Well, here I am about two and a half weeks later with another thought for the day - right on schedule!

I know that some of you older members remember the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, but for those who don't they did a lot of political satire on their show.

They had comedian Pat Paulsen running for president and were always making fun of politicians, so what did they do that got their show canceled?

Here is the 'last straw' story from Tommy (from their last show):

Tommy, "There was this far away country where the people were divided into to classes, the peons and the ruling class. The peons did all of the work and the ruling class took all of the profits, it was impossible to move from one class to another."

Richard (who never used the full name but can not get past the word filter), "Why was that, Tommy?"

Tommy, "Why was what?"

Richard, "Why was it impossible to move from one class to another? How could you even tell which class they were from?"

Tommy, "Because of their clothing."

Richard, "Because of their clothing Do you mean that they wore uniforms?"

Tommy, "Did they wear uniforms? Of course not, a whole country wearing uniforms."

Richard, "Well then how?"

Tommy, "The people were identified by the amount of clothing that they wore, the peons didn't have very much money so the didn't wear a lot of clothes, they were called the less-ons. And the people in charge, who had a lot of money wore a lot of really nice clothes and were called more-ons!"

And that was how Tommy discovered that the more-ons were not as stupid as he had thought, not much smarter but enough to understand that they were being called morons!

Now for the thought - When you want the truth and real insight, look to the comedians!

Love ya,

Sally

Sally -- Yep, the Smothers Brothers truly were something else. I don't know for certain, however, I suspect their success led to the emergence of Saturday Night Live a few years later.

Mentioning the Smothers Brothers brought back rather fond memories of the effort my Residence Hall mates and I put into creating euphamistic ways of saying "good bye." In addition to the usual ways of saying it in various languages, we came up with:

"See ya later alligator." "After while, crocodile."

"Make like a tree and leaf."

"Make like an atom and split."

We had some others, but, well, this is a family friendly web site, and I aim to do my part in keeping it that way.

Through the years I have hears an excellent piece of advice for avoiding getting overstressed by having too much to do:

Never do today what can be referred to a committee tomorrow. :D

There are two ways to tell that you have lead a boring life.

When your life is being threatened and you feel that you might die when your life flashes before your eyes:

1) you fall asleep.

2) you realize that it's someone else's life!

Well, I haven't had a thought for a long time so here is one for you.

When you feel that the weight of the world is on your shoulders and everyone is against you, there is no hope for a better future and you can find no reason to ever get out of bed - relax, it just means its Monday! :)

What a way to atart a week.

Love ya,

"USA Today has come out with a new survey - apparently, three out of every four people make up 75% of the population." David Letterman

LOL! I think that's the funniest thing I've heard in a while!

Well, I've had a little sleep and I have come up with a thought!

Last week we celebrated the birth of Superman, the first issue in DC comics in 1938.

We all remember (at least the older ones) the opening of the TV series - faster than -- skip down to the last line and think about it - one word in particular and ask yourself what that really says about us as Americans.

"Fighting for Truth, Justice AND the American Way!"

Why isn't "Fighting for truth and justice" or "Fighting for the American way" enough to cover it?

Love ya,

I liked it Joe!

But if I was going to write an auto biography it would need to be a dooseyberg! (Kind of an old reference to a cr that has been gone a long time)

I knew a lady that wrote her autobiography and had it published by one of those vanity publishing companies.

The only problem was that it seemed not to be the actual story of her life but the story of how she wished her life had been.

It would be like me writing my autobiography and reminiscing about when I was a little girl.

Love ya,

Sally

It has been a long time with out a thought but I came up with a good one.

We all know that optimist see a glass as half full and pessimist see it as half empty.

When I am thirsty I don't care if it is half full or half empty as long as it is clean!

Love ya,

It's time for my thought for the month ( a thought each day is just way too much thinking for me):

Why do they make most lemonade using artificial flavors but dishwashing liquid is always made with real lemon juice?

Love ya,

Sally

Guest AshleeB

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

That's awesome! It's nice to know that there are still some helpful people ^^

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

LOL that made me laugh a lot

I have a thought for everyone...

As they say all good things must come to an end, but shouldn't that apply to all bad things too?

Random comment: I love the title of this thread. Especially the part where it says "maybe not words to live by" , it sounds like one of those cheesy weekly skits on SNL like "lowered expectations" lol.

It is really more of a disclaimer like on the paid programming on TV - the contents of this program are those of the purchaser and not necessarily those of this station.

It gives me an out in case someone decides to drink their dish washing liquid and wash their pots and pans with lemonade!

