OK, Jackie. Where did you get my class picture?

 

Don't know. but Like I said.I contacted the District Manager for the Store in Deer Park, WA. Because there wasn't a store manager listed. I did it on Saturday.

 

So today, I answer the phone. It is my DM. It seems like the DM from WA emailed my DM about me. I don't know if it is good news. but it maybe Because they way I figure the WA DM could just as easily replied to the email saying sorry I have someone for that position. Things could be looking up.

 

On to other news. Well I painted my nails, Sally Hansen purple before I went in. So as I was doing my check out. My wife comes in. Talks to me about a part for her car. I'm in my work shirt clearly with Kymbrill clearly on it. Not a word was said. not even when I got home.

Sounds like my wife. Just pretend it’s not happening.

Good morning and my black coffee was consumed during this mornings spin. I’m getting ready to hit the pharmacy before work to pick up my first round of magic pills. Let’s get this show on the road!

I'm not sure how that would work. Is this a metaphor or the real thing? Colour me intrigued.

Congratulations Erica.  Fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride.  It may seem slow at times while at others  brakes seem necessary.  In some time you will look back and see how far you've gone.

 

Hugs,

Good morning everyone 
 

It sounds like there is a fair amount of good news or potential good news here!

 

Well, I made the coffee, had my cup.  It was good.  I’m just waiting for my wife to wake up.  She’s been having trouble sleeping lately so when she is asleep I don’t want to awaken her.  Guess I’ll start some quiet chores.

I do not know what is a real thing.

If I "really" am a woman, then why not the rest?

Reprogram the matrix.

Magic is not easy to define.

Good morning everyone,

 

I've been on vacation trout fishing, and avoiding social media even TV. I hope everyone is moving along well and working out the issues that you face. I can't stress enough how refreshing it is to just put down the electronic devices and boat along the river, even if the fishing is slow.

 

Hugs, stay positive, and safe,

I wish I can get away from everything and just float down a river.  I prefer kayaks while on a river.  Hope you at least got one fresh meal out of the trip.

For those who have worked with their companies or communities to get more inclusive environments...  I was just in a first meeting with my company about starting up a LBGTQ+ resource group.  I work for a larger place that has thousands of employees.  Anyways.. I am thinking about taking up a Chair position.  What was the experience  others have had with something like this.  Being newer to accepting myself would it be wise to put myself out there and be a large part of the community?  What would you all do?

Breanna, I would go for it. If asked. I would too if my company asked for me to be on a LGBTQ committee. With the L and G communities getting more acceptance the T community is lacking.

Go for it. it is good for the people in your company and shows leadership which is good for you in your company.  While it will be a very visible position you aren't likely to get to much neagativity because it's sponsored by your company and no one will openly put themselves in a position to get fired for hate.  My guess it will be a bit of work so if you have the bandwidth then boom!

Don't think I would want that. I don't have much shoulders to lose. Now if I could just transfer tummy fat to hips, that would be great.

Sounds awesome. Go for it. Nothing better than someone who knows the challenges to be a chairwoman. Nice that your company is progressive thinking.

OMG @2beBreanna. That is an amazing chance to be on the ground floor of something that's going to help so many people in your company. I am so jealous of this chance for you.

Go for it!  Putting yourself out there is scary, I know, but it is one of the best ways to gain acceptance.

 

It's not quite the same situation, but, back when I had been out for less than a month, I realized that I had already committed to doing a public presentation for the local astronomy association.  After some nervous emails to the coordinator, I went ahead and did it.  I am so glad I did.  Everyone in the group now knows that I am trans, but they don't care, because they also know that I know my stuff.  Getting rid of the elephant in the room is liberating and empowering.

 

It sounds like your company is on board with the resource group.  By chairing it, you have the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and make sure that it is inclusive and pro-active.  You have got this!

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆
