Anyone want some snow? I got plenty.  I'm in a blizzard,right now. Local PD have called it no unnecessary travel in town. But being I am a critical business I have to go in. So I can draw the idiots out on the roads to get an air freshener for their car. I am so glad I have the truck. definitely using the 4wd today.

 

Found out yesterday that the wife is wanting to do the counseling. So we have an appointment on Tues. So my son goes for an eye exam, yesterday. He broke his glasses in our fight. But he is asking for $200 for one pair because I broke them. Yeah, when he attacked me. It is what it is. Still no cal from the store manager in Spokane. 

 

Now get this, Ladies and gents. My wife thinks I can join in the trip to visit my oldest. She thinks my son will let me. I'm still saying no. This is when it sounded like they were concerned that I will be alone for 3 days. It almost seemed that you can come but if your son doesn't want you in his house. you can sit in a hotel room. No thanks. It seems like it is back to my wife's non caring mood. Of course asking only gets the same thing, nothing is wrong.

 

Any who, let me know if anyone wants some snow. LOL

 

Hugs

Kymmie

Yeah, sure.  I moved south so I didn’t have to deal with snow.

OK, off that sad subject to a bizarre one: Happiness

I know, Happiness isn't bizarre but I found myself in a completely new place in my head yesterday

It was a New Moon.  
I felt unusually happy myself.

Pass here on the snow, thanks Kimmie. Everything's blooming & it might add another dynamic to spring break we don't need.

 

Your wife wanting to seek counselling sounds promising. I'm not you & don't know all the dynamics of your state of affairs as far as your trip to visit your son I do think all relationships require some compromise.

No. Absolutely not. It only snowed a handful of times this year and I'm completely tired of the stuff.

Ha ha. No. He needs to learn not to attack his parents. Attacking people in general really. You do not attack other people in polite society and you need to suffer consequences when you step out of line. Perhaps the $200 will make him think twice before he attacks you again.

Yeah, I'm with you on this one. If you don't get an invite from your son, stay home and have some Kymmie time. Maybe a bubble bath. Pamper yourself. Way better than being stuck in a hotel room or an awkward visit with somebody who doesn't really want you there.

 

I'm glad she's onboard with counseling but again, be careful of your counselor. You do not need to get double teamed by a hand-picked trans-conversion therapy nut job. Best of luck!

Three days of tranquility vs. three days of misery? No brainer there. Compromising seems to sound in your case, out of the picture. Thee three days alone to be yourself will help you analyze your situation and move from there. 

 

Always know that if ones partner is seeking counseling do to a relationship, they are basically stalling for time. Looking at their options.  Also the one on one counselor will always side with their client,  it brings them back for more visits, more money, and so forth. So three days in tranquility should sound really good about this time. Gives you time to reflect. Good luck.

Yep. My wife mentioned last night that she wants us to see a family therapist. Not just any therapist but one that will not side with me.....not side with me? Don't really know what she meant by that. She wants to have our big talk today but so far she's still sleeping.

Insert record skip sound here. While therapists aren't supposed to take sides, I think what she means is, "Someone that will take MY side and get you to stop." Be careful of therapists who want to see you apart as well. My spouse and I did that once and she told both of us WILDLY different things. Good therapists are amazing. Bad therapists are basically supervillains.

Anyone sure they don't want any snow. with 15" on the ground.I got plenty.

 

well I was the only one who made it to work today. Everyone else got stuck. So I ran the store myself. The boss called about 1:30 asking how long I was willing to stay. I said 2. Around 2 he calls back the upper management agreed with 2:00. they wanted me to stay till 5. Yeah, not gonna happen. My days of Ms. Nice girl is coming to a close. I've done it to meany times only to be stung.

 

Maybe someone will want extra hours since today was a non paid day off. and will take my Wednesday extra shift. 

 

Jackie, Sweetie don't worry. My days alone coming up is defiantly going to Kymmie 

days. I have an appointment with my GYN on Thurs and Speech therapist on Friday. And yes I am going dress for both.

Maybe when I am off Tues I will check wallys for some cute boots. I need some nice woman's winter boots.

Good morning 

 

Yesterday was a nice day.  We went to the beach.  Walked in the sand near the water, too cold for us.  Sat for a while until the sun disappeared and the sky became overcast. It’s windy today.

 

coffee is hot and black.  Not much going on here.  I do have some tile work to do in my bathroom.  
 

slight pause there while I eliminated an arachnid.  I don’t have much to say.

