I ended up swapping the handle out with a chain  shoulder strap right before I walked out the door.

You have real talent!  This is beautiful, both the style and craftsmanship are on point!  People would buy the *&*! Out of those!  I'm not joking...  give yourself at the VERY least 30 bucks an hour then multiply that by the hour it takes for a project plus cost of materials then multiply that by 1.5. 

 

I hope the last part didn't come off as condescending and mansplain-y. It's just that I'm a craftsman and I know how easy it is to undervalue your work and how hard it can be for me to ask for what I'm worth.  

 

Oh, and I loved that dress your partner got for you... gorgeous!  I appreciate your style in general, kudos.

@Erica Gabriel, you look like one those real sweet old ladies you occasionally meet when shopping.  Like...you're smiling, you look relaxed, your outfit says "casual but classy," and you've been shopping at wherever you are long enough to probably know where things are better than the employees.  Totally love it!

Me and the wife had a pretty good laugh about this last night. She now calls me her “old lady”. Too most younger folks I’m ancient.

Thank you, except for the “old” part 🤪

Oh nooooo!  So totally didn't mean it that way!  Now I feel bad.  ;_;  I'll just be over here in the corner. 🧏‍♀️

I’ll let you know when you can come out of “time out” 🤣. It was taken in good humor. No worries ❤️

I got a couple new sweaters and a friend bought me a pair of boots. I wore this to an LGBT group tonight. Just ignore the dog beds in the background.

Very nice @Elizabeth Star!  I need some boots like that.  Love the sweater to, but I think you're pulling those colors off way better than I could.  And did you do your nails yourself or go somewhere to have them done?  I could always use tips for the nails.  Mine are horrific, but no where near as clear and clean as yours look there.  Also, are the pants leggings or just a skinny fit cut sort of deal?  I really need to consider doing something with my hair...  You're like the 4th or 5th person in the past few days that was sharing pictures sporting colors.  It looks so nice!

Here's my latest efforts.  I was a little stir crazy and wanted to get out for a bit.  The only issue I have is with the hoodie.  Not for any negative reason, I love to wear it.  It's just way to warm/hot down here (I'm in Florida) like 98% of the time for wearing it to be a viable option.  Given how easily and excessively I tend to sweat, I can't get away with this as often as I would like to.

Been a little while since I posted any pics here, but this is a couple from yesterday. I love the look of jeggings/jeans but due to my "apple" shape I really struggle to keep them up even though I have a belt (I only buy jeans/jeggings that have belt loops). For this reason I tend to prefer dresses.

I usually wear a lot of black but have been trying to wear other colors. I got my nails done for the first time last weekend. I've never had them this long before. I like them but it's a real challenge to type and almost impossible to text. The bottoms are just cheap active wear leggings. I rarely wear jeans anymore.

You gals make me a bit jealous.  You look lovely!

I'm sitting here in long undies, jeans and chamois cloth shirt before bundling up and heading out to do chores and prepare for an incoming storm.  Tomorrow similar layers with insulated Cahart coveralls under coats.  I'll be sitting on an open tractor plowing snow.  I do have a lovely pink down jacket i may use as a top layer.  Oh well , the sheep don't care how i look as long as they get food and water.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

I have been seriously considering getting my nails done.  The psoriasis is frustrating though.  It has stunted their growth and left them more brittle.  And I am totally  with you on darker pallets.  I usually fo with sapphire or emerald.  I make exceptions for pink though.  Gotta have my pink.   I don’t know if I could wear the active ware as well as you are.  Still going to try though. 🤗

Loving the looks you have going on!  Is that *your* or something like a wig?  Definitely a fan of it either way.  The way you have it put up.  Your look as a whole is wonderful!  That coat also looks super comfy.  I’m slightly jealous though. 😂

 

You are pulling off that shirt in the second picture with grace and that “classy but casual” look.  I seriously doubt I could get it to work for me like it is for you.

It's one of many wigs. But it wasn't until recently that a wig specialist showed me how I can style a wig in a number of ways. There are limitations, but there are quite a few different ways I can have my shoulder length wigs. In this case it was held up at the back into a short pony tail using a scrunchie.

I agree with @Charlize

Everyone looks great. I’m about to go out and clear the sidewalks and driveway of snow. It’s 20•F here so it’s about warmth not fashion this morning.

Quit the job I was hating yesterday. Still going in for a couple of weeks to take care of a client because I said I would but... behold! One of the few remaining pictures of me in my work garb!

Congrats, @Jackie C. !!!

Courage in action. Way to go!

Look for that new window to open—it'll bring you better things. Doing what you love tends to do that.

Hugs,

That's great @Jackie C.

I'm partially retired, having started my Teamsters and CLTL pensions. My business partner and I have agreed to keep our small two person company going strong in 2022, but once I reach full SS retirement age. I'm out of here.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,

Snap - I quit my job today. Loved the job but fed up with my requests for some small recognition for my contribution to their profits being recognised. Not had a pay rise in 12 years! I chose time of leaving to be at the most critical stage of a major project. Be interesting to see what they say. But I shall be very happy to throw any last minute offers back in their faces. I'm choosing retirement instead. I love your hair by the way and it's cosy casual look you've got going.

      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".

      Been taking it real easy.Another good neighbor of mine and his 15 year old son came over and cut down a couple dead trees on my property.Knew not to do it taking it easy.I had them put the wood near my fire pit in the back yard.Did it and happy where they put it.They knew I had stents put in and needed to take it easy
    • Ashley0616
      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
