Heading out for my 3rd visit to an endocrinologist this morning.  I always suffer anxiety before these visits - seeing a new person is making me even more anxious today.

0° F here in Wyoming, -29° F coming up Wednesday night. The places we go to for work!

I cannot even imagine these sort of temperatures.  Where I live the temperature has been known to fall below 50F - but it doesn't happen every year.

Good morning 

 

@Mmindy thank you for the post.  My coffee is black hot and strong this morning.  My wife’s implant went fine yesterday, but she can’t lie on her back.  It was a long day and she just Ed wanted to get home so we didn’t pick up her prescriptions. One for pain and the other an antibiotic.  I’m wondering if I shouldn’t cancel my appointment as she probably won’t be able to drive.  Especially not if she is either in pain or taking the pain medication.  Can’t say that I am anxious to do this.  I’m not a baby but this is one thing I hate doing.

 

@KymmieLI agree with Mmindy, thank you so very much for sharing your cold temperatures with the rest of us.  You know I moved here just so I could enjoy temperatures in the 20s.  The best part is we won’t be getting any snow for Christmas, just the cold.

 

The construction crew has dropped to a new low.  They have blocked the parking lot again with roof trusses but that’s it.  They have been there since last week but they aren’t installing any of the yet.  Still one more building which they are supposed to start building in January.  Yeah!  Three buildings in various stages of completion at the same time.  Is there to be no rest.  At least by this time next year they should be gone.  That will bring other things to the table unfortunately.

 

HUGS

I got a mental picture

You're welcome Marcie,

As soon as I read it, I did a full on belly laugh, and had to share it.

 

@KymmieLand @Willow I actually love the Winter cold, and snow as long as I can view it from my window. I have a brand new snowblower that only seen 2" of snow so far the year. 2" of snow isn't worth starting up the machine. My driveway and sidewalks only take a few minutes to clear, so I take care of a couple of elderly neighbors driveways and sidewalks along the cul-de-sac. I also clear around the two fire hydrants on our street.

 

Thursday we drop from a high at Midnight of 38°F to -6°F and a frozen mix of ice and snow.

Friday continued snow with a temperature of -1°F and single digits for the rest of the weekend. 

 

This means I will be going through a lot of bird seed, and the feeder will be extra active.

 

Hugs,

I spent five years in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.  It used to get down to -40 (C or F: they are both the same at that temperature) quite regularly.  At -40, the oil in my car's transmission was so thick, I could drive it in Neutral.  On the plus side, at -40, the airplane would go really fast: lots of dense air!

For me, the coldest I've ever been was in FT Greely Alaska in January 1983. My unit went through the Arctic Warfare School. It got to -70 F at one point. And we were living in tents on a glacier for most of the training. To this day I'd like to get hold of the joker who thought going from FT Benning GA (about +60) to Alaska in January was a good idea.

About 5 years ago. We had a -50 morning. Only 2 of our vehicles would start. We had snow too so not only was it flipping cold I had to dig out the car too.

 

My depression has gotten worse in the last day or so. I think with the cold arse weather coming, the lack of a working furnace, and the time of year. Has cause it to worsen. My wife not seeming to care about me. I have felt like taking a nice nap outside. But I hate the cold too much.

 

With my $$ situation I haven't done any xmas shopping. Who knows what I will have once I paid the bank back on payday tomorrow.

 

Hope you all have abetter day than I have been.

 

Hugs,
Kymmie

I'm sorry sweetie. There is a non-zero chance that I'll just hull down in my enourmous beanbag Friday and wait it out. Remember: Self-care is important too. You need to do the little things for yourself that bring you joy because your wife apparently won't.

 

Hugs!

Quick good morning 

 

no coffee for me, I have to leave for my colonoscopy in a couple minutes

 

 

LOOK OUT EVERYONE, WE’VE GOT A JUMPER!  @Hannah Renee sorry girl,  I’ll never jump out of an airplane that can still fly.  You go girl!

 

coldest I know with certainty was -20 in a summer uniform.   It likely was colder than that when I was in Colorado but I was dressed for it.

 

gotta go

You've got more than one. I loved every single jump I made--both static line and free fall. I finally had to quit in my 50s when my knees were shot. @Willow, girl you ought to try it. The feeling is indescribable, and statistically it's safer than taking a bath.

Me too.  I have 1500 hours in an ejection seat-equipped aircraft, all of it wearing a parachute.  But I would never jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.

 

Though I must say that starting my transition did feel like jumping out of an aircraft without a parachute.  That plane was definitely broken, though.

the coldest I've ever been...

For this Los Angeles native (where we averaged a dusting of snow once every 11 years), my first extended encounter with cold was my year abroad in Sweden, but my best experience was the first sauna I ever had. A new friend in Finland introduced me to it -- after cross-country skiing at -25 C. -- where we beat ourselves with birch twigs in the intense heat, followed by running immediately outdoors and rolling in the snow.  It certainly made an impression, as years later I made sure to install a sauna in our home here in the Boston area. 💦🙂

I'll have to take their word for it.  They tried to talk me into it at Ft. Bragg (I don't know what they call it now)   But I'm not jumping out of a perfectly good airplane either.

I’m back!

 

ok I’ve felt better but it’s over.  Yes they found polyps but they always do.  Happy to be back home where I can be comfortable and warm.  Did I mention being warm?  It was cold at the hospital.  I needed two heated blankets.

 

best part?  I can eat!

As to the feeling, one of the instructors on my first free-fall (HALO) jump said that it's the best feeling you can get with your pants on.

For a man, maybe.  I've jumped out of a plane 912 times, about 40 in the nude.  I'd have taken skydiving over "pants off" fun any day.  Pants off skydiving is thrilling but it's not really fun - bloody cold.

I’ll tell you what, jumping or getting pushed out of a plane, not for me.  But, I’ll jump off a boat miles offshore and drop down 130 feet.  that’s over 4 atmospheres of pressure.  And!! You have to find the boat again.  You don’t have to find the plane after you jump, you can’t miss the ground, it’s alway beneath you. Also,I get to see all kinds of interesting stuff that very few people ever see with no fear of hitting something solid at a deadly speed.

 

yes, I was in a plane wearing a parachute once.  Good thing we didn’t have to jump, I couldn’t get the door open even on the ground.  In my defense, it was an Army plane and I was Air Force.

Jumping out of a plane. Not in this girls life time. I hate the in mid-air feeling.

 

Well I opened my birthday gift from my wife. After a touching card. I opened to find a set of towels. Gee what I always wanted. Didn't even get a Happy Birthday text from her, or either of my sons, yet. Oh, Well it is only another day.

 

. Parts are expected for the furnace today. Not sure when they'll get them installed.

 

Hope you have a better day than I am having.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

It was good although the cops were called out.I work at a gym as a personal trainer,a guy sexually assaulted me.Luckily a couple people that witnessed it got him away from getting worse.Found they are cops that were off duty.A little shaken up.Both were working out.I hope this gets treated as a hate crime too.

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
