Hi Jani, it is a full basement. I built this house 21 years ago. The front part is above ground but the shop area and bathroom, 2 storage rooms are under ground. So here's a quick tour of the basement.

I'm jealous. Most of my house is over a nasty 100 yr old crawl space, and the only basement leaks water through walls and floor. I had to put a cinder block under the sump pump in the sump hole to stop it from running all the time. I've had the pump go bad a few times and had a foot of water in basement. When I moved in there was a water stain 2-1/2 foot up the wall. In the 35 years I've lived here I've had three 500 year floods. The last one came 5 feet from my foundation. I had1 sump pump that never shut off, and another one that cycled every 30 seconds. There's a river a half block from my house.

I love your tall ceilings and concrete floors!

Good Morning everybody.

 

Woke up today to finding a pool of water under the Keurig, so I think the coffee maker died or sprung a leak somewhere internally. So just ordered a new one for pickup for today. Had recurring dreams last night regarding how the name change got passed around our Infrastructure Team because they were preparing to do the change required to my account knew me. It didn’t go bad in the dream, so I don’t call it a nightmare, but it happened multiple times throughout the night. I think the stress of the name change is there for sure.

 

Hope everyone has a manageable day.

Good morning everyone! The Full Moon is setting, the Sun is rising, Birds are chirping. Worms, Vampires and Zombies are scared. The coffee was early, HOT, black and strong. I'm at the Ford Dealer having the truck serviced.

Good morning 

 

The birds are surprisingly quiet this morning.  Canine alarm went of at 7. To bad she didn’t know I wanted to sleep in. It looks like a beautiful day today, blue sky, sunny the only problem is we need rain.  We started the year way over normal and if we don’t get some now we will officially enter drought status.

 

im down to three thing to remove from the junk boat.  I was too tired to lift the HVAC out and I need the control cables. They are loose just not out.

No new news in my world so I decided to post an old picture of me.

Gosh I was young back then. Some 15-20 years ago. This is the back lower

part of my house.

I was up at 06:00, rushed my morning routine and at the dealership by 06:30 to be first in line for service today. They have a No Appointment required Policy for Company Trucks, first in first out. The weather is near perfect here in INDY today, the WIFI is strong, and reaches outside the building quite some distance. My hobby projects are coming along on schedule. I got the camper ready this past weekend. I'm waiting for the state BMV to certify my boat trailer build and issue me a VIN, so I can get it licensed. I'm working on a 55 gal. drum to make a wet motor stand of a 1959 Gale Buccaneer 5hp two stroke that I'm going to restore.

 

Life is good,

Well I did it I talked to my oldest. Not really the outcome I was hoping for but at least we talked. He is still POed about me not telling him right away. That I lied to him for over a year. Looks like the visit next month is off, at least the one going to Bowling Green. Will try and see if we can stop on the way home to see our grandkids.

 

Right now because of this, my emotions are in turmoil. On the verge of letting the waterworks start. just about cried myself to sleep last night. but luckily was out too quick.

 

I hope everyone has a good day. Not sure if I will. But I will need to put on my game face at work.

 

Hugs, to all.

That's nasty!  Our house is about 25 years old.  The original owners had chronic wet basement problems, but did nothing except to install a second sump pump.  The second owners spent $5000 digging up the basement floor and installing a pipe draining into the sump.  So the basement was dry, but the pump ran 20 seconds out of every 30 in wet weather.  We spent another $5000 digging up the back yard and fixing the external drainage tile.  It turned out the drainage pipe had no outlet, so no wonder the basement flooded!  We had our crew add another 30 feet of pipe to bring it out in a gully.  The pump hasn't run in over a year.

 

No coffee this morning, but I did have a nice dose of Pfizer vaccine.  Second dose will be in August.

Its amazing how contractors will take a shortcut that negates the intention of the work!    Great news on receiving your vaccine dose.

Why so long?

They are rationing vaccines here, since they have been in sort supply since day 1.  To ensure that more people can get one dose, they are waiting longer before giving second doses.

That's great. This old house needs way more work than I have money or energy for. I've already spent $30,000 on it in the last 3 years. Planning on another $20,000 this year. I don't want to, but I promised my wife that I would add a bathroom and hobby room above the flat roof of the original house. We have 7 people living here with 1 and 1/2 baths. We could really use it.

Good Morning.

 

Today starts my 3-day journey of coming out fully, today I meet with the team that will update my email alias name to reflect Amber. The actual change won’t be until Friday. Looking forward to the change, but also kind of nervous, but I will make it through.

