Yeah sure @Jani.  
 

Did you know that when snow gets drunk it takes on the attributes of fallen pine needles?  So if you come to sober up your weather you’ll be expected to take 20 or so bushel of pine needle like things home.

Supposed to be in the mid 20's tonight.  My firewood source has not been very reliable these days.  So I got a propane heater that can be mounted on the wall - or freestanding.  Spent the last couple of days getting set up, and running a line under the house etc.  

I went over to the feedstore to get a tank filled.  The young guy who did it called me ma'am.  That made my day.  I wasn't even wearing a face mask at the time.

Made my day.

With the holiday coming up I got asked what I wanted. The only thing I really need is clothing. My wife responds that she doesn't, not wouldn't) want to go out with me if I'm wearing a skirt. I simply replied I will go it alone then. Hmmm, she was now OK with the idea of me in a dress or skirt, just not with her. This is how it started with tank top and bras which now she see's me in almost daily and is OK with it. Later she presented me the question about swimming. Since our new house has a pool and a lake nearby. I an not wearing a one-piece suit 

with shorts as previously suggested .  I pushed for a bikini top with a cropped T over and cute shorts. I don't know how or why, but she agreed. We'll see how all this goes.

I used to enjoy snow but that was when I didn’t mind staying up all night plowing and then go to work when it was done. Several years of that I’m officially over it. But I still can’t say no to plowing snow even though I don’t enjoy it.

 

I used to enjoy snow, but then I turned 16 and got a driver's license. :(

 

Plus, I hate being bundled up with too many clothes.

I grew up in northern Ohio, lots of snow there.

 

Another native northern Ohioan! High-five! :) And yes, we definitely get a lot of snow up here. According to an old friend now living around Columbus, even just that little 2-3 hour drive geographic distance spares them from most of the snow we get here around Cleveland. It's the "lake effect" here, that's what does it.

 

Coincidentally, we just had our first real snowfall of the season today, (right on time - juuuussttt after thanksgiving) and we really got dumped on. Just happened to have a busy errand schedule today, too, figures. But it did give me a snow-day off from work (?), so I guess I can't be too unhappy with it today:

You all should've seen the buck I spotted standing around the sidewalks as I was heading back from the gas station! (Gentrification isn't just a human problem...)

I agree! Especially because my cat has quickly decided that the most comfiest, coziest, happiest place to snooze while I'm asleep is...right between my legs. Cuddled up right there in the natural corner. *Sigh* She's a sweetheart, but she just doesn't understand human sensibilities...

:) That's great

 

Two days ago I was in line for the post office, dressed male head to toe, standing, without saying a word and with the mask on. Three different guys asked who was last in line and all of them read me and adressed me as female without any doubt whatsoever (you can't say a word in Catalan without gendering someone or something). Sigh...

Wow...it's all very pretty, but I think I'll stay in California for now.  75 and gorgeous today.  Put my headphones on and walked to the mall.  Almost bought some earrings at JC Penny, but the line to give them money was a deal breaker.  I also went to Macy's and confirmed that I have expensive taste in handbags.

 

@Gabriel...I feel for you.  I've been trying pretty hard to get read female, but even with the mask I've had limited success.  I am getting a few more stares though...maybe that's a step in the right direction.

Good morning.

I'm alive and things are as positive and moving ahead as they can be right now

Ann W, didn't JC Penney go bankrupt this year?  Maybe that line was people trying to get paid ;)

Good morning 

 

Ive already had my Doctor appointment for today.  Did so sitting here in my sunroom next to my wife with the dog nearby.  Drinking my coffee.  Now if that isn’t easygoing, I don’t know what is.

 

Coldest morning since last February.  Brrr.  But no snow.

I really admire your bravery. I can barely even imagine having the courage to even try in public if I felt there was any chance of being read "male". (Which, for me there certainly would be!) I guess that may be a bit of a roadblock... (Then again, my area does have a lot of less-accepting types.)

Oh, I love Fremont! It's been quite some time now, but back in college I used to pass through it all the time on my way to and from BGSU campus.

