Sally's Thought For The Day


Sally

Recommended Posts

Sometimes being yourself isn't that hard and it is never a bad thing.

I know that isn't funny or particularly clever but it is something that we all need to know.

Love ya,

Sally

KNOWING what you are takes time - and you will take many detours, have to back up and reroute in a different direction, over and over.

ACCEPTING what you are usually takes a sudden flash of insight and a lot of faith in your own self-worth - trusting yourself to the point of thinking "I am just fine being what I am," which incidently produces such a relief afterward, you'll just KNOW it is the right thing.

EXPLAINING what you are is tricky - it can be done to the satisfaction of some people, but other times it just doesn't work. The key to remember is - understanding by others is an option you seek - not a requirement. If they reject your explanation - it is their loss not yours. And if you did the explaining honestly, and with a self assurance - it's THEIR FAULT, not yours, if they cannot at least give you support and encouragement.

People really don't need to truly understand, they just need to love you, love you for yourself.

...............

So my thought thought for today.

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF - nothing else matters, and people will see that.

What is the dumbest question that you can ask a middle aged transperson?

Can you keep a secret?

What is the SMARTEST question that you can ask a middle aged MTF transperson?

What are you now, 30 - 32 years old?

Love ya

How is it possible that Chevy, GM, Ford, Dodge and Toyoto all make the best selling, toughest trucks with the biggest hauling capacity and power?

If this is possible then we only need one podium at the Olympics.

we're number one through five!

Don't ever ask me if you may borrow a tissue - the thought of its condition upon its return is not an image that I want to have with me.

So just ask me if I would give you a tissue - I will.

Love ya,

Sally - the tissue gifter

I promise I won't.

Do you feel the same way about money?

:lol:

Love you

I don't know, I've never had any!

If 90% of what you worry about never happens, shouldn't we all spend a lot more time worrying about a lot more stuff?

Love ya,

Well it has been a year and four months since I had my last thought - you would think that this one would be really good.......don't get your hopes up.

I was wondering if I had the wrong version of the gospels - in all of mine the three wise men give their gifts to the Christ child but according to our current traditions it would seem that they simply exchanged their gifts with each other and left the Christ child out of it in the first place.

Love ya,

In listening to the Republican debates and noticing all of the changes of positions and attitudes I started wondering, is Mitt Romney an oximormon?

Love ya,

You got it half right Sally. But your word is too long :)

As a Democrat I sincerely hope he gets the nomination.

How about that donation of millions to the Mormon church and the position that the fact that the 1% have the majority of wealth in this country should be discussed privately but isn't right for public debate? Of course if I were in that 1% with him I'd agree.

This may be my first flat out political statement on the forums-or one of the few anyway.

Just couldn't resist. Think I'll go tape my fingers together so they don't get me in trouble. Or more trouble. :D

Love ya Sally

Work is what you do to make a living while occupying so much of your time that you cannot have a life.

All those previous glass half full/half empty thoughts seem pretty irelevent to me. Either way,there is clearly room for more vodka.

I have always wondered about this people who 'are not themselves' before they have their morning coffee - who are they at that time and what about the person they are being - do they have to drink that first cup of coffee simultaneously in order to each get back to the right body?

If so that could work out to be a better way than HRT and SRS if you could just not be yourself in the 'right' body and give up coffee.

Love ya,

Sally

The ORIGINAL coffee joke;

Waitress! This coffee tastes like MUD!

Sir! That's strange, it was GROUND this morning!

Lizzie,never heard that one before,so I had a laugh while drinking my morning (instant) coffee. That tastes like mud. :D

Sally,perhaps its because I just woke up,but that's some serious brain bending there. :P. Perhaps I should go back to bed,everything was much clearer there. :)

Things always seem to be clearer and make a lot more sense than they do when you are awake.

One thought against same sex marriages - just like any other marriage, they do come with all of the trappings - including In-laws!

Love ya,

      Actually the bill seems to be so thoroughly confusing that I doubt that enforcement is even possible.  It could however incite vigilante style actions.  A false accusation against a "looks challenged" Cis woman is very likely to happen early on.  So what will happen in the case of those situations?  I have a script in mind over the sad average looking daughter of one of the legislators getting tangled into one of those situations.  I don't know whether it would be a comedy or a tragedy at the minute.

      Time to bring a self defense weapon. Looking forward to having a gun on my side.

      I don't know yet. I'm sure there is going to be a big crowd. I also would have to keep up with the kids and probably won't enjoy myself mostly. 
    • Ashley0616
      I can understand that. My Keurig is used for hot water mostly and when my mom comes. I mostly use a regular coffee maker. I have had that for 5 years now. I had a Bunn but it didn't last long. I also have a French press and rarely use that. I would love to get a cappuccino maker but that is for later on. Starbucks is getting expensive. My kids favorite thing there is the cake pops. I found out that Walmart Neighborhood Market has them. Typical me getting off topic. lol

      After many years in denial, I have finally acknowledged my femininity. After quite a long life, so much time has been wasted. Now I feel I am too old to enjoy the freedom I now feel. All I can contribute to those who need to embrace their true gender, be BRAVE and don,t waste time!

      Well, welcome M.A. Several of my now grown kids were involved in theater in school.  And one is now a graphic designer.

      Wow what a busy day today.  Clearly the summer crowd is coming into town.  Doesn’t hurt that we have a PGA event here.  It is limited to 100 players. But the spectators is where the crowd is.   i alone more than doubled my usual sales.     we keep hearing thunderstorms however they are staying just west of us for now. The storms in western Tennessee right now are supposed to be here in the morning.

      Edit: Latest album is called "Drumless". My bad. The name of their tour is Drummer.

      My gen z cousin & her gf were visiting the last few days. We are a very, very small contingent of queer members of our family & we stick together. She and her gf introduced me to G Flip. They recently attended a concert and said it was the best concert ever. They were playing G Flip in the car and I was impressed by the vocals, the lyrics, the influences, and the percussion (G is also a drummer). I love a nonbinary vocalist (not that we get to hear so many...yet...) because the freedom from gender performance shines forth. I could hear influences from many styles of music I loved in the 90s, but all blended together in a joyfully percussive way. G Flip is rad! I would post a link to some tracks or an album, but there are explicit lyrics which would go against community rules - you can easily search youtube yourself if you're interested; their latest album is called "Drummer". But here is a picture of G who is serving us gorgeous nonbinary vintage Axl Rose!

      Welcome, @MAN8791. I relate to this so much. I'm roughly the same age as you, afab & nonbinary. For decades, I beat myself up for being a "broken" girl/woman. And I tried my darndest for many of those years to perform woman successfully. While outwardly I may have seemed "a success", inwardly the effort and dysphoria caused me so much anxiety, panic, and depression that it eventually became unsustainable. For me, the first step was letting go of identifying as "broken". Next, I allowed myself to be however I am. And very rapidly I felt better - in fact, initially I felt ecstatic. The door was open for me to really learn about self-love and therefore love itself.

      Well, the counter space in the kitchenette is pretty Limited. But also cost, and usefulness. I guess she is mostly right, and it isn't really important.
