That's awesome news!

I've always heard twins had a nearly mystical connection, this seems to prove it.

Meanwhile it's rainy in the Ozarks this morning, warming but fall seems to lack the color I saw in New England. We're going for a brown look.

I hope everyone has a great Monday, week gets off to a wonderful start and things go smoothly for all.

Hugs and kisses all around!

We get to meet in a couple weeks,excited

Great news!  Very happy for you!

I do think it's interesting.  Does anyone know the statistics for transgender twins? fraternal vs. identical?  Is it common for both twins to be transgender?

Getting up, getting ready for a day of doctor visits.

I'm sort of excited, sort of nervous. This will be a day of lab workups.

Good morning/noon everyone! I already had some coffee for the walk home because of the chilly weather. I had to go to the laundromat to retrieve something and it was cold out.

 

I narrowly averted a $60 mistake. Sunday morning I did laundry and I was charging my battery backup for my phone and devices when I had a blonde moment and forgot to retrieve it from the attendant. Yesterday I didn’t even realize it until I was headed out to work and didn’t have time to go back and get it. So today I went right away to see if it was still there and to my relief it was. The attendant had kept it safe for me and even said that someone we both know of tried to fake that it belonged to them twice but they didn’t pull it off. So I was happily reunited with my stuff and found out that I need to be careful around this other person who tried to steal it. The kicker is that they have a crush on me and even though I don’t have any desire to reciprocate, it’s a good excuse to tell them to go away now. Some people.

Congrats on getting your battery pack back!  Its very annoying to lose them.  Do you actually know the person that was trying to steal it? Are they person crushing on you?

Josie Beth, is there any chance they were going to "rescue" it and give it to you?

This other person I mean.

I always hate to think ill of someone unless I'm certain they were up to no good.

But it's great that you recovered your things.

So now you know things about two people, one who has a good heart, and one who bears watching.

My street is lined with red maples. Driving towards or from my house this time of year is beautiful. They are a bright vivid red. 
 

Went to a specialist last week. Good news, I’m having surgery to correct my deviated septum and some other sinus issues. Surgery is not until spring, but I’m already looking forward to breathing better in the not too far future. 
 

The kettle is on and I’ll soon be having a nice cup of herbal tea to go, on the way into the office. 
 

I hope everyone has a great day!

 

*hugs*

I am thinking that I need my deviated septum fixed as well.  Did they discuss a nosejob at the same time?  Do you know if it's an option? If I'm having surgery, I wouldn't mind making my nose a little more feminine.

So much for my day off. We got the white crap this morning which meant the the District manager couldn't open the store today to give me a day off. So guess who got to do it again. then our morning counter person called in sick. that left me to run the front alone from 7:30 till noon. Oh what joy it was. Hope it will look good on the pay check. With the snow would have had to cancel my VA appointment in Cheyenne anyway. 

 

Got a pot o coffee dripping. However may crash out before it is done. Stick a fork in me I am done.

Sara, Can I ask what are the symptoms of the deviated septum?  My mom has been diagnosed. I often wonder if I also do.

Hopefully you can get by without back surgery, the results are quite often very iffy.

Problem is I can get in December to see the specialist.I have my GCS in January which can be a conflict

@KymmieL I am constantly stuffy despite taking prescription nasal sprays and oral antihistamines. I am also prone to sinusitis and sinus infections as a result. Symptoms can vary and it also depends on how bad the deviation is. Just because you’re stuffy or get sinus infections does not mean you have a deviated septum. It really requires a scope of your nose and sinus cavity to diagnose. 
 

My deviation is bad enough to require corrective surgery, but many people have small deviations with no ill effects. In fact, most people have some type of minor deviation. I’ve read up to 80% of the population. 
 

If you have any issues breathing, I highly recommend going to see a doctor and not relying on the internet for a diagnosis and treatment plan.

Sara,  I was just looking for a possible cause for my getting stuffed to the rafters at night. I go see my respiratory therapist in about a month.

Finishing up my coffee, today is "redo the studio" month.

Going to be super busy trying to get my studio here in the Ozarks back into production.

I hope some of it - at least the drawing poption - will be functioning in a week. Painting studio may take the rest of the month.

While I was in Maine, it seems the thermostat failed and the whole place is musty, some mold spots growing on surfaces. Clorox, lemon oil, and elbow grease before things are good again. Haven't even hooked up my sound system yet, but may try that first, since it may help my mood while I scrub.

Wishing everyone a productive, happy day! With hugs!

Ohhh, sorry to hear about the thermostat issue.  Mold is a terrible problem as it seems to get everywhere.  I hope the cleaning goes easy.  Yes get the stereo connected!

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      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?
