The Transcendent Rainbow Cafe - social space for LGBTI members

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 🙂

OH goodness dng...I hope I am not intimidating to you....goodness, I am just another person on here who is doing what they can to hold another in their time of need....just like you are doing!

It's alright Aaronsis, it's just that profile picture intimidates me. lol. irrationally and without any right for it to do so. This is my problem, not yours Aaronsis.

Despite being utterly gorgeous she's all stern and cold and dark looking. I must put aside my bias's in this matter i think, perhaps examining them. You have a good day friend Aaronsis.

Thank you for the feedback dng

I had not thought of Maleficient making my profile seem intimidating but I see very much now what you are saying so I am going to say goodbye to her..lol

I love the Wizard of Oz and have a half sleeve tattoo dedicated to it..so ruby slippers it is!

Perhaps if you told me more about Maleficient, the pic would be less intimidating, or not all good.

You should now I find highly attractive people a bit intimidating. I'm the guy who back in school would often love someone from afar being unable to befriend them because I simply couldn't approach someone who looked so beautiful.

I am fortunately now married to a woman whose beauty doesn't intimidate me!

0300 , clear 3/4 moon ( sleep?), totally calm , -3.8° , 31% . WFTNN x.

Happiest day for everyone & stay warm ❤

Kettle is hot , self serve today . Still in bed LD is snoring snuggled up to my knee ? xxx

D&G , how is your anxiety today ? Hug xx

Sarah dearest friend , have you got any of the muffins left that I sent ? Will send more for tomorrow if you are going to be home ? Red shoes are pretty to ? Probably wear the docs to roller derby though ❤.

What is your plan & vision for today ? Has last week settled for you now and is in a good place ( hugs )? Kids ok?

fb was something I stayed away from forever . Did it many years ago as ------ . Followed 2 trucking pages , that was all . Jo is very careful and tentative . Looked up a lady who had liked a good morning post I put up yesterday . Just looking as I do and like peoples pictures . So many things people photograph . This lady does some gorgeous ones out doors , country , sunrises , sunsets a d frost , fog etc . They are quite stunning , the " you have to be there to capture ones " .

I spent the first decade of this century doing that and living on my boat you can imagine water scenes were often what I did . She does on land what I did on water. ( and of course aviation ).Rambling ???

Today is freezing so far , a big one for us ! Will get up soon and begin . HRS is not going to like it when she emerges from under the quilt . Ears tingling .

Peace warmth and love to you & yours Sarah & 1,2&3 of course . hugs ( eternal ) xxx ❤❤❤🐾💃🌈🍩

As the ice thickens outside another day begins , love and peace to everyone from the never never , Jo&HRS/LD ❤🐾💃🌈

Good early morning Jo3.

The eternal War continues, but > My anxiety is mine to command, it goes round and round, up and down, inside in, inside out and back to front, small or large, all or none, a bit before and none behind!

How's yours?

I'm still thinking about that WFTNN... hmm u haven't given me my hint that I can see?!&*. So I take another punt, a stab in the dark.

D&G , first post page 39 !

Lol Jo&LD

Hello my friends, I can just imagine you there snoring LD, so adorable xx

Oh I love that you sent me muffins, how very sweet of you, I can imagine that the package was sealed with a special little lick too....thanks Taffy xx

Yes the red shoes are so very pretty and while Docs are probably my favorite, I am happy with any shoes to be honest as they really are my obsession, and why I think I was given size 11 as I would own waaay too many pairs of shoes!

I love that you are making some great connections of FB and that you feel comfortable in that space too, so very proud of you! I mostly post rubbish..lol..lots of memes and sometimes mental health stuff that touches me but mostly not anything of too much importance!

I don't really have anything of wonder to report today, as we are in lockdown the daily grind is pretty much just working from home, the occasional trip to the shops and then watching some junk on TV or reading at night, then press repeat for the next day..lol...I am kind of enjoying the peace though as there has been alot on lately and I feel like I can just take some time to do things slowly, that I don't have to dress in the morning and can have as many coffees as I like..lol

Today there is something very special happening for you, infact it may be happening as I type and I am super happy to hear all about it tomorrow..hopefully if you want to share that is. Either way I hope today has been so wonderful for you and that you have felt the love and support of the journey.

Well tomorrow is muffin day and I will be in the office to make sure I have my chai and my muffin so I am really looking forward to that..sad huh..lol

Chat soon my friends and stay warm and keep that kettle on the boil, I will be there one day..lol

Hugs to you both

Sarah xxx

hello to all , my first and most impressive post must have got dumped, surprise so I switched cafe, just can't bare to be away from all the fun. So WHO on earth ever decided that Hell was hot? I am thinking on this 7' degree day that they was Wrong! Hell is forgetting to accept and release emotions Hell is my tone deaf husband learning guitar and Hell is the pain I feel when accepting that I can not save someone. Just beyond my reach like that there sugar bowl, why thankyou kind stranger do you come here much?

0345 , cloudy low but steady , north easterly 5 to 10knts , 10° , 34% . WFTNN x .

Happiest day for everyone served with love from the never never xxxx

Amber, ❤ hugs ( as many as you need or want ) . Honestly I can only imagine what you all in the southern lockdowns are feeling like by now . Miserable temperatures are the pits on top of the rest xxxxxx ❤ more hugs and warm soup !

D&G , hope you have had some good rest to recharge . Toothache ? Stay warm , xxxx hugs and warm soup !

Sarah , enjoy that muffin 🍩 & chai , have one for me xxxxx . Stay warm and choose so very wisely in the wardrobe ❤. Happy day to you and yours dear friend . 1,2&3 still have the kids to annoy 😂. Happy safe warm chai & 🍩 muffin day . ( sent 14 and someone 🐾 ate some ?) Lol special lady xxxxxx hugs ❤❤❤🐾💃🌈 us !

Left home at about 0540 and came home through the gate @ 2100 . A very nice day . The chemist at W where I go now to gp gave me az shot & he is very rainbow supportive ❤ . Then on to hospital clinic where gp M is . Skin check & chats , so enjoy going there ❤👍.

Next back to town 130 east of here . T the superpsych at 1530 . Wish could send pics she took for me xxx ( wore a lovely stripped pink grey & green hoody jumper )( baby steps ❤) all day . Coordinating the meeting was a bit of a shambles but all of a sudden there were 4 of us under a bottle tree chatting . Was so productive and inspiring . The consensus at conclusion was lets make it happen and we can tweak it on the way when necessary . One place we will use is across the road from pizza shop . I was saying have been dying for a pizza for so long , they rang and ordered one for me , when they left I went and got pizza and sat in the back of Mr A and ate it all while he warmed up .

Official temp Wed night was -3.7 feels like -7.7 . Getting Mr A ready in morning only took 10 mins & no feeling in hands and feet .👎

Thank you everyone for your invaluable company , so much love to all from the never never , Jo&HRS/LD . hugs & xxxxx ❤❤❤🐾💃🌈🌥
