Good morning everyone!! I've finished my first cup of coffee and am catching up on the news and things here on the forum. 

 

I hope your doctor's appointment went as expected @KathyLauren

 

I'm still on an emotional high after yesterday afternoon's full-blown reveal with my wife. We sat at our basement bar for a drink together later in the day - both in skirts and sweaters - and talked for almost 2 hours. We had so much fun and agreed to do it on a regular basis.

 

Be safe and enjoy this day!

@April Marie So happy for you.

 

Well the problems in MI keep going. Yesterday we receive a letter from the evidence dept of the Sheriff's dept. They had some valuables that was secured from my brother in laws. US currency. We have 6 months to claim it. Of course, in person.  The wife called the gal she talked to told her that we shouldn't have had the run around we did. She is going to see if they can send the cash. I guess time will tell. 

 

Work has been about the same favoritism excels there.  While I get to make the delivery while the 2 buddies of the commercial  guy gets to stay around BS. Oh, well. I am out on the road listening to the radio.

 

Hugs,

Thank you @KymmieL Even my morning workout didn't wipe the smile off my face.

 

I hope that they are able to send the money instead of you having to make another trip. It certainly seems counter-productive to have you spend money to claim money.

 

I've got my AirPods in and listening to a random mix of music. Up now? Who Can It Be Now? By Men at work. Or with the men at your work place, Men (Not) at Work. 

 

Stay strong, sweetie! Our thoughts are with you.

On the upside, maybe we can manage to see each other if you have to come back.

Good morning everyone,

 

It's another unusually warm March day here in Central Indiana. I'm putting on the Lumber-Jane duty, and safety gear to finish taking down the large Sugar Maple in the back yard. Because it's in the Northeast corner of the yard, it doesn't shade the yard, but it drops all the helicopter seeds, and leafs in the yard for me to rake. I'm to old for that! I have a 16' extension ladder that allowed me to fell/trim three smaller shoots of the tree. My son is bringing over his 28' extension ladder this afternoon, so I can reach higher up, and drop the top sections in a manor that they won't damage shared fencing between my neighbor's yard, and mine. Two weeks ago when I dropped the first sections of the tree, my neighbor said she watched from her kitchen window hoping and praying I didn't hurt myself. I said she was probably video tapping me, saying this is going to go viral... She laughed and said no, no, it was for insurance purposes only.

 

Hugs,

@Jackie C. Well we are looking later in the summer to go back. My wife wants to go to our property(now) up by Mio. and spread her families ashes. Maybe then we can. I am still waiting on a date for our 40th reunion. While we were in MI. she suggested that I fly. Just me.  IMHO, that would be fantastic. Then Kymmie would make an appearance in MI.  And I so would rent a convertible. :P

 

Hugs

Good morning everyone. Early morning duties are done and my first cup of coffee is making its way into my system. Time to read the paper...and then head back to bed for an hour or so before starting the day for real. House cleaning day for us.

 

Anyone have any exciting plans for the weekend?

Congratulations, Heather, about the sentencing. 50 years isn't enough, imho, but it sure looks like the judge threw the book at this creep. I'm glad for you and your brother.

Oh, Heatherd. I am so happy for you, and that this creep is off the street.

 

Getting used to my new position. Now I don't have to answer phones or deal with customers. Now just hand my part off and I am out of there.

 

My wife lost her Uncle yesterday. After a 10 yr battle with the big C.

 

Everything is going good. Been able and remembered to change my E patches. I am going to try and keep regular. Is that sounding to girlie, great. LOL

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

Friday morning

 

We’ve  had a rough week.  An unplanned trip to Charleston to see a doctor.  And a couple of other things, I’m not ready to share, but I will when I know more.  So we are taking a lazy day at home.

 

I need to make bread today.  Each time I make it I learn another trick.  And I can tell you, temperature during kneeling and rise make a huge difference with the yeast.  Too cold, it doesn’t activate to warm kills it.  Sealing the top of the loaf before the final rise is the latest.  I wonder what I’ll learn today.  I do know I need different bread pans but I haven’t shopped for them yet.  The closest kitchen store is 20 miles from here although there is a bed bath and beyond just 6miles.  They just don’t always have the best price and quality combinations.

 

after I got my Endocrinologist to make this most recent change to my estradiol I feel much better.  Hot flashes are gone.  Migraines are all but gone.  Too early to know if I am going to see any body changes, and I don’t know my levels yet.  But for once he has given me a specific day of the week to get my blood drawn.  All so he can match the level to my cycle.  It will better reflect my average.

