A Place To Say Something

Today, outside a grocer, a 30-ish Hispanic man called me over, "Maam, could you please come here?" I walked over to him, and he showed me a bouquet of flowers, asking "Should I buy flowers or a potted plant for Mother's day?" I told him, "When in doubt, buy both!" but, he'd made his purchase already, and I said, "Put them in a vase, and arrange them for her, they'll be beautiful for weeks". Relieved, he thanked me profusely, and I could see him walking rather happily a block away as I drove out.

Life can have fun little moments in unexpected places...

Love, Megan

Sweet! Nice to be invited to consult from a feminine perspective! I'd do my best to get your attention, too! :D

You see, Megan, I am an absolute dope when it comes to flowers, design, decorating, etc. No can do. I would also be deeply grateful for assistance. :D

My support group is tonight, can't wait! Enjoy yours Joann.

I had my Aawwww... moment on Wednesday, My son came bouncing in from his activity center meeting after school. "Jody, I can't wait to give you your Mother's Day present, so here it is!" A handmade card and a very beautiful pair of dangling ear rings! I gave him the biggest hug. The joy welled up within me. "Mom, you're not going to cry again, are you?" I was giggling so hard it was easy to hold back the tears for him. I have to work Sunday, so this thought will still make it a Stellar day! Hug. JodyAnn

Aww...that is so sweet!

I am in full-on Procrastination Mode. I have to revise a paper, with a due date of the 21st...tick, tick, tick...this is me not working on it. I'm going to pretend my T shot on Monday is a shot of "git'er'done."

Ravin, :lol: .... :lol: .... :lol: . Ravin... :lol: .... this is a co-ed forum!

"I'm going to pretend my T shot on Monday is a shot of "git'er'done?" Huh? :dunno:

I'll bet you can't believe you just wrote that?

Let me give you a hint: Just say you can't believe you just wrote that. :blush:

Ladies, I apologize for any misunderstanding on the part of my pal. Ravin has been under a lot of stress lately.

Thanks for your kind consideration, ladies. :D

Brad dearest, "Git-R-Done" is a redneck term coined by Larry the Cable Guy, who is a good friend of my favorite comedian Jeff Foxworthy.

"If you have a motor hanging from a tree in your back yard.......You might be a redneck!"

Hi Mara! Thanks so much for the info. I know who Jeff Foxworthy is.

No motor hanging from a tree in my yard. Not today, anyway! :D

Ravin knows I am just ribbing in jest. :friends:

Fun to have you around, commenting, Mara! :D

Warmly, Brad

Brad, you should do yourself a favor and go YouTube Larry the Cable Guy. When you're done laughing, come back and let us know what you thought.

A lot of days, I feel like I'm in mixed company when I'm sitting in a room by myself. :b

Ravin, I hear you, loud and clear! :lol: I will look it up soon-- as soon as I have a chance to watch!

I have to get this party started-- Mother's Day! All things considered, Mr. Mom, is it okay to wish you a Happy Mother's Day?

If so, Happy Mother's Day! If not, please forgive me. I am recalling the story where your child had referred to you as Mr. Mom recently at a public restaurant. Glad to have you around, Ravin! :D

Your best bet would be to look up "Blue Collar Comedy Tour", That has Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall (Here's your sign), and....whoever the fourth guy was. They are HILARIOUS!!!!

Hi Mara, Thanks so much! I am sure I can find this somewhere! Easily.

Fun to have you around, too! I enjoy humor, very much so.

You know the old trans-joke? What's the difference between a transsexual and a crossdresser? The TS can't wait to get home and take off her bra, a crossdresser can't wait to get home and put on a bra... Yeah, that old groaner....

It's not the bra, or only the bra... Heels, nylons, skirt, jacket, top, camisole, then the bra, and once the stuff starts coming off, the rest goes too - necklace, bracelet and earrings. Nothing like a sundress at the end of a long day, it's the closest thing to nothing that I can think of! Now to clean up that pile of clothes that went flying everywhere!

Love, Megan

Hi Megan! :lol: I have very limited time to sign in here today/tonight. You and I are in different time zones. Retiring for the evening now, yet just had to sign in and give you a hug! :friends: I am sure you have put in a long day! Sounds like you are more than ready to relax for the evening. Enjoy! With Love, Brad

Absolutely. Like I told my sister, I have birth to them, I'll be their mom as long add they want me to be.

Answered the door when a missionary type knocked. I was dressed in a white men's tank and boxers. He called me "sir" at first...then ma'am, probably one my chest registered in his awareness.

Now, if people would just go with first impression and not analyze and change their minds without being corrected...

i never made it as a hippie but when i did get a visit in a few years back to visit a friend dying of aids i loved it. Beautiful terrain and as you noted Cyndi beautiful friendly people. Too bad i'm such a stuck in the mud Jersey girl but a stop there is in the works for our fall trip.

Hugs,

I got misgendered and it was GREAT. I had to go to my office yesterday so I was DRAB. I stopped at Costco on the way home and the guy who checks memberships said "thank you ma'am, I mean sir."

It made me smile and realize that some misgendering is not related to passing, it is just a brain not fully engaged.

I got an award in the SCA today. I feel kind of bummed because it was in my old name, because the kingdom Order of Precedence wasn't yet updated at the time the award was issued.

So it was cool to get the recognition, but not fun that it was the "old me" being recognized.

