Hi all.

I'm Susan, I'm 63 years old and from the plains states region of the USA. I have been around a while, but dropped out of internet contact for a couple of years due to unrelated family and work issues. This time around I thought I would join Laura's because it is a good site, there seem to be a lot of good people here, and you can not get enough information. I have been a Casablanca Girl for all those years. You know, stuck there and waiting......and waiting......and waiting. I am also clumsy; I just deleted ten minutes of the most amazingly dazzling and hard thought out sentences, and then missed the undo button. Well, I thought they were amazing and dazzling. All the ones that get away are, aren't they?

The rules said no books, and that is good. I'm a terrible self-editor, so short stories are about all I get done, and even that hurts. I envy people that can grab a keyboard and just pour it out. I'm not open and outgoing about most things, in particular about Susan, and I assume I am much less so than I would be had I actually been physically born Susan.

I'll talk with you later, maybe stop rambling, and by-the-way, who has the cookies?

Welcome to the family Susan

So nice to meet you, I'm so glad you have found us.

As far as the length of a post, as you read some more you'll get a general knowledge of how long the usual post is. But if you have something that you would like to say, please don't feel too restricted with length. Everyone's say is important here, so feel free to use as much room as you need.

As far as the cookies go, I'm unfortunately not much of a baker. But someone should be by in a bit to say Hi and offer some cookies, perhaps you could have them for breakfast. :lol:

Jean

BTW that "Post New Topic" was the correct button, when sending out replies you will be looking for the "Add Reply" button at the bottom of the screen.

Susan!

By gosh, I have the cookies!

Sally made them and I have a hot cup of coco for you, too!

Sorry about that, Hon....I got in late....I was out dancing with Brad Pitt...*whew*

Just let me say "Welcome to the Playground" sounds as if you already know your way around a bit....

That's good, then...

Why don't you get comfy and get to reading the different forums...lots to see and lots to do....

It's really nice to have you here!

Huggs!

Hey Susan,

I am so glad to meet you and I see that Donna jean has gotten you the cookies and cocoa so you are all set.

By the way there are quite a few of us more mature matrons here at Laura's you have already met Donna Jean and I am almost the same age as she is (she is a little older - shhh) and we both started on our HRT and real transitioning this year.

And soon Elizabeth K will be by - she sometimes checks in from work, she is very close to your age and I can tell you that while most women are coy about their ages for us it is a badge of honor that we made it this long because of the ignorance, lack of information and attitudes of those days.

So I'm 58 myself, and just into my 3rd month on HRT but the real transition - the important part takes place when you accept yourself for who you really are so you are well on your way.

Welcome to the family and enjoy your stay.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi Susan,

Welcome to Laura's.

From your post - " just deleted ten minutes of the most amazingly dazzling and hard thought out sentences, and then missed the undo button. Well, I thought they were amazing and dazzling. All the ones that get away are, aren't they? " -well, I like you already.

Oh, how I wish I could get oh, maybe, the last 10,000 lines or so back that have been /accidently/ deleted over the years. Usually mine are from my computer deciding on its own to reboot after I have put down probably the best phrasing I've ever composed. So what gets out there is a poor rehash. <sigh>

Anyway, we're glad you're here - enjoy, post, learn, share, it's all good.

Hi, Susan, and welcome to Laura's. I see you've already met my wonderful sisters and one very

fine brother, so now you're a part of the family. I'm the youngest of the Mod matrons you've met

so far, at 55, but I don't hold it against them. :P

You've found a wonderful and safe place to explore, make friends and gain information. We don't

judge here, and you are welcome to post any questions or opinions that you wish to. You can

post in any of the forums, but I tend to let the teens do their thing without much interference from

"Aunt Carolyn."

After five posts you can send private messages (PMs) to other members to carry on conversations

off-line.

Have fun and enjoy yourself.

HUGS

Welcome Susan! You seem very quirky and fun,

Well, quirky, undoubtedly. Fun, more doubtful. Some years back there was a new superintendent of schools, introducing himself by saying "he had a weird sense of humor, but he amused himself." Me? I amuse herself, so I guess that's all you can ask. Anyway, thanks everyone for the welcomes.

I make amazing shortbread if I do say so myself. Melts in the mouth! (the secret is real butter and LOTS of it! I use about 30% more than the recipes call for)

Welcome to Laura's! (officiallly)

      Well, it is officially summer.  85 degrees outside the last two days, and GF is sick and irritable.  I have to curl up under heavy blankets in my nest, because she's got the AC turned down to the point I expect to see icicles growing on the ceiling.  This is what life is like when your partner is an arctic creature. I should be used to it by now, but just when I think its nice and warm, she has to freeze me.

      Well, that might be interesting.  At least since she's 24, its not like you're on the hook for expenses.

      What's Cookin'?

      By Lydia_R · Posted

      Been using the wok on the back deck a lot the last few months.  Just got another stock of udon noodles from Amazon and we are using those in the stir fry with onions, peppers and a spicy peanut sauce.  I did this often in the 90's too, but back then I was just using a standard Coleman camp stove instead of this high BTU wok burner.  I've had the burner for a couple years, but haven't been using it regularly until recently.

      I’m a lefty. Learned to be a bit ambidextrous for certain tools that assume right handedness like scissors, but couldn’t write with my right hand to save my life.

      Tangent, adjacent, opposite...  It's still rock n' roll to me.  I don't know about the "in god we trust" part of the money, but I like the lady with the scale.  And then I look left at the Indian statue on my mantel of Guanyin feeding a drop of liquid to the dragon at her feet.  In god we trust?  The lady with the scale?  Maybe this is too binary.  And then on the other side of Guanyin is that kind of pelican wood bird that sits two feet tall that I hauled back from South America through the Panama canal.  The beak broke in 1998 and I carefully saved the pieces (as I usually do) and attached them back about a decade ago.  I used a drill to make a small hole and then put a finish nail in there.  Then a hole on those two pieces that needed to be attached.  Upper and Lower beak.  There is still a seam showing.  I could cover that up, but the beak is a bright yellow and well, it's better with all the pieces in place and I don't mind seeing the crack.  I guess that is the tangent and the other two are the opposite and adjacent. -money  Why don't coders always code the "-" action in their search fields?  It's not that difficult!

      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.

      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.

      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.
