Sorry to hear about your sister @AdriannaB.   I hope she recovers well. 

 

Very cold (10 degrees) here.  Brrr. The wind was howling last night while I was trying to fall asleep.  Its calmed down a bit but the trees are still swaying.  

Had the anger coming out getting the call from mom and I am letting the police do their job.It gave her a wake up call she needed to get out.

Shaping up to be a good day. Last night was date night. Susan and I went to our favorite Chinese restaurant and then out to Ann Arbor to listen to the Out Loud Chorus. They're a LGBT+ choir and my therapist was playing the MC (and the saxophone, I had no idea she could play) for the evening. After the show, the three of us met in person for the first time. It was magic.

 

We also beat the snowstorm home, so that was nice too.

 

This morning, outside is white and the last time I checked, it was still falling. I made stuffed French toast for breakfast. I may have overdone on the peanut butter. It was still good.

 

Now we're waiting for the white stuff to stop falling so we can run our errands. Well, that and doing laundry. It's quiet and peaceful. Just the sounds of my keyboard clacking and the snow-blowers grinding away in the distance.

 

Hugs!

That’s wonderful.   Everyone knows about me by now but no one has “met” me as me yet.  It may take time.  I have so few articles of clothing.  Lol

So all you computer techies.  I am still having intermittent issues with no being able to connect to the server TP is on.  I lost access for about 18 hours.  Just now getting back in. 
This is on all devices I use.  On different WiFi accounts and providers across two states. I  
I do not play around with the settings at all and it works most times just fine.  I don’t feel it’s a settings issue.  
I am getting frustrated missing out on what’s going on in here for huge chunks of time.  
Any suggestions on what may be going on?

I've experienced it as well.

From the Boss:  "The culprit is the server itself. Once Piper has all her equipment fully moved to the data center, she's going to pick a new machine to put us on."

Having a great day today with my afternoon coffee️.  Located the cemetery where my late birth mother was buried.  I called and had them email me her obituary which was not online anywhere. So after a long 7 month extensive search, I’ve found her and a huge assortment of my birth family!  Been texting my female cousin all morning and may sometime soon meet my only brother by birth.  Until today, I did not know I had any living blood family extended or immediate.  It’s amazing how life can change on a dime.

 

Yesterday was almost as amazing.  By pure luck during the search, my wife located my old trans roommate from 33 years ago.  Since we paid for all these search subscriptions we decided to find people we’ve long since been disconnected from.  So my old roommate and I have just started emailing back and forth but it looks like someday we might reconnect...we’ll see.


Here’s to tomorrow!

Susan, that sounds wonderful and terrifying at the same time. My dad was adopted, he’d found his birth family many years ago and they have been a big part of our life since. He spent the years after trying to help other adoptees reunite. Many successful, some not so much. I hope your new found family are lovely and accepting people. *hugs*

@Susan R This is nice to read.  I hope you won't be disappointed with any of them as sometimes these reunions can go sideways.  All my best to you.

 

So cool to reconnect with someone from your past that you have a present day connection with.

My mom was adopted. Found out that my grandmother by birth(is that such a thing) Was the subject of a book and later a movie about her life. my grandmother went blind in her early teens and was probably raped.

 

She was from the upper crust in new England. Great grandfather owned an outdoor outfitters. So everything was kept quiet. A young lady of society having a child out of wedlock. Was unheard of especially in 1936. So she was sent off to "school" in IL. Where my Mom was born.

 

She has been researching our family on both sides. Found out I am royalty I am descendant of King Henry the 5th.  Now kneel to your princess knaves. LOL

Thanks Jani & @SaraAW ...it has been so nice.  I hope to learn more about my bio family in time now that I’ve unlocked Pandora’s box.

I wish you and Nikki the best of luck on your reunion. Hopefully, Nikki will get all the answers about her bio mom & family she’s been searching for all her life.

That should be interesting...you’ll have to share how it all went.  I will be doing the same in the next few weeks if all works out.

Wow, this is wonderful news Adrianna.  I found this to be the case in my neighbors.  I wasn’t expecting it either.

That was a bold question by your neighbor but they probably saw that you were comfortable presenting female.  When I first came out, I can remember talking to some neighbors that had not yet seen me presenting as Susan.  They never even mentioned I was dressed as a woman.  They had likely already heard the news from another neighbor (word travels fast here).  It was several weeks later when things became routine that they were brave enough to breach the topic with me.  After a week and all their questions were answered, it’s never even discussed.  They treat me as one of the girls now...it’s been great.

Good Morning, today's it's dark roast to lift the fog, expecting rain today, it's 45 out there right now. After picking up doughnuts at Alki Beach in West Seattle, my sweetie and I spent the day yesterday visiting our youngest over in Kitsap. Relaxing ferry rides across the sound, strolling the shops and waterfront of Polsbo, WA, a distinctly Norwegian town.....

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
