Thank you Kimmie,

 

I'm learning to deal with it, now I'm understanding why people retire at this age. There is no way I could meet a production timetable as a full time mechanic anymore. 

 

Hugs,

 

Mindy???

I’m only 33 and I’m already thinking of ways to stop being a mechanic. I just don’t want to be 60 still turning a wrench, especially on heavy equipment. I’ve already noticed that I don’t even attempt some of the things I did in my early 20s or maybe I might be a little smarter now haha.

 

I managed to get a few hours of sleep no I’m up getting ready to go and getting laundry taken care of. Before my surgery.The truck is clean and ready to go. Well I had to borrow a truck because I have mine torn apart and my friend who is going to drive me couldn’t use hers because her husband needed to pick the kids up later, because like me his truck is a regular cab. So I had to borrow one lol. Very rarely do I need a car because I’m always in a company truck. Maybe this is a sign to get motivated and put my truck back together.

All this talk of D&D and RPGs has gotten me all riled up.

 

It has been a very long time since I have played. Inmy youth in the early 80s there were a lot of time spent in my friends basement playing various campaigns. My favorite was always the G1-3 Giant series that led to the D1-D3 Drow series and yep into the Q series. And I would be remise if I did not mention The tomb of Horrors!

 

We also played a game called Gamma world that was a post apocalyptic scenario and Traveler that was a futuristic space setting.

 

I went ahead last night and down loaded the Dragon Age Origins.  My Daughter had played the whole series and recommended it. So far so good. It is not as good as a room full of gaming friends but since I have been short of friends this will do for now.

 

@ElizabethStar That is so nice getting invited to a baby shower! I would be so excited. That is just so affirming and accepting I would probably be in tears. Have fun and enjoy it.

Good luck Emily. Have a speedy recovery.

Hope you heal quickly Emily.  When i had mine i was certainly uncomfortable for a few days but the level of pain wasn't bad.  Maybe the hardest part of recovery was not being supposed to lift anything over 8 lbs.  A gallon of milk!  I was difficult to be a good kid as i moved around the farm but following the instructions to the best of my ability helped me heal.

Just a reminder........  The various threads we have here at Trans Pulse help organize and help others as they navigate their lives as non cis gendered folks.  If we discuss everything in this social thread it may well loose that ability to help folks in the future.  Chatting is lovely but please consider whether your post might be better placed in an individual forum rather than being added to a social thread.

 

Hugs,

Shay,

I tweet "OldFolkAdvice" and one of my most retweeted tweets is:

 

Children teach us about love, and Grandchildren are love multiplied.

Honestly, I am very excited but I have idea what to expect. Like so many other girly things I refused to learn and avoid them because it may have caused me to question my identity before I was ready. I know there are guy that goto events likes this and don't think twice about who they are. Maybe hyper-avoidance? And yet when my wife asked me to goto the store to get something from "that aisle" I was OK with. Of course I had no idea exactly what she needed so I face-timed her, now who's embarrassed?

 

It's a party! There will be gifts and games. The games will likely be home-making themed and stupid. It won't matter because you'll be playing them with friends. It's a celebration. Go celebrate!

 

Hugs!

Yup yup. I played Gamma World as my introduction to post-apocalyptic mutant fun. I've got several iterations of that too. You're missing a spot on the story progression for those old modules though. They started with the A series A1-A4 Against the Slavers, then G1-3 (though 1 was kind of short, they were bundled for the reprint), then D and Q.

You can not mention the Tomb of Horrors. That thing was a meatgrinder.

 

They've reprinted the Gs and Tomb of Horrors for 5e though. They're bundled in a hardback with some other classics. Goodman Games reprinted a lot of them too. I met Goodman at a convention, nice guy.

 

I played Star Frontiers instead of Traveler though. Later Star Trek. It's hard to find a good SF game, but I have a writing credit in Myriad Song. Under my dead name sadly. I got to make one of the alien species.

 

Dragon Age: Origins is pretty good, but I'm not a fan of the team-based fantasy game. You might try Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Highly underrated game and a ton of fun. Skyrim is more popular, but I think Amalur might be the better game.

 

Of course neither one is as much fun as getting together with a group of friends and a DM. I miss meeting in person, but tonight is my game night. Once more into the breach!

Yesterday was a rollercoaster. I officially came out to the rest of my household. It went well. I was pretty sure they already knew. I was right, but I needed to make sure. No one will be a problem, but no one wants to discuss it. That's alright. My wife got real upset with me telling them though. Says I'm pushing things too fast. We had words, then she told me I'm not "transgender". It was like being stabbed in my soul. I had to go to the garage for a while to be alone to get over it. It was all I could do to keep from harming myself. After a bunch of crying, I went back in and we talked, made up and cried together for about an hour. All good now.

 

I was accepted as a new patient by a transwoman therapist who is in network for my insurance. Have an appointment in about a week. I'm so excited. Have a lot I need help for.

Really? My wife and I swap jewelry all the time. The only pieces that are off-limits are ones I specifically gave her for one reason or another. Otherwise I have carte-blanche to raid her jewelry box and vice-versa.

It would be more awesome if we were the same color palate. ? She's more of a autumn, where I'm more of a winter. A lot of color combinations that work for her don't work on me and vice-versa. Tragic, but we do what we can. For example, yellow gold looks like garbage against my skin but looks fine on her. I'm more into silvers and blues.

 

What can you do?

I haven't been on much lately. It's hard to explain and I doubt anyone really wants to listen to me complaining. I am so happy to see so many of you moving forward and feeling better as your true selves. I imagine this is part of my avoidance. I am not having such great luck and really just want to give up on myself more than anything. I hope things get better some day.

You too! You are both wonderful people. You both have value. We're here if you need to vent, talk or tell us what the problem is.

 

We're also here if you want to lurk or just listen to my stupid jokes. The point being we're here for you.

      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

      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."
