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 🙂

Hi there...

Just wanted to come and say hello. Sez said this would be a great place to just have a chat. Thought it might take my mind off things... Had a tough psych appointment today.

I'm married with 3 kids... but would probably identify as gay if things were different.... it's a long story... but my soul mate is a she. Anyway...

Christmas is roaring towards us so quickly... at times it feels overwhelming but the kids are excited which can be a nice distraction.

Anyway... thanks for having me here... hope you're all having a better day than Me! 😊

Hi bluebell 😊😊😊

Sorry you're having a tough day ... feels like going through the wringer sometimes doesn't it, with those tough sessions? Exhausting.

Kick back, I'll offer you a virtual cocktail or beverage of your choice, what would you like? I have personally just made myself a vegan baileys!

cheers 🌻 birdy

Wow... that sounds so good. It's SO hot... abo it 40 degrees here right now. Cocktails would be awesome... I'll have a daquiri thanks...

What makes a vegan Bailey's? Coconut milk? Yum!

[Birdy77]

Coming right up! Daiquiri for bluebell.

40 degrees is just too hot😓

Yes, coconut milk, espresso, brown sugar and whiskey 👍 boiled down a bit in a saucepan to create awesomeness. Doesn't last as long as it should in our fridge i must admit 😋😉

Hi Everyone.

Sez I get some people think the prequels aren't very good. I saw phantom menace when I was 9 years old so I enjoyed it. I am considering trying to do a half marathon next year. But I need to focus on doing my olympic tri in Janurary before doing a half marathon. I find that fitness does help my MH however sometimes it can be too much of a distraction and I forget to focus on MH

Birdie and bluebell omg a nice moijito would be amazing right now. Haha it is still warm even this late at night in QLD. I think I'll setting for some icecream instead.

heyas,

i haven't been here in a bit - that's actually not true - i've come by but not said anything.

welcome new peoples.

i'm not myself. i should actually come here and speak when i'm not

ok nevermind. this was a waste of a post

[MsPurple]

Hey Raynor

There is no such thing as a waste of post. I come here to say as much or as little as I want. Sometimes I am busy so just like to say I have been keeping up but not up to posting. This is completely ok 🙂

How have you been going? Sounds like you are going through a bit of a rough patch. I feel like I have just come out of one thank goodness. Rough patches suck but getting through the other end makes me stronger in the end.

btw do you like my new avatar? I am not too sure if I like it or not. It is different. If I change my avatar it needs to be purple based to stick to the theme
