The Transcendent Rainbow Cafe - social space for LGBTI members

[Paul]

It would be so great to have a thread here where we can chat about almost anything. We can have fun, tell jokes, share stories, you name it!

There's a "BB Cafe" thread in the general area where lots of people chat daily and have established some nice light hearted conversations, it's treated as if it's a real cafe, there's even virtual baked goods and coffee!

Let's create a chat here for anyone to join, in particular the GLBTIQ community to let their collective hair down and chill out. It's a safe space to be yourself.

We just need a name 🙂

Hello wonderful world I rebound well for an old chook sometimes the moon brings for me, moon dust which helps to whisk away things that I can not change. Jo my Pa is my grandpa he was my male role model and I have his belongings some are clip locked, so I can go smell his hat etc. when I need his strength. There are no words to explain his mark on me. So glad the BBQ was good it is so nice to meet like minded souls, like the amazing people who post here. D&G your posts are always so delightful and Sarah so graceful, this site is better than any news site hands down. Jo, it is a shame if your emotional needs were not met as a child and I understand taking that emptiness and instinctually filling it with the wonders of nature. Your natural instincts and your resilience continue to this day and you impress me with your fabulous imagination. On the fly, bye

Hello to all who visit the rainbow cafe, LD's tummy is a bit of a worry is it an allergy? I give Diva rescue remedy if she doesn't eat well the stuff seems to relax her and then she usually eats. When she doesn't eat she is prone to low sugar levels and her behavior worsens. Moby is as healthy as a horse, unlike my hubby who took an antibiotic with booze and is currently quite ill. I am taking today off work incase he worsens, he is suffering a toxic reaction and since 2 am I have been pushing fluids. At 55yrs the affects of 38years of hard drinking are beginning to show. Also I am relieved for the excuse to not have to see the 3 new recruits. They don't listen and they insulted me all morning so I gave them to an older male worker for the afternoon. Resulting in a first aide incident 2 vomiting and 1 suffered mild shock. I guess they really annoyed the fellow who took over for me. This helping boys at risk is my boss' wives idea but she put it all on us. The meat works is a stressful occupation so putting a negative pressure on top is ludicrous. Yesterday when I ignored their petty insults they actually go worse and insulted my appearance. The worst bit was I had to write it all up in a report. Days like yesterday make me want to step down from responsibilities and return to working on the meat production line. So I will play nurse to silly sick husband and Jo will nurse baby LD and may the sunshine bring a new lite to chase away the dark. I might even bake a sultans cake using golden syrup and wallow in the bath like a happy hippo. Best day for all and best wishes to all.

Hello again to day, I went shopping and got my husband a mug that says ' good morning handsome' then I asked him what he wanted and he said ' sultana cake' deja vu, we have that a lot. He eventually unravels his pent up thoughts. My sultana cake does magical things, so he wants us to move house. He wants us to retire early. Sometimes I wish big, so I say sure if it works out on paper why not. He's done the math he's no fool. My big wish was to open a womens gym, with a circuit of exercise machines that target female problem areas. But he hates my idea and says I should focus on myself. He wants a house near the water, don't we all sweetheart ! I I think he wants to wind our circle tighter now that, I had not seen coming. Oh and he prefers a french bulldog rather than a rottweiler. This makes me laugh he probably wants a frechie to blame for his habitual farting! So I am thinking maybe he has a fever and is talking silly or is it my future is about to change? Diva is standing by her man today she wont leave his side, I bet he fed her cake! Moby and I took the lambs for a walk and I saw two female sleepy lizards, springtime around the corner. I do hope LD and Jo are ok and D&G, I attempted another line in the sassy lady story. To any others in the rainbow cafe thanks for dropping by, my feelings about the above is I am sad he is ill but I am glad he tells me his hopes and dreams. Check you later.

Hi everyone , it feels much like the collective consciousness is in turmoil at this time ? So many people I know are not in their comfort places , what is happening globally and locally is and must I suspect be affecting every one of us .

On top of the pandemic is the climate change issue and I for one am pensive about such a lot at present . Here I have local issues that seem unresolvable & unfair ? Maybe karma ? I have tried very hard to live life leaving only love behind me and good ripples on the pond ? Perhaps there,was something I didn't see or notice ?👎

I keep in touch with quite a few old & new friends and the bulk are confused at best & sad at worst ? They nearly all are glass half full ?? I wish we could all join hands and feel the connection that brings, and lift back up and feed that back into the grid ❤❤❤❤❤

Amber dear , that is huge in your last post ❤. I get the total confusion ( temporary ) that would create . hugs . is Diva a mans dog,? My first LD was mine and only mine but LD now prefers male humans ? ( she loves everybody) No wonder she kicks me at night in bed and wakes me as,I am definitely not who I was . I'm her human , that works for both of us ! Lol & thinking of you ❤❤❤

Sarah , hello beautiful lady . Your extent of care and love for others makes you a legend to me . I am honoured to be regarded as a friend & in awe that you can fit all this in and be who you are 🌠.

How,are you fairing with so many huge changes,we have had in recent times ? hugs ( eternal) ❤❤❤❤❤

Things out here looked like business as usual till last few months , then something changed ? Not only my life but the community itself ? Sundays bbq was breath of fresh air ,mostly younger people but so positive ❤

Much love peace &positivity for you all & for that matter the world . From the never never on the oasis in space lol Jo&HRS/LD xxxxxxx hugs (ps) ❤❤❤🐾💃🌈☕🍩🍫

Hello beautiful world, Diva is a Diva dog all her choices are Diva centered, you gotta love the tough cookie! Like me she is not normal I have autism and I find it hard to avoid offending others. That is why Diva is such an inspiration, she has built a wall higher and wider than anything Trump envisaged. I am locked out of the collective turmoil you mention. I used to want to belong to feel and understand but it is impossible. My attention can be limited and I do not understand karma it seems improbable, only a human mind can carry a memory through time and reconsider the meaning, the what ifs are such a pain. I think it is a sad shame if people can not even try to respectfully accept each others. And really rejection is negativity so it is good if they keep it, until they find resolution. Bug bears: moments of discomfort , I try to let the bear pass without contact. Jo , I think your energy will repay you with good and all that you do matters, our world revolves slowly but it all counts.

