New Shoes!

I know Payless doesn't have the best quality shoes, but they're the only place in my area that has shoes in my size and mostly my style. I was walking through there with a friend today and fell in love with 2 different pairs:

I bought the flats and as soon as my next payday rolls around I'm going back for the heels. The flats fit AMAZINGLY and they're super comfy. I'm wearing them right now and I can barely tell I have them on. I highly recommend checking them out if you get a chance!

Hi Natalie,

Payless is a good place - I really can't afford to go to the places that ask twice as much. And, for a girl, quantity is sometimes more important than quality - It seems that no matter how many shoes I have, it's not enough. So, enjoy your shoes - they're priceless!

I think I have those flats too, BTW

Love, Kat

Those Ballet slippers are very much like the ones I wore all around Memphis when Lizzy, Dee Jay and I met for the first time.

I walked everywhere (not too well because I still weighed over 340 pounds at the time) and I still have them - wore them last week.

Mine are smooth leather and yes Payless carries up to size 13 in a few styles.

Love ya,

Sally

In my experience Payless shoes last just as well as the more expensive shoes-sometimes longer and they have stylish shoes. It's a good choice.

We always try to get there for the BOGO sales

Congrats on scoring those cute ballet slippers too.

Hugs

I was hoping for BOGO when I went in, but it wasn't on. Oh well, it'll roll around again soon enough. Oh, and if you have wider feet like I do, the flats are great. I was able to buy them in a regular width and they fit perfectly! I'm going back friday night hopefully to snatch up the heels. They were both a little on the expensive side ($33 for the flats and $45 for the heels) but I think they're well worth it. The only thing I'm sad about is that my feet are too gigantic for the skinny jeans and flats look that I find so cute. :(

The flats look so adorable I might just have to go get myself a pair. I cant war big heels yet I'm too young still, even though once in awhile my mom lets me wear my 4 inch ones only when I am dressing fancy though. American Eagle is an amazing store too :). Anyhows love the shoes, flats are a need they are comfy, take two seconds to put on and just are amazing :) Well hope you have fun shoe shopping!

Payless.com - you can order on line. If you have a store near you, they will ship there free, otherwise there is a charge. American Eagle is a very good brand and I have many - they make a larger shoe and they fit me well (12W or 13C/D). Good prices at Payless - other on lines stores, but usually more expensive, are Endless.com and Zappo.com.

Fiona is another good brand that is not too expensive.

Cute cute cute! I'd love to go to a "brick and mortar" store to buy my shoes. Not much out there in size 14. Oh well, the joys of having big paws...

They are, and I cannot stress enough how comfy the heels are. They're I think a little over 4" but they don't feel like it. Well, I still teeter around in them because I need practice lol but still, they rock.

      Correction: MUCH more peace than I had before.     Profound improvement.  Gratitude. Make it the best possible.

      @Sally Stone I am genuinely sorry that I haven't been able to respond to your amazing story and example. Life has just been throwing multiple challenges my way.   I live close enough to Harrisburg to have been seriously thinking about attending the conference next year. Of course, your latest discussion of living part-time gives me pause because the fits me right now. I've been tempted to reach out to the organization and start a dialogue. I have signed up for their newsletter.   Any thoughts on if/how I should proceed?

      + 1   To answer the question, yes, I am at peace with myself. I only reached that point a couple of years ago when I finally realized that I didn't have to hate my masculinity and push it aside, to accept and make room for my femininity.    There are many things in my life that I intensely dislike and actually resent, nothing to do with gender, but the inner glow that I constantly feel from my inner woman is strong enough to rise above all that. I feel serene as a result.

      Although I like the health benefits of bicycling, I'm mostly a bicycle commuter.  The nice thing about commuting is that it gets you out there even when you don't want to do it.  And you don't have to slot a specific time for it.   I've been working from home exclusively for 12 years, so that wound up with me just not biking very much.  I was in a position where the doctor prescribed "rapid weight loss" to me back in 2011, and I decided back then that exercise might be counterproductive in those efforts contrary to what we hear so much out in the world.  So I was able to lose 60 pounds solely by calorie reduction.  I had good eating and exercise habits before I put on all that weight in my late 30's, so when the weight came off, I started feeling better and went back to those old routines.   Back in 2020, I got really frustrated at not bicycling, so I setup a schedule to bike for fun (always reminds me of the line in Back to the Future "run for fun?").  My house is basically in a valley, so it is a climb out of here.  I prefer the hills to the flat.  It's fun to get the wind in your hair and go fast a little bit.  I'm not as strong as I used to be.  I'm always able to climb out of the neighborhood, but coming up the hill on the other side on the way back from downtown is too much for me now after a long ride and I've been walking my bike up that hill.  There are not many other bicyclists around, but that hill is an intersection for bicycling traffic in this part of town and other bicyclists have been asking me if I'm OK?  I always say yes, I like walking just as much as biking!   I ended up riding 700 miles in 2020 (50 miles a week [Wed, Fri, Sun] for 4 months or so) and then 300 miles in 2021.  I sold my car 6 months ago, so I've mostly been biking for transportation this year.  It's funny how the car is a magnet to restaurants and fast food.  I did a report on my spending this year and I've only spent $12 on fast food in the last 6 months.  Here I'm going to run that report again!!   Fast Food: 2024 (Jan-May) (no car): $12.53 2023 (Jan-Dec): $1,062.72 2022 (Jan-Dec): $624.96   I was working a full time job with a lot of other obligations during 2023 and I had a Fiat EV that I was driving all over town.  I had it in 2022 as well.  I've been on two 40 mile rides this year.  One was a group ride through the rain and the other was to a doctor appointment.  40 miles is about as much as I can handle.

