@Davie  I watched a video that was shot outside a rally.  It was an interviewer and a supporter.  The supporter was absolutely 100% convinced that all the negative things were the lies and he really was a great and honest man.  He believes he actually won the last election and was running the country secretly from Mara-la-go, the pictures of Biden as President were fake,  he only believes what he reads on online blogs, they are the only real truth.  You get the picture.  Our country has lost its common sense.

@rachel wI was so happy when my granddaughter was born. The first girl since my generation. I was able to meet her before my wife. She is such a doll. But I love all 5 of my grandchildren, hard for me to believe that I have been a grandparent for as of the end of this month 8 yrs. holey sniky. Congratulations, grandma.

 

Well my civic duty is over. we turned in our verdict yesterday morning. Had a great experience doing it. So back to work today and tomorrow. Unless they let me off. Which is doubtful, I would bet if it were anyone else they would. I at the point that I don't even think the manager believes me. However, I have the signed and sealed. (embossed and everything) letter that proves it.

 

Have all next week off. original plan was Bowling Green, KY for the Buick GS nationals. Wagon isn't even close to being done. Still no intake. Gonna call again today. Then it was taking the Explorer to Moab. Then yesterday the wife says I want to see our oldest grandson before his birthday. Just seen a text that puts a wrench in that. Grandson has Bday parties to go too. Yea, for him. So unknown what I am doing next week. May work on the wagon, or the bike or the Explorer. Who knows what next week will bring.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

New borns, so tiny and fragile.  Believe it or not, they start bonding immediately.  Congratulations @rachel w

Yes congratulations.   I have fun reminding my grown kids that "Grandchildren are the best revenge."  LOL.

Thanks @Willow. Well put. I guess it's a firm grasp of reality that's important. But I can relate. When I was on the plane coast-to-coast to Boston, crying out from the pain in my back, I did not want to be in reality (I'm glad no one offered me illegal drugs just then—addictive ones I woulda taken). Now, when I look back on my life, I hate to see that big lie that I carried all that time, and how I stuffed all those feminine feelings. I guess God gifted me with a complicated life. So be it. It ain't easy, but it's mine, Cheers.

Feeling anxious now. Meeting my new therapist today. We've met before, but just for intros—not serious change ideas. Don't want to change right now because I'm feeling overwhelmed. "Want to become a cis male in the suburbs who plays golf, votes for Trump because he's so honest." — Oh, gross! Guess some change is OK. I scare myself. Here goes. More later.

— Davie

Yeah I can imagine meeting someone new I hope they meet your expectations. What happened to your old therapist? Yeah I'm the opposite I wished I was a cis gendered female.

Yeah I can imagine how it feels to have a granddaughter I don't wish for one so soon though my kids are too young. Seven and two year old boys. Maybe in twenty years.

Hi, I would like to have slept later, but that’s the way it goes I guess.  Coffee is going in.  
 

drive through coffee, hmmm 🤔 Does The Starbucks drive up window count?  It not a kiosk but it is coffee and you don’t get out of your car.  Those are all over the East coast whether it’s a site all by itself or in a strip of stores the always have a window here.  Dunkin’ is like that and KrispyKreeme.  Wonderful, made fresh, HOT NOW, melt in your mouth pure calories KrispyKreeme donuts.  Homer Simpson’s got nothing on us.  DONUTS!

 

believe it or not, it’s a day off for me.  Two in one week, quite unusual.  Whoops.  Take that back.  Just got called in for overtime 4 to 8.  I guess I can use the $.

 

Willow

I'm sorry you had to get called in. I guess it's not too bad since it's only four hours. I wished I could handle doughnuts. They don't agree with my body. I feel so sluggish and sick.

Good morning!

 

Had a tweet from what used to be my 'alternate' 'trans twitter' account go so viral that both my kids came across it, even the one who hasn't been on Twitter for years, which led to transphobes chiming in and my first ever personal transphobic attack, so cross that milestone off the list. 

 

The transphobes attack the looks of all the young attractive trans women so it's less effective when it comes your way. Anyway, have a good weekend!

Ugh. I'm so sorry you have to go through this @RhondaS - it never ceases to amaze me by how people hiding behind a keyboard feel entitled to judge others and how righteous they feel they are.

Some of the comments are so hateful.  There are people I follow on there, but I don't really post stuff myself.

Thanks @Ashley0616Yes. She seems excellent. Open, non-judgmental, not afraid of difficult discussion topics, willing to work with my writing style, and experienced with many other trans folks. My previous therapist was inexperienced and too timid—she couldn't deliver much  feedback. The new one seems eager to share her experiences and insights. Plus, she's an ally from the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. I feel both well cared-for and relieved to have found her. If the mind/body idea is true—it should even help my sore back. 💜

Yesterday went to Boston for a show, the place had restrooms marked as 'stalls' or 'stalls and urinals', that was new to me!

Good morning and Happy Mother's Day! We worked hard around our home yesterday - power washing the porches and outside furniture and then setting it all out. Then we had a quick dip in the pool before going to church.

 

Our priest focused his homily on mothers and Mother's Day. Towards the end he asked all mothers to stand up to receive a special prayer...and then offered for anyone who identified as female to rise also. He is one of the few people who know my status - I have not come out publicly so I remained seated. My wife looked back at me and reached out her hand to take mine and whispered "I will stand for both of us." I had to work hard to hold back the tears.

 

Today will be a rest day. I hope you all have a wonderful and love-filled day. 

 

Be safe and find the goodness in this day we've been given.

