Good morning everyone. This morning it's iced coffee. I have a carton of rice milk that I have to use up. I make the coffee strong, but only about an inch of it in the mug. Then I add ice and the rice milk and sugar.

@awkward-yet-sweetI'm glad your ankle is starting to heal. @IvyWhat a shock to find out your insurance was canceled. I'm glad things worked out in the end but it's wrong about the system that the insurance company doesn't take the legal blame for it. @Mirrabookawhat a wonderfully affirming hair experience. I love the joy!

@rachel w I'm so sorry for your loss. I couldn't imagine what you are going through. The only thing I can relate to is that I lost some brothers in arms while deployed. I can also relate to how lonely it is. I don't have any friends down here at the coast. If it might help you can add me on Facebook? My profile is on my page on here under website. 

 

@Ivy I can't believe how bad it got for you yikes! I don't understand why they are charging you a fine when clearly it was their fault for sending it to the wrong address. Hopefully it won't happen again. 

 

@awkward-yet-sweet can you please post a picture of the vehicle. I'm curious on what it is. I guess it's mostly because I have probably driven it. I had gotten a lot of experience on driving all kinds of vehicles while in the military. I'm also glad that your ankle is healing. 

 

I couldn't wake up in time this morning. My son and I were under the weather and he had to miss out on school. I got a bottle of wine called Arbor Mist Exotic Fruits and it's just ok. I prefer Sangria just because on how it tastes so much better. Coffee wasn't really helping that much this morning. I'm still struggling. I might try another cup and hopefully that will work.

Good morning or maybe not based on some of your posts


both congratulations and feeling for you are do.  I’d like to make them all personal but I need to get ready for work, meaning time is of the essence.  
 

another cool but pretty day today.  Unfortunately there won’t be many more of those before it just becomes stinking hot and humid.  
 

I too am a wig girl.  I do get comments on my hair from time to time.  Strictly wigs.  I get pleasant comments from time to time mostly m’aam but some people are strictly sir.  Mostly because of my voice and the fact that they don’t look at me.

 

meeting friends, I have to say, neighbors are friendly for the most part, co-workers are very friendly in my case and groups. Support groups.  But if you mean dating friends instead of talking friends, you got me since I haven’t looked for that for a very long time, over 51 years and no matter what the future holds I won’t ever be again.

I resisted this for a long time.  I wore various head coverings, and do have fairly long "fringe".   But when I finally tried one, I really liked the results.  Now I have 4 of them, although 3 are kinda cheep ones.  

One is long with purple streaks.  I'll be breaking that one out for Pride Month.  Gotta let my "freak flag" fly.

@Ivy I don’t think that would go over too well for me.  Employer would be upset, but even more, my wife would “hit the roof”

Watched my wife get emotional and comfort her.We watched the documentary,The Invisible War last night.She was in the National Guard for 4 years where she was sexually assaulted and raped by her commander.Reported it and nothing was done about it.She has PTSD and anxiety issues from it getting help and has support from me

Sorry to hear about that. I know the feeling although I wasn't raped by my commander but it was by a fellow airman. I didn't want to report it because of the repercussions and I let myself get to intoxicated. I have several other issues which is why I'm retired and can't work. It's hard to live with because there isn't any amount of counselling that will take it away or make it feel better.

Once again, I am well into my day before I can sit and savor my coffee today. Is anyone a fan of horse racing. I'm watching the Friday races at Churchill downs before the Kentucky derby tomorrow. I love watching horse run it is so graceful and I also love the fashion at the races for the derby weekend. I have been having some major envy at the outfits and wonderful hats. Enjoy the start to the weekend all.

I noticed that the art of a character in the back of a book looks like the villain from Rise of the Guardians mixed with Slenderman and now I can't unsee it.

Got to go to the tag office today.

 

I got a letter from the DMV that said my insurance was canceled and I hadn't turned in my tag as required.  I'm thinking what the heck?

 

It was late in the day, but I went over to my agent's office to find out what was going on.  I've been with them for years, and always pay the bill when they send it (twice a year).  Turned out that it was cancelled because I hadn't payed the bill.  I said I hadn't gotten the bill.  She checked, and for some reason they had sent it to an old address.

The company won't issue me a new policy, since I hadn't payed them.  In the past they had sent the bill to where I am now -- I don't get that part at all.

