As a teen, I saw Spock and the Vulcans as big role models!

 

OMG Heather I did the same thing! I wonder how many of us Vulcans are out there?

At least one more!  Throughout my childhood and now that I'm a student of Stoic philosophy, he will always have a special place in my heart...  Even though he is based on a tragic misunderstanding of Stoicism.

Good morning 

 

I’ve already had my coffee.  I need to shower and dress.  I have my therapy appointment at 10.

 

-penis--pit o meter is reading 81 already.  It’s supposed to be mid 90s every day this week.  It’s the beginning of meteorological summertime and it knows it.  It’s also the beginning of the hurricane season.  Let’s hope it avoids the east coast this year.  Maybe avoids land period this year.  Wouldn’t that be nice.  At least they aren’t predicting a record breaking number of storms.

 

well I guess I’d better get moving.

 

hope you have a great day today 

 

Willow

Good morning from the Ford Service Center, their Coffee is actually very good.

 

2014 F-250 with 240 thousand miles on the Diesel engine isn’t bad. It’s the components that hang on to the engine that wear out. I hope I’m not jinxing myself, but if I can make it to November 12, 2022. My road trips around the lower 48 will end, and my business relying on the truck will end. From that date on, the only time I’ll need the truck is to pull Ms Suzie’s camper around. 
 

Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,

@Ticket For Epic, interesting point, and so true. Have you read the writings of Marcus Aurelius? He's probably the most famous of the stoic philosophers.

@Mmindy Thanks for the tip on the nails. I need a stronger coating on mine. Just need to find a place that does it.

 

30s on the Fenceometer looking at high of 57. It was so nice when we were in Lincoln. As it was in the low 80s the whole weekend.

 

Feeling pretty good these last few days. Shortly both my wife and youngest will be going to the day shift. So, Kymmie will be able to come out an play a lot more. Summer skirts and dresses here we come.

Indeed I have!  My introduction was Seneca the younger, Moral Letters to Lucilius...changed my life.  Followed by Meditations, which is great for a quick maxim.  Why don't they teach philosophy in school?

@Ticket For Epic, I have no idea why philosophy isn't taught any more. Same goes for History, Grammar and cursive writing. Both my kids graduated high school over 10 years ago and there were some things that struck me as really odd. For example, my youngest daughter came home from an advanced placement American History class that had just finished a module on the Civil War and did not know who Jefferson Davis was. Similarly, my oldest came back from a civics class not knowing the difference between the constitution and the declaration. Neither got anything regarding philosophy, the classics or similar studies. And, it's getting worse, according to my youngest who is now a high school English teacher.

 

It's a bit scary, actually.

Super happy for you @Vidanjali! Most of my NB friends say, "any pronouns," but I think it's absolutely important to get it right. I'm glad your PT feels the same way.

 

Hugs!

 

Thanks, darlin! I had another appointment today and apparently this has opened up a deeper line of communication as she has shared that she's recently become interested in educating herself on social justice issues. I love having those conversations & being around people who are committed to personal growth not only for their own sake, but for the benefit of society and culture.

@Ticket For EpicAsked why don't they teach philosophy anymore?

 

The simplest answer is probably no one wanted to study it. There does seem to be a movement away from the art and science of critical thinking towards the 'correct way to think'. I studied to be a lawyer before I came out as an engineer. As such I was exposed to a fair of philosophy and the rat of reasoning. I have always found that my legal training was by far the important to my career in wireless engineering. Yes one needed to understand the math and science. However, identifying and resolving problems is the essence of a legal education. There is substantial value in the traditional liberal arts education.

 

I will admit that philosophy was difficult and a struggle to understands there is not the right answer only better or worse answers

Well today was a wonderful day. Finished work 2 hrs early and only minimal bs to deal with lol. Finishing early also means I get to start my four day weekend early!

"Correct thinking" reminds me of the novel 1984. Miranda, I completely agree with everything you said. Learning how to think critically is indeed the most important of education.

 

I also think it's interesting to note that virtually all totalitarian regimes--from despotism to fascism to communism all adopt "correct thinking," "group thinking," or something similar as a central part of their core ideologies. Just sayin'...

