Reposted from DCF LeBar because it addresses remarks made here, also.

I thought about it some more, and figured out that, aside from the Asian aspect not being cool now with what's going on in Japan, the reason that ring tone originally made me uncomfortable was that it seemed to objectify you, treat you as a trait, not a whole person.  

While it's true that everyone (who would be likely to hear it) knows you're gay, being gay is a trait or characteristic.  You are more than just "a gay."  I think the ring tone is somewhat like if somebody said, "Hey, black, answer your phone."  A black person is more than just "a black."  It seems a little like taunting.

Deb, I like the way you phrased that.

Chuck, very few people are as enlightened with the sense of humor you have.  If I were to hear that go off in a workplace, or even out in public, I would immediately start looking around me for Asian people who might have heard it as well, and then I'd duck under a table before the you-know-what hit the fan.  Just my opinion.

Hiya BetterMost friends.




I hope that everyone is having a great weekend!

I didn't post here yesterday (much) but I did go on a walk through memory lane.  ;D

I was listening to my MP3 player and the song "Honey To A Bee" by Tina B. came on.  It was a song that Rich liked "back in the day", and it made me think of him.  That made me go back today, and go through my old posts, and see some of the laughs we've had in my blog, and Tru's blog, and in different threads.


It was fun, and made me smile yesterday.

I hope that everyone had a great weekend, and is relaxed and ready for Monday.   ;D

I slept really well last night, and feel very awake today.  ;D


Today's travel destination.

Piazza Del Campo - Tuscany - Italy


Climb the 505 steps of the 320-foot bell tower called the Torre del Mangia to see miles of idyllic Chianti countryside beyond Siena.  But the view is also good from any café table looking out on il Campo, which is ringed with 13th & 14th-century palazzi and for centuries this hilltown's center stage.

Good morning, Chuck.

It's good to know that you were smiling yesterday...

And sleeping well last night.

Have a great day.   :)
