I'm reading "The Girl Who Played with Fire," the second of Stieg Larsson's books about Lisbeth Salander, she of the Dragon Tattoo. So far, I like it as much as the first book. I can already sense the danger she faces, and wonder how her friend Mikael Blomqvuist will fit into the plot. Good stuff.

I haven't read anything new in quiet some time. However, I am currently rereading Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. It's a teen novel written in verse that I read when I was still in high school. Afterwords, I'll reread either The Loch by Steve Alten or Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

If any of you happen to like shark stuff, I would seriously recommend Steve Alten's MEG series. It's like Jaws, but on high dose steroids.

My ex watched first film adaptation of The Girth With the Dragon Tattoo and he said he loved it and has been nagging me to watch it and I must admit, it looks quite phenomenal, so I believe I'll read the novel first, which I may end up doing instead of rereading The Loch or Ender's Game.

Reading Spell Bound, which is the Hex Hall book 3. I really love the main character. Her sarcasm is really funny. Books one and two of the series were great.

I liked the movie and have thought of reading the books but I've heard they're pretty complex. Lots of characters and plot is hard to follow. Is that your experience with them?

The movie I did enjoy, but it was a little hard to follow.

I am currently working my way through Jean Auel's "The Land of the Painted Caves" I have also read, and own, The others in the series. She is a wonderful writer, if just a tad long winded and overly thorough.

Currently working through the Kathy Reichs books.

I am on Monday Mourning now.

She is the forensic anthropologist that the Bones TV series is based on.

I'm reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, about halfway through it. It takes me a while to finish reading leisure books because I have a lot of school reading (texts, articles, research), but I can't get to sleep without reading something. I have a week off so hopefully I'll finish it soon. I normally don't read mystery/thrillers but this one has such great reviews. So far I am intrigued.

I have just started reading Subterranean by James Rollins. This is the 4th book by him I have enjoyed. Thriller, mystery, action, history. Dont want to put his books down. Other books I have enjoyed by him are Doomsday Key, The Judas strain, and The last Oracle, Awesome writer who has the ability to keep the reader on edge as to what is coming next and at the same time, paints a story, using words that draws you in.

Well, I just finished Auel's, so now I have started with Dante. I do enjoy a classic now and then.

I'm reading "Pricing Beauty: The Making of a Fashion Model" by Ashley Mears. She is a sociologist who, as part of her PhD thesis, worked as a professional model, conducted interviews with the insiders, and wrote about it from a sociologist's perspective. It's very interesting!! :-)

Oooh! Another Dante fan! Just remember, it is in archaic english, so it may take some getting used to.

Umm, I presume that it is Dante's Divine Comedy, If not then disregard this post.

Reading Automated Alice by Jeff Noon. It's Alice (in Wonderland) time traveling into the future. I'm enjoying it. It's not anywhere near as weird as Vurt.

For my night-time book I'm reading a collection of Philip K. penis's short stories.

Gwenhwyfar by Mercedes Lackey was a blind buy for me but is turning out to be quite an interesting take through King Arthur's tale.

Funny autocorrect. Philip K penis is famazing; have you read "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep"? Its super-downer, but a very deep take on human empathy and the nature of the soul. penis is my 3rd favorite scifi author behind Bradbury. 451 is mindblowingly good.

Currently rereading Wicked, and then slogging through Steven King's Under the Dome to prepare for the miniseries this summer.

Yep! I love PKD! Do Androids Dream is maybe my favorite of his. Either that or Ubik. I've read quite a few of stuff and hope to get through all of it some day.

I didn't like his Valis triology and Deus Irea he co-authored with Zelazny.

Sorru for Tad Williams but I stopped reading with the second book of this serious called Shadowmarch.

Then started a David Baldacci but thats tossed aside cause I'm now reading finding Kay a transgender odyssey.

Which she so graciously offered us for free download.

And I'm really enjoying reading it.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
