4. There are two kinds of cranky with me - the 'aww, that's kind of cute, out of sorts cranky' and the 'I'll bite the head off of a bat kind of cranky'. If you had to experience one of the two I'd choose the former.

I still count this as the most significant event in my life.

2) I snuck into the Vatican.

When I was 18 I was visiting a friend who lived in Naples Italy and we took a three hour train down to Rome. When we arrived at the Vatican we were told you couldn't go in wearing shorts. So we waited till a guard was distracted and snuck in. We only got to look at the Pieta before we were escorted out.

I had done research. I had pamphlets. I had been on many many retreats. I did a year of volunteer service after college with a Catholic organization. But it wasn't for me.

5. I'm contemplating and researching the possibilities of applying for dual citizenship with either Sweden or Italy. When one has direct descendents, I've heard that this is possible. And, I find that as I grow older, I like the thought of living and working abroad.

I have a mantra and follow it: Do more of what makes you happy.
I like doing things that exhaust me physically but not emotionally.
I love the smell of new babies.
I love summer because I get to wear very little clothes.

[Kätzchen]

1) I tell myself that I'm resilent and will overcome whatever obstacles may come my way because in reality, obstacles are not a part of my vocabulary: It's just takes me a while to covertly subvert obstacles and make them into something that is taste-worthy.

2) I have enjoyed not working so hard lately but in 48 hours, I'm going to work a 14 day stretch; then catch my breath and work another stretch of time; then next month, on a certain weekend, party like a Goddess. :)

3) My mom celebrates her birthday on Sunday (she's going to be 74). She's also been waayyyyyy toooooooo quiet. My 'radar' is uber-sensitive lately. :|

4) I've gotten smarter with pinging certain posts on fb: I ping the posts that send a loud clear message that I'm intolerant of racist, over-the-top biased social behaviors and it's paying off: cousins and certain other friends & family members have 'vanished' and are getting the message loud and clear.

5) EVen though life has been uber stressful since my birthday, I've been feeling rather playful lately.

[Soft*Silver]

`1) I am a procrastinator. To a fault. I use to have to live by deadlines and day planners. My schedule was so tight I rarely got home before dark and almost always left before daylight. Now, I fight to make sure that doesnt re-occur consciously but also, in a very passive aggressive unconscious way. I find myself missing appts. I forget meetings. I drag my feet on things that have a time schedule.

2) I hate hate hate talking on the phone. Its gotten much worse the past couple years. I think this comes from believing you could get to know someone and have a relationship with them if you spent enough time with them online and on the phone. (I learned this is SO not true) And also because there was a time when every phone call was a crisis, from my former line of work. It really doesnt matter how it started. What does matter is that there are dear friends I havent spoken to for almost a year because I cant stand to be on the phone. New friends know I have about ten minutes max before I start to get anxious. If you dont pick up my cues, or my direct request to get off by 30, there is a good chance I simply wont pick up the phone again when you call.

3) my fav purse designer is Dooney & Bourke. I would so die for one of their pink ones!

4) I religiously watch reruns of the 70s show and then Criminal Minds every night

5) I dont cry anymore I use to cry alot. I had alot to cry about. And that made me sensitive to things that would also move me to tears. I realized the other nite, that I hadnt cried much at all this year and when I did, it was over physical pain, not emotional pain.

to bed just to make sure there is nothing lingering around before I snooze off. It's become an obsession.

2) I thank my lucky stars that I understand a plethora of logic utilized in the game of Chess and subversively apply that particular logic to most areas of my life.

3) I do not relish experiencing job and income insecurity.

4) I am developing a finer appreciation for the moments of free time in my life.

5) I have loved living in my home town for nearly 20+ years now, but lately I am tempted to move. I have no idea if this is an fleeting temptation or if I should act on this particular temptation. It might only mean I should listen to The Temptations or the elements of Earth, Wind & Fire - but it's a real temptation, the temptation to move (relocate).

3. I have HUGE feet... a size 11 in women... someone told me I had tug boats.

Scots_On_The_Rocks 1. Wil Wheaton is my cousin (no joke)

Oh my gosh thats so cool. Ask him to do cards against humanity on table top- pretty supercalifragilistic please!

[ONLY]

1- When I cook I need to have all the cooking implements (measuring cups, spoons, bowls etc) ready with all the ingredients out.

2- When I cook I need to clean up as I do (that is including washing dishes)

3- I tend to update my bankbook at least 2 a week sometimes more (depending if I am near a bank machine and I pay my bills at the ATM also....YES I am probably the rare few who do this lol )

4- I have an amazing respectful son.

5- My girl (f) and I are working towards immigration. We are hoping to start the paper work within the next month or so :) She is American and I am Canadian. The plan is for her to move here with my son & I.

PS If anyone has gone through this (American immigrating to Canada), if you are willing to, maybe you could message me and let me know how the process was for you :) Thank you.

[tapu]

1. I'm very compassionate. I come off here as being precise and exacting, but with a lover, friend, child, or service person, I am as patient and understanding as the day is long.

2. I don't place a lot of value in bodily form or integrity. I can be attracted to the right person regardless of her size or shape, and regardless of disability or affectation. I find all forms potentially lovable--depending on the personality of the person inside there.

3. While I come off here as very intelligent--I am--but I can also be disarmingly stupid about things. That's why those with complementary intelligences meld well with me. I'm dumb about so many of the more femme/subjectives things and I suffer from that.

4. I'm open to exploring friendships/relationships from anywhere. Though I am ensconced in Maine, with a son here and a full life, I am adventurous and long for more travel beyond the extensive moves and journeys I have done.

5. Probably my number one personal trait is that I'm comfortingly and frighteningly forward about what what I think and feel. You never have to wonder about me, "Man, what's that tapu thinking?" I'll fucking tell ya.

It's all so individual.. can be easy peasy or a 5 year long pointless quagmire. Canadians and Americans seem interchangeable but we are not , on many levels, and that border can make a 20 foot difference into a thousand miles.

[ksrainbow]

1. My college expenses where paid for in part via tennis scholarships. (with part time jobs filling in the void).

2. My education in college was with aspirations of being a National Park Ranger (life member of the GSA was my inspiration) until the first female Kansas park ranger was murdered 30 miles away from me.

3. I am not PC and sometimes it has caused my personal and professional biting of my tongue more times than I would prefer.

4. My son is my most important gift that I was and am able to give to all who know and share his presence.

5. I am not as good of a listener as I should be. I am deaf in my left ear

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

1 My best personal trait is my ability to get along and communicate with anyone. No matter their background, education level, handicap, age gender ...
you get the picture.

2 Helping people if only by listening is my biggest joy.

3 I grew up believing that I should be or end up in a better place then my parents were financially. I am better off in a lot of ways and more importantly I consider myself a better person.

4 Although I was never lucky enough to have children I think that the type of patent you are says a lot about you as a person. Which is why I do not have anything to do with most of my bio-family. After all kids and animals are the best judge of someone character.

5 I am the worse speller in the world to the point that it embarrasses me. No matter what I have done there ate just words that I can not spell and I am ok with this most times. However it has stopped me from going into chat and I dislike being corrected publicly. I am however very grateful for the Google browser since it has spell check :)

[willow]

I dislike loud chatter and music, most of the time. I play music fairly low. Except when I don't.

