Good Morning, on my 2nd cup, here at 3:25 am local, I could not sleep anymore. Music is in my head phones...

 

Dry cold windy weather, chinook winds are blowing here (out of the NE). Should be a beautiful clear day here....

 

Nothing new to report, just happy to be alive, well, and smiling....

 

Have a great day all

Luckily we have no snow but it was windy overnight. The tail of a storm! I have just had breakfast coffee and will go out for a look around after doing a little hand washing, before lunch. Have a lovely day :)

Yesterday I woke up and surprise! There was snow on the ground but not a lot. It’s still covering the ground but it may melt off in a few days. Until then the temperature dropped dramatically so I have been indoors trying to keep warm. Going to work early today is going to be frigid. Everyone have a wonderful day!

Good morning everyone 

 

Coffee and breakfast are done.  Getting ready to head out.

 

It got a little stormy last night.  We got an inch of rain, thunderstorms and we were under a tornado watch.  After that it got cold and windy.  

 

Have a a great day.

Went to the orthopedic Dr. today. Looks like surgery for this girl. They are going to put in a pin to keep the bones aligned. Dentist appointment is 8am on Wednesday.

Actually about 40 on the thermometer this AM. I agree it has been a weird winter. But It can be over. I am so through with it. Have a great day all.

Hi everyone,

 

Well weather wise it was a pretty nice day.  

 

Endochronologist appointment went ok. We discussed what I was hoping to get out of hrt and how my dysphoria affects me.  He was willing to prescribe but based on our conversation he wanted me to have a psychiatrist evail first.  That is as much ch for my wife as for me.   I have a follow up in June, and I’m waiting to hear from the psychiatrist he wants us to see.

I know that this is supposed to be a good morning coffee thread but I’m finally relaxing for the weekend starting tonight and I’m curled up with my orange creamsicle milk, hallmark channel, and a berry shandy to celebrate almost 2 months at my new job! Mmmm, orange creamsicle milk! I had no idea that it even existed!

Josie Beth It is a social thread. Something to talk about the day coming or have had. It's all good.

 

Well now to wait for surgery. it is on the 14th. right now the end of my left pinky is twice the normal size. It doesn't look like any damage to the nail. But I guess time will tell.

Good luck with the finger Kymmie. Sometimes it takes quite a while for any effect to show in a nail.

 

Today is sunnier again after the rain. It's about time to start work in the garden, but I am not enthusiastic :D I am glad I got to planting some garlick and broad beans before Christmas.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Kymmie, I had my finger smashed about 3 months ago and last week the nail, which was firmly attached, apparently finally fell off and it’s growing back a new one. It’s probably going to be another month before I can have an almost full length nail to cover my finger. Then another two weeks before I can finally trim the nail. It looked like I had it painted black for a while. 

 

Today there’s supposed to be thunderstorms all day and the rain sounds absolutely soothing on the roof and windows! A good excuse to stay in and cat nap!

Congrats on 2 months Josie Beth !! you deserve some pampering !

 

Yesterday my wife told me I had bought "mom jeans", I did not know that term previously, so I just giggled when I heard that, and they so fitting. My mom jeans are these wide legged bell bottoms, that sit high on the waist, you learn something everyday ?

 

First cup of the morning, and it tastes wonderful.

 

Have a great day all

Gosh Cyndee i just looked down.....Mom Jeans!  Who knew.  

Now for a second cup with a smile. 

Saps still running so i'll be in the sugar house later.  It's been an awesome year for us.  24 kid goats have made it through (so far) and we have had a very good syrup season.

 

Hugs,

Haha! I call my work jeans mom jeans. I’ve always qualified mom jeans as jeans that don’t enhance your booty. Kind of looser fitting type jeans. They’re very comfy for the most part. ?

I guess I wear mom jeans. They certainly don’t enhance any curves. I need a belt to keep them from becoming hip huggers. I would rather be wearing something that fits. None of my pants fit quite right.

It was really windy today.  Went to the store and got some food. Wish I could shop healthier but every time I do we end up short on food for the month. I'm working on it though.  Waiting to see if we are responsible for paying for the bedbug treatment or not. If not or when we have it paid I will get a second freezer.  In the meantime, I plan to buy a crockpot next month.  I need to get some tupperware too. So I can make big meals and freeze them.  Can anyone recommend a cheap place to get some tupperware like containers that won't fall apart like grocery store ones?

I must admit we tend to use a lot of old ice cream tubs Jordy. We amassed quite a few when the kids were little.

 

At the moment I am looking at high waist jeans. The ones I currently wear fit at the hip, and fit well,  but I could do with a change of style from time to time. Not wide bottoms though. I prefer a close fit. Something I noticed when I was looking through a few sewing mags yesterday - Buy patterns to fit skirts to your hip size and, when making, adjust the waist. The article also quoted  the, not unusual, wide ranges of women's bodies (with similar variations for upper body and dress size). I can see we are not exceptional!

 

It's pouring with rain at the moment. I hope it stops by the time I get to the shops so I can have a look round.

Dollar tree has some but they are just the same as the ones in Walmart. Kind of disposable. Freezing anything plastic will make it brittle. Even the thicker more durable containers.

 

 It was very windy yesterday. All kinds of debris was hitting the house.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
