Well....................................

Lizzy and I went to Wells Fargo today to cash in an annuity that I have......

She has other money set aside, as well ........

Please don't say "You're lucky"......

Why? Because "Luck" had nothing to do with it......

I started this annuity 20 years ago and worked tons of overtime and didn't take a vacation for 7 years...

And now....we're finally going to get our SRS....

When I called my "Financial Adviser" , she said "You need to save this money for when you're old and need it.....

DUuuuuhhhh....

I'm 62 and Lizzy is 64.........we're old....

We need it......It's time for our SRS.......

It's our time.....period!

God how I love your posts, and Lizzy's to. I'm so happy for you. I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences. Pity the poor nurses. They don't know you girls like we do <VBG>. Hurry home and take care of each other. Kathryn

I was gonna say, Dee Jay, not to spend it all in one place.

But, well, you're gonna spend it all in one place. :D

Better than putting it on the Pass line in a Vegas casino craps table, I'd say. Because you and Lizzie are guaranteed winners.

So....I'm going for the other thing......

Actually Dee Jay hasn't even gotten the money yet and she already went on a Lady Bug buying spree.

We are going to have to keep her in a Lady Bug free zone until the surgery.

Love ya,

It's called working your butt off. It's called making sacrifices. It's called prudent planning.

Like, 'nuff said! You don't owe an explanation to anybody, girl. It's YOUR capital to use freely.

You've chosen your surgeon. You've got confidence in him (assuming it's a him). You're good to go.

Actually, I saw in one of your recent SRS threads where you mentioned that you're NOT using some cut-rate doctor. Hey, nobody said you were, as far as I know. You found a way to finance your surgery, made the deal (or arrangement with whoever), saw the surgeon to get your clearance and, I'm assuming, make a good-faith deposit. What's not to like? All systems are go!

Those on here who want SRS/GRS should keep in mind that ANYTHING can be financed. Okay, most really good SRS surgeons want cashe on the barrel head. Many of them don't accept insurance. No biggie. People can arrange financing terms and conditions with third parites (like you did with your annuity in this case), make the deal, get the funds, pay the surgeon and have the surgery. My point is that it's POSSIBLE and most of us can do it!

Need money for SRS? Make like Donald Trump, think possibilities, make the deal and get it done! Think it can't be done? It CAN be done! Dee Jay found a way. Most of you can too! As for me, I'll most likely not have SRS/GRS. I waffle back on forth on the issue. Anybody who waffles about it most likely SHOULD NOT have the surgery. That's just me.

Those of you that WANT the surgery CAN find a way to have it. Yes, you CAN!

Believe :friends: Lacey

Oh, yeah:

Think The Loy-Jenkins SRS Express is about to roll! Alright! Congrats! All aboard! Roll 'em!

Financial advisors...... yeah some punk who has no idea.........

Ignore the punk, and do what you need to do with your money.

It is your money afterall. The punk has nothing meaningful to say. That punk represents the bank's interests., not yours.

Love

It's all arranged ...it's our money....

It's a perfect deal.... The SRS will be in a major medical facility (USA) and with a very experienced doctor....

Are we excited and happy?

HELL YEAH!

It's the end of this portion of our transition....

It's not the end, though.....

Much to go.....

....and I still need to collect those fees from all those other mods.....(tell ya latter)

If I had ignored my financial adviser and not left my money in his so charming hands I'd have top surgery and skin reduction scheduled for next week already. And he might have had to wait awhile longer to retire I suspect. Lost over 100K that way.

I'd spend my last penny and count it well lost -if I had one instead of my financial adviser having it :)-to get top surgery. Beats spending it on nursing homes and Depends some day anyway.

Go for it girls.

How often do you get to have a lifelong dream come true and how could anyone ever put a price on it?

I am so deeply happy for you both

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie
