@Mmindy you are soooo right about needing a hug sometimes.  It's amazing how the warmth of an embrace can be relaxing and fulfilling.

My mother's side of the family has always been a hugging family. From oldest to youngest. If you were at a family gathering, you walked around to everyone and got a loving hug. When anyone started to leave it was like running the gauntlet receiving hugs goodby from everyone again. I still hug my son when I see him, even at the firehouse where he's the Boss.

 

Warmest of Hugs to you.

That's funny. My parents basically didn't touch me from age three to today. Everybody in my family is like that. No casual touching.

 

I like to be touched. A lot. Lasting trauma from that though. I don't know how to initiate in adulthood but I crave human contact.

 

There are days when I wonder if I'd have any personality at all without the tragic backstory. I'm like Doctor Doofenshmirtz. Which I spelled right on my first try. Go me!

 

Hugs!

Hugs weren't part of my past and rarely even now.

See? I'm working to change that. It's not right. People NEED to be touched.

 

Hugs!

Jackie, my all time favorite hug is from my Best Friend & Kidney Recipient. He's a big manly man and West Point Grad. I'm not out to him yet, but when he hugs me he grabs me in his arms, leans back, picking me up off my feet. The tells me he loves me. (In a Blood Brother sort of way). He doesn't embrace another person like that at all. He one arm bro hugs everyone else in his family.

 

I hope you find the circle of hugs you want.

I prefer hugs from my lesbian friends, but I get where you're coming from. To each their own.

 

Hugs!

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @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.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      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?
    • Ashley0616
      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.

      Thank you!

      sound  nice ...I been using a sleep bra with soft forms from knitted knockers..send a donation if you use them..I just sent my preferred size etc..works ok..gives my chest break from silicone touching..   how far back should I look to see about the ones you're using from Susan?   hugs

      As I read this one, it is only for school bathrooms.  I hope he has signed a bill to triple the number of "security monitors" on the campuses and up their pay considerably, not to mention some other costly stuff.  Only way is for every school employee, to know the birth certificate information of each student by memory which will require 3 additional months of salary for them all.  It appears the enforcement relies on parental reports obtained from their children which opens so much up.  The kids will end up ALL with wet or soiled underwear while the parents go at each other with weapons over "family honor" over false calls based on childish name calling.

      I agree. This law is impractical and impossible to evenly enforce without such ridiculous measures in place. What it will do is stigmatize the trans community in Oklahoma and nothing more but ofc, that’s the only point of it.   If I was in that state and needed a restroom, there’s no chance I’d ever step foot in the men’s restroom because of some law. I know I’m not alone in that thinking. This law won’t stand the test of time.

      I asked AI to create an image of myself 30 years younger based off my avatar on another site and this was the result:     Wow! I am amazed how close it got my 30 year old face!

      Quite true.  The amusing thing about opposites is how similar they can be.   My family left Greece because of the conflict between the communists and the militarists/fascists.
