yeah, that first one is the hardest... time softens the sharp corners... hope you all have a peaceful day xo

Day went mostly ok. Started by seeing my last living Aunt -- she just called to say the cookies were delicious and she had to hide them from my diabetic Uncle [she knows they have molasses w. a powdered sugar frosting - so not exactly sugar free - but said, "sometimes he has to learn the hard way."

Then went to my brother [M] & sister-in-law [C].  Told them about the wedding; M took me to see dad leaving SP w C who told him "they" were disappointed I'd not said anything before [by "they" she means her] and didn't know what to say when we were at the hospital.

Wanted to say, "how about any of the 40 things you'd normally ask a new couple?" but bit my tongue. ‼️

Going to drive around town now and look at Christmas Lights. 🎄

I understand, Fae.

We walk a line with such family. We want to avoid upsetting them, avoid causing a fuss. We try to make it so we are not a "thing". So that we can just be, like anybody else.

But it's so hard when they won't let us. When we are, by default "different".

So, I'll ask. Are you getting a place together - someplace new you will both share?

You are just like anyone else. WE all are.  This pisses me off, this thing too many straight people do .. like pat Gay bros or sisters on the head, like they need to be indulged.  That we have disappointed them.. well, maybe we should tell them how they disappointed US! 

 

Sorry..  Merry Christmas all. 

 

Live your life.. fk the rest of em.

Don't be sorry.

I guess it's a matter of trading our willingness to stand tall alone, or a little smaller surrounded by those who love but don't quite understand - not yet. But if given time, maybe they will.

How does a person make such a choice? There's a cost, no matter which way you go.

Honestly, I'm glad you didn't have to. I have no doubt you could have, but ... yeah. What a world if none of us had to.

good night, Sirs and friends

 

[Wayne Gray]

Merry Christmas, everyone.

May it be filled with light, and more than you could ever hope. Be careful, but be joyful too.

There's still a lot to celebrate.

@Mikiesboy I wish for you a wonderful day, my friend xoxo

It seems that the earthquake was caused by a potential volcano eruption a hundred kilometers away from here. Exactly December last year it was active for a month and erupted around January. That monster has awakened again. It’s scary because it’s a brother to Yellowstone and potentially as disastrous. Our city could literally be wiped off the map if that thing went all out. It could hit VEI 7 or 8. The whole thing is approx equal to 5 Manhattans worth of land area.
 

2020 just reminded us this disastrous year isn’t over. Sorry to be a bringer of grim news on Christmad Eve. I could barely sleep will these stuff going around. 😓

[rickproehl]

Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends.

Just wanting to Say Merry Christmas, 

tim Happy Birthday and best wishes enjoy your day.

[kbois]

It's not about the presents and all the "stuff" that goes along with the day. Its about love. Husband, wife, children, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, cousins, boyfriend, girlfriend and just plain friends. 

Love doesn't discriminate. It never has. 

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄

Happy Birthday tim! 🥳

Honestly, I'm glad you didn't have to. I have no doubt you could have, but ... yeah. What a world if none of us had to.

Is it a little smaller though?  Maybe for some, i guess each needs to deal with what we're handed.

We, as in society, need to get over who i love and what is 'normal'.  If you really cut away the top layers and look at the world around us, straightness is not 'normal'. It is just is one of ways humans live. Obsessed straight people should look at the life on this planet and find out just how un'normal' their lifestyle is. And considering that they say it's normal, they certainly can't make it work very often. They marry, then divorce as soon as possible in so many instances. Often due to breaking their own rules of monogamy and fidelity. Hmmm, maybe it's not so 'normal' then, eh?

To me, families are not normal, they are not usually good. Family is always represented that they are the ties that bind. They are unless you mess with DA RULES. Then, not so much.  That was my family after my mother died.  I am better off out of it.

I miss my mother, but the rest... not so much.

Michael has a wildebeest family. They gather together, differences forgotten when they are threatened. Their love for each other is Mount Everest, a force 10 hurricane. And you are welcome there no matter what.

With all that said ... Merry Christmas.

Hold on, my friend. Nature does not care about the year or the season. Forget that stuff and just make sure you and your family are okay. xoxo

Getting a new place that is "ours" is the goal.  We need to get his place remodeled (was his parents and hasn't been updated since the 60's), then we'll live there for awhile and rent this place out until we have the $$$$$$$ saved for a down-payment on a new place.
