I started estrogen (oral) a little before age 50 and not the maximum dose either and also no blockers. It almost immediately accentuated the feminine features I already had, and expanded my already soft areas of skin, widened my hips and distributed more fat to my thighs and increased my breast size. There seem to be some subtle changes to my face too though I doubt I am any more passable than I was a decade ago, it’s just nice to not use breast forms anymore. I haven’t switched to injections as planned and there really hasn’t been much change after the first 6 months and my body fights back; my E levels dropped and T increased even on the same dose so it has not really done much for me. It sounds like injections are the far better way to go, plus progesterone after a while if the doctor will prescribe that. As is often said, everyone is unique and one’s mileage may vary, and what works for one person may not for another. -

This is so sad. The violence in general in Washington State seems to have ramped up a lot, and gender-based violence and hate crimes seem to be worse as well. My parents once lived in Renton but I don’t care for that city and never go there. I don’t think it really matters though as crimes like this can happen anywhere and often are perpetrated by a male who was in a prior relationship with the victim. -

I’ve never been in therapy specifically labeled as such, butI think IFS therapy evolved from treatment of dissociative identity disorder in which one’s various alters or parts are treated as an internal family, and each part is like a separate individual who can be spoken to individually or have dialogue with other parts. In a person with full DID, doing that supposedly helps to break down the dissociative barriers that cause that person to not be able to remember what they did for parts of a day or longer. This was the case with me. Anyone’s mind, though, can be thought of as being compartmentalized to some extent and we all can have an inner child and various aspects of our selves, yet the dissociation is never to a degree that it causes problems like with DID. But the same aspects of working with an internal family or different aspects of self, like the inner child, the rebellious teen, the persecutor parental type, etc, can help heal trauma nonetheless. I think many of us do have sides of us that we don’t like, or others don’t like, and it can be useful to examine how they came about and what purpose they serve as they are often a means of self-protection or coping with anxiety. -

We had soup and steamed rice for dinner tonight. Simple, basic, feed-a-ton-of-people kind of food. With strawberries for dessert! We have a huge strawberry patch, so I spent a couple of hours this afternoon picking. And there's some left over, which I put in the downstairs kitchenette. Time for a late night snack! Outside of meals, I mostly live by nibbling on fruit and a few green things. -

Well, it is officially summer. 85 degrees outside the last two days, and GF is sick and irritable. I have to curl up under heavy blankets in my nest, because she's got the AC turned down to the point I expect to see icicles growing on the ceiling. This is what life is like when your partner is an arctic creature. I should be used to it by now, but just when I think its nice and warm, she has to freeze me. -

I just can't resist. Does all that mean that.............the bird is the word? -

Well, that might be interesting. At least since she's 24, its not like you're on the hook for expenses. -

Been using the wok on the back deck a lot the last few months. Just got another stock of udon noodles from Amazon and we are using those in the stir fry with onions, peppers and a spicy peanut sauce. I did this often in the 90's too, but back then I was just using a standard Coleman camp stove instead of this high BTU wok burner. I've had the burner for a couple years, but haven't been using it regularly until recently. -

I’m a lefty. Learned to be a bit ambidextrous for certain tools that assume right handedness like scissors, but couldn’t write with my right hand to save my life. -

Tangent, adjacent, opposite... It's still rock n' roll to me. I don't know about the "in god we trust" part of the money, but I like the lady with the scale. And then I look left at the Indian statue on my mantel of Guanyin feeding a drop of liquid to the dragon at her feet. In god we trust? The lady with the scale? Maybe this is too binary. And then on the other side of Guanyin is that kind of pelican wood bird that sits two feet tall that I hauled back from South America through the Panama canal. The beak broke in 1998 and I carefully saved the pieces (as I usually do) and attached them back about a decade ago. I used a drill to make a small hole and then put a finish nail in there. Then a hole on those two pieces that needed to be attached. Upper and Lower beak. There is still a seam showing. I could cover that up, but the beak is a bright yellow and well, it's better with all the pieces in place and I don't mind seeing the crack. I guess that is the tangent and the other two are the opposite and adjacent. -money Why don't coders always code the "-" action in their search fields? It's not that difficult! -

@April Marie Yes, it's something to shop for at least for 6-8 weeks. -

Definitely points to learn and keep in mind. A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill. As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging. Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis. -
