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

Sorry but the fence o meter died. I think it got too cold. Official temp right now is -8 -25wind chill. with a forecast high of 26.

 

This has been a wonderful season (read sarcastic) yesterday 4am was awaken by the fire alarm. Seems that the control board in the furnace fried, literally. Back to the space heater(s) (borrowed a couple more.) we were using one as a fan to push the heat from the buddy heater around. sometime overnight we ran out of propane.

 

To add to that I haven't done any shopping. Haven't had the $$. However I do have one gift for my wife and one for my youngest.

 

Lastly, my wife was able to finally get her inheritance taken care of. Of course she hasn't told me how much. I do know she was able to pay off the Yukon our middle son has been using. She has clammed up to me again. No surprise there.

 

So right now I just want my furnace working. Of course the furnace company has to order the control board.

 

No wonder I hate Christmas.

 

But I still wish all my family here on TP a Merry Christmas.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

I got a little emotional (happy tears) yesterday, after I had a man (my son in law) greet me with a hug for the first time.  It turned out to the first of many such hugs I got yesterday.  I also got many "you look really pretty" like comments from family and friends.  What a truly wonderful day - sure to be big daily entry in my transition journal.

Good evening

 

according to my wall o meter, the outside temperature has slllooowwwlllyyy dropped all day.  After the sun goes down that should speed up.

 

@KymmieL for many years I too have been very unhappy at the Christmas holiday.  I’ve always thought it was because of issues with my family.  Now, I think maybe it had more to do with not being happy with myself.  Whatever the real reason, I am not as depressed anymore.

 

in many respects this should be my third worst Christmas ever but I don’t feel all that bad.

So happy to hear that!  It is so nice to hear that family and friends treat someone right.  You deserve those happy tears.

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

The Arctic air is still hanging around here in central Indiana.🥶 It's -1°F the winds are sustained 18mph out of the Northwest, and the windchill is -22°F. Filling my bird feeders is the only reason I have to be outside. Every bird is puffed up to fully insulate themselves against the cold. When they're not feeding they're clinging to the leeward side of the trees, and bird feeders.

 

The coffee is HOT, black, and strong. Later the mulled apple cider aka wassail will have an adult beverage flair to it. I hope everyone is able to see, and feel the love that these holidays are meant to bring. If you are not able to be with family, I hope you've found non-blood family and friends to be with.

 

Hugs,

Merry Christmas and happy new year everyone.  
 

today is the coldest day here since I moved here.  Wall o meter says 18.  Nothing compared to many of you especially not @KymmieL  I was once without heat.  I used a kerosene heater placed near my return air and ran the fan to distribute the heat throughout the house. Better than spot heaters and safer too.  But make sure you have a CO detector.  

love to all

Morning all my friends. Temporary fence o meter the official weather station at the airport. About a mile and a half as the crow flies west of us. 25deg forecast for 36. Heat wave time to break out the skirts.

 

So buck up little campers in the east. Warmer weather is coming, maybe? LOL.

 

As for the seasonal love. I feel some but not much. Maybe its just me and my depression talking I don't know. I'll try and feel it more.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

 

Be back later.

Merry Christmas to all.   My grandchildren were opening presents at about 0600 this morning.  Christmas is so much better when surrounded by the excitement of children.

I'm afraid that for me it's going to be a Christmas spent by myself.  I never received an invite to the family dinner.  I guess being trans was one step over the line.  I wish it were otherwise since my mother is 95 and this may be her last Christmas.

That's got to be rough.  Christmas definitely shows who's "in" and who's "out" in a family...and being trans seems to be the easiest way to be out these days.  My sister and I haven't had Christmas with my parents for several years.  My friend is spending Christmas with my family...her family didn't want her around even for the holidays. 

 

Our controversial guest this year is my GF's sister...and her girlfriend...who was her cellmate in prison.  Yep.  While I believe in changing lives and forgiveness and all that, I'm still a bit weirded out.  But my GF adores her sister in spite of what happened between them, and is happy she's able to share the holiday after 3 years away.  I will do my best to be friendly.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Here on the coast of Ecuador, we aren't dealing with the sub zero temperatures like my friends and family back in NC.  In fact, it will be a lovely and sunny 82F today.

Like many, I'm being frozen out of family stuff on my side.   My wife's side is totally ok with everything and chill.   Guess you can't have everything!!

Merry Christmas to all!  And to all a blessed Christmas morning!

 

Though it may be a sad day to many, make the best of it be with whomever is part of your Day.

 

Sadly, I get not being invited to Christmas.  We haven’t been a part of our daughter’s Christmas for a couple years now.  Our son’s wife has invited us, but that just isn’t possible as we are on the Atlantic and they the Pacific.

 

Enjoy your Christmas with whomever is around you.  Be close to them for they are real.

 

hugs and love to all

We just had a nice FaceTime with our daughter and granddaughters.  We just happened to catch them at the right time.  Now the girls are headed to their dad’s home.  He lives a few miles away on his parents farm with his other family.

 

our daughter mentioned a hidden present here for us.  That was nice, but now we have a treasure hunt.  Things are improving between us and it isn’t about me, it’s that she gets upset when we are at her house believing that we are too critical.  She is sole support so can’t always keep everything just so.  We try to help her when we are there but she takes that as we don’t approve.  Last time we were there I was in a terrible depression so we got asked to leave and not come back.  I think things are getting better but we aren’t there yet.

To everyone you are all my friends

 

Rather than miss someone, instead of individually responding or wishing each of you individually, accept that our circle is growing each and every day.  That is one of the many things I feel blessed about with this forum.

 

I read all your posts and you all deserve my care, concern and love 💕 but I can’t always keep up.

 

please know that I am with you all each and everyday.  That I care about your pain and your triumphs.

 

Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

 

your friend in all ways

 

Willow

      Our government is huge and could, and probably should, be streamlined. But we are living in 2024, and not the late 18th century.  The founders did provide for updating the Sacred Constitution.  And it has been done on occasion.   There is a lot going on, and I don't want to be a single issue voter.  But I feel that it is being forced on me as a matter of my survival.

      Many women my age wear their hair super-short, and I don't really have a need to have it long.  Longer in places where I can't grow it, if it is long  No aspirations to be a supermodel here.  The mustache would have to go before the wig comes if I ever did that.  I am threading a narrow path.

      Not all evangelicals condemn people for being trans.  Some evangelicals are even trans.   He can pray for you all he wants, that is fine.  I will personally take all the prayer I can get.   It sounds like he has been reading or listening to John McArthur or the SBC.  Not much you can do. Pray for him.

      It'll come in waves with hormones. I have noticed that when I apply a fresh patch and the next day comes I feel euphoric and towards the end I feel really bad and dysphoria kicks in. I still feel body dysmorphia of what I have and can't wait till SRS

      One month here. Huh.
    • Vidanjali
      "entries from “citizens who have changed their gender” will not be considered"   Considering that trans people don't "change their gender" but rather may or may not transition to some extent to affirm their gender, this rule seems superfluous.

      They make supplements for hair growth I have been using one for four months and it is now at 6" long when I had nothing before. Although I take more than the pills. I take growth spray, oil, and a supplement that is added to a drink. My hair is very healthy. Unfortunately it's very curly so it'll take longer to grow

      That's a toughy to say. But I do know that it's an area for improvement with me. I can get pretty down on myself sometimes. I guess I have to remember that I'm human just like everyone else, not perfect. And that's okay.   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾🪻

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow

      I have the problem, that I see myself at 3 maybe 4 on the list. I don't have the self love that I should have.   What does it mean to you?   Kymmie
