What rustles your jimmies - Part II

[SultanaK]

True post is true! The unfortunate part haha. Been back here six months now. Never would have come if my ma were taking care of herself. Not sure why so many like this place...

Everyone is the same here. People live in their small worlds and are narrow minded. Being black is the only possible way to be diverse and everything/everyone else doesn't register on people's radars. It's like the midwest.

Glad someone else sees it, too. My (white) friend who moved here from San Diego also agrees.

You said you were in hellhole as well the other day, didn't know you meant this one! lol
Yeah I have also noticed that there are like...five black people in the whole town. I been living in Phoenix so I am used to just about every sort of nationality there is....yeah, this place is weird. My mom's neighbor is from Africa though, so it's nice to chat with him when I go over there haha. So you been here long?

Haha yes.

Way too long. I hope you find your way out of here soon.

[Spartanbaziotis]

Haha I know the feeling. I talk and act like I am from Arizona because at this point I kind of consider myself to be. No one really knows me here anymore. Deep, dark secret: I spent 17 years in Spokane...not proud lol. Wasn't a lot I could do about it since I lived with my mom and went to school though lol. Definitely get out of here though, lots of good things can happen ;+D

I'm hanging in there.

Oh, your cold/raw chicken meal didn't look appetizing at all. Although, it looked more inviting than some of the stuff Keltron posts, lol.

Good to hear. Make sure you keep at it.

Lol yeah agreed it was not the prettiest meal but when trying to get lean pretty and taste goes out the window! lol

Not sleeping at night. Dog-sitting my roomie's pup while she's out of town for a week. This pup is about 13, and drags his feet on the ground. We have wood floor. And he paces. All.Night.Long. And, he drinks out of the toilet, which I honestly don't care about. Except when he does it at 2 am for 5 mintues. SLURP SLURP SLURP DRAG DRAG DRAG....

Dam old dog!

Many of my colleagues are gay, and I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with it. Several of them come to the work gym too, and get changed in the locker room like everybody else, and that's also just fine with me. Most of them have the good grace to not stare at the other women or make them feel uncomfortable in any way, which is really cool. But today one just had to comment on my body while I am getting changed. Not cool. If a guy had done that, it wouldn't have been appropriate. It's equally inappropriate for a lesbian to do the same. Just saying.

For me, this would depend entirely on what the comment was and how it was delivered. If done respectfully, a comment about my body from a lesbian would in no way bother/offend me...just as the same from a guy wouldn't bother me either.

Same here but I tend to not be offended by much of anything. I am on the other end of the scale from sensitive.

This is a WORK gym. Different standards. If I had been in the pool and a male colleague had made comments about my body, it would have been inappropriate because we are AT WORK. Professional standards don't magically disappear in the work locker room.

Watching American Horror Story season 2 and seeing the 'lesbian conversion' therapy rustled the fk out of my jimmies.

Yeah, I hear you on this - not while getting changed. I don't want to acknowledge other people in the locker room, much less have to say the awkward 'uh, thanks' while trying to make my way to the shower. Granted I've never been complimented while getting changed at the gym. I did have one guy decide to lecture me about the weight I was using 'it's too much/dangerous' or whatever, which struck me as bizarre since I wasn't working out with that much AND I was in the power rack while doing it. If I had failed, the bar would have hit the pins and not pinned me. He was something like 60 years old.

Yeah, it was disturbing. Sick crap like that has actually happened (have you heard about what happened to Turing, for example?).

On a side note, my friend in High School (so, 1995ish) told me about his mom being committed and having electro shock therapy to get rid of all her bad memories. He said that she couldn't remember my friends childhood at all.

Scary stuff.

I do believe you are required to replace said leg before shaking it about.
