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.

Good morning everyone,

 

My family is MooreClan from Scotland. On this day we wish you a happy ☘️St. Patty's Day☘️.

You can kiss the Irish, however it's a Scot you'll want to take home.

Amen to that @Mmindy

 

i am mostly clan Stewart of Scotland, but I am also clan McDonald and Young.  However, a bit of the Irish sneaks in there with clan Donovan. My Donovan ancestor left Ireland mid 19th century and there is a castle Donovan.  I don’t know much about my Young ancestors and I know little more about the McDonalds.  But I do know for certain I am Celtic through and through and the all spoke Gaelic at one time.

Aye, clan Moore, clan Stewart, clan McDonald, clan Young and my own--clan Johnstone. Scotland forever! Although, I can claim some Irish since the English kings kept deporting us to Northern Ireland for being too feisty, Makes me want to go read Lochnivar and sing Flower of Scotland.

I am clan MacCallum, clan Gillanders, and a few othgers that i don't remember without digging out my father's genealogy. 

 

But, this being St. Paddy's (not "Patty's") Day, it is a good reminder that I need to mail off my Irish passport application.  I have not a drop of Irish blood in me, and I have never been to the Republic of Ireland, but I am an Irish citizen by right of birth on the island of Ireland.

An Irish passport could be good to have these days.

@KathyLauren I have never looked up the rules on that. I know with certainty that my great grandfather was born in the land of the Blarney Stone and amongst the green hills near the Irish Sea.  But better still, I have proof of my Stewart blood living in Perthshire where they were Earls and Lairds and cousins to the true Kings of Scotland, and descended from the Bruce Kings which takes us back to the 7th or 8th century.  Now where they were before that I have no clue.

 

I plan to drink a shot of Jameson Black in honor of me Irish ancestors.

I settled for a Guinness.

But as much as I love Celtic music, not a drop of Celtic blood.

My thought exactly.  It's good to have an escape plan.  It opens up the whole EU as well.

Mrs has been working on Irish passport for years now. We checked out her grandmother's old house (from the street) in Belfast a few years back (and the great uncle who came to US as well worked on the building of the Titanic). 

 

Still hasn't happened, partly due to covid of course, but also so many bits of the official record don't exist or were sloppily recorded or they just called someone one name but the records show a different name. It always seems to be just a few more steps away.

When my father was researching his ancestry, he found one branch of the family that was minor royalty, meaning that there were royal ancestors all the way back to William I.  I was impressed.  Until I calculated how many ancestors I would have had in 1066 and looked up the population of Britain at that time.  The number of ancestors is considerably larger than the entire population, meaning that it is very likely that anyone with British ancestry is related to William I somehow!  😄

Top o' th' mornin' to you all. I've no Irish or Scottish blood in me - one half is a mix of English, perhaps Welsh, and German. The other half is Finnish - my mother's parents both came from Helsinki. Ok, so I'm half Finnish, or finished, or perhaps to correct term would be Finn. For the few of you who know my last name, Finn would be appropriate.

 

Anyway, lazy day today. Tomorrow may be a banner day, as my older daughter has agreed to meet with me for church in the town where she attends college. I'm hoping it starts a process of reconnecting, acceptance, and understanding.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      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?