      Hi there, @Amy Powell. Welcome aboard, by the way! 🙂   Just wondering if your sensitivity is due to the material of the panties, assuming that it might be different to what you used to wear? Also, the style of the panties? And, is it sensitivity or pain? Do you tuck?   I'm in the opposite position in that unfortunately, I don't have much feeling down there at all. I normally wear stretch cotton boyleg shorties during the day and good ol' fashioned cotton granny panties in bed at night, but I do have a selection of other stuff, including stretchy nylon panties in various styles too.

      Yes, pretty much.  I am happy with who I am.  I no longer feel the need to pretend to be anyone or to act a part, either male or female.  I am just myself.  I feel a little self-conscious if I am not presenting noticeably female, for example if I am in my grubbies out in the garden.  I always wear a hat if I am not wearing a wig, to cover my MPB.  But mostly, if I am out in public, I just wear whatever nice clothes I feel like wearing that day and go about my business.   In fact, I am so relieved at not having to act any more that, when one of the directors at the theatre asked me if I would consider being on stage, I said no way.  I realize now how stressful it was to act a part 24/7 for 62 years, and I am enjoying not acting so much that I can't imaging doing it "for fun".   I am less at peace with the direction the world is heading, and that stresses me quite a bit.
    • April Marie
      I think this is a perfect answer for me, as well. I am at peace with understanding who I am yet not fully happy with where I am in transition.

      Hi there @BobbiSkunk. Welcome aboard, by the way! 🙂   I cycle a bit, not in a group, just alone when I feel like it. My bike is a basic hybrid with straight handlebars and a 2x8 gearset. My basic 'short ride' route is along a flat shared path in a linear park which runs next to a creek, with a loop at the end around a small lake, and back again. It is a bit over 6km (4 miles) and takes me around 15-20 minutes to complete.   I sometimes go on longer rides either through town including short steep hill climbs and eventually to a path alongside the highway which then connects to the path along the creek, about 10km (6 miles) in total and taking around 45 minutes due to the hilly sections, or I head off on a gravel cross-country trail towards a neighboring town and turn around when I feel like it.     I think the important thing to consider is not to push yourself too hard! I haven't actually been on my bike for a few weeks now, preferring to go for long walks instead, but if I went for a ride tomorrow it would only be the short and easy one. I wouldn't try a strenuous ride until I was 'back in the groove'.

      @Willow, thank you for teaching me something! The Rockies are famous, and I have heard of the Appalachians too, but had no idea that as a result the land in between is a perfect nursery for twisters. I have also heard of what is known as Tornado Alley but just assumed that it was a fairly narrow north/south band of land not involving multiple states across. I know better now!   Bushfires and floods are our go-to natural disasters here. Some of our fires are as savage as what California regularly experiences nowadays. I also live in a fairly active earthquake state, but they are generally small, often not felt, and nothing more than a curiosity. But we did have a magnitude 5.9 in 2021 up in the mountains which caused some damage in Melbourne 200km away. We seem to experience something between a 5.0 and 5.5 every few years but the epicenters are normally away from populated areas. Still big enough to give me the heebie-jeebies!   One thing I learnt after a 5.4 we had in 2012, which was closer and felt stronger here than the 5.9, is that the Richter scale is logarithmic - a magnitude 5 is ten times stronger than a 4 and a 6 is ten times stronger than 5 and 100 times stronger than a 4. Scary!

      Good morning   Another early summer ish day here.  Sunny, humid and upper 80s° (curious to see what our editor does with the degree symbol).    Our son and his wife are coming to visit next week!  Yahoo!  She has never visited us in SC and he hasn’t been here for a long time.  But we live on opposite sides of the country.   i do realize that it is hard to find some one to take care of their Lab and now you can add a young energetic lab puppy so it’s two.   i got some work to do cleaning and making their bed for them.  But they have a real bed.  (Tell you about that another time)   @Ivy we were one state once but split over our differences.  But both are beautiful places to live and each made vital contributions to making this a country or group of United States against the King of England.  Sorry the history that I never thought I liked is spewing out.   coffee is good this morning.  We went out to dinner last night.  Our son sent us money I guess it was for Mother’s Day to have a nice dinner and we finally got around to it.  She had seafood Mac and cheese (full of lobster, crab and shrimp) and I had all you can eat crab legs.  My wife’s favorite nice restaurant is a place called the Claw House.   Well, time to walk the dog. She is reminding me of that.  She is a strange one.  In the evening she will curl up by the front door, or on our bed. In the morning she curls up at the back door. But and night she spends most of the night either in a chair or on the floor in our bedroom.  Basically, where ever she wants that’s where she is.  As long as mommy is close by.   willow
