I'm trying to get up and moving earlier.  The heat and humidity here is building and working outside gets harder.  It always seems a bit off that firewood needs to be cut, split and undercover soon.  After all it is hot.....winter?   The goats are all out on good pasture.  Do i really have to fill a barn with hay.  Air-conditioning calls me in.  Hard to say if it's age or E that seems to weaken me but as i think ahead this chick better get tough and to work.  Well at least a good breakfast and a couple of cups of coffee will help with todays first task.  i've got to unload a ton of grain from the dump truck.  Soon i will certainly be a "hottie".

 

Hugs,

Good morning everyone.

 

 I know not everyone celebrates Pride month.  I am remiss to say that I didn’t do anything either.  I would like to find a way to speak to people that don’t understand what we are and why, but I don’t know that I am ready yet.  But I hope if you did you helped get a message through and weren’t met with any problems.

 

Not quite one month on hrt so no noticeable changes yet.  I wasn’t expecting anything this soon so no big deal to me.  

 

Have  a  safe 4th of July or Canada Day if you celebrate either.

We went out to dinner with friends last night in York Maine and had a great time.  Got caught in a torrential rain on the way home.  Had to really really slow down.  Got home safety!

Yes, the Strategic Air Command was a major command of the US Air Force. SAC handled all the bombers. 2/3 of the United States nuclear triad. (Navy was the other 1/3) It was operational from 1948 till 1992. the became Air Combat Command.  I proudly served all my time in SAC.

 

The museum was fantastic. Like I said brought back a lot of memories.

I didn't know that there was a museum dedicated to SAC.  I'm going to have to plan a trip to see it.

What did you do?  Were you a pilot?

Hi everyone,

 

i did did something for the first time I can recall, watched fireworks in the rain.  We’ve had late afternoon, early evening storms just about everyday for at least the last two weeks.

 

our house/dog sitting is coming to an end.  We head home tomorrow.

Hi,  having a cup of mud this morning.

 

Got home home yesterday evening after a long day of driving.   We had a good time.   Our daughter doesn’t always get along with her mother.  Well, not only did they get along but our daughter actually initiated a hug with her mother.  That hasn’t happened in years.

 

well I’ve got a lot of chores to catch upon since we were gone for two weeks.

 

Hugs

 I just got back after being out very late with some friends, I had to stop at McDonald’s and get an iced black coffee just to get home safely, no need to risk life and limb driving while tired ! 

 I went out and did some scouting for a drive I want to take our little car club on, and I went to a place that I have been able to see all of my life and wanted to go to since I was three years old. Where I grew up on the California West Coast I lived near Mount Umunhum and could always see the radar station from where I live. I can remember being three years old seeing the radar dish turning up on top of the concrete building, my parents told me it was a giant bean mixer and that’s where I thought all the beans in the world came from?

 I spent an entire day up on top of the mountain checking out all the sites and enjoying my first visit to someplace I’ve never been but always wanted to see, oddly enough it mirrors my transition timeline and I find it interesting that I am finally starting to do some of the things that I’ve wanted to  since I was little !

Very nice pictures, pretty scenery and girl in jeans. I drove by that area (101) on my way home about 3 weeks ago. Yes agreed on doing things or going places you've always wanted to, I think we realize life is too short. 

 

Coffee tastes great this morning, even better because I have the day off, and everyone else is scrambling back to work soon...

What a tough looking building, made even more so when contrasted with a beautiful woman.   

We are having a rainy morning so i'll put off splitting wood this morning.

Instead maybe a third cup?

A lot of buildings at an airport are the orange and white. I love investigating old military sites and buildings, well old buildings in general. I just think they are so cool.

 

Good looking pictures Jackie. Also you as well. Your rocking it girlfriend,

Good morning, topped off my coffee, on a beautiful 71 degree blue sky morning. There is a cool breeze flowing through the drape. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Well I just figured out at least 2 boons of being a motorhead girl?  1: dirt and grease under your nails. 2: Breaking said nails. Worked on the car a little today. Getting things ready for the stereo upgrade. I wound up breaking 2 nails. and getting gunk under most of the others.  Had fun other than that. Decided to re paint my finger nails. it is a pinkish orange 'you are my sunshine' All last week had them done in Red,White and Blue for the holiday. Before that I only had my pinky nails done so we will see what happens at work.

 

Have a great evening all.

 

Hugs,

Hot oatmeal and coffee in this weather?  I guess i am nuts but habit rules my tummy.  It's lovely here in NJ with flowers and the abundance of summer.

Last night i had a chance to shower and go out in a lovely summer dress.  

I am feeling grateful for the chance to live as myself.  I owe a grate deal to this site.  The folks here have, over the years, helped me find comfort in being a trans woman.

 

Hugs,

Hot food/ beverages can actually help cool your body down. The reaction to the warming inside your body, triggers your body to cool the outside of your body. I will sometimes drink hot coffee or tea instead of an iced beverage when I remember this ??.

I do too! This site has helped me in sooooo many ways. Especially cause it has helped me speak out and to so many wonderful people. Being able to reach out and not feel alone is so important that it’s priceless. I will be eternally grateful for all this site has given to me.

I have to wholeheartedly agree also. This site has opened up a new world for me. It is helping me become the woman I need to be.

      This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict".   https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.

      Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event.  In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage.  But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received.  Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance.   I suppose this might be a problem in the future.
    • Ivy
      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.
