LGBTQIA+ |OT9| The Return of the Queen

Last night I get home from the gym and I'm sitting on the couch scrolling through Facebook when my 5yr old niece walks up to me and out of no where says "Where is your brother?" I told her "your father is at home, he is my brother" and she looks at me puzzled and says "No. My daddy isn't your brother, where is choo choo xxx"

She was referring to my ex(she could never say uncle, so she called him choo choo xxx),The last time my ex saw her was before her 4th birthday, and she has never mentioned him until now, which I figured she forgot about him. The room got dead quiet... the conversation went like this.

Me - Oh sweetie he is home.
Her - I miss him. He needs to come here!
Me - It's not that simple I'm afraid.
Her - He needs to come color and play play-doh with me!
Mom - I really miss him
Me - I do too.
Dad- has there been any contact between you two?
Me - No.
Dad - Yeah, I really liked him.

It's rough because it was hard enough coming out, but I have never had that conversation with my dad, and for him to accept us, and love him/accept him is what is gut wrenching. I didn't expect it to hit me as hard as it did, but it did. I cant wrap my head around how she remembered him.

13 ounces of meat in a double kind of big, which is big but not that big. My partner still looks at me like I'm some kind of food monstah.

Hi, I'm new here but I've been lurking basically the whole time while waiting for my account to get approved. You all seemed like fun so I wanted to jump in 😅

I'm a mid-twenties lesbian in the greater Los Angeles area, and I'm surprised there wasn't already someone on GAF named Gisele, but I guess it's generally much more weighted towards men here. Okie dokie carry on and pretend I didn't say anything ♥

Episode 9 of the Bill Nye show is on the gender and sexuality spectrum. Nye is affirming, of course, but he barely gets into why, so I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Nevertheless, ever little bit helps!

I think it was episode 12 that was on IVF and there were male-male and female-female relationships in it too.

EDIT: The driver of the bus I am on got off the bus to answer his phone, that is a weird thing!

I'm going through the exact same thing. I had this "perfect" boyfriend that I ended up realising I didn't love, so I'm single now but my mother loves him to death and I feel suffocated. I just want you to know that, hey, they accepted you for who you are. When someone new appears in your life, they will accept them too. Don't feel guilty about anything.

I can understand completely with feeling suffocated. I feel the same way at times, especially when they still talk about him, even my extended family and neighbors continue to ask about him, and I have nothing to share because he shut me out completely.

I think the guilt is that I wasn't what he needed anymore, so I felt like I failed, and I still do to this day. I opened my life to him, and I risked literally everything on him, and for nothing. Perhaps one day I'll meet another guy and everything will be ok, but I'm not holding my breath.

I wish you the best though, eventually your mom will come around and see why(though its amazing she was accepting of him!), especially when you are happy with someone else. =) It's not fair for you to stay with him just because it made your mom happy. You gotta do whats best for you.

Somethings do taste better warmed up. Like baked spaghetti for example. I rarely keep leftovers though.

Calling Gaf, lets get a giant cheeseburger and share it with our new friend.

I'm planning on impulse-buying a Switch on Wednesday and I'm not sure if it's a good idea but I really want to play Mario Kart 8 and BOTW to a lesser extent, I totally skipped the Wii U, also worried about the potential hardware issues it may have.

You're doing it wrong!

With BotW and Mario Kart, and Splatoon 2 isn't far off, it isn't a bad idea at this point. I bought it at launch though and am not playing anything on it now that I have finished BotW and I already bought MK8 Wii U.

LOL, I'm so indecisive that what I consider an impulse is still something that takes me long periods of careful consideration.
I guess I should go for it, always been a Nintendo fan and with the Switch's success so far, Nintendo might put in a lot of effort into its library.

