[Guest thisismylife]

[Guest Elizabeth K]

[Guest bronx]

just found out from my cardioligist that I should back to be 100% by some time next year, I'll be 39. i'm happy. Now i'm able to walk on the treadmile for up to 10min. Three months ago I couldn't walk 2 blocks. And A year ago i couldn't get out of bed. I'm just grateful to wake up every day, Life is wonderful!

[Guest Jackson]

Congrats, Bronx.

I now have something I can post here. This was the first really warm day we had at a high of 64 degrees. I burned my way home to break out the saddle and horse and got back from a nice 45 minute ride after the sun went down. And my mare (who is bred - foal expected in late June) even did stuff for me she's never done before.

It doesn't get any better than this.

[Guest ~Brenda~]

Dear Lizzy,

Congradulations!! To be sincerely referred to as a woman must have been so liberating and exciting! I am so happy for you!

Love

Neat Jackson - I never hear of any people with horses. That or I miss their posts.

It's late as always for Mr.Zabrak the nighthawk! I'm going to go make some soup. lol Yup, thats my good thing in life tonight - SOUP! YUM!

[Guest Jackson]

Yep, Zabrak, I have a few horses. Actually, I think I can honestly say that I can train horses. I have had people ask me for riding lessons although everything I've learned has been by riding and training horses for cavalry.

And I did it again today. Went riding for an hour. What's really great is that my horse is actually trusting me more now than before. I don't know if it has to do with just because I hadn't ridden her (and ridden other horses) or something about my change or just because she just trusts me more. We've been doing cavalry for six years now.

Another good day to be on the back of a horse. (Oh, and women love horses.)

[Guest Evan_J]

Ok Jackson, when you enlisted Squirt in your pursuit of the female form we "understood".

Now horses?

Stop while this is under control or Next thing you know you'll be cruisin late at night with a chicken sittin next to you in the pickup. (yep, you can hit me with the fish for that one if y'need to)

To quote Ryan Styles as Lewis on the Drew Carey Show, "Of course I'm scared of horses, they're great big animals with long faces and metal feet!"

I'm just allergic!

I had an appointment with a doctor for the first time this century and a little longer ago. I decided to tell him about myself and he is still happy to have me as a patient and will handle all of the lab work for me but isn't sure what to look for so he will send it to another doctor and I can get started on my hormones, pretty soon - I have my appointment with my therapist Tuesday and I should be able to get the ball rolling!

Love ya,

Sally

[Guest Zabrak]

You're a real cowboy jackson?!

Yay!!!!

That's great Sally.

Geez, Evan......

And I always thought a Corvette was a chick magnet......

I'll have to rearrange my priorities!

I will take all the help I can get in the pursuit of female companionship. Especially when a really good friend told me, "If you own two horses, you'll never lack for female companionship."

I want to be a cowboy when I grow up. I have no idea when I'll grow up though. As I sit here and watch the pouring rain and think of the horses outside getting wet. They don't mind.

Sally, I have the horse for you. Hypoallergenic. They have curly hair.

[Sally]

Sally, I have the horse for you. Hypoallergenic. They have curly hair.

Now I have something to be happy about!

Thank you Jackson, and with curly hair it must be a mare. (I have got to stop this rhyming thing!)

But more to the point, will there be biscuits for breakfast?

Love ya,

Smiling Sally

[Guest Jackson]

Biscuits for breakfast?

Nah, supper. Oh yeah, I need to run to the store, don't I now?

[Sally]

Biscuits for breakfast?

Of Course, biscuits for breakfast - Yankees use butter and jelly, but down here you cook up some sausage and you make gravy with the grease!

Uhmm, uhmmm, uhmm, biscuits and gravy another low cal, low fat way to start your day in the South!

[Guest OneOutOfnOne]

It's late as always for Mr.Zabrak the nighthawk! I'm going to go make some soup. lol Yup, thats my good thing in life tonight - SOUP! YUM!

I used to stay up to ridiculously late hours and make soup, the instant noodle kind. And sometimes I would fall asleep and the saucepan would scorch after the water had all boiled out. Thus was born Coffeepot Ramen, which would also make for a good band name.

My good thing in life: I went to visit my best friend, who lives about 400 miles away, for a week. During my stay, I had my first evening of dinner and conversation with him as Lydia. We've talked about my transgenderism quite a bit, but it was different to show rather than tell. And he told me, he had to remind himself that Lydia wasn't how I've always been, because it seemed so normal to him. Oh, that I may find others who agree with him!

That is a good thing that can count for just about everybody's for today!

[Guest Jackson]

I wish I could have had biscuits and gravy for breakfast, but sadly, I didn't have my Bisquick to make them.

So now I've run to the store. I've got my generic Bisquick. I'm all set for supper tonight or breakfast tomorrow morning.

Let me tell you how great it is to be out in the field (at an event) and have a couple friends make biscuits and gravy over the open fire. I've got the horses so I usually don't have time to help out with breakfast. Now that's the way to start the day.

[Guest mia 1]

You know something I've been thinking about Jackson...hear me out...you like biscuits and gravy..you're out in the field, you're out in the field with your horses and someone offers you biscuits and gravy.....Are you sure they're bisquick biscuits and not horse biscuits.......ha! oh well maybe not so funny.....Mia...

What time is Supper?

My card, Sir.

Have Fork, Will Travel.

Wire Sally

(Old "Have Gun, Will Travel" reference)

A fast fork for hire reads the card of a woman, A knight without breakfast in a savage land.

(That has to be OK, I changed the words enough!)

By the way, Ham gravy is very good too and country gravy, and chicken gravy and brown gravy - any gravy!

Love ya,

Sally

Good observation, Mia. Thankfully bisquick biscuits and horse biscuits differ in color and smell. Otherwise we'd be in big trouble.

[Guest RainBird]

I went fishing on the weekend with some good friends and one of them got a huge fish!

I caught 3 little fish and an old handline covered in oysters and seaweed lol

Was a great day out

xo

Friends' catch of the day...

[Guest Donna Jean]

OMG, Jacci!

What in heaven's name is THAT thing????

It's a wonder it didn't eat him!

You don't get many of those in a sardine can!

LOL...

Donna Jean

[Guest Zabrak]

WOW. That fish would make a great meal!

LOL Ok, we do have a cap on "cute" around here. And you definately just passed it. Wow. lol. If I can feel free to use this as your "verification" of femaleness based on "otherwise unthought of actions only a woman could come up with" you will be admitted to the species known as "female" lol.

ROFL No comment. LOL (but nudges Jackson to put down the fork lol)
