My peak: Mom is doing much better, getting around well on her walker, and the results from the mild stroke are diminishing. She's amazing for a 94 year old. Her hands are back to normal and she'll be resuming her weekly gig of playing piano at a local restaurant. My pit: I'll be up here for a while until I'm convinced she's back to 100%. I've moved some furniture out but she'll have it back before I get 10 miles down the road. Waaaaaay too much furniture for this small house. It's very clean and neat but claustrophobic. The good news: there's no room for buying any more.
Pit: Perservering my now seasonal allergies which developed in the Spring (another thread). Itchy watery eyes, stuffiness and sneezing but that won't stop me from having my Peak: After taking my Claritin-D I have begun decorating with my theme for the harvest season on my front porch.
Lolol have slept since this post Cody so I don't remember what I would of said. Least it looks like you were open to the idea
I never decorate for the 'harvest' season. I wait until the first possible moment to decorate for Christmas without annoying the neighbors! I have some cascading fairy lights that hang like a curtain from my roof to the ground. It's totally magical for me. They aren't expensive and I can change the color or the way they twinkle. I have 4 sets. (My hyperlink skills need improving. Haha. ) https://www.amazon.com/YEOLEH-Curta...67624&sprefix=fairy+light+cur,aps,173&sr=8-52
The Pit: Seen our second transgender (guy to woman) here yesterday. Stopped at a liquor store we haven't been to before and, low and behold, one of the register clerks, a heavyset young man, had long eyebrows put on with an eyebrow pencil and red fingernail polish on each hand nail. I said to myself "what the heck have we got into moving to this city??" Loveland sure wasn't like this when we were here before, in 2004 for the County Fair! It really isn't a wonder why so many long-time resident Seniors are so upset with what's happened to the city they've lived in for years. There were black transgender (guy to woman) in Jacksonville, but we definitely didn't see them and they weren't working anywhere we went. Unfortunately, a few were prostitutes that ended up being shot/killed. The Peak: We are both decently healthy.
Cody, when are you going to figure out that the WORLD is changing??? It is not Loveland or Jacksonville... it is everywhere. You need to learn some tolerance or you will always be miserable no matter where you go.
So far my day hasn't had a pit; I guess yesterday's freezer fiasco took care of that for a week or so. Peak is that the hubby is bringing fajitas from the local Mexican restaurant for our dinner so I don't have to cook.
Peak: I put up my Christmas tree and other interior decorations just because I wanted to. Pit: Couldn't put up the exterior lights & decorations because I choose to hide my crazy behind closed doors.
I will say this again and again AND again......these things aren't everywhere. The GLBT people aren't totally accepted everywhere in the U.S. and they know that. There are forums online that cover where they should live and possibly not live. They will have a tendency to stay away from certain areas. It's like diversity, not everyone likes it, and for those that don't, they find places to live that don't have much, or any, diversity at all. Why don't more people tolerate President Trump? Why are impeachment hearings happening? Anyway, our "Pit" is what we seen. Some folks will understand, while others won't, so...…...whatever!

True..this is MY thread... not cody's... ...but I still want an answer to my previous question from @Cody Fousnaugh .I'm busting to know about these forums...
I have read replies on City-Data Relocation Forum that state just that. The same replies also will tell people, who wondering about certain cities and their diversity, where diversity is very high, like Los Angeles and where diversity isn't very high, like here in Loveland. The racial demographics of Loveland is 97% White, which leaves very little for any other race. There were those on the same forum that stated that Parker, CO, where we had our old house, was "too White" for them.
