OMG! @heatherdI;m glad you're okay. No one deserves what you went through. You're very brave to prosecute them.

I meet up with the prosecutor on Friday.Found out he is going to charge him with a hate crime too once he gets the evidence.The sexual assault charge is not enough and I agree with him 100%

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 yourpants on.

For men, maybe.  As a general rule, I've never found the "fun without pants on" to be anything special or memorable.  I'd never describe any of my skydiving habit in that way.  Every time someone makes me think about skydiving I want to get back into it, so many wonderful memories.
I also did CRW (Canopy Relative Work), where people join up canopies and sometimes land in formation.  It's something very few skydivers do - too scary/risky for most of them.

Likewise about how "fun without pants." For me, it was always the sense of awe that I got when the canopy opened and I was floating above, looking down at God's creation and just how beautiful it is. I have also done limited CRW. I must confess that I did not particularly enjoy it--for the reasons you mention. I have done HALO and HAHO jumping and loved them both.

Good for you and good for the prosecutor. You're right about the sexual assault charge not being enough. Stay strong.

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.

 

So it's not just me. Lovely to meet another trainer.

 

I've heard of this happening. Hasn't happened to me fortunately, but I'm sorry you had to deal with it. Worst we've had at work was a fight on the basketball court over who had the most testosterone or something.

 

Big hugs!

That's good, and taking a few days off to wrap your head around what you went through is a good idea.

Hi, all my health testing is done for this year.

 

I had my first mammogram, that was interesting.  The tech was very nice handled things with care.  She said I would be able to see the scans in a week or so.  Holidays and all.

 

Same tech also did my bone scan.  She didn’t say why but she added an extra scan.  Then offered the same timing “unless the doctor called me sooner”.  She didn’t explain and I figured she would have said more if there was a concern but I have to admit I thought it odd.  
 

I guess I’ll know soon enough.

Good Friday Morning 

 

it has become windy with occasional clouds.  The temperature has not started dropping but it will.  Single digit windchill possible.  So I guess next months electric bill will be high.  
 

@heatherd that’s great about your niece.  My granddaughters are similarly accepting.  I just received a birthday present (a piano learning book) addressed in big bold letters to Willow.  I was very appreciative of that.  
 

I plan on baking today.  A loaf of bread and some cookies.

 

at my appointments yesterday my wife was referred to as my significant other.  I didn’t bother to correct that, where as I did tell people starting with the registration person my preferred name.  Since they have to deal in legal names I knew I would get dead named, even though it’s all over my medical records, preferred name is.  I’ve learned to just let it go as much as possible.  It is my choice not to change it so I need to accept the consequences.

 

Stay warm and go easy on the snow shoveling.  I don’t want to read about any slip and falls or worse.

 

Hugs

Well, we're officially having a white Christmas this year.  That happens maybe once every 10 years in my part of the South.  The snow isn't deep, but it was SO COLD.  The kids went out to play in it, and came back after 5 minutes.  We all have to spend more time taking care of the animals and bringing them warm water.  One silly cat had newborn kittens in October.  Normally they'd stay in the barn because they're half feral, but this weekend we have a big cage with some very messy, very noisy, very un-housebroken cats indoors.  

 

Our thermometer recorded -10 F last night.  We had -15 a couple of years ago, but that was in January.  Usually December is warm, and we still had roses blooming one Christmas a few years back.  And diesel engines... almost impossible to keep them warm.  My husband has a Humvee on semi-permanent loan from the county.  It has been idling all night.  Hate to waste the fuel, but better than not being able to start it if/when needed.

No snow here, but temperature is dropping.  Calling for 8º tonight.

Snow is rare here too, but does happen.

Good morning everyone, :coffee:

 

Today's ( @KymmieLfence-🥶-meter) in Westfield, IN reads -8°F 30mph winds, and -37°F windchill.

Blowing snow, stings any exposed skin. The bird feeders are very active, and birds of unlike feathers are flocking together. Even the Jeeps in the area are upset with the weather.

May be an image of outdoors and text that says 'When your Jeep is just as upset as you are about the weather'

When I feel cold here, these posts from y"all make me feel just a bit better about the south.

Good morning @Ivy

 

My Suzie, and I are rethinking our forever home here in Westfield, IN, and looking to Tennessee for a new southern home. We still want to experience the four seasons, just not as harsh a Winter as we have here. It's also a bonus that Tennessee doesn't tax our pensions or SSI.

 

Hugs, and Happy Yule

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.   
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".
