Hi there people. It's been what seems like a million years since I have been to this site. Almost four weeks ago Graham and I had to pick up and move to Nebraska. We are without jobs, money, etc. Anyway...that is all on that topic. I'm just grateful that Graham's mom is helping out while we stress to get jobs to get back to how we normally live.

What I really wanted to talk about is this: We are an older couple (52 and 54). I am having a very hard time believing that I am this age. Again...another story. I went onto YouTube and Google search to try to find interesting videos, stories, etc about other butches and femmes. I found a load of stuff, but it was all the younger generations. I found an awesome series on YouTube called "Between Women", but that is only for black lesbians/studs. I watched it anyway because no matter what generation we are we all have gone through the same kinds of things. I just wanted to vent I guess. My questions are: what happens to femmes and butches when they become older? Do they hide out at home and disconnect from the social networks? Do they become staunch?

Grahamsgirl...not sure I am the one to talk to you about commununity because Arc is 51 and I am pushing 46 and we have no lesbian friends. That said, you are NOT invisible. There are people in your community that are so ready to be your friends. I have faith in this. I hope you will count me and Arc in as your first friends in Nebraska, despite the fact that we are in CT...Have you ever been to New England? It's a pretty cool place in some ways, and if you come to CT you can look us up...Now that said, if we get it in our heads to come to Nebraska (and we LOVE to road-trip!) would you mind showing us around?

I am not a car nut but it was a very sad moment. More so because it happened mid clear out. A car in a convenience I would rather not be without. Sigh...

psst.... don't you love it when you spot a typo after the edit option is closed? :rolleyes:

Class tonight was great. We were doing some energy work. Sending energy through Meridians and learning more about Asian Body Work. It was really a great session. One of the girls in class had a melt down on the table. Major release for her, great learning experience.

So, we were wrapping up class and someone brought the conversation around to The Wiggles (a kids show for those not in the know) There is a new lady in my class who I think was a previous student. Not really sure why she's joined in with my class. Anyway, at the mention of The Wiggles, she wrinkled up her face and goes "They're GAY." as though is was the most vile thing to come out of her mouth.

I said "There's nothing wrong with being gay" annnnd then promptly shut down. Then it got all kinds of akward in there. Good thing it was the end of class. I could NOT wait to get out of there.

I am disappointed because up until that point I had a great day, great class, felt great, and then i let this lady bring me down.

I am disapointed in the disgust in her voice.

But mainly I am disappointed in myself because I had a chance to to speak out and all I could muster was 6 little words.

i'm not disappointed in you. not even one little bit.

No. You've done nothing wrong. Medicine dosage mistakes happen. Crutches are learning experiences.

No reason to be disappointed in yourself.

All is well

Extremely disappointed that some asshat just HAD to drive past a high fire risk barricade and in doing so sparked yet another fire.

Come on people!!! Really...
