I wanna learn the rules of poker but I can't read long winded stuff. :-/ and words in long sentences unless I myself have written it never make sense in my brain. :P lol anyone know How I can learn the rules? Or an easy way to learn pretty much anything else to be honest! I need a distraction!

There's a pretty decent explanation of the rules here: http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-rules-texas-holdem

It also comes complete with a playable game to try it out. :)

So I was having a little stroll. Outside of where I live and this kid riding on his bike comes up to me and asks me a few questions about my leg and why I'm walking with a stick the first question being the usual "Have you broken your leg" which I always have to answer "Nope." I always just say there, peoples facial expressions to this news never fail to amuse me a little. As they look at me with confusion. To which I'll quickly reply "It's because of an illness" I refuse to say any more about my disability though, I don't particularly like talking about it. And since like the end of last year I seem to manage to get myself into fits of denial about my illness and won't take notice of it till I'm rolling round on the floor in pain or something...Anyway I've gone off onto another subject now.:P anyway then they said "were you riding a bike the other day" I looked dumbfounded and my sarcasm in me was about to reply "Do I look like a ride bike to you?" lol! But I figured I best not, this was a little kid. He may not have understood my sarcasm and got offended by it. So I just replied a simple "no" anyway he then said "Were you shouting my name or something the other day" I was like "er..Nope" I don't even know this kid! I just know he lives near by! to that he said "It's just you look like a friend of mine that's all" anwyway to that I just said "Right." not sure what else to say. (I'm not generally good with kids) So I then said "See ya" and we walked off he said see ya and rode off on his bike. Anyway...Of course I have several questions in my mind: Firstly Is his friend male? I hope to god the friend he's on about is a male friend of his! And with that if it is a male, is his friend older than him? Again I sure hope to god he is otherwise I look like a 10 or 11 year old! So now I'm feeling paranoid. :P

Does anyone else here have moments like this?

Hi Matt,

Sometimes I need a walker and people are always surprised-they usually blurt out something like "Oh, I didn't realize you used one of those" -I resist the urge to make a sarcastic comment about just liking to have to drag it around.

Kids don't bother me. I've worked with kids in some capacity most of my adult life and value their honesty-even when it's uncomfortable.

Kids have friends of all ages. Don't worry about the age thing. Though i do understand.

Once I was judging a speech contest when I was in college. The one I was to judge first was 7th graders.(12 year olds) I was sitting in the room wondering how much worse the snowstorm outside was going to get when this kid comes in and starts talking to me and wondering if the judge would be able to make it in to judge us and how glad he was another contestant had made it.

Yeah -every 19 year old wants to be taken for a 7th grader. This kid nearly passed out and fled the room when I identified myself. (The contest was called of for the blizzard). I admit that I went home and changed my hairstyle and never wore that particular outfit again!

I've never looked even close to my age. After 30 I didn't mind although getting carded at 39 was a annoying as it was amusing. Now I like it.

It's what's in your eyes that matters in the end.

So I was walking again and they started shouting for me again. One of them that wasn't there yesterday asked how i'd broken my leg. LOL the amount of times I get asked that. :P But they were shouting from a distance. Anyway yea... lol I've also been reminded about my illness today cause on several occasions I just had to stop and I'm talking such a tiny little walk that no one should feel they need to stop from where I walk to back to my place. lol By the time I got to the door to put the key in I just felt like keeling over. So Lay on the couch for a while. Urgh. Hate being reminded. Hate knowing that that is as far as I can walk till I need my wheelchair! *downs a beer in one gulp* Don't worry that is the only beer for me. Just to calm me down. :P

You know I might just start coming up with all sorts of really cool stories about what could have happened to my leg. :P Like I was swimming with sharks and a shark got hold of my leg, I'm lucky to still have my leg! things like that haha

I think this is exactly what you should do. :lol: Get some enjoyment out of their reactions to make up for the same old question. ^_^

Cowboy: some Johnny Cash maybe?

I've been feeling extra guy-ish lately, almost like I'm already on T. My face even feels oilier already. Some kind of weird psychosomatic reaction? I've been shaving my face (even though all I have is some peach fuzz) up to the short sideburns, like a dude does. All my friends all calling me Calvin. I want T!! I want some serious male bonding! Let's go fishing, guys, or hiking up to a beautiful view and a campfire where we can roast the fish we caught!

