Uggh! Why do they keep scheduling Mondays at the beginning of the week? Anyway, I’ve switched this time of day from coffee to Irish breakfast tea, which is really just the coffee of teas ?.

Just starting my 2nd cup of coffee. I wish we would get some snow here. Thanks to living downstate now (hate that) and global warming, I don't get to enjoy early snows anymore. We timberwolves love snow!

 

I'm listening to Halloween music? and a poltergeist just decided to help put me in the Halloween mood. Not in a friendly way, though. It just tipped over my cats litter box and threw a clean towel on the spilled contents?. Darn thing!? 

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

Hi, All just got back from appointments with both of my counselors. Went great. Unfortunately my LGBTQ specialist is leaving the first week of Nov. I hope to have at least  a couple more before she leaves. I do have another one with her on the 19. She has helped me immensely. I'm getting closer to coming out to the wife and family. More and More. 

Back to the coffee. great this cold snowy morning drive to the VA. cleared up for the drive home.

 

Timber, are you a former uper? or just from up north.?

Love this thread.  I'm an early riser.  My home espresso machine is always my second stop after I get out of bed, my first being to fix my hair (pardon my vanity showing.)   One cup and having my hair perfect and I am ready to face the day.  Love the fall, leaves just beginning to turn here, still have flowers blooming in their planters on the veranda.  Loved reading about your apple cider story Charlize.  Takes me back to my childhood being raised on a farm.  We had an apple orchard planted in 1900 with such sweet heirloom varieties you can't buy in the store .  We had an old apple press from the 1800s.  Invited friends over for Sunday afternoon cider making parties every fall.  Haven't made cider in years but the press is still in my folks' barn and the trees are still producing.  Hope to make a trip to visit the old homestead in a couple of weeks and stop to pick a few apples while I am there.

Good morning all!

I wasn't a Yuper, but I did live up north. For those not in the know, Yuper, pronounced yooper, is a local term, and is a resident of Michigans upper peninsula, usually a native resident. I'm impressed that you knew the term, Kymmie!

 

Thinking of this thread this morning reminded me of a very fond memory of my younger days while still living with my parents near Rockford, Michigan. There was a shop in Rockford at the time called "The Melting Pot". I always loved coffee, and always ground my own. But from the melting pot I did one better. The Melting Pot roasted their beans themselves. I would go in their and smell the coffee roasting. Oh what a delicious smell! I would buy a pound and bring it home. The bag of warm fresh roasted coffee beans made my car smell so good. Of course I brewed a pot as soon as I got home. I still yearn for that to this day. 

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

I grew up outside Detroit so yeah, I know the term, just forgot the proper spelling. My uncle is a Yooper he lives west of Houghton.

What a day!  I got up at a decent hour and had breakfast.  Soon after my son calls saying his car was acting up and he was at home from work.  I had him come over and I quickly diagnosed the issue.  Nothing critical.  I made a small adjustment and told him to go to work!   I'll order some parts and we'll take care of it later.  

 

Then an hour later my closest friend calls to say his truck died and could I come over to drag it home.  I changed back into "shop clothes" and loaded a tow chain into the truck.  I got him home and then we spent a couple hours diagnosing the issue.  (it's electrical, not fuel)  He was going to run out and get the part after I left.

 

Time to relax before making dinner.

Good morning all!

Autumn is back!? The temp is supposed to hover around 50 all day. The next 10 days temps are supposed to be in the 40's and 50's. No 60's in sight! We timberwolves like cool weather! Looking foreward to my mini vacation next week. I work all night tonight and tomorrow night, then 5 days off! First time off I've taken in a year and a half since I was in the hospital two springs ago.

 

Lots of love,

Well coffees hot and the temperatures are cold. Looks like just about 36. Boring day at work yesterday.  Hope not so much today. But at least I should get a lunch. 2 more guys are leaving work. Only getting one replacement for now. the new guy is from another store so no training should be necessary. 

 

Have a wonderful day all.

I had a great evening.  My wife and I went to a Rush tribute show.  The bands name is Lotus Land and they were perfect! ??  I'm up because in an hour I'm driving her to the airport to go on a short vacation where she'll meet up with her brother and SIL.

