 Friends         | I will never understand why Trump got in but, like many things that happen in Wire, I will learn to live with it. All I ask is that you, every single one of you, vote your mind all the time. The truth is always what will set you free.  vincemajestyk74: Hmmm oh my! 😉☺️ 8 months ago • Report 0  BugHug: So much damage can be done when you don't know the full story. It occurred to me just now and because of the hour I will hold off saying it anywhere else. This is a placeholder per se BugHug: I'm not sure where else I can put this without putting my feelings out where the people involved wouldn't diminish them or ignore them or make too much of them so here goes. Happy 80th birthday to my stepdad who was there for me when I was 11 years old and left my life when I was 25 to never be heard from again. He was kind to me during a time in my life when I need it a lot. Loving. Always there for me. I guess I was his chosen one during that time. He sure didn't care for my younger brother but I was so used to being ignored by my own dad that I didn't see that at the time. He cheated on my Mom after years of an unhappy marriage. His last words to me were " it isn't true". I had no idea what he was talking about. He was bringing over a new mattress to my apartment and I hadn't heard the entire story from my Mom yet about how he had strayed. He did stray. He was unhappy and so was my Mom but he wasn't man enough to do anything about it. No hug. No good bye. No forwarding address. Gone. Fathers be good to your daughters. This John Mayer song has been going through my mind for a few days and now I understand why.  Corwin: I lost my dad a couple of years ago... it still feels like yesterday. He was a good man... a better man than I am... I live each day trying my best to make him proud of me. I'm an "Atheist"... I don't believe in life after death... but I know that he lives inside of me. As long as I live, HE lives. Corwin: I see him in me... I see him in my daughter... and yes... I see him in my two grandsons too. He's not gone. None of us are gone until we're forgotten. BugHug: New filing cabinet arrived today which my loving husband promptly got to work on. This is why I love being an admin for a living- I already had the hanging folders and labels ready when he was finished  BugHug: Boo- I saw your post with your adorable pink octopus and wanted to share a picture of Ocho (Spanish for eight) a coworker made for me. I thought she was making an octopus so that's why I named him eight for how many legs he has but turned out to be a jellyfish. So cute!  BugHug: I love watching murder mysteries- both fiction and non. I don't understand the very common statement from anyone under suspicion saying "why do you think I would kill them? I LOVED them!". Since when does loving someone absolve the other from killing them? I would think killing someone you love is more common than killing someone who has never annoyed the shit out of you in their life. For those of you here who I love- you are safe. For now. BugHug: Time to change my picture. The other one looks nothing like me anymore! Time does march on....  BugHug: Something has recently come up in my town in BC Canada (pop. 40k). Now that trans folks are (finally) recognized in BC, going to the pool means you enter the change room that you associate with your gender and you behave as you would as your gender going forth. Recently two teenage girls (14) went home and told their parents that someone with a penis had come in and changed in front of them into a female-style bathing suit and went out to swim while they were at the pool. They were shocked that they saw an older man's (around 50) genitals in the women's change room. All accounts say nothing untoward happened during this time. The pool has responded that if they had specific complaints of criminal behaviour, they should report it but the law says getting naked in a change room of someone's recognized gender is not against the law. I firmly believe that a person's genitals do not define their gender. I also know that North America is the most puritanical place to live when it comes to naked bodies. That is why so much money is made in strip clubs by simply showing boobies. Of course, the big deal here is that "anyone can now walk into a change room at the pool and expose themselves to young girls and get their kicks doing that. There is no way to mitigate this from happening but really? I know how shy I was all my life and I would change in a changing room every time before I did it in front of anyone else. I know I would have been shocked seeing a naked man in a change room for sure but I don't think I would have considered it a crime. Times are changing. Can we raise our children to be a little more okay around naked people? God knows they don't look like anything in the magazines lol!

Corwin: Kidding aside... nakedness is NOT pornography. I'm surprised Wire hasn't took this one down yet... a photo I took some years back. corwin's Picture Well... I suppose... you can't see nipples and camletoe and shit... but who cares!! What is SO bad about people without clothes on?? It's the way God made us.  God forbid someone see a nipple... ... or a hint of a vagina for that matter!  |
