This has been me since before the holidays. Been down in the dumps. A lot of it is seeing my wife being ill so much this season.I decided last night to just get off my arse and get to work. 

Had to go to Walmart yesterday, 12 degrees plus strong wind. Was wearing workout attire, ankle socks, exposed ankles because I didn't have any womens boots. I bought some while shopping. I love these for $20. A little tight. A half size smaller than normal.

Have a great day everyone.❤️

These are kind of cute. I really need to get a pair of proper fitting winter boots. A friend gave me a pair of UGGS a few months ago but she actually has bigger feet than me, 12w, I wear an 11. Otherwise I just have a pair of beat-up, oversized duck boots for working outside.

Jamie I know passing matters to some and others just don't care.

I worried about passing so much it took me over a year to actually walk out the door dressed and that was at night walking to the mailbox.

Went 24/7 and its been my normal for a long time for over 20 years.

Do I pass you might ask?  I get called ma'am 99% of the time so I guess most of the time I do. Worrying about it wouldn't change anything.

I don't worry about it. It would be nice to hear someone actually call me ma'am. It hasn't happened yet.

 

It's -4 degrees here this morning. woke up to the furnace off and 55 degrees in the house. Condensate drain isn't keeping up. Have to turn off furnace for 5 min. every hour & let it drain. Pipes in laundry room frozen. I must have unplugged it when I installed new washer & dryer. Not exactly how I wanted to start out my day. It'll get better. At least the coffee is fresh and hot.

Good Morning, 

 

Last night I had a very vivid dream in which I was pregnant. I haven’t had coffee yet since I’m not sure how it is safe for my unborn child 😉

To be fair, I would ABSOLUTELY wear scrotum egg earrings out to the club. Maybe THAT would keep the jerks off me.

 

Hugs!

Good morning 

 

Thanks for all the chuckles this morning.  
 

Jamie, I’m sorry life took a left turn when it comes to your heater.  My daughter has a lot of trouble with her condensate pump as well.  But the way hers was installed, it doesn’t shut down the furnace, it just overflows on the floor.  They need to put alarms on those things.

 

speaking of pumps, Jandi, do you have a hand dug well or a drilled well?  Just curious how you are bucketing water when the pump won’t reach.  Glad the water level has risen enough to use the pump again.

 

Speaking of vivid dreams, I have the strangest dreams these days.  I never used to and I wonder if it’s a result of my antidepressants or HRT.  Some are recurring.  Anybody else having strange dreams have a clue as to why?

 

Yes, it is very reassuring to hear someone referring to you with ma’am or ladies when I’m with my wife.  Happens most often in a customer service situation like check out or waitstaff.  It tends to surprise me how frequent it happens here in SC since it tends to be an anti Trans state, so I guess I’m doing something right.  I do still get sir even though I am dressed, carrying a purse, wearing makeup etc.  I’ve learned to ignore it.

 

I too have a difficult time finding shoes that fit.  No one seems to carry larger than 11 med. we do have a place nearby called Mega Shoe Show that carries up to size 13 in women’s.  I can often find something there and occasionally at Walmart.  Sometimes the other shoe stores that carry off season over stock have the big sizes but you have to keep checking.

 

Have a great day and if you are where it’s snowing again stay safe.

It's like that here too, especially when you get away from the bigger cities.

When I do get ma'am-ed it kinda makes my day.

 

The well is old hand-dug type.  Some aspects of my life are from times past.  

Weirdly, I have both an outhouse and internet.

With our temperatures dropping into the single digits last night, I made sure to leave the bathroom vanity doors open, because it's the only outside wall with plumbing in it. I hope your frozen pipes thaw without any leaks.

I was going to call the earrings ear testicles but the other name popped in my head.

I do have the perfect top to match them. so they really are keepers.

I had trouble logging in today.

I have that same kind of interference. Our orange tabby want's to cuddle in between my arms and the keyboard.

I'm definitely going to look for a set of "Acorn" earrings to match my western wear.

I was asked once why I wear women's clothing.

I replied....duh, ever try to find men's clothing in the women's section?

Erica, is a boy or a girl?

 

Sorry I haven't been on in a couple of days. I have been way under the weather. Don't think it is covid again. Just the flu. Started last Sunday. called in to work on Mom, felt better Tues and Wed so went to work. Wed night had an upset stomach.  Yesterday, runs, deep hacking cough, headache. Slept most of the day. probably do the same today.

My outdoor thermometer is reading 81!  However, it’s in the sun.  More like low 50s. When I finish my new instrument panel the thermometer will be part of it.  Then it will be in the shade all the time.   I have some new canvas tarps coming from Harbor Freight but they are somewhere in transit. FedEx Ground.  I hope they aren’t in a ditch some where.  Maybe they are stuck on I 95 in Virginia.  Boy do I hate driving that section of the interstate.  Even on a good day it’s all backed up at Fredericksburg.  They have no trucks left lane posted all along there but they don’t enforce it so the truckers use all three lanes and go as fast as they can until one of them does something stupid and blocks the road. What ever you don’t be on that road in the summer at closing time for Kings Dominion.

 

someone who was stuck there commented about walking on I 95 like it never happens.  We were stuck one time and the kids were out of there cars playing with a basketball.  Nothing unusual there.

 

@Jandi it does sound like you are well off the beaten path.  Outhouse, hand dug well but modern conveniences inside.  I’d say not my cup of tea but then I’m living on a boat and have to pump out my black water tank every other day into a portable camper tank. Then every other time I have to take that to a state park to dump it.  That can get pretty messy and smelly too.  At least I have fresh water.  Piped in or out of an onboard tank through a pressure pump.

Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of me living in a house I own! As for negatives, it is terribly cold here compared to the rest of the state, where it's generally warmer, and the house is on the older side. Until signing the contract, I had NEVER lived in a house before, and it was so hard spending time in apartments all my life. It's one of those cute houses where you go in from the backdoor and it has so much character, dating back to the 1700s, although part of it was added on in the 1900s.

@Willow When I lived on the gulf coast, Texas City, I had auto mechanics during senior year of high school.

I also worked at the car wash. When I graduated high school for a brief time(2 months) I worked

at a boat boat repair shop, mechanics and fiber glass and such, as an Apprentice. 

Then the military.

I've been on a lot of boats when I returned from over seas, but never really wanted to

work on them again. I took a new coastal path, go for the ride, get off the boat, and let someone else

do the hard work.

I'm reading all your posts on your boat project. Just don't know how to reply to them.

Good luck and best wishes on your project.

Artpetal, isn't life so much more relaxing when your neighbors are separated by a property line and not a couple inches of drywall. Congratulations on being a home owner.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe

That's good.

My son is living in (and working on) one from the 1800's.  They've found all kinds of things in the walls while remodeling.

Mine, while primitive, is no where near that old.

Old houses do have a character to them that new ones seem to lack.  I think it's from generations of people living in them over the years.

In my house 5 of my children were born, and my mother passed in the room that is my bedroom now.  I have no idea of what went on here before we came.  

Interestingly, the Fort Fisher Hermit lived next door (place is long gone) before moving to the beach.

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
