@Mmindy I'm glad that we don't have crickets and grasshoppers.  Pests. We keep the grass mowed short, but we don't use pesticides since we try to have everything as organic as possible.  The cats practically eat their weight in insects, which is helpful.  They also.....ummm.... fertilize. 😆

I think Pauxatauny Phil’s prediction finally hit here.  Cold last night and freeze warning for tonight.  At least it is supposed to warm up again after the next freight train of bad weather roars through.

 

I know the Californians have had more than enough snow and rain.  They filled many reservoirs to overflow and they are trying to force water back into the aquafure (I know that’s spelled wrong). Seems like nature isn’t always very kind to California.

 

I hope there is enough rain and snowpack along the Colorado River basin to replenish the Hoover dam.

 

Wow @Mmindy two buckets-o-brew in one day.  How did you manage (tattoos (not what I typed)) to get anything straight?  With that much caffeine I’d be shaking like an earthquake.

Darn it. I fly into Boston that day, but I do not get there until 2 pm. Boston is a great town and Massachusetts is a good state to live in if you are trans.

Ah, too bad,  @Katie23. Welcome to town in any case. When I moved here back in 1973 it was not for its trans-friendliness. But glad I'm here now. I guess we can just keep planting the seeds of truth when we protest and trust they'll grow. Have a great trip. — Davie

Good afternoon, everyone!! I feel as if I've finally beaten back the depression that just overwhelmed me last week and am in a good place now. Focused on taking joy from every day and expanding my confidence. Bear with me, please!

Good afternoon everyone,

 

I have a friend in the San Fransisco, CA area, and when he comes to our annual trout fishing trip, he complains about the water conservation protocols he has to comply with. He brags about not shoveling snow. Well this year while he was at trout camp his wife sent him pictures of the snow capped mountains that she could see from their porch. He said that in the 20 years he's lived there, there was never any snow in the lower elevations. I've always contended that the weather is cyclical and while short term forecasting is better than ever. Long term forecasting is just a guess. I hope the reservoirs do fill back up, but I don't know how successful they'll be at filling the aquifers. Lake Mead should see some water level rise because of the snowfall, although I read an article that they may hold most of the snow melt in Lake Powell. I hope this guy is correct: “For the West in general, this year has been really great,” said Paul Miller, service coordination hydrologist with the National Weather Service’s Colorado Basin River Forecast Center in Salt Lake City. “This is probably the wettest year we’ve had since 2011.”  Las Vegas News  

 

It is devastating to see the property damage from the flooding. While on the other hand cheering for Mother Nature to return water levels to their historical normal levels.

 

Hugs,

Good morning, everyone! It feels so good to be beyond the depression of last week and enjoying life again. My wife and I spent the evening watching The Quiet Man with Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne - a classic that we both love. Every time we watch it, we catch something new...even though we can pretty much quote the dialogue at this point. Of course, we enjoyed a little Jameson Irish Whisky while we watched.

 

A quiet day for me except that I've got my therapy session in a bit. I always look forward to that.

 

Be safe and warm...and loved.

Well, I am just wait till my wife says something to me. She got home from Lincoln. Never got a text from her that she was leaving. Only one was when she stopped for fuel. I had to ask my son when she left. No notification that she got home. I guess I found out about it myself. She said maybe 5-6 words to me last night then after I went to bed either her or our youngest closes our bedroom door all the way.

 

So far she hasn't said anything to me today. She made a comment on why the cat was closed in the laundry room. other than that nothing. I am waiting. It is getting harder to live with her with her ignoring me all the time. I am getting close to snapping.

Good morning

 

ive had my first cup-o-Joe.  Also my breakfast.  I soon need to get ready for my first day of employment in 7 years.  Certification for alcohol sales and food handler are complete and don’t expire for a couple years.  Who knew convenience store workers were food handlers.  I never gave that a thought.  
 

Anybody know a good safe cure for a dog with fleas?  One that really works?  She’s been bathed several time followed by a very tight spaced shedding come. That removes them from fur and skin.  Then I’ve tried twice putting liquid flea medicine between her shoulder blades and now I’ve added a flea collar.  I guess she keeps getting reinfected because I have limited areas to take her and I expect the wild geese are the original source.  No I can’t afford the $200 programs sold by pet stores or Chewy.com.

 

gotta go get ready

 

i can’t be late my first day.

Best practice is a Frontline regimen once a month. Your dog will be flea-free in a couple of months.

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

I'm on my second cup of coffee, and slept well last nigh. I didn't sleep well Tuesday night for several reasons. I've been stressing over a couple of build deadlines that I have to meet in the shop. Compound that with getting three shots at the doctors office: Tetanus, Pneumococcal 20, and my second Shingles vaccine that really made my arms hurt. Then one of my fabricators informs me that they're missing two very important pressure relief valves for the build they are working on. This is a prop that I know the least about, so part number, and descriptions on an invoice don't make me comfortable. Now I'm questioning if I ordered them? How long will it take to get them? Did I get them, but misplace them in my shop? Which bin would I have placed them in? Going out into the shop, and looking for them would make to much noise and wake Suzie up. So I thought I would just take two ibuprofen, and a sleep it off. Well that didn't happen. So yesterday was a real drag, until my vendor e-mailed me stating that the valves I was shorted had been shipped. Then apologized for not marking them as back ordered. 

 

Today is going to be a GREAT DAY! I don't care what happens.

 

Hugs,

Add very frequent vacuuming if you have rugs or carpeting. Adding the vacuuming to whatever else we did was what finally worked for us each year.

Good luck on your first day at work!

First day started with some additional training videos.  Then following another employee and ringing up some sales.  I find their point of sales system has a lot going on click here for this and there for that then finding a place on the screen that confirms what you’ve done so far.  It doesn’t help matters that it is the highest volume site in the area.  I expect to get faster just as soon as I can figure out where things are on the screen and follow the touch here first then there and get the screen better memorized.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.
