Hey you Jani.....My goats only eat out of cans as well.  Tons of grain placed in them to keep the rodents at bay.  The poor things never get to chew on can as well.

 

Jackie that's a beautiful cat!

 

Hugs,

He is cute.  I miss having cats.  Our dogs do not do well with them so that's were we are.  I love dogs just as much  LOL

 

S'okay. His name is Bodhi by the way. Not my fault, that's the name he came with. Like all my cats, he's a foundling. Anyway, that particular cat HATES dogs with a passion. I had both growing up and they got along famously. I don't mind dogs, but cats and I have a certain understanding. I much prefer their energy. Besides, Susan and I don't have time to properly raise a puppy.

 

Hugs!

That is such a good name, from Bodhisattva. (a person who is able to reach nirvana but delays doing so out of compassion in order to save suffering beings.)   I like cats too but cannot live with them any longer due to my lung issues.

Well that big storm that hitting everyone has hit New England and travel the past couple days have been terrible.  My commutes were long enough traveling at 60-65 mph.  Now I'm going a blistering 15 mph.  I am always grateful for snow plows but not being behind them.  LOL

So my coffee ran out well before I got to work both days.  

I hope everyone else is staying safe and warm.

Down here by the coast it was a mix of sleet and snow so only a couple inches of accumulation.  Going to fire up the loader soon and clear the driveway and mailbox area.  Drive carefully @ShawnaLeigh.

A balmy 9 above right now. To flipping cold for this girl. On days like this I just want to stay in the house not going anywhere. May go out and see if I can get the truck started. I think it is the key chip, which I removed and taped above the lock cylinder. Electrical tape gets hard when cold, and it may have moved. 

 

Tomorrow Me and the wife go to Scottsbluff, NE. To visit my middle son. Then head to visit my oldest in Lincoln on the second.

 

Everyone traveling be safe and keep warm.

I drove around a bit this afternoon, post coffee.

Lots of traffic. Can't say I enjoy iy, but the scenery was wonderful - bright sunny day in the Ozarks, temps in 40s and 50s.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!

Yep! We're fortunate to be in Sweden for the new year but we're currently holed up in our hotel room streaming the Rose Parade live from warm Pasadena California. Love the pretty floats and flowers!!

Didn't get to see the Rose parade this morning. We left for Scottsbluff. Here now with my grandson staying with us. Went swimming, pool was empty beside the four of us.

 

But the Rose parade brings back good memories, My oldest son performed with the Wyoming all state High School marching band in 2004.

Good morning! Coffee is so good on this grey dreary (dreich) day!

I have to get some tools and supplies to do some minor craftwork. My studio windows are not very weather tight, so with the heat on it's all I can do to get the temps up to the mid 50s. I'm going to make some removable, light duty interior storm windows to help keep the weather (and the bugs) out.

Wishing everyone a pleasant start to the new decade!

Well I do have a bit of sunshine in my otherwise cloudy start to my new year.  I managed to hit one of my goals for loosing weight!

At my max I was 286 at 5’7”. 
Today I weigh 167.5.  
This was a personal goal as it was my weight when I was honorable discharged from the USAF back in 1997.  
My over all goal is to float someplace between 150-160 and then pray for hips butt and chest.  Lol

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Congratulations! My weight goal is still elusive. I'll make it there. Eventually.

In the meantime, if you happen to corner the hips, butt and chest fairy, I'd like to have a word with her. I didn't receive my portion. ?

Good morning. Already on the road for work, got my coffee to hopefully help me wake up. Kind of a dreary day. Calling for the white stuff tonight or tomorrow. Don’t mind the snow just hate shoveling ?

Hi, we had a good New Years Eve, but a sad New Year’s Day.  Our daughter and granddaughters had to leave to go home.  Even our dog has been mopping.

 

Had some Nescafé this morning.  We are out of ground coffee.  
 