 

Have a good day

Excellent news.  I'm not surprised that he had a prior record.  The guy who hurt me also had a prior misdemeanor violence charge.  

 

Hopefully 50 years will keep him away.  Since he's got a previous record, he won't be eligible for parole for a very long time, if ever.  People like that tend to mess up their parole chances by getting into more trouble inside prison.

Good morning, everyone! I've been sitting here reading and drinking coffee - if you enjoy reading I recommend The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai - and realized I'd forgotten to check in here. Ugly weather here with snow, sleet, rain, wind. Yuk.

 

I hope next week is a better one for you @Willow and that everything turns out OK. I'm glad that your endocrinologist is listening to your input and making the necessary changes to the dosage level. Sending you good thoughts!!

 

I think today will be another good day to get a fire going and just sit and read. 

 

Stay safe and warm.

Good morning all y’all.  
 

Someone was saying that y’all is singular and all y’all is plural.  Not too sure about that but hey! I grew up a Yankee what do I know.

 

So yesterday I indicated that I had some pending news.  I believe I can tell you now, I have a part-time job offer.  Yes a real one not a scam on the internet.  It would be 6 hours a day, most every weekend 4 or 5 days a week.  I can see the place from here as it is just across the highway.  Nothing glamorous but it will put some money in the bank so that I can get ahead.  Let’s face it, social security doesn’t keep up with inflation.  Dress code is easy, black or blue denim no holes and a T-shirt, comfortable shoes that cover toes and heels.  Some lifting but nothing outrageous.

 

Yet another beautiful day here.  73 a few cirrus clouds.  Ocean temperature is about 60 so I suppose to some of you it’s time to start going to the beach.  To me it’s got a ways to go for that.

Out here, 60s can be shorts weather for some. Not this girl. But I am cold blooded. I can sit in front of the heat vent for hours. Just enjoying the warmth. To bad our house has the vents on the ceiling.

 

Hugs, All

      I just want to mention, where I live there are tons of cis guys your height or shorter. Among them is my dad and one of my professors (who are well over 17 y/o lol), and I honestly don't think twice about it. Every time I go to the grocery store I see at least 4 different guys around that height too. I don't think your height will be an issue towards passing long-term. (Well, maybe it's different in your region, but just wanted to throw in my 2 cents.)   I can relate to the hands thing though. If I ever hold something in front of the camera to take a photo of it, I feel like I have to crop my hands out so they don't "out" me. (I admit that that's silly.)

      I noticed something like this too once I socially transitioned. I am so accustomed to people referring to me as a guy and using the right name, that socially I feel fine most of the time. This just makes me more aware of how physically uncomfortable I get sometimes.

      I have wondered how basic training is for transgender recruits?   Kymmie 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Some of them are us.  I view while logged out sometimes.  But I also know that so much of this forum is public.  I really wish more areas were "members only."  I'm aware that stuff I post here is publicly viewable, so I never post last names, first names of other people, pictures, or give my location.  I tend to think my husband and GF would be displeased at the few things I do post here.... and they may be right.   Our times are pretty uncertain, and it seems to be "fox hunting season" out there.

      On May 4, the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles did a whole 90 minutes of music that was all written by Trans composers and all of our singers and musicians were Trans / NB.  Several of the pieces were actually written by our chorus members.  (I was running a $3,500 set of video cameras on the show and am editing the the massive gigabytes they put out today. We had several guest artists either on stage or who contributed material.  One of the artists was Wrabel who wrote the song The Village which he has dedicated to the Trans Community and describes a young Trans child and the problems they had in their village.  The other MAJOR Trans Artist was Jennifer Leitham, a Bass Viol and Bass Guitar player who as a young man played with the Big Bands of the 60's and 70's in her male self into Transition, and wrote an autobiographical song entitled Manhood which tells of her love of the men she played with in the bands but her not really fitting as a man. Jennifer has played with the Chorus before and is always good music fun to have around.  Two of our members collaborated on a music and poetry piece simply entitled "I'll - - " which brought some tears with a promise to Trans Young People with the whole chorus shouting "I'll be there for you, I will be there for you" said for Trans Kids.  (We actually had a few Trans kids in the audience to hear it.)  My video editing program has about 40 minutes to go producing the main body of the edited video which has the actual song clips in the right order.  Next to put in the Title slides and the credits.  The stuff I get myself into.   The concert took place at the Renberg Theater which is part of the Los Angeles LGB Center in Hollywood.

