So it finally happened, at work, today i caught a co-worker staring at my chest. There were 3 of us in a conversation. I had my attention focused on the other person. When I looked back at the first guy. I noticed his eyes quickly shifted up to meet mine, when he noticed I was looking him in him beady little eyes he spun around in his chair, facing his computer. This was a first for me. Thankfully, I had my mask on so he couldn't see my face. All I could do was laugh to myself, then go outside and laugh some more. I sure I didn't react properly. I'm thinking I should just ignore it when these things happen unless it becomes an issue. Looking for thoughts.

@WillowI'm very happy people were seeing you for who you are, and I'm a little jealous you got a skort. I feel your pain with getting makeup right and the messing it up. It took a while but I think I look better when I don't go all-out. I'm still waiting for the day I can go shopping for clothes with my wife. God knows I them.

Now you know what women go through constantly.  It's a little unnerving at first, but also funny.  I'm sure that guy won't forget that moment for a long time.

Hey Star.  

Yeah its has happen to me in while. I mostly get guys to figure me out. They will check me out, and  i can hear their mind cylinder pop. 

"It pretty sure its a chick, but i don't . 

Open line"

I usually ignorant it cause i know what comes next. Either they buy me a drink and we start talking or their rude and say stuff that will get us both throw out. 

So ,as soon I as  I see or feelong i just move or look away.

My middle sons birthday is Tuesday. So, last night we went to Scottsbluff to take him and his family out for his birthday dinner. The weird thing, was as we were driving into Scottsbluff. we started seeing construction signs, no biggie I thought it is that season. We are kicked off hwy 71 to go through Gering. Two Sheriff vehicles where at the road shut down.

I look up the closed road I see a bunch of those Super class C motor homes (semi truck style) with huge trailers. First I thought a huge accident. The night goes on we have dinner and once we head towards home.

We head back south on hwy 71. Again we hit construction area then down a lane to 1. Sign say prepare to stop. OK. again no biggie. We pass the flaggers, still working at 9:30pm. We begin seeing spot lights. Then vehicle mounted cameras. SO I thought maybe a first responder  exercise. The main area is lit up like day light. Cars everywhere.  None damaged etc. We pass a huge group of people having a meeting or something.

 

We start passing race support rigs. Then drag cars. I finally figured it out they are filming  one of those outlaw street drag shows. pretty cool. Wish I could have watched some runs.

I have thought it was mostly staged with location anyway. now I know it. shutting down a state highway, use of local and probably state law enforcement. Highway dept. The only outlaw in that show is probably the rules. (except where safety is concerned)  but the experience was cool.

 

Have a great day everyone,

Hello my name is Mmindy and I'm a Chocoholic!

 

Good morning everyone,

 

The coffee was hot strong and black as usual. Because of yesterday's talk about coffee and chocolate cake, my fasting AM blood glucose numbers are up a bit... 110mgdL

 

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

 

Mindy???

I like chocolate too - I get my dose with peanut butter and chocolate pretein bars and convince myself they are healthy for me...?

Ha! I love chocolate but have not had any chocolate in weeks. Trying to steer clear of a lot of things during this recovery phase. So I’ve been enjoying berries. Look forward to coffee again soon!

I'm afraid I am too.  I keep it on the top shelf of the cupboard, but alas I am tall so it always gets found!

@Jani @KathyLauren @Kylie @Shay @ElizabethStar @Mmindy I think we just started a chapter of chocoholics right here on Tpulse!

 

@ElizabethStar I actually have three skorts they are comfortable, airy like a skirt but protective from the up skirt perverts like shorts.  They also hide undesirable lumps better than shorts or slacks but you still have to tuck or be post bottom surgery to get the look right.  I have some dresses but only one true Skirt.

 

i have a reasonable wardrobe  just Not enough opportunities to wear it.

 

Have a great day.

@Willow Ha! I see we did. I’ll say, I love homemade Godiva melted Hot Chocolate on the stove top. Something about the fresh melted chocolate!

I have molds that I can make little chocolate butterflies with. I am totally making some tonight. They are great for cakes, cupcakes and just snacking. Who's starting the chocolate fountain of youth thread? Then everyone can share their favorite desserts.

Lets do it. My wife suggested Blizzards for our evening snack since we don't have any ice cream. Of course mine will be something with chocolate in it. of course.

 

My Monday today. but work is work. same old. Got an interview for a position in Ashland, OR. Parts manager at the Ford Dealership. On Thursday. Still don't know what to do. Out of the family and a friend I came out to. that is 7 people. yet only 2 support me. not great odds.

