I would be fine with that! Haha.

I put it on there because I'm bisexual, and it is one of my favorite sayings! Do you need the code?


Here it is, just remove all the underscores (_). I couldn't get the code tags to work:

Whew, that was hard to do on a phone!

 

[pbl_ge]

Whoohoo! Got it, thanks!!!!

I'm a bit curvy, but mostly straight, but I have concluded that I am homophilic. By this I mean to say that when I walk into a room and pick out the person I want to talk to/be friends with, there's about a 99% chance they're queer. I don't think I have good gaydar, but I'm just more interesting in non-straight people, apparently. This goes all the way back to grade school for me, as it seems the majority of my friends even then later came out as something or another.

Hi to everyone else!!!

 

[GingerPanda]

Haha, that's great!

DH and I are 100% monogamous, but we still have fun were we talk about attractive women that we see out and about and rate them.

Oh! Have you watched Sassy Gay Friend on YouTube? I loooooove him!

 

[pbl_ge]

Oh, the extra woman in the bed--my OH's most treasured dream. Maybe a tenth anniversary present?

Hehe -- had never seen this. Googled a random one, and it seemed germane, on multiple levels, to this thread:

[GingerPanda]

That's one of my favorite ones! But I love all of them. Haha.


My DH gave me "permission" to "have fun" with one of my friends, who is also bi... but now she's engaged, and her fiance is not cool with it!

 

[Sbmack]

I love 'curvy'. I guess that would be me too.

 

[GingerPanda]

Well, ladies... I think I took longer to O than I thought I did and tested too early. Pretty sure it's been more than a week since I tested last.

Today is the day AF is due! Usually she's here before I wake up in the morning, because she likes to have a go at ruining my sheets. But so far, she's a no-show!

Waiting til Saturday morning to test, though. DH wants to be there every time I test, and he's out of town for work until Friday night. We'll see if AF comes to visit before then or not!

Save me from the religious posts on my news feed. So hard not to say anything when they are covered in threats towards people non religious.

Heh! I can't save you from that, unfortunately. The best I was ever able to do was put a 7-hour travel distance between the family and myself.

They dance with snakes and perform "exorcisms" with styrofoam cups of water from the church tap. I'm over it.

I see you're from Northern Ireland. Is it the Catholics troubling you? My family is of Irish heritage. I wish they'd just stayed Catholic instead of converting to Southern-Baptist and whatever else backwoods moonshiner sect of Christianity the snake-dancers are. I got banned from my grandmother's church for telling the children that not all gay people were bad.

lol I was born catholic, or rather made catholic. No just a few facebook friends of the fam with the angels and god stuff. I must hide them. I dont comment as that wouldnt be right, I dont post atheist stuff on my page either but I am sure they see things I like appearing on their feed. I had a few delete me and call me names once they looked at my info section where I do not hide I am atheist. Someone found out on the facebook page I owned when it was visable to public that bit and literally left the page with disgust towards admins believes, its a parenting page I do not hold it against any one what they are but by hell do some thing atheist is a dirty word. Or that I must hate them. I mean its hard having to see threats on my news feed of believe me or else burn in hell, that takes some amount of fist in mouth to pass by.

Welcome Dragonfly!

Save me from the religious posts on my news feed. So hard not to say anything when they are covered in threats towards people non religious.

I know how you feel. My retaliation to keep my sanity was to join several of the anti-religion, atheist comedy and secular Humanist groups so my newsfeed contains more Religion Is Bullshit post then you're going to hell posts lol. The think I hate the most on religion lately is the Connecticut shooting, some church people are implying or actually saying that if "god" was "allowed in school" it wouldn't happen. Are you fucking kidding me? Didn't "god" supposedly give man "freewill" so he can't do anything anyways. May have rambled on a bit but it really pisses me off when people are in suffering because they've just lost their children and the church turns it around and basically says its your fault

UGH. That is one thing that has been making me batshit crazy lately. Shootings happen in churches, too. Perhaps it wouldn't happen if God were allowed in church?

I love my religious friends, but it drives me nuts when people completely disregard things that can be done to prevent situations like that (ie- better gun control) in favor of complaining that it is because "god isn't allowed in public schools". Cheese and crackers, people.

Yeah, I read a couple of stories about church shootings. What did the churches say then "Well, god have us free will" would be my guess.
And yeah, unfortunately DF and his family are Catholics but they aren't to bad except his 13 year old sister, she is such a bible thumper. She told me once that if she was her brother she wouldn't marry me because I was an atheist and Catholics can't marry atheists. She loves me she's just very outspoken. DF good though, he doesn't go to church or talk about it, has premarital sex and is ttc before we are married. He does like religious songs and prayed for me when I was in the hospital. I was like "gross, don't do that, the doctors will do their job"

 

[pbl_ge]

Yeah. That "God couldn't help Newtown because prayers is not in schools" BS was pretty appalling. Fortunately, most Christians are not that stupid, and the outcry from the believers was as loud as from the non-believers. Huckabee, the loudest opiner of that nonsense, has also blamed the shooting on abortion pills and gays.

I have tons of respect for Christians who are thoughtful and nonjudgmental about their religion. (Obviously, I respect other religions, too, but 99% of the religious people I encounter are Christians.) I have very little respect for people who spout that sort of hateful garbage.

 

[Sbmack]

Ginger, that's crazy that you got banned from church for telling children the truth. Good for you!

And Babyrogers, I love that you told your guy not to pray because the doctors will do their job. So true! I'd like to say that to my Catholic grandma, but she'd probably cry for days because if she knew I didn't believe in god then she'll think I'm going to hell.

Huckabee needs to get a roundhouse to the face from Chuck Norris!

 

[GingerPanda]

Yeah, Huckabee and his ilk irritate me.

Note to the hateful politicians: It's simple!

1. Don't like gays? Don't fuck one!
2. Don't want people to know you DO like gays? Don't get caught foot-tapping sex code in the airport loo!
3. I don't think "Socialist" means what you think it means.

Lol. I hated Tennessee. My senior year of high school, two first-cousins dated each other, and everyone thought they were such a "cute couple". Two of my female friends started dating, and parents actually PULLED THEIR KIDS FROM SCHOOL.

 

[pbl_ge]

I just need to go on record as saying that I'm an native Tennessean, and I LOVED living in Nashville. There's definitely a preponderance of "bible-thumpers" outside of the towns, but I had a wonderful, queer-friendly crowd in TN. There are tons of great, open-hearted folks, too.



WHERE'S MY RAINBOW EMOTICON?!?!?!?

Holy crap! I was born in Nashville and lived about 25 minutes away until I was 18! Haha, small world!