 

She set up a new policy with a different company (which was actually cheeper).

But now I need to go to the tag office, and pay a fine because I didn't turn in the tag when the insurance lapsed.  (because they sent the bill to the wrong place)

It kinda torqued me off.  But at least I won't have to go to jail.  Sheesh.

just about the same thing happend to me today

Yes grief is like that. It comes back unexpectedly and can really hit. I'm glad you have a therapist to help.

Good morning, everyone!! Exciting events in the U.K. and the U.S. today - Coronation and the Kentucky Derby. I plan on watching some of the Coronation coverage and enjoying Mint Juleps while watching the Derby. We also opened our pool this week so I'll spend some time putting out the pool furniture and working on getting the water cleared and the pool cleaned up.

 

Enjoy this beautiful day and be safe!!!

Wow, a lot going on here lately.  I have a beautiful wig, long real hair. VA supplied cost a pretty penny. Wore it once on the way home from the salon. My real hair is nice and long now so I don't need it.

 

It is terrible how some people take advantage of others sexually. Enough said on that.

 

Sounds like a pool party at @April Marie's. I'll bring the mountain dew. LOL. I would love to have a pool. But one would take up the whole back yard. Maybe when I'm rich and famous.

 

My Friday today. My weekend is messed up. Tomorrow going to cars and coffee in Cheyenne. Then out mandatory store meeting. Then Monday I get to go for jury duty over in Cheyenne.  If picked I could be there for the week. I just hope they like T-shirts and jeans. Only dress up clothes I have is a couple nice dresses.

 

OH, well life goes spinning out of control.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

Finished coffee, working up to my Saturday run. Watch the derby later

What a lovely day @ShawnaB! Sounds like it was fun and you scored some new dresses!

 

My wife and I dressed for The Kentucky Derby. We both wore dresses, our matching beige heels and hats, of course. Mint Juleps, salads with tuna followed by a little bourbon over ice made for a perfect evening while sitting at our bar. What a perfect evening!

Good morning, everyone! I've already finished my second cup of coffee, read the paper and have been reading a book as the world comes to life. The rabbits are awake - waiting to see the deer and turkey.

 

I will spend some time working on our pool - waiting for the shock to kill off the algae before vacuuming it out and getting the heater going. It looks like a nice day to wash my truck, too.

 

Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day!!

@April Marie sounds like a great day for you. I went ahead and took out a small loan to help me get what I needed for looking more feminine. I also was able to get more than a weeks worth of clothes. I was also able to find more clothes at the thrift store. I have found a really good deal on eight different perfumes for 35 dollars. I ordered some stuff from aliexpress since it was a lot cheaper. The downside is that I have to wait till June 4th to get some stuff. I was able to find a knock off brand of Ugg boots in size 13. I was pretty happy about that and I can't wait till they come in. I was able to find a reasonably priced Coach purse and matching wallet. I can't afford to spend a lot on electrolysis so I went with an IPL (Intense Pulse Light) hair removal. I know it's going to be permanent but I won't be shaving as much. I got it from a company that has been working with trans women for a very long time. I had my cup of coffee for the day and I might go with the second. I hope that everyone else is having a good day.

Good morning all

 

@ShawnaB it always nice when you get positive feedback from strangers.  Way to go.  I haven’t purchased any new clothes in months.  I’ll soon need some new bras.  I’m starting to spill out of what I have!

 

@Charlize did I miss this years maple syrup collection?  It will soon be blueberry picking time won’t it!  Do you use a round baler or the rectangular type?  When I was a teen t worked at a summer camp.  My job was stacking and interlocking the bales in the hay barn. After a while as the stack got too tall, the others weren’t tossing the bales high enough and I pulled a muscle trying to catch them on the side of the stack and lift them up.  After that my job was driving the tractor that pulled the rake. Equipment has changed a lot since the 60s.  
 

I’m on my first cup right now. I slept a little later than normal. I wa# a bit annoyed yesterday, after getting complemented on how good the drink cooler was looking on Wednesday, I went in to do some shelf filling and discovered someone had totally messed it up.  Empty cartons strewn on the floor, stack of back stock knocked over.  Loose bottles and cans all over the place.  It took more time cleaning up then I was able to spend stocking.

 

have a good day, looks like a nice one here.

      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.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      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.

      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.
