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!

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