I moan all the time about the rain which is unfortunate when I live in a place where it rains more than it doesn't. It isn't the rain that really bothers me though it's wet hair. If my hair didn't get wet I wouldn't care about the rain. My scalp feels itchy and dirty when my hair is wet even when wet from washing and I can't stand it! Don't much care for fluffy hair either but that isn't as annoying as the itchy scalp.

I have no internal thermometer, never have. Regardless of the weather, I am continually adding and removing layers throughout the day to compensate.

I need my kitchen cupboards, fridge and freezer well organised and tidy. I seal bags and boxes with sticky tape, elastic bands or pegs depending on what's in there. Do NOT just randomly through stuff in there. Newest to the back please. I do not do cupboard avalanches. Anything hitting my head, work surface or floor because it wasn't put away properly, can go straight in the bin!

If you don't want an honest answer, don't ask the question.

1 I do not like nuts of any kind

2 I like to receive flowers mainly bcs I rarely get them being a guy

3 Although I put on the front of being a hard ass 24/7 I do have a soft side I am very comfortable with and share with those that know me the best.

4 I have a code that I live by that no one has to understand or approve of but is at the center of who I am.

5 with all the different hats I wear the two biggest honors someone can give me is to call me their friend and to call me Daddy both of which I believe in earning and once I have I continue to do so for as long as I know the individual

[Kätzchen]

1) *surprise, surprise* I have health insurance now but I'm not so sure I will find the kind of service providers I would like to have. I'm not sure what to do about it, yet.

2) I give up, when it comes to my vision: My last glasses worked for a few months and now I can't see anything at all with them on. I fear that I am better off being half-blind, but I will find another eye doctor (soon).

3) I want to go swimming but it's not that time of year yet.

4) I know I need to prepare my taxes but I am putting it off for just a little bit longer.

My second favorite movie is The Contender
Been there and did it all for years; now, no one...man or woman...is allowed to touch me or come within three feet of me, physically...ever.
Extremely resilient
I have been through experiences that are rare—almost unheard of— and I have many secrets
I am kind and generous, but I am a loner with the exception of a select few.

[Words]

1. My dream 'pet' would be a (rescue) marmoset or other kind of monkey.

2. I can be pretty morbid. Memento mori, autopsy photographs, anything do with death/dying, that's the kind of thing I look for on YouTube when I'm looking to relax a bit (I was the kid who snuck out of school to eat her packed lunch in the cemetery opposite so this isn't exactly something new).

3. I recently had a mini facelift and my upper and lower lids done after years of saying I would ''never, ever'' have cosmetic surgery. I originally justified the eyelid surgery by saying that it was necessary in order to improve my eyesight, which it did (I have peripheral vision loss due to glaucoma/other eye issues). I'm now planning a tummy tuck for the autumn and won't be justifying it to anyone. (Go me!)

4. I love (and miss) disco.

5. I don't cook. Ever. I have a butch who loves to cook and I am more than happy for Him to do so.

I've read your post and I want you to know that I am empathetic. I cannot imagine the hardship. I care about that...I don't know you and I'm helpless in lending a hand—first hand. But I want you to know, I am supportive and I am going to do something quietly and privately to help you in a way you're not aware of.

If there are positive changes in your life, please let us know. And know, that I am thinking of you and concerned for your welfare.

[imperfect_cupcake]

I'm shy in some things. I won't make the first move when I'm out with someone. I just can't. I haven't had to for the past decade so getting back into the Vancouver thing where butches don't make first moves (? Or something?) I have sat parked in a car outside my house for up to an hour talking, feeling really confused because aren't they supposed to at the very fucking least try to kiss me here? Isn't that the whole point of sitting in a parked car outside my house? And waiting.... And waiting.... And nothing.... Dum de dum.... Ok this is agonizing for me now, I don't understand why we are sitting here, I'm going to go. And I leave feeling horribly disappointed. Then confused as to why they are calling and asking me out again if they don't want to kiss/shag me. It's obviously not for hanging out, they are asking me on date things. But they don't try to kiss me and they don't ask to stay over or put their hand on my leg or....???

So if that happens twice, I turn down the third date. It seems that it's a pointless exercise in awkward and growing confusion. I've had one take me on six dates and nothing happened. Why? Why would I keep going? I have no idea what that person wanted from me. I don't understand. I finally stopped going and finally stopped responding to messages.

So, I can't make first moves. At all. I can ask someone to go hang out for a beer. But I can't make the first physical moves. Apparently this is a hideous handicap now. Wasn't before, now is.

I have magical hands.

[Hey You]

I strongly dislike rain, and in fact I have trouble falling asleep if it's raining because the noise is distracting. I have been working on not actively hating it, until recently it affected me negatively emotionally.

I freeze at 20 degrees celcius. Hate the cold.

Despite identifying as a butch, I'm very shy and rarely make the first move.

I don't own or particularly want any kind of video games or video game players, apart from a couple of board games on my phone.

[starryeyes]

1. I am fiercely independent. I live alone, pay my own bills and have a successful career that I love and look forward to doing everyday, even when I get a little cranky about my long hours. It's always worth it, and I can sleep when I'm dead.

2. I have climbed the pyramids in Egypt but I was too scared to go inside. I regret it!

3. I have a grateful dead tattoo on my leg, and I dated a girl with the exact same tattoo on her leg too which was weird. We still are friends :)

4. My father is gay, but we are not close (or even speaking) unfortunately. I wish it would be different but boundaries are important.

5. I am a fraternal twin, and we are complete opposites in every way.

[nekohl]

1. I always wanted to have an afro but have super straight hair instead.

2. I'm not a fan of using burlap as decoration.

3. I love doing secret little surprises for friends, coworkers and family. Like, a chocolate left in a purse when someone is having a bad day. Or doing something unexpected to help them knock something off their to do list. Making people in bad moods crack a smile is one of my favorite things.

I'm a twin... no she's not Butch! I get asked that a lot. We are fraternal.

I like to watch old black/white musicals. Haven't done this in awhile but should get back into it.

If I love you or care about you, you will know it... whether friend, lover, or partner. I try to express that often and in different ways.

Math is my favorite subject. lol

My parents were divorced when I was six months old. My "father" and I use that term lightly, hasn't been in my life at all, which is okay. The only thing I thank him for is my looks as I am the spitting image of him.

[SirenManda]

Lets see.

1. If my food touches, I will not eat it.

2. I am alpha female in my professional life, submissive in my personal.

2. I'm a social butterfly

5. I ALWAYS wear a hat

[Kätzchen]

I love the color of orange: My mom used to have a Satin blouse in a dark shade of orange and I'd find a million reasons to borrow her blouse.

I don't really care for famous brand cologne or perfumes. I like the natural scents of natural oils from flowering plants that one might find in a private scent collection made by independent producers of such finery.

I gave up hating the haters who hate me. Instead, I find reasons to punish them with loving, random acts of kindness. I feel better lately, having discovered that I could do such a thing.

I find reasons to wear my favorite pair of flip flops, even in bad weather.

I threw all my bras away before I found out how expensive bras are, nowadays.
I really need a few new bras and wish I hadn't thrown out my well-worn bras.

2. When I get really happy, I wiggle in my seat. A lot.

3. I am both obsessive and quite proud of my breasts.

4. My birth mark is on my upper right arm but over the years my arms have tanned and freckled so much that you can't see it anymore.

