Twist On A Theme

Well - I get 'ma'amed' now. I went to the bank and went throught the drive through - "you ladies have a good day"

I find thet in the car sitting down there is no problem getting 'ma'amed' - usually at drive-thrus - but that is getting routine I hate to say - not to minimize its affirmation powers...

BUT - funny!

Today was my first "Gracias Senora"

At a Mexican restaurant - after I paid.

I DO notice now if the waiter asks "separate checks, or all together?" I am reading as a woman friend to my wife. That is now something I look for.

So I thout it was funny to pass in a persons eyes, from another culture!

Liz,

The Ma'ams are always nice. I particually enjoy the ones from people that know I am trans and choose to use the proper pronouns.

I am feeling more and more confident about blending in. I don't pass quite yet but, I am getting there. You have a very feminie face now and I personaly think that you are beautiful.

Enjoy this new place in life to the fullest.

Peace & Love Amanda

Esa es una señora alta! (That is one tall lady!)

It was a Mexican Restaurant.

Amanda you should never have told her that she was beautiful - Laura does not have enough storage available for all of the new pictures! :lol:

Nice going Lizzy - now find out if waiters in a French Restaurant are rude to you while calling you ma'am.

Love ya,

Sally

Lizzy, you got ma'am'd in Spanish because usted es una mujer bonita.

That's why.

Not really a surprise any more, Elizabeth. You've reached a point where you don't even need to try.

You are who you always were. Its as plain as that cute little nose on your face. :)

I am happy for you Lizzy. Now you just have to start going to other authentic restaurants and see if you can get ma'amed in another language.

That caught me off guard the first time it happened to me.

Then again usually when I'm out with friends we get 1 bill and just divide it up so when the waiter asked I kind of blanked for a second.

      Dump that doctor!   A doctor is a HIRED SERVICE PROFESSIONAL.  No more "holy" than a mechanic, a plumber, or anybody else in the trades.  Just like anybody else you hire, if they have a bad attitude or do crap quality work, get rid of them ASAP.  It amazes me how in the USA we don't have clear prices related to medical services, and how people will put up with crap from a doctor that they wouldn't from anybody else.  And it seems that doctors give bad service at approximately the same rate as other tradespeople.  Good help is hard to find!   Your body is more important than your car or your bathtub. Don't be afraid to assert yourself.

      I can't do that for myself...my partners do that for me. I guess I'm damaged goods.  I think part of me never totally grew up, because I'm not able to do adulting on my own.  There's no "wise parent" part of me because I didn't get here on my own.    I was stuck in my parents' house until GF rescued me.  Before age 26, my parents made all my decisions.  After age 26, I maybe decide some things, but mostly GF or my husband take care of it.  I need my partners around to remember even the basic stuff, like sleeping and eating at reasonable times.  Solo, I'm totally lost.

      Now that I think about it, part of why I enjoy my noisy family so much is because I don't have to have much of an inner life.  I don't really like being left to my own thoughts....all that mess in my brain.  Maybe better to have an active outer life than an inner one?

      Sometimes we are faced with situations where the only response possible is grief.  Things will never be as we want them; people die, we lose things we cherish, we do not obtain what we earnestly desire.  I see some of those situations here; there are tools available to help you through the grieving process.  It's not easy.

      I would be happy to just have 4 disabilities. I take 27 different medications and it does little. I tried working when I got out of the military but couldn't maintain one. I have a lot of mental disorders myself. It would be neat to learn about each other's background. I do understand just wanting to be normal. My job is a stay-at-home parent which is exactly tougher than a regular job especially being a single parent.

      It is 5 posts for PM's from Members, but you can receive and respond to PM's from Moderators or Administrators before then.  This one is post #3 for you.

      Rich as in happy? Far from it. I'm happy about my kids but I shouldn't put all my happiness on them. I take care of myself and do the best I can. I'm happy and content that I have a house and car but nothing that can't be taken away from me like in an instant. I completely lack motivation and don't even want to do my walks anymore. I can't get a membership somewhere because I have kids that are mostly with me. I put myself out there for hoping something to come up and be good, but it's has always been like getting hit in the back of the head.

      Oh I'm wearing a blessed girl t shirt and blue capris. Nothing special today. It was just doing nothing day and feel guilty about it.

      Hi, I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet I don't think (I think it's 5?). I'm poor myself since I can't work, but my parents are luckily helping me get surgery covered by insurance since I am still on their insurance and they have flexible spending each year. I live far away from them, halfway across the country, but I'm glad I have their support.   On the day to day... having a disability sucks. I wish I could just work like everyone else and have a normal life, but my mental disorders prevent me from doing most things.   I'm glad someone else understands at least.

      Very pretty y'all. 4" heels is the max I can handle and not for long period of time. I don't see how women wear 5" and above. I love my feet. I sure don't want to punish them.

      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up.

      Sorry I have been absent a lot but I do read your posts though. 
    • Ashley0616
      @Michelle_S lol it took a year to get that many. It's nice to have a large number but having the thoughts of helping someone far outweigh the number of posts. I have been absent a lot lately. Back at it tomorrow though lol.
