That's fantastic news @Davie !! I'm actually finding Atlanta season 3 to be outstanding. Haven't finished it yet, but I find some of the themes to be refreshingly challenging to established norms, and I'm impressed by the conciseness, cleverness, and effectiveness of the writing. Also, some gorgeous aesthetics.

Just thought I'd randomly toss this out there, but I don't suppose anyone's planning to be out around either Fremont, IL or Perrysburg/Toledo, OH (or Fremont, OH, for that matter) this coming weekend, on either Saturday or Sunday? I'll be passing through both those days to visit my cousin in Kalamazoo, MI.

Ugh, I meant "Fremont, IN", not "Fremont, IL"!

Okay, so far.  Baked bread and drank coffee.  And it hasn't gotten hot yet.

Unfortunately I need to take my car in for some repairs in awhile.

Good morning, storms expected today at some point 

 

@Heather Nicole as you drive past Fremont OHIO give it a wave for me.  That’s my home town, born and raised there.  Last time I visited was 9 years ago.  Said goodbye to my grandfather, parents and sister.  All are buried there.  When I left, I had no intention of returning.  Fremont is a great place to be FROM.  The home of President Hayes and the worlds largest Heinz ketchup factory among other things. 
 

You wouldn’t be going to Cedar Point would you?

 

Wife and I both had our last for now therapy appointments.  When she came home she was in a good mood smiling etc.  I figured things went well.  Later she we were at the pool and she said except for housekeeping this feels like being on a permanent vacation.  That was the point and we both feel that way.  For me I was also happy.  It was pre planned it would be my last appointment unless something set me back.

 

I made the coffee today.  Starring dark roast from Seattle.  I got it just right.  Lots to do today.  Drug store, new broker, same firm, get more things off our boat and out of storage. Lots going on


l hope everyone has a great weekend.  
 

Hugs

OK it's friday. And I'm nervous about tomorrow. Scared. The Big Trans picnic happens. Many trans folks I've grown to love online I'll see live for the first time. In person. I don't know what to wear. They tolerate me pretty well on screen, but in person I'll be the really old guy who won't shut up. They'll have to ask me to leave with looks of disgust and nausea. I'll have to change back into a cis male again and take my cheating ex back home. From there I'll join the French Foreign Legion and die defending colonialism and racism in a desert. Flies will buzz over my forgotten bones.

Or maybe it'll be a nice sweet picnic—not sure which.

Tragically, I love on the other side of the state.

 

Enjoy your trip though!

That's pretty much my train of thought every time I have to socialize with people LOL.

 

But I think it will go well! Have fun and enjoy the tasty food and delightful company. :)

Right. Worst-case scenario would be to not show up at all based on fantasy-based self hatred. Better the Foreign Legion thing than nothing at all.

Well, I knew it was too good to be true. Looks like we may not be moving. The appraisal came in at $300 when we wanted to roll the closing in so we are looking for $310. I may have to bite the bullet and sell the bike. It will kill me to do it.

 

Well I snooped on my wife's phone. I now know where I stand with our oldest. I saw a text from him. "Hi, Mom. How are you doing. I love you" I have never gotten any texts like that from him. Oh, Well. I guess life will go on.  Another thing yesterday I was doing my normal morning stuff. When my youngest comes in. It seems like my wife's car has a flat he wants the jack stand out of the wagon. I guess that my wife doesn't think I would take care of it for her.  Again life goes on.

 

I wonder if she is at it again. I am working on doing a Holley Sniper fuel injection system on my wagon. I have finally picked up all the parts. But now I am missing my fuel pump, fuel filters, and a spool of 20ft of 3/8in fuel hose.  Nobody has seen it. I have checked everywhere but my wife's trunk. No sign.

 

hope everyone has a good day.

 

I'll try.

