Good Evening, one and all.

 

Having a good day enjoying the gorgeous weather. Currently 62 official degrees. Looking at 70 tomorrow and 72 Wed. Have been able to work on my projects. Did a little on the Explorer. Finally after having the parts for almost 18 months I got the Compressor in the Ranger up and going. Also, got the tweeter pods for the bike painted. Going to get them put on shortly. Now just have to wait for the new amp for the bike. The one I had for the bike wound up being bad. So, to avoid any problems I ordered a new one.

 

Go in for my consult on a replacement tooth tomorrow. I still am waiting to here from my endo on what direction she wants to go with my treatment. My T is down.(yeah) but my E is low she is checking on different options.

 

Have a wonderful rest of your day.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

Good evening 

 

My wife managed to make her connections on her own.  She was somewhat concerned especially when the first flight was an hour late.  Standby numbers and available seats kept changing but she made it.

 

Hectic day at work.  But in the end it went well.

 

Ran the place alone for several periods.  We have a newer than me worker.  He’s earned the behind his back nickname of Stinky.  He tends to take extended smoke breaks.  And for some reason we tend to get busier while he is out.  The last time while he was out my terminal locked up and I wound up having to use his for a while to keep the line moving.  When he finally came back I had him take the line while I attended to my terminal.  I had to shut it down and reboot it.  That takes a couple of minutes to get it back up.  As soon as I could I picked back up my share and before you knew it the line was gone.  
 

I’m off the next two days.  I have laundry and errands to handle.

Good Morning 🌞

 

I have today off work as it's my birthday and always like to have a small break around Easter. I'm taking my son to see the new Dungeons and Dragons movie later.

Good morning, everyone!! Happy Birthday @kira_k! Have a wonderful day!!!

 

1st cup of coffee is working its magic so I'm semi-coherent at this point. Dogs are walked and fed so its time to read the paper. I have some small projects planned for around our property but, otherwise, a normal quiet day.

 

Stay safe and enjoy this day!!

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

Happy Birthday @kira_k enjoy your day at the movies.

 

Today is another day in the shop working on a Damage Control Pipe Leak Tree for Corona, CA Fire Academy. It's an arrangement of various pipes that have common types of plumbing leaks that public safety is called to handle, before a plumbing contractor arrives. It also has plumbing commonly found in chemical handling process, as well as fire department sprinklers. I'll finish it up today, deliver it to our crating company tomorrow, and they will ship it.

 

That leaves Thursday through Sunday for a Camping Trip to Wapakoneta, OH. This is the birthplace of Neil Armstrong and home of the Armstrong Air & Space Museum.

 

Hugs,

Happy Birthday @kira_k

 

@Dillon I hope everything gets better.

 

Well first day back to the grind. At least it is supposed to be nice. 75 forecast. All I get to do is drive around, avoiding the construction. I knew this weather wouldn't last we are expecting white crap on Thurs and Fri. However, I will enjoy the warmth in the mean time.

 

Hope everyone has a great day.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

Oh, I'm sorry, hope your week gets better! I'm personally doing somewhat well, but failing to hand out campaign buttons.

That sounds really interesting. I hope you'll decide to post a photo of this project as well.

Thank you Dillion, attached you'll see the first one I built for a friend, and his department. I never thought I would be building 50 more. Today my business partner called and informed me that the New York State Fire Marshals Office ordered three more.

@ShawnaBI'm glad your brother sees who you are and accepts you. It's great that he was willing to go to family therapy with you.

Good morning, everyone!!! Coffee intake has started, dogs are walked and fed and it's time to read the paper...pretty much my morning routine. I have some projects around the house today - and my therapy session - to keep me busy.

 

I am so happy that your brother has accepted you @ShawnaB!!

 

Life is so very good. 

 

Be safe and enjoy this day.

Yes, life is good. I've got this week off work, we're going out for dinner tomorrow night for a small extended family gathering, the weather is OK, and I have other things to look forward to in the short term as well.

 

@ShawnaB I have also been reading your posts and I am very happy for you!

@MirrabookaI love that we're separated by a Dateline, and Equator, but still share a common experience socially. We're never alone, and gain comfort form kind people around the world. We are a global community.

 

Thank you again @Dillon, and @Ivy you are correct. So much for retirement, at best I'm semiretired. The good thing is I stopped traveling two weeks a month, and now I have time to casually build props.

 

@ShawnaBI'm glad you're able to build family support.

 

@April Marie, I love seeing your postings around the forums, you're such a positive influence.

Thank you.

 

Hugs for everyone,

Thank you, Mindy!! I have so little to offer in terms of experience here - I always try to employ the Triple P. The Power of Positive Pessimism. It might suck, but it can always be worse. 🙂

 

I do take such inspiration from your upbeat approach and encouragement. You've helped me tremendously as I've navigated my way though this new life. Just knowing that I can take my time, transition in ways that make sense and don't have to just leap in full blown has made it much easier to digest, and to enjoy. You are a rock star.

Hi TGPulse Friends, 

 

My flight to CA? Stressful. My flight? Successful. 

(Arrival at the airline airport gate: 

“I'm sorry, your reservation has been cancelled. Would

  you like to book a flight to Kafkaland, instead? It’s positively Kafkaesque!”) 

 

But no problemo—I booked through a separate reality. 

And I’m now forced to deal with a scene such as this 

one below—exacerbated by wind chimes and sunshine. 

Chance for survival? 99%.

Have great and sressless day, all!

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."    
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Been a good day.Cleaned my closet of clothes that I do not wear anymore and do not fit me.It looks better now.Came down to my newest property beside mine,owner passed and I inherited it.There was a double wide there that was removed,it was in bad shape.It is the shop part I am keeping which I got the tools,shop equipment,benches,hoists and shelving too.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
