Sorry to hear about your sister @AdriannaB.   I hope she recovers well. 

 

Very cold (10 degrees) here.  Brrr. The wind was howling last night while I was trying to fall asleep.  Its calmed down a bit but the trees are still swaying.  

Had the anger coming out getting the call from mom and I am letting the police do their job.It gave her a wake up call she needed to get out.

Shaping up to be a good day. Last night was date night. Susan and I went to our favorite Chinese restaurant and then out to Ann Arbor to listen to the Out Loud Chorus. They're a LGBT+ choir and my therapist was playing the MC (and the saxophone, I had no idea she could play) for the evening. After the show, the three of us met in person for the first time. It was magic.

 

We also beat the snowstorm home, so that was nice too.

 

This morning, outside is white and the last time I checked, it was still falling. I made stuffed French toast for breakfast. I may have overdone on the peanut butter. It was still good.

 

Now we're waiting for the white stuff to stop falling so we can run our errands. Well, that and doing laundry. It's quiet and peaceful. Just the sounds of my keyboard clacking and the snow-blowers grinding away in the distance.

 

Hugs!

That’s wonderful.   Everyone knows about me by now but no one has “met” me as me yet.  It may take time.  I have so few articles of clothing.  Lol

So all you computer techies.  I am still having intermittent issues with no being able to connect to the server TP is on.  I lost access for about 18 hours.  Just now getting back in. 
This is on all devices I use.  On different WiFi accounts and providers across two states. I  
I do not play around with the settings at all and it works most times just fine.  I don’t feel it’s a settings issue.  
I am getting frustrated missing out on what’s going on in here for huge chunks of time.  
Any suggestions on what may be going on?

I've experienced it as well.

From the Boss:  "The culprit is the server itself. Once Piper has all her equipment fully moved to the data center, she's going to pick a new machine to put us on."

Having a great day today with my afternoon coffee☕️.  Located the cemetery where my late birth mother was buried.  I called and had them email me her obituary which was not online anywhere. So after a long 7 month extensive search, I’ve found her and a huge assortment of my birth family!  Been texting my female cousin all morning and may sometime soon meet my only brother by birth.  Until today, I did not know I had any living blood family extended or immediate.  It’s amazing how life can change on a dime.

 

Yesterday was almost as amazing.  By pure luck during the search, my wife located my old trans roommate from 33 years ago.  Since we paid for all these search subscriptions we decided to find people we’ve long since been disconnected from.  So my old roommate and I have just started emailing back and forth but it looks like someday we might reconnect...we’ll see.


Here’s to tomorrow!

Susan, that sounds wonderful and terrifying at the same time. My dad was adopted, he’d found his birth family many years ago and they have been a big part of our life since. He spent the years after trying to help other adoptees reunite. Many successful, some not so much. I hope your new found family are lovely and accepting people. *hugs*

@Susan R This is nice to read.  I hope you won't be disappointed with any of them as sometimes these reunions can go sideways.  All my best to you.

 

So cool to reconnect with someone from your past that you have a present day connection with.

My mom was adopted. Found out that my grandmother by birth(is that such a thing) Was the subject of a book and later a movie about her life. my grandmother went blind in her early teens and was probably raped.

 

She was from the upper crust in new England. Great grandfather owned an outdoor outfitters. So everything was kept quiet. A young lady of society having a child out of wedlock. Was unheard of especially in 1936. So she was sent off to "school" in IL. Where my Mom was born.

 

She has been researching our family on both sides. Found out I am royalty I am descendant of King Henry the 5th.  Now kneel to your princess knaves. LOL

Thanks Jani & @SaraAW ...it has been so nice.  I hope to learn more about my bio family in time now that I’ve unlocked Pandora’s box.

I wish you and Nikki the best of luck on your reunion. Hopefully, Nikki will get all the answers about her bio mom & family she’s been searching for all her life.

That should be interesting...you’ll have to share how it all went.  I will be doing the same in the next few weeks if all works out.

Wow, this is wonderful news Adrianna.  I found this to be the case in my neighbors.  I wasn’t expecting it either.

That was a bold question by your neighbor but they probably saw that you were comfortable presenting female.  When I first came out, I can remember talking to some neighbors that had not yet seen me presenting as Susan.  They never even mentioned I was dressed as a woman.  They had likely already heard the news from another neighbor (word travels fast here).  It was several weeks later when things became routine that they were brave enough to breach the topic with me.  After a week and all their questions were answered, it’s never even discussed.  They treat me as one of the girls now...it’s been great.

Good Morning, today's it's dark roast to lift the fog, expecting rain today, it's 45 out there right now. After picking up doughnuts at Alki Beach in West Seattle, my sweetie and I spent the day yesterday visiting our youngest over in Kitsap. Relaxing ferry rides across the sound, strolling the shops and waterfront of Polsbo, WA, a distinctly Norwegian town.....

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
