She just casually replied “no, we’re married”.

That's an uplifting experience, it is fun to watch the reactions of people when they put two and two together.

Banner day for me, got gendered half correctly once and then correctly later on. 

 

Was dealing with an unreadable screen at a parking lot pay gate: "You're good, sir! Or ma'am?"

 

And waiting at a counter, "Are you being helped, Miss?" 

 

I could get used to this!

Yay!  I got a thrill from my wife and I being addressed as "ladies" in restaurants the first few dozen times it happened.  Okay, okay, I still get a thrill from it.  Enjoy!

It's such a good feeling when this happens. I don't get misgendered much these days but still it makes my soul happy when I hear people using the correct pronouns and descriptors when talking about me.

Good news! Got a great lab test result on my diabetes just now. It had gone up quite a bit due to many factors: stress, diet, exercise . . . stress. And with a  new plan and new meds, it's back down to (not exactly normal) but it's a great improvement for only three months and means no long-term problems from it. Long-term good news—give me more of that! Sigh.

hugs,

Davie

That's great news!🙂

I'm happy for you. I'm still waiting for this.

When I got home last night my partner needed me to go with her to the dispensary. There’s some regulation that you have to have you ID on the counter when working with the associates. This was the first time we ever had them side by side. My partner noticed and commented about how we look pretty similar. The cashier overheard, stopped for a moment and also looked at the pictures. Without hesitation (probably because we have the same last name) he asked if we were sisters. She just casually replied “no, we’re married”. The poor guy looked so confused. 🤣🤣

Good morning everyone,

The second rush on the bird feeders has started. The fog here was so heavy this morning you could barely see the the most distant feeder, and you surely couldn't see across the street. It has lifted now.

The coffee is HOT, black, strong, and has a mixer in it. Eggnog and Tullamore Dew. NO POWER TOOLS TODAY.

 

I hope everyone has the best day they can today.

That's great @RhondaS

 

A funny story. On Thanksgiving Day, my husband and I took our two pups for a walk. We encountered a utility worker who was getting some equipment out of his truck. I said, "happy Thanksgiving." He said, "thank you, and happy Thanksgiving to you, ma'am." I stiffened and cringed reflexively, but replied, "thank you." Then, he pointed to our female husky (who, by the way, is very queenly in appearance) and commented, "he's a beautiful dog." It actually made me feel a lot better that he misgendered me AND our husky, lol. In my mind I decided he must have gender dyslexia, and it amused me.

Girls with hammers, have nothing on a girl with electric, and air operated power tools.

Bring on the hydraulic power.  Sitting on the backhoe slight finger movements push rocks aside and open trenches.  After a lifetime of building i enjoy what this old transgender woman can still do.

OK, while I didn't use any power tools. I pretty much got the remote start put in the wife's car. I still need to do the door locks and the hood pin.

 

Speaking of air power tools. I got myself a couple of Xmas presents already. I picked up a Warn 10K winch w/synthetic rope. I also picked up a ARB dual air compressor.  All I will need is  an air tank and I can finally use my neglected power tools. Ones I haven't used in 12 or so years.

Hi, 

 

it’s been a very stress filled day. We got to the airport only to discover something went wrong with our tickets.  So we still made it to Atlanta only to get stuck here.  We are finally leaving here at 11pm instead of our expected 3pm. 
 

we won’t get to our hotel until after 1am. At least we don’t have to be out until 11am. Next is boarding the ship at 2pm. Finally we can relax.  
 

Last time my wife and I went out, we got ladies and mame’d all over.  That is nice

Good morning 

 

haven't made any coffee yet.  I’m still half asleep.  Yesterday was a very stressful day.  If it could go wrong, it did.  I had wanted to drive from home to here.  But my son convinced me to use my flight benefits.  Even said we could purchase a deeply discounted ticket so we weren’t on standby.  So I agreed. Big mistake!  Something went wrong right from the start and the ticket purchase was never finalized. We get to the airport and I can’t check in. Finally got on a standby list.  Got to Atlanta where we had to change planes.  That’s where everything blew up.  We did eventually did get to Fort Lauderdale, at 2am.

 

But, today will be better, stress free.  Nothing will go wrong!  (Affirmations)

 

@KymmieL i think you hit the nail square, you (we) often don’t care to put ourselves first.  We need a social life and put that ahead of our own needs.  I know I do that too.  I’d rather keep switching male/female and keep an even keel on the home front than do what’s best for me.

 

see y’all in a week.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.
