The Loft: Butches and Femmes in their 40s, 50s and over.

fever · 05-04-2010, 01:25 PM

The lilacs are coming out now too, Wryly, and they are my favourite bush/flower. Where are you travelling to visit family? If you come to BC, please give me a shout. But, bring your rubber duckie boots, it has been raining here way too much! lol

Good afternoon to all the lofters. Ruthie, I am sending you big hugs. You are one terrific femme. Maybe YOU need to come to BC for a visit. I have a few butch friends that would love to meet you. :-)

Allergies. I don't suffer much, other than some headaches and a stuffed nose, but it really is annoying.
Putting the woolies away! Actually - we enjoyed a mostly mild winter so I didn't need the sweaters like I usually do.
Family. In the spring I do a bit of travelling and visit my nephew and his family. Always an enjoyable time.

The spring sap is rising huh?

Incubus - I'm enjoying my visit right now! Matter of fact - I just extended my time here. We've been busy, busy, busy - seeing the sights, going places. Plus you add in the activites for his daughters. Having a great time.
I've been to London a few times. Once I was lucky enough to see a women's FA Cup final - I remember one of the teams was Everton. A good time.

Fever - sorry my friend, I'm unable to visit BC anytime soon. Hope to someday. My family is in southern California. Beautiful weather here - except for the earthquakes. Apparently there was an aftershock last night - but I slept through it.
Oh my! Lilacs are one of my faves! When I was a kid we had a row of lilac bushes growing by the house. I remember them being quite tall. Sadly, they are no longer there.

I'm glad you're enjoying your visit...it sounds like it's a mile a minute having fun. Hoping you enjoy the rest of your stay.

I have no idea what's happening with the major soccer competitions this year sadly. Although I am looking forward to the World Cup later this summer.

Nihaoma, all? (How is everyone doing?) To answer Jet's post about age... I am going to be 49 on May 15th. I still look very young apparently. When I dress in a hoodie and jeans (only to go walk in the field by the house-snakes are rampant here, the kids across the street yell at me to come and play! I still get carded when buying wine for a friend. I shop,excepts for dresses, in the girls department. BUT
I have MS as well as a series of other autoimmune diseases. It seems that have one predisposes you to having others. In my youth I was quite athletic. I walked 10 miles per day, worked out with weights several times per week, did yoga (still do), meditated (still do), did/do not drink nor do drugs or smoke. So this was NOT a "lifestyle" choice. Now I find out that I will be losing the vision in my right eye. We can prolong it for a little while. The optic nerve is almost gone, though. MS-related probably. There is a good chance that I will lose the vision in my other as well, just not as soon. I am trying to look at this in the best possible light (pun intended). Having just found out, though, makes it difficult. I'll be able to do so soon, just not yet. I'm still in shock.

Morning all.. Things at the new job slightly better. Will have to see. Still unbelievably tired and hurting in places I have never been hurting before. 1 year olds are a lot of work. lol

Have a great day everyone!

I hope you are feeling better, Ruthie.

I went to a new stylist and said, "I want it shorter but keep the curls longer." I even showed her a picture. So I take my glasses off (instant blindness) and the next thing you know all my long curls are on the ground.

I have, as my co-worker described, perky curls. Perky. Sigh.

I would rather think of my short curls as those of Ava Gardner in 1955. No one would ever describe Ava as "perky". But then I have red curls. sigh
