@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.

 

Smiles,

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,

Kymmie

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.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.