5. I had braces throughout high school and had them photoshopped out of my senior picture. It was then we realized my top two teeth were off center, and they were unable to shift them back. So, when I smile straight on, they're slightly off to the side. This still kind of bugs me.

2. I will do anything for those I love

4. I don't want to put the twinkling lights away.


Last year, I didn't. I just moved the tree, still completely decorated, out of the way. It sure made pulling it out again for the holidays super easy.

3. I ate too much of a sweet potato casserole at Christmas and now my stomach twitches at the thought of another bite of it.

4. I subscribe to a snack club. Every month, they send me a box of random goodies. I've found that I really like pear and praline together.

3) I would rather poke my own eyes out than touch steel wool. *shudders*

[Gráinne]

5) I have a container problem. Cute boxes, jars, baskets, etc. get me every time.

I like to research missing persons cases in my free time.

If I nap longer than 15-20 minutes, I wake up discombobulated and in a very unpleasant mood. Beware.

Generally, I have a pretty good judge of character after meeting someone in person for the first time.

I’m not too fond of the dark. Well…I’m scared of it.

I used to be a decent fast-pitch softball pitcher. I miss playing and dream about it quite often.

I'm a reluctant atheist. I wish I could believe in a god. However, logic dictates against the existence of god. Still, I liked Kilgore Trout's response in Breakfast of Champions to the query he found written on a bathroom wall “What is the purpose of life?” He wrote “to be the eyes, ears and conscience of the creator of the universe.” I just have to remind myself that neither a god nor a belief in a god is required to adhere to the spirit of that statement.

I'm someone who easily holds two (or more) contradictory or conflicting opinions. I seem to suffer no ill effects from this, no cognitive dissonance or stress. However being able to see many sides of an issue or problem allows for me to understand it from the perspective of another. This causes me to feel empathy for the other and her position. Which can upon occasion allow me to vacillate This sometimes leaves me feeling like I lack conviction. I believe I come across as wishy washy. Nothing feels set in stone for me. There are few constants. Over the years I have thought that perhaps I simply lack the courage of my convictions. But I think in order to have courage of conviction one needs to be convinced. And unfortunately I am rarely finished with a thought or a belief. I am always willing to examine it again and allow for a different conclusion. I don't feel good about this trait. It leaves me feeling indecisive and weak. Sometimes I wish I could be like those people who are so sure they are right and that their convictions are synonymous with truth. In some cases they are not even persuaded from what they believe by facts. There is a certain seduction in that kind of certainty. I think there must be comfort in being so sure of oneself.

I am too willing to hold up a proverbial mirror in the belief that people want to see themselves and like to look in it as much as I do.

I am too quick to forgive. I know I'm no saint so I doubt I'm just being nice. It makes me wonder if I have actually allowed myself to work through my anger before letting it go.

I talk too much about stuff nobody is interested in talking about. I know it's not that they don't want or like to talk because I hear them talking all the time. It's just something about my idea of conversation that is off putting. I see it in their eyes when I try engage them in chit chat. Their eyes say “chit chat, you keep using that word, it does not mean what you think it means.”

Bonus: I use waaaay too many words to say stuff. Upon further reflection I doubt this is something anyone who ever read one of my posts doesn't already know so nevermind.

I have missed you MT!

Love your brain and how it works!

Say hi to the wife for me:)

I missed you too! I surely did.

And Truly says hey right back at ya!

[A. Spectre]

* 50% of my posts here on B/f Planet are written from hotel rooms. (like now, for instance)

* love, love, love our senior citizens, they have so much to offer with their life experiences.

*was one of those goofy kids whose tongue was stuck to the monkey bars on the playground on a cold day. in all fairness i was young, barely 19. haha j/k

*must always stay on the top floor of hotels, buildings, motels, houses etc...if possible.

*women with natural red hair intimidate me.

[girlin2une]

*women with natural red hair intimidate me.

......Why?......

[Logicaly]

Let's see five things...

Some times I feel like I should have been like a chef or pastry chef. I really love being in the kitchen cooking and baking and it brings me so much happiness when I can see someone enjoy whatever I made. I also can some times be seen dancing and singing around the kitchen while I am cooking. Although I have never let anyone see me do that.

I really wish I could live in the country in a house with no neighbors and a good size piece of land but I also want it to be close to my family and my work because I don't want to give those things up. So that is what stops me from living in the country. Priorities.

Third thing...I worry every day that today is going to be the day that my dad forgets who I am. I know in his heart he won't ever forget. He has alzheimers and it is progressively getting worse.

Fourth thing would be that I have really bad social anxiety. It has gotten better but I will avoid things I really want to do if it is going to require me to interact with others and even more so if I have to do it alone.

And the final thing is that I am a super picky eater. I have issues with textures on a lot of food and it causes a gag reflex for me. So I pass on a lot of food that actually looks like it is really good. I realize most of this is a mental block on my part and it is only within the last year I have started to try more things.

[Talon]

I was not brought up, nor socialized like many females.
My Father instilled and expected me to go beyond gender. It never occurred to me that I was not able to achieve anything that I desired , gender was no excuse as far as my parents were concerned..and that was one of the greatest gifts they've given me.

I have a love affair with books, and have a room dedicated to them.

I love to garden in the rain.

I sleep very deeply.

Nothing makes my heart happier than to see my loved ones happy,
and nothing can bring me lower than seeing them unhappy.

[CherylNYC]

*I appear to be as tough as nails in many situations, but cute kittens, (yes-redundant, I know. ALL kittens are cute), are my Kryptonite. A live baby kitten can turn me into babbling mush. Photos and videos of same are nearly as effective.

*I've taught a straight woman, a butch, and a few gay men to wear high heels. Sa-SHAY they desired, and sa-SHAY they did!

*Back in the late 1970s when we thought they were about to become the hottest visual art medium, I spent a year making holograms.

*Once I find a motorcycle or a car that suits me, I just keep replacing the worn out vehicles with the same model.

*I love roses. The more old fashioned and fragrant, the better.

[Shystonefem]

I can be fierce if you mess with someone I love

I took a huge pay cut because I wasn't happy with what I was doing and now do something I enjoy

I HATE cooking

My two favorite places, San Juan and Belize

People either like me or hate me, there is no in between - and I don't know why... :confused:

[Bard]

I am a nice guy but if you mess with someone that I love watch out I can be a vicious bastard.:moonstars:

I like to cook and am actually very good at it but I really like to see someone enjoying what I have made.

I am a softy and have a week spot for sappy movies that will make me tear up .


I am musically inclined and love to sing and I use to play the Sax.

I love flowers Roses to be exact the first time Someone sent me Roses I kept them and I still have them..

[uglyboi]

1. I would like to live in a zoo; eat, sleep, beat my chest now and again, then embarrass myself in front of onlookers. Nevermind that is my life already.

2. I had an imaginary friend as a child. His name was Toby. He had red hair, wore Osh Kosh B’gosh farmer jeans without a shirt and carried a sling shot in his back pocket. I only saw him from the back and never even came close to seeing his face. He giggled wildly and I would try to catch him as he ran through a small wooded area behind my house.

3. I will rearrange the entire top rack of the dishwasher just to fit one more coffee mug in. It’s like Tetris. I have issues.

