted young man, and we're not really worried that he'd do anything inappropriate, Bill is... well.... It just doesn't 'look right', your having two men as roommates." I had to laugh because SHE is the one constantly making advances towards us. She has no issue with casual sex. I don't DO casual sex-- I'm only sexually/physically intimate with a woman when she and I are dating and considering that there is a possibility in the future for more to develop. I'm picky as hell about who I'll share myself with in that manner. In fact, I told a friend in chat about it, that I have had to sit down and have "the talk" with her twice this week: that while she is really sweet, I am JUST her friend and do not see her that way, that I have no desire or intent to have a romantic or sexual relationship with her... etc. etc. Yes, it has gotten to the point where I've had to go from tactful to blunt.

But her "living with two men" is the concern? LMAO! Sorry.... The irony is just amusing me to no end today!

So now,...

Mas café por favor.... *Heads back to the kitchen for a refill before getting his shower and attempting to awaken completely*

[Kenna]

today's message for Capricorns...
When you catch a glimpse of your potential future, don't fret. Just embrace it. Your specialty is taking care of others, and more often than not, you do it at your own expense. Well, prepare yourself to make a decision that may actually take your own needs into account, just this once -- and as soon as this evening. Startling news (and how!) that comes along now via a family member or an old, dear friend will convince you that it's time to make your move -- but still, make sure you do it your own pace.

My oldest nephew in the background who is near driving age said " uncle Blake , did the Easter bunny leave you money to give me " ? Haha

My oldest daughter came to visit me today. I must admit I am very happy that she is allowing herself time to heal and move forward from her marriage. She is getting in touch with her roots once again and growing stronger for herself and her children. Another guy tried to come in and sweep her off her feet already and she threw him to the curb when he raised his voice at her children and copped an attitude with her. I am glad to see she is setting healthy boundaries. She definitely needed it after the last jerk she had in her life. She told me today she is almost 30 and asked if I could believe it. I told her to stop making me feel old. Haahaa!! Yep! She's my girl and i love her to death. Hard to believe it has been so many years since she sat on my lap babbling to me. Daddy's little girl has become quite the woman and she does indeed make me smile.

Waking up after a peaceful sleep, a quick and delicious breakfast, hilarious conversations with my boss about his weekend, letting the creative energy flow at work, free lunch and floating in daydreams on my breaks.

I also couldn't help but smile when I saw a txt to ask how my day was going.

Hearing that I may be switching to a 7 on 7 off schedule. No more worrying about vacation time when I want to get away. Of course, I may need to sleep on my first day off to recuperate from having just worked 7 long hour shifts in a row. …still more than ok with it. :)

[justanolecowboy]

Love. Love makes me smile. Life. Life makes me smile. So much to live and love for - I wonder why so many - waste so much time... just open your heart and love ... it really is that simple ... (for the most part anyway)...

_____I don't write much these days ... but wanted to take a few moments today - as the sun beams through my windows (finally) and that burst of spring comes through - and the cold of winter - melts away ... I hear the birds chirping...the dogs bounding about outside...and ... well... life is good ... I have been richly blessed - and I am grateful - each and every day...for those blessings of life (and) yes - (for love) ...

I rare day off finds me puttering about - and doing a bit of channel surfing...and (the) Notebook is on... I don't recall ever seeing (all) of that movie all the way through... and we all know why I have an interest in the romances - but...well...it was just a good movie...gotta hand it to that Nicolas Sparks fellow ... he certainly has a talent - and most likely a wonderful inspiration...

But as the movie finishes and I'm left with that (fuzzy warm feeling) that romances are suppose to leave you with ... and you think - wow - now that was a great romance...

There are several I can name - right of the top of my head ... we all know the ones...you don't need me to name them...

However - even as I think about them - and the images run through my head briefly - or all the beloved words of all the poets...now - before - and all those that might be ... all the beautiful words - all the songs - all the melodies - if you combine all of the most romantic moments you can ever think of - from the past - present - and even those that are surely to come... and you think ... (wow) ... now that is a great story - or (wow) ... that's a great love ... or (wow) ... listen to that song ... that's exactly how I feel...if you put them all together ... none of them ... no one single one story - movie - word - poem - song - comes even halfway close to the (love) I feel and the joy I feel (yes) - because of (her).

So - I'm thinking --- if you love someone - (that) way... (and) if you do love someone - to my way of thinking you (should) love them that way ... don't waste any time ... tell them ... show them... each and every day... don't waste another minute...make your own love story... truly show them - they are the love of your life...

[TheMerryFairy]

A great day at work, daydreams and more business ideas. Oh and let's not forget stopping for a coffee milkshake.

Mum has been stuck in a bit of a ruck lately, sitting at the beach today, talking about how much she loves sewing we discussed how she could start designing and making clothes in pvc, leather, velvet, etc for the more voluptuous figure, made to order, mentioned it on FB and I got an instant response from friends, now Mum is energised, fired up, smiling and set to do research into designs, fabrics and fashions. It has made her day, she's been sitting at home, miserable, unable to work out what to do, now she has a goal.
Seeing her so happy? Priceless. Any day that leaves her feeling this good is fantastic in my book.
Today has been a winner!
Now to do some research to help her some more.

