ugh coffee is not working today. No energy what so ever. Nephew is supposed to be over here in a little bit to role play. Going to escape to a Galaxy far far away. 
 

@ShawnaLeigh I hate when that happens, I’ve been known to run out the door and nearly be to the car before I realize the day lol

I had to reread your post. I first thought you meant your coffeemaker was not working! That has happened to me, it sucks.

But drinking coffee with no effect? Did you check to make sure it wasn't decaf?

Hope things "perk up" for you!

@TammyAnne We use Black Rifle Coffee Company, I don't think they even make Decaf LOL.  Thankfully the coffeemaker hasn't quit just yet, though it might be on the way there.  That would qualify as essential for travel right? :)

Well so far no call from my middle son saying the baby is coming. Of course my daughter in law said she will hold him in so he won't be born today. It is my wife's birthday. And my new grandson has to have his own day. Tomorrow is the due date, If he takes after his father he will come in another week.

Best wishes for a safe birth and healthy baby @KymmieL.  On Monday your son will get the day off that he wouldn't get on Sunday!

I really wish the pride centre would re-open soon. I know it's for the best, with the virus and all, but I just want to be around people who are of similar age.

Good morning everyone. Just headed to work luckily I still get to go to work after they issued a stay at home order.

Hi everyone 

 

what a strange weather year we’ve all had so far.  Our temperatures dropped over forty degrees Fahrenheit in the past 36 hours and are rebounding back up again in the next two days. 
 

The virus is really causing a lot of trouble for the world. Every day the news delivers more spread, death and closings.  I know it is difficult to handle dysphoria when you can’t be with others where you can express yourself and listen to others but we are all going to have to use this forum and our remote friends to get through this together.

 

stay home and stay safe.

I was not feeling well at all over the weekend but today I feel 1000% better.  Still have an ache in my right ear but the rest is gone. 

Or

Its the Dayquil making me feel this good.  

I'm able to chew at least.  LOL

 

Coffee gone AND YES I AM AT WORK.  Unfortunate I am the only Biomed Tech who works in two hospitals that collectively have 11 clinics associated with them and they need like 4 Techs but I am it so I am busy busy.  

 

Hope you all have a safe and wonderful day!

Shawna, you and me both are  needed at work.  They say we are an essential business.  Don't really know about that.  

However I have the coffee cooking in the big percolator.  Should be  ready soon.  

 

Still  no word on the baby front. I guess it is a waiting game now. 

 

Can't believe the lack of traffic  lately it is almost creepy.  Everyone stay safe and healthy. 

 

Hugs, 

Kymmie

That would qualify as an emergency in my book!

This might be coming from higher up...same thing here in Washington State.  I was doing this anyways due to the high infectious rate here.

Coronavirus: Gov. Inslee orders statewide shutdown of restaurants, bars; further limits gatherings

There is nothing higher up.  Governors are in charge!  Federal government isnt doing anything...

Good morning.

 

Had my coffee but realized I only have enough for one more day!  Our County Sheriff's department announced that they would deliver prescriptions to seniors.  Anybody know how I can get a prescription for coffee?

 

Rainy day with thunderstorms expected later.  I never do well when I am stuck inside.  Yes, there are things I should be doing but they are all outside.

Caffeine is a drug.  So check the pharmacies.  LOL

Well today started sans coffee, I dropped the pot ?. Thankfully I was able to stop after work and get a new one.  Our shelter order goes into effect tomorrow morning, but thankfully I will still be able to work.  Technically I'm employed indirectly by the Federal Reserve, so as long as services are open that need money I will be rolling.  Which is a blessing and a curse, I'm still working so I'm still getting paid but I'm out and exposed.

Finally a day with temps in the 60s sunshine and no rain. I don’t think I’m gonna know how to act haha. Hope everyone has a good day.

OMG @Emily michelle it was 7*F at my house this morning!  I'm about done with being half froze all the time.  Though it does lock up all the mud here when its this cold.  VT is in the thick of Mud Season.  LOL

Long drive to work this AM heading into NH with hot coffee and very loud music.  I think I can sing good or something, but apparently not that good as I have to drown out my own voice with the volume.  LOL

The craziness continues out there and I am hoping all my friends here are staying healthy and safe!

