Fun fact: There are free English to Klingon translators on the interwebs!

 

Anyway, I think what Bri is getting at is, "Why are you staying with let alone buying a house with this woman when she's clearly abusing you?"

@NashySlashy I'm sorry your belly isn't feeling too good today. I hope it passes soon. 

Thank you! It's feeling alright at the moment, but you never know if that will stay lol.

 

As for today, I once again had to play peacekeeper for my spouse and our housemate. He made a comment that hurt our housemate's feelings and she was feeling very insecure from it. I had to talk her down from her spiral of self-loathing...again. For those of you that remember my thread about my roommate...this is her. It's so tiring having to play peacekeeper all the time. I know the easiest solution to this issue is "just don't play peacekeeper"...but that's easier said than done.

I used to have to do this constantly between my ex, and one of our daughters.  It gets old quickly.

Good morning everyone 

 

well, yesterday was a long day.  We had to be up before 5am to be in Charleston by 8am. That’s about 2 hours from here.  I had an ophthalmologist appointment, first time I’d seen one in many years.  I was concerned about cataracts. I got a clean exam.  Minimal grade cataracts, no surgery at this time.  And a new prescription for glasses.  
 

then we went to the Apple Store with issues with our IPhones. They couldn’t see us until the afternoon.  Next we had lunch. And my wife also had an ophthalmologist appointment.  We weren’t able to make our Apple Genius appointment so I will schedule one for 5he next time we are in Charleston.  we both have cellular internet issues and she has an Apple  ID problem.

 

finally made some progress on the kitchen.  The old cabinets were removed.  The dry wall removed, the area was heavily sprayed for residual mold.  Insulation replaced, drywall replaced, new cabinets installed.  Now we are awaiting the granite countertops to complete the job.  Finally some light at the  end of the tunnel.

 

I understand about being the peacekeeper.  I tried for years to do that between my wife and daughter.

Update:

 

Things are going pretty well this morning. I submitted my Patreon page for my writing (hopefully it gets accepted) and I signed up for a sculpting course at the art school that's about five minutes from my house. I also got the okay to call off work tomorrow so I could pay some bills.

 

Productive day, despite having to play peacekeeper. :)

Good afternoon everyone,

 

Suzie and I took our two youngest grandsons to Peru, IN Circus week, last week.

We had a real blast watching them look in wonder as the performers put on the greatest show on earth.

Then we let them ride every ride on the fairground midway. Oh, we also filled them up with snow cones, cotton candy, popcorn, and whole strength Coke. Adrenaline and Sugar Highs for everyone. They were real troopers at the campground as well, graduating from their tiny spider man and iron man fishing poles, to the traditional "Zebco 202" starter fishing rods and reels. Then there was time at the swimming area, which was nothing like the ocean beach they're use to. This was a mud bank with a rope swing.

 

I'm glad to see that most of you are doing well, and coping with the real life tests we face.

 

Hugs,

Had a disputed purchase through my Paypal account for a $500 iPhone, it was red flagged and got an invoice saying to notify within 24hrs to cancel transaction. Which I did, but I would have let the mail sit unread since it's not from Paypal, but some rando's gmail. Which I think is weird. Unless it's subcontracted?

Anyway, the fact that the transaction was flagged due to location anyway reassured me. Apparently the buyer bought in bitcoin and the helpdesk person was asking me if I ever used BC.

Been hanging out at home with the cat on my two days off which I haven't done in a long time and couch surfing. My name changes are almost all done except a few utilities and I said a few months ago when I got it approved I'd start researching education or career options but RN I just don't have the motivation. I think the upping Spiro knocked down my T just a bit more cause it feels like the first couple weeks on HRT until my body adapted I guess.

Also the BFF I am trying not to love too much is out of town on business this week and Im trying to be mature but feeling pretty emo and codependant. 

 

Hope everyone stays healthy and positive

I've been tapped to teach a fitness class at the gym! In typical, well, ME fashion I went completely overboard and purchased a MASSIVE speaker that connects to my phone via Bluetooth. Completely shook the rafters, it was glorious. I also discovered that the other trainer just plays random music off his phone during class. I mean, what the actual duck? I sometimes worry that I'm the only professional in the whole darn company. Who blasts uncensored Chris Rock (and others) in a gym full of random people?

On the plus side, my first class went swimmingly and was a ton of fun to teach.

 

Talking to my endo next week. My E levels remain stable so nothing new to report there. She's probably going to stay the course and I'm fine with that.

 

I also tried a new recipe with my protien powder: I added a cup of yogurt! Now it tastes like strawberry-flavored chalk!

 

Hugs!

OK, point. Still, you can get sued for that.

I'm sorry I miss the class. I took a right turn at Albuquerque. Sounds like a fun time.

Hey Stveee, this looks like a phishing attempt. I used to work in fraud prevention for a major bank, and we saw this sort of thing all the time. You should, if you haven't already, contact PayPal directly. PayPal doesn't use contractors--no financial institution does as it's against federal law. Additionally, the Bitcoin question looks like an attempt to gain access to your financial information. I hope you didn't provide any information to this person, including things like bank account numbers and routing numbers, credit and/or debit card information and so on. You should also contact your bank and report this.

Hugs.

That's great! Have you ever sculpted before, or is this a new interest? Sounds super fun. 

 

I'm getting assessed for pelvic floor disorder today via manometry test. Fun stuff! (That's sarcasm, in case anyone wasn't sure, lol.) The bright side is that if they determine disorderliness, the treatment is therapy which I'm motivated to do. 

 

Hope everyone is having a good morning so far. ❤️

Good luck with your screening! Hope you get some answers!

I was getting frequent email about my PayPal saying it was locked etc.   But it always worked anyway.  I phigured it was some kind of scam.

Congrats on the completions, and an early congrats on the FFS!

 

This makes me wonder though, and perhaps this is merely a sign I'm still under-caffeinated right now, but why do we call it "Facial Feminization Surgery" when we could be calling it something like "Above The Top Surgery", or "Tippy-Top Surgery"? 🤔

If you do, don't click on any link in such emails, it may look like PayPal.com but may be paypai using a capital (upper case) little i to replace the lowercase L in PayPal.

 

Instead, manually type in paypal.com in a fresh browser and check your account yourself. It usually is a phishing attempt.

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.
