I have to admit that I do enjoy them. It's just when I'm doing things they get in the way. Drives he nuts. Maybe is they were removable? 🤔

I'm going to a wedding this weekend.  Thankfully, it is informal so I don't have to worry too much about clothes.  But the occasion will be a bit awkward.

 

Its GF's friend marrying our sheriff, and I can't imagine an odder couple.  I never really liked the girl...sort of a skater punk type and rather abrasive.  She's very young, and I wasn't happy when she dragged GF into acting like a partying teenager.  I'm going out of politeness and I wish them success, but part of me is straining to imagine exactly HOW it will work 🙄

Ultrasound and blood work went well, and the doctor read the results today.  I have a genetic condition called PMDS, and of course am well within the umbrella of intersex (already knew that). It seems that this condition grows a uterus and fallopian tubes in otherwise healthy "males". 🙄

 

So I have the severe micro-penis, hypogonadism, and PMDS, but that doctor doesn't think I was mis-gendered?

 

I feel like a woman, look like a woman, and have a womb like a woman. I am a woman as far as I am concerned.

Interesting how that goes....  My doctor was shocked that an otherwise normal looking female ended up with zero breasts, a prostate, and enlarged girl parts.  Nothing like being intersex to break their brains 🙄

Hi

 

so my hours for tomorrow were changed, I start two hours earlier now, at 10 instead of noon, and at a different store.  It’s just a mile or two further away.  Off Friday, the. I work Saturday and Sunday.
 

@KymmieL I was wondering if you could recommend a good Ford Eddie Bauer Explorer gurl in Myrtle Beach.  I need to open up the heater AC mixer it seems the mixer flap isn’t moving.  Also, the driver side sunroof drain hose is disconnected or rotted.  I need to get into that too.  What do you think 🤔?  Finally, I got some sanding and painting to get done on the roof.  And all to be done with out a garage or a compressor.

 

let’s see a few spray cans of paint. Some sandpaper A couple feet of 3/8 id hose, and maybe some vacuum hose should handle the supplies.  So, what do you think?  Got any recommendations?  lol 😝 

 

I put a new battery in it a couple weeks ago.  Amazing what all that fixed.  Biggest issue will be replacing the control switches on the steering wheel.  There is a risk of tripping the air bag if I mess up.  Once I’ve done all this it will be like a 20 year old car with 172,000 miles again.

 

time for bed

Yeah, they are bewildered by us. Strange also how they want to tell us what gender we are.

@Willow I sent you a message on the fix for your HVAC system in your Eddie. Hope it helps.

 

Wow, your boss must like you or something sending you to another store to screw theirs up. Have fun. I've had to do it before. Actually got sent to the Rawlins, WY store for a week to help out. Company footed the hotel bill.

 

I have got 2 weeks to get the wagon up and running. She is getting there. need to hook up the PCV valve, install the plug wires, Add coolant, and gas. Then install the new chrome valve covers that should be here on Friday.  Then cross my fingers that everything works right.

 

Hugs,

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

🌈HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!🌈

 

I cleaned up the welding and grinding area in my small shop yesterday. It's going to be in the 90s again here in central Indiana that's unseasonably warm for us. I'm not a Summer time girl. We're nearly 2" behind on rainfall, so I'll be moving the sprinkler around the yard today so the grass doesn't turn brown. I use a 1.5" deep pie pan to gauge the amount of water that lands in an area. Once it is full, I dump it out, and relocate the sprinkler, and pie pan and repeat the process until the entire yard has received 1.5" of water.

 

Stay hydrated, wear sun screen, and know you are loved.

I was able to thankfully fix my insulin pen because my youngest son got it out of the fridge and destroyed it.

Good morning 

 

first cup is gone, considering a second.  Thanks Mmindy. And I’ll pass it on, happy pride month to all.

 

90s in Indiana?  In May/June?  This weather pattern is really messed up.  That wouldn’t be so unusual here yet we can’t get out of the 70s.  Our normal would be 80s with the occasional 90.  July through September are pretty consistent 90s with high humidity.