@KymmieL My wife would agree with that. She’s a bigger chocoholic than I am.

 

As for what to do, I think you have your answer in that you are still posting for jobs in Oregon.  Clearly you want to relocate.  Now the question is what about the Family?  Would any follow you and how do you feel about it if they don’t? Do you want to accept your wife’s demands? Can you accept yourself?

 

this is not an easy thing to decide but only you or you and your family can help you decide.

 

Good luck. Let us know what you workout.

 

we are here for you regardless.

Good morning 

 

Coffee is especially good this rainy Sunday morning.  Even though it’s almost 9:30 the photocell lights are still on.  

 

Live Facebook church starts at 10.  It’s come as you are.  Today is tidy up the house day.  Hard to keep throw pillows in there place, the dog uses them to bury treats or to make or adjust a bed for herself.

 

So fellow chocoholics what’s on the menu today!  Fudge brownies?  Cake? Candy?  How about some old fashioned fudge? I think that sounds good today.  I like mine with walnuts.  Mmmm!

 

Guess I need to find some.

 

Hugs

Willow,  eather fudge brownies or just old fashion  fudge for this girl.  You can leave out the  nuts. I prefer it to just  melt in your mouth.  

Has anyone tried the new fudge brownie M&Ms they are to die for.

Ugg! I need some coffee in me in order to get the energy to make coffee lol. I had a couple drinks last night (only the second time this year that I have) and realized, I’m a light weight lol. I have my Black Rifle coffee brewing though, so I should make it. ??

      Some of them are us.  I view while logged out sometimes.  But I also know that so much of this forum is public.  I really wish more areas were "members only."  I'm aware that stuff I post here is publicly viewable, so I never post last names, first names of other people, pictures, or give my location.  I tend to think my husband and GF would be displeased at the few things I do post here.... and they may be right.   Our times are pretty uncertain, and it seems to be "fox hunting season" out there.

      On May 4, the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles did a whole 90 minutes of music that was all written by Trans composers and all of our singers and musicians were Trans / NB.  Several of the pieces were actually written by our chorus members.  (I was running a $3,500 set of video cameras on the show and am editing the the massive gigabytes they put out today. We had several guest artists either on stage or who contributed material.  One of the artists was Wrabel who wrote the song The Village which he has dedicated to the Trans Community and describes a young Trans child and the problems they had in their village.  The other MAJOR Trans Artist was Jennifer Leitham, a Bass Viol and Bass Guitar player who as a young man played with the Big Bands of the 60's and 70's in her male self into Transition, and wrote an autobiographical song entitled Manhood which tells of her love of the men she played with in the bands but her not really fitting as a man. Jennifer has played with the Chorus before and is always good music fun to have around.  Two of our members collaborated on a music and poetry piece simply entitled "I'll - - " which brought some tears with a promise to Trans Young People with the whole chorus shouting "I'll be there for you, I will be there for you" said for Trans Kids.  (We actually had a few Trans kids in the audience to hear it.)  My video editing program has about 40 minutes to go producing the main body of the edited video which has the actual song clips in the right order.  Next to put in the Title slides and the credits.  The stuff I get myself into.   The concert took place at the Renberg Theater which is part of the Los Angeles LGB Center in Hollywood.

      Hi, I'm Felix a little trans guy from a small town. My pronouns are he/they and I enjoy music and all wildlife, I doodle on all my homework assignments. I really don't know what to say but, my favourite animal is a cow, my favourite musical genre is country, I play electric bass & acoustic guitar as well as the ukulele a little bit of piano and drums (hand drums and drum sets). I like things of all sorts and I like food, a lot. My favourite meal is French fries and a good steak. My Personal Record for dead-lifting is 310 lbs and I like to sprint and play basketball. My mum's a "bit" overbearing but what can you do. I love reading Manga, I'm currently reading Assassination Classroom, I also enjoy reading Stephen King. I plan on joining the Marines after high school and become a k-9 handler.  I think that's all. For now :)

      I didn't use makeup even in my girl form.  And certainly not now in my boy form.  I don't even like sunscreen...it just feels greasy.  I've always disliked putting stuff on myself.  Partly because of the physical feeling, and partly because I don't want to pretend to anybody.    My partners are mostly the same...makeup isn't really a thing for our faith.  But my GF and husband have one particular vanity - covering up gray hair.  IDK if I will feel differently when I start getting some of my own, eventually.

      I'm ftm but I still wear makeup on occasion to cover up my rosacea. Just primer and sunscreen usually. Sometimes I'll fill in my eyebrows too

      I think some of "them" are just us. If I log out, I might come in and putter around the forums for a minute before I commit to logging in and reading or participating. That probably shows as a guest visit.

