Have two different doctors to contact now about HRT. One is an OBGYN, maybe both are.

Also have an appointment next week to get my wig and hair styled. May also do makeup if there is time.

Oh Colton,

Don't give up on love because you are the best thing for so many - believe me if I was younger, I'd be looking for someone as great as you.

We tend to think about what we cannot offer and over look all of what we can and unconditional love is the best thing that you can offer to anyone.

I love you,

Sally

Colton,

You are such an awesome guy-some girl is gonna be very, very luck to have you some day.

You have a great heart and charm-that's what girls are really looking for.

When someone loves you then you are the world to them-just as you are. Because of WHO you are.

And that is enough for any girl.

Love Ya

Thank you JJ ! I checked, and all of the photos still appear to be there in the gallery. There were just the two photos from the Saturday makeup session. It was suggested to me that I pick up a few magazines so I could give the stylist some idea of what I wanted (passing) :) . With what I have found on the internet, I believe I am getting caught up in the 'mind games' that are played on women to make them feel insecure about themselves and feel compelled to spend a lot on different products.

There are a lot of things going on right now, so guess I had better leave it at that.

Huggs everyone!

Okay Opal-maybe I just wasn't looking rigt. I've been eager o see them

The temperature just dropped 22 degrees from 108!

I know I've complained about the heat a lot but it as been the hottest summer here in 20 years.

And this unexpected drop is a very happy thing!

LOL...and something spillable in either hand which never ends up spilled!

How DO you do that?...

Sally I'm so jealous-I can't get enough sleep even in a comfortable bed!

And as for spillable-I spill when I'm awake-falling asleep holding a cup would guarantee a rude-and wet-awakening.

I love my friends but sometimes they make me feel so inadequate!!

Love ya

Oh, JJ....don't feel that way....

Why heck, one night Sally dreamed that she was eating a marshmellow...

When she woke up....her pillow was gone!

Dee Jay!

That was an old one!

As to how I don't spill anything I think it has to do with my eating disorder/religion - all food is sacred and no bite should be spilled or left uneaten!

Don't feel inadequate JJ, it is about my only talent.

Love ya,

Thanks Dee Jay!

And Sally-CUT OUT THAT SELF DEPRECATION!! NOW!! You are a poet, have masses of your "kids" and friends who love you, have had the courage to transition and make a new life for yourself after being in the same place all your life and at a time many are just setting into a "this is the way it'll be forever" rut.

Don't you know when you can and have done all those things and say you have no talent that it makes all those wo look up to you and admire you and listen to you feel that if that is true they must be talentless indeed!

You are a singularly talented person-so be proud of it and take credit were credit is due! If you say self deprecating things enough you can make them true-and what a tragic waste of talent that would be!

Love

Yes-I've got lots of talents I'm proud of and a few faults I'm not-but don't seem to want to give up:D

As far as actually feeling inadequate-maybe sometimes I just can't believe that the people I love, admire and revere feel the same way about me.

I suspect all trans people ave feelings of inadequacy from so many failures at being what they thought they were supposed to be.

But what I really mean by feeling inadequate is that I can barely manage 2 chats-or 1 Skype-while a certain person manages 5, or organize and admit my mistakes like a certain other person we know. And I certainly can't sleep with anything in my hands and find it there when I wake up. I fall asleep reading in the tub and my books prove my lack of ability in that department .

But I am proud of the talents I have.

Love you! (You have been self deprecating at times-just wanted to be sure you didn't head there again-you're too special for that)

Love

If you have a friend who has a bloodglucose tester, extra strips, and an extra needle it might be worth testing to see if your blood sugar level is low.

Has happened to me a couple of times.

Huggs,

Opal

I am not a physician but I do have to test gluclose levels. Non diabetics can also do this.

I have never heard of any side effects to testing - it's like taking your own temperature - so I think this reply is allowable. A doctor charges for a visit PLUS 30 dollars to do this. BUT understand this is self-diagnosis (which is what we diabetics do everyday).

Borrow a friend's meter. Or...

Ebay - look for a 'diabetic glucose testing kit' - especially the ones with just a few test strips included - usually ten (all you need) They come complete, also have a prickking pen. The companies practically give them away - knowing you will have to keep buying those expensive strips ($1.25 each typically). You do not need a prescription.

Here is the range - if fasting the last 12 hours (like before breakfast)- 100 to 150 is usually about standard - that is base. After eating it goes up to usually the 200s, but sometimes less, sometimes more. If you are hypoglycemic (your bloodsugar is too low) it will show in the 60s range - THAT is what you are looking for - if you are passing out because of a lack of food - low readings.

If it gets down into the 30s - get to a hospital immediately because a coma can occur. If it goes into the 600's (hyperglycemic) go to a hospital because a comma can ocur. The insiduousness of glycose imballace is the sypmtoms are similar for too low and for too high. That's why it is necessary to test.