Good Saturday morning, friends!

 

I'm at work this morning, but it's only a half shift, so I will still have most of my Saturday free. I have some housework to do, but after that's done I think I'll go hiking. The weather has finally broken in Arkansas, and it's a beautiful cool, misty day. I know just the mountain path to spend my afternoon and evening on.

 

Coffee is not invited. Caffeine and I don't get along.

Good evening all!

 Actually it's my morning. Was at work all night, but am on a mini vacation now. I'm hoping to get out and visit some parks, get out and about, and get the "same old, same old" monotony relieved.

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

Morning's over, but it was an interesting one...

I do a lot of volunteering for the Sacramento LGBT Community Center and was asked to do an interview that will be used along with others to tell the story of how the mission of the center impacts people that are involved with it. I was mic'd up and recorded for a little over an hour including "B-roll" footage. 

I may very well end up on the cutting room floor, but it was fun to speak from the heart about how much volunteering has meant to me and how much it's given to me as well. All in all a good way to start the weekend!


Hugs,
Julie

Good morning everyone :) The coffee's cooling and I am ready for my first cup. It's time to do the shopping soon, but it is rather wet out. I shall make the most of it though. Have a lovely day!

Good morning one and all!

It's 3:20am here, and my crazy schedule continues. After working all night last night, and my evening breakfast, I took a long nap and now am having morning supper of pizza.

 

Lots of love,

My wife and I are in the process of listing our home to sell, so this morning will be filled with loading a truck to move furniture to storage and then finishing up some final projects before pictures are taken on Tuesday.

Lots to do, but it's exciting to be inching towards a new chapter. ?

Good news.  Take care with moving as you probably are not as strong as you've been on E.  I have certainly lost strength.  Have fun!

Very true, Jani. I took it as easy as I could, but am a little sore today. Of course, my wife is a similar size and was doing all the same things as me, so it's a fair partnership. ?

 

The good news is that everything fit in storage and the house is looking good. Fingers crossed for a buyers bidding war!

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow

      I have the problem, that I see myself at 3 maybe 4 on the list. I don't have the self love that I should have.   What does it mean to you?   Kymmie

      Seems the stuffy day-centre has swapped out Psychiatric Services and therapy to the local BSA hospital. BSA works closely with the local university and is much more gender accepting than the day-centre. The day-centre's psychiatrist wanted to treat me for gender dysphoria by correcting it. 🙄   I logged into MyChart app at the hospital and updated my preferred name (Birdie) and preferred gender marker for them to use.  I'll try and get a referral for gender therapy at the hospital as well.    Nevada is my place of birth and I found out changing the gender marker on my birth certificate there only requires a letter from a licensed therapist, but a name change still requires a court order.    Changing the gender marker to female would at least be one step in the right direction, then I could renew my ID to state female instead.

      Well today by attention wise was downright horrible. My legs can't stay still, can't focus on a project, my mind wanders around a lot, constantly fidgeting, easily distracted, couldn't even tell you what the sermon was about but there was vine on the altar and attention to detail sucks. I have read that it is possible to have BPD and ADHD. My mind even wanders during prayer. If I have both I won't be able to take Adderall because it makes my BPD symptoms worse. I keep having side effects that come up from my 3 traumatic brain injuries.

      If it wasn't so *EVIL*, I would have to laugh.  Everyone knows that trans women in particular have such an overwhelming superiority in poetry that the competition would be unfair if they were allowed to enter.  You can't make this stuff up!   Seriously, sorry for making light of it.  But it is only by highlighting the utter absurdity of this kind of crap, whether it occurs in Russia or Florida, that I am able to hang on to any shred of sanity.

      I used to fully agree with this statement, that is, until the first lockdown   Everyone I knew around me was affected by the pandemic. they couldn't work. they couldn't see their friends. they felt bored/ frustrated they couldn't get out of the house   and then there was me who welcomed it, because for once in my life, I didn't feel like a loser- and after lockdown, when everyone looked forward to going back to work or going out, well.. I had nothing- and I felt that no, I wasn't normal because I didn't have a life to get back to
