A Warm Hello from a Chilly Location!

Megan Rose, warm hugs to you! :friends: Wow! You have had a lot to deal with recently. You have great inner strength. :)

Your dress and pumps sound quite pretty! Can feel your excitement about your outfit!

You have quite a bit to attend to yet. I hope you feel our love and support!

Johnny, I am with you, as I have no idea why people get bored. Life is so busy! I find it difficult to find time to sign in here, esp lately.

Lizzie, Kay, Jody... fun humor! Thanks! :lol:

Cynthia, Wow! Great opportunities to play! It's great you feel no GD when playing in the band! I love to hear live bands! Nice that gentleman held the door for you, too! :D Have you worn that green top on stage?

I probably missed someone(s) in the thread. My apologies. I am in a hurry this morning and wanted to comment here.

((((((((((( Group Hug )))))))))))))))

Love, Healing, Joy to All!

Brad

Hi Cindy,

Yes, our trip to the pizzaria was once again significant. Not sure why that place creates those special moments, but it hasn't failed us yet. I've got a silly grin glued to my face this morning - it was so good to get together!

Hi Brad,

If there's any quality in life that helps me, I think it's resiliance. We do get buffeted about in life, sometimes knocked to the ground. It happens to everyone. How a person rebounds and continues is the important part. I am lucky to have that skill. Continuing on!

Love to all!

Megan

Hi Megan! I agree! It's critical to be able to rebound! :D

Yet, I feel you do more than to simply rebound. It appears you stay very centered throughout. In addition, you keep love flowing, no matter what goes on! It's amazing to witness your ability to do so. An amazing capacity, quite a conduit, for love. I think this capacity is what is often referred to as "Being Love." It's beautiful to witness. Very inspiring. Potentially healing to all.

With Sincere Gratitude, Brad

That lady on The Breastform Store banner is a mean temptress. She's down there at the bottom of the page and every time I see her I just know she's thinking "Come on, Liz, be pretty like me and put on makeup today!" and I think "No, evil temptress..I...will...well...maybe......oh I'll consider it."

So not fair. lol. She has pretty lashes, too, that adds to the unfair part.

A trip to the beauty shop can get you a set just like them and if you get notices for Groupon you can frequently get them for half off or more.

Just sayin - one of the advantages women have is their ability to improve on nature. And make it look natural too

Love ya all

As Dolly Parton said in Steel Magnolias, "There is no such thing as natural beauty". ;)

Why yes, I did change my avatar, thanks for noticing. (and uploaded 3 pics to the gallery *ahem shameless self promotion*

Wow I haven't started this many topics in one day in months and I have only altered my consciousness with 2 cups of coffee today too.

But we once had a thread here for people to post things they didn't want to start a whole thread about. Anything from a funny thought or good incident to vents and small updates.

I couldn't find the old thread which may be just as well-so I thought I'd start a new one.

Guess all I have to share here today is my wish that each finds something to smile about or laugh at today. Because for that moment all is good no matter what is may be happening.

What do you want to say or share?

Johnny

Is this the thread you were looking for, Johnny

Different thread but I do appreciate it MaryEllen. Last i heard about the pool party the pool was full of zombies-at least that was the word on the Killer thread and I haven't had the nerve to go check it out

But thanks. Maybe tomorrow morning with a fresh day and a couple of cups of coffee I be up to the sight

HI Brad ! Great to hear from you. That magical green top is being saved for just the right gig. I want Meg and soul mate to be there for that one. It's coming.

@ Lizzie - She does have way too good lashes :rolleyes: It's just not real....

Hi Cynthia, Makes sense you'd save that for a very special gig! :D

We had an opportune moment: the temp was close to 50 and dry - we set out for a walk around the neighborhood. Not a block from the house, the first person we meet: another transwoman. We chatted for a few minutes, sweet lady, a retiree who is temporarily living at a nearby trailer park with her fifth-wheel.

We didn't talk trans - just three women having a chance conversation. Life is good!

Love, Megan

Sweet! :D

Love bowling. And kite flying but seem to be gifted at mating kites and trees.

As far as bowling I was in a league long ago. I even won a trophy. I still have it too - it was a horses back end because I started with an average in the mid 200s and ended with an average in the low 100s. People actually prayed I wouldn't show up I heard.

I did better on Elf Bowling. Anyone else do that?

Hugs

I love beaches but they are kind of hard to come by in the national forest. There is a pasture across from my house-one of the few within miles but the cows aren't fond of large flying objects and the owner is kinda cranky to boot.

Here is a link to an explanation of Elf Bowling. I never had anything but the free game and it's kind of hard to see why it was funny from the explanation but at the time it was. One of those really stupid things that just work sometimes.http://www.ask.com/wiki/Elf_Bowling

Think I'll give it a whirl again just for a giggle. Are guys allowed to giggle? Guess I'll have to guffaw instead

:D

Love

I would love to join in the bowling. My hips are wide enough now, that folks won't be able to see the gutter testicles I throw. I know it's not on a beach, but can I wear my bathing suit too? In hopes of distracting them from looking at the scoreboard! LOL! :rolleyes:

Well hey, I can shoot in the high one thirties on a good day?!? :blush:

Now you are just going to tell me to go fly a kite. I love to do that too. I know, from the sunroof on my truck!. I know, I know, the string has to be shorter that 13'6". Giggle. I did see a Barbie kite I liked but my daughter threw a fit when I wanted to buy it. But hey, kids need to be in school too, so Mom's can fly their Barbie kites. B) Sneaky grin. Jody

ohJohnny i loved making kites as a kid, out of brown paper, bamboo canes and string - i graduated to jumping off the yard wall with an umbrella for a parachute - at 40 i learned to fly small aircraft and took a course with the Red Devils parachuting - flying is amazing, i love to sit on the cliffs where i lie and watch the gulls playing he winds andsomtimes i dream im actually flying with arms outstretched, teaching others how to do it - and have a group of students all flying behind, catching my slipstream, and my heart's really flying today because my son just rang me frm LAOS to say his wife has just given birth to their second child, a girl this time, 7.5 lbs and named Lyra............both well!

Congratz Jacques! Being a grandparent has been one of the best things in my life. And I agree with Megan-that is a beautiful name.

I made and flew kites all through my childhood. My last was a box kite I made myself that actually flew beautifully but it was a skill I lost with youth. Now any kite I touch is doomed. But I love to watch them fly. It always felt like a part of me was up there with them. I also have had dreams of flying at times in my life but not of teaching others as well. That actually says something beautiful about your heart.

Enjoy that grandbaby!

Hey Megan, please give a complete report. I am having a change of heart about changing my plumbing in my basement. I'm laying the ground work and exploring if that is really for me. I do need a way to fund it. What is your consulting fee for financial advisor? Giggle. I am trying to focus on first things first, but the thought of pretty new real estate down there, is almost irresistable to me now. Hug. JodyAnn

I figured out the way to get my SRS paid for - Sugar Daddy!

No, not the sticky candy on a paper stick like a molasses lollipop - a real Sugar Daddy - oaded and willing to spend it all on me.

I just do not seem to be meeting the right people where I am.

Do any of you know where rich (hopefully myopic) single men congregate?

Love ya,

Sally

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      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?
