J'aime lire le francais ici! There are so many great expressions in French, maybe because they're "foreign" to us "tetes-carrees" :-).

Thanks for your cheerleading Vicey!

Brenda sweety,

I had no idea that you spoke french! Bravo Cherie! Hihihi!

So girls, is it therefore possible for Lucky to do Laser for her beard? I told her that for the legs its just TOO damn expensive, but I can always lend her my painful hair ripping machine MOUAHAHAH!

As for percoset Kathryn, i think ill just buy EMLA, its OTC here :)

I dunno about Laser, but i know for electrolysis you need to buy *time* here, so they have plans for say 2hrs, and they just take time off your card as you use it up... you don't need to pay everytime... so something like eyebrows, which takes say, 10 mins, could only take a full hour in the 5 sessions you may need to clear it completely... its not that expensive for that part of the face...

LEGS on the other hand take something like an hour PER leg PER session.. a friend who did it told me it cost her 2000$ for her two legs... ill keep using my 30$ machine thank you!

again... *il faut souffrir pour être belle!*

xoxo

It's totally possible for Lucky to get laser done on her beard. Mine took 8 sessions before my tech said "No more laser for you, from here on out we'll do electrolysis to get the white/grey hairs and whatever few dark hairs that are left. I dunno how good Lucky is with pain. Laser hurts, even with the cream on. Granted I think it will hurt more without the cream. I have heard if you do laser after you've started HRT it kinda hurts more because your skin is more sensitive and softer from the estrogen. I got all my sessions in before HRT and I muscled through the pain.

I was talking to my Gender Therapist about electrolysis and found out she was a licensed Hypnotherapist and she is going to record a hynotherapy session for me with a trigger to numb my face to pain. I go back in two weeks to see her and I'll be able to keep it on my iPhone.

On another bright note, today my face looks like a train wreck from yesterdays electrolysis. I had some stops to make after my appointment and didn't go right home and put ice on my face. I'm paying for it today. I've had a couple people comment on it.

And if that wasn't the only thing I've had to deal with today, my girls have been sore all week. I arrived at work before I realized that I was wearing a form fitting shirt today for the very last time. I got to work, stopped by the rest room and looked in the mirror and had an OMG moment. That was when I realized that my development was showing. And I've caught a couple people obviously staring at my chest. It has been a long day. Quitting time is taking on a whole new sense of urgency.

Knowing my famial genetics, I may be reaching male fail pretty soon. The woman in my family were blessed by chest development. I suspect I'm not going to need augmentation surgery after all. My daughter is so going to give it to me the next time we get together. Little Miss Eagle Eye will notice.

Sighhhh........ Kathryn having a happy Thursday NOT :banghead:

Ice does feel good on the face afterwards Kathryn. I go to band after electrolysis sometimes and i wonder if others see the redness, gawd this is a long process !

Male fail happens in many ways, hang in there, actually getting kinda tired of hiding the girls and went out for exercise in a form fitting top today it felt great, a few gawkers from cars and guys in trucks, oh well, just smile....

Hi Cindy

I grabbed a half dozen cold packs after work today that one of the labs was tossing out. They receive reagents and they are shipped cold. I'm going to take them with me on the electrolysis days so I can ice down my face. My face is a little better today. KJ

Yeah cold packs work nice too and less messy then ice cubes in a baggy.

Glad your skin is feeling better Kathryn, just in time for the next cook off ;-)

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