 

Just had the first cup of coffee from my new coffee maker, why does the first cup taste so good?

 

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning all..Lots going on with me this past week. Got OK from my wife to shave off my nasty hair. I am now hair free from chin down. My wife says the mustache has to stay My legs and upper body look and feel so nice now.  Saw my new LBGRQ doctor on Wednesday, She is awseome!! She officially diagnosed me has having Gender Dysphoria. My wife went ballistic with this news. I spent most of the last 2 days crying and just laying in bed. We are talking but I am having doubts that she will ever acknowledge Stefi. Soon I will need to decide if I can put my marriage on the line to be true to my inner self. I will keep all updated as events unfold...

 

Stefi

Since posting this things have calmed down and my wife is being very nice to me..We are staying clear of talking about my Gender. I see my new LBGTQ therapist tomorrow. I am quite anxious...

Good morning Is anyone out there. I am feeling very alone as I have no one to talk to. Stefi wants out. I do not know how long I can keep myself  bottled up. Every time anything Gender comes up my wife gets angry. I know you all cant help except verbal support, but I am aching to vent.

      I have wondered how basic training is for transgender recruits?   Kymmie 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Some of them are us.  I view while logged out sometimes.  But I also know that so much of this forum is public.  I really wish more areas were "members only."  I'm aware that stuff I post here is publicly viewable, so I never post last names, first names of other people, pictures, or give my location.  I tend to think my husband and GF would be displeased at the few things I do post here.... and they may be right.   Our times are pretty uncertain, and it seems to be "fox hunting season" out there.

      On May 4, the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles did a whole 90 minutes of music that was all written by Trans composers and all of our singers and musicians were Trans / NB.  Several of the pieces were actually written by our chorus members.  (I was running a $3,500 set of video cameras on the show and am editing the the massive gigabytes they put out today. We had several guest artists either on stage or who contributed material.  One of the artists was Wrabel who wrote the song The Village which he has dedicated to the Trans Community and describes a young Trans child and the problems they had in their village.  The other MAJOR Trans Artist was Jennifer Leitham, a Bass Viol and Bass Guitar player who as a young man played with the Big Bands of the 60's and 70's in her male self into Transition, and wrote an autobiographical song entitled Manhood which tells of her love of the men she played with in the bands but her not really fitting as a man. Jennifer has played with the Chorus before and is always good music fun to have around.  Two of our members collaborated on a music and poetry piece simply entitled "I'll - - " which brought some tears with a promise to Trans Young People with the whole chorus shouting "I'll be there for you, I will be there for you" said for Trans Kids.  (We actually had a few Trans kids in the audience to hear it.)  My video editing program has about 40 minutes to go producing the main body of the edited video which has the actual song clips in the right order.  Next to put in the Title slides and the credits.  The stuff I get myself into.   The concert took place at the Renberg Theater which is part of the Los Angeles LGB Center in Hollywood.

      Hi, I'm Felix a little trans guy from a small town. My pronouns are he/they and I enjoy music and all wildlife, I doodle on all my homework assignments. I really don't know what to say but, my favourite animal is a cow, my favourite musical genre is country, I play electric bass & acoustic guitar as well as the ukulele a little bit of piano and drums (hand drums and drum sets). I like things of all sorts and I like food, a lot. My favourite meal is French fries and a good steak. My Personal Record for dead-lifting is 310 lbs and I like to sprint and play basketball. My mum's a "bit" overbearing but what can you do. I love reading Manga, I'm currently reading Assassination Classroom, I also enjoy reading Stephen King. I plan on joining the Marines after high school and become a k-9 handler.  I think that's all. For now :)

      I didn't use makeup even in my girl form.  And certainly not now in my boy form.  I don't even like sunscreen...it just feels greasy.  I've always disliked putting stuff on myself.  Partly because of the physical feeling, and partly because I don't want to pretend to anybody.    My partners are mostly the same...makeup isn't really a thing for our faith.  But my GF and husband have one particular vanity - covering up gray hair.  IDK if I will feel differently when I start getting some of my own, eventually.
    • Jet McCartney
      I'm ftm but I still wear makeup on occasion to cover up my rosacea. Just primer and sunscreen usually. Sometimes I'll fill in my eyebrows too

      I think some of "them" are just us. If I log out, I might come in and putter around the forums for a minute before I commit to logging in and reading or participating. That probably shows as a guest visit.