There seem to be a lot of Fremonts! And yea, unfortunately, Illinois isn't quite on the way from OH to MI. At least not the main part of MI anyway (Is that what they call it? The part that isn't Northern Michigan?) I'll just be clipping through a tiny corner of Indiana. (My gradeschool teachers would be so disappointed I still get IN and IL mixed up...Indiana's a neighbor, you'd think I could at least get that one right! 😜)

I have an aunt and uncle out near Pontiac. Unfortunately that won't be in the cards on this trip though, it's just a little more out of of the way than I'm going to have time for. ☹️

Yes, Fremont's nice! It's been close to 20 years for me, but I used to pass through all the time back when I went to BGSU. Coming from Cleveland, it was shorter and quicker to get off the turnpike at Fremont and take the back roads to I-75 than to go all the way to Toledo and have to drop back down south again.

Not this time 😭  Been awhile since I've been there. I'll be passing just south of it on the turnpike.

A Falcon?  My sister was a Falcon.  I’m a Rocket!  Sworn enemies.  LOL. Yes dropping off the turnpike and bypass Fremont then route 6 to Bowling Green is certainly the shortest way from Cleveland area.

Really? Wow, what I find even funnier about this is that UT was one of the schools my sister was considering back when she was looking into colleges! I remember being with her when she toured it, it's a nice campus!

Good Saturday morning.

 

@Heather Nicole the old portion of the campus is beautiful.  Then they tried to make it more modern. Since around 1967 they went to construction to match the University Hall.  Since UT started out as a City College they didn’t have the financial constraints that BG had when it came to architecture.  Many of the buildings, even the newer one received large donations from the Glass, automotive and other large companies in Toledo.   I’m class of 74.  It’s at least 3 times that now.

Well another potentially stormy day.  Safelight is supposed to replace our Jeep windshield this afternoon but they can’t do it if it’s raining.

 

we got a lot of our things off our boat yesterday.  I’m putting up a fan on the porch. And I need to get some more boxes out of storage before the rains come.  
 

Well the dog is asking to go out and my wife needs some attention today.  
 

hugs

Good morning. I'm already on my second cup of coffee.

 

Trying to figure out what all I need to do today. I definitely need to get my nails done. They're way to long and everyday tasks are a real struggle. I just don't know some women do it with super long nails. My riding mower has a dead battery. I had it out at one point and could hear the acid sloshing around when I shook it, sounded half full. I could just refill it and it might come back but it's 6-7 years old and I just don't want to worry about it.

 

My plans for selling my house and moving have been put on indefinite hold. There's been a lot of craziness going on in other parts on my life and I feel it's best to remain as stable and predictable as possible until the dust settles.

 

But, priorities, I need to get my day started. I'm going to get cleaned up and go out for breakfast.

 

❤️Have a great day everyone.

I walked in my first ever Pride parade today, at Annapolis Royal.  For a tiny little village (pop. 500), it was well attended, both in the parade and watching from the sidewalks.  It was a perfect day for it, sunny, not too warm, with a light breeze off the water.  That's me in the mask in the first photo.

 

My bigender friend Michelle was also in it (at right in 2nd photo), representing the Canadian Armed Forces' inclusivity program.

We’ll, I got as far as breakfast until I got word from from my friend. She’s super excited and wanted to let me know she’s going to be wear a pantsuit for our date tomorrow. Last I heard she was also painting her nails so she could look her best for me. I can only imagine how cute she’ll look. 
 

It brought up an issue for me. I have a lot of cute outfits but nothing that I feel will compliment what she’s wearing. So I’ve been in a bit of a panic for the last few hours trying to find a relatively classy dress. Unfortunately with such a short notice I’ve had no luck. However, I did find a black rhinestone belt to match my boots and hair band so it wasn’t a complete loss. 
 

Now I’m just waiting to get my nails done.

Well yesterday wound up being alright. Aside from the Ticketmaster app being a huge PITA.  The concert was great. Loverboy, Reo Speedwagon and Styx. I heard songs that I thought I would never hear live. 

 

Hugs.

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense.

      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…

      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
