Our New SUV

Well new to us, Dodge Durango

We are going to be Technomads!

Mindless Mumble

A nomad (Greek: νομάς,nomas, plural νομάδες,nomades; meaning one roaming about for pasture, pastoral tribe), commonly known as an itinerant in modern-day contexts, is a member of a community of people who move from one place to another, rather than settling permanently in one location. There are an estimated 30–40 million nomads in the world.

Techonmads: Technology Enabled Nomads

This is my wife and I’s solution to a couple of problems, becoming techomads 🙂

To explain a little better, we have both been gypsy girls while growing up and in our adults lives. Be it due to being out of our control to begin with and growing into something more we are not sure what causes our itchy feet. Personally I thought I was over the travel bug and just wanted a place of our own, whereas my wonderful wife wanted to still travel and show me around…

Coming out.

Heres some coming out advice there is no right or wrong way but i hope it helps you.

Coming out can sometimes be a traumatic experience. There is a problem of who to trust and finding the right moment to tell people. And coming out isn’t just a one day event. As a lesbian, gay or bisexual person, you will find that you may constantly have to judge whether or not you should come out to people at work or people in your family. It is really UP TO YOU – don’t let any other person force you into making a move that you may not want to make. It is important to remember too, that coming out does not necessarily mean visiting a ” gay ” bar or club. REMEMBER : YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Coming out is the process of admitting your sexuality to other people.

…To yourself

It is important that you try to accept that there is nothing wrong with you

Accepting that you are lesbian, gay or bisexual can be a positive experience

…To others

Being lesbian, gay or bisexual is nothing to be ashamed of – it is something which you can feel proud about

Bottling things up can be very difficult and you may end up telling lies to cover up your true feelings

If you don’t tell people who are close to you that you are LG or B, you may be cutting them off from a very important part of your life

It is probably best to tell someone who you think will be more accepting

Are you prepared for a bad reaction? Are you prepared for a good reaction?

Some people want to tell everyone at once, others come out over a long period – sometimes years

You are only being honest and telling the truth about yourself

…how to do it

There is no right place or time to come out, but try to plan ahead

It is best to try and avoid an argument about it, and don’t do it when you’ve had too much to drink

Avoid special occasions such as Christmas time or anniversaries

…the scene

This is the term used to mean gay bars, clubs, cafes, LGB centres and shops – places catering specifically for gay people

…are you ready?

Are you attracted to people of the same sex?

What is the best / worst possible reaction to expect?

What support do you have?

Remember, whether to come out or not, is a personal decision, one that only you can make

Being lesbian, gay or bisexual can be a very enriching experience.

You can feel part of a group who shares your sexual identity instead of feeling lonely and isolated.

Heading out to a ” gay ” club for the first time can be a very exciting and / or nerve wracking experience for anyone no matter how young or old they are. We don’t want to frighten people off from doing this but there are a few aspects of safety which we would like to draw your attention to:

IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE SCENE you may find that people are falling over themselves to speak to you. Be careful about the information you give people. If they want you to give them your telephone number, our advice is don’t. If they fancy a chat, ask them to give you their telephone number, but make no promises to telephone.

PEOPLE MIGHT NOT ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH…he or she might say that they are a brain surgeon who has never slept with anyone before and doesn’t take drugs, but that might not be the case.

JUST BECAUSE YOU FIND SOMEONE ATTRACTIVE doesn’t mean that it is any safer to do or give out any information to. This goes for younger / older people.

YES WE ALL LIKE TO DRINK…but be in control. The best advice is not to drink too much alcohol and if you do normally take drugs, avoid this. You want to know what you are doing.

IF YOU DO END UP IN BED WITH SOMEBODY don’t feel obliged to do anything that you don’t want to do. And ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS have protected sex

Goodbye, I Love You by Carol Lynn Pearson

Good-bye, I Love You is the true story of a wife, her homosexual husband, and a love that transcended tragedy when he came home to die.

First released in hardcover in 1986, Good-bye, I Love You was the first widely acclaimed memoir of what was to become a continuing tragedy: death resulting from the AIDS virus. Since problems related to AIDS take an ever-increasing toll, the continuing popularity of Pearson’s book is no surprise. It may be that no one has documented the heart-wrenching effects of homosexuality and the AIDS epidemic on the American family better than Ms. Pearson.

 

 

 

 

 

My wife just finished reading this to me last night, well we took turns in reading the last pages as we cried. Very touching story and gets all the emotions fired up. I use to have a strong dislike for all people that married and put there partners through such an ordeal but now I have some insight… again I learnt something.

Psychiatrist who championed ‘gay cure’ admits he was wrong – Topix

One of the most influential figures in modern psychiatry has apologised to America’s gays for a scientific study which supported attempts to “cure” people of their homosexuality. The survey, published in 2001, looked at “reparative therapy” and was hailed by religious and social conservatives in America as proof that gay people could successfully become straight if they were motivated to do so. But Dr Robert Spitzer has now apologised in the same academic journal that published his original study, calling it “fatally flawed”. “I believe I owe the gay community an apology,” his letter said. “I also apologise to any gay person who wasted time and energy undergoing some form of reparative therapy because they believed that I had proven that reparative therapy works.”

Time to step back into the closet?

So I have a little problem of sorts.  I work with people with mental disabilities (please excuse me if I don’t use the politically correct terms) and I don’t know what to do when the subject of my “husband” comes up. I tend to just stick with the term “partner” with all new acquaintances and people don’t blink. My new co-workers/clients are more inquisitive and this is where it gets tricky. I am there to educate and help people be the best they can and rejoin a community that shuns them but I don’t feel I am here to “educate” people about my private life and the shunning I face.

Ah well.. I don’t expect some great answer from the internet, just came to the point that I need to get out what is in my head instead of just posting  words of others all the time.
