Hey there, and welcome to the group! I think you're likely to find some interesting discussions to join in on. I grew up in Kentucky as well. I spent a lot of time in Red Rive Gorge as a kid. I LOVE that place. I always go visit any time I'm back in Kentucky.

Unless you are planning on competitive road racing of any kind, I would definitely recommend getting a cyclocross bike as opposed to a road bike. For smooth pavement, you can always use narrow road tires, but at least you have the option to use fatter tires on your bike for dirt or gravel roads...

I just got caught up on the last couple of weeks of this thread. As a little kid I sometimes wanted to wear girls clothes, which I don't think is all that unusual. I got caught a few times, and got in trouble of course. Through my life I have consistently been uncomfortable with conventional...

Them gosh-danged feds can pry my diapers from my cold dead hands!

This is a link to a short piece from the Huffington Post that I came across on Reddit the other day. I found it to do a beautiful job of describing the feelings experienced by a person who was forced to grow up as the wrong gender. It is worth checking out. I'd be interested to hear people's...

Brony Pony, Thank you for being willing, and taking the time and energy to engage in a difficult and self-assessing discussion like this one. That alone shows strength of character in you. I feel that most of the points you've brought up have been well addressed and discussed. I just saw one...

Welcome! I saw Big hero six recently, and I really enjoyed it a lot. I actually got pretty emotional, which is unusual for me with a kids movie.

Welcome to the site. Glad you could join us! I also love being outdoors, and South Carolina is indeed a beautiful place. I hope you find plenty of interesting discussion to take part in. Any chance that you are studying agriculture? I only ask because of your user name.

I'm not very knowledgeable regarding film, but I did see City of God a few years ago, and found it to be really impactful and meaningful. Here's a link if anyone wants to check it out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_God_(2002_film)

Caitianx, I'm glad that you're feeling somewhat better. And that you got to have some fun little time:) In one of your previous posts, you said that you feel guilty for not always feeling strong and stoic as an older man. Please don't feel like you have to meet societies' false ideals of what is...

So glad you decided to join in! I imagine you'll find lots of interesting and fun conversations to take part in.

Hi there Sanch. I like the new name. It sounds cool. I owe everyone an apology for going MIA for so long with no explanation. Things have just been kind of nuts for me lately, but I should have at least left a note, saying everything was okay, and I wouldn't be posting for a while. I'm sorry. I...

Empanadas de carne are definitely pretty great. Do you use pie-crust for them? Or do you make your own dough? My experience is more with Latin-American food, a lot of which is based on Spanish cooking. Where my parents live, there is a type of empanada called a Saltenha. (Named after Salta...

Hey Snaps, I had meant to ask this previously and I forgot. What is you favorite dish in Spanish Cuisine to cook or eat?

Thanks for accepting the friend request:) I hope you have a good and restful night!
