A Place To Say Something To Others!

Sometimes it is just so miraculous and hard to believe just how much love and support there is here

And I find myself being nicer to everyone I meet because it has become a habit to respect people and see them as people too!

The circle of love ripples out. Maybe someday it will reach far enough to change the world!

JJ

JJ - we are changing the world - we start by changing our own internal world then migrate to those we love. And if those we love truly love us as well, we then have made that step toward having understanding. It isn't a perfect system but it is all we have. And it is based so fundamentally on love, it cannot fail.

Ripples, JJ - ripples on the pond of human interaction. Complicated, unknowable results, but the only way - our way.

So hug everyone you know. Tell them a bit about yourself- and listen, really listen to what they say about themselves.

You taught me that!

Acceptance, forgiveness and love.

Listening and then giving back. Support.

I learned them all here. And more.

Well, finished the weed spraying! *Happy Dance*

Yea! Now you can shower off an get all girly again!

And your friends won't have to worry about you and the nasty spray.

Donna Jean has conditioned us to be concerned about those doing yard/property work.

They don't have Amish boys there do they? But what about those crazy tourists??

This was on a different thread...... Did someone say DOS ????!!!!

xcopy C:\DOS\*.* A: /s /v /h

Ahh, 360k soft-sectored diskettes

What headaches and frustrations that brings back!

I have my old DOS manual in my 80s keepsakes.

And i have forgotten almost all of it. A language too long unspoken.

Do you remember when a "big" game could take a dozen disks to load?

And looked like a jerky cartoon? But it was all so exciting and new then.

And it taught us patience and perseverance. At least me.

"Space Potatoes" was one I remember. Except it preceded DOS, was one that was typed in on a Radio Shack Model III machine. Eventually got a cassette recorder for keeping programs on.

Here is another DOS related function. Can you guess or remember what it did?

Sometimes I feel like I have nothing useful to say.

Other times I think that I might but no one would really want to hear it so I don't say it.

So yesterday did turn out quite exciting. Went to the wellness center, got some things off my chest with a nice counselor, met up with a friend, ate at panda express, gave blood when we came upon a blood bus, found the "speech & hearing" clinic nearby but they said its only a "speech" clinic now, got sick in some bushes from heat exhaustion walking back to the apartment, friend was there to help me out at least, but after I got sick then I was dehydrated so I almost passed out a few times just a few blocks from my apartment and had to lie down in the grass or right inside my apartment complex because it was hard to make it that last few feet.

But then I got inside and he got me some water and we played video games and watched a movie and chatted.

And then he left and I still forgot about the androgyne meeting until maybe 11:30... a bit late.

I am very happy just to stay inside today!

Be careful with that heat exhaustion!

Once it gets you like that you are always more susceptible to it. At least that's what my Dr said years ago and it has been true for me.

It's good to give blood but perhaps not on a day that will tax your body in other ways like the heat.

I'm glad you had a good talk with a counselor and a good day except for the heat exhaustion. That could have turned tragic so take extra care okay?

Had to deal with that heat issue not too long ago. Called into work, an my boss wanted a doc's note. I'm like "so while I'm unbalanced and fading in and out of consciousness, you want me to drive to a doctor?" <_<

Yeah, I didn't see the heat exhaustion coming. My blood giving went fine in March, but I went straight back home then, and it wasn't a heat index of over 100. I was even drinking plenty of liquids this time around. The blood bus gave us cold packs, and I used one after my initial sickness, but it didn't last long in the heat. I think I might just sit next summer out.

Next time I can give blood is September. I'm hoping it'll be cooler then! And I think I'll use the "buddy system" again... just in case.

It sucks that I might be more susceptible now though. Florida is so hot... I'll just be careful. At least I know all the symptoms now. I could always go in an air conditioned building too, drink form a water fountain, etc. when I'm in the middle of campus, I got sick in the middle of campus, but I didn't start feeling faint until I was only a couple blocks from home.

I will be careful in future though, heat exhaustion is one thing, but I know heat stroke is really, really bad.

(And this is why I advise against binding in the summer in Florida or other hot location - I wasn't, I was just wearing a sports bra, a thin-ish fabric shirt, light weight cargo shorts, and sandles, and it still got me. Maybe the blood giving contributed to the heat exhaustion, but I'm not so sure. So be careful out there...)

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.

I do get low blood sugar (or I'm pretty sure I do, never did get around to testing it), but I know the symptoms of that, and it's very different. Usually I get irritable, paranoid, and claustrophobic on top of feeling sick. Worst part is if I'm feeling like that I usually don't know what's wrong with me while it's happening, so I used to rely on my family to clue me in. Though now with diet changes I don't get episodes like that very often at all.

Las' couple of days I been inactive. Las' couple of days I been feelin real crap. Overwhelmed, incompetent, unable to cope or deal, and just dead within. Somethings still make me smile, but most the time I'm either at my break point or simply using anger to avoid a meltdown. Don't wanna bring the boards down, but I got no one to talk to. Wife is more miserable than I am and I'm tired of bringing her down. Sorry to vent here, but being happy takes more effort than I can put out right now.

It is the only business anywhere that the employees are so eager to get their work assignments - all written on post-it notes!

Donna Jean is very popular on paydays as well!

Too many images - Dee Jay half covered in post-it notes surrounded by workmen and Amish boys!

I'm leaving that right where I found it.

Love ya,

Sally

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.
