Ahh the breeze

It's hot here in NJ today and humid to go with it. I have to smile as i'm remembering a conversation i had at a meeting last night. i was talking to a very butch cis man who knows i'm a trans woman but is also a friend. I mentioned how much i love driving the tractor in a skirt because of the breeze. He broke out laughing and said his grandma did the same.(Mmmm grandma me?) I just said he should ask the Scott wearing his kilt how nice that breeze can be.

I remember the first time i experienced that delightful breeze. I was getting a tire fixed and the counter where one paid had a vent in front of it. I was hot and that air conditioning almost made me faint with joy. It was all i could do to not express my elation to the rather tough guy who was helping me. Girls have to hide their feelings at times!

Hugs,

Charlize

Great idea for a topic, Charlize. I don't wear skirts much these days, but yes, I know the feeling and the pleasure it brings. Maybe some day I'll have a chance to experience that Marilyn Monroe "skirt over the sidewalk grate" from her movie. :) Thanks for sharing.

I know what you mean but, its hard to find those thin, loose all cotton summer dresses that mom and grandma wore. Brings back visions of them wearing straw hats and muck boots, tending the garden and feeding the animals and such. As a note. Kilts are way too heavy and hot. Also, if your tractor doesn't have a roof, you should put an umbrella on it in the summer..

Yes, I have felt the breeze on the hot humid summer days here in DC. It's Great for going to work in a light cotton skirt or dress. Do have to worry about my thighs rubbing together and getting a rash though (a cis girlfriend warned me about this-- a few days later after walking around the pride fesitval it happened :blink: ). But as long as I am not walking too much, I should be ok.

It is nice I dont go out yet but i do sometimes put a skirt or dress on late at night and step outside for a few min usually on moonless nights well after when my neighbors go to bed.

Charlize, minor correction. A Scot. Just one 'T'. Scott is a name... :-) and while a Scot is most certainly Scottish, Scott in Scotland though he may drink Scotch whiskey, is neither Scotch nor a Scot for he hails from Notre Dame...

:-D

Spent an 88 degree day here in the northeast with only panties, bra, and a very loose sundress , this 65 year old is spending more and more days in skirts and I just love it.

Try Carol Wright Gifts mail order, they have a ton of cool styles, all sizes and great prices. If I could "GoFundMe" for about $200 I would buy them all! Giggle

That comando style is what the Scotch Scott sipping scotch from Notre Dame knows all about. Ahh the breeze!!!!!

I'll check out Carol Wrights' for sure.

Here is my recent answer which I wore on holiday - A summer dress (which I just had to buy - I love it!), thick enough so that I could wear stockings underneath without any show. The sheer stockings just hide possible noticeable hair and the whiteness of my legs. They are much cooler than tights.

"Summer breeze makes me feel fine..." Your subject line makes me think of that song. I live in a dress. Sometimes a dress and leggings/footless tights depending on how cool it is. It's pretty rare when I'm in jeans except when they go with an outfit/the occasion. For me there are few things more comfortable and versatile besides skirt/top combos.

P.S. Marcie, try these or something similar to combat that summer thigh chafe. I have found these surprisingly comfortable. http://www.nononsense.com/no-seamless/no-seamless-slip-short.htm If you don't want another piece of clothing on, try this: https://www.bodyglide.com/shop/skin/

I've used this before when running and climbing. Works pretty good.

Marcie i have also found that just a touch of baby powder between the legs gives a wonderful glide of skin to skin.

Here in NJ it's getting even hotter. I've been putting up some new gates that will automatically close so that we will be able to let the service dog my wife is getting run throughout the yard around the house and barns without going up the road. I've been wearing a skirt just because when i'm on the tractor digging with the backhoe the breeze can cool this hot old gal down a bit. As a reward when i get inside i stand over a floor vent letting the air conditioning cool below while a fan hits the top half. Today i'll be running a conduit under the drive and doing some carpentry. Am i getting to old for this stuff? Fortunately my heart seems to work better hot than cold. Oh yes and the breeze was great again on the way to get the conduit yesterday. Air up the skirt while driving is a true pleasure.

Too much though and it would look like a walking mini snow fall... Giggle, sorry I couldn't resist! Pretzel logic humor.

That's a really nice picture of you Kiddo!

It's really heating up here. You'll find me in a long t-shirt, leggins, and flip-flopps. Even a dry 100F can be pretty difficult to endure. However, with humidity like FL or TX etc., I think I'd die. Seriously....

      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?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.
