Xxi Winter Olympic Games In Vancouver 2010


Guest Mila

Recommended Posts

At the time of this post, there are 26 days left before 21st Winter Olympic Games! The games will be held in Vancouver 12-28 February 2010!

Is anyone else excited about it? :) Or maybe someone has tickets, and going to watch some events live?...

Who will win it all? Will Germany be on top again, or maybe USA will have more gold than anyone? What about those Russians and Austrians? :)

One thing of interest to the LGBT community, this is the first games where LGBT athletes have their own accomodations so that they can be themselves when not competing

That is great news. I hadn't heard that before. Now, does this encompass all of the countries- I surmise that it would.

I love the snow.

I really love watching the snowboarders do their stunts in the air.

I also love the Giant Slalom.

It should be allot of fun to watch. There are so many good stories to read during the Olypics.

Peace & Love Amanda

All the turns they are doing are just unbelievable! Whenever I try to attempt anything like that but much simpler, I still end up on the ice... and it hurts... :huh:

As far as I know it is open to any country who will allow their LGBT athetes to ID as such

I don't know. It could get kinda sticky because of hormone treatment and steriod levels. But, it certainly an interesting question.

Hey, we don't we have the Trans Olympics?

I might be wrong, but the closest thing to Trans Olympics is "Gay Games" which is the world's largest sporting and cultural event organized by and specifically for LGBT athletes, artists, musicians, and others (Wikipedia). It was originally called Gay Olympics, but were forced to change the name to Gay Games due to some legal issues.

Here is a link for wiki information about Gay Games:

My wife and I love the games, we are glued to the tv for 2 weeks.

The pomp and ceremony are awesome of the opening and closing days. It fallows strict guidelines set down by the IOC.

The world seems more united during the games. All countries no matter how big or small compete on a level playing field.

To bad this spirit could not continue on in all aspects of international dealings.

During ancient times athletes could travel with impunity through all countries, because all wars would stop during the games.

Wow and we think we are so smart now, we sure could have learned a few things from the ancients

See Ya Love Chandra

      Woke up early to prepare Mexican food for lunch as I had a friend coming over, but he forgot today is mother's day and cancelled.    Looks like I'll be eating Mexican food for dinner tonight.

      My condolences to the people of WA.  A huge warning about that type of politician though, those who broadcast the Anti-Trans message rarely if ever attend to any important legislative issues to benefit their constituency.  They are mostly single trick dogs, whose trick is to empty their food bowl and whine for more food.

      This stuff seems to be the major talking point for "conservatives" these days.  Just shows that they don't know what they're talking about, and don't particularly care.

      You are both beautiful.  Have fun.

      Mother's Day, so I thought I'd do the right thing and cook. So, we got Chinese takeaway! 😆   Actually, we planned it days ago, just thinking that tonight we would treat ourselves. Complete with a lovely bottle of Cab Sav.

      Exactly.   A plain old "Good morning" should always suffice, for example, whether the recipient expects a gender specific greeting or not.

      Hi awkward yet sweet, yeah, I tried dumping her but my current health insurance keeps directing me back to her as my primary, yet there are other doctors to choose from, but they are far away.
    • Ladypcnj
      Hi Birdie, I can relate to that.

      This sort of stuff makes my blood boil. A prospective state politician has gained approval from his party's state council to run in their state election next year.   He once stated that the + part of LGBTQIA+ is where pedophiles are categorized.   For clarity, in Australia the Liberal party is our main conservative party. They have lurched further to the right over the past 10 years or so. Our main progressive, union backed party is Labor.   WA Liberal party approves Dr Thomas Brough, candidate who linked LGBTQIA+ community with paedophiles - ABC News

      Happy Mother’s Day    I have to be at church earlier than normal for a mic check.  I have been going over what I am to say, both silently reading and reading it aloud.  My concern is that my voice will freeze as it sometimes does.     I felt I was honored very highly yesterday by my minister and supporter on my journey.  He and another minister are Standing together to become the next co-moderators of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  They included me to receive an advance copy of their initial submission.  I was one of only 6 people listed on the email to receive this.  Later this week it will go out to all the voting commissioners that will be in Salt Lake City for the meeting.  I have asked to be allowed to attend the meeting to support him and Rev CeeCee Armstrong, whom he is standing with.    We’ll time to get ready .   Willow

      Nup. Not an option. You need to keep going and keep us all in the loop, and we need to keep seeing your beautiful smile!   Party, schmarty. I'm 61 and haven't had a birthday party since I was 30. Even that was just a crummy meal at the pub with a few friends who we have since lost contact with. Don't sweat it.

      On behalf of everyone reading your entries here @Sally Stone, THANK YOU for creating such an informative thread. But there is one thing you might have neglected to say at the end, and that is, "And they all lived happily ever after!" ❤️   Reno sounds like a pretty good place to call home. I understand the attraction of living in a place that is not too big but not too small.   I look forward to reading your subsequent posts about specific aspects of your journey.