4. If I text you “Hey!” I expect you to bring the same intensity and reply with “Hi!”.

5. I wore black the day that Joe Montana retired.

[kittygrrl]

Tomato soup is my favorite
I collect sea shells
I'm afraid of ghosts
I believe everything is in the kiss
this world may be a mirage

[Gayandgray]

Since I quit smoking and drink very little now, food is my vice. (Terrible Addiction). I used to draw and was kinda good at one time. I love to smell the insides of dog's ears. I could browse around on Pinterest for hours. I'm crazy about anything coconut.

For the record, Marshall's/TJMaxx/HomeGoods/etc has an absolutely delicious coconut popcorny type food that is soooooo good. Addictive, even.

Not that I'm enabling your coconut thing.

[candy_coated_bitch]

1) I'd do anything to help a friend.

2) I'm fairly short at 5"2'.

3) I can eat an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting.

4) I'm a nervous driver.

5) I love teen magazines.

[clay]

1. That I am very tenderhearted......

2. How devotedly loyal I am to friends

3.That I love to write..I write from my soul....

4. I am fairly tall at 5'8"

5. I love wearing Justin boots & Levis with snap fronts.......used to be called 501's!

[Medusa]

1. I've cried a LOT over the last year. Maybe more than I have in my entire life. I'm grateful for all of the tears for being mostly cleansing, even in times of grief, and especially grateful that almost all of my tears in the past several months have been tears of happy happy joy joy.

2. I still believe that one of the most powerful and shortest sentences in the English language is: "I Love."

3. I am currently carrying 7 different red lipsticks in my purse. Brands include: Chanel, Bobbi Brown, MAC, Kat Von D, Guerlain, Tom Ford, and Christian Louboutin. I would NEVER pay $90 for a lipstick but it does help to have a very handsome Gay Bear who works in the beauty industry who loves to shower me with pretty things once in a while.

4. I kinda love seeing people get all sparkly about the holidays. As long as no holiday sweaters are involved :)

5. I'm really, really happy lately.

[Venus007]

1. A complete anxious melt down is part of nearly every presentation I create for work (I have to stop that shit)
2. I tend to veer quickly off small talk and try to have real conversations with people I meet. I like to ask questions like "What super power would you want and why" or "if your kid self met your adult self would they think you're cool?"
3. I struggle with my career eclipsing my actual life
4. I miss long rambling walks in the woods (not much forestation in Houston)
5. I long to be free from the tyranny of the urgent and constantly being scheduled

[MsTinkerbelly]

Wind storms scare me.
I like an uncluttered house, with minimal things on the walls.
little Debbie cupcakes straight from the freezer make me happy. :)
i wear white socks with my clogs when I work in the yard
All I want for Christmas this year is a huge pack of new white socks:jester:

[cathexis]

Refuse to act my age.
Am a "sammie" Southern belle bottom.
Hate to wear anything tight.
Am a hermit.
Let my driver's license expire 3 years ago, and refused to drive ever since.
Love "high cocoa" dark chocolate.
Spend way too much time online.
Am a terrible US/World news addict.

[Jesse]

1. I am a world news hound. I generally watch Reuters TV or Newsy via Roku, but also peruse the following news websites:
http://www.therealnews.com
https://www.indymedia.org
http://www.alternet.org/

2. It truly hurts my heart to see people treated unfairly. I have a strong sense of justice and believe very much in treating others with equity, even though I sometimes fail to achieve this to the degree I aim for.

3. I am certified in both human and canine CPR and First Aid

4. Most of my life I have struggled with an issue pertaining to washing dishes that stems from childhood trauma. After working diligently on changing the way I think when approaching this particular challenge, it seems to have been resolved most recently. It was so bad when I was younger that I would only buy dishes from a thrift store, so I could throw them away rather than washing them. Back then I could buy a box full for a couple of bucks. Lol!

5. It is very possible that I have a container fetish. I love wooden boxes, metal tins, etc.

[Orema]

That I wake up many time in the night.
That I'm a graphic artist with no passion for my work. I love my job (in part) because I manage, distribute, and update art files instead of creating them.
That I'm not good at original designs but am good at copying others' work. I would be an excellent counterfeiter, but I don't have the patience nor the inclination.
That I had a car accident in 2014 where my soft-top car rolled over after I lost control after getting a flat tire while speeding on the freeway. I'm still amazed I walked away without even needing a band aid, though I am scarred mentally.
That I'm having the inside of my garage painted a pale color of pink over the next couple days. Am looking at some paint samples this morning, and may even create a mural in the garage, but for now i'm starting with a pink palette that may remain blank. Very stoked about this!


:bow:

[Kätzchen]

1) As I have aged, grown, I've noticed that I'm not as fast to drop kick problematic issues like I used to. But, under mixed combinations of trigger tripping circumstances, I am known to pull out my proverbial big guns and apply the perfect hush remedy.

2) I've had a few loves in life....but when Juan came into my life, my whole world burst into flames. I've fallen sooooo hard, for my Cuban Sugarman. He's so smart, I'm almost terrified of his intelligence, lol. I'm sure he probably thinks the same thing about me. When we're together, I know there's nothing in the world we can't face together. He's mine and I'm his, hook, line and sinker.

3) I love to drive, I'm proud of my near perfect driving record. But I might not ever drive again. And, I'm okay with that, for now. My near traffic fatality accident has traumatized me in ways that I couldn't expect.... I'm fearless, in so many ways. But life changed for me the day I nearly died. Maybe, in time, I will not be so deeply affected by the traffic accident.

4) I've always prided myself on my own independence. I've since discovered that I can't live without Juan. He's my whole world. He's all I can see, for miles and miles. We study each other with hungry eyes and devour each other like we haven't eaten anything in days. He drives his closest friends crazy with talking about me all the time. I have no idea if I'm driving my friends crazy, lol. :blush:

5) I've come close to swooning, a few times in life. I used to be so jaded and thought that swooning was just some imagined personal experience. Not anymore, though. Juan makes me swoooooon. Swooning is a very real thing. Juan proved that to me.

[legally_b10nde]

When I get sick of reading text books, I find myself reading children's book

I think having sleepover at aquarium is so awesome

Wearing high heels gets me on a power trip

I did not cry at the movies this year

One day, I will take a train "sleeper car" across the U.S.

[anotherbutch]

I quit smoking.. cold turkey 2 years ago and havent touched a cigarette since.

I've lost 2 siblings to cancer.

My mother is a breast cancer survivor.

I've had 2 heart surgeries and it worked. I'm heart healthy now.

I'm terrified I will get breast cancer. My only sister died from breast cancer at the age I am now. (I just had a mammogram and am waiting for the results)

[Soft*Silver]

1) I love earrings. Its the main piece of jewelry I wear and I feel incomplete if I dont have a pair on.

2) I never buy anything yellow. And I just noticed this recently and come spring, I am willing myself to buy a yellow dress

3) I drive a jeep and my husband drives a jeep. We are a jeep family!

4) I have gone from 8 bookcases to 2 in the last few years.

5) I love to watch stupid sitcoms. I dont get a chance to watch much tv, so when I do, I indulge in the salt water taffy of tv shows...lol

[Soft*Silver]

to bump this thread..five other things about me

1) I am Russian Slavik/Romany. My maternal grandmother was an actual "gypsy" and my paternal side had a relative that played the violin for the czars.

