Cultures & Groups - 26 November 2007

My friend recently came out as a transsexual and stated her desire to become a girl. I am totally ok with this and want to support her. I know that one of her biggest desires to be 'one of the girls at work'

We work in a small office and only the 2 of us will be in on Thursday. I wanted to surprise her by giving her a female make-over and fulfilling her need to be one of the office girls.

Do you think this is a good idea?

What should I buy for her to dress in - she is always admiring other girls in smart outfits especially skirts . She also moans at me wearing 40 denier black opaque tights telling me 60 denier black opaques are far softer and sexier. I am thinking necessary underwear, white blouse, black skirt, 60 denier black opaque tights and black heels?

Does my idea sould good or am i pushing her too soon?

...how about a black woman with a white man? Is there a difference? Does society accept it? Do you?

Nothing is as easy as it looks.
To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles.
Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.
Two wrongs are only the beginning.
If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
Nothing is as easy as it looks.
Every solution breeds new problems..
If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then..
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

Exceptions prove the rule ... and wreck the budget.
Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
Trust everybody ... then cut the cards.
Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
Everything takes longer than you think..
Two wrongs are only the beginning.

very nice thing to do?It is good luck to kiss under the mistletoe. It is bad luck to deliberately to avoid doing this.


Take three leaves of holly and on them prick the initials of three of your admirers. On Christmas Eve place the leaves under your pillow, and it is said that the one whom you will marry will appear to you in a dream.


Sew nine holly-leaves on to your nighttime clothing, borrow a wedding ring and place it on the third finger of your left hand, and then go to bed. During the night, your future husband will appear to you in a vision.


Make a chain of holly, mistletoe and juniper, and tie an acorn between each link. You need to have 2 other girls to assist you. At midnight on Christmas Eve the 3 of you must go into a room where a fire is lit, lock the door, hang the key over the mantelpiece and open the window wide. Then wrap the chain, which you have made around a log and sprinkle it with oil, a few pinches of salt and some earth. The log and chain must be placed on the fire and all lights turned out. Each girl sits around the fire with a prayer-book upon her knees, opened at the marriage service. As soon as the chain has been burnt, it is said that each girl will see the vision of her future husband crossing the room. If such a vision does not appear to a girl, she will never marry; or if she sees a phantom, such as a skeleton, which causes fear, it is also taken to be a sign that she will remain a spinster.


Tie a sprig of holly to each leg of your bedstead, and before you go to bed eat a roasted apple. Your future partner in marriage will come and speak to you in your dreams.


The yule log should be lit by a piece of the log used on the previous Christmas. Once that is done, no evil spirit can then enter into the house. The remains of the Yule log were also considered lucky, and would be a protection against lightning or fire.

O'Ryan staggered home very late after another evening
with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife,
Mary. He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading
to their up stairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught
himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed
heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and
made the landing especially painful. Managing not to yell, Flynn
sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see
that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly
find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could
on each place he saw blood. He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box
and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed. In the morning, Flynn woke up
with searing pain in both his head and butt and Mary staring at him from
across the room. She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't
you?"
22 hours ago - 3 days left to answer.
Additional Details
22 hours ago

" Flynn said, "Why do you say such a mean thing? " Well, "
Mary said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the
bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through
the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly.....it's
all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror!".

He also has a Confederate flag sticker on his truck.

I am just curious as to what you would think if you saw this at someone's home.

That is the million dollar question. One would like to know

We are still in the baby stages, if you ask me. Talk about

One of my friends lifted her eyes up with her fingers and said "Look I'm Jackie Chan!" Then my other friends started laughing too. I am half asian and I find that really offending. Even though I am half south east asian so I don't have those "asian eyes" as they call it but I still find that offending to asians. Am I overeacting or are they racist?

in reponse to an answer to a question/

Do you think something is severely wrong with someone you've never met in person who is so infatuated with controling the private lives of those they will never meet that they feel the need to inform people of their preoccupation of imaginary superior morality?

How old, rather, how mature do you think someone with this deep rooted psychosis is anyhow?

Do you picture someone like this sitting in a darkened room having imaginary wars with sock puppets?

What's your take on this?

I looked around
The sky was interesting
The moon was in the white sky and the sun was going down

I looked around
There were comforters and comfortees
I was suppose to be a comforter

I looked around like a tourist
as if the funeral-to-be was a spectacle
I was in my role of observer
and I saw my co-worker’s white face
without makeup was still quite pretty
Did her grief add to or subtract from her beauty?

I saw the mounds of dirt
some with flowers and some without
I tried not to think what it meant
what those mounds of dirt meant

The wife of the dead man fainted
I had been told that she didn’t love her husband
Then I remembered my friend telling me
the dead man took too long to die
the family prayed for his death

Two married buddies are out drinking one night when one turns to the other and says, “You know, I don’t know what else to do Whenever I go home after we’ve been out drinking, I turn the headlights off before I get to the driveway. I shut off the engine and coast into the garage. I take my shoes off before I go into the house, I sneak up the stairs, I get undressed in the bathroom. I ease into bed and my wife STILL wakes up and yells at me for staying out so late!”

His buddy looks at him and says, “Well, you’re obviously taking the wrong approach. I screech into the driveway, slam the door, storm up the steps, throw my shoes into the closet, jump into bed, slap her on the butt and say, ‘You as horny as I am?’ … and she always acts like she’s sound asleep

The Amorous Gorilla



A married couple visit the zoo, she is wearing a cute loose fitting revealing spring dress.

As they walk past the cages a large male gorilla obviously taken with her appearance

leaps onto the bars holding on with one hand and both feet he grunts and beats his chest

with his free hand.

The husband finds this amusing and urges her to give the gorilla a show.

She puckers her lips, bends forward and wiggles her bottom, her admirer goes apeshit.

Hubby suggests that she let one of her straps fall.

She does this and leaning towards the gorilla wobbles her chest from side to side,

the animal is just about ready to tear the cage bars down.

“Try lifting your dress up your thighs, and move a little closer” says the husband

and as she does he whips open the cage door and pushes her inside.

“ Now, try telling him you have a fu**ing headache.” He says

I know I'm a little too old to be asking something like this, but help me. I'm 24-year-old and lives with my parents. I feel if I could come out to my mom, then I would be able to come out to just about anyone.

Would this be a good starting point: "Mom, do you think it's weird that I haven't had a girlfriend before?"

Some of you guys would say my mom likely already knows that I'm gay. if so, how come she keeps talking about how I would get married (and to which girl) and have kids in the future?
