Good morning brought to you by  Costco coffee dark and bold.

 

yes it is good to see young people who stay together.  Unfortunately I have two young friends who are going through difficult times including divorce with kids involved.  It’s to the point in one case where birth mom has become violent and aggressive because mommy caught her cheating then recorded the “violence” clearly showing mommy only tried to get away, while mom chased, pulled hair and demanded that a phone be given to her.  Then after mom was arrested she went to a different county and filed charges against mommy.  Mean time 3 year old wants mommy and has started having accidents again.  Particularly difficult situation.  Charges were dismissed on mommy but mom keeps asking that dcs postpone hearings on custody.

Sorry I haven't been to talkative lately. I've been diagnosed with influenza A. Haven't worked since Sunday, off till next Tues.  Just have been sleeping and drinking water.  I think our youngest has it too.

 

My wife has had a worry also. He father was diagnosed with back, lung and liver cancer in April.  He is currently in the hospital with covid and he has pretty much given up. Last she told me not doing to good.  So, our life has been all peachy.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

Hello everyone 

 

@KymmieL sorry to hear you have the flu, and sorry to hear your father-in-law is doing so poorly.

 

l’ e been having a terrible time lately with my GERD.  I’m taking my pills as prescribed but if I don’t watch very carefully I’ll end up eating something that triggers it.  
 

our dog had her annual visit with the vet. $250 and four shots later she was pronounced fit as a fiddle.  
 

We are dodging Nichol right now.  We are getting rain from the outer bands and high surf and tide warnings.  Wind no greater than 40 unless we have a tornado.  The center of whatever is left of Nichol is supposed to be west of us tonight.

 

so spending a quiet day at home, keeping dry.

To all my fellow Veterans, thank you for your service.  Regardless of what you did, or where you did it, remember each and everyone of us served our country for the benefit of all.

Thank you. It was my pleasure, and I'd do it again.

I had a wonderful evening tonight. A bunch of girlfriends got together for a clothing swap. A lot of wine and laughter later I got a nice pair of pants. Girlfriends are the best!

Shout out to all veteran's hope you had a blessed day.

 

Thank you, @Cynthia on behalf of veterans everywhere. I was going to say something yesterday about Veterans' Day, but words failed me. It's a pretty emotional day. Finally, at 2 AM this morning, I was able to put something down. After 24 years of service I walked with many heroes-I'm not one of them, I just served with them. One of these heroes is a man I've known, worked for and become fast friends with since 1988. It's been a long run without further ado, and an unlikely one, but very special. I'm not going to talk about our service, just share my journal entry from today. To all my comrades, thank you. Every one of you that served ahs sacrificed so much. You are all heroes.

 

So, without further ado, here's what I finally came up with. Lest we forget:

 

I took yesterday off for Veterans’ Day. It’s sort of a custom I have. Another is that Kim Jones and I always share coffee and/or breakfast on Veterans’ Day. This year it was lingering over coffee at a local place--the Driftwood Cafe. It’s a small, church run coffee shop and the coffee pretty darned good.

 

Kim and I always raise a glass to absent comrades, and I quietly offer up a silent prayer for all those who have gone before. Veterans’ Day is pretty special, as it honors those who have given their lives for the freedom and protection of their comrades, their countrymen and the ideals that are cherished here. The Bible teaches us, in the very words of Christ, “Truly I tell you; greater love has no one that this. That they lay down their lives for their friends.” That’s a pretty big deal and words to live by.

 

Looking back, we can remember the bad times; the sacrifices--living in a tent in January on a glacier in Alaska; missing the birth of a first child because of being deployed; the fear of entering combat. The list goes on and on. But, what makes it worthwhile in a personal sense are the friendships we make the funny stories we can tell and the memories we cherish deep in our hearts and only peek at a couple of times a years.

 

The toast Kim and I always make is, "To absent comrades, and to living." Thanks to all who have served and sacrificed.

Good morning 

 

@rachel w WOW!  Glad you are better now.  That sounds pretty scary.

 

5am this morning I thought I might have to go to the ER. When I get stung I get anaphylactic.  My first sign, besides getting stung is that the bottoms of my feet itch uncontrollably.  Nothing in my home medical kit helps.  Well, I woke up with my hands feeling just like that.  I didn’t know what it could be as I knew I hadn’t been stung.  Cortozone did nothing but my second idea was lidocaine.  That eventually helped.  I didn’t know if I should inject Epipen or not.  Injecting means a required er trip.  Still not entirely normal but no longer concerned.  I’ll have to see how it goes as the day wears on.  
 

80s yesterday 40s today.  That’s fall around here.  Too warm?  Wait a day or two and vice versa

 

have a great day

 

Willow

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      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.

      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.
