Ha! Summer?  We just passed through Spring.  I think it was for a few hours overnight while we were sleeping!  Its gone from cold to hot today.  Spring has been MIA recently.  I still need to get out and plant flowers.

 

I hope your PT is going well.

Good morning, we had a gorgeous evening out last night in the upper 70's, today it's back to showers and we might make 60 today. Such is the oscillation. Just taking the nail polish off toes this morning as it's time to let them breath a few days. I bought a new dress yesterday at Costco (?!), never thought of Costco as a fashion stop, but this little number at $ 14.99 was too hard to pass up, built in shelf bra, and side pockets (how practical). Have a great day all

Ellora I hope I didn’t make you spray coffee all over. 

 

Thunderstorms again tonight and then another temperature drop? I don’t mind the cooler weather but the rain is a little depressing sometimes.

Haha! I almost laughed too loudly, it was early over here. lol. 

 

Partially cloudy skies, with a bit of blue and a nice coastal breeze. It shouldn't rain again until Saturday. I dont mind the rain, as long as i dont have to drive in it. I love to fall asleep at night to the rain.

Yes it’s good to sleep in but sometimes it’s too much sleep.

Woke to about 6-7 inches of snow. And it is a month into spring. I want to punch mother nature in the face. LOL. Well staying in my PJ the rest of the day ( unless I absolutely need to go out.) And drink coffee.

6-7 inches of snow??? Wow!

Unfortunately, the heat and humidity of summer are coming back in tomorrow.

So Tuesday night...

I put some laundry in the washer, and fell asleep on the couch before putting it in the dryer and folding it afterwards. I then remembered half way through my day, that I forgot completely about my laundry. No biggy, except. I was doing my laundry at my friends house. And I haven’t told my friend that I’m in mid transit (? ?) , and even though she probably wouldn’t mind. It’s kust I’m thinking about the initial surprise, to find some other women’s thongs mixed in with some of my more familiar shirts. ?. Then I thought, well that’s an ice breaker for you. 

In the end, I ended up getting back before she did, and finished the laundry. No biggy. 

PS: I’m planning to tell her within the next week, anyway, I’ll keep everyone posted ?

Well if they checked, they won't need to be told by you.  The washing machine will rat you out!

Haha! The washing machine kept its lid shut, ?.i Especially laughed when I opened the dryer later while dinner was being cooked, my black laced thongs fell out of the delicates bag they were in and were all over the place in the dryer ?

Good morning Everyone! It’s another day Full of possibilities and adventures, big and small, far and wide. Cheer up, We are all here! Ok Where’s my coffee! 

It rained this morning, but I was hoping there would be more. I love to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of rain. It might rain tonight, so there’s is that hope.

i am surprised I’m not still asleep, I was up until 2am-ish playing WoW with @Blair !!! ?!! She also Joined my Guild! Squeeee! We had a fun time chatting while questing. Took silly ole me a bit to get to her, it has been a while since I’ve been to that part of the WoW world. ? Leveling her will be easier when we can do some good ole dungeon runs. Either way, I’m sure it will be fun. I enjoy helping her, and I know how much fun it is to level, so that will be fun too! 

If there are any of you that play, or want to play WoW with us, feel free to join, and or ask us about playing. It would actually be crazy cool to start our own guild come to think of it. I have never done that in WoW, I shall have to look into it! 

Well, it’s time for me to get out of my cozy bed, and make breakfast. I hope everyone has a great morning and day! Xoxox! ????

Good morning friends,

 

It's raining here in Iowa, as it has been for close to two weeks now. First thing I did this morning was head down to the basement to check the sump pump. My house flooded 3 years ago and I'm not keen for a repeat of that.

All the fields in our area are flooded (the dirt roads are mostly impassable) and I worry for the crops. Corn and soybean fields are starting to look like rice pastures. Soon we will be swampland, like Florida, with just as many mosquitos!

I'm up before work to study for an exam I'm taking Thursday. I'm a non-traditional student with a year and a half left before I graduate.

Happy Memoral Day everyone. Get ready to grill with umbrella hats on.

We finally got a break in the rain yesterday.  I managed to clean the barn's accumulation of 12" of packed straw and manure from 40 goats.  It is indeed one of the labors of Hercules.  This old gal is blessed with some good equipment or i'd never manage it.  At times i wonder if i'm really retired........then i have another cup of coffee, chat here and commute out the front door.  Lovely!

 

Hugs,

That's a lot of stall shucking. My back hurts just thinking about it. Do you use the manure or is it no good? I'm not familiar with goats except when they've headbutted me a few times.

Stay dry @Reyindium, it always rains here in the Puget sound area on Memorial day weekend, and Saturday was really wet here, today we expecting it to be dry and possibly 70's later. Coffee tastes great, we sold our RV recently and a guy is supposed to come today and take it away. That means we get half our drive way back !! I won't know what to do with all of that space again !

