Well the holiday weekend is upon us here in the states. Unfortunately most people look at it as a time to raise cain, as with most holidays anymore. People just hink of it as time off for them not the real reason. Sad.

I’m going to enjoy the holiday by trying to relax and get away from the crazies. It’s a much needed 3 day weekend and then back to work. Not many people realize that the holiday was a way to commemorate the labor unions and give them a day to celebrate. Now it’s just a day to get sloshed or remember that white shoes are not fashionable through the rest of the year. So I’d better not get out my white canvas sneakers this weekend while I’m drinking boxed wine. Who am I kidding. I can’t even afford a discount six pack!?! Well, guess it’s a salad and some YouTube for me.

Isn’t every holiday just an excuse to get sloshed? ? Almost every holiday has some drinking involved, or it’s a money pit. ?

I presume from what Josie said your holiday is labor day, which I remember from wayback but here, for some reason, it ended up as May Day bank holiday which has always given me the picture of endless tanks rolling through Red Square, Moscow, round the block and past again to show endless might lol. I am not sure of its reasoning here. Our August bank holiday has just past. A good excuse to not go anywhere and get locked in gridlock on the roads lol. Have a lovely holiday everyone!

The traffic was nuts last night on the way to the library.  I'll be home this weekend, caring for goats and cutting firewood.  No drinking for this gal but i may get a "kick" by taking the '67 BMW motor cycle out for a ride.  I finally found how to keep my wig on when i take my helmet off.  I wear a long silk scarf around my head and tied under my chin.  Looks great and no awkward bald flashes.

 It’s similar to May Day but it’s not really the same thing. I also have the same image of tanks rolling through red square and parades but it doesn’t seem to have the same connotation now as it did in the 80s. I watched the last one and it was a happier event than when the communist party was running things. It used to be a bunch of serious somber blank faces clapping like it was mandatory with all the enthusiasm of a bunch of soulless clones. Now people wave and cheer because their relatives are in the parade. They also changed the words to many of the songs to reflect a much less political message and a more ethnic flavor. It’s no wonder that people enjoy the parade more than back then. They are allowed to. I personally don’t buy into the propaganda that they only changed the names of things but the communists are still in control. It’s just not the same vibe. Every country is trying to find their way into a better tomorrow. Sure, many are making mistakes but there’s also many that are learning from their past instead of repeating them. Sometimes the nonsense we hear is to distract us from what we have to work on in our own cultures. 

 

But enough musing. I’m home after spending half the day going to the phone repair shop to get a new battery installed and it was a good thing I did because the battery was bulging so bad that the screen was warped. Luckily I caught it early because if I had waited it might have been damaged. Once the new battery was inside, the screen went back to normal again and lays flat like it’s supposed to. It’s also missing a discoloration it had on the left edge. I’m guessing that was where the bulge was pushing the most because that’s the side where the battery is. It lasted about a year before it went bad. Hopefully it will last longer this time. The tech told me typically 6 months is the maximum lifetime. I went twice as long as expected. I’m not really worried though because eventually I really want to get a one plus 5t or 6t because it’s got a charge life of 2-4 days. So this phone will be fine until I can scrape the money together for a better one.

 

 I’m happily binging Farscape and it’s a great throwback to early 2000s sci fi. Maybe I’ll break things up by hunting around for a Halloween costume? I have 2 months to get ready for it.! I’m going to try getting things that I can also wear even after it’s over. October is also pride month here so maybe I’ll have a somewhat Halloween theme for that as well. I thought maybe it was because they were using the opportunity to wear costumes for pride but it turns out they changed it to October to avoid conflict with Juneteenth here. That’s a very huge tradition for African Americans everywhere in the south afaik.

What a beautiful vista Cyndee.  We spent yesterday in Portland, ME.  We had a nice (late) lunch then roamed around the shops.  So much fun.  Then we topped it off with gelato before heading home!   

 

Congratulations Debra.  That sounds like a nice truck.

Lovely view. I haven’t been to those mountains in many years. The last time was in the early 2000s. I’m definitely going to have to do it again sometime.

@Jani - that sounds like a very enjoyable trip, Portland, ME looks like a very scenic place. 

 

@Ellora - thanks ! I hope you have a wonderful day in paradise :) 
 

@Josie Beth - Hope you get a chance to come out this way again.

Hi All,

 

We spent several days with our friends Penny and Stevi in NC.  We had a great time.  Supported Stevi at a talk she gave on LGBTQ, with emphasis on TG.  We had to leave a day earlier than planned thanks to Dorian.  The disaster in the Bahamas is devastating and I doubt we know all of it yet.

 

We had to come home to take care of our boat, move it and tie it up better, then board up the windows and make other preparations prior to the hurricane arriving here.  We have our generator to keep the refrigerator and a few lights on just in case we lose power.  We aren't leaving we are 3 miles from the ocean.

      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

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
    • Ashley0616
      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.
