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.

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.

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?

      One of our cats is polydactyl.  He has 7 toes on each front paw and 5 on each back paw, for 24 toes total.   Another one, an ex-feral who, at the time, was free to roam, climbed 50 feet up a tree without having any thought about how he was going to get down.  His pal climed down backwards, but he couldn't.  He ended up coming down by leaping from branch to branch.  Which nearly gave us heart attacks, because he only has one eye and therefore has no depth perception.   The other ex-feral (both are now indoor cats) obviously does not have those soft pads on his feet.  At night, when we are in bed, we can hear him stomping around the house.

      The two o'clock Onshoring meeting was going well.  Taylor was leading, inviting other people up to speak on their specialties. Aerial photogrammetry and surveying, including the exact boundary, were out for contract signature  Gibson had handled that - Manufacturing was supposed to, but somehow hadn't happened.  Legal issues from Legal. Accounting reported on current costs, including all upkeep, guard salaries, etc.  Manufacturing was supposed to give those numbers, but they hadn't.   The downside was the VP of Manufacturing.  He had arrived at the meeting red-faced, his tie askew, clutching a bottle. It smelled strongly of vodka. He had never done anything in his twenty years of being VP of Manufacturing, and he did not like being asked now.   "Mr. ----, do you have the inventory we asked for?" Taylor asked politely.  VP Gibson had asked him to have his people go through the plant and not only inventory but assess the operational status of every piece of equipment.  They needed to know what they had. "I'm not going to take any f---- orders from a g-d- tra---," he snarled. "God knows what kind of perverts it has dragged into our fair city and bangs every night." "That is completely out of line." That was Gibson.  Taylor controlled herself.  That was a shot at Bob, not just at Taylor.  She was glad Bob was not there to do something stupid.  Had Mrs. McCarthy been talking? What had she said?  Was she given to embellishment?  Taylor took a deep breath. "I'm not sorry.  You f--- can take this stupid onshoring --- and shove it up your -" "That is quite enough."  This was the head of HR. "You can take your sissy ways and sashay -" "You are fired." "You can't fire me." "Oh, yes I can," said the office manager.  The VP took another swig from his bottle. "Try it."  He looked uncertain. "I will have you removed.  Are you going to leave on your own?  I am calling the police to help you leave." And he dialed the number. He stomped out cursing. They heard him noisily go down the hall.  This was the front conference room.  He actually went through security and out the door, throwing his badge on the ground on his way.  The guard picked it up. They could see this through the glass wall. "Can you fire a VP?" "The Board told me that if anyone gives me problems they should be shown the door. Even a VP.  I can fire everyone here. I won't, of course. Those were problems." "Are you alright, Taylor?" She nodded.  "I've heard worse.  Shall we continue?" And they did.   The last item was that certain business people in China had been arrested, and the corporation that had been supporting them all these years had been dissolved.  They were on their own, and the Board was dead serious on straightening things out.  After this meeting, Taylor believed it.  She did not attend the meeting to discuss how to distribute the few duties the VP of Manufacturing had done.  That was ultimately up to the Board.
