Hello

[Guest Rucker]

Hey everyone

My name is Rucker, I just joined today. Im really excited to have found an site so open with seems like endless information, and friends to be made.

So a little about me. I am just starting my transition, I tried a couple years ago and everything wasnt right in my head or in my life. Now things look great, and I'm ready to role on with the journey. I am a 26 year old FtM pre-everything. I recently moved back to New Hampshire from Mass. I loved it up here, I have my family, and my amazing girlfriend. She is totaly supportive, and that makes my life easier.

Um.... what else....

About 4ish months ago I had WLS and am doing really well. I am melting away and I love it. I am much much happier, and healthier. I enjoy bike riding, hicking, swimming, camping, anything outside really. The ocean is the best place I can ever go if I need to think, or just to look out at nothing, the beach has and always will be a meditative place for me. Other than physical activities, I paint oils and acrylics on canvas, I've learned how to crochet, and writing (poetry and poetry slams), if I didnt have such a fear of the stage I would find/learn to play the guitar and put some music to my words.

So that pretty much sums up about me that I can think of at this point. Feel free to hit me up sometime, I would really enjoy making some new friends.

Have a good one

Rucker

Welcome, Rucker,

Glad to have you with us.

Let me welcome you properly,, come on in and sit down over here by the fire, with the weather like it is I assime that you haven't been on the beach today.

As you are FTM, I will offer you the guys welcoming refreshment cart- we have pizza, cheeseburgers, I got some hot dogs today and soft drinks of all kinds - if you want to sneak over to the MTF cart I always have cookies, cold milk and hot cocoa.

Now I'm 57 and as I mentioned heading the opposite direction still pretty much prs everything but determination!

I write poetry (now but it is a recent development - I always used to write essays) We have a poetry section and we also have blogs - I have posted quite a bit and they are also in my blog -you should share some of your works.

Well you can sit here and wait for the guys to come by (they will as soon as they smell the pizza) or you can wonder around the forums, you can take some food with you just don't drop your pizza!

This is a warm and friendly place, come on in and be a part of everything.

Love ya,

Sally

Welcome, Rucker. Glad to have you.

You sound a lot like me. Too bad we don't live closer. I do a lot of living outside. Primitive camping, horseback riding, hiking. I do a lot of riding since I own horses. I knit socks (to keep my feet warm during the cold winter nights). I also learned to kayak last summer. That's a blast.

If you have any questions, just ask. It's great to have you.
