Taxonomy upgrade extras:
I posted this on FaceBook and thought it applied here too.
Since I’ll be pretty much out of pocket for the next few weeks, I want to wish my friends and family here, as well as all who would like to be friends, the best holidays ever!
So, befitting my heritage:
Glá¦delig jul og godt nytá¥r : Dansk (Danish)
Frohes Fest und guten Rutsch [ins neue Jahr] : Deutsch (German)
Beannachtaá an tSéasáºir : Gaelic (Irish)
This is a wonderful time for us if we’re with loved ones and are accepted, but it can be a difficult time if we are alone or are not accepted. In my case, I’m surrounded by family but not allowed to be the real me.
The true value of a group like this is that we all understand and accept each other’s true selves! I can honestly say that I love you all, no matter your race, religion or lack thereof, gender, sexual orientation, or any other thing that tries to stuff us into boxes pre-designed by others. I love you because you are friends and family that I have chosen or who have chosen me: That’s enough, that we love and support one another! I hold you all close in my heart… ALL!
So here’s wishing you the best holiday season possible… You are all in my prayers!!!
God bless us, everyone…
Ole
PS: I have turned off PMs, but if anyone wants to talk to me, say so in the comments and I'll ask a friend to PM my email. Bless you all.

Here's wishing that you and your family have a wonderful holiday. I sincerely hope that you will have the opportunity to spend it with those family and friends who mean the most to you and that you are surrounded by the love and caring that we all deserve in this season.
Until we meet again in the New Year, keep safe and know that you will be included in my thoughts and prayers on Christmas Day.

The real me
"I’m surrounded by family but not allowed to be the real me. "
I'm sure there are a lot of people here who would echo that statement especially at this time of year, now where's that lippy?
I couldn't resist quoting this
I went back to the doctor
To get another shrink.
I sit and tell him about my weekend,
But he never betrays what he thinks.
Can you see the real me, doctor?
I went back to my mother
I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me."
She said, "I know how it feels son,
'Cause it runs in the family."
"The Real Me" from Tommy by The Who.
I feel for you yet feel hurt too
I am sorry for you though I am very much like you. I like the blessing of family, but wish I found some acceptance with them.
I feel hurt in that we have communicated and have shared things with one another. But I suspect I am not one of the three you counted to be here. I am use to people counting and not being in the in group, but it hurts when people count that way, though I suspect you are hurt too.
Ole, hugs from a sister and acceptance for where you are. You are quite lovable.

Awwww
Merry Christmas to you too and I hope you are well throughout the period in which you are incommunicado...

All three?
I wonder about your counting,
It reminds me of the way rabbits count in "Watership Down":
one
two
three
four
five = more then four i.e. many
Although in this case I guess that would be:
one
two
three = more then two i.e. many
Still it's a similar system!
Happy Holidays,
And may we all find acceptance somewhere.

Thank you all for your comments...
This will probably my last appearance on BCTS. I'm sure some will be relieved!
I love you all and wish you health and happiness. Those who are on Facebook, I'll hope to see you there! My timeline is open to all.
Happy Holiday, whichever one you observe or even if you observe none.
All my love,
Ole
