well I do like to wear mens t shirts sometimes.
I am however very sure of the "where things go" part
as as far as the sexual preference part goes, yes I do prefer it and often .
i like your answers, vivian!! :)
But, oddly enough, I get plenty of under the chin hair! I have to shave every day, practically. It really stinks.
Hair removal is rather inexpensive.
Glad you're not confused Angela!
I have to shave, if not I feel icky.
LOL
I can SEE right now that Robert is going to be in need of THERAPY.
I would really like to hear what you think of my little tribute to Kelly. Do you have a moment?
Quadrinity
:+)
And all of this was thought up, analyzed and written during the time it took me to eat a bowl of cereal. Now, I guess I'll go check out your comment. Thanks.
BTW, being Christian, I realize that Quadrinity is all muse.
If Kelly is a spokesperson for women on a heavenly scale in your eyes, she must be one AWESOME and BLESSED woman.
You are a dear friend Robert ~ BIG HUGS for taking the time to share your friendship with so many of us Gatherites ~ You're a JEWEL!

I'll try the new link, and come back with my thoughts here, and hopefully be able to post there too ~ Thanks Libramoon.
Your Friend,

i am not confused but...I have had my friends say i was a P...y [cat] for not kicking someone's butt. Or a women saying I was not a man for going to get her some weed while two babies cried being hungry. Through my life trying to be good I have been called both sexes or not being accepted by either gender. So I wondered what if I am not either. When Busing happened in the early 60s i welcomed the new students to our all white school being labled again. So I am used to being pushed from this crowd or that crowd. I am a man. I feel like a real man. But i love all things like a woman. oh , I dress like a man though.
My friend.
HUGS to you both!
This here is an easy one for me to answer because one has to try to be a better person ...I never did follow the crowd's yells . Someone is always in need in life. We simply have to just open our eyes...simple fix.
The only question is who cares if I take the role of a man in life as long as I care like a women.
Unless the situation arises...for now i will be the guy that opens that door for you.
And, having a man open the door is always very nice.
HUGS ~
Your Friend,
Rene
I am not bragging just want you and everyone else know what you are missing out on..
I drove up to a winn dixie grocery store before they were going to close.
an elderly black man in his late 60s or early 70s pulled up beside me with us both rushing in. When I made it to the cashier he was up front with only a half gallon of icecream. he was complaining that it was 2 for 5 dollars with 5 dollars in his hand,,GOD BLESS HIM . Then he placed the icecream downward walking off to check the paper with specials in it. NOW , this man got in his car driving here all the way for only this icecream .
I asked the cashier ,That I will pay for it. I grabbed it walking out of line to hand it to him with him saying,no. I said that I was brought up to respect my elders and to please take this as a gift. He looked at me and started crying.
When I turned to walk back every eye was on me..so I spoke respect your elders out loud...less than 3 dollars I touch an old grayed headed man and everyone in that store....3 dollars...come on..that is so kool. I have so many good stories to tell....I love it but you have to pay attention because they are out there.
One thing that people should pay attention to is the mention of race. What has race got to do with "humanity"?
Murderers are murders no matter the race, and people who need ASSISTANCE or HELP are in need of ASSISTANCE or HELP no matter the race.
I'm glad you have a "helpful" and "giving" heart. Good stories like those you just told are always nice to hear.
HUGS to YOU for all the GOOD things that you do!
Now if i said something to the effect walking in about color..then i would feel bad....He was my elder. sorry if I offended you..I meant no harm.
I understand what you mean. However, we all know that there are people of different races who have experienced hardships in different ways -- some of which we may never experience nor truly know the "feeling" associated with it. My point being that WE are ALL HUMAN, and WE ALL need to ACT like it. Just like you have described above. Treat each other right. Be willing to do for others, just as we would like to have someone do for us.
DIGNITY sometimes walks in the skin of pity, inside the marrow of the bones of a pauper is etched ROYALTY ~ Of these two things I shall not forget.
And what you've shared with us about Our Elders is VERY IMPORTANT. There is such a lack of respect for those who have aged -- who have LIVED -- who have EXPERIENCED -- and WHO KNOW of things WE may never learn of ~ especially when WE don't take the time to LEARN from them.
Pity on us if WE walk in ignorance of the blind woman who simply seeks JUSTICE.
That last paragraph shows me alot of who you are , Renee. You see I feel that way very strongly. Their time on earth is not recorded except in our minds when spoke too ,by listening to there stories . One to be a good humanbeing must except their own flaws and those of others....Color...aggugh !..I want to scream out...NO COLOR ! I know that this may sound stupid but I do not understand why people hate each other over the color of there skin . It makes no sense when their is so much to put that anger to or change . Not color....So when I write trying to be very careful on how people perceive my writing. But when the event that I write takes place...I remember the old white hairs, a man of color, once tall with arms diminishing through age of the passing through time...He is my elder.
