Good morning all!

Another snowy morning here. We Timber Wolves love the snow!

 

It's so hard to believe next week is Thanksgiving already. Wow, time goes fast!

 

Lots of love and a good morning hug,

Timber Wolf?

Another quite smoky day in Northern California. We're far enough from the fire to not be in harm's way, but the sheer volume of smoke this far away makes one appreciate the magnitude of the blaze. Surgical masks are de rigeur for the local resident who craves clean lungs. 

So sad to think of the loss of life, family homes and memories.

Hi,  Glad you are safe where you are.  Seems like this has been a pretty tough year for wild fires in California.  Stay safe.

Good morning all!

Sure glad we don't have fires burning around me. One got close to my home in Baldwin a few years ago. 

 

Lot's of sunshine here today and warmer temps.

 

Lots of love and a good morning hug,

 Yes it is Julie, it’s so bad down here that you can see it inside our warehouse!   I was getting my nails done after work and they had the news on the television, I can’t believe the lost of life and all of those homes, it’s so sad. 

 

On a more coffee related note, Instacart wasn’t able to deliver on time last night so I did not have toast today, however I did figure out where to put my avocados even if I didn’t slice them correctly and make them pretty.

It's like a Roman mosaic if they'd only had avocados and omelettes instead of plaster and tiles ?

Beautiful Nails, Jackie. One of these centuries I will get mine done. pamper myself, mani, pedi. the works. However mine are doing good on their own. I just hope I can keep them instead of breaking them. Have only broken one, recently, Knock on wood.

It snowed last night and since there were heavy winds before and during, the ground is littered with a leafy, snowy soup!

I'm sitting here listening  to a most beautiful song that was playing as I first read my younger sister's reply to my coming out email a few years ago. She's been so supportive of me!

 

Lots of love and  a good morning hug,

Up early (for me) today.  I had an 8am appointment with my doctor.  After he was done with me he sent me to their lab for blood work.  Now my veins roll and I learned to ask them to use a butterfly to draw blood.  I told this person the same thing.  No, she didn't need to use a butterfly, she found a large vein and it was deep so she used the standard vacutainer needle.  Sure enough the vein rolled (which she admitted) so with the needle buried in my are she starts digging around until she finally pierced it.  Besides the uncomfortable pain of her digging, I now have a bruise and I don't bruise easily.

 

made my cup of black coffee (dark roast) but had only drunk part of it before the Dr.  finished it when I was done as it was in a YETI travel cup.  yes they are expensive but they work, lit was still hot over 90 minutes later.  

 

Hugs to all and have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

I am not sure of all this talk of needles this time in the morning ? . It does remind me though, that I have to take my mother for her annual checkup and flu jab this time tomorrow. I think sticking to coffee sounds better :D

Kymmie,

 

I would much rather go to an AFB clinic than a Post Medical Call.  The AF treated us much better than the Army docs.  Guess they didn't like fly boys.  Last time I went to sick call was at Fort Belvoir, VA.  Why there and not Bolling AFB?  Because that's where we were assigned to go for some stupid reason.  Our duty site was a single building on Telegraph Rd in Alexandria VA.  Since we had no base or housing, we were all on our own.  Anyway, I had a ganglion cyst that hurt.  I went to sick call to see about it.  The Army Doc says, why are you here, I told him.  He says what it was and offers "You can have it cut out, but I wouldn't have anybody cutting on my wrist!'  I say but it hurts when I bend my wrist.  As he's walking away, "then don't bend your wrist".  

 

Hope you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

It's cold but sunny here on the east coast.  I'm sitting down to oatmeal with blueberries from the farm, coffee and a glass of juice.  I've been sick the last few days with either an ear infection or a flu.  Fortunately i'm still able to do the chores and keep the wood stove filled and burning.  

Have a Happy and Grateful Thanksgiving!

 

Hugs,

Hello all

 

Well, black Friday is nearly over at least on the east coast.  I never go anywhere near a store on black Friday.  I bought a new to me car this week.  I hope I didn't just buy a whole bunch of trouble.  I've never kept a car to be as old or have as many miles as this one has, but I can't afford more these days.  

 

Had my usual cup of black dark roast this morning.  Left over turkey for lunch and pizza for supper.  It's supposed to rain tonight and most of tomorrow so I'll likely stay home tomorrow too.

 

Kymmie, I'm not exactly fighting my pink monster but I'm not exactly embracing her either.  I'm trying to get to an endocrinologist to see what they have to say about medical transitioning.  And I missed my Pillsbury Orange Cinnamon roll this year.  That's our goto holiday breakfast but we didn't get any this year.

 

Stay sane and away from the malls until things are a little quieter.

Good morning all!

 

I have just finished my mid morning pot of coffee, and about to get on.

 

I too avoid the shops during Black Friday. There are now lots of TV ads too and what with Brexit as well the off and mute buttons are getting much use. Don't people realise that both subjects are having a very negative effect on large numbers of people.

 

Well morning moan over, now for a bit of pampering before I go out. Enjoy your day!

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?

      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
