I work with the best people. A little while ago my manager came into my office as said he needed to talk to me. He had a concerned look on his face. My first thought was uh-oh, someone finally noticed I've been wearing mini-skirt to work. I went into his office through the back door and he closed it behind me. Then turns to me and says, wait I need another manager, follow me. So now I'm getting really worried especially since I did plow my jeep into my company car last weekend. So I followed him into our warehouse to meet with another manager. As we approached far side of the warehouse I noticed a bunch of my coworkers congregating in an area. OMG! It was a birthday trap! It was so sweet of them. They sang me happy birthday and had bought cup cakes. That in itself would have been enough but they still went a step further by having the cupcakes made with pink, white and blue frosting to show their love and support. Honestly, I don't know if I could have made it this far without them.

@Elizabeth Star Dispite what you are having to deal with at home you have a great place at work and that is so Awesome, also Happy birthday young lady 🎂

Wow as we venture even deeper.....

introductions are over, phase one checked off.

 

So now, what will coffee bring tomorrow?

Personally I think that gatekeeping builds resentment. If there is ongoing resentment then it’s an unhealthy relationship. So the big question is: is it fair to stay with someone for the rest of theirs/our lives if both parties are going to be resentful and unhappy with the relationship? It’s not like any of us are going to stop being trans. 
I get that in the beginning, spouses need some adjustment time. But it can’t be ongoing.

That is so cool what your work did, Liz. 

While our company advises that the store manager observe birthdays. It has been seen done with others but not me. Maybe that I usually take my Bday off. But unless I mentioned that it was my bday I never got a Happy Birthday.

 

I even had to contact the regional secretary to even get recognized for my 5 yrs with the company.

Sometimes gate keeping is necessary. Like when you are in the bathroom in

some dingy club, and no paper!!!! And as you sit, you think to yourself, glad I

hid this commodity.

Good morning 

 

Jamie, some people just don’t have the sense to know when to either say nothing or try to be accommodating.  Especially wait staff.  They should realize that the tip size could change based on the greeting.  Yes it can certainly make for a buzz kill after an otherwise good meal.

 

congratulations on your anniversary.  Which one was it?

 

Willow

 

 

51st. Thanks 😊

Thank you all for your kind responses. You are the best group of friends ❤️ 

Yes, I know I'm in an unhealthy relationship. Have been for over 53 years. I still love my wife and I'm not ready to give up yet. I'm an optimist. I'm hoping for the best, or at least something I can live with. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life and she stuck with me. I can stick with her too as long as she is working on supporting me. I do see improvement, albeit slowly 🐌. I'm sitting here in her room in the er. She is progressively getting worse with all her health conditions. I don't know how much longer she will be around. This is 3rd trip here since Christmas. Hope they don't need to keep her. There isn't an available room within a 24 hour drive of here. They call in a 5 state area. 🙁

Well the wife is at it again. She has coffee with a friend after work. (normal Thursday routine) She gets home at her normal Thurs time. Says barely half dozen words to me. 

She makes a call to someone, talking about game tickets. says about half dozen words again then she disappears upstairs.  Not a word about anything. I hear like she is at a video meeting. No big thing. She does an AA meeting on Mondays. now she is working the correction area of AA. I think that was the meeting tonight.

 

Since she most of the time has something to eat at her coffee get together, I make myself something. (bowl of white rice.) She comes down after her meeting, walks into the kitchen. I tell her I already ate. "Well, You didn't make me anything"

 

She makes her self some left overs(or something) She puts on Shrek 4.   She gets a call. I hear her talking about this game tickets, meeting this person at 6:30. I finally finish posting part of a story, join her to watch. I do hear it is a female on the other end.  She finishes her call. about ten minutes later, I asked her what is this game and when. "Oh, I don't know if they are having the game. so and so is going to let me know."

 

Well that is not what I asked, I think. She is keeping me in the dark more and more often. Later, after our two cups and a snack. (normal evening) She has nodded off. Waking up, she asks me if "I am going to get our second cup, and a couple cookies?"

I tell her, I already did and gave you a candy bar.  "Oh, That is right."  She'll probably tell me, "I told you about the game earlier this week/last week. You just forgot." She is always doing that. I swear she has got dementia/alzhimers

 

I am so confused on what to do anymore. I guess I will find out if and what game it is tomorrow. More than likely Uni of Wyoming basketball. I need to work on doing something to correct this.

 

Forgive me for my rambling. I just needed to talk about it, being I only have my friends here.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I really hate the mind games our wives play. I know they're struggling too, but then the communication needs to ramp up just because of this. I hope you gals can work through it.❤️

Sorry for bringing up this topic again.

I finally decided last night to get vaccinated after talking to the nurses at the er. (My wife knows them all because she's there so much). I've held off this long because of my wife. Especially because vaccinateded people are getting covid more with this new strain. I have 3 immune compromised people in my house that would not survive covid. After talking with a few well informed nurses, I found I don't have a great chance of surviving because of prone to bronchial asthma from allergies. I take allergy meds year round. It's one of those "Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't things". I figure if I get sick, no one will be here to care for my wife, especially if I don't survive. If I get sick after being vaccinated, at least I will survive to help at home. Personally, I want to live, more than ever now that I'm finally able to be myself. I hope I'm not sounding too selfish, but I really believe getting the shots is the better option.

