Yes, resilient, for sure. Ours were elementary/middle school age when their father died. The girl took it really hard, losing her father. My husband has been there as friend, counselor, and stepfather. He was a dear friend of their father, and he has put in a lot of effort to raise them. The eldest son is now his secretary, aide, and driver at work. Since I'm young-ish and not their primary parent(s), I have the role of being an older friend to them. They don't seem to have any issues with my gender. I'm just Jen, and everybody knows that Jen is a little different. -

If you're looking for a millennial female who might be interested, maybe contact Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Y'all might have some things in common, and I think she and her partner are doing the "childless" thing. Interesting that your wife did concrete work. My GF spent some time laying concrete for her own projects....while 6 months pregnant. She's a very stubborn girl. Probably the exact opposite of the millennial female you're looking for, since she's a mother of 5 (and wished she could have more.) Interesting how folks can have similar origins, but come to opposite conclusions. My GF grew up in dire poverty, stealing to eat and take care of her little sister. As a young adult, she spent several years living in a commune, and was a member of an armed communist political movement. Now she's probably the most fervent anti-leftist, anti-government person you could ever find. Experiences really shape who we are. The lesson I draw from this is that globalism is not the right solution, and even the USA is too large a nation for everybody to agree. Time to downsize voluntarily, before a civil war does it for us. Some folks suggest that the USA could become between 4 and 7 different nations. The way the world is going, I suspect you'll get your "depopulation" wish....but it will come about through war, plagues, and famine. -

I made apple pies, since we have apple trees here. A classic, simple recipe, everything made from scratch. We can make just about any kind of pie here - pecan, apple, pear, peach, blackberry.... I think the 6-burner stove came from an old diner. So, technically a restaurant stove, just a small one. It probably came from an auction, as my partner usually has an eye for deals. This stove has 8 burners: https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-48-in-4-32-cu-ft-2-26-cu-ft-Steam-cleaning-Double-Oven-Convection-Gas-Range-Stainless-steel/1003096398?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-1003096398-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYASABEgI9tvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds This one is the one I would love to have...it has 10: https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-Galiano-Gold-Professional-60-inch-Freestanding-Gas-Range/5013821825?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-5013821825-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYDSABEgIt__D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds -

Not to bump this up or anything, but I just want to put one more note on the end of this... Thank you for allowing me to post this here and thank you for all who have responded. This step has been a huge help to me on my political journey. I've made several key decisions in the last few days that allow me to run a better campaign for the next 4 years. I worked my way off of the streets 20 years ago by writing math and computer programming on paper. 10 years later I was able to buy a house with the software engineering work that I was doing. Now 20 years after getting off of the streets and having two failed bids for US Representative and likely another failed bid in the next couple weeks, I've come to the point of selling my house to run a very frugal campaign for vice-president (it's a thing even though it is an appointed position) for the next 4 years, all on the money I have earned from that work I did on the streets. My policy going forward is that I'm not going to ask for money and I'm not going to ask for people's votes. The vice-presidency is an appointed position. I'm also not going to run for legislative offices anymore. I'm simply going to tour the country on my own dime looking for good people and a strong millennial female who sees my logic and would like to be president. I have reached out to tens of thousands of people on my own dime in the last 7 years. Famous people, ultra-famous people, business leaders, civil engineers, random people, news people, educators, unions, politicians. I certainly got less than 5 emails from those efforts. Actually, I only really remember one person. He is an educator and we had a good Zoom meeting. I'm not bitter. I'm not complaining. Those of you who have followed me on this site know I like to keep things positive and talk about cooking and living healthy. I hope that this post doesn't get buried. I think the title is strong and my message is clear. I don't want to bog this site down with the details of the whole thing. I simply want people to know that there is a transwoman working to be vice-president. Notice that I didn't title this a-transwoman-as-us-respresentative. My politics are executive level. I'm a whistleblower, not a complainer. I aim to educate and inspire. -

You’re welcome, Vidanjali. Now I have to actually start writing! -

Society is preserved by passing on proper roles for people, which works for the 90+ percent that it works for. We were all taught from an early age that breaking out of the classification was a shameful thing, even when, actually, it is not. -

I'm probably showing my age. I haven't looked at a guest count in a long time. Doing FB and staying off forums for a while. Previous forum use had fewer bots if any and guests were actual people, mostly, unlike today. Any AIs or bots struggling with GD are welcome. I would love to read your introduction. -

I've seen this on a lot of forums tbh. That's how a lot of content ends up on internet archives. You've got loads of bots scanning the site at all times and archiving it. Forums are actually nice (in comparison to social media) in that the guest count gives you a pretty good idea of how actively the site's content is being archived. Basically just don't post anything you don't want archived. -

Kids are resiliant with therapy and strong support ;-) They were all elementary age when their dad died and are teens now, and how they've grown and developed as young people, already, takes my breath away. I'm working on communicating changes clearly and without shame, which is difficult basically all the time because of feeling guilty over doing gender "wrong" for so long. Working on that myself! <3 -

Allow me to add that people should think twice about posting pictures of themselves, with the facial recognition software that is out there. Those in stealth or who are not fully out may discover they are suddenly and unwillingly fully out in ways they wish had not happened. -

Funny how when i read the topic name i thought you were asking about the study of plants and animals. I'm a bit into that as a farmer at va time when a cell phone makes plant for insect identification easier than it has ever been. Now on to your topic. I don't farm in the nude. I have wondered at whether i would skinny dip as i did as a kid without thought of how my body might affect others. The effects of hormones makes me different from the average person and perhaps i'm "neither fish nor fowl". I would certainly depend on who my fellow passengers on that cruise would be. Hugs, Charlize -

This is also a relatively small forum and it can take a long time, seemingly, for someone to get around to replying to a post.
