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 Jo, LD, ilyLane, & ALL!

I feel honoured to have been a very small part of your journeys, mostly from the side-lines, but I'm glad if my presence has in any small way helped to make your ourney easier. I'll be here for as long as you need a little distraction &/or support.

May the road have no more potholes!

I've had a late breakfast at the BBCafe so now I am ready for morniing tea, an old-fashioned Devonshire Tea, for us all, while my washing spins around & around, & we crank up the juke box to drown out the noise.

What would you like to hear?

I forgot to set backup alarm and LD didn't wake till daylight either ?? Such is life ! Here now , coffee tea and Chai , pick ,& LD will bring .

Porridge for me today I think ? Just ask & if we have it it's yours . I will prepare & LD will serve ❤️

Hi LL , thank you ❤️ . I am pedaling as usual at this time of day when home ? Was just likening life's journey to my days single handing in the southern ocean .

You get subtle changes that build quite a while before the next front really makes its presence known , then wind picks up , sea state getting wilder by the hour till full blown Gail . Usually in middle of the night .

Once you work out how to handle this one your fear calms and eventually you can observe and even enjoy to a degree the maelstrom around you . Often by daylight the front has gone and the aftermath is slowly settling .

By breakfast time in a smaller one you will have sail up and be under way again , often everything is washed clean by the rain after the maelstrom and squeaky clean .

You rest and enjoy then wait for the next lesson ❤️

LL , much love to you & your family from LD&me ❤️❤️❤️

mmMekitty , hi . Your very welcome , all chat and care here always helps others that often many read but don't post , that's fine as they have this enormous data base to pick at to work their journeys out with ! The anonimmity lets us speak freely and in a respectful space such as this can be very helpful .

I didn't post for quite a while , my first one is on page 7 of the second thread in the LGBT main section ( thread is by mspurple ) .

Thank you mmMekitty , hugs ❤️❤️❤️

Galaxies of love ❤️ to all from the never never , Jo&HRS/LD ❤️❤️❤️🧡💜💕🐾💃🌈💝🌺

& Hello here, too, Jo LL & everyone! Hopefully it is just a little cloudy here today. humidity makes the temperature feel 5° warmer, so instead of expecting 26°, it will feel like 310° instead. & sticky.

That can make me very irritable, so turn up the air-con or see me have a toddler-like tantrum.

Or chuck me in the swimming pool. That would be 'coooool'! (Sorry, in advance, if my fur clogs the filter). 😸 🎶just keep swimming, 🐟just keep 🐠 ......*splutter, splutter* & chuck me a couple floaties, to would you? & while you are at it, throw in some more fish, & I'll have my lunch out here, too. (Hope the filter is up to the challenge).

Welcome to everyone & may this day be comfortable with kindness acceptance happiness and humour , hugs FTNN ❤️❤️❤️

Wow must have been a good party here last night , coffee tea & chai here now . Scrambled eggs on toast today , LD will take orders ❤️

Hi mmMekitty and anyone else who might be here 🧡.

Humidity determines how comfortable we are I think . Out here in the longer hot spells it can be under 10% some days . 40+ with very low humidity is ok as long as you stay hydrated .

All have a happy day , hugest amounts of love hugs kindness and generosity with peace ☮️ from the never never , hugs Jo&HRS/LD ❤️🧡💜❤️🧡💜🐾💃🌈💤🌛💕💖🌺

Oops, I didn't edit my post quite as well as I like. 310° ? No, I meant 30°. I keep a sample for the '°' because it is hard to find in a hurry, I wrote '10°' in a word doc, where I sometimes write before posting. All that happened. I forgot to remove the '1' when I put the '3' in. I don't know why these puny things annoy me so much.

I do prefer a dry heat, even when it feels like a fan-forced oven when the wind is blowing hot & dry. When I am sweaty & my clothes cling, I can tip into feeling it is absolutely intolerable. I feel I must, straight away get myself cool again, however I can manage it, quicker the better, or I feel as if I could explode. Anything else at all irritating & I think I will begin to have a tantrum, & I might yell & shove & I don't know what...I feel I may react in some way beyond my experience & not be able to control it.

We had some days here in Brisbane a couple years ago, when it was unusally hot & dry, & although it was bad, I coped better with that kind of heat. I didn't feel I was going to simply 'lose it' at all.

Keeping the hydration up is the really difficult bit. In the sort of heat you speak of, I don't think I could chill water fast enough to keep up with my consumption.

I ought to have sent out invites, so more people would have turned up. So, it was a quiet party, & we thought we have had enough scary stories for now, so didn't tell any. I would have enjoyed seeing what costumes everyone would have chosen... oh well, we can do Xmas?

Happy day, smooth road ahead... 🌺🌹😻

Hi Jo, I'm okay, well enough to look after those tangles of letters & words for you. It's all those sticky out bits, curves that act as hooks, & when you get them all jumbled in a heap they tend to hook onto each other in unexpected ways, & end in a tangled mess. Given some patience, little by little, we can sort them out.

& I'll bring you an extra cuppa & a proper breakfast, one with egg on toast, a little bacon, some tomato & spinach & a small tub of yoghurt with berries.

& guess what, some fresh supplies have just arrived, so there's plenty for everyone! Say? Why don't we have breakfast out on the lawn?

mmMekitty 😺

[mmMekitty]

Oh, they never sent the yoghurt so we'll hav to make due with ice cream. That okay ith you?

mmMekitty 😸

[mmMekitty]

Another party tonight? I do want to, seeing what Jo said at BB Cafe, about launching the new trans support group....it's wonderful! 😺 So, lots of loud music, enough to disturb my tinnitus, I don't care! I want to dance like Snoopy tonight! s

Lots of colourful 🤎❤️🧡💛🤍💚💙💜🖤 & more if I could have them, for everyone!
