One Thousand Not Out

Kay · Post by **Kay** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 12:43 pm

As this is my 1000th. post since I joined in January you might get the impression that I have had plenty to say. I have averaged between 4 and 5 posts a day which I admit is a lot but most of it has been in the game zone, I love that area, the girls who frequent it regularly and the occasional passers-by keep me amused during the ‘drab’ times. I’m not one to run away from the serious things in life but I do enjoy a good wind-up. I must apologise for two of my previous posts which were taken seriously though. One when I used a very old ‘Irish’ joke to illustrate how the Americans changed from driving their automobiles on the left to the right, it being so successful that the next week all the trucks and buses did the same….. and the one about not shaving my legs but plucking the hairs out one-a-day so my wife wouldn’t notice it. I’m sorry, but I thought it was funny how they got through under the radar!
The eloquence and depth of knowledge of you girls just takes my breath away whether it is a serious post or witty repost you must be some of the best writers I have ever come across, the time you spend on helping other people who you may only just have met on line shows the care that is out there in these troubled times. I am not one to give advice very often as I have never been very knowledgeable about my “gift” as Virginia so rightly puts it, much of the time it has been a joy to live with but sometimes it has caused so much stress and tension in my life that I wonder what the heck I am doing. With the support of my lovely wife, the help and advice I’ve got from you all and 20mg. of Citalopram per day I have got to a point where I now rarely bite my nails and fingers till they bleed, shamefully I did that for more than 50 years. If ever there was an outward sign of my new found personal stability that is it, and much of that has come from you.
I laugh and cry in equal measures when I read the stories of all you lovely girls here. CD, SO and GG alike and I make a point of welcoming all the new members in my own Titanic way. You all made me so welcome when I came here, I want to thank all of you for that.
Together we are a great family so I shouldn’t single anyone out but I have a special hug for our new chums Curly and Ed (Honor) who went the extra mile and met up with my wife and I, none of us knowing what to expect but all of us finding friendship and support.
If in this world I only had one wish, for personal reasons it would be to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis but in a lighter vein I would wish to meet more of our family in the future and not just be able to shave my legs on a regular basis!

As for ‘1000 not out’ well over here it is the cricket season, ‘not out’ relating to the fact that I am still hiding behind the curtain waiting for the chance to blossom and grow or to scare the natives depending on their point of view.

Finally thanks to SL and all the moderators who keep this site such a wonderful and safe place to be.
Love and Hugs
Kay

Congratulations, Kay from another ruby goddess across the pond! I enjoy you postings in the game area. You amaze me by your knowledge and wisdom of all things English: history, television, language, etc. This is a wonderful place for support!

That was a lovely post you wrote Kay,, I don't know how many posts I made, I gotta check sometime,, but I am like you or like you were. I bite my nails right down, I also rip the skin that goes around the nails until they bleed,,,why? I don't know why, maybe I need more drugs. My fingers look awful, that's why I wear gloves in my vids and also the gloves hide the razor marks.

But that was nice of you to write Kay, very interesting, except the part about cricket, sounds bloody boring to me. lol

Hope you make 1000 more posts.

PS-I try and make it to the game section but my time online usually runs out and I don't get the chance.

EDIT; Egad!! I have been here since Aug of 04 and I only made 530 posts.

You are very welcome, Kay, but the thanks should be extended to all our members, too, for without their wanting this forum to be the wonderful and safe site it is, this forum wouldn't have made it to the 5-year mark!

Congratulations on your 1000th post, and here's to another 1000 posts!

Amelie - Guess that just means we'll be hearing more from you, eh?

I took a look at my hands one day and saw the damage I had done covered in four band-aids, I said to myself 'This has to stop - now' It didn't stop right away, it has taken me nearly two years to get a grip on my nail and fingerbiting it will be worth it. Please try.

Cricket
You have two sides of eleven, one out in the field and one in. So starting with eleven men out and two players from the other side that is in going out as well. Each man that is in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men are out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
At tea-time, at exactly 4 o’clock both teams, that is all the players who are in and out at that time and including those who were in and who are now out and those who are still out because they haven’t been in yet. They all come in to the clubhouse for tea and cucumber sandwiches. Tea is usually prepared for the players by their wives and girlfriends who don’t get a chance to go in and out unless the ladies teams are playing.
The excitement is intense (or more usually in tents – beer tents

).

SL-Yes, you might just hear more from me, this forum is my last refuge in the online transgender community, I don't post anywhere else anymore.

Kay, thanks, I'll try but gloves are the easy choice right now. lol
