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!

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

JJ

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.....

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.