Happy Mother's Day to all. Went to church and no one suspected that I was an MTF. My voice was ok and was definitely struggling which is why I can't wait to have surgery for that and it will be effortless. Hope y'all have a good day!

good afternoon, and as others have said, happy mothers' day! hope everyone's doing well today. today has only one problem and it's a good one to have: not knowing the dress code for the school art show tomorrow. one of my pieces got in, and i don't know the dress code for the reception.

Most of the coffee kiosks around here are tiny, with no dine-in, just cars pulling up on either side of the kiosk.

Hey there Chloe,

 

We used to have several drive up coffee kiosks here in the Indianapolis, IN area. They seemed to take over the abandoned drive up FotoMats. Then FiveBucks coffee moved into the area and drove them out of business.

That's really awesome to see!  The kiosk where I work isn't quite that small, though it seems tiny sometimes!

 

The whole era of FotoMats is before my time obviously.  Did they really develop pictures there?  It really seems too small for that.  I would guess they sent the film somewhere at night to be developed.

Yes Chloe, they had to send the film off to be developed, but you could buy replacement film as you dropped off your exposed film. Then Polaroid self developing film cut into the business edging out Kodak. Then they both got hit hard when cameras went digital.

I always wanted to get into photography more, but couldn't afford the film and all.  When the digital cameras came in, it opened up a new world.  Once you had the camera, you could take unlimited pix, and just delete the crap and save the best stuff.  Then add in photoshop, and you can crop, and play with layers, adding text - I mean wow.  

Unfortunately, having a phone with a camera, I seldom carry my Nikon around anymore.  I need to get back to it.

      Good afternoon M.A.   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I think you'll find that there are a lot of us who had their first therapist reconsidering our story and recommended us to gender or LGBTQIA specific therapist. I made my first therapist cry after asking me what was my worst experience or memory. She was not prepared for the can of worms I brought to the couch. My second therapist is a gem, she's my age and knows how to work with my thoughts.    My two kids were also involved in the arts programs in school one in theater, the other combined art and modern music.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Welcome.   This can be a good sounding board and a place to say things you otherwise could not. Be yourself. Find out what that is.   Abby
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm wearing a white t shirt and jeans.  The t-shirt is softer than a man's and slightly girly.  Feeling kinda pretty.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      That's very common in internet forums and it is hard not to take it personally sometimes.   You might post "bump" with a smiley face to bring it to the top of the stack, or you might use the @ feature if there are certain people you would really like to have comment on it, and say something like Dear Abby, I would really like your input on this.  Please take a minute and respond.  Thanks!!!

      Something else I noticed @Ladypcnj Since I use the Unread tab, I don't see threads I've read again until someone replies to it, or the author adds something.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Mmindy
      Good morning @Ladypcnj   Some posts get lost in the busy times here. It also maters how people navigate the site. Some only look at their notifications, or tap the All Activity tab which shows them thread they've commented on. (how I see it)... I on the other hand use the Unread tag under Activity. I don't think people ignore post as much as they get caught up reading threads they've already been active in.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Oh yeah, I forgot,    @awkward-yet-sweetwhen your husband finally breaks down and decides to replace the stoves I agree a single professional stove even out of a defunct restaurant might well be the way to go when cooking for all those kids and adults. Certainly better that the situation you describe.  Or maybe from a used restaurant supply where they have professionally cleaned and refurbished it.
    • Willow
      Wow, yesterday was a very active day.     @Birdie I hope they figure out where that’s coming from and get you heeled quickly. That it’s nothing serious.  Maybe going to the day care with a purewick will finally convince them to change their attitude.   @MaeBe  especially if you believe you are about to loose your job anyway, what’s to keep you in Minnesota ?  This could be a wonderful thing for all of you Washington State can be wet but it’s really not as bad as it’s made out to be.  If you are west of the cascades it is relatively mild not like MN in the winter time.  And east of the cascades it’s rather desert like around Yakima.     New car shopping can be fun but it can be very stressful too.  We talked about it over lunch yesterday. Strange thing is she kept coming back to the old Ford.  My response was instead of two car payments there woul only be one although I would expect it to be a little higher, but not nearly what two would add up .  Plus I wouldn’t have to continue working as long with only one as when I get the other things paid off I know we can live without me working.  Unless of course, the congress decides to mess with social security.  Right now I have three vehicles I want to look at two are at one dealer and the third at another.  All three are GMs two are newer with lower mileage but are also lower end on the GM line.  The third which is the one that most interests me is a Cadillac.  Let’s see there is a song from way back about a Cadillac and a Hot Rod Lincoln comes to mind.  Anyway it is an XT-5. I get my room and comfort, she gets her nice appointments and the ford hopefully will hang on as a spare for those occasions when we need a second car for me to go to work and for her to do ??  The downside is it has just under 80,000 miles and is a 2020 so in that regard we are slipping backwards from a 2022 with 25000  but going from a sub-compact to a mid-size.  The other two are a compact and a Midsize but neither would provide the expected comfort and features of the Cadillac.  The biggest of which are the pedals that would adjust and the seat adjustments. (My wife is 4’ 10” and I am 5’8” since my spine has shrunk.  The Caddy also has the lane safety as well as front and rear collision warning.  The mileage will go down and the engine requires higher octane gas but that won’t be too much of a drag since we can go to Murphy USA where I work or to Costco which isn’t that far away. 10 miles.  And it’s better than the Ford!   I guess we will see how this plays out later.   Willow