@KymmieL yes actually my boss, and his boss do like me.  I handle situations that arise quite well.  I’ve trained two new cashiers at the same time once, telling them what to do and jumping in to work the line down if it was getting too long.  I take pride in MY beverage cooler and get annoyed when someone (a supplier or another store employee) messes it up.  I help clean it up beyond normal and I am getting promoted with less than 3 months employment.  Ok, 40 years of prior management experience doesn’t hurt.

 

see what happens when you get bored.  @mmindy I think you might eventually regret it if you completely shutdown your business.

 

well, I need to get ready to go to another store.  
 

until tomorrow 

 

hugs

I had an appointment with a respirologist today, to check on my recovery from the pneumonia that I had 18 months ago.  The bottom line is that I am lucky to be alive, and the way my lungs are now is as good as they are going to get.  She called it a "remarkable" recovery.  It means that I have to do stuff slowly and listen when my lungs tell me I am going too fast.

 

Could be worse.  I am lucky that my wife recognized that I was going downhill fast and called an ambulance for me.  And lucky that the antibiotics worked.

 

We are a long way from the forest fires in Nova Scotia, but we have the same dry weather.  I hope no one drops a cigarette by the side of the road!

Well I was able to drop off the paperwork at the courthouse to officially change my name. Court date and time is set. What should I expect? I didn't even know you actually had to show up. I thought it was just like a divorce. The paperwork goes to the judge and he/she signs off on it.

In NC the clerk of court does it all.

Of course, you need to have all the paperwork and the $$$.

Good morning, everyone!! 

 

I woke up early yesterday - early for me is 3AM - and could feel the depression engulfing me. Walked and fed the dogs at 4 and then crawled back into bed. My wife was awake and she wrapped her arms around and forced me to talk. It gave me the chance to vocalize what I was feeling, shed a few tears and get out of my head. I fell asleep and slept until 6 - woke up feeling so much better and by last evening felt great. It is frightening how quickly we can get into our own heads and overwhelmed by depression - and I am blessed to have a wife who can see it coming and pull me up. 

 

The weather here was warm and sunny yesterday - which always helps - and we ate dinner sitting out on our back porch. Later, we enjoyed a little bourbon watching the sun set from our front porch. 

 

Today we are going to Costco - I always love going there because, not only can you get bulk food at good prices, they usually have some nice, relatively inexpensive clothes to fill out my wardrobe. This afternoon, we'll be sunning and swimming in our pool. Heaven.

 

One of the small things that helped to bring my smile back was.........big hoop earrings! My piercings are healed and the starter earrings are gone!! Now, I'm experimenting with different styles of earrings - my wife is sharing with me - and I absolutely love the  feel of the large hoops moving in my earlobes. Funny how something so seemingly small can have such a large impact on your state of mind. 

 

Enough sharing for today - if you made it this far...I apologize but it felt good to vent.

 

Enjoy this beautiful day and look for the goodness in it....it might be just something small like a pair of earrings that lifts you up.

Good morning, 

 

The CNA that visits every morning for my meds was training a new CNA. The CNA decided to tell the lady that Birdie is "male" by the way. He is intersex so he just looks different. 

I found that to be rather offensive. I don't need explaining to people. 

 

Oh well, life goes on. Have a wonderful day everyone!

i don’t blame you for that.  If the trainee had looked at you record before coming they would have known that anyway.  And they do need to be familiar with your records before doing anything.

I know about the overwhelming feelings that can come on all of the sudden. For me, just one thought can do it. And wam depression hits.

 

I also love the feeling of dangling earrings. unfortunately they start bothering me after a while. So, back to my studs. I do want to get my ears pierced again but haven't got around to it yet.

That is terrible, anyone in the medical field should know better. I would complain to her supervisor.

I asked the bus driver and my medical reports do state that as well. Any worker that can "read" should be well-informed. 

Talking about it was just rude.

I really need to keep working on getting "male" changed to "female" on my medical records. Heck I have a uterus and fallopian tubes!

My doctor isn't really working with me on that. 😐

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
