I spent most of last night here in the forums and in PMs with my friends till around 2AM, gat a little sleep and came back here at around 7:30 AM, I've been off and on in the forums and on the PMs with friends while I edit images from a party on my other computer. And During my breaks I ordered a new dress and a couple of other nice things to make me happy and Yes, Donna Jean and Lizzy have gotten me to buy an ankle bracelet! :D

I did something neat with the program we are learning in class, so the teacher showed everyone it. ;) It wasn't just to boost my ego - it saved a lot of time doing it my way.

You're a Python fan, remember the art museum sketch?

But on to the important stuff, could you send me a PM with the link to that web site? :D

That would be a good thing!

Getting a PM from someone makes me happy, whether they need my help or just want to chat, it serves as a reminder that there are peopl who do want to talk to you and that can mean so much sometimes.

Love ya,

Bad thing, a horrible storm came raging through Texas and cut our rehearsal short - trying to get home before the hail. :(

No Tacos! :angry:

Drove through some of the hail! :o

Got home and the roof was still on my house! :D

So some good.

Love ya,

Sally

I'm sorry Jacci,

I didn't get any of that storm - I need my camera for work and I can't take it or me out into a hail storm at night (very little lightening in this one) in a storm that was mving at 50mph, winds over 70 mph - I got inside and stayed there. If it had been in the daytime or a lot more lightening - might have tried - but my only dry spot to shoot from is just inside my garage - when the wind is whipping the rain in there I can't see anything but the house across the street when I step back.

You will want to get some sort of water resistant housing before you come to Texas to storm chase - quite often they end up chasing you!

I will try the next time we get a thunderstorm, if it has winds under 40 mph - I've been losing weight and I don't want to blow away.

Love ya,

Sally

i like storms

i like watching lightning

and listening to rain

but i prefer being inside and warm

my new kitty cat blanket is a good thing not to mention it's warm

it's kinda counter intuitive

but listening to depressing music when i'm sad is a good thing

chocolate is good too

tacos are good too

people caring about me is a great thing in life, maybe the greatest

next to chocolate...

I would luv to see what you get over there :)

I'll tell you what I can do, you start saving your money to get yourself to Texas - that will take a while, I've flow to Australia before.

when you start getting close to enough money I'll find one of the storm chaser tour groups - we have trained storm chasers who take passengers with them to help pay their expenses and we can go togehter!

It's something that is almost in my backyard - well a huge backyard and still I haven't done it.

Maybe with the excuse of good International relations and helping out an Aussie Trans friend, I'll get up and go do it!

How's that sound, like a good thing that should be in this post or should it go under aweek with Sally! :o

No storms, all rainbows!

Love ya,

Sally

Hey that would be awesome! You'd do that with me? Cool! :)

I just found out it'll take over 41 hours and 3 stops-offs to get to TX from Darwin and around AU$3150 return for the flight, The price certainly wipes a smile away, I will have to save very hard indeed considering I'm unemployed on a DSP!! :o

It would be worth it though, I dream of one day being able to see a big nasty supercell or even a nader' (not too close though) :)

To be honest, with transition and saving for SRS towards the end of this year, I'll really need to get lucky and win lotto or sometheing :lol:

Hug :)

You find a way to get her and I'll make it happen - not the weather, it pretty much just does it's thing, but the panhandle storm excursion, you bet!

Or to sound more Texan, You Betcha!

That's a good thing!

Change of subject I guess - back to the original post topic - I had some interesting news.

My therapist says I will be able to pass easily in about two months!

I am in a bit of shock. :P

Lizzy

This thread is one of the longest I have seen - wow Zabrak you hit a good one!

      Good morning   i need to watch my tlime I open and can’t be late.  I think I figured our my breakfast issue,  a big bowl of honey nut cherioos  works better than two toaster waffles   yesterday’s coffee debacle got better mine was way too weak. Wife made a cup later, way too strong,  now if we just had baby here to get it right.   ok I admit I like Sheldon tv show.  I was planning on going to bed at 8:30 when it was over not realizing it was a double episode. Watched the second too.  I wasn’t expecting that ending.  Glad I didn’t miss it. Sorry there is only one left.     it seems like the writers strike killed a number of my preferred shows. Eithe this season or next fall will end several good shows   well gatta go.  Not even proof reading today.   hugs   willow

      My experience is very similar to yours, Sally.  When I first started to socially transition I thought 'blending in' was the best approach.  It did not work AT ... ALL.  I was misgendered so often. So now I try to feminize as much as my wardrobe (and time) allows.  For 'girls' my age I believe I am far more fashionable than other women.  So, lately I have been much more successful at 'passing'. But also like you, I am not really trying to fool people.  I expect they assume I am Trans and I just hope they respect my femininity and my humanity.

      congratulations easyE. :) I'm guessing with declared endgame will hover m maybe reconsider end game as they, we go along   congrats dear. I'm happy fir you

      Actually, they did back at the times of the AIDS pandemic in the 80's.  Some of my slightly older than I am Gay friends were beaten up and thrown out of gender correct restrooms back then. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm not sure the past is a sure guide to future needs.  LGB have no dog in the fight on public restrooms, for example.  That is T only, and only some T at that.