2) I often try to have the last word....its a character flaw and it gets me in trouble. LOL. Its not as bad as it use to be but yeah, it still lingers as part of me

3) I really worry about why there arent more cemetaries. People die all the time and I believe we just dont have as many cemetaries as I think there should be to account for all the deaths.We have more apartments than graves and there have been FAR more people who have died than people who are currently alive. Where are all the dead people?

4) Speaking of dead people, my daughter is a professional medium. She does readings at a local holistic alternative spirituality shop, on a regular basis. She has quite the local following. She has had this gift since she was a child..she was always conjuring up spirits!

5) I keep all my old jewelry in old purses. I have about three big handbags full of dated jewelry. I cant wait for my grand daughters to get bigger so I can give them to them!

[Kätzchen]

1) I grew up in the Republican stranglehold of not only my home state, but was the only member of my family who did not adopt republican values or the typical mindset eschewed by members of my immediate family and extended family. I took a lot of heat for bucking family traditions. I was an outsider in my very own family. And I paid a huge price for it, growing up in my family.

2) I tend to favor the stories of the anti-hero, rather than buying into the story of the hero.

3) I'm not proud of having invested ten years of my life to become a member among the ranks of the so-called educated. Knowing what I know now is no different before I invested in an education. I'm not any smarter, thank heavens. I've just got a better set of .... skills, so to speak. Maybe one day I won't feel bitter about it, but I have grown cynical over time. I'm still growing, I'm still learning, I remain committed to an attitude of humility and seek to shape my life in ways which will help me to feel better about who I am and who or what I still could become.

4) I'm an artist, of sorts. I like to draw or paint or create sculpture.

5) I sometimes struggle with poetry. I appreciate poetry. I like to create poetry or prose. Sometimes I write vast amounts of literature; then I will go several years before my creative writing process comes back to life.

[nycfem]

1) Lately my favorite candy is Chuckles :jester:

2) Once I lent someone I was close with on the first butch femme site six hundred dollars when she was in a crisis, and I never got it back, even when her life stabilized. The last time I called her trying to get the money was a number of years ago, and when she finally picked up the phone after many rings, she said, "You got me out of a bath!" I decided that it was getting silly, and I just had to let it go. At least I got her out of the tub :mohawk:

3) I have sweet blood so I always get bit by mosquitoes much more than anyone else.:pacman:

4) I feel close with people on this site just by reading their posts for years even if I never post with them or chat with them:hk2:

5) My gay brother and I have so much in common that once when we were home from college a gazillion years ago, my mom was folding our clothes that she had kindly laundered for us and she had to casually ask us, "Whose shirt is this?" It said, "Nobody knows I'm a submissive." :blink:

[Gypsy]

1. My real name IS Gypsy, my great aunt :angel: named me...lol And I grew into it...lol

2. Right now I live in a one room log cabin :farmtree: in TX and LOVE it :cheer:

3. I haven't had a tv in 7 years :scarytv:

4. I sold my house on Dec 30, 2016, and moved :carride: to Texas in Jan 2017 knowing only one on-line friend...and not knowing where I was going...and I still don't know.

5. I didn't know I was a lesbian until I was 35...late bloomer :rose: ...lol

[IrishAmazon]

I love to make big meals for other people, and then hardly eat anything myself when it’s time. Recipes and meals are never the same twice, I have never followed a recipe all the way through, except for the cheese cake(I have yet to see it out done).

At some time in my life I want to acquire a decent parcel of property turn it in to a lovely bed and breakfast, grow my own produce. Knowing myself it would also end up a hodge podge of rescued animals.

I am crazy shy. Just awful at social interactions, my face flushes very red at the thought of talking to someone by choice that I don’t know, unless it is work related then I can talk laugh even flirt a bit, but speaking to someone because I might want to…. I’d rather turn tail or bury my head in the ground.

I love a rainy anything; I even prefer running errands and amusement parks in the rain.

I can never get there and their right, so I use other phrasing or rework the direction of my intention so I can avoid the words. I also can not spell some of the easiest words, but I can spell the more difficult so I appear to have a better vocabulary than I actually do.

[PlatinumPearl]

I love reality T.V. and keep up with Hollywood drama.

I love food and choose restaurants by their atmosphere and rarely by their menu.

I organize clothes by outfits just so I don't wear the same outfit and bump into someone that I may have seen the day before.

When I get home from being out I almost immediately change into my 'at home' clothes.

I have been wearing the same perfume for 10+ years. I alternate between two. I'm thinking it's time for a new one. :)

[dark_crystal]

1. i can't think of anything to write that might not make me sound like a crazy wierdo
2. I read 376 books last year. I don't usually read that many but i was trying to see if i could read one book each day
3. i became an aunt for the first time on Christmas- i am so in love with that!
4. the clock in my car is off by an hour for six months each year
5. i hate calling people on the phone but i'll talk if you call me

i'm a workaholic
i think about God all the time
i love cyberpunk novels
i can twirl a baton
i love graffiti on railcars

[cathexis]

Am quite partial to trains...be they passenger...freight or the kind that only I can pull.

Love city commuters and long rural lines, over water, over bridge, over prairie, but most of all in the desert deep where no one or modern building be. They're most beautiful at sunrise or best glorious at sunset.

Should I come back, I'd an engine be. Pulling hundred car freight trains from sea to shining sea.

2) Pull practical jokes, and just so anti-social to get away with it.

3) Am not fond of reading as an act. Rather listen to an unabridged tape or a
person narrating the story. Like to shut the eyes and just drift away.

4) Don't put up holiday decorations; as, I do not like the task of taking them
down until next year.
5) Once hands and more severely feet get chilled, t:batty::cuttree::santa1:he only way to warm
them is in hot water.

[Medusa]

5 Things Nobody Would Know!

1. I love green olives! On salads, on sandwiches, out of the jar!

2. One of the girls at my Starbucks thinks my name is "Josephine" because that's what I tell her every time I get my quad flat white.

3. Years ago I worked with a woman who was a complete asshole. She was mean and nasty to just about everyone in the office. One day she made another coworker cry and it pissed me off so bad that when the asshole left her desk to go to the copy room I farted in her purse and zipped it closed. No, I don't know if it trapped it but it was damned satisfying to think it did.

4. I am fascinated by people. I love to people-watch and I love watching the way people traverse the world of dating, work dynamics, and friendships. It's like people TV!

5. I'm thinking about a career change. Maybe a drastic one.

[VintageFemme]

My favorite books in all the world are, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Both changed my life at different times in my life.
My weakness is pastry. I cannot and will not ever say no to cake or pastries (most). Because I'm a vegetarian people assume I would be thin (i never understand why that is) but carbs are a girl's best friend. Sheet caking is real.
I do not like domestic flowers, except for sterling silver roses. I am more the wildflower kinda girl.
I would never wear a diamond. Ever.
While I am somewhat of a music snob, I confess (embarrassingly so) to loving the song, The Rain The Park and Other Things by The Cowsills.

[Kätzchen]

1) up until an year or so ago, I never missed an day of work. I've had an flawless attendence record throughout my work life.

2) my secret passion is to do some unexpected kindness for people I know or people I barely know at all.

3) I am an voracious reader.... I like learning about most anything, especially if it's related to any sort of experience human's face in life.

4) I'm not perfect, but I am resilient. The fabric of my soul is woven with an plethora of life experience: Experience that has hurt me to the core or experienes that have lifted and strengthened me.

5) I experience deep satisfaction when I'm out in the kitchen, learning how to make enjoyable, satisfying meals.

