well you can't just ask us to where's your good thing?

I'm gonna say a couple. I connected with my boss over geeky star trekkieness. I got caught using eye liner as a writing tool (someone stole my pen) and while everyone made fun of me one of my coworkers said they thought it was a good thing I was open minded enough not to care about how "boys don't use that" sigh nearly outed myself when my boss said those words. And I was hired at another job but I don't know if I should take it or not.

My daughter's fiance got called in to work today. Permanently. After my daughter missing 2 days work because of snow the timing was perfect.

And I feel better than I have in weeks.

I went shopping after work today, as my male self. Went to two different stores and the ladies in each store were very supportive about dresses and suggestions for me on what to wear. It felt great. :)

I drew porn!! \o/

This might not seem like much, but as someone who's been in a complete slump of un-inspiration for the past several months, this is a huge deal for me. Also my first time drawing anything naughty. :D Actually, it's a few different firsts for me since I don't draw very often to begin with. I've already spent about fourteen hours working on it (sketched it out last night and have been working on it in Illustrator for the last ~13 hrs) and my head is about to explode, but I'm so happy with the way it's coming along. One of the guys still needs a head and the a couple of their hands still look like squids, but since it goes along with the chapter of my story that comes AFTER the one I have yet to finish, I have some time. XD

Did also manage to write some of the scene that goes with the picture, so that's an extra bonus. ^.^

The same good thing that starts each of my days. I woke up as the real me - Mia, in the arms of my loving spouse. Knowing that no matter what ever else happens we have each other

I saw my family doctor for my bi-annual checkup, and my lab results were dang near perfect. She was ecstatic, and so was I, the more so

because they included my liver tests that show my HRT meds aren't having any negative effects on me. That gives me hope that in March,

I'll get my Spiro dosage upped. :)

Oh, and I want to add, I'm an insulin dependent Type II diabetic, so it also proves that with proper monitoring, any of you other diabetics

out there shouldn't have cause to worry.

I realized that during the three weeks that I've been home for winter break, I've lost exactly ten pounds. Totally. Awesome. :D Especially since I haven't been exercising. Or eating healthy. :x

Goal weight of under 190lbs, here I come! B)

Maria needs add good news!

My uncle was smart enough to get his Chickens out of the Flood danger zone, and all the chickens are alive and clucking :)

Love, Maria. :wub:

Went back to my CD days! Mardi Gras is near - so I just bought a garter belt and nylons with the black back seam. SOOO cool and sexy looking. If the weather is warm enough, I will doll up and go to the 'quarter' and try to pass as a drag queen, maybe!

I have not transitioned at work yet and still present as male, but anyway I was busy taking care of an elderly patient, who read my name badge and said, "oh, you are the girl with a boys name." I felt like just bending over and giving her a hug. Very good start to my day.

GRAND! oh my oh my - so good!

I found out my daughter's fiance will be working 7 days a week for quite awhile. Good financially and for not having a macho cis male around all the time. :D

He's nice, I like him, but he also drives me crazy and makes me so dysphoric I want to punch something. By the time he is home more they will be moved to the separate lower level of the house.

Ah, life is improving.

I had my lunch break at a very nice restaurant in the mall where I work but what made it so great was meeting Natasha, her sister and a very small lady and of course my wonderful roommates, Lizzy and Donna Jean.

It made work a lot easier to handle.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi,

The best thing about today was that I woke up! At my age, that's always a good start to the morning.

:wub:

_________________

I like this thread. Forces me to pull my head out the pollution and realize grass is still growing underneath it all.

My youngest daughter held her little brother today, cuz he was reaching out for her (he's five months as of last Sat). My daughters love their baby brother, and he can't stop looking at them when they're near.

My baby girls both told me they love me more times than I can count today, and I got to show them how much I love them. It's one thing to say, I got to walk it today, and we all spent some time just to hug and cuddle today.

It's the simplest of things, takes no effort and happens all the time, but it's the greatest thing in the world to me. These children love me, for no reason that that I am there. I didn't have to impress them, I didn't have to coax it out of them, they love for no reason than just because, they do.

Oh, after receiving a collections call and getting all angry over the phone, Raven, my oldest, wanted to color a picture for me to cheer me up.

She said "I don't have pictures of boys in this book, they're all girls and mermaids and stuff," like boys only want princes and action heroes. So I'm like "that's okay, I like girls too."

"Really?!"

Went upstairs to use the facilities, happened to look in the mirror, and DAMMN- a woman was looking back at me!

I forget sometimes...

