A Russian anti-gay group has asked prosecutors to investigate milk cartons that it claims promote homosexuality to children. The label of the Vesyoly Molochnik milk, owned by multinational dairy company Pepsi Co, is adorned with a jolly milkman and a rainbow in the sky. Anatoly Artukh from the People's Council, says the label is a violation of St Petersburg's anti-gay propaganda law. "A rainbow appeared on the cartons, a world-renowned symbol of the gay movement," he said. "That immediately put me on alert." State prosecutors are now investigating if the label is attempting to promote homosexuality to youth, as Mr Artukh claims. "I have no doubts about …

We’re going to Indiana tomorrow (10-8-21) to pick up my dream car on Saturday. 1987 Chevrolet Camaro Iroc-Z T-Top I’ve dreamed about this car since I was s little girl. I won’t accept an 86 or an 88. My car is an 87. And I will finally have her after this weekend. I’m trying to keep my head together but the excitement is about to erupt out of the top of my skull like a geyser. if there’s anyone in Indiana who is interested in meeting this big, fat, and ugly monstrosity let me know. Our destination is Kouts Indiana, so we have to figure our path back home. We’re hoping I-70 is close.

P- Ming Calista, we've been dicussing English mining history as well as mining history here in Pennsyvania . While it's not a strong point for me , I at least have a working knowlege of some of the mining here in the States . Actually, I have several interests , including Early Ford history, ( 1932-1953 ). I write technical articles for the National Ford Club magazine . Oh finding a buried story on the Ford family itself is always fun too. I'll start with another one of my interests , building models of American Kitsch archecture : Now it's months away from being completed . Generally, it takes me almost a year to do one of these large dioramas . It's in 1…

Something popped into my head. This is just a semi-goofy question but I'm gonna ask it anyway. If there's someone you don't get along with on a forum somewhere, the best course of action is to block them, right? You won't be in each others faces and the fights usually stop. But what if there's a person you don't get along with at a forum that is a staff member? Like a moderator or administrator? You're fine with all the rest of the staff, but that one just rubs you the wrong way. Do you block them? Can you block them? Can they override your block? I don't have any problems with any of the staff myself, but I have blocked one person who's just a regular member the same as …

I would like to inform you that i have created a youtube channel!! a lot of people have been asking me to do this and i finally have the confidence to do so. I think it is great and shows how today a person as young as me can have the confidence to come out with any bullying etc. I think that should be shown because it could reach someone like you when you were younger wanting to come out and struggling, that they can do it and society now is really different and can accept you for you. So PLEASE by all means share the youtube link on your facebook, twitter etc as i think its something that could ultimately change a persons ife. Please let me know what you think. https:/…

How is everybody doing during this pandemic ?

Hi to my sisters I was wondering how many of you have missed being able to go to the Salon during this Pandemic ?? I know I do ,,Cause since my hair is now long enough to cut and to be styled for the first time,,to go long with the rest of my body which looks quite fem after few years on HRT.

I ran this topic by staff, and was told it was ok to post. I have seen a lot of talk about piercing and tattooing. There's a lot of people out there that want a tattoo, but don't know the full risk if you don't find a clean responsible tattoo artist and shop. There are not only blood born diseases such as hepatitis and HIV, but also others such as flesh eating bacteria. The pictures I am posting here are for people to see so that they know the risk if they think cutting corners is ok. If you do cut corners, you can lose more than the $20 you spent for the tattoo. Your life could be on the line. If you go to a shop that apparently has a good reputation, but you get on…

Non-sequitor? I say nay, these are some Heavy Metal or other metal songs I found to make me feel better when gender dysphoria is striking out at me. Whether you are having a rough day, doubting yourself, feeling depressed, or whatever I hope these songs will uplift your spirit and remind you to be free and happy. 1. Want to be a heavy metal queen? Sorry Doro has that spot already taken, but it doesn't mean this song won't feel somewhat relatable. 2. Sometimes we all need a refuge of our own, someplace that makes us feel at home, sometimes that place is music. 3. This song maybe a little intense for some, but I feel the song has a dark an…

So, I am in fact a weirdo of the LGBT+ community , lol.. And I realize that maybe there are not many like me.. am I crazy??.. The thing is: I don't seem to find other people that, like me are very much "nun-like" .. and I'm starting to reallly worry.. You know; others that don't share much of one self, and specially nudity, or sexual interaction unless it is with very, VERY VEEEERY special people.. Am I really that alone there?? Lololo.. please feel free to share if you know other LGBTQ+ members like so , for everyone I know within the community or outside is waaaaay different regarding that "angle"; everyone is always much more open than me.. And I am wondering.. …

