Cool!  Its a nice feeling when something so serious ends up going right, and maybe you made a friend.  I met a really good friend during my hospital stay in 2022.  She was part of the nursing team that took care of me, and she figured out some of my special needs and let me know I was safe with her....she wore a little rainbow pin, and she let me know that she's trans. 🥰  We've been hanging out ever since, and now she works at my county's clinic.  Sometimes we can meet great people even through tough situations.

This is just wonderful on so many levels. Fate brought you all together for more than one reason.

Good morning, everyone.

 

After reading @Adrianna Danielle's post, there is absolutely nothing I can add to start today that can improve on the positivity it gives us all. 

 

So, I won't even try.

 

Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

Good morning 

 

@Mmindy how did you get a picture of me in one of my old wigs?  Looks just how I looked about a year ago.  Now picture two, that’s more like me now.

 

made a pot today.wife was up early.  And since as of now, I have five days off in a row, well that will be five straight strictly pots.  I’ll spend the time finishing my reading and contemplating my school paper I need to write.  Boy this is tough, last time I wrote an essay it was one page, not ten and for my CPA exams and that was 40some years ago.  Longer since I wrote 10 pages on a subject.  I graduated from college 50 years ago this year.

 

second cup poured but then I have to get ready for work.

Say a little prayer for me today. I have eye surgery, cataracts. Scary, but it's a very safe procedure. The little prayer would mainly be for my insurance getting renewed. Ugh. It's worry that hurts the worst. Thanks.

It's that time of the morning when I have had my morning coffee, but I am still waiting for it to hit my brain.  "Come on, caffeine, do your stuff!"

 

The latest forecast for eclipse day at my selected viewing site is for clear skies!  Yippee!!  (Don't want to gloat too loudly in case I jinx it.)

Good morning everyone,

 

Prayers for you @Davie I hope you see clearly soon.

 

@Willow our coffee images are like sisters in stressors.

 

Today I have to deliver a training prop I built, and then I'm free act retired. That's how you act when you are semiretired. Work a few days... Don't work a few days... Repeat.

 

The coffee was good.

Good luck for you with this.

I've had it done and the results were wonderful.  I had worn glasses for most of my life, after the surgery, only to read.

I have slept an extra three and a half hours. I'm just drained from all the energy I had. I now have enough energy to make tea. I forgot to get creamer and will get that when I can. Good ole hump day is almost halfway over. I'm getting my appetite back. My voice is still rough.

Good evening Rachel,

 

Congratulations on selling your house, and your up coming surgery. I hope taking off a couple of weeks gives you time to recharge, and feel better.

 

Hugs,

Well, its after midnight...so technically morning.  Except I haven't been able to go to sleep yet.  I keep trying at my graphic work on the computer, and I'm pretty frustrated.  I don't exactly have a deadline, but this just seems to be taking too long.  I get the lines the way I want them, and my fingers move wrong or twitch and mess it up and I have to redo it.  Sometimes the "undo" function on the program does OK, other times it does too much or too little.  I work an hour or two, then I have to give up and do something else for a while. 

 

I spent part of the evening griping about it with one of my partners.  She's got a hand issue, but instead of TBI and nerves she's got physical damage, scar tissue, and a lack of flexibility.  She's been trying to do some sewing work and get fitted for some new armor, and she's had continuing difficulty.  We ended up giving up for the night...except that she fell asleep almost instantly and I'm still awake. 😴

Good morning 

 

well I sorta got to sleep in today as I am off.  I thought I had five days off, but in talking to my manager, she indicated she’s having a hard time with next weeks schedule and it isn’t done yet.  I thought it was because she already working on the following week.  Even though I am not her asst manager, she relies heavily on me.  The actual asst manager knows the paperwork better than I do but that’s about it.  When I have time I get a lot more done around the store, keeping it clean, stocking shelves, fixing things or suggesting fixes to issues.  
 

it rained here most of the day yesterday, now it’s supposed to cool off for a few days plus the pollen count will be lower, but it will build back up.  
 

@Adrianna Danielle it is very fulfilling to find a younger person who needs a little mentoring.  And they need to know people who are radical but are also transgender.  Too often their exposure is the news showing the more outspoken Transgenders during a protest or pride event. They need to see we come in all sizes, all ages and everything else good about us, not just the slanted news.

 

@awkward-yet-sweet I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to have so must difficulty trying to do your graphics when you had been so good at it and now are having issues.  On a much lower detail scale I get it because of all the things my mind wants me to do but my hands say no.  You still have time to rehabilitate your abilities, mine are do to getting older and weaker.  At least my mind still works and I will continue to exercise that until I can’t.

PS coffee is good this morning and sips was the raspberry danish ring.

Good morning everyone,

 

It's been raining/sleeting here for a two days with temperatures in 40°s by day and low 30°s. My Spring flowers are nearly grown and completing their cycle. My most important weather concern is the skies over central Indiana next Monday 04/08/2024 for the eclipse of the Sun. As long as it's mostly sunny, an occasional cloud won't bother me. Just let it be clear for six minutes starting at 15:06 EDST during the time of totality. Here's a predicted view of the sky according to BBC Sky at Night Magazine / Pete Lawrence. Not pictured is the location of Betelgeuse our next closest star, which astronomers are keeping an eye on every night thinking it may explode.

According to EarthSky Editors on March 17, 2024

"Betelgeuse is the nearest potential supernova, but how far away is it? Distance estimates vary, but it’s probably within 1,000 light-years … a hop and a skip in galactic terms.

