Wow never really thought about that but depending on my mood it could either be something like Limp Bizkit's My Way or Carrie Underwood's Jesus Take The Wheel. I know they are totally opposite from each other but like I said it depends on the mood.

Visions - Eagles

Every time I hear it, it takes me away from here and then sends me along with a smile.

Anything by Alice Cooper or AC/DC.

Specifically, Feed My Frankenstein, Hells Bells, Highway to Hell, House of Fire.

When I was running in competition I'd have Respighi's Pines of the Appian Way from his Pines of Rome playing on my Walkman. Really got me over the hump and helped my finish.

But the one that gives me the most confidence is Rick Nelson's Garden Party, "See ya' can't please everybody, so you got to please yourself." Rick had the last laugh. I hope I will as well.

Arise by Flyleaf always seems to get me in a good place.

Bulletproof by Kerli for when I need to feel a little stronger emotionally.

There are many other songs that can get me in a generally happy, excited mood such as Riot by Three Days Grace.

And then I have Kesha for when everything else fails. Her songs are always just plain fun for me. :P

'Move Along'

by the All-American Rejects (AAR)

Note: I deliberately avoided the official clip, because it's dangerous for people who are epileptic...

When all you got to keep is strong,

Move along, move along, like I know you do.

And even when your hope is gone,

Move along, move along, just to make it through!

Odd, I'm quite sure he said 'mow the lawn', when I first heard this song... :huh:

Depends on my mood, when I am feeling really down, I would play something very dark and melodic by The Cure, like "Edge of the deep, deep, green sea" or "Last day of summer". Otherwise, anything by Tori Amos, the early stuff from R.E.M., Sarah Mclaughlin, Soiuxie and The Banshees.

Way cool selections Therisa !

Sarah Mclaughlin is such a Goddess.

And of course there is "Christine" The Strawberry Girl on Kaleidoscope, just dig that record, the phase shift effect in the end, was always cool.

"Kyrie Eleison" means "Lord, have mercy"

Now, I may be Agnostic, but that phrase really boosts my confidence...

Kyrie Eleison

Down the road that I must travel

Kyrie Eleison

First of all, yay for The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees <3 I'm particularly fond of "The Same Deep Water As You", "Trust", and "All Cats are Grey" (and "Charlotte Sometimes", obviously!), and anything from Kaleidoscope for Siouxsie and co. :)

But when I used to lack confidence, I liked to listen to louder songs and jump around to them a bit... maybe something like this (I wonder why? ;)):

and also Green Day's "Platypus (I Hate You)", but I don't think the clip would be brilliantly appropriate for this forum for some reason XD

I love music, so there's alot of songs that get me fired up. I have my fight songs (called that for obvious reasons) My mellow songs, my "i wanna party" songs. lol.

One though kinda sums up my life to this point pretty well, and it's T.I.'s No Matter What.

I could quote the whole song because the lyrics are really powerful but one really notable part is

Yeah, and I hope the picture painted clear

If ya heart filled with faith then ya can't fear.

I recently realized that I subconsciously put a ton of "be okay with yourself" type songs in my iPod...

Two examples are: In the Middle by Jimmy Eat World and Pork and Beans by Weezer

I like those songs a lot, but I sooo didn't realize when I put them in. It was kind of a funny day when I realized :P

(I ask for the moderators indulgence, as the lyrics have been retrieved from battlestarwiki.org, which states they have permission to show the lyrics.

Thus, I assume their use in this post to be Fair Use.)

I have a love for some soundtracks from movies or Tv series, because I think music requires something... 'atmospheric' to be truly worth listening to.

Now, I'm a fan of the second series of Battlestar Galactica, and I've got the soundtracks for both the miniseries, as well as the four main seasons.

The first season soundtrack has a very nice song, sung in Irish Gaelic, called "Wander my friends":

Lyrics in Irish Gaelic:

Siúlaigí a chairde, siúlaidh liom

Mar cheo an tsléibhe uaine ag

imeacht go deo

D'ainneoin ár dtuirse leanfam an tslí

Thar chnoic is thar ghleannta

go deireadh na scríbi

Seo libh a chairde is canaidh liom

Líonaigí'n oíche le greann is le spórt

Seo sláinte na gcarad atá imithe uainn

Mar cheo an tsléibhe uaine,

iad imithe go deo

Lyrics, translated to English:

Wander my friends, wander with me

Like the mist on the green mountain, moving eternally

Despite our weariness

we'll follow the road

Over hill and and valleys

to the end of the journey

Come on my friends and sing with me

Fill the night with joy and sport

Here's a toast to the friends who have gone from us

Like the mist of the green mountain,

gone forever

This song is 2011's Dutch entry to the EuroVision Song Festival, and I think it's a really uplifting song:

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      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".

      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.
