It's Friday night. I'm dressed to the hilt. I'm sitting home ALONE having a glass of delicious wine wishing I wasn't alone ? It'd be nice to meet some locals like myself whom are discreet and would just like to hangout with like minded. Seems everyone on CL is trashy or not real. I mean seriously nude or xxx pics on CL are so not classy, disgusting and such a turn off. 

What's everyone else doing on a Friday night? If I looked like i did 20 years ago I'd be heading to the '90's for a night of fun in the big city ?

Dressed to the nines always feels so good. Tonight my kids and I  are celebrating my original belly button birthday. We are at the park playing basketball. My little hiney was freezing so I'm warming in my truck and posting here. I got cards and a gift,  they made me laugh and cry from pure happiness.

My new girl birthday is in June and my clean and sober birthday is in January. Guess I'll be crying and smiling slot.

Enjoy yourself, thanks for the thread. Hug. JodyAnn

Well Redjezika, I think we're doing something similar.  I had all these plans tonight to go to the village Christmas tree lighting, and then to Balboa Park for the December Nights.  Instead, my project for the day took wayyyyyy too long and I'm at a point where I'm gonna sit back, warm up, and watch some basketball.  My honey is out of town this weekend and she's so worried that I'm not gonna eat and that I'm gonna sit home all by myself.  I said, "oh no...I got lots of plans."   Nothing to eat and sitting home all by myself.  LOL!!  But I'm happy.  :-)

Hiney was freezing? Should've been hustling a little more on the court ??? wink wink wink happy birthday babe

Thank you Kiddo.

With 115deg summers anything below fifty degrees is time for my pink thermals. I  was out there in tights and a blouse. I would have to run like a cheetah to overcome that. Giggle.

Tonight's update before I  fall out. The kids put up the Christmas tree. I  bought myself a birthday present, Jimmy Stewart in The spirit of St Louis. I'm  a lollipop for old movies. I'll help him build the plane and then fly off to dreamland, probably mid movie.

Geez, I don't have a very  exciting life... just a grateful one.

Well, let's see how many events I can work before the end of the year. I want my Christmas present from me to be new pink Riedell Dart roller skates. No, seriously! It will be the official start of my second childhood. I hope I don't break my hiney, frozen would be better.

Yes Virginia, I will have all the derby gear before I  venture down the sidewalk. I will liven up this old retirement park yet!  Giggle. Nite all... Zzzzzz

I went to the meeting last night(Friday) where my gender issues and sobriety learned to live together.  The leader didn't show so i picked a topic from a publication called "Glad Day" from the Hazzelton group. (sp).  It was all about change and sharing that change with others to help both them and yourself.  Made me think of Laura's.  What a great group of folks were there.  I was happy to be able to share my story of self acceptance and see others do the same.

 

Hugs,

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Pity that we can't just respect each other and get along.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