The cure? To get more active and be noticed now that my new name is updated with the Kingdom. Just made the award bittersweet.

Link to comment

Awww... yes that is bittersweet. I can offer you a consolation Starbucks soon. Giggle. I want to show you my old/new girl car. i can drive in style sort of. Txt me when you have time. I'm off on Friday and Saturday. i want to catch up on your progress too.

OK I could have PMed, but anyone passing through Arizona, the offer stands for you too. Giggle. Hug. JodyAnn

The problems of an ant may not matter to an elephant, but they DO matter to the ant. It is all a matter of your point of view. To the planet or the universe, your septic is trivial at most, but to YOU it is a BIG deal. Life S T I N K S , pun intended.

      Lets get this topic back on track folks.  Please spell out your acronyms for your specific meaning of the letter combinations and then re-read your own typing before hitting the send button.  We are here to be supporting each other and not stomping on someone's last nerve.  In the past we have used our DWF (Dirty Word Filter) to interpret certain acronyms and then the members were begging us to delete the posts for them one or two leaving with injured feelings.  Community Rules 7 (about posts being in clear English and Rule 8 (being suitable for people under 18) can come into play here. Thank you.

      I could be described, I suppose, as a RWNJ.   A little stereotyping seems to be going on.  Don't complain about Trans stereotypes if you turn around and stereotype others.  A lot of RWNJs are actually decent people and get called that by people who pick up on one or two alleged beliefs.  I would rather single out influential individuals of whatever camp and call them to correction.   Trans folk are a small minority, even as small minorities go.  There are probably a lot more RWNJs running around than there are trans folk.

      They cut a lot of trees here as well.  A lot of them toward the coast end up chipped up and sent to Europe to burn in power plants.  That bothers me, seems like a dumb idea.
    • Ivy
      Most likely.   Unfortunately this was expected.  I expect it will be the norm in any GOP controlled state that hasn't already done it.  So much effort expended against so few.  I certainly haven't seen my area being overrun by trans kids.   And yeah, I fully expect them to go after my HRT next. I think those that are railing against us are much more dangerous than some non-binary high school sophomore.

      Her name is Sunny and she is so much fun. But, as you said @KymmieL, it is a challenge with a new puppy. Thankfully our 13 year old Lab is taking the addition in stride and being supremely tolerant.

      It should be the league's business whether it allows trans women to play, not the park's.   (They seem to be inclusive - good on them)
    • Mirrabooka
      Sticking my neck out here, but that's what I see the RWNJ's doing all the time! They always need someone or something to "fight". Everything is a contest to them; there's always a battle to be had, an opponent to defeat, a dragon to slay, then another, and another.    *Sigh* if only they'd put their energy into working with people instead of against them.

      I think i became much more emotional overall.  Perhaps because use a topical E i haven't had the swings that some folks feel but i can laugh  and cry so much easier, sometimes over situations i would never have seen before.  Perhaps my age has something to do with it, but i am also much more peaceful and accepting of the storm life keeps presenting.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I think the interpretation of the question is always going to provide a wide array of answers. Do I have a rich inner life? Yes! Why? Good question!   Circumstances often dictate how we feel within ourselves. I don't have to deal with work anymore and we've been jus' cruzin ever since. I don't have to fix anything, literal or otherwise. My wife and I live a relatively simple life and we are true partners, but deep inside, I'm not answerable to anyone except myself. So, how's that going? Well, since I came out to myself, which happened before I stopped working, I have felt an inner glow that was never apparent before. It is permanent now and it sustains me. How? Effed if I know! All I know is that even if I have down days, and there certainly have been a few, my heart, mind and soul are still smiling. I think it comes from a realization that I am finally happy just to be me.

      I had to look this acronym up.  That certainly has never been part of the LGBTQ community!  Politicians simply attempt to use peoples disgust to create the hate or fear they can "fight" against to win support and power.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Congrats, @April Marie on your new fur kid. As the mom to a 1 yr old fur kid. I know what you are going through. LOL.   Back to work after a good weekend. I hope that work doesn't drag my good weekend down. However, I believe it is wishful thinking. I will do the best that I can, if that is not enough. They can jump in a fing lake.   I have another week until my therapist appointment. So I hope I can make it. it seems my depression is getting worse. Can it, is there something lower that major?  Especially when dealing with work. So, I know I have to get out of there. I have put in for the parts at the local GM. Probably, be like Ford. OH, well nothing ventured nothing gained.      Hope everyone has a good day. Hugs, Kymmie

      If what you mean by defemination  is that folks are doubting or refusing to believe your feminity i'm sure others here have felt that.  I know i have in the past.  It seems to be part of the continuous attempt by some to see us all quietly hiding in the closet.   I don't fit in there anymore.   Hugs,   Charlize
    • Mirrabooka
      Yay!!! 😀 What's her name?
    • Mirrabooka
      Yep, I can see that too, especially if satire goes wrong.  I can totally understand why the uneducated hoi polloi think that gender identity and sexual preference (and now, pedophilia) are one and the same, and it weaponizes their bigotry. I touched on this in another thread recently when I asked the question whether the LGBTQIA+ umbrella was actually too inclusive and should be split, in an attempt to stop this sort of nonsense. I don't know the answer; while I think it is important for non-cis and non-het folk to band together, it leaves us wide open to attack.
