I'm trying to get up and moving earlier.  The heat and humidity here is building and working outside gets harder.  It always seems a bit off that firewood needs to be cut, split and undercover soon.  After all it is hot.....winter?   The goats are all out on good pasture.  Do i really have to fill a barn with hay.  Air-conditioning calls me in.  Hard to say if it's age or E that seems to weaken me but as i think ahead this chick better get tough and to work.  Well at least a good breakfast and a couple of cups of coffee will help with todays first task.  i've got to unload a ton of grain from the dump truck.  Soon i will certainly be a "hottie".

 

Hugs,

Good morning everyone.

 

 I know not everyone celebrates Pride month.  I am remiss to say that I didn’t do anything either.  I would like to find a way to speak to people that don’t understand what we are and why, but I don’t know that I am ready yet.  But I hope if you did you helped get a message through and weren’t met with any problems.

 

Not quite one month on hrt so no noticeable changes yet.  I wasn’t expecting anything this soon so no big deal to me.  

 

Have  a  safe 4th of July or Canada Day if you celebrate either.

We went out to dinner with friends last night in York Maine and had a great time.  Got caught in a torrential rain on the way home.  Had to really really slow down.  Got home safety!

Yes, the Strategic Air Command was a major command of the US Air Force. SAC handled all the bombers. 2/3 of the United States nuclear triad. (Navy was the other 1/3) It was operational from 1948 till 1992. the became Air Combat Command.  I proudly served all my time in SAC.

 

The museum was fantastic. Like I said brought back a lot of memories.

I didn't know that there was a museum dedicated to SAC.  I'm going to have to plan a trip to see it.

What did you do?  Were you a pilot?

Hi everyone,

 

i did did something for the first time I can recall, watched fireworks in the rain.  We’ve had late afternoon, early evening storms just about everyday for at least the last two weeks.

 

our house/dog sitting is coming to an end.  We head home tomorrow.

Hi,  having a cup of mud this morning.

 

Got home home yesterday evening after a long day of driving.   We had a good time.   Our daughter doesn’t always get along with her mother.  Well, not only did they get along but our daughter actually initiated a hug with her mother.  That hasn’t happened in years.

 

well I’ve got a lot of chores to catch upon since we were gone for two weeks.

 

Hugs

 I just got back after being out very late with some friends, I had to stop at McDonald’s and get an iced black coffee just to get home safely, no need to risk life and limb driving while tired ! 

 I went out and did some scouting for a drive I want to take our little car club on, and I went to a place that I have been able to see all of my life and wanted to go to since I was three years old. Where I grew up on the California West Coast I lived near Mount Umunhum and could always see the radar station from where I live. I can remember being three years old seeing the radar dish turning up on top of the concrete building, my parents told me it was a giant bean mixer and that’s where I thought all the beans in the world came from?

 I spent an entire day up on top of the mountain checking out all the sites and enjoying my first visit to someplace I’ve never been but always wanted to see, oddly enough it mirrors my transition timeline and I find it interesting that I am finally starting to do some of the things that I’ve wanted to  since I was little !

Very nice pictures, pretty scenery and girl in jeans. I drove by that area (101) on my way home about 3 weeks ago. Yes agreed on doing things or going places you've always wanted to, I think we realize life is too short. 

 

Coffee tastes great this morning, even better because I have the day off, and everyone else is scrambling back to work soon...

What a tough looking building, made even more so when contrasted with a beautiful woman.   

We are having a rainy morning so i'll put off splitting wood this morning.

Instead maybe a third cup?

A lot of buildings at an airport are the orange and white. I love investigating old military sites and buildings, well old buildings in general. I just think they are so cool.

 

Good looking pictures Jackie. Also you as well. Your rocking it girlfriend,

Good morning, topped off my coffee, on a beautiful 71 degree blue sky morning. There is a cool breeze flowing through the drape. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Well I just figured out at least 2 boons of being a motorhead girl?  1: dirt and grease under your nails. 2: Breaking said nails. Worked on the car a little today. Getting things ready for the stereo upgrade. I wound up breaking 2 nails. and getting gunk under most of the others.  Had fun other than that. Decided to re paint my finger nails. it is a pinkish orange 'you are my sunshine' All last week had them done in Red,White and Blue for the holiday. Before that I only had my pinky nails done so we will see what happens at work.

 

Have a great evening all.

 

Hugs,

Hot oatmeal and coffee in this weather?  I guess i am nuts but habit rules my tummy.  It's lovely here in NJ with flowers and the abundance of summer.

Last night i had a chance to shower and go out in a lovely summer dress.  

I am feeling grateful for the chance to live as myself.  I owe a grate deal to this site.  The folks here have, over the years, helped me find comfort in being a trans woman.

Hot food/ beverages can actually help cool your body down. The reaction to the warming inside your body, triggers your body to cool the outside of your body. I will sometimes drink hot coffee or tea instead of an iced beverage when I remember this ??.

I do too! This site has helped me in sooooo many ways. Especially cause it has helped me speak out and to so many wonderful people. Being able to reach out and not feel alone is so important that it’s priceless. I will be eternally grateful for all this site has given to me.

I have to wholeheartedly agree also. This site has opened up a new world for me. It is helping me become the woman I need to be.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Been taking it real easy.Another good neighbor of mine and his 15 year old son came over and cut down a couple dead trees on my property.Knew not to do it taking it easy.I had them put the wood near my fire pit in the back yard.Did it and happy where they put it.They knew I had stents put in and needed to take it easy

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
