Good morning All. Coffees on.

Good morning everyone,

 

My first two cups of coffee and a travel mug, were home brew Black Rifle Coffee. C♠️F :coffee:

 

I'm in the waiting room of Andy Mohr Ford having my F-250 worked on... Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Sensor is telling me I'm out of DEF, even though I added two jugs. The coffee here is just okay, however the Customer Waiting/Business Center it as good as any Hotel I've been in.

 

@KymmieLI'm glad you're seeking family counseling, and there's nothing wrong with being fashionable in your manor of dress. On another note, I'm the oldest of five siblings and no mater who started the ruckus, we all got the same punishment. My parents said that way they could be sure to get the perpetrator.

 

Hugs for all, (still masked)

I have a friend that got a paratenial bottom surgery.  Did not need electrolysis and self lubricates according to her.

 

I love color but as a man did not.

 

keep-up the counseling

My coffee tastes better than usual this morning.

 

The 80's Ugh. Father and step-mother were so unGodly strict and conservative. I was stuck wearing preppy K-Mart clothes ? when I was drawn to (in a non-sexual way) big hair and newspaper skirts. Of course, now it all makes sense.

 

We still haven't had our "big talk". She hasn't been feeling well, I guess it's on her schedule. But how can she be mad at me now? I got us scheduled for the covid vaccine where her and her mother were making zero headway getting in. I had to pull a few strings at work but they were all happy to help. I've been able to get so much done by just firmly stating my case and not getting angry about things.

 

We got the our roof replaced yesterday. I did realize how bad the old one was but then again it snowed right after we moved in. Freaking 30k for a roof but it does come with a 50 year, unconditional, never pro-rated, transferable warranty. It's a lot of money but I shouldn't be playing on roof-tops anymore and won't have to. It will never be my problem again.

 

I woke up to my stimulus check in my account so I already started filling out the paperwork for my name change. Unfortunately I will have to wait a week or two to file it. I have to go in person. Today would be good since I took the day off to get the vaccine but I don't trust the courthouse to move swiftly enough to get out in time. Arg! It's right there. Corrected name! Just...out...of...reach! Time for a deep breath.

I read this on someone's facebook feed this morning. <sputter...> {clean up coffee spill...}

 

"Get some roosters for eggs and raise some bulls for milk. Then you'll see that gender matters. Especially at milking time."
 

So should one of the manliest men be selected to impregnate all the women? Should we castrate the rest?

Then it's probably good that nobody wants to eat anything that comes out of my body.

 

Hugs!

Hi everyone 

 

I just wanted you to know that starting today, I am Out, Full Time!  I don’t no longer care who sees me.  This was done with the full support of my wife.

Well my wife and son are on their way to Lincoln , NE. They got home and with in a Half hour was gone. My wife did ask me to come. Being that we are mending fences.  but I said no. I didn't want to be stuck in a hotel room while my wife and youngest are seeing our grand kids.

 

I got the when are you talking to your son question. I didn't want to be a smart alack. I said soon. But I wanted to say. When ever he wants to be my son again. or I have made myself clear. Don't know what my son was told by my wife. Wither or not she tells them. I asked my wife if she would tell my grand son and Daughter the truth  of why I wasn't visiting them. That there parents didn't want me too. but probably either won't be told or not told like I asked it be. making me the bad guy.

My wife and I finally had our talk. It started this morning, finally and it was calm and rational. It went really good. Apparently the root cause of our conflict is that I didn't trust her enough to tell her what I was going through. She paralleled my inner struggle to her life-long fight with her weight. We now have a lot more understanding of each other so for now at least we're good and I really do have her support and she does understand that I am doing this for me.

 

We also got our first round of covid shots today. While we we were there the staff used she/her with me without any prompting and my wife didn't argue with them although she used he/him. On the way home she asked me if I had used the ladies or men's room while getting our shots. I replied honestly that I had. I think maybe she didn't understand why until I asked how she thought things would have gone for me if I used the men's room. This lead into me trying to explain all the different genders and what they mean. She had no idea that there are trans-guys too. I'm going to direct her to Jackie's YouTube videos so she can learn more.

 

A couple days ago I told my wife about a conversation I had with my mother. I had asked my mother if I was going to have any problems with her family when I go up there this summer. She said if I tone down my clothing I "should be" OK. Just jeans and a t-shirt like the other girls. I had to explain that I wasn't going to show up in a pair of booty shorts and bikini top. Today my wife decided to give me her opinion on it. She out-right told me that I am going to wear cute dress and high heels. So she wants me to be hyper-feminine for a couple days? Try to stop me. She also told me a few things she wants to tell my mother but was using "son" when refering to me, I had to stop her and suggested she uses daughter instead. OMG! she is all for it. She is really pushing to show my family how accepting and supportive she is. Kinda sucks it's not until the end of July.

Umm...wow, yea some people are weird simpletons. Yea, gender matters, that's why it matters that I'm not gendered my birth sex of male. Duh. I'll be sure to conveniently align my gender with my birth sex if I ever find myself living as some farmer's poultry/beef livestock.

 

This is why (speaking as a former programmer highly trained in connecting basic processes with their emergent results) I don't go anywhere near "social media". Both the whole business model, and the algorithms, are all fundamentally rooted around deliberately "maximizing user 'engagement'" by deliberately facilitating the emergence of armchair quarterback-led "information silos" and the moderm equivalant of kangaroo-court "voting".

@ElizabethStar can I have your wife talk to mine?

 

I think she'll be more supportive out in the world then she is at home, along that same line of being openly supportive and progressive.

 

So happy for you!

Congratulations @ElizabethStar! That sounds like it went really well! Next up: Clothes shopping with the spouse! Great fun and you can share a dressing room. I mean how ELSE are you going to get that cute dress.

 

Also a little jealous, I'm tall so finding a dress that hits me right can be a little challenging.

 

Hugs!

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      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.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
