Well....................................

Lizzy and I went to Wells Fargo today to cash in an annuity that I have......

She has other money set aside, as well ........

Please don't say "You're lucky"......

Why? Because "Luck" had nothing to do with it......

I started this annuity 20 years ago and worked tons of overtime and didn't take a vacation for 7 years...

And now....we're finally going to get our SRS....

When I called my "Financial Adviser" , she said "You need to save this money for when you're old and need it.....

DUuuuuhhhh....

I'm 62 and Lizzy is 64.........we're old....

We need it......It's time for our SRS.......

It's our time.....period!

God how I love your posts, and Lizzy's to. I'm so happy for you. I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences. Pity the poor nurses. They don't know you girls like we do <VBG>. Hurry home and take care of each other. Kathryn

I was gonna say, Dee Jay, not to spend it all in one place.

But, well, you're gonna spend it all in one place. :D

Better than putting it on the Pass line in a Vegas casino craps table, I'd say. Because you and Lizzie are guaranteed winners.

Actually Dee Jay hasn't even gotten the money yet and she already went on a Lady Bug buying spree.

We are going to have to keep her in a Lady Bug free zone until the surgery.

Love ya,

It's called working your butt off. It's called making sacrifices. It's called prudent planning.

Like, 'nuff said! You don't owe an explanation to anybody, girl. It's YOUR capital to use freely.

You've chosen your surgeon. You've got confidence in him (assuming it's a him). You're good to go.

Actually, I saw in one of your recent SRS threads where you mentioned that you're NOT using some cut-rate doctor. Hey, nobody said you were, as far as I know. You found a way to finance your surgery, made the deal (or arrangement with whoever), saw the surgeon to get your clearance and, I'm assuming, make a good-faith deposit. What's not to like? All systems are go!

Those on here who want SRS/GRS should keep in mind that ANYTHING can be financed. Okay, most really good SRS surgeons want cashe on the barrel head. Many of them don't accept insurance. No biggie. People can arrange financing terms and conditions with third parites (like you did with your annuity in this case), make the deal, get the funds, pay the surgeon and have the surgery. My point is that it's POSSIBLE and most of us can do it!

Need money for SRS? Make like Donald Trump, think possibilities, make the deal and get it done! Think it can't be done? It CAN be done! Dee Jay found a way. Most of you can too! As for me, I'll most likely not have SRS/GRS. I waffle back on forth on the issue. Anybody who waffles about it most likely SHOULD NOT have the surgery. That's just me.

Those of you that WANT the surgery CAN find a way to have it. Yes, you CAN!

Believe :friends: Lacey

Oh, yeah:

Think The Loy-Jenkins SRS Express is about to roll! Alright! Congrats! All aboard! Roll 'em!

Financial advisors...... yeah some punk who has no idea.........

Ignore the punk, and do what you need to do with your money.

It is your money afterall. The punk has nothing meaningful to say. That punk represents the bank's interests., not yours.

Love

It's all arranged ...it's our money....

It's a perfect deal.... The SRS will be in a major medical facility (USA) and with a very experienced doctor....

Are we excited and happy?

HELL YEAH!

It's the end of this portion of our transition....

It's not the end, though.....

Much to go.....

....and I still need to collect those fees from all those other mods.....(tell ya latter)

If I had ignored my financial adviser and not left my money in his so charming hands I'd have top surgery and skin reduction scheduled for next week already. And he might have had to wait awhile longer to retire I suspect. Lost over 100K that way.

I'd spend my last penny and count it well lost -if I had one instead of my financial adviser having it :)-to get top surgery. Beats spending it on nursing homes and Depends some day anyway.

Go for it girls.

How often do you get to have a lifelong dream come true and how could anyone ever put a price on it?

I am so deeply happy for you both

      Good morning Mia,   This is a great question, and I'm looking forward to the input from others.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Mia Marie
      I see more and more postings with what the LGBTQ support organizations are doing and I see less and less about helping the older generation of us. All I really see is them wanting to help transgender youths and no matter how many times I ask for help, they tell me they can't help or they tell me the office I contacted only works with the youth only. Is there an organization that helps older transgender people? All I find when I do a search turns out with nothing more than talking about trans youths. I feel as though us older trasn folks are being left out. I applied for financial help in a form of a grant, twice, and was turned down with no explanations of why. They did ask me to help go over applications which told me I was automatically denied. Really doesn't seem fair, does it?

      Require students to use bathrooms that align with the gender they were assigned at birth Prohibit transgender girls in seventh grade or older from participating in girls sports or other girls-only activities  Ban gender-affirming health care — including surgery or hormone treatment — for transgender students under age 18, even if parents consent or the treatment is recommended by a doctor Require schools to notify parents if students change their pronouns or otherwise signal they identify as a gender other than what’s on their official student records Doesn't look like it "protects" anybody.  It actually is about restricting trans kids rights.   The ways politicians name their bills etc. is a farce.  Most of the time they do the opposite of what they're called.

      Thank you @VickySGVfor locating and posting this document. I'm saving it as a PDF on my laptop. I'll move it to my iPad later.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      There's a lot of bad information out there.  People like the sensational stuff, whether it's true or not.   Too many people live in a news/opinion bubble.  My ex's late husband kept Fox News on 24/7.  It was always there in the background of their life.  There is something about "trans" stuff every day, and always negative.

      Good morning everyone,   Head Cold and body aches are reduced today. @April Marie I'm glad you're feeling better too. Good luck timing the lawn care with the weather. @Willow It's good to hear that your wife is on the mend, and you may make it to Salt Lake City. I'm sadden to here about Tattoo Tom.   This is very good news @Adrianna Danielle   @Ashley0616 I hope you find the right hair removal service in a convenient location.   I'm on my second cup of coffee, and we're expecting rain this afternoon and evening.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well, I can not say good morning today.  The world has lost a loving, caring man that gave his all for others that are suffering.  I do not have details, however Tattoo Tom of Stillbrave Childhood Cancer Organization has gone on to be with his daughter Shala and my Granddaughter Daphne and all the other kids with cancer and their families he tried to help.  You can Google the organization and it will tell you his story and what they do.  He used to run in Ultra marathons to raise money.  He was scheduled to run in the Moab 240 later this year.  Each mile is dedicated to a child.  You can see Daphne’s story on mile 233 and Shala is always the last mile.     if you have a few dollars to spare please make a donation.  The work of 5he organization will continue but it will not be the same without Tom.   Well on a better note, I learned last night that I can attend the Salt Lake City gathering of the Presbyterian Church USA in Salt Lake City. As a guest of our minister.  If I can get there I am going to try to go.  I am just waiting to hear from my son to learn if there are blackout days around the date I need to be there.  And I realize the bigger issue could be getting home so I do have th weigh the risk against the opportunity.   Thank you all for your concerns and prayers regarding my wife’s recent back surgery and my concerns about my voice.  My wife is definitely on the mend.   well I guess I need to get a move on it is later that I realized.   Willow
