all I can say is wow! Everyone has come such a long way in the year I've been here.

So true Liz, it’s real encouraging to look back at several threads. I would also say to anyone just joining the Forum, to take the look around advice seriously to see the progress made by others.

 

Hugs,

Cool and rainy here too so not very exciting of a day.

I did find some house slippers and two pair of black boots at Goodwill.

Someone just sent me this little pic.  I played with two different bands on Saturday, so that means...

Two Outfits!   No, three.  I also carefully pick out a cute load-in outfit too, so I don't spoil my show clothes.  That makes for a fun day for this little fashion bug.  Oh yeah, my job is fun too, but everything I do now relates to transition somehow.  I'm starting to think I may just fully transition right on stage...a thought that would have mortified me a year ago.  But, as many of you know, transitioning doesn't leave much room for being embarrassed.  Being in alignment with my true self has given me confidence I could never come near just using my will power.  I've worked with this group for ten years and our Facebook page has thousands of friends...might as well go big.  ?‍♀️

 

I always wanted to be a hot chick guitarist...I may be on my way.  ? ?

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, been a complicated few weeks with holidays, work and domestic things all diverting my attention. There's been lots of wonderful posts since I last looked. This is my working (from home) outfit today...

Thank you! One downside is that I have no idea how I'm going to pee. Took the addition of gloves to heart though, the dress is short-sleeved, so I went lace up to my elbows. I'd LIKE to go longer but, well, I have long arms.

 

Hugs!

Thanks everybody! I got a lot of compliments on it while I was at work today.

 

The answer to the pee question was, "With great difficulty." Cape and dress up and out of the way, keep hat on, deal with leggings, pray it's not already too late, Do your business, then put everything back together without dipping it into the toilet or my nethers. Something you don't have to worry about when you're presenting male. When I was presenting male I had zero items of clothing I had to worry about dipping in the toilet. Now they're multiplying. Still totally worth transitioning, but definitely something that should be added to the list of, "Things you didn't really expect and nobody will tell you about."

 

Hugs!

      Pity that we can't just respect each other and get along.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
