Dropped my landline after mother in law passed. We kept it so she wouldn't need to learn a new number. The great thing about cell phones is that they come with an off button.

Sigh. I use my landline to find my cell. And vice versa.

My daughter is bad for losing hers.  She uses mine to find it.

 

I don't do TV either.  It does freak a lot of people out.  I get internet and phone from spectrum, but they're separate accounts.  It's kinda dumb I guess.

Hi, I got off at 2:30.  When I got home, which takes me 3 minutes plus or minus 1 waiting on a traffic light, I changed and went to the pool.  Won’t be doing that tomorrow, I’m on the noon to 8 shift and it’s supposed to be raining.  Sunday morning will be chilly with improving and warmer each day next week.  
 

We had a some unpleasant people today.  We are having an unknown intermittent issue with premium gas. I had a customer complain she couldn’t get the pump to work.  I asked which grade of gas, she answered regular gas.  Had to move to a different pump. Still wouldn’t work and she’s angry, and getting angrier as she thinks I’m cheating her.  Finally we figure out in spite of her statement to the contrary she is trying to pump mid-grade.  So all I can do is refund her prepayment.  She left in a huff.  Little while later a man comes in cussing up a storm because someone outside did something he didn’t like, though he was nice to us.  Then the last straw was someone came in and wanted a fountain coke.  And it wasn’t working.  I checked it and the syrup had run out so I proceed to change the syrup but I can’t find a fresh one.  Took a while but we found it, I changed it and we were back in business.  Meanwhile, he got mad because he couldn’t buy the fuel he wanted.  Yelling and asking for the manager who left an hour earlier, then demanded her phone number and finally insisted she call him.  Uh huh, sure.  Took his name and number then when he was gone the shift lead tore it up.  The managers last day is next Friday and she has already checked out.  

 

The cold front has come through.  Boy what a temperature drop.

I don't understand why, but people always need someone to blame.  Life just doesn't always work out the way you want.  I think sometimes the best approach is just throw up your hands, maybe say a few bad words, and shake your head.   Time to move on to the next debacle.

 

At times life is just a farce.  You gotta appreciate the humor.  Murphy's Law is real.

Good morning everyone!!! The cold weather is back here again for a few days but next week looks very promising. No big plans for the Easter weekend.

 

It seems as if people are just worn out mentally - suffering a constant barrage of negativity, of complaints, of hurt, of problems and issues. As @Ivy said - and @Willow noted from her experiences yesterday - people have to find someone to blame for every little problem in their lives. We have stopped teaching our children to have mental toughness, to be able to face challenges and adversity and move on with life. It began with the Everyone Gets a Trophy generation and has just gotten worse.

 

We all face challenges and hardships. Sometimes life sucks...for everyone. So, it's not what happens to us that defines who we are but what we do in response to the challenges. That things go wrong is a given. How we respond is our personal choice.

 

Ok, I've gotten that off my chest. I've already read the paper and finished my 3rd cup of coffee. Rant over.

 

Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day. Find the goodness in it - no matter what's happening, there is always something good if you look for it.

Good morning 

 

boy it was nice to sleep in. Down side we are out of coffee!OUT OF COFFEE!  How could that happen.  Where is the manager?  I want to yell at her.  Oh! That would be me.  lol.  I gave my wife the last pod and I tried making a cup using a universal pod and ground coffee.  Yuk! I don’t recommend this.  Top priority, get some coffee pods!

 

the rain was a bit late but heaven is crying over the death of Jesus.  That’s how my mother put it.  It was always supposed to rain Good Friday afternoon.

 

Happy Easter everyone.

 

love and hugs to all

 

Willow

I also get that he is an adult, and once we get past this landmark birthday celebration, I'm going to have to let him know that I won't be dressing down for him anymore. 

I totally understand the mixed feelings about your children growing up, and becoming young adults. There comes a time when you no longer have control over them, you just hope they see you as an influence for good. They never had control over you, and it's time for Hannah to ease into the family.