 

enjoy your coffee

Good morning everyone,

 

March here in central Indiana is a mixed bag of weather. Yesterday overcast but warm in the high 40s. Today is freezing rain, and tomorrow will be back in the low 50s. Three couples of Mourning Doves are building nests around the property, using the same general locations as the last two years. Suzie and I believe they are returning pairs who have found security in our trees, and one on our new arbor. The:coffee:coffee is HOT, black, and strong.

 

Hug for all,

 

Mindy???

Today I'm just going to complain. Yes, complain. I stopped electrolysis and laser a few years ago.

52 treatments electrolysis, 5 laser in all at a total over $5,000. Still I have to shave. Darn I really don't want to start again,

but now that I'm retired I'm looking to going back to the dreaded pow ouch of electrolysis. I'm also thinking of laser again, but now I would have to die my remaining facial with this special die for it to work. I don't have to worry about going

to work with a puffy face like I used to after electrolysis, or having my face died for laser anymore. So why am I complaining?

Well, I just felt like complaining about something I guess. I mean really, now I have to make appointments again, not to

mention finding a place, not sure if the ones I used to go to are still there. I know I'm going to try the die and laser this time around. Faster, less painful, and cheaper. So again, why complain I ask myself. Then I heard a voice, my inner self said stop the complaining and make the call for crying out loud already. \

Good day ladies,

LM.

Well, I guess you could divert about half of that snow my way. I have no appointments and my plow works. I remember those days of being super reliable for work. I was shop foreman for 17 years in a sheet metal shop 65 miles from my house. I was usually an hour early when other people living 10 miles away couldn't make it in. You just have to plan ahead, something the new generation can't seem to figure out.

I love having birds and squirrels in my yard. My neighbor saw a screech owl in my evergreen tree the other day. I hope it comes back to nest. We have the same weather here in central Illinois.

I understand. I couldn't find anywhere to get electrolysis within 100 miles so I spent $1,000 for a good unit. I plucked all my hairs so I would have new growth to work on. My first try was a bust. Spent almost 3 hours for no results. I think I swabbed too big of an area. I will try tweezer method next time. Now I have to tweeze all over again and wait. OUCH !!!

We get a lot of Cardinals and a few Goldfinches and hummingbirds here. We also get red and gray squirrels here. Once I saw a black squirrel in town like they get in the Quad cities. (Rock Island Illinois). I live close to a small river where We get all kinds of birds and other animals. It's nice to see them. I feel bad that we don't get many honey bees anymore. They were in my walls for years, then started attacking people in the house. We got a bee keeper to come and get them. We spent hours. Finally I cut my wall open. He got several queen bees and thousands of others. Also got about 15 gallons of honeycombs. Since then it's mostly bumblebees that we see.

Unfortunately laser isn't permanent.  It can knock it back for a year or more but eventually they do grow back (at least that's the official word). For the electrolysis ouch- you can get a prescription written by your primary care doctor for a numbing cream that is amazingly effective everywhere except the upper lip in my experience. I don't really even feel it on the face/chin/neck with this stuff.  Benzocaine 20%/ Tetracaine 6%/ Lidocaine 6%.  It would have to be made at a compounding pharmacy. 8oz jar lasts for about 50 hours of treatments

We aren't all ladies. Just sayin.' Maybe try "Good day friends?" I hate to pick, but we have men, women and everything in between here. Try to remember to be inclusive.

So sorry I chose those words, "Ladies", But remember, I know where I'm at, I know we are all inclusive, 

I also know that we all come different places ex. 

I also know that I'm M/F and many here are and I will refer to us M/F as ladies, and our F/M as gents.

I have also used ladies and gents at the same time in my posts here. 

I feel if I'm addressing an audience, I should pin point the audience I'm after at that moment.

Gosh girl, oops, friend, or what ever you wish to be called, remember, many off us like to be addressed as our

chosen Identity. Wither it be boy, girl or friend. I could cover a lot more, but I think you and all the member's

know who and what I am by now. I also am learning who the members are, so my dear gent's and ladies', until

later, try and have a good day or night, or is it afternoon?...anyway.... cheers!

No harm, no foul @Linda Marie

 

As to electrolysis, I'm at 5.5 years with 300 hours and $15k.  I have a few on my neck that we're working on as well as my eyebrows.  I wasn't aware that hair could be dyed for lasering.

I just completed my first 15 hours of electrolysis with two techs over two consecutive day.  Face is still swollen with spots and some parts are still numb from the local anesthetic.  The good part is almost all of my facial hair is gone.  The bad part, I said almost.  Back for another session in 10 weeks.  Cost so far $6k.

That's alright, I've just had members say they don't feel included when we use gender-specific terms like that in our discussions. I try to remind everyone to be more inclusive. TransPulse is for all trans people.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?

