Guest Lana Turner

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

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