I am not sure I emote like either Spock or Shatner/Kirk, but I am liking the new Star Trek with Christopher Pike. It is like the original pilot, only better!

Good morning 

 

I became very frustrated with our lender last night.  They insist that information they need must be in a specific format .  It’s from the IRS website.  I follow their link to the letter, all it does is take me to what I already sent them.  
 

@Jandi there wasn’t anything wrong with the word I used when taken in context.  Changing it to the P word changes the meaning completely.  I suppose I should have used Helm-o-meter.  But sometimes my brain doesn’t come up with the right word.   In any event, to the censorship team, I was using cockpit as in where it Captain and first officer control a plane or sailboat.  Not as a vulgar term for a body part.

 

anyway. Please change it to Helm-o-meter.  Thank you!

Been enjoying the heck out of the new show. The characters are fun, it's not just focusing on part of the crew and Nurse Chapel... If I'm being honest, the way that character is written absolutely turns me on. My wife thinks I'm nuts, but she probably thought that before.

 

Hugs!

Americans don't seem concerned with using mythology to heal themselves anymore—hatred is such a weak crutch.

I do like the new Star Trek. I cannot wait till the next Episode is available. Oh, wait. It is Thursday and new ones come out Thursdays. 😁  Nurse Chapel is very nice on the eyes.

 

As for you being nuts. We have known that for years. Love ya sweetie.

 

@Willow While your -CENSORED- is paperwork. Mine is just finding a house in our approval range. The two we saw we were out bid on. the couple that are. are two small and/or dumps. I'm sure VA wouldn't go for.

 

Hus,

Kymmie

On the eyes? I guess, I'm demi though. What got me going is her character's slightly off-kilter mad science personality. She can experiment on me ANYTIME.

 

Hugs!

      Them's fighting words, but I intend to discuss this respectfully, calmly and so forth, in accordance with the forum rules.   Considering the one issue below in isolation:   There is a political calculus that trans folk may be better off under Trump than under Biden.  The argument goes that Biden has created such a backlash by moving so far to the left that red states, in particular, are reacting with a swarm of laws that negatively impact trans folk.  Some of his actions strike many people as clumsily forcing unwanted regulation on people, and some of his appointments, such as the luggage stealing bigender individual, have not helped advance trans folk but rather the reverse.  In a second term Biden would make things worse for trans folk because of the backlash and resentment his policies would create.    Trump likely would have negative impacts to trans folk, as he did in his first term with respect to the military, so it is a set of tradeoffs as to which is worse.   Thoughts?

      Can you dress androgynously?

      There are trans folk who pass better than some cis people.  People usually aren't on the lookout for those who are cross dressed.  As long as there are no multiple screaming signals and you don't draw attention to yourself you can probably pass better than you think. For example, if you walk into a bank in heels, however, and you DON'T know how to walk in heels, you will attract the attention of a security guard, especially if you are acting nervous. If you wear flats and just go to the bank and do your business like anyone else, it is likely no one will notice, except that there was a customer who was taller than most women are, but then there are tall women, and tall, broad shouldered woman.  I made the mistake years ago of thinking I had outed such, and knew she was a he.  Later I learned she had five kids, and her husband was bigger than she was.  Ooops.

      I don't know much about CNAs.  They report to an RN, right?  Can you somehow bring this up to the RN in a way that does not get your CNA mad at you? I'm not saying you should, but maybe that is a good course of action.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      This is the thing.  A month ago tomorrow is when I stopped wearing m clothing.  Today I feel great.  I do not have dysphoria when I am dressed as and I move as a woman.  I was just thinking about that because I was wondering if I would or will get hit with a wave of "you don't have dysphoria so you might as well dress like a guy. Less hassle with your wife."  Not that she is aware, to my knowledge, that these androgynous clothes are women's.  No desire to "flip", no feeling of need to, just happy identifying as female.  Speaking, in my deep guy voice, with female voice patterns, doing the feminine gestures that come naturally and without exaggeration and at peace.
    • Birdie
      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient. 
    • Ivy
      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.
