@Elizabeth Star

 

I am so sorry for your loss.  Loosing a loved on is very hard.  I am glad they allowed you to be there with her.

 

I know I will say a prayer for you both and I’ll keep you in my heart.  Know that you are important to all of us and let us know if there is anything you need.


sending hugs and love

@Elizabeth Star I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP Alison 🙏❤️ and live in peace, Liz. I pray your grieving will be gentle and full of grace. I'm glad your brother is with you. That's amazing that Tiffany was playing. Like, of all people? One of many tributes to Alison. You'll continue to be in my thoughts, dear.

@Bri2020 After this surgery you'll have to update your login name to Bri2022!  A new you.  

 

As to Apple face recognition, possibly it looked at your eyes and gave the go ahead.  I haven't tried that feature on my MacBook.

 

Cheers, 

Jani

stumbled across one of our local venues and Tiffany was playing. Remember Tiffany from the 80's? Alison would have loved it so we stay for the show.

 

Oh that's really cool! My mom, a very spiritual person, would have insisted that was no coincidence!

I'm sad

Good evening Roxiee,

I'm located in Central Indiana, fairly close to the center of the USA. It's late afternoon here, so you're surely in the evening by now. I hope you see that sadness is an up and down ride through life. I'm an old person transitioning into an old lady. Do you have any friends close to you or a family member you can trust with your feelings? I like to say that Life is not only a team event, it much like an open book test. You can always ask for help or look up the answers in a search engine.

There are so many of us here who will take the time to listen if you want to ask questions or rant about your day. I also think its possible to feel lonely when you're in a room full of people, so take the time to talk with someone you trust.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,

Good morning everyone. I am holding together. My brother came down to stay with me for a few days so I'm not alone. Last night was the first time in well over a years I really felt the need for a drink. My brother did offer to go get a bottle but I felt it would have been a bad idea so we went out instead. we stared off at the bar I met my partner at so many years ago. Had a drink and left. We drove around for a little while and stumbled across one of our local venues and Tiffany was playing. Remember Tiffany from the 80's? Alison would have loved it so we stay for the show. I know I still have a lot of grieving to do but it was a nice distraction for the night.

 

Today I have to pull myself together and start making final arrangements for her. I always thought I would have more time.

Lizzy,

We're so relieved that your brother has come to support you through this toughest of times. I think it was a better idea to go out to a few places to touch those places that you and Alison frequented. I'm also feeling the same way @Heather Nicolesaid her mother was. Your finding a venue playing Tiffany was more than a coincident. Take the time you need to figure out life as you work through the grieving process.

 

Hugs, and prayers,

I really needed coffee this morning but my lower lip has swelled to the point that I couldn't even slurp from a cup. I WILL NOT BE DETERRED!  Just needed to cool it off a little and use a straw.  

Understatement of the day "I have a headache".  I tried to go through the night with just advil for pain relief. I hate and fear narcotics.  Woke up at 4am miserable.  I think I'm probably dehydrated as well which could factor in. So- Narcs, caffeine and fluids is the order of the morning.

After rush hour I'm heading back to my apartment. I had spent the last three nights recovering in a hotel next to my doctor/hospital rather than home since that's a little over an hour away. It will be good to be home.  

Side note, I've lost all faith in the security of apple's facial recognition. It recognized my face to open my banking app this morning.

Bri,

I'm glad you're figuring out the timing of your pain meds, and hydration. As for the facial recognition on the iPhone, it's quick at adjusting to your eyes, bridge of the nose, and forehead. My iPhone even knows how many time I change sunglasses. When I change glasses, it makes me enter my pass code once and them we're good to go, until I change or take off my glasses.

 

Hope you feel better soon,

Oh Roxiee,

I'm sorry I missed the introduction thread.

I'll drop by and see it soon. I'm doing well for an old lady working from home, and trying to get use to the daily grind.

No more coffee, no more what are you listening to. No more what are you wearing. 

I'm done here. 

I was warned before I even came here from those outside of this group. 

I had them over to review my whole time here, I get I told you so, they ain't no one here ready for you.

Same reply from all, get out of there.

So I'm gone from here.

I do want to leave with this.

Thank you for allowing someone like me into your neighborhood.

 

I hope the best to all here.

LindaMarie.

Linda,

While I wasn't as engaging as I could have been with your posts. I was never offended by anything you shared.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe

LindaMarie was recently given a 3 day posting suspension for posting images that were in direct violation of Community Rule #8. She wasn't asked to leave. She evidently is leaving of her own volition. We have members here as young as 13. The images she posted were not suitable for them to be viewing. Especially, since many of them had parents looking over their shoulder.

That is why I started this thread over 550 pages ago. A place that we can just talk about anything. With in the rules. Of course. It is open to all members from 1-100yrs. @Roxiee Don't get discouraged about your intro post. I myself don't get to the intro section that often. you are welcome, to post here. As are anyone.

 

Hugs,

I've been feeling bad about @LindaMarie. Maybe it's my imagination, but for awhile lately I've been getting the impression she's been privately dealing with some difficult things, not quite sure what.

Liz, I'm glad you have someone close to be with you in these difficult times. I agree that the concert wasn't an accident. I believe your wife is telling you that she's ok now, and to remember her in a good way, remembering the best times with her. The ones who love us the most, I think always find a way to come back at least once to console us. Hang in there. You have friends that care. 💜

I'm sorry I missed your arriving here. Welcome to the group. There are plenty of good people here to talk to. Most of us have similar experiences in life. It's nice to be able to talk to someone who understands what we're going through.

