It's ever so lonely..

U.S. Social Forum, June 22-26, Detroit, MI

What is the US Social Forum?

The US Social Forum (USSF) is a movement building process. It is not a  conference but it is a space to come up with the peoples’ solutions to the  economic and ecological crisis. The USSF is the next most important step in our  struggle to build a powerful multi-racial, multi-sectoral, inter-generational,  diverse, inclusive, internationalist movement that transforms this country and  changes history.

We must declare what we want our world to look like and we  must start planning the path to get there. The USSF provides spaces to learn  from each other’s experiences and struggles, share our analysis of the problems  our communities face, build relationships, and align with our international  brothers and sisters to strategize how to reclaim our world.

How lonely are you when the only conversation you get is from the librarian at the WV Library of Congress? I call her up to talk about books just to hear a friendly voice and have some articulate conversation. Hades, but this life is killing me. The highlight of my month is going to the grocery store. People here are friendly only b/c I'm handicapped. Otherwise I'd be as invisible there as I am at home. I feel like I'm beginning to lose my existence as an independent entity and exist only as a caretaker. I'm disappearing as a person and a femme...
no use even signing my name. no-one truly cares who I am anymore.

Lady Wu,

You are not disappearing! I hear you. You are not alone. I get the same.

Sometimes people don't know what to say when they see the disability. It is fear I think. I know online I am more vocal than in person. I struggle all the time with the ability to communicate. Sometimes I say something and what I am saying is not what I am trying to really communicate. It is so very frustrating. Then I get the one jerk who will post something belittling about me, but it is always underhanded or hidden in their post. Everyone knows the game. It is on all online sites.

Like you, I too don't go out much. My health is really struggling. A heart attack is what slowed me down a great deal. I just never thought in my wildest dreams I would be unhealthy at such an young middle age. I can understand how people have to make the decision to eat or buy a pharmacy drug.

Just remember you are not alone. I have a disability thread somewhere here. Please join us there. You are most welcome too. And please remember, nobody knows when they will become sick. It can happen at any time. It was that way for me. I was full of life, and having a ball. Then the next thing I knew I was sick. It was just that fast. One day enjoying life as an abled bodied guy, the next in the corinary care unit. Life changes.

Peace to you,
Drew

I was wondering if anybody could tell me where a queer can go to get a drink and maybe do a little dancing on a Saturday night in the Detroit area?

Alt/Rock or Retro music preferably.

I was with someone for 14 years with the last 4 officially married. Been single for the last 2 years almost going on three in October. Quite frankly I don't like being single, don't want to really get use to it.

I miss the company of a woman, I miss the scent of a woman, I miss the feel of a woman, I miss touching a woman. I miss laying in bed and just talking to her and I miss long drives and not having to say a word.

Some people are fine with being single and that is great. Some are not and that's ok as well.

Hoping she is around the next corner or on the next profile page.

Warmest Regards