For myself, I just realized that if I let that stop me, I would be trapped at home forever.   

This is a pretty conservative area, and while I am mostly misgendered as male, I have never had any real trouble.  I am admittedly selective about where, and when I am in public.  But it gets easier and easier the more I do it.

Morning all. I am sorry for you @Gabriel presenting as male then being clocked. I know it is hard.

 

Had a weird dream me and the wife were having it out.  it was quite disturbing.

 

Sorry my emotions are running rampant I will be back in a few.

Good Morning @Maddee!  I hope the sun is shining for you today.

 

As to JCP, I think I read they found a buyer to stave off closing all the stores.  I'm sure there will be some closings.

Good morning everyone.  Its a very chilly start to the day here. Had a late night call that kept me up trying to help a friend deal with plumbing issues. Being the "go to guy" is one of my biggest dysphorias, so trying to think of ways to reduce that.  But don't want to tell people I won't be the one to help when needed.  ?

 

On the topic of the morning,  I have just started pushing my public femme side.  I've had mixed results. Most of those who are close to me did not recognize me.  Although I am not out to any of them yet. on the down side I have been told I look older.  And thats what I fear more than being clocked.   No woman wants years added.

@Willowand @Heather Nicole  too grew up in Northern Ohio moved from Toledo to Cleveland then out west to LA then back to Central Ohio - we hardly had snow last year Sunday and Monday we had more snow than all of last year. Actually felt good.

 

@Gabriel I am sorry what happened at PO. You certainly look male to me and I know I unfortunately still look too male to be even be considered being seen as the female gender I wish I was able to show others and have them believe me. Hang in there - you have made wonderful progress.

 

@Maddee - I'm glad to hear you are feeling more positive. Thumbs up girl.

@2beBreanna - I am proud of how brave you are and making progress. I am 68 and 5 months on HRT and still am not anywhere near being able to present female and be accepted. Age doesn't bother me so much as the time I lost being too afraid to move forward anyway.

Thanks,

 

A little better now. A couple of times my wife has told me in a hug.  I love you even though I don't understand. Yet, she admits she doesn't want to understand. Talk about a hypocrite.

 

I hate being trapped as I am. I just need to find a position.  I put myself in this position by getting my new truck. Maybe I was actually looking at the big picture having something dead reliable when I do.

 

Cold here today, Hi of only mid 20s got a little white crap on the ground.

Girl I hear ya loud and clear. I wish I would have realized long ago that I was actually female. May have save me a lot of grief. I guess hind sight is 20-20.

I feel ya, I'm hooked on Tory Burch and now Brahmin handbags.  

Getting stared at is a good sign. lol. Just try not to read into it. I try and keep the attitude of  "of course they are going to stare: i'm a 5'10" gorgeous redhead in heels, who wouldn't want to take a second look" haha.  Personally, from what I can see you've got it going on and people are bound to stare;)

It does take some bravery at first and you have to just not give a #$($ what people think. WHat the casual passerby thinks of you or me means nothing in our lives so.....

Once you get out there it just becomes normal after a few weeks.

Exactly. I am blessed with being in about as accepting of an area as possible so it was easier for me I think.

I have been afraid to move forward for way to long and its gotten to the point of I just need to take the steps forward.  I tried for 25 years to put this behind me due to fear. I am still scared to death with other steps.  We all make progress in different ways and different speeds. 

Reading everything on this site has helped me realize I can start even at an experienced age.

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Service manager at goes through that here.One was a belt change in a 2019 Kenworth.It was written on the work order including a service done and I seen it.Customer was a complete a-hole.I did it and said he did not want that done.Shown him the original work order and finally said the service manager was right.My boss had to get rid of two customers,always complained about their bill being a little high.Price of parts went up due to inflation and had to explain this to them

      Well it not morning and I haven’t been on her for a while but it’s nice to be back.  Did some catching up on everyone.  I do have a question, how is Toronto Canada for a get away? Is it a safe and friendly area for us to go.  The wife and I are looking for some where to go to allow me to be my true self.     thanks in advance

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
