Home crumbed chicken schnitzel, with scalloped potatoes, peas & corn. We try to plan our dinner meals ahead for the week, so getting in early - tomorrow night will be lamb chump chops baked in the oven with a honey/soy marinade. In the same dish will be potato and pumpkin segments. The other veges will be string beans and cauliflower. -

Yep. I sometimes get busy on another forum which has a wide array of general interest subforums. Everything from politics to tech to money to sport. There have been plenty of times where I have quoted people and given examples which demonstrate why their posts were either bollocks or at least tangential to the thread title, only to have my reply hidden because it was deemed to be off-topic...yet their off-topic post that I quoted remained intact! Freedom of speech per se should be upheld, BUT...is it just me, or does it sometimes seem like the biggest proponents of it prioritize their 'rights' over their responsibilities? Maybe it is just me, but does anyone else feel like there is a cohort of people out there (not here!) who defend their hate speech under the guise of free speech? Whether it be on an internet forum or in real life, there must be rules and regulations. Our moderators here do a truly fantastic job, and this forum really is a rare treasure. What helps is that above everything that does get discussed including the differing opinions at times on non-core issues, we are all on the same side! -

Good morning everyone, It’s a dog life thing, with a puppy influence. We slept until 06:00 at which time Parker made his first soft bark from inside his crate. I got up and got ready to go outside so he could take care of business and potty. Then we played with his favorite toy 🧸 and tug of war and fetch. Coffee has finished brewing and my first cup is flavorful Folgers Black Silk. I hope you have a wonderful day and can be who you were meant to be. Hugs, Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

In the U.S. Monday is Memorial Day. Do you celebrate and/or honor those who served? -

Self-compassion is simply the process of turning compassion inward. We're kind and understanding rather than harshly self-critical when we fail, make mistakes, or feel inadequate. We give ourselves support and encouragement rather than being cold or judgmental when challenges and difficulties arise in our lives. -

Well, I'll mention a few generalities from web-land that are not necessarily specific to this forum. Here's some things that can possibly happen: Disagree with somebody's policy and you just get silenced and eventually disappeared. Stuff you write vanishes into thin air (and it ain't AI). Threads get shut down for not being "on topic" (a catch-all for when no other rule can be quoted and somebody with power just doesn't agree with you.) Or if you have a disagreement with somebody (or a few somebodies), they get to mostly say whatever they want, but you get censored. When it happens over and over again, it has the effect of eventually turning forums into echo chambers. Some really good forums on the web have withered and vanished over the years because of this. I have also noticed that the American portion of the internet is increasingly bifurcated, as each partisan side attempts greater control of their own turf. Given that we're all humans, nobody will have the "absolute" answer to this stuff. Only more questions, and plenty of philosophy. I think that one way to measure the health of a forum is to see how acceptable it is to ask questions about policies and their enforcement. Publicly. And regarding specific instances as they occur, rather than generalities with specifics kept in the shadows. -

Hi @Madelyn Rain - nice to meet you and Welcome! To answer your question, when I first talked to my Dr about HRT I was in 'boy-mode" - partly because I was not socially out to anybody yet and was not dressing publicly. But my Dr was very accepting and understanding. He knew I had been in gender therapy for a couple of years and this was likely the next step. He noted my preferred name, and my gender pronouns (she/her). He updated my records to indicate this and referred to me as she/her in my medical records. My experience was very positive and I hope yours is also. Congratulations on your decision to start HRT. Deep breaths .. One step at a time
