In Oakland, where I live, there are fewer foggy days, lots of sunshine, and warmer temps as compared to San Francisco. It can get up to 90s, and just when I start to whine, the natural air conditioning - fog - comes rolling in and cools things down. The cycle goes three days of heat, then fog comes. Works great for me.

California was on my list but its too expensive to live!! glad to hear that the temperatures are working for ya. Its getting colder in NOrthern NJ in the mornings but the afternoon temps are better with the nights getting cooler, oh well what can you do got live with it until I find a place that is warm and sunny all year round!!

Hope you all have a great weekend. Anyone doing something fun and/or interesting? I'm leaving in a few to see the film, Mao's Last Dancer.

well Just let me know IF u really wanna go there....there are SOME places that Get colder in the winter than others....or U could do like that live there....Be a snow bird...come back to the lower 48 during the winter and be up there in Summers. IT depends on whre U wanna be...because places like Fairbanks, where I was can get pretty WARM in the summer...Max is 85-90.
But then Anchorage a pretty good sized city about 8 hours away gets only to like 78.

JUST thought I would let U know....

afternooners lofters
ya know.... lately i dont know what it is..... but i been running to some butchs i find of interest only to find out they are into other butchs.....
and i dont know why ..... but when i see them all cooing over each other on each others profile.. on FB and such .... it well .... i just cant stand to see that.. and i get the hell out of there... even ones that are just friends...
hope this doesnt offend anyone here... on that subject.
im just a girl whom loves and is very into the Butch/femme dynamic big time.
I love my girly side and makeup and girly things... and my domesticated ways of taking care of my guy and our house hold...
but i guess to each there own..... heh

Jude 09-22-2010 03:38 PM

Morningstar, don't you think those are kind of role stereotypes? Jeez, you drive a big ass truck. Somebody might say that's not feminine, even if it's bedecked with flowers. In real life, how many people actually fit the mold? I agree, "each to their own"

lipstixgal 09-22-2010 04:00 PM

Good Evening Lofters how is everyone doing, its suppose to storm this evening yikes I don't like that at all!!

naturlover_52 09-22-2010 04:23 PM

the whole Butch/butch thing
 
Ummm Star....Yeah I am rather offended.....I am a softbutch/androgynous person who is ONLY into butches and androgy people. NOT into the whole femme thing.......sorry that is just me.....and yeah none of US as Jude put it.....Fits the Mold....I am into taking care of others. I am a MAJOR caretaker....Does that make me femme?? NOT sure....I LOVE flowers...Hate pink and purple......more into Light blues and Jades and that rubber ducky yellow color....I shop in the men's department...trying helplessly to wear my hair in a fohawk...but I am NOT good at it. Above all I am JUST me. a friend of mine calls me a Chapstick Lesbian

Gentle Moderation

We appreciate the way Jude and naturlover addressed morningstar's post. We need to be able to talk to one another about these things without being harsh and hurtful.

We do *indeed* need to be ever mindful and respectful of the beautiful diversity we celebrate here.

Just because something is "not my thing" doesn't mean I need to say anything about it. I just need to say what my thing is...and I can do that without bringing up the "negative" or flip side.

So what, we can't say anything negative or the flip side? Our viewpoint
and how we put things is going to be monitored now?

1. No, Jet...not when the "negative" is expressing dislike for the way others here may love, desire, or express sexual interest. That's not okay now, and it won't be later.

2. We have asked that threads not be continually derailed simply because someone does not care for the moderation. Do that via PM.

3. You are being sarcastic as hell in asking that, and you know it. You know full good and well what our intentions were in posting that reminder, and your interjection is not helpful nor is it appreciated.

4. If you have any further issue with this, contact me via PM.

Thinker (moderating)

Can this thread be turned into something affirmative?

One of the positive things about growing up (presuming everybody in this thread is a bon afide "grown up") is that we get to take a look at some of the roles we've been playing in life and recognize them as either useful or non productive.

Every one of us have both feminine and masculine aspects. All human beings are somewhat androgynous (gay or straight). How wonderful to be us and able to experience ourselves as we truly are and give full expression to the varied facets of ourselves.

As we mature, one of the bonuses in life is coming to the point where we don't really give a damn what anybody else thinks of us. I don't care what you think of me so long as my authenticity is expressed within my own demeanor.

We wasted a whole lot of time in our youth "giving a damn" :balloon:

Just my thought.

Afterthought: I'd like to say that I am sooooooooooooooooooo pleased that I came upon Butch-Femme Planet. You've got some thoughtful, brilliant, intuitive people here that are hard to come by in the real world. My personal thanks to whomever came up with the idea and to those who moderate and subsidize it with their time and efforts. It's so nice to have a place to try out ideas (possibly try on different hats) and feel right at home. XXX to everybody here.

miss entycing 09-24-2010 12:34 PM

been around these threads for a long time both here and the dash site-
and *I've* never seen this particular thread anything less than affirmative
:)
*I* still don't.

*I* also think the original post was nicely moderated- with tact, and grace.
:)

life's too short to dwell... yanno?
my version of 'productive' may be your version of an idiot- so what?
our differences, and our versatility in an interconnecting space here
are what a community makes.
we are all fabulous, and perfectly flawed.... period.

so, moving on.....
good afternoon Lofter's!
hope everyone is having a delicious day thus far.
:sunglass:

JoSchmooze 09-24-2010 12:59 PM

My thing......
 
My thing is femmes....
Femmes in all shapes, sizes, short or tall....
Femmes with a sly sense of humor....
Femmes who don't mind a butch helping in the kitchen...
Femmes who like to have their butch open their doors....
Femmes who can dance a two step but who know when it's time
to sit down and take a bit of a rest....
Femmes who may be able to get me to do what I don't want to do.......
Femmes who are independent, those who know how to stand on their own two feet...
but who also lean a bit when they need to....
Femmes who can cock an eyebrow as if to say "oh no, you did not just say that".....
Femmes who also like butches!

Me likem Femmes......