      When I appear on the radio and podcast it will be in discussion with a political scientist who will discuss those aspects. I’m focussed on the implications for kids and why the recommendations are flawed. But yes, I will probably briefly paint the political background.

      GFY, @Betty K. Don't forget to write about the motivations for the Cass Report, and who paid for its conclusions. "Cass Met With DeSantis Pick Over Trans Ban: Her Review Now Targets England Trans Care." — Erin Reed  And now its back to America, 'surprise, surprise.'

      Hi @Sol. Great to hear from you and your updates are all encouraging. Wonderful all the support you're now getting from your family and to hear you sounding so positive and hopeful. Career as an archivist sounds like a great path - sensible and not too specific, but endlessly fascinating at the same time. Not only do museums employ archivists, but so do many other institutions such as historical societies and universities. Your university may have its own archives which you could visit and learn about. Take care & be well!

      Hi @KathyLauren no worries!   I’ve only ever gotten a two-year degree in programming, and that one was just because I existed in the U.S. Air Force as a coder long enough to qualify for all of the technical credits, then I just took CLEP and DANTES tests to get the rest.   Most of my work has been in the security arena, lots of C/C++. Worked as a Red Hat hacker for a few years, and spent a few more years in gov’t spaces.

      Hi, Amanda.  Your story sounds quite familiar, though my pesky body part didn't need the attention of a urologist.  You are in good company here!
    • KathyLauren
      Oops.  Sorry, @AmandaJoy, I see you have already posted an introduction. 
    • KathyLauren
      Hi, @AmandaJoy.  Welcome to Trans Pulse.  Be sure to check out the various forums and join in any threads that interest you.  We'd love to read all about you in the Introductions forum.   -----   I started programming in Dartmouth Basic in high school back in the early 1970s.  I did my degree in Computer Science.  After a brief stint in the "government flying club" (RCAF), I worked as a programmer-analyst and systems analyst for about 25 years.    I am retired now, but I still enjoy programming.  I write a lot of the code for my astrophotography observatory.

      WOW HAS IT BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE UPDATED!!! Welp, I'm updating now, and it's been a lot of changes.  1. My mom is starting to come around a little (I think). She does refer to me more as her child now, and even offered to help me cut my hair so I think we're making a little progress. I'm still planning on going on T later and I'm gonna start saving up to buy trans tape (I can't wear binders because I have GERD), so hopefully the progress stays. My dad, sibling, friends, and my paternal grandparents have all been super supportive and I'm really lucky for that. My sibling also goes out of their way to introduce me as their brother and it makes me so happy :D 2. I've been socializing a lot more! Mostly on Discord, but I've made some new friends and I'm really happy about that!  3. I'm on birth control! I still need to go to the gyno but my GP got me on the depo shot and it's been working for me so far! My dysphoria has gone through a lot of ups and downs, especially around periods, but that source is pretty much gone now and I feel way better. I do have more dysphoria centered around my chest now but that's pretty easily fixed with baggy shirts most of the time.  4. I know 100% now that I'm hoping for a uterine ablation (cauterizing the uterine tissue so it doesn't grow) at some point in the future and it's likely something I'll have to save up for but from my research it's a lot less invasive and safer than a hysterectomy so I definitely recommend it if people are able to access it. I also know that after that, I want to save up for a reduction to combat the chest dysphoria, and I still like having it sometimes so I'll keep a bit of it (I'm shooting for an A cup, I'm a C cup currently).  5. I've been writing more and I've even got some ideas for art projects! I also got an Archive of Our Own account where I post my finished writing, and I'm starting a book project at my mom's urging (she said she wanted that as her Christmas present so I'm gonna try, might not get it done this year though). I haven't gotten to write much lately but I'm hoping to change that this month.  And finally, 6. I'm gonna be a college junior and I have a career path to pursue! I'm gonna be an archivist, hopefully working for a museum (not too specific on where, I just like museums).  So yeah, a lot of stuff has happened and it's been pretty good!

      Hi Thea!   Professional coder since ‘90, hobbyist since ‘83. C/C++, C#, Java, Ruby, Python, Ada, COBOL, Fortran, various flavors of BASIC. Love C, but it’s mostly been about Python recently.
