Good morning everyone 

 

I really need the Major’s fine elixir this morning.  I can’t seem to wake up.  Interesting Mother’s Day.  I was dressed and outside before my wife.  I got wished happy Mother’s Day twice.  Every time I get a comment reserved for women it is so reassuring.

 

 

I'm with you on getting comments reserved for women. It is both reassuring and affirming.

Hugs

Not a good start to the week so far. Woke up this morning to a GERD flair up, So much fun, and had to call in. Now I’m sitting at Childrens ER with my oldest because of a rash that we can’t figure out.

We had a guy here to look at the furnace.  We were getting an oil smell every time it ran.  Nice guy, seemed competent, and he put a temporary fix on what he thinks is the problem.  But we need a minimum of $7000 worth of work to (a) do a proper fix and (b) bring it up to code.  And that still leaves us with a furnace nearing the end of its life.  It will cost about $12000 - $15000 to replace the whole works.

 

It sucks, but, considering that we want to sell the house next year (might have to postpone that a year, now), it's got to be done.  We won't get the money back in increased selling price, but we will be able to put "all new mechanical systems" on the listing.

 

When I called to book the appointment, I didn't get misgendered on the phone.  They didn't even ask me to spell my name, the face-saving technique of someone who was expecting a male name and thought she heard "Kathy".  She just asked if it was with a C or a K.  Nice!

I had my pre-employment physical this morning. Even though I had to put my legal name on the forms, I still got to check female. Took care of the routine incidentals, then to the exam room. After BP and O2 check, I was told to leave only my undies and socks on and put on the gown. Had trouble tying the top strings because of my ponytail, so just did what I could. Male doctor, seemed very disinterested. Eventually asked me to hop off the exam table, bend over, and try to touch my toes. No sweat. Bent over, gown came almost completely off. Who knows if he had noticed the female box checked, but whatever. I pulled it back on as I stood up. Then it was gotta check for hernia. I pulled up the front of the gown and he said, "Drop 'em." Check check, cough cough. All I could think of was if he appreciated the fact that my bikini panties were color coordinated with my outfit. Another first checked off my list.

Good evening

 

@JustineM GERD can bring on some serious consequences.  It is believed that my GERD was caused by medications that shouldn’t have been prescribed together.  The GERD caused my laryngeal cancer.  So, I know that’s not something that happens to everyone but just keep an eye on it.

 

@Marcie Jensen thanks.   Can’t think of anything that makes us feel better than getting noticed or recognized as a woman instead of a man dressed as a woman. When my wife and I go to a restaurant we get “ladies” and one check or two.  I love it.

Mother's day went well at my house.

I was surprised to get a text from my 29 yr old grandson saying "happy mother's day". My wife didn't get it, but my grandson obviously does. Father's day will be awkward. I can totally do without that holiday.

Good morning coffee lovers

 

I won’t be partaking today.  We are out of water!  The water main branch to the marina broke Sunday.  All they did was shut it down.  Yesterday it was supposed to be fixed.  Well the fix didn’t hold.  Off again!  Now waiting for the water people to come back again.  Argh!

 

Sorry, No coffee, no story for today.  I’m fresh out.

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

I'm still in catch up mode on the forums.

My wife is being very distant and sharp with her attitude when we do have conversation. Oh well, I have a very busy Summer schedule teaching around the country on the calendar so our conversations will be limited to a tin minute call in the evenings. Who knew that the year I start announcing plans to fully retire, that I get busier than ever? Traveling for work ends November 11, 2022. I turn 66 on November 8, 2022. My last travel training will be during my birthday week, and it's in Hot Springs, AR teaching for AR Department of Emergency Management. (ADEM)

 

Hugs for everyone, stay motivated, and positive,

Congratulations. Exciting time.

Yay @HollyNG!

 

I had a nice few minutes today at the mall in a store where it was just the two sales women and me (got there for opening based on the schedule of my day). I guess I'm lucky that most of the store is not to my taste or I'd have spent a lot of money!

hi

 

well we sort of have water.  The pressure is grossly inadequate.  What I’m having to do is fill our onboard tank and utilize our pressure pump in order to be able to shower or wash. My wife gets the first shower tomorrow while I fill the tank so that I can take a shower.  She is getting a massage I’m not.  So I can shower after I refill the tank and refill it again.

 

We have about 80 gallons of tankage.  
 

maybe with some luck, we will get more water flow and pressure by morning when everyone has caught up.

 

good night

I'm sorry you're going through this. Being on water rationing stinks, no matter what the cause. Your plight brings back memories of Desert Storm--we got a 5 minute shower every three days whether we needed it or not. Mostly we did...

Evening everyone,

 

Your resident debbie downer here. Well it is all but official that the other asst manager got the commercial counter position I was wanting. Still haven't had my yearly eval yet. not even a mention of it. I am almost sick about it. Is the manager afraid of me. Maybe he just doesn't want to deal with the trans girl. I just get the funny feeling that the later is true. Of course I can't prove jack.

 

Well some good news I have gotten a pre-approval on a home loan. Yet, barely anything in that price range around here. The one we are looking at, is almost 7500 more than the approval is for. The story of my life. like the old AC/DC classic "Shot down in flames." or the grateful Dead, " to hell in a bucket", but a least I'm enjoying the ride!

 

Take care ladies, Hugs to all.

Congrats on the approval! That's a big step. Has your realtor tried negotiating about the $7500 difference? That often works, Also, if the home inspector turns up anything major, you can use that as a bargaining chip to bring the price down.

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

I'm on my third cup of the wonderfully dark roast coffee. Monday and Tuesday were hot physical days in the workshop. Today is a slower pace office documents day.

 

Take care of yourselves, stay motivated and positive.

Good Morning

 

Peet, Major Dickinson and I are having a meeting this morning.  I told them I was glad they were back.  My wife took a shower this morning. Now to top up the tank and take mine.

 

Turned in my request for a preliminary hearing.  They will send me notification of the date.  
 

I had to charge the battery for my Explorer.  I don’t run it often enough and the various things that draw power in a modern car run the battery down.   I’ll put it back in and start it up today. Once it’s run a bit I’ll go get gas.  I know it’s low. 
 

@KymmieL I once thought I was up for a job promotion.  The boss promised to consider me.  He did finally get to sit down with him.  I could tell that I wasn’t going to get the job, he was just going through the motions.  I quickly changed my posture to insure I wasn’t going to loose the position I had.  I was right, he had hired some one two weeks before our interview.  Guess he didn’t realize that as the controller I would have to see his offer and acceptance to put him on payroll.

 

My point is don’t get too down on yourself, it happens all the time.  Someone’s long time buddy gets the job before you even get the promised opportunity. 
 

Good luck with the house hunting. 
 

Hugs

Getting ready to drive to the mountains.  The plan is for the VA support group to meet in person for a change.  It's a long drive, but should be worth it.

Good afternoon, and, for me, it's G****ade. Just got back from my 3-mile walk. Felt like at least double, compared to Monday. 60 degrees then, 92 now. I'll be used to it by Sunday, when it will be 70.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