      What season are you?  If you don't know, look around on the internet. Or ask a girl friend..  Maybe someone here is even a color consultant?   And there are guides on figure-flattering clothes for all shapes that you should look into.    Abby

      Just know that your kids will probably turn out OK, in spite of the chaos.  One of my partners was widowed in her very early 30s, left with 3 kids.  They're teens now, and one graduated a year ago and is working, but still living at home.  A few bumps in the road, but the three are turning into responsible young adults.  It is amazing how resilient kids can be.  They should be able to handle your changes as well.

      I've been transitioning now for eight months but have been wearing women's clothing for 2+ years. I am over weight and approaching my 72nd birthday. I have purchase my solid color clothing online and recently graduated to 'V' neck tops. I have been hesitant to get anything more girly due to family issues, though with my hair style I am able to totally pass when dressed in a skirt and blouse.   About two  months ago I finally went and got my nails done (which I truly which I had done long ago) though not red nor pink (again family issues). To date I don't think I am having problems with being trans unlike others seem to have. The biggest problem I am having is with my clothing. Any suggestions my girl friends might have would be greatly appreciated.   Cindy

      Umm.... if a post is ignored, live with it?   My stuff gets ignored sometimes, and its OK.  My life is different, and may seem kind of wacky to others.  Some folks just can't relate, or if I'm needing advice they just don't have it.  Diversity is like that sometimes.  If your post gets missed, don't take it personally.  Also, stuff that is new on weekends seems to get ignored more, since most folks are busy with family or other stuff during that time.  Overall, I think people here are pretty helpful.

      I'd really love a professional stove.  There's actually one I want at Lowes, but its like $6k.  I've got plenty of money, the issue is that I'm not the queen (king?) of my den.  Or even of the kitchen.  My partner (husband's wife #1) owns that territory, and she's very attached to what she's got.  One of our stoves has 6 burners and a large oven, the other has 4 burners and a regular household sized oven.  And of course, there's always the wood-burning equipment.    Today was interesting.  We had the first campaign fundraiser for our sheriff and my sister.  My sister is running to be constable of our township.  Pretty sure she'll win, as her opponent is an old dude who is mostly running on "Don't elect a woman for a man's job"    What's weird is our sheriff is running as a Democrat, but he's conservative.  And his Republican opponent sounds like a leftist.  Welcome to Upside-down-ville   And of course all the kids got the chance to sit in a sheriff's car, and play with the lights.   We had a barbecue lunch and a dessert auction.  I baked three apple pies for it, and I was shocked that they sold for $20 each, since my cooking isn't that great.  My partner made her famous "Chocotorta."  It's like a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and it tastes amazing.  Usually we have it for Christmas and other really special occasions.  Two guys got into a bid war, and it sold for $175!!!    Yep, this is politics in the South.  Barbecue, pies, and police cars.  A great way to spend a Saturday

      Yes. That report is part of a conspiracy to torture and murder trans people. It is a lie. It is evil.

      TBH, I have no idea where to start with makeup.

      It seems plain to me, that this thing is simply a cherry-picked excuse to persecute trans people - especially trans youth in the UK.  And it will also be used here in the states to legislate against trans care here as well.   The right wing has already made up their mind about us, and they are just looking for "evidence" to legislate against us.     Seems like if they were really for "freedom" as they claim, they would leave us alone to live in our personal "delusions".   I mean, I have no problem with cis people.  Some of my best friends are cis people.

      I am so happy with Maybelline products. For my basic needs, I love their Magic Eraser. I used the app to dial in the best shade and it works great just -- even as a very light "foundation"

      I think this can be a big part of it. There are times when I just don't have the experience or expertise to respond.   Is there a specific post we've missed @Ladypcnj?  I remember that my intro post had less than 10 responses. Some of that has to do with timing, too.    I've also found that the more I posted to various threads the more responses I've received. But, I can tell you that there are times when almost no one responds to my posts. Don't take it personally. Keep posting where you feel comfortable and people will get to know you.   It really is a friendly and accepting place.

      Oh, the guilt can be overwhelming, can't it? It's kind of like the joke about the difference between Protestants and Catholics.   Protestants have sex without guilt.   Catholics have guilt without sex.   It seems as if guilt is just a natural by product of our gender identity confusion whether we have any awareness of it or not. We feel different and so we blame ourselves for not feeling as others say we should.   What a tremendously uplifting moment it is when we can finally shed that guilt. Bask in the relief, M.A.   And having the right therapist seems so crucial to me. I had, fortunately, a very quick and strong connection and trust in my therapist. She was a life saver for me. Literally.   Again, welcome to TGP!!
