Here are two serious thoughts,

You can't change the people around you so change the people around you!

We are so often too busy doing the things that don't matter that we miss the things that do - follow your heart.

When you are down to the last m&m you are pretty much stuck with just an m.

I tried to be serious, I did the two as promised, but I just couldn't help myself.

Love ya,

Sally

Listen up out there!

Taps impatiently on inside of computer monitors across the playground!

When you are averaging less than one thought a week you need feedback!

Help me out here, I'm starving for attention! (Judging from my waistline, I'm not starving for anything else!)

Wiping finger prints from inside of monitor screens.

I do love you, all of you,

Well it's been a week and time for my thought for the day (I am a very slow but deep thinker - not Deep Thought, Kelly Ann).

I have decided that it is time to put a stop to apathy, if you would like to help let me know, whenever you feel like it - no rush.

I'll just be over here napping.

I'd love to respond to your thought, but I'll do it when and if I can get around to it. Too many things I have to do before that, but I can't remember what they are... B)

I agree. I feel like the following bit of doggerel applies to me:

A man has a little Liszt,

He doesn't know where it iszt,

He is sure it will be miszt.

(My dad loved this rhyming quip.)

Since you are our writer in residence......Sir Are You Speaking In the Past Tense?

Past Tents, Oh no we're way past that we're sleeping in Bungalows.

Who said that?

And in what movie?

While we are bombarded by the media about the violence, hate and greed in the world, I am amazed to see the generousity and kindness that so many of us display each day.

Look around you when you go out each day, how many people do you see that are going about their own lifes without bothering anyone else.

When I was in college we had an all to rare snowstorm overnight and I had a rather steep hill to climb - the few sand trucks had not made it here yet.

The cars ahead of me had stopped on the traffic signal and were stuck - I have always been a kind hearted person so I got out of my car and went to the car at the top of the hill and started to push, two more men came to help.

We pushed nine cars up the hill and everyone had left when I got to my car and it was stuck in the snow - 1973 Camaros had no weight in the rear and traction was iffy in a slight dew.

I had helped everyone else and now I was stuck - perfect!

I looked up and one of the men that jhad helped push the other cars was approaching my car the other was sliding down behind me on the other side - they had walked back down the hill to help me - an act of kindness that I have remembered for thirty six years so far - I never knew their names but I can never forget the laughter and fun we shared pushing those cars - the sheer joy of helping and then to be helped - that's what life is about and what goes on every day but doesn't make the news.

Love for all,

Sally

I haven't thought for a while so my head doesn't hurt and I've been pretty happy, but gosh darn it - someone made me think and it has been such a downer!

I always try to find the bright side but sometimes I realize that it is impossible to see the bright side in total darkness!

Like finding a rainbow in a thunderstorm at night!

Sometimes I feeling I'm in living in a cave and not the pretty Carlsbad Caverns sort to cave but the small holes that Bears like to hibernate in.

I don't want to be hibernating!

I have spent so long in the caterpillar and chrysalis stages - I am ready to be a butterfly!

Why do there always have to be so many obstacles?

And why do I always have to worry so much about how others feel when it is my life?

Every time that I am forced tor re-evaluate my life I am more determined to transition than before.

Money may not be the root of all evils, but the lack of money can certainly prolong them!

"Those weren't funny at all, Sally!

We all come here for you to cheer us up!"

Well life is tough and then you die!

"Not what we were looking for!"

OK, Some people see the glass as half empty, others see it as half full and I just see it as dirty!

"Not going to accept that!"

Alright, If a plane crashes on the Canadian and United States border, on which side do you bury the survivors?

Neither you never bury the survivors! (They tend to fight back more than the others!)

If you build a square building and all four sides have a Southern exposure if a bear walks by, what color is it?

White (you're at the North Pole)

Can I go now?

what's wrong with darkness sometimes? the womb is a dark place, the inside of the chrysalis too

i like thunderstorms, so does RainBird, beauty is simply a change of perspective sometimes

then wake up, you are not a bear, you are a butterfly, and a beautiful one at that

I have spent so long in the caterpillar and chrysalis stages - I am ready to be a butterfly!

that's what all caterpillars say just before they emerge with wings

Why do there always have to be so many obstacles?

if there weren't you would never be strong enough to become who you are

And why do I always have to worry so much about how others feel when it is my life?

because you are a good caring person

Every time that I am forced tor re-evaluate my life I am more determined to transition than before.

good

you don't have to be funny all the time, that's not what we come for, you just have to be yourself, that is why we are here

Well life is tough and then you die!

but so the F*** what, just because it's tough doesn't mean you can't enjoy the ride

"Not what we were looking for!"

OK, Some people see the glass as half empty, others see it as half full and I just see it as dirty!

ok that one is funny :)

that reminds me

when i was a girl

i used to LOVE Rainbow Bright

anyone remember her?

They tried to keep it out of the news but she was in a terrible limousine accident while leaving an awards program.

Sadly there was a little bit of brain damage so she is now known as Rainbow Dull!

A perfect example of VDH! (Very Dark Humor)

Love ya,

Sally

When I was a kid I once thought that half the people were male and the other female. Now I am not so sure.

But I guarantee that sterility is inherited! If your parents cannot have children, neither will you!

Well it's been a couple of weeks now time for another thought for the day.

I just sent a very similar thought to this one in a PM to Jacci, but I thought that we could all use this:

Enjoy today - there's plenty of time to worry later!

Love ya,

Sally

      100% correct!

      That's a great question @Ladypcnj. It gives time for staff to review your line of thinking or replying. You're almost free to comment at will, reaching 5 posts.   Best wishes, stay positive.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