[clay]

1. I was the only girl of 3 children

2. I am differently abled

3. Years ago I played softball every season, on a women's championship league in the Rec Dept.

4. I rode skateboards as a teenager in Hawaii

5. I LOVE key lime pie!

5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone


1. I love to play my violin..
2. I enjoy politics..
3. I have a phobia of beetles...
4. I help care, shelter & feed some homeless animals from time to time until a suitable stable home can be found for them..
5. I have a grill scar on my tush... lol (Don't ask)

[Medusa]

5 Things Nobody Knows:

1. When I was a kid I used to suck on chicken bouillon cubes as a treat.

2. All of my underwear are the same color.

3. I often put incorrect birth dates on online forms and forums (on purpose).

4. I sometimes have a hard time striking a balance between being an extreme cheap-ass or extravagant AF.

5. When I turned 20, I had a girl's name picked out in case I ever got a wild hair to have a baby even though I knew I never wanted kids. It's probably divine intervention that "Ivy Noel" was never born because I think she might have ended up a soap opera star with a name like that.

[VintageFemme]

1. I've been making the same wish on stars, birthday candles, wishing wells, etc. since I was a little girl.
2. I love mobster movies. I will watch the Godfather trilogy all in one day and then the next day, watch Good Fellas.
3. I have a potty mouth and don't really trust people who don't swear regularly.
4. I'm becoming more and more a recluse with every passing year. Think Grey Gardens.
5. I don't drink soft drinks.

#3-5 of the above pretty much apply to me as well.

As for #2, switch it to the Harry Potter series and that's me. USA is repeating the series now and even though I have it, I'm still recording and watching it. It's the one series I feel I got my money's worth after watching.

#1 would be that I don't like to eat birthday cake at other people's parties because I don't want to eat their expiration.

[kittygrrl]

kitten purrs put me in a mellow mood
i love growing pumpkins
i want to visit wine country someday
i write poetry when i'm blue
i have a weakness for hawaiian shirts....(not on me) :|

[candy_coated_bitch]

1) I'll eat birthday cake at other people's parties. It's cake, yo.

2) I love eating in bed.

3) I like keeping my nails short, but love nail polish. Especially glittery nail polish.

4) I love kalamata olives and will eat them as a snack.

5) I must be hungry because this post will mostly be about food: I am currently obsessed with veggie chips.

[Bèsame*]

1. I'm hooked on "real" court tv

2. I just bought crazy xmas socks to wear on my walks, to feel festive.

3. I have a pink little xmas tree.

4. I tend to have a heavy hand when using pepper.

5. I like being the passenger on road trips!

[Stone-Butch]

1/ I rarely eat treats at all. I don't eat desert. Cookies, cake, ice creme no.

2/ I eat a lot of seafood especially fish with greens of some kind.

3/ I learned how to treat women from the way my dad treated my mom.

4/ I like to think of myself as kind and generous.

[kittygrrl]

i love chocolate anything
cozy irish knit sweaters
warm fuzzy socks
fog
frost on autumn leaves

[charley]

1. I can't stand instrumental jazz, new age mood music, and don't usually listen to rock'n'roll, etc.
2. I do not watch horror films
3. IRL, when people I know lie in my face, I usually emit a small scoffing laugh/cough
4. I have 6 angels watching over me - all throughout my life (I saw my death inside, and they will be there watching me die)
5. I usually wake up smiling, and laugh a lot - I find many things funny, and usually learn something new every day, all of which deepens my understanding and which I never remember - (funny, eh?) laughs

[Kätzchen]

My 80 year old mom has a life long problem of helicoptering me, which I have never liked, and which we argue about rather frequently. I love my mom, but I won't tolerate her helicoptering me.


I trim and color my own hair because my hair grows slowly. I like my hair to look as nice as it can be, so that's why I do it on my own.


I don't like sharing my own space at home with anyone other than myself. I like the quiet of my own home and I hope to keep it that way for the rest of my life.


I miss all the food I like to eat, but can't eat anymore. It's a challenge making meals without all the things that will kill me (dairy, sugar, meat, and certain other vegetables: OMG, I miss vine ripe tomatoes the most).


I like Agatha Christie novels and movies. I went to go see Murder On The Orient Express last year and it was simply awesome cinema at it's best.

[kittygrrl]

i clinically died on an operating table when i was 27
i would be happiest in a world full of women, no men
i'm a pessimist, by nature
i've faced death more then once
i love working with wood

[JustLovelyJenn]

I have severe social anxiety
I have spent most of my life making sure everyone around me is happy and fulfilled
I am passionate... about pretty much everything I do
I want to support LGTBQ youth in every way I can
I dream of living in a cabin in the woods with no electricity or running water

[Orema]

Sometimes I give phony names at take out restaurants and coffee shops. I usually use a relative’s name.

I don’’t believe in God but I believe in the power of prayer.

I talk to deceased relatives. Usually when I have heavy things on my mind.

I love train rides.

I’m thinking of getting a kitty after not having one for decades.

[nycfem]

Thinking of five things for this thread often feels so hard. It can take me forever, and sometimes I abandon posting on this thread because I get stuck. I have no idea why it's so hard :seeingstars:

My butch falls asleep easily every night, while for me going to sleep is like lighting a fire with sticks: very hard.

Please pass the sweet potato fries, always.

For many years I've had a secret name for myself (actually perhaps even since childhood) that would become my name if I was ever "perfect." Sometimes I say that one day I will have that name but then I fail at being perfect, and the name migrates to the background. I kind of like having a secret name for myself that only I know even if I can't ever claim it, and even if the concept of being perfect is quite sad and troublesome. It's always exciting to have a secret and maybe especially a secret name.

I feel on this site I can be myself more than anywhere else on the "web."

[Kätzchen]

I have more shoes now than I have ever had in my entire life, and I like each pair of shoes I have because not only are they terribly cute but they're terribly comfortable.

I do not care for nosy people.

I'm sort of a snob when it comes to purses. I don't care for brand name purses that have come to be some sort of status symbol. I like home made cloth purses or leather tooled purses. Purses that scream individuality and style. That's my kind of purse.

I take pride in paying off all my bills before they are due and I also take pride in living within the constraints of my own earnings. I'm not a proverbial money tree, but I do have an excellent credit rating that my banking institution says speaks highly of me. I guard it with my life, just like I guard my privacy.

I don't care for people who don't know how to shut up and listen, really listen. I tend to stay away from people who do not value a quiet, chaos-free style of living. I blame it on my ever deepening introversive personality as I value my introversion and ability to feel at home -- as a very quiet individual.

[PlatinumPearl]

1. I have a no pet policy in the bedroom during our adult time! As much as I love animals I'm not cool with them being there during those moments, that just doesn't sit well with me.

I once broke up with someone I was dating because of her evil black cat.
The breaking point for me was when the cat decided to park itself inches away from where we were to observe the situation!! Thankfully nothing happened other than an argument as to why the cat was allowed to be there in the first place. I broke up with her shortly after that. She couldn't understand why. :|

2. Because of #1 I will not date anyone that owns a black cat or allows pets in the bedroom during our adult time. #sorrynotsorry.

3. I am single and will remain so until I meet my soulmate. I know what I want, need and desire from a partner and relationship and I am not willing to compromise or settle for anything less than at this stage in my life.

