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.

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.
Groupings are easy for news material. And in many nations, we live in a society that doesn't read in-depth. There are always a few members of any group that can give it a bad name. Pedophile priests undermined trust in the Catholic Church. NAMBLA taints the reputation of LGBTQ+ folks....although since this thread is about Australia, I'm not sure it is very relevant.
Is it ignorance? Perhaps. But I think what is often labeled as ignorance is really just a different interpretation of the same facts, and different weight placed on portions of the evidence. We also live in a time when satire and criticism aren't particularly acceptable or understood by all.

^^^ This was meant sort of tongue-in-cheek, but wasn't helpful. Like it or not, to many people this is "confirmation" of beliefs, not humor. And in an era where language is changing and people often get confrontational and angry about minor aspects of language, it seems absurd to believe that there wouldn't be some sort of backlash over trying to label pedophiles as "Minor Attracted Persons."
While I don't agree with the idea that "LGBTQ = pedophile" I can understand how folks might think that was the case.