 

Hugs, as you get through this afternoon, and evening.

Good morning and Happy Easter, everyone!!!

 

I'm glad that your son's birthday celebration went well @Hannah Renee. And, there's no reason for you to feel guilty about your emotions. It's wholly understandable that you feel that way and I hope that your son will grow to accept you as you are now that he's getting older. 

 

On to cup #2 for me. Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day!

It went well, though very expensive, but it was an important celebration.

 

Life teaches us that we never stop being parents and that our children never stop expecting us to be so.

 

Until they mature, they also expect us to forever be the same people as who they knew growing up. Little do they understand that we have always been who we are, but masked it for them to think that we were 'normal'. 

 

Hugs to you Hannah. You went through a tough time with the lunch, but here you are. Hang in there.

 

Happy Easter, everyone.

Our own evolution and growth doesn't stop simply because we become parents.  In fact, that is just another experience that contributes to it.  And then, when they are grown, it moves into a new phase.  I'm not sure we ever stop growing until the grave, and perhaps it doesn't stop there either.

Amen to that. I think we die, inside at least, if we decide to stop growing, learning, becoming.

Happy Easter,

 

I’ll have a photo update later.

 

yesterday was an up and down day.  I had a young woman specifically come to me to enquirer about feminine products.  I pointed them out and she then returned to my register to purchase.  I made certain to handle it discreetly and bagged everything for her,  (normal is to ask if they wanted it bagged). I had an older woman who came to me right after I was given a hard time by a 20 something.  She perked me back up with pleasant words and kindness.  Last but the highlight, a couple came in she wanted a Snickers bar. The husband/boyfriend? Pointed to candy right in front of her.  I don’t want register candy I want it from the candy isle.  He returned with her Snickers.  When I gave her her $10 in change, HE put out his hand,  she said to him, what do you want?  He says the $10.  She looks at him and finally says, well, I guess you earned it last night and gave it to him.  He’s all embarrassed she’s smiling and as the walk away I said thank you, you just made my day and we all laughed.

Good morning everyone, Happy Easter to those who celebrate.

 

For me He has risen, and I know that He walks with me.

 

This is the first two day weekend for me in a long time. It started out BOLD, however today I feel that I've lost my B.

 

Hugs,

Read the paper? What a novel idea @April Marie

 

Good morning y’all

 

i have to take my wife to the airport on my way to work this morning.  She is going out west to see our son.  I could be challenging.  She’s flying standby.  
 

I’ll be on my own with the dog for a week.  Speaking of whom I need to take her out.  After I put my makeup on.

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

I had my coffee earlier, then I went to the Big Box Plumbing Supply for several hundred dollars of sch-40 pipe. I need to finish up this current Pipe Leak Tree and have it ready to ship to Corona, CA. Oh now that I'm back home I get a text that the pharmacy has meds. ready for pick up. So I'll be going back out later.

 

Hugs,

I decided to drop our recycling off at the local center - no pickup out here where we live. So, I loaded the truck and headed out - stopped by the car wash on the way back to get the worst of the spring mud off the truck. Now that it's warming up I can get the pressure washer out and really spend some time cleaning it up.

 

No big plans for the rest of the day.

The snow is almost all gone now, except where there had been big drifts.  The buds are starting to swell on the peach trees, which means it is time to spray them with sulfur and dormant oil.  I suited up in a heavy rubber rain suit, with boots, nitrile gloves, mask and goggles and gave them their first stinky spraying.  I'll have to do it again in two weeks.

 

The spray isn't toxic, in fact, it is considered organic, but it smells like you'd expect sulfur to smell.  When I was done, I stripped off the outer gear outdoors and hosed it all off.  I don't smell too bad indoors.  😵

I think I need a second cup ... still dealing with morning even though it's after 12. LOL

      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

      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!

      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.

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.
    • KatieSC
      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.