      Hi, I'm Felix a little trans guy from a small town. My pronouns are he/they and I enjoy music and all wildlife, I doodle on all my homework assignments. I really don't know what to say but, my favourite animal is a cow, my favourite musical genre is country, I play electric bass & acoustic guitar as well as the ukulele a little bit of piano and drums (hand drums and drum sets). I like things of all sorts and I like food, a lot. My favourite meal is French fries and a good steak. My Personal Record for dead-lifting is 310 lbs and I like to sprint and play basketball. My mum's a "bit" overbearing but what can you do. I love reading Manga, I'm currently reading Assassination Classroom, I also enjoy reading Stephen King. I plan on joining the Marines after high school and become a k-9 handler.  I think that's all. For now :)

      I didn't use makeup even in my girl form.  And certainly not now in my boy form.  I don't even like sunscreen...it just feels greasy.  I've always disliked putting stuff on myself.  Partly because of the physical feeling, and partly because I don't want to pretend to anybody.    My partners are mostly the same...makeup isn't really a thing for our faith.  But my GF and husband have one particular vanity - covering up gray hair.  IDK if I will feel differently when I start getting some of my own, eventually.
    • Jet McCartney
      I'm ftm but I still wear makeup on occasion to cover up my rosacea. Just primer and sunscreen usually. Sometimes I'll fill in my eyebrows too

      I think some of "them" are just us. If I log out, I might come in and putter around the forums for a minute before I commit to logging in and reading or participating. That probably shows as a guest visit.

      I have the Pierre by New York Toy Collective, I think I bought it from a different online store but it is that brand. The size recommendations will say that the four-inch shaft (the small Pierre) is for people 5' tall and under. I am 5'8" and it is fine for me. The larger (regular) Pierre shaft size is way too big to wear regularly, but it is a great packer to have around for gender affirming play at home. So even if you are taller than 5', if you aren't sure and you want something easy to wear, go with the small. It is a silicone packer.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Yes, resilient, for sure.  Ours were elementary/middle school age when their father died.  The girl took it really hard, losing her father.  My husband has been there as friend, counselor, and stepfather.  He was a dear friend of their father, and he has put in a lot of effort to raise them.  The eldest son is now his secretary, aide, and driver at work.   Since I'm young-ish and not their primary parent(s), I have the role of being an older friend to them.  They don't seem to have any issues with my gender.  I'm just Jen, and everybody knows that Jen is a little different.

      If you're looking for a millennial female who might be interested, maybe contact Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Y'all might have some things in common, and I think she and her partner are doing the "childless" thing.      Interesting that your wife did concrete work.  My GF spent some time laying concrete for her own projects....while 6 months pregnant.   She's a very stubborn girl.  Probably the exact opposite of the millennial female you're looking for, since she's a mother of 5 (and wished she could have more.)  Interesting how folks can have similar origins, but come to opposite conclusions.  My GF grew up in dire poverty, stealing to eat and take care of her little sister.  As a young adult, she spent several years living in a commune, and was a member of an armed communist political movement.  Now she's probably the most fervent anti-leftist, anti-government person you could ever find.  Experiences really shape who we are.    The lesson I draw from this is that globalism is not the right solution, and even the USA is too large a nation for everybody to agree.  Time to downsize voluntarily, before a civil war does it for us.  Some folks suggest that the USA could become between 4 and 7 different nations.  The way the world is going, I suspect you'll get your "depopulation" wish....but it will come about through war, plagues, and famine.

      I made apple pies, since we have apple trees here.  A classic, simple recipe, everything made from scratch.  We can make just about any kind of pie here - pecan, apple, pear, peach, blackberry....    I think the 6-burner stove came from an old diner.  So, technically a restaurant stove, just a small one.  It probably came from an auction, as my partner usually has an eye for deals.    This stove has 8 burners:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-48-in-4-32-cu-ft-2-26-cu-ft-Steam-cleaning-Double-Oven-Convection-Gas-Range-Stainless-steel/1003096398?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-1003096398-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYASABEgI9tvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   This one is the one I would love to have...it has 10:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-Galiano-Gold-Professional-60-inch-Freestanding-Gas-Range/5013821825?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-5013821825-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYDSABEgIt__D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
