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.

 

Hugs

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.

      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
