Yes, well, hi to all. I'm Lana. I live across the Bay from San Francisco in Alameda. I just came out this summer and am still working through my list. I am hoping to get moving on the laser facial hair removal asap, as soon as I can find the right place that balances cost with good quality work. If anybody knows just where I should go, by all means do tell.

I'll tell more about myself in the forums.

Bye for now,

Lana

Welcome to Laura's, Lana! It's great to meet you.

Sit right here in the Member's Lounge and I'll get you some of Sally's famous chocolate chip cookies and

some hot cocoa (since I know how cool the evenings get in the Bay Area).

We're glad you found us, Hon. This is an extraordinary site full of the most amazing and friendly people.

We are like a big extended family and we look after and support each other.

Please do POST some more, as we like to hear from our new members. We welcome all points of

view and any question is a good one.

Look around and have fun. You've found a safe place to be.

Hey Lana

Welcome to Laura's

It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders there. Making a list is very wise, this way if you get stuck at a certain spot you can look ahead and work on a different step on your list. This is a very efficient way to accomplish your goals and helps to reduce the tunnel vision effect. I have seen a couple people get fixiated on a certain step they had trouble accomplishing and get depressed, this will often times slow down your progress even more. Heck even I have troubles with this on certain occasions. But set yourself a pace that you and your family and friends can handle, your progress may be too fast for some of your loved ones and you may have to slow your pace a bit to allow them to become accustom to the changes. Paula Ult has two excellent topics called Baby Steps and Baby Steps 2 that are very informative. I think that you would be interested in reading them if you haven't done so already.

Hi Lana,

You have come to the right place there are a great group of people on this site that share a common bond. I see the first of the unofficial welcoming committee has greeted you and have already served up cookies and cocoa. I know there will be more here soon to greet you and everyone will make you feel right at home. I am from the other coast (Cape Cod Massachusetts). I have only been to the left coast once a few years ago and had a great time sipping my way through wine country, I just loved the Sonoma Valley very beautiful and not near as hectic as Napa. Had a wonderful time in San Francisco and had a white-knuckle experience driving the coast highway in the late spring all the way down to Santa Barbara. I would love to go back again sometime. Kick your shoes off pull up a chair and enjoy the company.

Love & Kisses

Erica

PS Just thought that I would mention that I love the color purple

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By Birdie · Posted

      I was admitted upstairs for observation. The nurse last night took one look at me and said, "we need to use a FEMALE external catheter on you."   They placed a PureWick catheter over me and it's working great. If there isn't anything to connect a male catheter to it just isn't going to work.   So far I haven't passed more blood, and my abdomen does feel better. A specialist is supposed to see me today and perhaps order a colonoscopy to find out where all the blood came from.

      Monthly Site Expenses (Updated May 2024)

      By Petra Jane · Posted

      Having taken on the site, forums, and all of the bills, from Dev (May 2020) and because I also want to be fully transparent about the cost of running the site, I feel it's time to update this information. Sorry that it has taken me two years since I last gave an update, just life getting in the way.   If you'd like to donate, please do so via the green bar at the top of the forum pages.  The months of July through October are pretty heavy with annual and semi-annual expenses and every little bit helps.   Here's the breakdown as it stands now:   Chat is now free. (Stu now runs the Chat)   Regular Charges: There are occasional one off's as well. Forums:  $70.00 every six months (February and August, effectively billed in January and July). (Was $45 until 2022, support ticket system depreciated!) Resource Locator:  $53.00 yearly, this "widget" failed this year, so I have been able to find a (currently) free replacement. Resource Locator Mapping: Google maps, currently under the minimum monthly usage, so free. Email Delivery: $5.00 monthly currently free, changed to a service that offers a much larger monthly allowance. Server Rental:  $30.00 monthly. Greatfully sponsored by The Breast Form Store. Security Software:  Now included in the package we have. Domain Renewals: Approx $75 annual charges for Transgenderpulse.com, Lauras-playground.com and the server domain. Contact Us Form Software: $79 yearly (August).   Total Monthly Breakdown: $54.50 per month.  (Annual bills = $654) Updated May 2024 (Slightly down on previous years).   Now then.  I'm on a fixed income, which means I know what it's like not having a penny to spare.  If you're not in a position to donate, please don't feel guilty; I didn't take over here to turn a profit.  The lights will stay on.  Donations are very much appreciated, but they are not a requirement of membership.   An update to clarify a couple of points: Because you have to use your legal name with PayPal, emails confirming your donation from PayPal will be from a name with the initials "DS", not Petra Jane and the email used is tgp (at) uk-web***   Unfortunately, we can only accept payment through PayPal, and please ensure that you have permission to make any donation through a PayPal account, we have been stung by someone alledgedly using a PayPal account without the owner's permission and incurred an additional $20 chargeback to refund the donation!   We have recently seen a number of these of late so I am asking that genuine donators please add your forum username in the comment box so that I, and I alone, will know who has sent the donation and that it is genuine. Thank you. Also, this appears only to Members who are logged in on the forums, New Members need to have made a minimum of 10 posts.   Let me reassure you: Donations help towards ongoing costs related to keeping the site running, including hosting, bandwidth, etc. It also encourages us to commit regular updates, add features, and improve the service. Our promise to you is that this site and its use will always remain free of charge.     Petra Jane