Rain rain don't go away - rain has hit the district from outside of work I can hear car horns honking, we have had two surprise showers and god willing, more to come. I have asked my hubby to go get a covid test as he was away recently, when I just rang home it rang out and I really hope he is not hiding in the shed, or we go tonight. Wishing everyone hope and love, ain't it good to be alive.

Hello everyone , comfortable content happy day for you all . Much love to everyone and hugs if wanted . Thinking heaps about those of you in lockdown xxxxx ❤❤❤

LD is curled up on the bed surrounded by soft sleeping bag dozing ready to leap into action and take orders . We wish ! Wouldn't we have a hoot running a little roadhouse in the never never !❤ Hot drinks and toast perhaps ? Buttered with a little bit of ghee & a thin bit of dark miso on top . ( our version of Vegemite on toast ) ❤❤❤

Hi everyone ❤. Amber thank you again , you give us smiles,and grins with laughs to . Your view of the world around you is unique & so refreshing . How are you going with thoughts and emotions of possible moving ? That is huge !

Did you have time to do a rain dance ? Did your husband get test ? You speak of bug bears , I so wish that I could dodge that stuff . I live with anxiety and when there are lots or constant bears it can get very turbulent & sometimes worrisome . Happy day & heart for you & husband , Moby , Diva & lambs . hugs xxxx ❤❤❤❤❤

Sarah our very dear friend , I must apologize as have been so pandemicked out have not seen current info on your city ? Hope spring is starting to get visible although I see so many intense lows clipping the south west of WA & flowing across the continent ? We are having Northerlies now which means another cold blast in coming days for us .

Have a job out of city on the hill west of Bris on Monday morning . Might knock it off in 1 day ? 500 km , depends on when loaded ? Had a,talk with K on phone yesterday & he was telling me how many people want us to drop price , we can a bit for regulars but not the blow ins. Seems the amount of money out there has shrunk in last 2 years . LD reckons she wants to stay hone and watch tv ? Not happening !

A very warm safe happy day for you & yours & of course 1,2&3 hugs xxxx ❤❤❤❤❤ lol ☕🍩🌠

Much love and peace to you all and thank you for your company , xxxxx hugs ( many ) from the never never , lol Jo&HRS/LD ❤❤❤❤❤🐾💃🌈🌥

Good morning amazing world, An imaginary road house this I would name 'LD ROCKS' good food and great company! I to get anxiety it feels like something bad might happen and so to stop the drama I choose avoidance, now I am older I can easily predict my triggers. I guess when I am eighty I will have this anxiety thing 'in the bag' now that is something to look forward to. ' Who is that amazingly happy old lady?' I took Hubby for a covid test last night, because of watching to much News he thought it would be Really Difficult. All it took was the promise of a box of KFC to get him in the car, Moby will do the same request automatically if I just open the car door. So the dogs and us went to town, I felt bad for high density city dwellers because we were through in 30 minutes. But it is a different life out hear, with one hand we are given and with the other we have it taken. About moving, I am leaving that one on his plate, he knows what I like and it is his wish so I will not encourage nor discourage but wait and see. To all the good people who pass through hello and good days to you.

A good luck day for everyone & warm happy hearts also . ftnn hugs ❤❤❤

Hot drinks & porridge today . LD is on top of sleeping bag now , warmer night . She didn't come under the sheet with me till 0300 , warm weather nearly here . xxxx hugs (ps) ❤❤❤

Hi Sarah , hoping all is well with you all in Mexico & the warmer weather moves south a bit for you .

We are going to big town ( 130 East ) to do little shop and then anesthetist for week after next . Will be on extra guard today . LD better take her Vampire teeth in case we encounter a highwayman ?

Take it quietly today dear friend ( you know what day it is !)( give yourself a 🍩&☕) & enjoy every minute of it xxxx hugs ❤❤❤

Hi Amber , you are so right about the giving with one hand and taking with the other . Probably always been . Can't remember it any different . Are you near any of the LGA's that are now locked down . I guess its silly but the tension builds each time it goes further on the map . Only 500 from us now & our health system as yours is, is sparse if it takes off . Will wear a mask in big town today ?

Love the bribe to get hubby in the car . Aren't dogs so very clever . Cheers Moby xxx .

You could start teaching , to recognize triggers and dodge the big bit . There is a huge need for people who can connect with stuff like that . I know some of my triggers but old habit of denial creeps in often , then it ends up worse than it should . I am slow to learn , stubborn if you will . Change sometimes is difficult ? Silly me eh ?

Right now my brain just sent a little video , sitting in the cockpit of my darling little 32 foot yawl , a calm sea , miles away from shipping lanes and hundreds of miles from land . At this hour waiting for daylight again ! Broken cloud , mid level and stationary with some moon tinting the scene silver . 1 Albatross hanging nearby . Sails furled . No roll & so quiet , lapping on hill when a little puff of breeze passes by . So serene . It is easy to not forget those times ! xxxxx ❤❤❤❤❤❤

The light will begin soon , new day , new light , new warmth & new breeze ❤. Love peace & calm happy heart for all & all the world , from the never never , lol Jo&HRS/LD hugs (ps) xxxxx ❤❤❤🐾💃🌈🌥☕🍩
