I appreciate the advice, will probably get a plug-in device to transfer disc files to the new Mac.

Well it’s a problem that isn’t really that bad. Just costs something to fix. So I decided that I can bypass the whole drive cloning thing by ordering a drive bay to replace the dvd drive and then I also ordered a usb dvd drive to solve replacing the other one. Then I can just use my old laptop drive in the new laptop and update it to work better for the new laptop. Then I’ll have 3 operating systems on the same laptop for a while. It also makes cloning later easier. Then I’ll be able to change main drives and do that. Then put back the original dvd drive and presto! Sounds complicated I know. It’s actually the least complicated way of getting it done in the least bit of time. So I’ll have all my previous settings on my new laptop right away. Saves me time just not money. 

 

I had my coffee earlier and I ran a lot of errands. Still have a lot to do though. I’m trying to tackle a pest problem because of the neighbor which is a major project.

 

 I’m also realizing that participation in pride this week is probably not going to happen just because of all the variables. My order of a cute hat and sweatshirt is going to be too late and I can’t even afford to get foundation in time. It is what it is. And I’ll most likely have to work on the 12th. But I can still get to the clinic today or tomorrow so there’s that.

Josie Beth, you are such a busy girl and smart about IT stuff, I am such a dope about it myself. Is a neighbor giving you a hard time?

Not really, just a slob. He doesn’t take his trash out until it is horrid and  that attracts pests. Then two of them are feeding a flea bitten cat. The guy right next door is actually letting it crawl in the screen door to eat so of course the fleas try to come over here sometimes. I’m taking measures to seal all the cracks everywhere to close out anything from coming from next door and sprayed a lot of ortho around. It’s working so far. I just don’t like all the chemicals. Luckily I don’t have to sit around it all day. I just can’t believe that there was a huge gaping hole in the wall underneath the vanity in the bathroom. I don’t care if the rental agency doesn’t like that I sealed it off, they weren’t doing anything about it. They can complain about it after I move. They probably won’t even notice though. 

 

I think I finally found a solution for my old laptop drive being stuck in fallback mode though. I just have to figure out where I can work on it and have an internet connection. It’s actually a simpler fix than I thought. Some people have suggested doing all these roundabout things that don’t work but hopefully the idea I found this morning does the trick. My order from amazon should arrive this weekend with enough time to get it working right. Then I’ll finally be able to do some graphic design and get some merch worked on. That seems to be the only way I’ll make more money for moving and not be so dependent on temporary work.

You'll probably be happier when you can afford to move. I have a redneck neighbor across the street from me with no sense of pride of ownership. Junk out in front we have to look at 24/7. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts, give us some updates as you proceed ahead with things.

Debra Michelle - Hug!

So sorry you went through that and that you face still more upcoming stress from possibly giving testimony!

Hang in there. Courage, lady!

And of course, a morning coffee mug lifted in a toast to your bravery in dealing with the assault.

Sorry this happened Debra. There are some nasty people in the world. Let's hope they put him where he belongs.

Feel better soon.

I always seem to be having computer issues. I've build a couple of PCs before and just finished with a Dell r710 which I love. I just love Dell components as they are typically very high quality and easy to replace.

Today having a coffee before heading off to the office. Overcast and chilly here now. Have my Therapist appointment this afternoon which is something I always look forward too.

Hope everyone has an amazing day.

Samantha

Debra it was a nasty experience, soon you and the other women can put it in your rear view mirrors and get on with your lives while your assailant spends his coming years fearful of being brutalized in the prison system, it would be fitting!

 

Have a great day Samantha!

Coffee this morning on a dreary, overcast day.

But sunshine predicted for the day, so I'm hoping to get some photos of the fall colors while "at peak" this year. Had a brief afternoon bout of light and shot a few frames yesterday, but haven't looked them over yet because I'm still working on a drawing.

I've turned out to be a busy little beaver here lately!

Hugs to all!

Coffee in my mug, wind howling around outside, we're predicted to have a Nor'easter.

Should be an interesting day.

Good Friday evening.  We took our boat on a shakedown cruse last week.  Boy did we shake it down.  The tired old engine had enough and died about a third of the way home.  I got towed another third only to find out the engine couldn't be repaired.  we talked about what to do and did we want to put more money into it or scrap it.  Decided to keep it so we are converting it from and inboard engine to outboard.  while that isn't ideal, it is a lessor cost solution.  I finally got it back home today, 5 days later than the plan.  I am going away for the rest of October so I'll be getting home with a lot of work ahead of me.  Any idea of an extended trip early next year is out.

Hi Willow, fairly new here. It's never fun when old equipment puts a crimp in your plans and pocketbook like that. Seems like you have a can-do attitude about how to get it handled, hats off to you Miss!

Sorry to hear this Willow.  But at least you had a back up plan, despite its desirability.  Enjoy the rest of the month.

Sorry to hear that. Work and illness can be quite a depressing combination.

 

Sitting here drinking my elevenses, athough I see the clock is showing twelve so I had better get on LOL. Have a good weekend everyone!

Willow, sorry to hear about your nautical problems. Is this a sailboat or motor cruiser? (Not to be nosy, but I have a sailboat which does modestly well with an outboard.)

Krisvm, from the standpoint of someone retired, work seems like its own form of illness. Hope things are better.

For me, I have my studio here in Maine all packed up, getting ready for the long, scenic drive back to the Ozarks. Hopefully I'll get a chance to sightsee along the way, but I have to return for doctor follow-ups with oncology et al.

I'm likely to not be posting for the next week or 10 days, but I wanted to wish everyone a pleasant week and hopes for a better tomorrow. Hugs to all.

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      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.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together

      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?
