Gotta make a second cup to get started since we "sprang forward".  I'll enjoy the light in the afternoon but it was a dark rainy start today and hard to get out of bed. 

  Jordy,   We use the plastic pints and 1/2 pints that one gets at takeouts for soup.  Over the years we've amassed a large collection.  We'll make up a large batch of Rrat-tat-tui and freeze 1/2 pints which are perfect for two on ravioli to pasta.  we also make up batches of chick peas, or humas and freeze them.   Being vegetarian the food prep takes longer so doing large batches and freezing them works well for us.

  As a hippie child of the 60's i love jeans with a flare at the base.  Unfortunately affordable bell bottoms are rare.  Tight bottoms and thighs with a flip at the ankle is a lovely combination for me.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

Good morning everyone.  Had breakfast and coffee at church today.  It’s a beautiful day today.  Sunny low 70s.  A little breezy because some storms are predicted for later..

 

went St to a local group meeting last night.  I say local but it’s really 90 minutes away.  

 

Met eat some new to me people.  The group is transgender support but just like here welcomes all.  

 

Bought some summer clothes.  A couple skorts, a pair of shorts, capris and some tops.  That should be enough.

 

cant say I have any mom jeans.  I don’t have any women’s jeans.

 

Have a great day. Pray there aren’t any bad tornados like the ones that killed 24 people last week.

Me too!.  I remember that originally my Dad wouldn't let me wear bell bottoms as he thought they were for the girls.  My Mother convinced him otherwise and my first pair was a dress slack.  After that it went fine!

 

It's snowing today but will warm up and turn to rain later.  Yesterday was nice out and I can tell spring is coming as I saw a guy pulling his boat (shrink wrapped) home from storage.  That and a number sports cars were on the road.  A bit early for that I think!  There's ice on the lake still but it won't be long before its out.

Good morning y'all!

 

No coffee for me this morning! Electrolysis! Just thought I'd pop in 'n say hi!

I'm finally seeing some results. My chin is nearly smooth. Working on jaw line now.

With dominant Native genes I don't have much facial hair so it is not real intense. 

 

I really feel for the girls that have 5 o'clock shadow by noon. Takes me a three days min get even close to ANY shadow.

Hi, coffee is good today. Had a donut too!  I don’t intend to worry about facial hair.  I can shave close enough and cover it with makeup to pass and add a little touch up for the evening.

Had to take the wife to her early AM appointment in Denver today. This was a yearly appointment everything was good, so now don't have to go back for 2 yrs now. Left last night stayed at a LaQuinta last night. Actually able to wear a woman's one piece in the hot tub/pool for the first time.

Back home now to wait for the blizzard expected to hit early AM. Wait and see if we get anything.

I am sorry for your loss Willow.  It will be 23 years since we lost our younger 13 year old son and his birthday is still difficult for us.  Time mutes the pain but it always remains.

I am closing down the sugar house as the maple syrup season is over for us.  Lots of cleaning as well as the processing of the remaining sap in the evaporator(around 50 gal.)

It has been a good year for us.  The first 30 gals. i bottled has already sold.  Now to bottle 100 more before turning my attention to repairing fencing, barn cleanup and all the later spring chores.  

I'm glad for the push this coffee gives me along with that warmth in the tum.

 

Hugs,

Good Morning Ladies!

 

Have an 8 o'clock today with my therapist. Should be a good visit as things are leveling out at last.

 

I still have my dysphoric moments. Especially on electrolysis days but yesterday's compliments have me on a much deserved high point. Things have been so... So.... Ummm... Topsy-turvy?

 

I can't explain it. On my third cup. I did some eye makeup but no foundation today. I like to wait a couple days before full face!

 

I won a raffle last Sunday! Grand Prize for a surprising change!  $50 gift cert at ULTA... Wooohooo!

 

Date night this month will sport a full makeover and a new dress. I am soooo excited! I will be sure to post pics!

 

Well... Off to the bus stop. See y'all later!

Willow you are not alone.  Yesterday would have been our son's 34th birthday.  While time does make getting through the day a bit easier, the pain is still there.  We always wonder what would he be doing now.  

 

Hugs, Jani

Low and behold I am actually home now. We closed early because of the weather. 9 1/2 inches so far. can't get in or out of town. Due to cancellations I go for surgery at 6:30 am instead of 1 pm tomorrow.

Kymmie,

 

I hope your surgery went well and everything is good.

 

Everyone,  Thank you for the supportive thoughts around my Granddaughters should have been 10th birthday.  I think of her every day and miss her very much.  Even when she knew it was a matter of hours, she still did her best to acknowledge me and tried to smile.  Such a brave little girl.

 

Beautiful day today, 70s today and tomorrow.  Then the big storm front will blow through here and we are back down to the 50s and eventually the 60.  This has been a really strange winter.

 

Hugs

I am glad things are on the mend Kymmie. It's at times we don't have them that we realise how much our hands do.

 

Just had my breakfast and first cup of coffee. It sounds somewhat windy outside. It could be a breezy walk this morning, but the route to the chipshop is through wooded areas so if not too windy it will be OK. I hope it is a bit more relaxed than yesterday. When I got home I realised just how tiring it had been going on a five mile walk in a gale. The open fields so only shotblasted by soil at the odd point, and a few stinging drops of rain. At least it was not cold and my exertions kept me warm :)

We are due for a rainy but warm! day here.  Yesterday was beautiful.  I'm finishing up the final boils of the sugar season and beginning todo the clean up.  Had my first tick yesterday.  I hate to see they are already out.  Have to start spraying my clothing.  I've had limes several times over the years and despite the vaccine had problems last year with two rounds of powerful antibiotics due to tick bites.  
I love my work outside but with the new species from overseas and the warming of the earth the insect problems are much worse.

Oh well .....i'll have a second cuppa and enjoy another day!

 

Hugs,

good evening all. Had my first experience taking a bath since 2000. It was interesting to say the least. I did get washed and shaved though. Had to do some of the required gymnastic moves to do it. 

 

Have a good night ladies and gents

 

Hugs,

Ticks already? Where in the world is there any place without ticks? Antarctica? I’m pretty sure there’s tick fossils there somewhere. 

 

It’s definitely not spring yet. Too dark and gloomy still. The wind has been so violent lately that it’s probably not a good idea to fly a kite. One afternoon the temperature was supposed to be almost 60 but it felt like it was 23 and I was not dressed warm enough. Weather channel lied.

I think meteorology isn't an exact science. Don't believe it ever will be.

They could at least give accurate temperature in the “right now” section. That’s just supposed to be a measurement from a local weather station. Nothing to predict there.

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      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.