I’m on my way to see if I can get out of this air cast this morning.  Then going to go to Group this evening.  Two hours each way but it’s worth it.  Far better group than any that are closer.  I just can’t go with any regularity.

 

i wish everyone a great year.  May your desires come true.

Are you using anti-track software? I find that mine doesn't play nice with the site.

I have not changed anything so I am not sure.  This is a work laptop that I use at home and work.  So maybe there was some update.  I had noticed that even while on my personal phone I am having it go in and out.

Could be the WiFi at the hospitals too.

      Thanks Mae.  She was an amazing friend and I grew to love her like a sister.

      I did Ashley.  Non-rev travel was one of the major factors for taking the job.  At the time, US Airways had the best non-rev policy in the industry.  It cost $10 to fly coach and $25 to fly first class.  We flew first class whenever there were seats available.

      You should have a moderator fix what you meant to write as "birth certificate".  Ooops.   I've gone over that verse and am wholly and completely dissatisfied with the SBC exegesis of it, so much so that it was one of the things that helped me break out of a mindset of guit.  Sometime I may strut by stuff as a Hebraist and show what it really means.

      I found this   — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.   https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf   First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern.  Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document.    He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all.  Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern.   I don't think gender identity is subjective.  "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around.  Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this.

      Good evening   well I finally finished reading my textbook.  Yeah.  But I still have a lot more to go for the class.     My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation.  And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis.  I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue.  But who knows.  I also get asked about mammograms.  I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second.   As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex.  The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing.  Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow bitch certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria.  Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing.  But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want.  Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God.     willow

      Well, the left wing has been doing that.    I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read.  But I am a conservative.    Is there something specific in there that is of concern?  Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic.
    • Ivy
      It's a plan to basically completely take over the government by the right wing.

      I'm actually in Asheville tonight.  Some of the people in the support group invited me for dinner after the meeting.  We're going to get together again tomorrow again. It's been nice, 4 trans women and 1 trans man, together ar a restaurant.

      I found https://www.project2025.org/policy/   I will have to read it.  I have not.  What is of concern?   The link provided earlier goes back to this forum.

      'Nuff said. Yeah I'm not thrilled with Biden either. There are some conservative ideas I'm good with.  And I do feel that the current Democratic party is too cozy with the bankers and wealthy.  But despite all their talk, when it comes down to it, so are the Republicans.  And it's not the Dems calling for our eradication. Unfortunately, I see this election as existential for trans folks.

      Good evening everyone,   @Birdie your CNA Is ill informed about breast and proper bra fitting.   My wife and I are checking out a campground up in Michigan just a little North of Saginaw, MI. We had a great meal at a local tavern serving delicious perch fillet dinner.   We’re going to check out the Saginaw,MI Bay area for summer time activities for when we come back on occasion. We belong to a camping club call Adventure Outdoors and have free camping at their resorts around Michigan and Ohio.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I agree.   Biden has been known to switch positions without notice, whether on abortion, Gaza or gay marriage.  Most of what he has done has been via executive order and decision, so it does not carry the force of lasting law and can be easily reversed.  I really do not trust him at all.   Trump says a lot of things.  He switches his position all the time.  Most of what he wants to do will require legislation to accomplish, some of which will simply never become law.  I do not trust him at all.   I'm not sure which is worse for trans people specifically because of this, and the fact that the other issues that surround trans folk which I attempted to isolate this question from, but here I go :) also affect trans people along with everyone else.   In either case trans folk need to be prepared. 
    • Carolyn Marie
      I'm certain that there are some, if not many, but you would be hard pressed to find them willing to speak up on this forum.  There are many trans folk who are conservative, and believe that Biden's non-trans related policies are terrible.  Those include his economic, foreign policy, border security, and environmental policies.  I'm a lifelong Democrat, and even I don't like all of Biden's policies.  It comes down to who would do the most damage to the most people, and the most damage to America as a going democratic nation which has respect for the rule of law.   Carolyn Marie
