Welcome everyone. Coffee is ready. 

Big day for me today! Have an appointment at 10 at ULTA getting new lashes. Then lunch with my Shawn! Then my next laser treatment.

 

At 3:30 I sign release forms for a taped Transgender Interview. Then it's full makeover time! WoooHooo!

 

A French news team is doing a story on The Transgender community in Palm Springs and the greater Coachella Valley. 

 

This is all being done in conjunction with the Coachella Festival and The Stagecoach Country Festival all this Month into May.

 

Pouring my second cup NOW! Then off to the shower

 

I'm so excited!

Morning all. Hope all had a great weekend. It was fantastic seeing the grandbabies. Waiting for Thurs to hopefully get this pin out of my finger.

 

Have a great one.

Good morning from an increasingly green NJ.  I'd be busy doing the first grass cutting if it weren't for the goats.  Instead i check and repair fences and move the landscaping service to the next pasture.  It's been a late spring here but yesterday we were close to 80 F.  In the evening i went out under the full moon and listened to the frogs sing of love.

@Willow  We do use a couple of buckets at the house.  That way i know what the trees are doing in the woods.  Tubing is critical for us.  450+  buckets scattered over acres of hillside is more than this gal could deal with every day.  Tubing also allows for a vacuum system which greatly increases sap volume.

 

Time to make a cuppa for the wife and a second for me.

 

Hugs,

A couple nice days ahead, 65 today 68 tomorrow. with no (shh) w-i-n-d hope you all have a great day.

Getting the pin out is the first step to healing and getting back use of the finger.  I feared therapy when I broke my wrist but it wasn't bad at all.  My therapist was kind and was not into torture!  Heal up!!

Good  luck with the finger Kymmie!

 

It's warmer here now. I planted out the tomato seedlings and runner beans, plus courgettes. I use containers for most so they will settle in the greenhouse before going out. Then came morning coffee!

 

A bit of a mixed afternoon. A bit of an embarrassing incident at the local small supermarket as a checkout operator had commented about me to another woman checking out her shopping. I hadn't really noticed but when this woman turned round and looked at me I just smiled and said hello as I thought it must be someone I knew (I have poor facial memory). Later in the (busy) car park she flagged me down as I was leaving and apologised to me, explaining what had happened. I was happy for that, but it was a bit irritating as she went on a bit  (good and bad at the same time? :/ A loveley gesture though even if she was only feeling guilty ). Then on to mother's where she greeted me with 'What are you wearing?' and 'It looks like a girl's dress'. Yes it was and I have worn it many times without comment. I have never really come out to her as she has memory issues (she had a stroke). Not a problem but a couple of frustrating issues in an otherwise lovely day lol.

Hi,

 

We faired better than a lot of places as yesterday’s storms went through. Really nothing more than rain and heavy wind.  But no damage.  

 

Continued cool and breezy today.  

 

Kymmie, I’ve had PT, but shoulder and knee after surgeries and never after having been immobilized.  I expect getting it moving again will be hard to begin with but do your best and keep up with the home exercises as much as you can.

 

Charleze your syrup collection is far more modern than any I’ve ever read about.

What a wonderful way to describe the sounds.  We love to hear the peepers in the wetland across the road.   Its definitely a sign of Spring!

Today was great except for having no power for 10+ hours. Of course our area is not THE area so it was last.

Other wise it was 73 light breeze. headed out on the bike a couple times. Fantastic being in the wind again.

 

Have a great rest of your day all.

Very confusing here today as it is Easter - Happy Easter Everyone! On a Sunday I would normally do the shopping and then have some wine with lunch but it has been more like a weekday so I cooked a joint of meat and made a pot of coffee as well as opening wine without realising lol. Luckily one thing I like (similar to people having different dishes at the table) is to have different drinks at the same time. Well the shops will be open tomorrow and I will have Sunday without the wine ? The weather is beautiful though and I have had a lovely walk.

Relaxing at a hotel in NC. Already had a complimentary breakfast this morning, while watching a bit of The Hobbit on the big screen tv while sitting on a barstool. Some people were dressed ready to go to their respective Easter events. I might go to an  Easter egg hunt, and watch everyone running around looking for eggs.

Good late morning, everyone. I haven't been here in awhile, and it's almost lunch time. I can't drink coffee, but I just had my morning smoothie a bit late :)

I hope you're all doing well. It sounds like everyone is enjoying the warmer weather. Someone mentioned gators! All I get are flocks of geese. Later in the summer I might see herons and otters on the river. 

