the thread that can't be derailed....

[SallyChoasAura]

If you get so hungry you feel like you'll throw up- can you actually throw up or will you just gag?




God this question is disgusting. The frick is wrong with me?

[SallyChoasAura]

This thread is where we ask the real questions people!

[GingerVicki]

ewww
it's a dry-heave

[Sno]

And lines on the tracks.

Railing for the derailing thread.

[ErinWDK]

Railing for the derailing thread.  That sounds almost like something that would still try to lead me in a pre-determined direction.  I don't want to go there.

So I won't!

One can not quell a free spirit!

[GingerVicki]

Just sayin'

[SallyChoasAura]

Okay but- if someone falls in love with twins that are connected to each other (I forgot what that's called) does that make it a polygamous?🤔

[Sno]

Conjoined. That's the word, and polyamorous is what you'd be - having made space for two loves in your life, although they manifest in the same body.
It would be polygamous if you married them both, and a challenge if you'd proposed and only one said yes...

Let's also not forget consent issues, but then love is. And love conquers interesting problems.

Refreshing not taking one's self so seriously, like stepping aside of one's self, and what do you see ?

Oh Yes.  This is the place for attempted derailments and fun for those of us with ADHD like interests that run from one tangent or squirrel to another.  The World Serious is more than a bad ball game name.  Transition and just living out and trans can require uncommon resiliency to survive and thrive. 

So here we can be distracted, amused and irreverent as ever without concern for the original post(er) and chosen topic.  BTW i share your enchantment with the Pacific Pulse.  In the quiet of the night I can feel the deep rumble of breaking waves and hear the surf crashing along the shoreline a mile away.

Speaking of derailments;  When i was in college i worked for a couple of railroads and actually caused a real derailment.  No one was hurt but these are monstrously major weights to get back on the tracks!  With our conversational threads it seems so much simpler to have topical dialogue and points of view to share.

I live near the mouth of the Columbia River and she pours out her concerns to an indifferent ocean that absorbs us all. Sometimes with calm and mirrored blue seas and sometimes with the chaos of turbulence and towering waves that have earned her the nickname "Graveyard of the Pacific."

Ready to set sail ....?

Tall masts, light ships, bar pilots, helicopters....

Hi Tessa, you know how tug at the heart strings, and this is a nice derailment. I totally dig the Pacific pulse of the area Illwaco, Astoria, Long Beach, have spent a fair amount of time recreating there, we usually go to Cape Disappointment state park (used to be Ft Canby SP), sometimes Ft Stevens, with our mobile habitat unit. I can spend hours just watching the swells come in, like from the north jetty, just park on a rock and watch the swells hit the rocks just below Cape Disappointment light house, shooting water way up into the sky....

I have to believe it lowers one's blood pressure having the sound of the Ocean in the background...It's calming.

had just found this thread today, thanks for chiming in....

Cheers

Oh yes, I cannot deny the allure of the ocean.  The smell of the salt, the sound of the waves, the vision that extends beyond the horizon.   What's not to love!

Judi, I don't know if I could live inland very far  You are so right above, and I would add flying kites on the beach, making sand castles (not just for kids), playing frisbie on the beach, having a nice fire going, OMG just typing this is making me long for

Hugs

We have a nice gathering of the tribes down here for Astoria Pride, June 7-9, and my home becomes a retreat for such fine folks as we are.  Pride here is three days of rainbows and love within a small town community that is quite supportive.  I still get to be Chair for our Lower Columbia Q Center and we sponsor dance parties, A Gayla, a parade, a blowout block party and more.  Wonderful fun and immersion, as deep as you like, in rural queer culture.

I have acres of trails and a few places to put mobile units if you get tempted further....

One day, it sounds like that glade would be a wonderful place to rest, and in the mean time, we are happy to live vicariously :j
