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:

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

      Yeah, it is a real treat trying to combat the effects of an unwanted male puberty, or unwanted female puberty. Who will supply these kids with funding when they try to transition as adults? Insurance companies do everything they can to weasel out of paying for facial surgery, voice/speech therapy/voice surgery, and electrolysis. Not to mention the pain we all go through with these procedures that we may not have to endure as much with proper care at an early age. I cringe at what the next trans generations are going to face. The governor and his ilk, are typical of these super-majority R led states. Unless there is a huge change in the next 6 months, I am fearful of where things are heading. I feel like more bad stuff will unfold. I do not think they are done crucifying us.

      Feels like I'm walking on eggshells, when I'm the nicest, kindest hearted person anyone would hang out with.

      Cool. We had none in Boston, but my sister-in-law took this on an island near Seattle,

      Good morning    Work day today, no pool time, and no dress.  Just a uniform top and slacks.   Thank you for asking about my wife, @Ashley0616 , she is improving all the time and getting anxious to be rid of the med vac.  She keeps telling people a couple mor weeks be even with the speed at which she is recovering, I think that is more wishful than reality.   i received both compliments about my dress as well as my ability to speak before the congregation.  My little frog was right there with me but then he is a permanent resident in my voice.  Some days worse than others and I never know until I start speaking.  Maybe I need a frog exorcism.  Oh our church doesn’t do that.  Shucks.   well the humidity is coming back today along with possible rain and warmer weather.   I guess a lot of you are getting hit with smoke from Canada again this year. I recall last year you could see and smell it here.  It a shame to loose so many trees when we need them for climate control.  I was surprised to learn the South Carolina was the largest producer of wood in the states. We have a great deal of wet and swamp land that the plant and harvest and plant again.  While some makes it to the mills to become construction material, mose goes to one of several paper mills.  Those trees are clear cut and trucked to the mills to be cleaned mulched and processed along with recycled paper.the closest mill to here makes brown board which become packaging material like corrugated cardboard.   i guess we have rather ideal conditions for southern pine tree growing.  That along with cotton, rice indigo, tobacco and cash food crops fruits and vegitables and pecans, can’t forget the nuts.  You can take that more than one way and be right.   enjoy you day whether at work or at play.   Willow

      I wasn't really aware of an emotional roller coaster possiblity when I started.    A few days in I realized i had been living with some tension that I was able to ignore until it went away. One morning it was just 'why I do I feel better than usual'?   So I googled around and found that it was possible to have such a result, I was thinking it would just take time for physical effects to work on my emotions.   Some talk about finally being able to cry, I have always been an excellent crier, so on HRT I cry REALLY hard.   But laughing was never really that easy for me, and now I laugh out loud way more often. Love that part of the roller coaster.

      Satisfaction Satisfaction. The feeling when something meets or exceeds your expectation. You feel satisfaction when you expected to get something, and then got it.

      Well, for me, on day one is was like, wow, I feel more relaxed.  Then every day after that was more of the same.  YMMV.
