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,

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!

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