      I have the Pierre by New York Toy Collective, I think I bought it from a different online store but it is that brand. The size recommendations will say that the four-inch shaft (the small Pierre) is for people 5' tall and under. I am 5'8" and it is fine for me. The larger (regular) Pierre shaft size is way too big to wear regularly, but it is a great packer to have around for gender affirming play at home. So even if you are taller than 5', if you aren't sure and you want something easy to wear, go with the small. It is a silicone packer.

      Yes, resilient, for sure.  Ours were elementary/middle school age when their father died.  The girl took it really hard, losing her father.  My husband has been there as friend, counselor, and stepfather.  He was a dear friend of their father, and he has put in a lot of effort to raise them.  The eldest son is now his secretary, aide, and driver at work.   Since I'm young-ish and not their primary parent(s), I have the role of being an older friend to them.  They don't seem to have any issues with my gender.  I'm just Jen, and everybody knows that Jen is a little different.

      If you're looking for a millennial female who might be interested, maybe contact Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Y'all might have some things in common, and I think she and her partner are doing the "childless" thing.      Interesting that your wife did concrete work.  My GF spent some time laying concrete for her own projects....while 6 months pregnant.   She's a very stubborn girl.  Probably the exact opposite of the millennial female you're looking for, since she's a mother of 5 (and wished she could have more.)  Interesting how folks can have similar origins, but come to opposite conclusions.  My GF grew up in dire poverty, stealing to eat and take care of her little sister.  As a young adult, she spent several years living in a commune, and was a member of an armed communist political movement.  Now she's probably the most fervent anti-leftist, anti-government person you could ever find.  Experiences really shape who we are.    The lesson I draw from this is that globalism is not the right solution, and even the USA is too large a nation for everybody to agree.  Time to downsize voluntarily, before a civil war does it for us.  Some folks suggest that the USA could become between 4 and 7 different nations.  The way the world is going, I suspect you'll get your "depopulation" wish....but it will come about through war, plagues, and famine.

      I made apple pies, since we have apple trees here.  A classic, simple recipe, everything made from scratch.  We can make just about any kind of pie here - pecan, apple, pear, peach, blackberry....    I think the 6-burner stove came from an old diner.  So, technically a restaurant stove, just a small one.  It probably came from an auction, as my partner usually has an eye for deals.    This stove has 8 burners:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-48-in-4-32-cu-ft-2-26-cu-ft-Steam-cleaning-Double-Oven-Convection-Gas-Range-Stainless-steel/1003096398?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-1003096398-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYASABEgI9tvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   This one is the one I would love to have...it has 10:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-Galiano-Gold-Professional-60-inch-Freestanding-Gas-Range/5013821825?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-5013821825-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYDSABEgIt__D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

      Not to bump this up or anything, but I just want to put one more note on the end of this...   Thank you for allowing me to post this here and thank you for all who have responded.  This step has been a huge help to me on my political journey.  I've made several key decisions in the last few days that allow me to run a better campaign for the next 4 years.  I worked my way off of the streets 20 years ago by writing math and computer programming on paper.  10 years later I was able to buy a house with the software engineering work that I was doing.  Now 20 years after getting off of the streets and having two failed bids for US Representative and likely another failed bid in the next couple weeks, I've come to the point of selling my house to run a very frugal campaign for vice-president (it's a thing even though it is an appointed position) for the next 4 years, all on the money I have earned from that work I did on the streets.   My policy going forward is that I'm not going to ask for money and I'm not going to ask for people's votes.  The vice-presidency is an appointed position.  I'm also not going to run for legislative offices anymore.  I'm simply going to tour the country on my own dime looking for good people and a strong millennial female who sees my logic and would like to be president.   I have reached out to tens of thousands of people on my own dime in the last 7 years.  Famous people, ultra-famous people, business leaders, civil engineers, random people, news people, educators, unions, politicians.  I certainly got less than 5 emails from those efforts.  Actually, I only really remember one person.  He is an educator and we had a good Zoom meeting.   I'm not bitter.  I'm not complaining.  Those of you who have followed me on this site know I like to keep things positive and talk about cooking and living healthy.  I hope that this post doesn't get buried.  I think the title is strong and my message is clear.  I don't want to bog this site down with the details of the whole thing.  I simply want people to know that there is a transwoman working to be vice-president.  Notice that I didn't title this a-transwoman-as-us-respresentative.  My politics are executive level.  I'm a whistleblower, not a complainer.  I aim to educate and inspire.