Watch for what is consistant for you. IF there is a drastic change - GO TO A DOCTOR. If your testing, even if fasting, seems to stay in the 200s or more - GO TO A DOCOR because that is an early sign of Diabetes Type II - which is easily treatable.

If you are queezy about getting that little dot of blood for the test strip (a needle prick to the finger tip) disregard this post.

I am diabetic and do this everyday....

It's simple....

At WalMart you can buy a meter and a box (20) test strips for under $20.....

      @Amy Powell your aesthetic reminds me of Anna Sui. Kinda art deco meets romantic meets Bohemian meets rock n roll.   Fashion images: https://www.google.com/search?q=anna+sui+fashion&client=ms-android-google&sca_esv=87940c84487c33f0&sca_upv=1&udm=2&biw=412&bih=790&sxsrf=ADLYWIIV5j67lhM8fvT9dj5QsjqC4t8JAw%3A1716744540336&ei=XHFTZs-SFKiQwbkPyvS6kAQ&oq=anna+sui+fash&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIg1hbm5hIHN1aSBmYXNoKgIIADIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIHEAAYgAQYGDIHEAAYgAQYGEjWKlDuCliMJHACeACQAQGYAaUBoAHhD6oBBDEyLje4AQHIAQD4AQGYAgigAqkGwgIEECMYJ5gDAIgGAZIHAzQuNKAHsVA&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp

      Welcome to Trans Pulse, @Amy Powell!  You've got an impressive bunch of skills and hobbies, and I'm impressed.  Please do have a look around the forums and post wherever you like.  You could even start a thread on one of your hobbies or interests if you like.  I imagine you keep yourself pretty busy with all of that.   We do have many gender fluid folks here that you'll find common cause with.  I look forward to hearing much more from you.   HUGS   Carolyn Marie

      Last year I needed a new handbag.  My requirements include having many interior and exterior pockets, zippers, heavy duty hardware, and it needs to be cross-body.  Amazingly, I found exactly the right one at Macy's, and it was Guess at 50% off! I was astounded.    Carolyn Marie

      When one signs up to and posts onto an online space, it's usually to the agreement of a set of terms and conditions. Basically, you're already signing yourself off to these rules, so you can't get upset if you did legitimately break the space's rules and got your post deleted/hidden/etc. Whether people abuse their power in being admins in some spaces and stretch the rules to seem like something is disobeying them in some way when, in reality, they just disagree with the post... well, that's another story. Freedom of Speech is only to say that the government can't restrict what you say, not ye average citizen, so online platforms completely have the right to remove or censor posts in that regard. The morality of that is pretty often under question, but it technically doesn't interfere with Freedom of Speech since online spaces are run by the public and not the government. Moderation of posts is essentially the same as if you put a whiteboard outside your house and said people could write messages on, you saw a message you found offensive that someone wrote, and then you erased it.

      Don't forget TJ Maxx for purses.  I have purchased several from there.  They offer a great variety with good prices.  You can even find high-end bags at affordable prices.   @Ladypcnj purses are one of my weaknesses as well.

      When I get stuck in androgynous mode for an extended period I have to admit that I salve the dysphoria at times through retail therapy.    And, I've been busy. I search for bargains a lot of eBay, put items on my watchlist, wait for an offer and then typically make a lower counter-offer. Most of the items I buy are new. The strategy has gotten me some amazing deals on brand name clothes.   I will also admi to being a Talbot's Girl and all these are Talbot's items. Their clothes just seem ti fit me well. New in my closet are:

      We have even had them here from time to time I am afraid.   The rights of Free Speech actually carry a weighty responsibility to take the consequences of making that speech and it is that responsibility where the persons making the FREE hateful statements break down.  They insist that the Right shields them from the consequences, but it makes them all the more liable for them in reality.

      When and if a post is removed here, there is always a PM to the poster to explain the action and offer them an opportunity to amend the post to align with T&C's (if possible).     Certainly!  There are always those who will flaunt the rules.

      Actually, Memorial Day is the day where we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.   Veteran's Day, November 11th, is the day where we honor all who served.   Here is something I found that distinguishes among Memorial, Veteran's and Armed Forces day.

      I think Norstrom and Marshalls would be the top leading stores for both fashion and their collections of purses.

      Welcome to TGP, Amy! You'll find many like-minded people here as well as tons of information. Don't worry about trying to describe yourself. Relax, ask questions, and join in where you feel comfortable.    I started out like you, crossdressing in private, even hiding it from my wife, before coming to the realization that it was much more. I'm still only out to my wife, therapist and priest.....and, of course, everyone here. We all understand how difficult it can be to find oneself amid the emotions and challenges.    We are each unique yet share many commonalities.    We're glad you found us!