      One of our cats is polydactyl.  He has 7 toes on each front paw and 5 on each back paw, for 24 toes total.   Another one, an ex-feral who, at the time, was free to roam, climbed 50 feet up a tree without having any thought about how he was going to get down.  His pal climed down backwards, but he couldn't.  He ended up coming down by leaping from branch to branch.  Which nearly gave us heart attacks, because he only has one eye and therefore has no depth perception.   The other ex-feral (both are now indoor cats) obviously does not have those soft pads on his feet.  At night, when we are in bed, we can hear him stomping around the house.

      The two o'clock Onshoring meeting was going well.  Taylor was leading, inviting other people up to speak on their specialties. Aerial photogrammetry and surveying, including the exact boundary, were out for contract signature  Gibson had handled that - Manufacturing was supposed to, but somehow hadn't happened.  Legal issues from Legal. Accounting reported on current costs, including all upkeep, guard salaries, etc.  Manufacturing was supposed to give those numbers, but they hadn't.   The downside was the VP of Manufacturing.  He had arrived at the meeting red-faced, his tie askew, clutching a bottle. It smelled strongly of vodka. He had never done anything in his twenty years of being VP of Manufacturing, and he did not like being asked now.   "Mr. ----, do you have the inventory we asked for?" Taylor asked politely.  VP Gibson had asked him to have his people go through the plant and not only inventory but assess the operational status of every piece of equipment.  They needed to know what they had. "I'm not going to take any f---- orders from a g-d- tra---," he snarled. "God knows what kind of perverts it has dragged into our fair city and bangs every night." "That is completely out of line." That was Gibson.  Taylor controlled herself.  That was a shot at Bob, not just at Taylor.  She was glad Bob was not there to do something stupid.  Had Mrs. McCarthy been talking? What had she said?  Was she given to embellishment?  Taylor took a deep breath. "I'm not sorry.  You f--- can take this stupid onshoring --- and shove it up your -" "That is quite enough."  This was the head of HR. "You can take your sissy ways and sashay -" "You are fired." "You can't fire me." "Oh, yes I can," said the office manager.  The VP took another swig from his bottle. "Try it."  He looked uncertain. "I will have you removed.  Are you going to leave on your own?  I am calling the police to help you leave." And he dialed the number. He stomped out cursing. They heard him noisily go down the hall.  This was the front conference room.  He actually went through security and out the door, throwing his badge on the ground on his way.  The guard picked it up. They could see this through the glass wall. "Can you fire a VP?" "The Board told me that if anyone gives me problems they should be shown the door. Even a VP.  I can fire everyone here. I won't, of course. Those were problems." "Are you alright, Taylor?" She nodded.  "I've heard worse.  Shall we continue?" And they did.   The last item was that certain business people in China had been arrested, and the corporation that had been supporting them all these years had been dissolved.  They were on their own, and the Board was dead serious on straightening things out.  After this meeting, Taylor believed it.  She did not attend the meeting to discuss how to distribute the few duties the VP of Manufacturing had done.  That was ultimately up to the Board.

      Lunch was at Cabaret, still free.  The place was quiet: it was the sort of place you took a business client to impress them, and the few other people were in business suits.  Most of the legal profession was there.   She told him of the morning's frustrations, breaking her own rule about confidentiality.  She asked Karen how the branding was going, and Karen had snapped back that she had not started on it yet - they had all these proposals.  Taylor had explained that it was important, for the two o'clock meeting, and Karen told her to do it herself.  Karen pointed out that Taylor could not touch her - her uncle was on the Board and her brother was VP of Manufacturing.  Nor would the two computer guys go out to the plant - they were playing some kind of MMORPG and simply not available. If she wanted the pictures, she should go.  Mary prayed an Ave Maria, but both she and Brenda were racing to get the proposal out. The client wanted it Friday for review.   She didn't bring up what Mrs. McCarthy had told her.  She wasn't sure how to approach it.  She thought of telling her of a 'something more comfortable' she had bought in case he ever DID show up at her door. It was in the bottom drawer of her dresser, ready to go.  Instead she talked about moving to a place with a garage.  Several of the abandoned houses had one, and they had been maintained well with China cash.   Bob had finally realized that when he was introduced as Bob, Taylor's boyfriend, that was just how things were done here. Other people had introduced each other in terms of family relationships, which were strong.  Long before you found out anything else about someone, you knew how they were related.  Family kept people from leaving Millville.    "What is the real name of this town, anyway?"   She laughed.  "I am trying to find that out.  It's 'Welcome to Millvale' when you come into town from the north, and 'Welcome to Millville' on the south.  I have counted two other variants."   "What a town. Roosevelt is like that, with the families, but there is only one spelling."