I'm going to check out what I've been missing on the forum, now. I hope something wonderful happens for each of you today! Sending the sincerest good vibes to you all ❤️

Lots of love,

Good morning everyone 

 

its another beautiful day here.  Supposed to be windy and rainy tomorrow.  Seems like we are all getting similar weather these days from west to east.  

 

Coffee is is good today.  I haven’t had any for a few days with having to get out of the house early.  

 

All is well, life is good.

Having had my second cup i'm off to do morning chores and then a day of work in the blueberries.  Heavy snows destroyed the netting and support system for it.  Without the nets we will get no berries instead of the hundreds of pints we pick each year.  I need those berries.  They keep my eyes blue.

 

Hugs,

Agh! the pollen season has begun.  I had the windows open on Sunday and I've been congested and sneezing since then.  On the other hand buds are forming on the trees and perennials are peeking their heads through the ground.  

 

Hugs All, Jani

Had an impromptu drive to Lincoln, NE over the weekend. My oldest needed help unloading his Uhaul. So me and Grandma went and helped what we could. With my healing finger and older age. I wasn't much help but we got it done. Grandma entertained the grandbabies.

 

Hit some nasty weather on Friday. but all is well. Hope to get clearance to go back to work soon.

      You should have a moderator fix what you meant to write as "birth certificate".  Ooops.   I've gone over that verse and am wholly and completely dissatisfied with the SBC exegesis of it, so much so that it was one of the things that helped me break out of a mindset of guit.  Sometime I may strut by stuff as a Hebraist and show what it really means.

      I found this   — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.   https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf   First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern.  Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document.    He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all.  Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern.   I don't think gender identity is subjective.  "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around.  Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this.

      Good evening   well I finally finished reading my textbook.  Yeah.  But I still have a lot more to go for the class.     My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation.  And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis.  I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue.  But who knows.  I also get asked about mammograms.  I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second.   As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex.  The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing.  Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow bitch certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria.  Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing.  But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want.  Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God.     willow

      Well, the left wing has been doing that.    I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read.  But I am a conservative.    Is there something specific in there that is of concern?  Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic.
    • Ivy
      It's a plan to basically completely take over the government by the right wing.

      I'm actually in Asheville tonight.  Some of the people in the support group invited me for dinner after the meeting.  We're going to get together again tomorrow again. It's been nice, 4 trans women and 1 trans man, together ar a restaurant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I found https://www.project2025.org/policy/   I will have to read it.  I have not.  What is of concern?   The link provided earlier goes back to this forum.

      'Nuff said. Yeah I'm not thrilled with Biden either. There are some conservative ideas I'm good with.  And I do feel that the current Democratic party is too cozy with the bankers and wealthy.  But despite all their talk, when it comes down to it, so are the Republicans.  And it's not the Dems calling for our eradication. Unfortunately, I see this election as existential for trans folks.

      Good evening everyone,   @Birdie your CNA Is ill informed about breast and proper bra fitting.   My wife and I are checking out a campground up in Michigan just a little North of Saginaw, MI. We had a great meal at a local tavern serving delicious perch fillet dinner.   We’re going to check out the Saginaw,MI Bay area for summer time activities for when we come back on occasion. We belong to a camping club call Adventure Outdoors and have free camping at their resorts around Michigan and Ohio.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋    
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.   Biden has been known to switch positions without notice, whether on abortion, Gaza or gay marriage.  Most of what he has done has been via executive order and decision, so it does not carry the force of lasting law and can be easily reversed.  I really do not trust him at all.   Trump says a lot of things.  He switches his position all the time.  Most of what he wants to do will require legislation to accomplish, some of which will simply never become law.  I do not trust him at all.   I'm not sure which is worse for trans people specifically because of this, and the fact that the other issues that surround trans folk which I attempted to isolate this question from, but here I go :) also affect trans people along with everyone else.   In either case trans folk need to be prepared. 
    • Carolyn Marie
      I'm certain that there are some, if not many, but you would be hard pressed to find them willing to speak up on this forum.  There are many trans folk who are conservative, and believe that Biden's non-trans related policies are terrible.  Those include his economic, foreign policy, border security, and environmental policies.  I'm a lifelong Democrat, and even I don't like all of Biden's policies.  It comes down to who would do the most damage to the most people, and the most damage to America as a going democratic nation which has respect for the rule of law.   Carolyn Marie

      Thank you for continuing to share your story, Sally!   Willa sounded like a grand friend, I'm sorry for your loss. :(
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Not all conservatives are for Trump.  I am far from thrilled he is running.  Just wanted to make that clear.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Anybody willing to present the case for Trump? Any conservatives out there?
