impatiently waiting for 8:00. I have a dentist appointment. I have a tooth that is about an 8 on the pain scale. started Wednesday. Today was the earliest I could get in. Dr. doesn't want me taking anything for the pain so she can get an accurate pain rating(?)Yeah, it flipping hurts.

 

The other position I applied for in Spokane valley wanted me to come in for an in person interview at 1pm today. Even after I told them I was still in WY. OH well. Right now I feel that my best chance on getting out of here is with my own company.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

The baby shower at work went OK I guess. TBH it was a little boring. We sat around for 20 minutes waiting on food. After we ate the mother-to-be opened the gifts. There's a breast feeding kit called the THE TIT KIT, who knew? Seems rather bold for a product name and then there's lactation cookies (?). I don't know how much of this I need or really want to learn about. It's like studying for a test I'll never take. I was over dressed compared to the other ladies but several did tell me I looked really nice.

 

Change of topic.

At the end of last night I asked my wife what was up with her using my name when the nurse came looking for me since she promised to dead-name forever. She said she's testing-the-waters. So we're definitely making progress on that front.

 

I would guess the baby shower ranked right up there with a Tupper ware party. I've always thought all those kind of events were boring. The good part was that you were invited, and treated the same as any other woman.

 

I hesitate saying this because my therapist just told me about it. It looks like the grieving process is getting over with your wife and she's starting to accept you as you are more. YAY!

I hope your tooth feels better soon!

 

You could suggest that they do the interview by Zoom or Skype or something.  This is 2021: everyone uses technology for meetings.  They would still get to read your facial expressions and see how you present yourself, which is why they ask for in-person interviews.

Good morning all. Been so busy last couple of days. I did do some investigating this morning and just found out that HRT will not effect me as far as my FAA flight medical. As long as I have no issues on it the FAA has no issues with me so I can keep on flying on HRT. 1 obstacle gone. Moving forward.?

They said I have the full support of my company. I’m giggly and giddy needless to say. So when I go back to work everything will be different. I’m officially full time.

This is very good news Emily,

 

How is everything else going? I hope when you get back to work there's a lift crane on your service truck. I remember when I was a young mechanic, thinking it was a waste of space on the service truck. Later I would use it to set tires, and other things off or on the truck. "Work Smart Not Hard" all of a sudden had new meaning.

That's great Tasha,

 

I follow a few of trans-women on YouTube.  One is a Pilot, the other two are Flight Attendants, they seem to have full support of their employers.

 

Best wishes, and good luck with the FAA Physical.

@MmindyThank you. I have been flying for almost 43 years but just never looked into the regulations for this. I am a commercial pilot but wasn’t sure if I could. I was kind of scared to look until now.

Hi girls. I'm not sure what to talk about here, but the coffee sure smells great.

I guess here is where I join? Pilots license. I'm no pilot but I have a CDL class B with P indorsement for the last 8 years.

Physicals. Every year, everything counted against me to get my medical card...so I went back to my personal doctor and one doctor to another...I was fit to drive, every year for 8 years. I'm retired now and happy that is over with.

Good afternoon Linda,

 

The coffee was HOT, black, and strong,

 

I'm also on the CDL Class A, Hazmat, Tanker, Motorcycle endorsement truck, and because I'm type ll diabetic my DOT physical card is restricted to an annual physical. I'm cool with that, and will keep my certifications as long as I can, even into retirement. If I want to pick up a part time driving job I won't have to retake any tests. I'm a self employed, teaching fire departments, and chemical manufactures how to handle cargo tank crashes. I cover everything from product transfers, environmental issues, to public relations aka news media. I use to get paid for what I do, now I get paid for what I know.

 

Oh by the way, I love the flower print with or without the sweater.

 

Hugs,

 

Mindy???

Kymmie,

 

I couldn't help but laugh at the possible Funny Bone joke here. Why do they call it the funny bone when no one ever laughs after hitting it? Welcome to Smile's a comedy shop for your teeth, we'll crack you up.

 

No really, I hope you keep your teeth healthy and on a regular visit to your dentist.

 

Hugs,

Had a CDL B for years when I drove for the city.  Since we were local government we could skip the physicals.

Had to run a bunch of errands this morning.  Had a guy try to pick me up at the grocery store.  Although I was full fem as usual, I believe he was thinking of me as a gay guy.  It was kinda weird.  I'm like 70 years old.  I really don't know how to think about it.  I was friendly and all, but just wanted to go back home.

I'm so far behind on all the news. I was able to occasionally read it, but I haven't had time to post anything. It sounds like mostly good news for just about everybody. @KymmieLI'm sorry to hear about your tooth. Other than that, I'm happy to hear that things are going so well. ?

Hi Mindy things have actually been really good. I’m officially presenting full time and everything will be changed when I go back to work. My service truck is at home with me if I have tools on it I refuse to leave it somewhere. My truck has a crane on and it is used daily, I’ve been told I don’t play nice with others so my crane is my 2nd set of hands and I couldn’t live with it out. I also refuse to drive a small service truck, because what I work on a small truck is useless but then again I’m picky.How are things with you I hope there going good.

I'm, glad things are moving in the right direction for you. I understand not leaving your truck somewhere else. Co-workers think if you're off work, you surely wouldn't mind if I borrow this tool, and I'll put it back when you ask for it. We had a saying in our shop: "If you borrow something more than three times, you need to buy one."-ToolMonkey

@JandiYes physicals are a pain but at least now I know and they can’t stop me now. Now my employer could but I’ll have to cross that bridge whe I come to it.

@Tasha Marie I also have a pilot's license but nowhere near your rating since it's a private pilot SEL.  I let my physical run out years ago when I started on anti-depressants.  I just assumed the was no way they would let me fly again.  I flew ultralights for a few years and gave that up due to cost.  Just another one of those things you stop doing as you get older.  This year the motorcycle goes because I can't lift it up anymore.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.