 

Have a great day all

Never thought about a guild. I’m not currently able to play because computer is waiting to get repaired but if I ever find the time to fix it I’ll be interested. Been years since I’ve played WoW. I’m sure a lot has changed. I used to play something called Ryzom a few years ago that was similar. Mainly French speakers.

Goat manure is a fine topic to consider as i have my first cuppa, oatmeal and blueberries.  As ruminants the manure is free of weed seeds so it makes an excellent source of nitrogen.  We compost ours for at least a year by which time the straw and hay waste is fully composted prior to loading the manure spreader and adding it to the field.  I'm mostly able to do the cleanup using a front end loader fitted with long forks,  That way i rarely have to do much shoveling.  My girls and even the bucks follow me around from pasture to pasture like little Mary leading her lambs.  They all have horns but i'm the lead goat so nobody messes with me.?

Hi! That would be so cool if you could! The more the better! You could always join the guild I’m in already, it’s a quiet guild, but it has been around for a while now, and already has most everything already. The people are very cool too! They do not know about Ellora, and that is fine with me, I don’t feel the need to talk to them about that yet. I haven’t really talked to them about my life anyway, so why mention anything else? 

Anyhooo, totally hit us up when you can play Wow, or any other online game that we all might have. I’m willing to try other games. It’s fun to play and chat! (Atm we are just text chatting , and haven’t tried headphones yet.) 

A lot has changed A Loooooooooot! Especially the Mage Tower in Stormwind! Blizzard Pimped the heck out of it ? ?. Just ask @Blair! Really ? . They have new characters, so you should like that. More places and content for sure. I was away for a year, and they added a whole new set of races! 

Come join us! Come one, come all!

Well had a short visit with my middle son and his family. They came Sat and left Sunday. With stupid work I was only able to get to see them at lunch yesterday. Then they headed home.

 

It is my Wednesday of an 8 day week. Even took off early yesterday to spend some time with my grandson to no avail. Luckily they only live 2hrs away So sometime when I get a Saturday off. Without asking for it ( probably when the devil gets a fur parka) we will head that way.

 

Thanks to all our Veterans here for their service. we couldn't be us without there sacrifice.

 

Happy Memorial day, everyone. Remember it is not just a 3 day weekend.

Spending Memorial  Day inside because the forecasted high is 101F. Just finished my breakfast about 30 minutes ago. Most of my day will be spent relaxing and enjoying good books and/or tv. Today is my last day of freedom before I start back work for the summer, lol.

That's nice you've got that sort of equipment. What do you grow? We see a lot of rotation of feed corn and soybeans to help with the nitrogen in the soil. Not too many goat farms around here...we are too preoccupied with growing America's bacon.

You're the alpha goat, huh? Too funny. My granny has the same relationship  with her collection of Shetland Ponies.

When I think about Memorial Day, I reflect on my grandfather. He was part of the greatest generation. He grew up in Pennsylvania in the church of the brethren, what we know as Quakers. They were pacifist but he still felt the call to do something because my grandma grew up in China and the Japanese were devastating the Far East. So when a spokesman for China/Burma/India came to his army camp, he took the offer to get out of his contract with the army and go to Burma (now Myanmar) and serve under the British. This was also how the flying tigers were born as a volunteer Air Force. He never raised a gun in anger and often didn’t even have one, but he did a lot to help many people even though the danger was immense. From helping build the Burma road to hand carrying rice through the muck and mountains, he helped define the legacy of the era. He made it home safe and when I knew him he was the funniest person I’ve ever seen. Always full of humor and generosity. I miss him a lot. I’ll never forget the day I cleaned his medals and put them in a shadow box. I was only a small child playing in the basement when I made the discovery. They were hidden in the basement in some dusty drawer. My grandma suggested I clean them up and give them to him. Once I was finished I walked up to him and revealed the wooden frame with the awards inside. He cried and said “thank you!” Only now many years later, having been in the service myself, do I understand the well of emotions that came out that day. It’s deep and decorated with hidden scars.

Your grandfather sounds like he was an incredible man and I wanted to thank you for sharing his story. You honor him by remembering this way.

Thank you for sharing this with us. And thank you for your service as well.

Thank you for sharing Josie Beth.  My father was a newly qualified surgeon as the second war broke out.  He and my mom had married but before they could start a family he found himself island hopping through the pacific.  He described landing on beaches and finding cover as bullets went over head.  He carried a revolver but felt a bit "outgunned".  He didn't have many medals just experiences he rarely shared with his family.  He continued to serve in the National Guard until retirement as a full colonel.  I hope he was able to share with others there.

Today it's raining on our farm.  As it's my birthday i'm simply taking it easy and not trying to get anything "done".  I'm finishing my last cup for the day.  

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.
