Saw this majestic bird when out riding last weekend surveying the landscape....

 

Awesome!  It's amazing how much their range has expanded and it's always exciting to see them. 

 

Well, it's really nice here today and I have nothing to complain about.  Stay warm for those in the path of the cold front.  I'm heading out to take care of the animals and then back in to have another cup of cafe.

It’s cold out again. Not my favorite time of year. The wind has been horrible here too and I’m so over winter! I guess it’s not as bad as last year in some ways but I’m not really well equipped for cold weather.

Oh my! Nope. I've decided to stay in south Florida I think. My heat is running now, at like 55 or something. It's freezing for a Florida gal!

Good morning coffee tastes great now, have the head phones on listening to some cool grooves, and starting my day.

 

Bundle up you folks feeling the effects of the "polar vortex".

Good morning.

 

Coffee as warming today.  Weatherman said it was the coldest morning so far this year.  Still, nothing like what many of you are being hit with.  Stay warm!

Well on looking out here it's the whitest all over this winter, but not snow at the moment. Having had breakfast, I will look forward to a walk across the fields shortly.

 

Enjoy your day everyone!

Here comes the sun!☀

It's stopped! The snow has finally stopped.  After 4 1/2 days of snow storming, the sun has finally made an appearance. Still cold, below zero at night yet, but above zero today. It's been brutal, temps below zero and windy with wind chills more than -30°.? An unpleasant consequence of the cold is the sewage fog coming off the ponds at the treatment plant next door where I work. But at least it's been blowing away from me so far. I do prefer this to 90°'s and humid though. And if anyone wants snow, we've got plenty of it now!

 

Lots of love and a good morning hug,

Timber Wolf?

@Timber Wolf I think you should box it all up and send it back north.  They keep complaining they don't have enough cold and snow.  

 

Went to a "low impact" exercise class this morning.  Might be low impact but definitely not low activity.  Every class I try reminds me of more different muscles that I had forgotten I had.  Of course most of the attendees are ciswomen and they bend differently than I do.

 

Enjoy the sunshine while you can.  That pesky groundhog is about to wake up from his winter nap.

 

Hugs

Oh yeah!  I saw that when I did yoga.  Add that to my muscles that hadn't used in years, equals a big mess!  

 

Low impact is all relative!

My face was frozen this morning just walking to work! I had to thaw out before I could even think about doing anything useful but luckily I was so early it didn’t really matter. The day was busy and went by so fast I almost forgot to leave on time! I was about 10 minutes past my scheduled hours today. It’s been very cold at night and I’m waking up around 3am because of it. Then I go back to sleep until it’s almost 7am with just enough time to get ready for work. I really don’t like the winter weather around here. I’d rather have big fluffy flakes and thick pine trees with a wood burning stove.

Sorry about the cold walk but great about the day flying by that you forgot time.   I hope each day gets better for you.

Good morning, on my 2nd cup after answering a few other posts here. Life is good, the weekend to look forward to, a little rain has made it's way back to us after a stunning period of mid winter dry, cool, and sunny days.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning. Just crawling out of bed. Excited about getting my hair done. Balayage with color overlay is expensive. I kinda got sticker shock lol. My friends laughed and said "being beautifully ain't cheap," First stop is my mom's house for coffee. It's definitely a 3-4 cup morning

Warmer weather today and I’m trying to dry off before going out in the cold. No coffee yet but since I can get it at work and it helps me warm up I’m going to wait. I didn’t participate in the meeting yesterday because I had to fill in for someone who didn’t show up for work but I guess today I will find out what was discussed. One of the other managers who is farther along than I in training had a sort of difficult look on his face right before I left so I’m not sure what that means. I’m guessing that it means some changes are going to happen soon and not all of them are good.

Good morning everyone.  Happy Friday!  Heading to the coffee maker this a.m.  I hope all of you that are experiencing the arctic cold are doing ok.  Had some much needed rain here yesterday.  Also got a wonderful call yesterday.  I've been working on a specialty change within my profession/career and got a job offer yesterday.  I have to talk to the HR rep more today to go over the specifics etc. but I'm really excited.  It's a good feeling going into the weekend.

Josie i hope all the changes are good for you.

 Briana, it's great that your work situation is so good.  I have to admit that the VW bus in your icon create a longing as we begin to crawl out of the deep freeze here.

I'm going to get another cuppa and then head out for chores and to start prepping for tapping this weekend.  Our 10 day forcast shows a perfect sequence of freeze thaw cycles that should start the syrup season off with good flows.

Mmmm this cup is lovely!

 

Hugs,

Thank you!  I've been knocked around professionally a wee bit the last 5 years.  I found a new area of interest for me, did/am doing some additional education, and that's the way I'm going to go. 

 

Charlize, I saw that VW bus and palm tree and I went, "oh yeah...".  As a Mid-westerner living in So Cal I've no complaints about the weather...at all.

Hi, had Nespresso this morning, then off to the YMCA for a stretching class followed by a water aerobics class.  I definitely know I exercised.  Temperature reached 60 today and the weatherman is calling for 60s for the next few days.  From the posts, I presume everyone managed to survive the polar vortex.

Well it is still very cold in the great white north. -15C right now, not including the wind chill. There was not enough coffee, tea, hot cocoa, or any other warm liquids this week to keep me warm. It’s supposed to warm up to a balmy -5C tomorrow. 

 

Have a great night everyone!

Hi all! My first time on the coffee line lol.  I'm not  fan of coffee so pardon me while I sip my Dr Pepper (sip).  Tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 60s F.  We plan to go to a gaming store called Vintage Stock and browse maybe pick up a few things. Then we will have lunch at Hardees a fast food place with amazingly delicious double cheeseburgers called Sliders. Yum!  I am really looking forward to it.  I'm going to deck out in a dress shirt and tie.  I cut my hair last night and love how it looks. I plan to let my hair grow out some but not too much. I am hopeful HRT will make me look like my dad again.  When I was younger I looked like him then I had kids, put on weight and now look like my mom.  I love her but with my dad gone (RIP), I miss him and would love a reminder in the mirror.

      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!

      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?
    • KatieSC
      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.
    • KatieSC
      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.
