today, I will be baking bread and maybe some cinnamon rolls.  Good day for that.

Oooh, I am so jealous. Our oven died at Thanksgiving. It is a combo wall oven, warming drawer, microwave unit in a custom cabinet. Of course, no one makes one like it anymore so we finally were able to order an oven/microwave combo and a warming drawer from a different manufacturer. Ordered the oven in December...just told it has been pushed back to an April 5 delivery timeframe. We have the warming drawer here.

 

Last night, the microwave component died - started sparking/arcing so I shut the power off to the whole unit at the breaker box. 

 

Lynn loves to bake and cook so it's been a struggle - lots of salads and things we can make in a crock pot or pressure cooker or on the stove.  In a pinch, she takes everything to her mother's and uses her oven.

 

Enjoy the day!!

 

April

@April Marie I don’t bake bread in it but we have a Cousinart combo Unit bake, broil, toast and air fry.  Bread is hard enough to get right without using a little oven but we use that for nearly everything else.  I suppose I could use it one loaf at a time but today, I’m making two.  And I have a working oven.  Sorry, it’s taking you so long to get.  When we bought our condo there was no refrigerator and we needed a new washer and dryer.  We had to change brands and or models to get one when we needed it.

 

Good luck

Well my wife has been a PITA. Me and my son have gotten a clean out service that will be coming in tomorrow to help clear out the house. At first she refused wouldn't even listen to reason. Then after talking to my mom she relented. But she went back to do some more, Then again it will be cheaper if we already have stuff in bags.

 

I am wondering if my brother in law was either transgender or a CD. In one of the bedrooms. There is bras and panties, womans clothing. In the bathroom there is makeup and makeup remover wipes. There was a few pairs of heels in different parts of the house. My mother in law passed in 2004.

 

I guess we will never know.

Oh, my. We all have secrets in our lives. Sorry that you're going through this - it certainly is filled with stress and emotion.

Good morning everyone!!! I can't believe I slept until almost 4 this morning - a rarity for me anymore. No sign of the black bear this morning when I walked the dogs...but the deer clean out one of our bird feeders nightly. On the good side, I can sit here looking out my den window and it's like watching The Nature Channel. every day.

 

Enjoy the day, be safe and give yourself a hug. You deserve it.

Good morning! Was out and about yesterday with a walking group (so mostly strangers to me) and was suprised to hear 'she/her' being used about me an hour or two into the walk on a very light makeup day. Then a 'ma'am' at the food truck too, so apparently people who don't know me already are slotting me into the correct category. What's new to me is that this is happening without a mask being on and at least yesterday I didn't get the disheartening 'corrections' that have often followed such moments in the past.

Good morning, having my first cup of coffee... desperately needed. I'm so glad to put this past week behind me in the rear view mirror. It was just one of those weeks for me that seemed like they'd never end...and I'm glad it's over. I hope this week will be a better one. Gonna try to work on cleaning my apartment a little bit today to try to start my week off on a better foot.

Good morning 

 

I've made my first cup, bold and black.

 

I am a little disappointed with my bread.  It really looked right when I put it in the oven. Nicely risen, rounded top.  But when I took it out the top had flattened.  Tastes fine just doesn’t look like I’d expected.  The raisin bread came out pretty Good!  We already ate ½ a loaf.  
 

We’ve been catching up on Netflix.  Broadcast tv has been disappointing.  Seems like the have very few new episodes, everything is a repeat and March Madness hasn’t even begun.  We had started Stranger Things quite a while ago but stopped.  And we started Outlander, but have caught up until the last three seasons come out.  Apparently, another pay cable channel has the exclusive rights for the next three years.  I suppose we’ll have to find another one to enjoy.  We could do an Amazon Prime, anybody got a recommendation?  
 

hugs

The bread sounds delicious! Since the microwave of our combo oven/microwave/warming drawer has now joined the oven in the land of dead appliances...and the new oven/microwave isn't due in until April, we ordered a microwave/convection oven/air fryer combo thru Amazon. So, we'll at least be able to do some light baking soon.

 

Amazon Prime suggestions? The Marvelous Mrs. Maizel. The Expanse (if you like science fiction). Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

The ABC murders maybe if you like mysteries.

 

A lot of things on there end up being paid for.  Which is ok I guess if you are really interested.

Good morning, all!! Another early start for me but we ended up going to bed around 9PM last night and I fell asleep almost immediately so getting 5+ hours seems to be my norm.

 

Sending out good thoughts for @KymmieL today that all goes smoothly.

Yesterday wasn't too bad. We found the keys and title for my brothers cars. The friend across the street bought them. The clean out crew was fantastic. 2 20' trailer loads. Today the deep cleaning crew comes and they are dropping off the trailer to load.

 

Wife is doing OK. Did brunch with her aunt and Uncle. which was nice.

 

Have a good presidents day.

Went to church alone yesterday, my wife wasn’t feeling well.  Was treated with kindness and love.

 

Then last night I went to an online church with almost all new friends.  That one meets just once a month.  I wound up being one of the last to leave.  Also, I agreed to lead the June services.  Now I just need to decide on a topic for my sermon.  I have many to pick from.

 

guess I should be getting ready for my day.  Two doctor appointments today.  One for my wife and one for my.

 

Have a blessed day 

 

Willow

🚲 Yay! After 5 months off because of my back and leg weakness, I finally rode my bike again. That's the longest I haven't ridden in 72 years. Feeling both older and younger right now. Tired but thrilled to flying on wheels again. Just rode around the park a few times—going to work on it gradually, but I'm back and happy. Don't sign me up for the Tour de France just yet. 

Cheers in circles,

Davie

The hotel in Nashville, TN had this Butterfly display made of old 45 records. I looked so cool and you know I have to post Butterflies.

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be? Mine would be music especially classic rock era.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      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