Have a wonderful day!

In the 40s here, foggy but supposed to be sunshiney today.

Regardless of the weather there's nothing so good as that first sip of coffee in the morning.

I'm feeling antsy with the "social distancing" thing going on. I had so wanted to meet a nice guy, be held and cuddled for as many hours as the day is long. Instead I had a "telephone date" with a guy I'd met who told me he thought I was strange and not in the least bit pretty. Crushed. Totally crushed. I at least thought I had pretty eyes.

So it's literally back to the drawing board.

I can scribble away the aching need inside for a while.

TammyAnne I'm so sorry that your date turned out to be a <water balloon> bag. keep your chin up and smile. 

Well still no news on the baby front. But my daughter in law has a Dr appointment today and the Dr may induce either today or tomorrow.  He is as stubborn as his father. He was later too, and had to be induced.

 

Well new on the work front. We are now closing at 7:30 instead of 9. We have slowed down quite a bit. I did get my hall pass yesterday. A letter stating that I worked for an essential business and can be out. in case of a shelter in place order comes. 

 

Waiting on coffee again. On my closing shift days and days off I should set up the coffee pot and just turn it on once I get up.

 

Keep healthy and happy, everyone.

 

Hugs

Ouch @TammyAnne that was not just mean but down right rude.  I would never say that to another human being even if I did not think they were the least bit attractive and I am dead sure honey you do have pretty eyes!!!!

I am floundering around myself with this very topic.  I have caused quite a stir in my circles and have been attracting some weirdos recently.  I guess every girl need to practice being a bitch at one time or another. (wink wink)

I main just politely refuse them but some of them are persistent.  Like that is attractive?!?!  Not to me anyways...

So keep your head up and keep smiling.  Be your best most positive self and that my dear is what your soul mate will lock on to.

At least that's the advice I am telling my self as I go to bed lonely every night.  LOL

Honestly I am in no position to date anyways.  I need to get passed this divorce and learn more about who Shawna really is.

Well that guy obviously wasn't worth your time. That's just not something you tell a lady. Ever.

 

On the bright side, all experiences are good experiences in the sense that they can inspire your art. The next guy will probably be better. They teach them to be gentlemen in the south, right? ?

 

Hugs!

The phone guy is the odd duck.  I would’ve said to him, “Oh stop! Hon, You had me at...You’re Strange!” and promptly hung up on him.  So much for chivalry.  Some people just don’t know how it works. Sorry you had to deal with this idiot. Dating isn’t always fun.

 

I’m home (isn’t everyone?) and having a very late morning with scrambled eggs with bacon bits and a vanilla caramel mocha. Mmmmm... the added vanilla works so well with my usual caramel mocha.  My wife loves it too.

 

Anyways, I’m in a really good mood despite the world going to ‘hell in a hand basket’. Yesterday morning, I found a new therapist for another letter of recommendation for GRS as my surgeon requires two letters.  She said she’s booked right now but will call me back if she has any cancellations.  Well late last evening, she emailed me and said she has an opening this week. She will do the therapy via video but needs to see in person once initially ...this Friday!!  I am so happy about this.  I was hoping it could all be done via video conference method but she did say her office is sterilized between patients and she now inserts a 15 min. gap between every patient’s scheduled visit.  I feel good that I’m able to move forward on this road to my surgery even if it’s in a very small step.  Most of the other things in my life are on holding pattern so finding this therapist and getting this all lined up yesterday has really helped.

 

Hope everyone is doing OK..hang in there!

Susan R?

Thank you for the encouraging words @KymmieL @ShawnaLeigh @Jackie C. @Susan R I'm recovering my happy self, but it sure stung at the time.

I'm determined I can do better and deserve better.

I seem to get a lot of friend requests from weirdos too. When the written English is very badly broken but they claim to be from nearby, alarm bells go off for me.

WOW yeah I couldn’t do 7 degrees. We only get that a few times a winter which is perfectly fine by me because I’m a field mechanic so I spend all my time outside. We have had no shortage of mud I’m so sick of it lol.