We know that someday, Betelgeuse will explode as a supernova. Then, it might become as bright as a full moon and possibly be visible in broad daylight!"

 

Other than that, my coffee is almost gone.

 

I will also post this in the Science Nerd thread.

Got the eye patch off today.  Eye is improving by the hour! Sharper but most amazingly, the color correction is a wonder: true colors!!  All the colors are saturated crisp, clear, bright, contrasted, full spectrum!! Progress.

Great to hear, Davie. Both my parents had cataract surgery. It helped them both. 

 

Knee is every so slowly getting better. Of course, Yesterday I had to put a strain on it. Took out the Fatboy to ride to work, then taking the wife for our weekly dinner. We went last night because her and our youngest are going out of town today. I already have plans for tomorrows meal. Hitting the On the Hook food truck for Fish and chips.

 

While I usually am not a fan of fish, the wife and son got it about a month ago. I tried a bite, OMG it was delicious. So next time they had it. I got an order too. Yep, great. So, I am on the hook, for tomorrow.

 

TGIF everyone.

Good morning

 

its sunny but cool again today. Got to get back to going to bed really early so I can get up really early. I open Saturday and a couple other days next week.  It’s kind of a crazy mixed up schedule because I also have a noon to 8 pm shift. 
 

1000 light years away, how do they know it didn’t already happen?  The light we see from the stars is ancient history.  Only our sun is close enough for us to see it it near time and even that happened before we see it.  Except through science fiction most people don’t realize the time really is a dimension in the universe.

 

i saw the 2017 eclipse just at the edge of near totality, it was indeed amazing however I will not be looking at this one.  We are at the edge between the second and third zones.  Frankly, I don’t trust the $4.00 cardboard viewing glasses.

 

if it’s clear, I might try to photograph it, but I have a filter for my camera made for eclipse photography. 
 

I made beef, potatoes and vegetables for dinner last night.  I may tackle chicken on Sunday. 
 

Spring breakers are here in force, not so many families but adults.  The roads are crowed, the stores are busy as are the chain restaurants.  But you can still get seated in the local establishments.

 

well, time for another cup.

 

toot-a-loo

      Yes,I hate that     Also finding out I might be father of a 24 year young lady.I had an one night stand with a woman off base when I was in the army.Called this afternoon and said I am possibly the father of her now 24 year old daughter.Told her I will agree with a paternity test that will be done.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.
    • DonkeySocks
      Fantastic news! Thank you for updating us.
    • Davie
      More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube.   "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.

      I'm aware that the young US ended up fighting a war with these people, and that phrase was not meant to address Church & state.  But somebody was willing to include it at the time.   I am also aware that your family arrangements would not go over well with most christian nationalists.  But that is kinda where I'm coming from on this.  I believe you and others of us with an unconventional lifestyle should be free to live as we desire - as long as we are not hurting anyone else.  And by "hurting" I don't mean only their feelings.   Using christianity to justify oppression is just wrong.  As is forced conversion, or forced conversion therapy.   Regarding public funds, LGBTQetc people have as much right to them as straight-cis folks.  I'm not arguing that queer people have more rights, just equal rights.

      Even better news:  It turns out for my sister it was cardio not stroke. She’s put on new blood thinner and sent home. False alarm! Yay.

      Things have changed since I've been on HRT for about 15 years. The consequence is I am not so concerned about how I present all the time.  I wear t-shirts a lot. I am pragmatic in how I shop. No, I don't want to look male, but will buy some male clothing because it fits. I am tall and built like a football linebacker, so buying women's clothes that fit can be difficult. For one I have no problem buying men's sneakers if they can pass as unisex. I wear size 12-13 women's shoes. And that can be hard to find. And, I don't like wearing slacks without pockets. I use pockets for work.    I've learned to be pragmatic. I dress up when I want to go out in public, and not so much at work. I do have a favorite blouse that accentuates the girls. And one blue striped blouse where I wear a cami top.

      https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2016/05/secularists-please-stop-quoting-the-treaty-of-tripoli/   ^^^ an interesting piece about the treaty, written by an atheist.   I totally understand why the Christian nationalist stuff makes people uncomfortable. For me, it is uncomfortable in a different way, as modern Christian nationalism is not nearly as "generic" as the views of the Founders.  Its specifically Evangelical.  I'm in a plural marriage, so definitely not approved of.    I believe the intent of the Founders was to uhold generic Christian ideas... "in God we trust" and "there's a God who created the world and He wrote ten commandments for us" sort of stuff.  Nothing beyond that, nothing specific enough to use against folks.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Free?!?!  That's insane.  I can understand perhaps mistaking somebody's well equipped garage as a business, but demanding free work is ridiculous.   My GF once remarked that while few things in life are free, butt-kickings are an exception. She offers those free-of-charge, to any who ask. A little charity helps the world go round 🤣

      I had a CDL when I was working for the city.  But I let it go when I retired.  I couldn't justify paying so much just to drive myself around.
    • Ivy
      While I'm sure the "Founders" had the 30 years war, etc. on their minds, they didn't write the constitution as considering only Christian sects. The early colonists (I used the word) did mostly come from areas of "christian culture" but it's hard to reconcile some of their actions with what Christ himself taught.   Christians have a right to their beliefs, but there are a lot of American citizens that do not consider themselves "christian."  I have seen writings where the US was specifically said not to be a "Christian Nation". "The 1797 Treaty of Tripoli that sought to secure America from attacks by the so-called Barbary pirates who were Muslim made a point to say that the United States "is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion.""    It shouldn't be difficult to understand why the "Christian Nationalist" movement makes some of us uncomfortable.
