Hi

 

I was having trouble with my iPad getting to this site last week but not my computer.  But I did find that although typing the address wasn’t working searching the site would get a link that did work.  Then I noticed that it needed httpS://www.  Instead of just http://

 

now whether that was the fault of Apple or a change for the website I don’t know but all is good now for me.

Yay! Got my coffee, waiting on the bus for the kids then work. And thanks to Willows tip I’m on the boards in the morning! Hope everyone has a fabulous day.

Good morning! Slept poorly with the weirdest dreams last night. When I say weird, believe me they fall off the end of the strange scale! Got coffee, trying to get myself organized. Have a computer to nurse into functionality today. Oh joy.

I wish everyone a wonderful day.

I had late start as I had to go get a massive amount of blood drawn.  

I swear they took half of it.  Then drove an hour to work.  I had to fast from yesterday noon so I am famished but coffee first.  LOL

I hope everyone has a great day!  Mine feels like it has not even started yet and I am way behind.

Good morning 

 

beautiful blue sky and sunshine today.  For the older crowd, no lollipops.

 

drinking my morning joe.

 

going to try to get to water aerobics today.    No longer restricted but I have to be careful what I do while the bones finish healing.  Water increases the resistance while reducing the impact.  Doctor said that would be a good way to go.  I’m afraid yoga is out forever.

I don't know about the website but I generally use 'https'. That is a better thing to use as it is more secure than 'http'.

Morning all, today seems to be a good day. 

 

Got my blood drawn to make sure my medicine is not jacking me up inside, hopefully it's not because it is really working. I had to fast for it and it was really tempting to lick to peanut butter off the knife as I was making my lunch, but somehow I managed to not haha.

Running late today. I was talking to Rey about her grand kids, then to Chloe about my surgery and it put my workout back about forty-five minutes. Time well spent in my opinion. I still got to my allergist in time for my shot. I probably should have eaten something before I left the house though; I was a little wonky when I stepped back through the door.

 

Wolfed down breakfast (I don't think I tasted it) and found my test results from yesterday are mostly done. They still need to finish the mercer culture. I spent all day yesterday getting that taken care of. The good news being that all my values are within normal tolerances. REALLY should have eaten more yesterday, they took a good five vials of blood out of me. I basically ATTACKED a Jimmy John's sub around 3:30 (I don't think I tasted that either) then skipped dinner because I'd just murdered a sub.

 

Today, I've just got my writing project and maybe some more food on the agenda. I've got some peach yogurt with my name on it and some pears that need to be eaten. It's a good day though. It'll be better when Jen tells me that she got my check and I'm good to go for surgery.

 

Hugs!

Hi Willow,

Sorry I missed it, but what happened to your bones?  Did you break something?

Hi. @lauraincolumbia I had surgery to fuse a joint in my big toe 6 weeks ago.  I had two large bone spurs, other arthritis and the joint was rubbing bone on bone. Walking had been painful prior to the surgery.  Now it feels great, but won’t be fully healed for another month.  I am released to wear a shoe at least.  
 

water aerobics went well.

 

@TammyAnne yes I left out the rainbows but that’s because there weren’t any. Now I’ve had that song lyric stuck in my head all day.

Holy Moly the roads in Vermont are crappy this morning.  3.5 hours to drive a 1.5 hour commute.  Ran out of audio books and coffee!

Sigh

I hope everyone else is having a safe and warm day.

Cold, snow and slippery roads.  That’s why I moved south, just like the birds.

 

no coffee yet, but it’s coming.

Debra, Congrats on a successful surgery. 

 

Shawna, Glad you made it through the commute especially with running out of coffee. Be safe going home.

 

Glad I don't have to do the long commute anymore.

 

Have a great day all.

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      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.

      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.