4. I love music and film and think Sound Engineers and Film Directors have the coolest job in the world!

5. When I was younger I wanted to run off to New York to be an Actress which sounded like a good idea at the time and nearly happened but the universe had other plans and stopped me in my tracks. It took me a long time to get over that and to see it as a blessing in disguise.

[Stone-Butch]

I was a nurse. RNA

I was a vet. assistant for 12 yrs.

I was a private investigator

I was a truck driver for Purolator

I am a retired addictions counsellor


I bore easily.

[Kätzchen]

1) I have always wanted to earn a Black Belt in Judo, but the closest I've ever come to it is wearing one of several black belts I have in my wardrobe.

2) I like sweet pickle relish and I like Kosher Dill pickles. A lot.


3) I sometimes can't make up my mind and sometimes when I can't make up my mind, I say to myself: Just Sleep On It. Because, if I give myself time to think it completely through, you know - consider all the outcomes, etc, then most likely I feel good that I couldn't make up my mind and was glad that I slept on it.


4) I like beautiful Batik clothing (long skirts or dresses or pretty shirts or scarves, in brilliant or muted mixed shades of color).


5) I've gone without makeup for about 45 days now and can hardly believe I have gone this long without putting on a little makeup. I blame it on having to wear masks and look forward to the day that masks will stay in hospital settings and not found in ordinary daily life settings.

[Kätzchen]

1) People who resemble, act or smell like "Captain Chaos" (you know, like that person in the WH who is wrecking the world, can't shut up, has attention seeking disorders and personality disorders too?), are not allowed in my life. Life is too short to put up with that kind of offensive way of living.

2) I've made up my mind that I should move again. I'm hoping to have my own residence: one that offers more privacy and has enough room so I won't feel encroached upon.

3) I am worried about my health. I have a few things going on that I can't talk about openly here, but I just have to take steps to limit stressors in my life (see no. 1 and 2, above) so my health won't decline any more than it has over the past few years. My health is fragile, so I gotta do everything I can to make things better for myself, somehow.

4) I need to get my passport renewed. Pronto.

5) I still miss my caT, Miss Petunia.

[Stone-Butch]

I eat mainly fish and lean meats.

I do not like mushrooms, carrots, squash, mint of any kind, turkey, lamb or goat

I am fairly easy to get along with unless riled then I am hell in your face.

I do not like to eat out a lot or get take out. I prefer cooking fresh food.

I just signed up with a dating room. (we shall see). Alone is good but not forever.

[cathexis]

I am genderqueer considering top surgery
I am most certainly a hermit though not meditating on some diety
By most people's standards, including mine, I am an Athiest.
My politics are eclectic but Socialist to Communist to Anarchist. In other words, far, far left.
Am a natural red-head.

[cathexis]

Though a variety of Communist, I am a strong believer in our Constitution.
I became a politically active dyke in 1974 in Indianapolis.
My views on the use of "illicit" drugs is quite radical.
I haven't shaved my legs or underarms since becoming a Radical Feminist in 1976.
Being a contrarian, I enjoy Formula 1 and street auto racing.

[Kätzchen]

1) I like the windshield's of my car sparkling clean: No streaks, no dirt or drippy tree sap on them. I like to see the road and not have the sun glaring off the windshield, so I clean them before I drive (every single time).

2) I am constantly keeping an eye on the tires. The tread needs to be a certain depth and the tread needs to be evenly worn. I like to make sure the tires are always aired properly. Rapid temperature changes can make tires lose air and can go flat when you least expect them too. So I keep an eye on them.

3) I wash and vacuum out the car on a weekly basis (I go to the car wash often).

4) I am particular about the type of gasoline I use for the car and I am particular about the gas station, too. Top shelf gasoline only and only clean gasoline stations do I frequent.

5) Last year I switched to Green Energy as my power source with the power company that serves my area. I cut my energy use by more than half. My power bill is 5 times less than it used to be, even during a heat wave or a cold spell. I don't heat the house, but I do use a Clean Energy Air Conditioner, which also saves on my power bills. My Green Energy comes from Solar Panels, so I highly recommend Solar power if your utility company offers it via a Green Energy program. My winter monthly power bill is less than 20 dollars. During the summer, when I use my A/C, my monthly bill is less than 50 dollars. Before I switched to Green Energy, my power bill was off the charts in the winter and just as horrible during the summer. Green Energy uses less power and your carbon foot print is small, very small.

6) I am saving up to buy a Smart Car (EV). I'll miss my Ruby Tuesday, but I like saving money and I like being energy conscious and not robbing Mother Earth of the energy she's got left. I want to my energy use at home to match my energy use on the road. So that is my short term goal (in 3 years or less).

[VintageFemme]

I've lived in three of the four corners of the United States
I've never been off the mainland of the United States
I stopped flying three years ago
I love to weekend travel by car
While my tent camping days are over, I still love trailer/rv glamping



{i've done this more than once on the thread so hopefully i don't repeat myself}

[PlatinumPearl]

1. I have a fruit bowl for bananas only.

2. I will only eat bananas when they are ripe and the peel is lightly speckled. I find this is when they taste the best.

3. I love pickles and have yet to try peanut butter (or nut butter) on a pickle. Apparently that's a thing.

4. I soak oats before making oatmeal.

5. Sometimes as a snack I will eat cucumbers with tomatoes and avocado. I take a cucumber slice and build everything on top, squeeze lemon juice and add fresh/dried herbs and a little salt.

[Gemme]

1. I have a fruit bowl for bananas only. I have a fruit bowl that currently only had Halos in it although sometimes there are apples in there too. Bananas hang on their tree to prevent bruising on one side.

2. I will only eat bananas when they are ripe and the peel is lightly speckled. I find this is when they taste the best. My employee says the same thing. I prefer 99% yellow with no green and very little brown. It's the texture that gets me. Too ripe and they are too soft, like baby food and I just can't eat them. I liked firm bananas.

3. I love pickles and have yet to try peanut butter (or nut butter) on a pickle. Apparently that's a thing. Apparently, it's not just for the pregnant anymore! Here's a recipe (https://www.trialandeater.com/peanut-butter-pickles-chips-sandwich/).

Honestly, as much as I love dill pickles, I've never tried this. **Update** I took a chip and a schmear and I tried it. It's not my favorite thing in the world, by far, but I didn't gag so there's that. It might be better in the recipe with the other things added.

People also say pickles and ice cream is good. I'm not eating ice cream now so someone else will have to confirm this one.


4. I soak oats before making oatmeal. Me too! Since I switched to steel cut oats, anyway. I like the chewy texture better than the more processed oats.

5. Sometimes as a snack I will eat cucumbers with tomatoes and avocado. I take a cucumber slice and build everything on top, squeeze lemon juice and add fresh/dried herbs and a little salt.

I've never eaten this but it sounds absolutely delicious.

I think I answered 4 sufficiently enough for the thread.

#5 I like to make a poor woman's version of a Caprese salad for a quick easy snack. I take mozz pearls and rip them up into bite size chunks to dot the tops of sliced fresh tomatoes (sometimes beefsteak and sometimes gourmet) and then drizzle it all in a balsamic vinaigrette. A quick turn of the sea salt grinder and I'm good to go.

[Stone-Butch]

I cannot stand the smell of cucumber or tuna fish.

I love all kinds of pickles.(little onions included).

I have travelled a lot but never off the North American continent.

