Sally's Thought For The Day


Sally

Recommended Posts

Sometimes being yourself isn't that hard and it is never a bad thing.

I know that isn't funny or particularly clever but it is something that we all need to know.

Love ya,

Sally

KNOWING what you are takes time - and you will take many detours, have to back up and reroute in a different direction, over and over.

ACCEPTING what you are usually takes a sudden flash of insight and a lot of faith in your own self-worth - trusting yourself to the point of thinking "I am just fine being what I am," which incidently produces such a relief afterward, you'll just KNOW it is the right thing.

EXPLAINING what you are is tricky - it can be done to the satisfaction of some people, but other times it just doesn't work. The key to remember is - understanding by others is an option you seek - not a requirement. If they reject your explanation - it is their loss not yours. And if you did the explaining honestly, and with a self assurance - it's THEIR FAULT, not yours, if they cannot at least give you support and encouragement.

People really don't need to truly understand, they just need to love you, love you for yourself.

...............

So my thought thought for today.

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF - nothing else matters, and people will see that.

What is the dumbest question that you can ask a middle aged transperson?

Can you keep a secret?

What is the SMARTEST question that you can ask a middle aged MTF transperson?

What are you now, 30 - 32 years old?

Love ya

How is it possible that Chevy, GM, Ford, Dodge and Toyoto all make the best selling, toughest trucks with the biggest hauling capacity and power?

If this is possible then we only need one podium at the Olympics.

we're number one through five!

Don't ever ask me if you may borrow a tissue - the thought of its condition upon its return is not an image that I want to have with me.

So just ask me if I would give you a tissue - I will.

Love ya,

Sally - the tissue gifter

I promise I won't.

Do you feel the same way about money?

:lol:

Love you

I don't know, I've never had any!

If 90% of what you worry about never happens, shouldn't we all spend a lot more time worrying about a lot more stuff?

Love ya,

Well it has been a year and four months since I had my last thought - you would think that this one would be really good.......don't get your hopes up.

I was wondering if I had the wrong version of the gospels - in all of mine the three wise men give their gifts to the Christ child but according to our current traditions it would seem that they simply exchanged their gifts with each other and left the Christ child out of it in the first place.

Love ya,

In listening to the Republican debates and noticing all of the changes of positions and attitudes I started wondering, is Mitt Romney an oximormon?

Love ya,

You got it half right Sally. But your word is too long :)

As a Democrat I sincerely hope he gets the nomination.

How about that donation of millions to the Mormon church and the position that the fact that the 1% have the majority of wealth in this country should be discussed privately but isn't right for public debate? Of course if I were in that 1% with him I'd agree.

This may be my first flat out political statement on the forums-or one of the few anyway.

Just couldn't resist. Think I'll go tape my fingers together so they don't get me in trouble. Or more trouble. :D

Love ya Sally

Work is what you do to make a living while occupying so much of your time that you cannot have a life.

All those previous glass half full/half empty thoughts seem pretty irelevent to me. Either way,there is clearly room for more vodka.

I have always wondered about this people who 'are not themselves' before they have their morning coffee - who are they at that time and what about the person they are being - do they have to drink that first cup of coffee simultaneously in order to each get back to the right body?

If so that could work out to be a better way than HRT and SRS if you could just not be yourself in the 'right' body and give up coffee.

Love ya,

Sally

The ORIGINAL coffee joke;

Waitress! This coffee tastes like MUD!

Sir! That's strange, it was GROUND this morning!

Lizzie,never heard that one before,so I had a laugh while drinking my morning (instant) coffee. That tastes like mud. :D

Sally,perhaps its because I just woke up,but that's some serious brain bending there. :P. Perhaps I should go back to bed,everything was much clearer there. :)

Things always seem to be clearer and make a lot more sense than they do when you are awake.

One thought against same sex marriages - just like any other marriage, they do come with all of the trappings - including In-laws!

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.