Mine is collecting dust as well, but I was expecting that - I didn't think it'd be worth buying for at least a year, but being able to get it for $200 cheaper helped push me into buying it early. Splatoon, Odyssey and ARMS all look somewhat interesting, but I'm not really feeling massively excited about any of them (and Xenoblade 2 has left me completely cold), so that situation might continue for a while. Still, I'm glad I got to play Zelda on it instead of the Wii U.

Oh, and (extremely belated) happy birthday - I don't really check this thread very often, so I miss a lot.

You don't have to feel that way. A relationship is a two-way street, you know? If one person is just not really feeling it, it is time to go. You are not unworthy because of that. That are plenty of people in the world, don't even think about giving your whole life to someone. "If you don't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?" Mama Ru once said. (That's why I'm single btw)

And thank you!

Trying out Blue Apron for the first time since I can't cook and not bad for a first try. Mistakes were made, but it was a good learning experience. :)

Got enough leftover for work tomorrow too!

Oh my gosh I love blue apron. I can cook but I'm not very creative with it, so blue apron encourages me to try making all sorts of new things. Plus cooking is a great thing to do with friends and partners :)

Oh, I saw your post earlier, welcome to the thread!

And yes, what I like the most is the variety of recipes that they send. Alas, I live alone so I don't have anyone to share cooking with at the moment, perhaps some day!

Oh, that's too bad. I always feel like prep time is what takes the longest, and it's the easiest part to speed up with multiple people. But the plus I guess is getting to catch up on TV or something while you work.

My sister in law and her husband used to do blue apron but switched to hello fresh because they didn't like how often blue apron used exotic meat (read: not chicken or beef). I guess they didn't know you can tell blue apron which meats you're interested in (or none if you're vegan).

That looks really good. I did Blue Apron for like 2 years, but I took summers off since it was too hot and I got sick of cooking so much. It made me a much better cook and I really enjoyed most of their dishes, but I'm a pretty adventurous eater and will try just about anything. I have 100s of their recipe cards and still make many of them.

Yeah, the beef chili was so good. Filled me up real quick. The potatoes I messed up on, but they were still fine for me.

I'll try them out for awhile and see if I continue to like it, but so far so good.

I can't share anything here without the ramifications of some people on gaf knowing exactly what/who/when i'm talking about. Probably best that way.

Went to the doctor today. I've had a weird issue with my throat for the last month and can barely speak. Didn't find anything so now I have to wait up to three months for an appointment with a specialist if it doesn't get better.

Not that I do a lot of speaking usually but it's very annoying and it makes trying to approach my crush a lot more awkward. At least the doctor said it's probably fine for me to go to the gym again, so I can continue ogling him at least

One time this guy invited me over and when I got to his room there was a guy just... sitting in the corner on his phone. I was like is he just gonna be here or... ??? And he was like oh don't worry about him he won't get in our way. Literally ???????? i mean i still had sex with him but it was odd to just have another person in the room. I ended up bonding with the guy just sitting there after sex guy went to the bathroom lmao. Also sex guy is racist so he's cancelled.

I was having a threesome this one time. And like this guy was bottoming for me but his head kept hitting the headboard of his bed. I just assumed he was screaming in ecstasy but... I might have actually been hurting him. His boyfriend was just watching so I assume it was ok hopefully!

Another time this guy invited me over and as we were sitting there... he opened up grindr and starting searching for people. I literally had to take the phone out of his damn hand so he could focus on me for second. This is why i hate men. Like if he wasn't really hot I would have left also I have no self respect.

That's all I got.

3 months for an ORL appointment? Shit that's long :/

Can't you go the to ER to try and get an appointment faster? I'd say being almost unable to speak is a serious enough condition to justify it.

I don't know how long it will take yet, she just said up to 3 months but hopefully it'll be a lot sooner. I guess I'll hear back in a few days. I'm perfectly fine otherwise apart from minor throat ache and I can still sort of speak in a low voice that sounds like a badly compressed 8-bit sample. Given my lifestyle and somewhat limited social life; it's really just a minor annoyance for now, as long as it doesn't turn out to be anything serious.