Good for you. Yes you can still get it but it won't be nearly as bad if you do. I've been hearing the word selfish thrown around my home a lot lately. I don't feel that thinking and caring about yourself and your future is selfish. Most people reserve the number one spot for themselves anyways. They just need someone to #2 on when things are rough.

Kind of sounds like she's tying to confuse you by only giving out pieces of information.

Yes, you are likely to get Omicron even if you’re vaccinated and boosted, but the chances of being severely I’ll are greatly diminished. Omicron is spreading like wildfire where I work but most of my coworkers are sick for a couple of days. Take care of yourself.

Good decision, Jamie!  
 

From my position, lying in a hospital with pneumonia and a collapsed lung (not Covid-related), I am scared spitless of catching Covid on top of all this.  Even a mild case would do me in.  Everything people can do to limit the spread of the virus helps, especially vaccination.  Thank you!

Hang on @KathyLauren

No matter what please.

 

Found out a couple weeks back that showing vaxx card is mandatory for my surgeries.  So glad  I thought of that last summer.  If I hadn’t done it then, there wouldn’t have been enough time to get it done before my upcoming procedures 

 

(that is, my procedures that haven’t been postponed due to Dr Omicron).  
 

I’m at a private clinic next week, but anything can happen….I guess my fingers are crossed…

And I believe.

 

 

 

 

 

Healthy blessings to you Kathy, and anyone reading this who is not well

Yeah, I've thought about this also. Already I have to provide a negative covid test result for my electrolysis appointment in early Feb. That could change at any time to having to show a vaxx card. Hopefully all this covid crap will settle down soon. I'm #192 on waiting list for bottom surgery. At the rate it's going, it'll be 4 years before it's time. I'll be 73 yrs old. I am going to have to rethink everything.😒

Good morning. TGIF I guess.

 

@Jamie68  great minds etal.  I was going to post a cake but you beat me to it.  😀

 

@KathyLauren I’m so sorry you have pneumonia and are in the hospital.  
 

Everyone, yes we all are far more alike in so many ways.  Our stories are nearly word for word as I read them here.  About the only difference I see is wives.  Some quit early and get a divorce.  Some can’t figure out what to do and make themselves and us miserable.  And a few manage to get past that stage.  Even if they won’t ever be happy about it they at least aren’t mean and spiteful.

 

in turn, we have to decide our own situation.  Jamie is doing a wonderful job of caring for her wife.  Kymmie it seems can’t do anything right.  And still others Hey I’m going to the store do you need anything?  My wife and I do just about everything together and have for as long as we’ve known each other.   It took several years, lots of tears and lots of talks to get to this point.  If I’m reading a book or posting that supports something I’ve  been telling her about myself and being transgender,  I’ll ask her to read it too (just that paragraph).  That has helped us.

 

not liking the weekend weather forecast. Most of SC is expecting winter weather.  Snow in the far west, ice in the midlands,  ice and rain in the PeeDee and up to 3” of rain on the coast.  I have to go out and get a propane tank filled.  I may see what else we might need and brave the grocery store.

 

Jamie, latest boat up date, with a known 5 gallons of diesel in the tank, my gauge still reads 0.  Now it could be a bad sending unit, a bad connection or a mismatch of the ohms of the two .  I need to take my meter and check if the resistance changed from empty to 5 gallons and if it did, reprogram the gauge.  No change new sending unit.  Always something to fix on a 35 year old boat when it had no maintenance at all for ten years.

 

First cup gone.  Next is my E shot.

 

make the best of your day, we never know how many we have left.

 

love y’all

Sounds like my house. It's old, and there's always something to fix. As far as the fuel tank goes, good luck. Electrical stuff is usually a pain to diagnose. Worst case, install a sight glass or stick a tape measure in it every once in a while for level check. You know apx how many hours a tank should last.

Sure, but trans people... don't. Not when we're in the closet anyway. I think our spouses get used to how we are when we're in denial and hate ourselves just SO much that we always put others first. Then when our egg cracks, we're suddenly "selfish" because we don't make our SOs the absolute center of our universe anymore and want things for ourselves.

 

I'm still bad at this. I had a bit of a windfall (I sold my body to science for a drug test) and decided that I'd spend half of it and put the other half in the bank. I got something for my mom. I got something for my SO. Yesterday I FINALLY got something for me, but only because it was on sale.

 

Self-love for trans people can be kind of a struggle sometimes.

 

Hugs!

I always used to wonder what all that "Pride" stuff was about, Gay Pride, LGBT Pride. .but pride is the opposite of SHAME.

And shame followed me around since I can remember, even shame about my accomplishments and talents. It colored my perception and every decision I made. SHAME corroded my sense of even actually existing. It slowly chokes off everything that makes life worthwhile, a sort of curse, a living death. SHAME says you deserve less and less, it aims to deprive whoever else is around, too.

 

But I am now among family and friends who understand my SHAME and can lovingly lead out of the darkness. I don't need to live that way anymore.

So Be It.

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.   
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".
