So.... I have heard back from "Marie". She told me that I have a beautiful soul and I just melted. She wants to continue a friendship and that is as much as I could possibly hope for. Funny that I am still crying, but they are happy tears now. I know that I will finally sleep well tonight after so many nights of not sleeping. She will probably never know how much she has changed my life, but that is ok, I just want her to be a part of it.

That's wonderful. I am admittedly somewhat envious, but if I happened into such a situation, it would probably scare the heck out of me. I have too much of a history of just latching on and then screwing it up. 

 

Anyway, you deserve it, and I am truly happy for you.

She currently doesn't really want to know jack about my lady life.

My wife is the same way. She doesn't really want to know about Kymmie at all. I think that She knows I go on line and talk to my girl friends.

Maybe we should feel sorry for them, because they won't allow themselves to experience the happy versions of ourselves.

@KymmieLNot only do I still say bummer, I occasionally add the prefix "Whoa, dude!" to it.

Hi

 

@KathyLauren I didn’t think about that answer.  But you are right.  There are times and situations where we must care for ourselves in order to be able to care for others.

 

@CD Rachel I’m glad you heard back from “Marie”.  I know how upset you were, and how happy you are.

 

have a great day everyone

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

It's going to be a hot day in the shop. Hair up in a ponytail then up under a welding beanie, so I can wear my face-shield for grinding and then the welding helmet. Bib overalls, long sleeve denim shirt, leather apron, and heavy gloves. I'll stay hydrated, and aware of my physical condition, as I sweat away the pounds. On the days I work hard, I don't workout. Fans will be blowing from all directions.

 

Best wishes, positive motivation, and safety for all,

Good morning all.  0820hrs and already 60 on the fenceometer. Glad it's going to be a nice day. I need to get some stuff finished on the wagon for our trip tomorrow. We are heading to Lincoln for the weekend. As the 31st is my oldest grandsons birthday. Taking him and my granddaughter to Cars and Coffee Sat at Speedway Motors.

 

I still don't get my wife. yesterday, we go and look at a house. She is OK with me wearing a ladies Harley t with a padded bra. obviously, showing that I have breasts. Go figure. I guess even women don't understand women.

 

We put in an offer for this home. Should hear something later today.

 

Well off to the salt mines in a bit, but first coffee. As always brought to you today by Folgers.

 

Hugs,

I have family with those fancy set-the-time-grinds-brews, and is ready when you drag your butt out of bed.

But for me, Folgers in my coffee-press works just fine.

Hi, meeting with another lawyer tomorrow.  We’ll see how that goes.  Our daughter is also supposed to be coming here to a campground for the weekend.  We’ll see if she makes any contact with us.

 

Kymmie, I don’t know what to say.  I’ve been through similar things as well.  I never know what she is thinking.  It’s ok, then it’s not ok.  I hope your sons birthday goes well.  Our sons birthday is the 29th.

 

Jandi, we are using a very basic coffee maker.  Put water in, put a pod in and press start.  One cup at a time.  And if we are away from the dock I have a percolator.  Old school!  I have used Folgers and Maxwell House. But not instant coffee!

Willow, I will always keep an old fashion stovetop coffee percolator. I have two at home, and one in the camper. I may be without gas or electric, but I’ll never be without a functioning coffee maker.

Me, too! I always have one on hand. And, I gotta say, there's something extra special about percolated coffee made over a campfire...

In a whole 'nother area, I got a new fragrance today. I bought it as a kind of joke, but it smells good--007 for women. Sadly, the guitar riff and Walther PPK are not included...

I forgot to mention. Second day on my new job. Yesterday was all paperwork, today was all over the plant. Introduced to everyone as Hannah, and she this, her that. So awesome. Then I found out that my name badge can't have Hannah on it until I legally change my name. Not what I was initially told.😟 It actually didn't hit me all that hard at first, until I was introduced to a couple of folks in the same job who had their name badges hanging on their shirt pockets. Got kinda triggered.😬

Well had a good feeling today. Our apt is about 50 yrds from the parking lot. It is a PIA. SO today I am walking out to do some work on the wagon. Get her ready for the road trip tomorrow.

 

I notice that my pony tail is bouncing as I walked. Just like a girls does. I made me feel great.

I am having a difficult time with this hiding. So I think I am going to start pushing my boundaries. This week I came out to a friend at work. He is supportive and told me he is available if I need to talk. I then spoke to my brother and he and his wife now know. They both told me that they still love me and though they do not understand that this is about my happiness and they want me to be happy. I plan on talking to my sister soon. Then the hard part will be talking to my son, he worries me the most but this must be done. Then i will start to look at work. I would like to be full time by the end of this summer.

 

Done hiding!

You're not missing anything. Years ago I had a Walther PPK 9mm short - the same as 007 had. Terrible ballistics. Even the guy at the gun shop wouldn't buy it off me! 😅

Good morning everyone 

 

TGIF!  And I mean that with all I’ve got.  It’s been an up and down week for me, that’s for sure.  

 

The backpacking I’ve done has been along the Appalachian trail.  No camp fires allowed!  So mine has only been used over a single burner hikers camp stove.  Still nothing like a hot cup after a night on top of a mountain.  (And before you say anything about the Appalachians being hills, remember that they are the oldest know range in the world and we’re once believed to be as high as the Himalayan.

 

it’s supposed to be rainy and stormy today, but nice for the weekend.  I’d like to take the sailboat out Saturday, we will have to see about that.  There is a fishing tournament going on as well as the holiday weekend boaters and I don’t want to deal with a bunch of power boaters.  They brought in a blue marlin that weighed nearly 400 pounds yesterday.

 

Otherwise nothing much going on.  
 

Willow

That's the most important part. They don't have to understand right now, it's a learning curve. Love is the most important part. My son knows about my transition and is extremely uncomfortable with it. He does not want any confusing signals about my gender in front of his three teenage children.

I like seeing what hikers start off with and what they drop off as they find out the Ounces add up to Pounds, and Pounds equal Pain. As for the age of the Appalachian Mountains it hard for people who don't have an appreciation for Geology and Plate Tectonics to grasp the millions of years that have shaped our world known as Earth.

 

Good morning, today's coffee:coffee: was brewed in an electric Bunn coffee maker, so it's a good sign that the kick off to Summer is under way. TGIF

      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.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