      Nostalgia is an emotion. It is the feeling of enjoying events from the past. People with nostalgia will often look at or use old things that they were familiar with years ago. This is because people feel more connected to those past times that they enjoyed, usually because it reminds them of how long it has been since they last connected to such past times. Examples where people may have the feeling of nostalgia includes watching old TV shows, using old technology that was very enjoyable, and playing with toys that you played with as a child. These memories are usually misleading, and can make someone wish that they could be young again, even if their childhood was mediocre. Human brains often leave out boring or bad memories, which can cause incorrect feelings about their childhood.

      CAT FACTS A cat's jaw cannot move sideways. The only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat   A house cat’s genome is 95.6 percent tiger, and they share many behaviors with their jungle ancestors, says Layla Morgan Wilde, a cat behavior expert and the founder of Cat Wisdom 101. These behaviors include scent marking by scratching, prey play, prey stalking, pouncing, chinning, and urine marking. Cats are believed to be the only mammals who don’t taste sweetness. Cats are nearsighted, but their peripheral vision and night vision are much better than that of humans. Cats are supposed to have 18 toes (five toes on each front paw; four toes on each back paw). Cats can jump up to six times their length. Cats’ claws all curve downward, which means that they can’t climb down trees head-first. Instead, they have to back down the trunk. Cats’ collarbones don’t connect to their other bones, as these bones are buried in their shoulder muscles. Cats have 230 bones, while humans only have 206. Cats have an extra organ that allows them to taste scents on the air, which is why your cat stares at you with her mouth open from time to time. Cats have whiskers on the backs of their front legs, as well. Cats have nearly twice the amount of neurons in their cerebral cortex as dogs. Cats have the largest eyes relative to their head size of any mammal. Cats make very little noise when they walk around. The thick, soft pads on their paws allow them to sneak up on their prey — or you! Cats’ rough tongues can lick a bone clean of any shred of meat. Cats use their long tails to balance themselves when they’re jumping or walking along narrow ledges. Cats use their whiskers to “feel” the world around them in an effort to determine which small spaces they can fit into. A cat’s whiskers are generally about the same width as its body. (This is why you should never, EVER cut their whiskers.) Cats walk like camels and giraffes: They move both of their right feet first, then move both of their left feet. No other animals walk this way. Male cats are more likely to be left-pawed, while female cats are more likely to be right-pawed. Though cats can notice the fast movements of their prey, it often seems to them that slow-moving objects are actually stagnant. Some cats are ambidextrous, but 40 percent are either left- or right-pawed. Some cats can swim. There are cats who have more than 18 toes. These extra-digit felines are referred to as being “polydactyl.”

      Good morning,   I over slept yesterday was a couple minutes late clocking in.  But no breakfast or coffee.  Got caught up but it was go go go all morning.  I had to ask for a refresher on how I was to enter something but once I got a quick answer it came back to me.    @KymmieL sorry Ford didn’t work out.  We are always looking for good reliable people, I could get you a job here but the commute would be rough.  Today I have three audits to get done, plus other things during my shift on top of the regular things.  Since I am opening that puts me in the drivers seat.  The Asst Mgr comes in part way throuh my shift but she will have to handle customers while I do the work she would be doing if she opened. Tail wagging the dog.  Guess she’s getting punished for not following the Mgr’s requests.  They do tend to butt heads a lot.     Butting heads with people is a thing the Asst is known for.   @awkward-yet-sweet do you think just maybe this new graphics request was in the offing?  And why you were asked to go to work with your husband?  Obviously, he cares about you a lot and is trying to do things to help you.   speaking of meeting people @Adrianna Danielle we have a youngish customer who comes in frequently, I’d like to approach her but I’m just not certain yet.  She still dresses male but has long hair and early chest development.  My approach, if I ever decided I should would just be supportive but I really can’t be sure that is what is going on here or what and I would not want to make a big blunder if that’s not what he is doing.  A male with early teen boobs doesn’t want to be noticed.   well, I can’t be late again, I’ve got to leave now.  See you again later for afternoon tea and crumpets or scones. Mmm scones!   lol   Willow

      Well, HIPAA is basically useless for keeping government out of your medical stuff.  It doesn't seem to prevent employers from making workplace medical demands either.  About the only thing it seems to do is keep somebody's sister or spouse from having the tools necessary to help you when you're in trouble.  As usual, government made things worse and added unhelpful red tape.  I really doubt HIPAA will be any use in the area of trans rights either.    Honestly, I don't see anything good will come of this no matter how it goes.  If some state AG's win on this, it will cause issues for trans folks.  If the Feds win on this, it'll be a precedent to stomp on states' rights even more than has already been done.  And I'm not sure which way things go will make a difference when it comes to officials from one state trying to do nasty things to people who have left that state and gone elsewhere.    What a crap sandwich... and no matter which plate it gets served on, "We The People" get to eat it.

      At least you tried!  Something equivalent or better may come up, and the waiting could be worth it.  Just keep trying and you'll eventually get what you need and want.      For me, having somebody to love was the most important.  Everything else follows after that.  I waited a long time to find somebody...and she ended up leading me to more than I ever thought possible.    Actually, I'm feeling pretty good right now.  I have something work-like outside of my home responsibilities to do for the first time in about 18 months.  Nobody seems to mind the real me.  And this evening, my husband said something that just really made me feel special.  He was rubbing my back, shoulders, and chest while we talked, helping me relax.  He told me that he thought I was really cute in my girl form, but that he thinks my boy form might even be cuter.  And that he's proud of his "smart little Pocket Fox."    For me, the combination of those sweet words and the physical affection was exactly what I needed.