I love most kinds of music and most kinds of dancing.

Mother Nature and Mother Earth are very precious to me.

[Kätzchen]

During my 'coming of age' time, I always liked to read about Princess Diana. I thought she was so lovely and a sweet mother to her boys and I felt so sad back when she lost her life in that car crash with the paparazzi, that when I read about her life being portrayed on The Crown, I got so teary.

Which then made me think of Elton John and how his music was exactly what I liked to hear, back as a young adult. His song about Marilyn Monroe, Candle in the Wind, was the song he sang at her funeral. I'll never forget Princess Diana or Elton John.

Neil Diamond is a favorite music artist, from back then. Loved all his songs, especially the sound track he did for Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

I don't like mince-meat pie. But I do like Molasses cookies.

I'm so sick and tired of the non-stop horse-shit spewing from the orange menace. Somebody, please stop that horrible person and don't let him off the hook. Otherwise, others like that terrible person will think it's okay to lie cheat, steal, harass and who otherwise commit unsavory unethical conduct impaired people might do on a crack-infested mania filled with 200% conduct that of white collared criminals who have yet to get their just desserts.

[Bèsame*]

Growing up we never had Christmas lights on our house. I guess my Dad thought the color wheel was light enough. Anyways..I thought we needed more outside decorations. I started to paint our picture window. Snowmen, trees..stuff like that. Well word got out, (thanks to Mom). I was commissioned to paint the windows at the beauty shop she worked at.

The shop owner also paid me to decorate her home Christmas tree. $$

I entered a Christmas tree decorating contest and won a Blue ribbon. 🏅

My bestie and I, in our twentysomething, wide awake..(shhh, I'm sure it was drug induced. Lol) We thought we needed a Christmas tree. We found a lot and took a tree, and we left money and a note on the trailer that was parked there.

I won first place in a Christmas Cookie contest. Carmel apple cookies. I was the last entry.

There, 5 things about my Christmas spirit!!🎄🎄

[Kätzchen]

1) I am deathly allergic to all sea food, especially shell fish. I am lucky to be alive today. That is what the ER doc said last night.


2) I sometimes parade around in Rico's gorgeous button down dress shirts or will borrow his pj's sometimes. :hk20:

3) I am closer to my goal for buying a new hybrid E-car. :)

4) I plan to take a medical retirment from work in two short years.

5) Rico is my best and last love, in this life. We both adore each orher and have never really struggled on any troubles we might face in life. He is my North Star. My guiding light. My saving grace. ♥️

[Bèsame*]

I'm hooked on watching car chases. Adrenaline rush.

I've spent hours watching court TV. Live trials.
I find the way lawyers get testimony from their witnesses, very fascinating. I learn so much technical, medical, protocol and random forensics.

I've dated a LA detective.

I've been robbed at gun point. ( more than once, work related)

I've been on a criminal and a civil jury.

[Happyfemme]

I have a silky named Milo. I love him. He is awesome.

My fiance and I currently live 3 hours apart because of our work.

I am the Director of Ambulatory Programs for a healthcare organization.

I am an adjunct professor at one of the state universities.

I am a consultant for a skilled nursing facility.

[Kätzchen]

1) Stormy weather affects my body in terrible ways due to my health condition (ostero-arthritis).

2) I walk what seems to be a bazillion miles a day (at work).

3) I waited years for a wonderful partner. I have one now.

4) My sweet, lovely man is nine years younger than me. He's so awesome. I'm madly in love with him.

5) My love took me out for an evening of fun (dinner and snuggle, cuddle time) on my birthday and spoiled me to the high heavens with affection and his sweet attention. :stillheart:

[Stone-Butch]

I have had many different kinds of jobs

My first job was at the gas pumps, pumpin gas and cleaning windows. I was 16.

I graduated from nursing school and went to work with the elderly

I worked for a collection agency for body shop

I trained and worked at lost prevention registered with the OPP police

I worked at an animal clinic for 12 years (fav. job in life, but politics)

I went back to school and graduated with a double BA @ university

I registered with the Canadian addictions and counsellors association, worked till I retired in a counselling situation. (7 jobs, sorry)

[cathexis]

I can probably count the number of fiction books read on one hand.

When I graduated from Nursing school, went immediately into Trauma ICU nursing, then Nursing Supervision after five years.

Have a tuxedo cat named Che and a Calico named Calliope (pron. Cowl e ope
just like the New Orleans street).

I'm a PETA, ACLU, and NARAL member who is vegan.

Enjoy street racing cars.

[Kätzchen]

— 1) I am a very shy person, with trust issues; and while it might appear that I’m very vocal (in written form, I am), but verbally I’m not. I’m a very quiet person who is becoming more and more introverted as the years go by.

— 2) I am a visual learner. I quietly watch to learn all I can. Observation skills are probably one of the sharpest tools in my mental acuity chest.

— 3) My auditory skills are exceptional. My ability to hear exceeds normal hearing parameters.

— 4) I don’t believe in the concept of forgiveness. But once I’ve been “burned” by someone, you will most likely end up on my “unforgiven” list (permanently).

— 5) I’m grateful for certain friends I have in life who come from professional backgrounds in the healing sector. I feel blessed by these particular people in my life because I know they genuinely care about me. I return the professional courtesy by contributing toward the health and wellness of their lives.

— 6) Spring, summer and fall are favorite seasons of each year. I like winter, but not in the same vein as spring, summer or fall.

— 7) I have no idea if I will ever entertain a loving (romantic) relationship ever again. I’m definitely taking all the time I need to care for myself after my serious breakup with someone I thought I’d spend the end of my life with. I know it will be a very long time before I can move forward from the ashes of my breakup. I believe in nurturing myself into wholeness of my own and shoring up my ability to be resilient. New adventures and crafty goodness will help me to recover and move forward. ☺️

-my love language is touch
-i don't know if ive mentioned it but im gifted in the making of love spells, although i only perform them for myself on rare occasion and i haven't made one in a very long time
-i won't entertain a bully

[Soft*Silver]

I’m a strong willed woman, and when I attach myself to an idea, I don’t let go of it. This is proven to be both good and bad in my life.

And even though I am at ease in front of a large audience, giving a speech, but if I have to do one on one in a new situation with a new person, it is incredibly uncomfortable for me

And people don’t realize how sensitive I am. Someone once commented about a physical feature of mine and to this day, I fret about it. I don’t talk about it. But in my head, I feel less worthy because of it. But because I don’t talk about it, people don’t realize that i am sensitive about it.

Speaking of flaws….

When I was younger, I used to collect flaws, like dogs would collect sticks, walking around with them like they were some kind of prize, never realizing they were just sticks. I would often beat myself up with these sticks too. But the good thing about getting older is that you just see them as sticks and you can lay them down anytime you want. Or you can whittle at them and change their form somewhat make them something useful. I pretty much have my sticks under control now.

I hate the smell of vanilla. I don’t know why, but I have a knee-jerk reaction to it. I can eat vanilla, but I don’t like the smell of it.

[Stone-Butch]

I am allergic to dustmites

I use to have snakes and mice

I have had at least 6 different types of jobs

I rarely eat sweets like ice cream, candy, chocolate, pies, drinks. except ice Tea.

I truly like a lot of lemon, sour cherry, blueberry with no added sugar.

I abhor turkey but love chicken, duck, goose and partridge.