I will be the one to stand before all no matter where and say that he is my brother.
These old people will pass with the knowledge of days long passed with us knowing nothing of what they saw .felt or seen. They being old would love the company with the chance to speak....thus making them one more time in life to feel...IMPORTANT. And is that not good .
i
I know you have a GOOD HEART, and of that there is no doubt in my mind. Toss my words to you out that do not make you feel good about what you wrote, because that was not my intent.
Many times I get feedback that is off~track from the intent of my writing. I don't take it to heart. I wonder at it, re~read what I wrote, and try to understand how a person could come to a place where I didn't intend that they go. But, I know that I cannot stop writing as the spirit moves, because that is the only way in which to write ~ in my most humble opinion.
It is GOOD ~ VERY GOOD ~ in response to your last paragraph above.
This is going to be freaky...because now with this comment..I am going to voice something ..to all GATHER...I hope you read it and to keep it up.
You see I work for GOD in areas the normal person does not walk...I walk among bad men. I thought first coming here that GOD gave me a break, a vacation of sorts. I want to write fiction but now ,I am doing the KORAK 123456789 series for all to see who is this Korak guy ..but know GOD has pressed upon me a job..it was work again..so my next post is probably going to lose my small fan base on what I am going to write....you confirmed that here. I was thinking about it...talk to someone here who left once to return because of the hell....now your write...Well I made up my mind to write this post to Gather , checking to see what you just wrote....lol
GOD moves in strange ways.
Sometimes you do not know at all. i have pushed the envelope to where the mind's voice become harsh and strong finding myself in a check out line saying; ''WHAT?"' So I sometimes do not know but I have written some things here that made me look strange already so I figured to share many of GOD"S gifts with you..IT IS FOR ALL, you know. I found myself pushing my world aside to examine these gifts. Where most men and women could not, bills ,the kids are sick and so on....I found a journey...A Flow out here in this world...Wanting to scream out...Does anyone else sees this but me ?
I am just a man...that is all.
In telling of these things may send me to a deep corner in a hospital for professing GOD's mighty power..Then so be it !
My inner circle have seen these miracles of GOD....and my journey through life touching one with leaving behind a simple thought...THERE IS A GOD !
I say if one writes mean things about GOD...be nice....Let GOD to his job...we scare so many away by pushing or shoving GOD. So yes I will bare my soul ..I have said some embarrassing things already about me...I must be true to the story written. KORAK......
If you acept these stories or not...I bet you all will remember the day KORAK was here...I am human you know . I love helping all !
KORAK..1234567 are all true. so when you find time to rest know that all of GOD's children have this power. I am but a man.
"The strange part is that it is your voice , mind's voice ..only not your thoughts...
Sometimes you do not know at all. i have pushed the envelope to where the mind's voice become harsh and strong finding myself in a check out line saying; ''WHAT?"' ~ Korak 257
Are you talking about ONLY the "mind's voice", or are you also inserting "God's Voice" in the picture. God speaks AUDIBLY.
Just let me know the distinction in the Voice that you are talking about throughout the box above Korak.
this gift is one in my next read....oh, I kept the sodering gun for a keepsake.
One day I plugged it in having it work normally.
Some would say that the voice you are hearing is your Higher "self".
However, I have to say that you KNOW the voice yourself on some level. You can KNOW the voice for certain if you truly seek to KNOW the Answer...
Have you prayed and asked God what voice you are hearing?
I'm sorry to hear about what happened with your father. Since the soldering gun is now working normally ~ It would lead one to believe that your father is working normally on another level of life. HUGS & Smiles.
What you described also sounds like something here in Gatherland that someone described, but in a very different way. It was several different voices ~ somewhat like talking to a group of people that you can not see, but all the same can hear. I found the description of that person's experience very interesting. I can't say that I have ever experienced anything like it ~ lol ~ but all the same, it was a fascinating read.
Then, there is such a thing as talking with and to your "self". Your inner being. This can happen in silence, or out loud.
Since you have described it as, "It is my voice in my head" ~ Korak
I'm wondering if it is your thought process relaying itself to bring you to a place within to receive something that you have been seeking in your heart?
I can't wait until you come back to tell us more!
I realy do not know...there is so much more.
Your "soldering gun" experience was really rather 'chilling'. I know there has to be much more as you've just said. I'm so glad that you've contributed to this discussion.
Tonight i will be on writing 5...Please read..you may find a sa d story but one of a kind heart helping those that GOD cannot reach...
It would be best to start at 1 and follow through to 4 though.
you speak with great wisdom...
Thanks so much for responding.
Thanks Rene.. :-)
Thank you for responding ~ and you know you're welcome!
HUGS ~
Your Friend,
Rene
I guess I had better close my mouth ~ d d. has the wind B L O W I N G!