I am man, hear me roar!! B)

      Not to justify it, but this is what happens when folks rely on accepting money from the government.  It just isn't secure!  When the times change and different winds blow, you find yourself coming up short on funds.  Don't trust the feds, don't trust the state.    I don't believe in separation of church and state.  I believe the USA is a Christian nation, but that Congress doesn't make an establishment of which kind of church that refers to.  Reading the writings left by the Founders (who were mostly Christian or Deist), I think it is pretty clear that they wanted to avoid the bloody Protestant vs. Catholic conflicts that had been going on in Europe for the previous 250 years.    I think one huge problem is that we've had a separation of culture and state already.  There's been an abandonment of traditional American culture, or at least a significant change in it.  People often act servile, not independent.  People seek government help rather than taking care of themselves and those around them.  Its like everybody is waiting for an answer, like baby birds in the nest chirping to have something delivered to them from up above.    To me, the federal government has two purposes - to keep foreign forces and influence out of our territory, and to tax foreign trade to protect domestic economy.  They've pretty much failed at both. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Actually, yes!  Its how I met my two trans friends.  My husband helped to arrange jobs and housing for both of them.  And in the process, they also fell in love, and so far their relationship is going well.  I'm glad to have been part of helping out.

      I am not sure what "it" you are asking about.  The surgery, or the increased urgency of peeing?   I haven't felt any increased urgency.  I can hold it for as long as I used to, I think.  One thing that is different is that, once I start, it is almost impossible to stop the flow.  My pelvic floor physio said I had really good control of my pelvic floor muscles, but it didn't help with that.   My goal for surgery was just to have a female body.  I think I was foreseeing the persecution that is rising now.  Part of my reasoning, though I didn't plan it out clearly in those terms, was that I would be able to pass a strip-search gender check.  I was thinking more about passing in locker rooms, but passing in police lineups may be more necessary if certain political elements get their way.  
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Wow.  That's crazy that somebody just comes onto your private place and starts demanding stuff.  You're absolutely right to press charges.  It seems like there's very little respect for private property these days. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Actually, my husband has two different job titles at his company.  He's transportation manager, and also one of the project managers.  Its funny because he's got an office in the main building, and a smaller one in the transportation building, and he's rarely in either one.  He's got three site foremen who report to him, and also the shop supervisor and drivers' supervisor.  So he usually spends his days at installation sites, meeting clients, or handling all the paperwork that keeps the transportation side of the business compliant with FMCSA rules.    But he's definitely a truck driver by personality, and he taught me how to drive and helped me get my CDL.  Kind of a backup option for a job if I ever needed one.  I think this week is going to be one of those "all hands on deck" kind of occasions, so we'll probably take a load or two.  I'm looking forward to it.  Its really funny when I'm driving and we get into a truck stop.  I get out of the cab, and I get a lot of stares because of my size and looking like I'm a teenager.  And we get more stares when we share a shower.

      Yep, this thing is a red flag that people should be super aware of on this site.  I've been working from home exclusively for 12 years.  I'm a house cat like that, so this isn't much of a deterrent for me.  I've been venturing out into the women's restrooms a little bit lately, but as is typical of people like me, I'm just in there to do my business and get out.  I avoid that as much as I can and use those single bathrooms whenever I can.  I went over a year without going to a public restroom.  I just don't go out much.   I haven't stood to pee in 7 years now.  The idea of surgery is very, very scary for me (I wrote a book about it).  I'm likely going to do it though.  I would like some evidence from other transwomen of what it is really like.  I'm not one to take plane flights, but taking a flight for that is well justified.  Before my testosterone was blocked, there was a much larger sexual side to M->F transition.  Now sexuality plays a back seat to the idea of wanting to pee like a woman.  It's always been in my mind, but the desire for that has grown.   Respectfully, Lydia_R

      I've gotten to the point lately where I'm thinking of the extension of the separation of church and state to separation of culture and state.  Government's purpose to ensure a construct of civility.  Food, clothing, shelter and justice for the individual.  That includes the roads as far as they pertain to the distribution of food, clothing and shelter.  And "ensure" is different than "provide".   I think that there is no way to truly express yourself or have a good foundation without having a personal culture.  I like telling stories and teaching lessons through my culture, but I always hope that people don't think I'm promoting my culture beyond it just being visible as an option.

      I would imagine the GOPers are holding that by bull in their hand and paying attention to the Trump version with the nine commandments highlighted.

      Having to call the police on a woman that was being a Karen.Was in my shop fixing my car and wanted me to fix hers.Told her it was my personal shop and told her no.Would not take no for an answer and called the police.I did decide to press trespassing charges on her.I knew she was one of those entitled people

      It is scary, (and as you say, thrilling) at first.  But the more you do it the easier it gets.  I dress fem 24/7 (almost always skirts and dresses) and I live in a conservative county of a "red state".   Sure, there are places I avoid, but I have little desire to be there anyway.  It gets to just be part of who you are.   My experience is that most people don't care, some are curious, and surprisingly many (usually other women) friendly.   The first steps are the hardest.  It's similar with bathrooms.