      I've actually seen a lot of people who at least tolerate the LGB and not the T. There's also some of the gay/lesbian population that, unfortunately, alienate trans people away from other parts of the community.   To me, the biggest block is probably the lack of formal exposure. If people aren't taught about LGBT they will, just like any other topic, come to misunderstandings and more. Besides, how can most LGBT people figure out that they are such if they don't know it exists? I know that, personally, I didn't realize I was a guy rather than just someone who wanted to be a guy until I was introduced to trans as a concept

      You're welcome. I wanted to post something new that I haven't posted yet.

      That's a lot of weight congratulations. I was almost about to become a K9 handler in the Air Force back in 2006 but I found out that once you get promoted to E7 you lose your dog. You can get it at E4 as long as they need them but it is usually E5. If you don't understand military jargon, I'll help you out. I didn't want to join the Marines because I actually like to be treated better. I was Security Forces and performed security, law enforcement and everything you could think of such as convoying, fire fights, search pit just to name some. It also helped that I had family that was Air Force and I went through Air Force Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps so I knew the basics of Air Force already. That's awesome that you have goals in life. I hope you get it.

      Not sure what category I'd call this—don't care—I like American music. Any American. Thanks, @Ashley0616

      @FelixThePickleManTrust me I know the feeling. I didn't have the guts to come out that young. It wasn't well known back then. I knew I felt completely wrong. I knew for sure my parents weren't going to help me so I hid it all. It hurt a lot to live a lie. I always pretended to be the female that I was dating. I prayed and cried every night. It's not easy because bullying has always been around and the teachers didn't really care about that stuff back then.    You can make it through this. I would like to help you out just like I have with previous members. It's going to be up to you if you would like it. It's not going to happen overnight I can promise you that. For every negative thing or comment it typically needs double the number for positive things to feel better about yourself. You unfortunately are living with your parents which they are getting used to you coming out too. Sometimes coming out you're going to lose a lot of support. I lost over 40 family members but I'm happier than what I was. I still look at the mirror and still have my issues which is typical because we know our own faults and short comings. You have to value yourself. There isn't going to be an easy life. We all face many obstacles and it's harder for the ones that have something else to deal with.   We aren't in the same boat as some people are in yachts, cruise ships, and so on. There are perks and cons to each one. The best thing is to find something that you are great at and focus on that while trying to improve on the little things. Some have rituals everyday such as a new Bible verse that is related to what you are going through or a poem there are many poems for everything.

      G'day @Vivelacors   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I hope you find this place as informative and helpful as I do.   Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Tonight we will split a thick cut ribeye steak grilled outside, along with fresh asparagus shoots, apple sauce, and fresh cucumber salad. The steak has already been seasoned, wrapped in butcher paper resting to room temperature. The cucumber salad is blended and resting in the refrigerator.   Tomorrow's dinner will be Chicken drumsticks (skin on) that are already marinating in Zesty Italian dressing. Tomorrow I will smoke the drumsticks with apple-wood smoke, before crisping them up on the grill. We'll also have grilling beans, and garlic mashed potatoes.   The outside kitchen is now open.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Clutching of pearls because people that don’t “align with society” party to excess is part of the problem, not a symptom of one. Cis-het folks are out there airing their sexuality, reveling in their debauchery, and displaying general anti-social behaviors all the time but aren’t reacted to in the same manner.   The most important T in this conversation is Time. As long as there is not a fascist, violent, crackdown on LGBTQ+ people, our exposure to society (at least in Western society) will continue to move it towards our acceptance.

      I have three within a two block walk! You'd think I was in Seattle already! The one I have always gone to is the quintessential "local coffee shop" though; local artist's works on the wall, drinks named after customers and local geography, and it's run down just enough to feel homey. Also, I can bring my 20oz coffee mug in and get it filled for the price of a small! :D

      Eczema was my excuse. *high fives!*   It's lovely when you get a nice interaction like that. Yesterday I got a "you're so sweet" from a man who I held the door for, I don't think he saw all of me until after he'd walked past so he only picked up on my outfit and body appearance. I was so paranoid that I used too male of a voice in return, but c'est la vie. I felt really nice after it though.   I tend to try to put in a lot of effort. If I wear make up, it has to be perfect, etc. I put this pressure on myself because I, too, don't have a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks at "passing".  So, I try not to make myself an "easy target".

      It's just the opposite here.  There are a ton of local boutique coffee roasters in this area.  There is no excuse for bad coffee here, which is why I am always surprised when I get mediocre truck-stop coffee in restaurants.

      It’s a huge difference, the laser has done wonders. I still have some stragglers, but I hope a few more sessions to try to zap those. Mostly what’s left are the white/blonde hairs, they still need a shave but they don’t really cause me much dysphoria.   I do use makeup, I barely go out without liner and mascara these days. Don’t tend to do a full face, but when I go for a little coverage I use tinted moisturizer and a little concealer under setting powder. Here’s me today, with about as much makeup as I go out with (forgive me the wings, I struggled today…), I went and got my hair done, so I had to look good for the ladies.