I'm just taking a sample pulse of the people with this post.
Been missing you around Gatherland, and its good to see you on this thread.
Thank you both for responding to this questionnaire.
HUGS ~
Your Friend,
Rene
There are some people, however, who are very, very confused. I've spoken to a few people like this, and it very sad. Their confusion stems from past incidences in their life that they had no control over. And, now as ADULTS, they are dealing with those unsought after results.
Thank you both for responding!
So I can't prove that I'm still a man, but I'm pretty sure.
Does that count for confusion?
I do hope that you will continue to SEE yourself as "young" as your heart is...And that's worth a whole lot of CLARITY.
Your Friend,
Rene
Not since Sunday school at lakeside baptist church in the third grade for Halloween!
:)
Your Friend,
Rene
It seems that there is a lot of C O N F U S I O N going on these days. I hope that cats and dogs don't forget who they really are...lord knows we'll really have a mess on our hands then. They're already putting on clothes you know ~ l o l.
You asked the question, "What is all this about anyway?" ~ CONFUSED?...
Don't be. {I think that is a line in a commercial} ... it sounded rather good to insert here ~ ahah!
This is about people being confused about a number of things concerning "gender". This is simply a sampling of the "confusion level" of the people with regard to gender...
WE really do not want to bring the Catholic Church into this gender conversation, because WE already know that they have a very DEEP LEVEL of CONFUSION going on. The best that WE can do with regard to the Catholic Church is keep our children away from there.
Glad you dropped in on this discussion Glome!
Of course, I was raised by humans ; )
There are so many who have been shaped and molded by some of the most divine minds of Our TIME. Although some of them knew it not.
Thanks for responding!
Thanks so much for contributing to this discussion Otelia ~ And, I'm so glad that you are not confused. WHEW! Wiping forehead ~ I was truly beginning to think that I was living on a "BALL of CONFUSION" ~ ahahahh! ~ not so sure that feeling has been totally erased though -- still polling the people . . .
Our young people are watching things on television that I find absolutely SHOCKING! And REPULSIVE. And, definitely CONFUSING to a young person (and a young mind) who is just coming into their own personal understanding of their sexuality.
Honestly, seeing men with makeup and eyelashes, high-heels, and boobs makes me wonder if I am in the land of Sodom and Gomorrah. Some cities in the U.S. being worst than others. I was taken aback 20 years ago when I first saw such things in the LA area, and I am MORE SHOCKED today to SEE it.
Vulgarity is often overlooked, but it is the seed that lays the ground for even deeper vulgarity. And definitely CONFUSION. If you pay attention to any person who has a very vulgar mouth, you will find their life is much the same.
Messing up young minds . . . it is a dark spirit from a demonic place seeking to destroy all that is good and true and of innocence and purity.
I am glad that I am not a young person in this day and age. They have to worry about their life being taken over something trivial when going to school trying to do the right thing and get an education. There are teachers who have no regard for the age of students, having no morals whatsoever ~ sleeping with them ~ fathering children by them ~ and on and on.
CONCERNED ~ You've said it Spartan. WE should ALL BE CONCERNED.
Where are all of the ADULTS that the young people can look up to for WISDOM, ADVICE, COMMON SENSE, LEADING, KNOWLEDGE ?
Those ADULTS that can show a young person the RIGHT WAY to live life.
Those ADULTS that have a life that is worthy of admiration by a young person, and gives them something to look forward to. . .
Some INSPIRATION ~ Some HOPE.
Looking for a SHOW of HANDS for those who are not in dysfunctional relationships, living DYSFUNCTIONAL LIVES . . .
. . . this may take a while . . .
I don't think any of this is "new". It's just getting more publicity. I had a female Drama teacher in High School back in 1967 who shared pot with and slept with numerous male students. I personally dated my female Senior English Intern. Again...I don't think there is anything "new" out there. People are just being more open, or getting caught more often. I DO know that 5 of my daughter's High School classmates committed suicide within two weeks of graduation.
You're right about none of this being "new".
It is still SHOCKING to hear what you've added in above ~ "I DO know that 5 of my daughter's High School classmates committed suicide within two weeks of graduation." ~ Spartan
That is so SAD, and I am so sorry to hear this. It is a growing problem, and I do hope that more ATTENTION is called to it.
Thanks for adding in you input to this discussion.
I'd like to think (and hope) that there are many places and people that a person can turn to for help with what they are going through (if they are in a state of confusion), although I'm sure it would not be easy in most cases.
I'd like to hear what you think and what others think that are joining in on this discussion ~ about the HELP that is available to those who may be confused when it comes to their gender.
I can't wait to read it!
GATHER around ? KORAK
You will pleasantly surprized .............
GATHER around ?
Thank you for responding.
Praise God, and thank you for responding.
