Good morning everyone, It's 11°F clear, and the sun is just rising. The coffee is brewing, and I've started a fire in the shop wood stove. It's going to take a lot longer to be comfortable out there. My business partner is up from The Villages in Florida, he's under dressed for this weather. Fortunately for him he'll be spending the day with our CPA doing the business taxes. Yesterday he sat and watched me weld pipe hangers together, then assemble pipe sections for one of our training props. He was supersized when I passed him a hand held welding shield. He had never watched the welding process, and said it was like using a glue gun with sparks and molten metal. We discussed the future direction, and activity of the company as we're both getting older. Hugs for you all, Mindy🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

@Willow even if it doesn't work, how cool to have an antique clock that belonged to your grandfather!!!!!! And, the memories it must evoke. How awesome! -

I don't hear many taking about messaging the scalp which is what I have been doing for my m2f daughter who is 15 now. Along with her taking biotin, blockers and now estrogen, her hair is among the fullest of any girl is her class adn she has been able to grow it to her lower back. Best of luck to all of you, you can only try your best and make sure you can do all you can. -

I identify with a lot of what you say. My parents just weren't affectionate with me. They were affectionate with my older brothers, and to some extent with my sister because she is the youngest, but I was mostly left out. My sister and I are very close, and we were each other's sources of physical contact and warmth. I didn't really have an idea of what normal parental affection looks like until joining my forever family and watching my husband and my female partners with their kids. As an adult (sort of....as I dislike adulting), I'm probably needy and codependent. When nervous, I immediately seek a partner to cling to and a lap to curl up on. I can't imagine the pain of a breakup...that kind of loss would not be something I could survive. -

That got me thinking. I don't believe I had my parents tell me I Love you. When my mom started about 3 years ago. It seemed strange but nice. It seems that the love was there, just not open. My grandfather was the smartest man I have ever known. Showed me a lot. Being I was the only grandson. (I was back then, I guess.) I guess that my life has been screwed up for a while now. I just want to know where the rewind button is?? Anyone? Hugs to my friends, Kymmie -

First off, good on you to speak up and speak out, especially to folks who may or may not be allies or supportive of those under the trans umbrella. Doing so takes courage. I've spoken before audiences of primarily Gay & Lesbian folks, sometimes in a training setting, but sometimes in more casual situations. It really has depended on the setting and the kinds of questions I and other trans speakers receive. I try to explain about that "umbrella" business, and how that's much different than being either Gay or Lesbian; more amorphous, more controversial in some ways, and much less easier to define. Even trans folk can't agree on definitions. The important thing, for me, is stressing what we all have in common, and what our common goals are, and have always been; educating the general public, creating understanding, creating allies, reducing the hate. That's common ground, and that we should all be able to agree on. Carolyn Marie -

There were always examples, but not like you see them today. Things were kept quiet and people lived their lives out of the public eye. That went for all alternative lifestyles. At the machine shop my dad worked for, and I later worked at, there was a Lesbian couple who ultimately retired from there. I knew of them since I was very young, and somewhat understood what was going on, but nothing was really ever made of it, or really talked about it. They quietly lived their lives. I mean the term Gay was rarely spoken. I remember my mother referring to Gay Males as a "Man's Man". I wonder how many here has heard that term. I have not heard it myself in at least 40 years.

I was kind of called out to speak for non-binary people today. It was a mixed LGBT group, but few were trans or non-binary like me. My friend who would have had a great answer, couldn't be there. I kept it brief so I wouldn't misspeak too much, but it was hard to speak to folks with 50 years experience as gay, but none with non-binary people. What should I have said? What would you do? Thanks, Davie -

@Marcie Jensen one of my most prized possessions is a mantle clock. I knew the clock as belonging to my grandfather as a child. The clock was passed on to me. It has a mercury weighted pendulum, chimes the hour, the each quarter hour. I learned that it was a wedding present to my grandparents and dates to around 1900. Unfortunately, my mother decided it needed some attention and took it to a clock maker. I don’t know what he did but it hasn’t worked since. I’d like like to see and hear it work again but I really don’t know who I can trust to be able to fix it, and I’d rather have it whole but not working than a pile of parts. I have two even older pocket watches and a Scottish spinning wheel from around 1800 but the clock is number one in my heart probably because of the intense love between my grandfather and myself when I was little. (Tearing up) and he died in 1957. Willow -