A funny conversation with a good friend, who always makes me crack up.

[MysticOceansFL]

Many things

[s0litude]

I went to a lifestyle event this evening (a "munch"-- casual atmosphere-- drinks, food, conversation-- a public venue where we won't scare the vanillas) and had a lot of fun talking to people, catching up with some friends that I haven't seen in a few weeks. I'm definitely the "hugging" type, very comfortable with people hugging me, so it was nice seeing old friends and making new ones-- and getting hit on by a few people, one of which kept forgetting my name (there were lots of people, and I am horrible with names with that many people around too), so she kept calling me "Blue Eyes" all evening. She asked me out this weekend, but 1- I'm not ready, and 2- I'm not looking for a poly relationship, and she's polyamorous.

But it WAS very flattering and made me grin and blush like a complete idiot.

[Massive]

Another day out with Mum.
So blessed to have her, happy knowing I've finally found a way to help her.
Can't help smiling at the antics of Her Furriness with her morning appreciation of the sparrows nesting above the bedroom window, very happy kitty.
Things are starting to get slowly better, tempting fate? Fuck it, life's too short to let it pass me by and it's up to the living to keep the memory of those lost alive, I can honour him by doing what he did; getting the best out of everything.

While at the nail salon today there were two different women each being kept company [one w/ a pedicure the other w/ a nail fill] by their big burly rough kinda looking boyfriends/husbands. LoL Those men just seemed so out of place in such a delicate pampering space yet they were both very comfortable and content just being with their girls. I loved watching both couples.

My nephew making "pudding" in my kitchen then claiming that the cat was the one who did it -only when it didn't turn out. The cat used the whole litre of milk because it likes milk so much to make 1 packet of pudding (half of which is on the floor still in powder form) and even used the "whiskers" LMAO

I need to get milk and to start locking the door in the daytime too so I don't get random kitchen pudding wars.

[DJ Bear]

I have a flock of hens, at least until next week. Anyway there is no rooster. So 3 of my hens are very amorous and when I walked out the front door just now there were those 3 amorous hens on top of 3 other hens that seemed to be enjoying it.

What made me laugh was that they were all in a row and when I looked at them the oldest hen look up at me and then went back to what she was doing.

Woo-hoo, more Easter eggs! (I have Araucana hens and they lay eggs in numerous shades of green)

A lovely pm from a Lovely Lady. :winky:

Met one of my neighbours, Cerise (no "h"), and her Corgie, Jake, that she shares custody of with her ex-girlfriend. We talked about her work and about Gay Pride coming up soon in Salt Lake City, and I've never had time in my work schedule to go. This year, I am going: http://utahpridefestival.org/

Coffee always makes me smile.

Daydreaming and falling asleep in a hot bath for over an hour.

My roommate who has been "making passes at me several times a week" finally seeming to accept that I am not interested, and saying, "you're like a brother; I can change in front of you" as she borrowed one of my t-shirts.

[s0litude]

A long conversation with a friend... And that same friend texting me two hours later because there was thunder and lightening, and with her being frightened by thunderstorms, she wanted to be comforted. I called her and talked to her until my cell phone battery died. I love long conversations, when someone really knows how to keep a conversation going.

Coffee, the elixir of the Gods!

That I'm functional-- and a bit loopy-- after merely four hours of sleep... and the fact that there are so few errands and chores to do today that there will likely be time for a nap later. Remember when you were little bitty, and putting you down for a nap was hell because you'd grumble and fight naptime? And now as adults, we sometimes WISH someone would demand we take a nap each day.

Further plans with a friend for us both to dye our hair-- he and I are colouring our hair "Blue Envy"

News that I may be able to go hang out with another friend I haven't seen in a while sometime next week

One more day with a friend as her move to Texas was bumped back a day

Taking myself for breakfast, giving easter goodies to my friends, receiving unexpected goodies, being invited to dinner by my boss - getting to spend time with his beautiful family, wine, laughs, conversation, kids faces lighting up while they tell me about what the easter bunny brought, leftovers..

Positive energy and the power of never giving up. A good friend is feeling amazing today and knowing that makes me flutter.

Today was a day full of smiles inspite of the empty spot in my heart!

[deb0670]

i made ham, potato salad, deviled eggs, Italian styled veggies, green beans that were sauteed with garlic and onion in a lil olive oil and rolls. I packaged them all up and put them in a box with some paper plates, napkins, and silverware then my daughter and i took all of it to the rehab place. We invited Ethan's friend Charles to dine with us, and we all had Easter dinner crammed in his room. This was the first time Ethan got to taste my ham( he usually cooks a ham when necessary), and he loved it. Charles kept raving over it and said it was the best ham he ever had. He also loved my deviled eggs. Charles kept thanking me over and over again.
It made me smile seeing how happy he was, and how much Ethan enjoyed my cooking.
It made me smile that i was able to do this, and that we were able to enjoy and celebrate Easter together, despite our circumstances.

[deb0670]

Oh.. and.. earlier today my son came over and hid Easter eggs for my youngest daughter to find .
It was pretty special.. even if she is 16, she still likes to be a kid at heart..
and that makes me smile.

Glad he liked it, because he is going Monday and Wednesdays for the next few months :)