Jessica came to Ellen's rescue over the week end of August 1st in Richmond Virginia . This was long planned as Jessica realized Ellen was trying to move and consolidate a 5 bedroom home into a 21 foot rental truck !!!! What she saw was an abyss . Yes, Ellen HAD already stacked a living room, 12 X 18 to the ceiling by herself in a mere week an a half upon her return from Bend Oregon . Still , working 12 hour days by one's self is daunting ! The mission is clear and I chose to accept the challenge . I'm returning to live out my final days in Bend Oregon and damn the Torpedoes , Banker's and naysayer's , period !!!!I still feel as though my trip out to Bend was indeed …

Well, Saturday I did it again. I got another addition to my household family. I brought home a hedgehog. The spikey little fart is still really skittish. Being in a completely new situation and all. So to count down it’s 4 dogs, 3 rats, 2 birds, and 1 hedgehog. What’s next? Koi fish and a herd of goats? We’re one camel away from being able to charge admission. We apparently have a donkey. Adrianne tells me every day something about me and an “ass”.🤨

Nothing can ever replace a loved one. We know that. But we have also heard many times that when you lose a pet, getting another one can help you through. Adrianne wanted me to ask what everyone here thinks. Should we get another puppy? She's worried about the other dogs not liking the pup. She doesn't want to stress them out. But we know that adding another member to the family can be healthy.

I'm in the emergency room at the moment trying to figure something out. About a day ago the entire left side of my face swelled up. I haven't slept for more than a couple hours over the last few days, and I've been sicker than a dog. We don't know if it's mumps or related to my teeth or what. I never got vaccinated for mumps so that's not out of the realm of possibility.

I will be absent from the forum for an extended period. My baby Gypsy died tonight. My mind has mostly shut off and I can barely think. I can barely even breathe. I don’t know when I’ll be back, but I will eventually return at some point.

just to be clear, this isn't hate directed at the ghosties of the chat-room, it's just something funny I came up with (had help of course) “run run as fast as you can, hurry hurry or you'll get the ban. If you go down the path of the troll, out with your dam soul. Do not tick off a ghostie, for I hear he.ll is rather toasty. If you get Charles I have bad news, he's got a massive boot to use. If you get Karen I would watch yourself - for only after an apology, will her anger be put on the shelf. If you get McCookie I would run for the hills, for her anger will give you the chills. If you get Rachel brace for impact, for I hear her slap gives off a rather nasty CRACK…

Does anyone know if there’s some kind of bug going around? I caught something last night and haven’t been this sick in forever. I’ll spare you the details, but needless to say, there’s a bug butt that needs some stomping.

A couple weeks ago, I saw an article about Intel, and the fact that the company would no longer be donating to the Boy Scouts of America because of the organization's anti-gay policies. I considered posting about it...but changed my mind after finding other news stories that I thought might have been of more interest. Come to find out (if I had read the article rather than just glancing at the headline), Intel -BSA's largest corporate donor- apparently only backed off after activist Zack Wahls gathered more than 30,000 signatures on a Change.org petition. Wahls is now going after UPS considering they have a 100% rating on the HRC Corporate Equality Index. Read t…

We celebrated early as my friend's mother needed to get home early and her daughter has to be at work (Macy's) by 4:30. I was pleasantly surprised that traffic was light on the way home but just the opposite heading to her place. When taking the picture I commented that my high heels made me tower over them so this is what they did

Planter's has killed off Mr. Peanut! WTH's wrong with them? Mr. Peanut....dead at 104! 😢 I remember seeing him all the time on the boardwalk in Atlantic City when I was little

So my Dad is a veteran. He is 85 and relies on having a visiting nurse help him out and the maid service that they also provide. Now he finds out that the government is cutting those services. He has no idea if or when anyone will show up. Also, this government has cut funding for Section 8 housing. So now, people that can't afford rent, have to come up with more money. (Guess they could stop eating.) And now Obama wants to cut the yearly cost of living increase for people on Social Security. All this while both the president and vice-president take million dollar vacations every month. On tax dollars of course. I find this sickening!!

I'm looking to compile as many stories of encounters with La Llorona as I can. Actual encounters with her. Not movies or TV shows. So, I'm asking has anyone here seen or heard her? Do you know someone who has? If so get in touch with me.
