I'm feeling guilty reading about all the cold temps, rain and snow some of you are having.  I'm enjoying a coffee, the sun is finally up, and it's gonna be in the low to mid-70's in most areas here today.  But don't worry, we'll be "punished" for the beautiful day with temps all the way down in the mid to low 50's overnight.  LOL

Good afternoon!

 

I am very slow today. I think, due to the cold I have and pre Christmas depression, it was after nine before I even woke up. Just catching up, but I had to move when my stepson visiteda short while ago  to exchange presents (rapid wrapping ?).

 

Have a lovely day everyone.

But you're up and moving!  ?  If we were all to pack into planes, trains and automobiles and come visit you, what's your favorite place you'd take us to?

Didn't have any coffee today.  I now have an appointment but not with Planned Parenthood and not until March.  Oh well, I just have to wait a while longer.

 

Have a great day everyone.

A tricky one that, at first thought as there are many things here. There are the historical sites such as the big cathedral (it can be seen from a large area, many miles away,  due to its position), castle and Roman remains in Lincoln itself. There are many more little gems of historical interest out in the beautiful countryside, mostly known of by locals or experts. There are the military bases which are at the forefront of local and NATO defense.  There are many old bases now unused as well.

 

It would be nice to get out on bikes for a ride out into the countryside, to get the flavour of things. Many things are withing cycling distance, and the cross country ride is pleasant and quiet.

 

I think that the thing I have recently realised that I love most though is my garden. I was only pondering your question as I was glancing out of the kitchen window when making my mid-morning coffee, and saw a blackbird tucking into one of the apples still on the tree. The beauty of the natural world. When we moved in the garden was a bare patch of earth. Now it is a living entity with plants, animals and birds living together as they should. It may look a little rough, but it's beautiful!

You should post some pics of your garden. I would love to see it. I'm in California. GB is on another planet.

 

Nearly all my favorite Band are British. I love the progressive rock that y'all produce over there. Yes, Genesis, Muse to name just three. There are dozens going back to mid 60s!

Coffee came from McDonalds this morning then 500 miles driving.  Got to my daughters house safe and sound. No traffic to speak of until the last 5 miles.  We’ll be here for 10 days.  

 

Biking in the English countryside sounds great..  spent a week walking and riding trains in Scotland last summer

OK Coffee is not on, not yet.  But the turkey is in the oven for a slow roast for (much) later today.  Happy holidays all, however you celebrate.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all. Coffee and home made cinnamon rolls.  I made the family stuffing last night so it had time for the flavors to meld.  Turkey is in the oven. Presents have been opened. Everyone was happy.

      Just like anything else that is new it's always the thing that people fear of. People are typically afraid of change. Even something as simple as new procedure at work or the population growing. Typically just have the mindset of it's not broken then don't fix it type of attitude. The world is progressing and they need to accept that or they will eventually be left behind. A good example after WW II women working in the workforce things didn't go well at all due to a lot of butting heads. There are still even people now that think women are only meant for housework and raising babies.

      I've actually seen a lot of people who at least tolerate the LGB and not the T. There's also some of the gay/lesbian population that, unfortunately, alienate trans people away from other parts of the community.   To me, the biggest block is probably the lack of formal exposure. If people aren't taught about LGBT they will, just like any other topic, come to misunderstandings and more. Besides, how can most LGBT people figure out that they are such if they don't know it exists? I know that, personally, I didn't realize I was a guy rather than just someone who wanted to be a guy until I was introduced to trans as a concept

      You're welcome. I wanted to post something new that I haven't posted yet.

      That's a lot of weight congratulations. I was almost about to become a K9 handler in the Air Force back in 2006 but I found out that once you get promoted to E7 you lose your dog. You can get it at E4 as long as they need them but it is usually E5. If you don't understand military jargon, I'll help you out. I didn't want to join the Marines because I actually like to be treated better. I was Security Forces and performed security, law enforcement and everything you could think of such as convoying, fire fights, search pit just to name some. It also helped that I had family that was Air Force and I went through Air Force Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps so I knew the basics of Air Force already. That's awesome that you have goals in life. I hope you get it.

      Not sure what category I'd call this—don't care—I like American music. Any American. Thanks, @Ashley0616

      @FelixThePickleManTrust me I know the feeling. I didn't have the guts to come out that young. It wasn't well known back then. I knew I felt completely wrong. I knew for sure my parents weren't going to help me so I hid it all. It hurt a lot to live a lie. I always pretended to be the female that I was dating. I prayed and cried every night. It's not easy because bullying has always been around and the teachers didn't really care about that stuff back then.    You can make it through this. I would like to help you out just like I have with previous members. It's going to be up to you if you would like it. It's not going to happen overnight I can promise you that. For every negative thing or comment it typically needs double the number for positive things to feel better about yourself. You unfortunately are living with your parents which they are getting used to you coming out too. Sometimes coming out you're going to lose a lot of support. I lost over 40 family members but I'm happier than what I was. I still look at the mirror and still have my issues which is typical because we know our own faults and short comings. You have to value yourself. There isn't going to be an easy life. We all face many obstacles and it's harder for the ones that have something else to deal with.   We aren't in the same boat as some people are in yachts, cruise ships, and so on. There are perks and cons to each one. The best thing is to find something that you are great at and focus on that while trying to improve on the little things. Some have rituals everyday such as a new Bible verse that is related to what you are going through or a poem there are many poems for everything.

      G'day @Vivelacors   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I hope you find this place as informative and helpful as I do.   Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Tonight we will split a thick cut ribeye steak grilled outside, along with fresh asparagus shoots, apple sauce, and fresh cucumber salad. The steak has already been seasoned, wrapped in butcher paper resting to room temperature. The cucumber salad is blended and resting in the refrigerator.   Tomorrow's dinner will be Chicken drumsticks (skin on) that are already marinating in Zesty Italian dressing. Tomorrow I will smoke the drumsticks with apple-wood smoke, before crisping them up on the grill. We'll also have grilling beans, and garlic mashed potatoes.   The outside kitchen is now open.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Clutching of pearls because people that don’t “align with society” party to excess is part of the problem, not a symptom of one. Cis-het folks are out there airing their sexuality, reveling in their debauchery, and displaying general anti-social behaviors all the time but aren’t reacted to in the same manner.   The most important T in this conversation is Time. As long as there is not a fascist, violent, crackdown on LGBTQ+ people, our exposure to society (at least in Western society) will continue to move it towards our acceptance.

      I have three within a two block walk! You'd think I was in Seattle already! The one I have always gone to is the quintessential "local coffee shop" though; local artist's works on the wall, drinks named after customers and local geography, and it's run down just enough to feel homey. Also, I can bring my 20oz coffee mug in and get it filled for the price of a small! :D

      Eczema was my excuse. *high fives!*   It's lovely when you get a nice interaction like that. Yesterday I got a "you're so sweet" from a man who I held the door for, I don't think he saw all of me until after he'd walked past so he only picked up on my outfit and body appearance. I was so paranoid that I used too male of a voice in return, but c'est la vie. I felt really nice after it though.   I tend to try to put in a lot of effort. If I wear make up, it has to be perfect, etc. I put this pressure on myself because I, too, don't have a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks at "passing".  So, I try not to make myself an "easy target".
    • KathyLauren
      It's just the opposite here.  There are a ton of local boutique coffee roasters in this area.  There is no excuse for bad coffee here, which is why I am always surprised when I get mediocre truck-stop coffee in restaurants.