      I have the Pierre by New York Toy Collective, I think I bought it from a different online store but it is that brand. The size recommendations will say that the four-inch shaft (the small Pierre) is for people 5' tall and under. I am 5'8" and it is fine for me. The larger (regular) Pierre shaft size is way too big to wear regularly, but it is a great packer to have around for gender affirming play at home. So even if you are taller than 5', if you aren't sure and you want something easy to wear, go with the small. It is a silicone packer.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Yes, resilient, for sure.  Ours were elementary/middle school age when their father died.  The girl took it really hard, losing her father.  My husband has been there as friend, counselor, and stepfather.  He was a dear friend of their father, and he has put in a lot of effort to raise them.  The eldest son is now his secretary, aide, and driver at work.   Since I'm young-ish and not their primary parent(s), I have the role of being an older friend to them.  They don't seem to have any issues with my gender.  I'm just Jen, and everybody knows that Jen is a little different.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      If you're looking for a millennial female who might be interested, maybe contact Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Y'all might have some things in common, and I think she and her partner are doing the "childless" thing.      Interesting that your wife did concrete work.  My GF spent some time laying concrete for her own projects....while 6 months pregnant.   She's a very stubborn girl.  Probably the exact opposite of the millennial female you're looking for, since she's a mother of 5 (and wished she could have more.)  Interesting how folks can have similar origins, but come to opposite conclusions.  My GF grew up in dire poverty, stealing to eat and take care of her little sister.  As a young adult, she spent several years living in a commune, and was a member of an armed communist political movement.  Now she's probably the most fervent anti-leftist, anti-government person you could ever find.  Experiences really shape who we are.    The lesson I draw from this is that globalism is not the right solution, and even the USA is too large a nation for everybody to agree.  Time to downsize voluntarily, before a civil war does it for us.  Some folks suggest that the USA could become between 4 and 7 different nations.  The way the world is going, I suspect you'll get your "depopulation" wish....but it will come about through war, plagues, and famine.

      I made apple pies, since we have apple trees here.  A classic, simple recipe, everything made from scratch.  We can make just about any kind of pie here - pecan, apple, pear, peach, blackberry....    I think the 6-burner stove came from an old diner.  So, technically a restaurant stove, just a small one.  It probably came from an auction, as my partner usually has an eye for deals.    This stove has 8 burners:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-48-in-4-32-cu-ft-2-26-cu-ft-Steam-cleaning-Double-Oven-Convection-Gas-Range-Stainless-steel/1003096398?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-1003096398-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYASABEgI9tvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   This one is the one I would love to have...it has 10:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-Galiano-Gold-Professional-60-inch-Freestanding-Gas-Range/5013821825?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-5013821825-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYDSABEgIt__D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

      Not to bump this up or anything, but I just want to put one more note on the end of this...   Thank you for allowing me to post this here and thank you for all who have responded.  This step has been a huge help to me on my political journey.  I've made several key decisions in the last few days that allow me to run a better campaign for the next 4 years.  I worked my way off of the streets 20 years ago by writing math and computer programming on paper.  10 years later I was able to buy a house with the software engineering work that I was doing.  Now 20 years after getting off of the streets and having two failed bids for US Representative and likely another failed bid in the next couple weeks, I've come to the point of selling my house to run a very frugal campaign for vice-president (it's a thing even though it is an appointed position) for the next 4 years, all on the money I have earned from that work I did on the streets.   My policy going forward is that I'm not going to ask for money and I'm not going to ask for people's votes.  The vice-presidency is an appointed position.  I'm also not going to run for legislative offices anymore.  I'm simply going to tour the country on my own dime looking for good people and a strong millennial female who sees my logic and would like to be president.   I have reached out to tens of thousands of people on my own dime in the last 7 years.  Famous people, ultra-famous people, business leaders, civil engineers, random people, news people, educators, unions, politicians.  I certainly got less than 5 emails from those efforts.  Actually, I only really remember one person.  He is an educator and we had a good Zoom meeting.   I'm not bitter.  I'm not complaining.  Those of you who have followed me on this site know I like to keep things positive and talk about cooking and living healthy.  I hope that this post doesn't get buried.  I think the title is strong and my message is clear.  I don't want to bog this site down with the details of the whole thing.  I simply want people to know that there is a transwoman working to be vice-president.  Notice that I didn't title this a-transwoman-as-us-respresentative.  My politics are executive level.  I'm a whistleblower, not a complainer.  I aim to educate and inspire.