Tammy I’m sorry your date didn’t go well. I’m sure it will get better just keep your head up. I give you a lot of credit I couldn’t do it if I had to start dating I had insecurity issues before I got married and I know I couldn’t do it now.

      Indeed.  While it seems like the majority of LGBTQ+ folks vote for Democrat candidates, not everybody drinks the Kool-Aid.  I'm a registered Independent, since I vote for individuals rather than party.  One of my trans friends is very pro-Trump - wears her MAGA hat and everything.  I find it interesting to see the reactions she gets... folks aren't always as tolerant as they claim to be.  Even on this forum, you get some real flak from Democrat voters....many will insist that the California way is the only way.    In my opinion, "Project 2025" isn't the real problem.  Check out UN "Agenda 2030."   
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      While Biden may be more friendly to trans folks, I'm not a single-issue voter.  I just can't choose a Democrat candidate, as I believe their actions will destroy my community and way of life.  Biden just announced that he wants to significantly increase capital gains taxes.  Maybe he intends to "tax the rich" but that is going to affect everything from land sales to grocery prices to the cost of electricity and even folks' retirement savings, as most companies make a large amount of their profits through investing in the market.  It is absolute lunacy to think that increased cost or reduced profits won't be passed on to the rest of us.  Things are going to get way worse at this rate.    Mostly, I vote in elections for state and local issues, as the national government is about as pleasant as a Porta-Potty in July.  So, either I'll do a write-in vote for president, or I'll check the box for Trump.  Anything but Biden.

      Interesting...never knew any of this.  Of course, in my girl form I never got breasts, so I never had to worry about it.  A couple of pieces of tape would have been sufficient...      Sounds like fun   It has been interesting for me since I stopped trying to do sex like a girl.  The real surprise was my relationship with my husband, as he has figured me out pretty well.

      They were sitting on the love seat, looking west out over Kansas.  Below them the busy city ran to and fro.   "They called.  My surgery has been rescheduled for May 8.  I need to be there at 5 AM for pre-op.  I start prescriptions and diet change on May 1."   "Okay."  Bob did his not-thinking-about anything look.  Taylor was always amazed that he could  actually be thinking about absolutely nothing. She was always thinking of at least six things.   "How can they be like that?" "What?"  He startled a little.  Contact with reality was reestablished. "Where does the hate come from?  Mrs. McArthur?  She was always polite, but I think she wasn't really.  Somehow she hated me even though there were no indications whatsoever." "Yeah, well, you know they are starting up that plant.  And my company is going ahead with their work there, down n Milliville.   I will have to go down there sometimes." "Oh, Bob." "Maybe I will stop by and ask her." "No." "No.  Cabaret is closed, I have been told.  Your transgender support group has scattered to other places." "What is wrong with those people?" "Same thing as Roosevelt, I guess.  You know all the racial comments against Blacks?  Like that game where our cheerleaders started this insulting cheer, an the opposite team was mostly Black? Teachers stopped it." "I didn't know.  I was staying away from that, remember?" "Yes." "You know all those kids at our church, the ones you called freaks the other day?" "I shouldn't have called them that." "Pastor tells me they are all from all over the Midwest.  These are kids who have been thrown out of their homes and were found on the street.  Other shelters would not take them, so they wound up here." "Not surprising." "I think we could do some good here." "What do you have in mind?" And she told him.

      You are spot on here ... but also it seems like such a rigged game for the average person that it's hard to invest energy into the political arena -- too much big money controlling too many people/organizations/narratives for the common person to fee; heard...   In general, why we in America accept either candidate is baffling... for all our innovation as a nation, we can't do better than these two bozos?    The problem is, the political arena is such a sham -- again with large money controlling all aspects of the system -- that a common-sense, love-your-neighbor, make-reasonable-compromises, roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work candidate will never make it anywhere above the local level (if even there)...    Everything is a reality show, and boring ol' decision makers that try to benefit the most people don't generate enough clicks, views and retweets...  I am not sure it is so much about celebrity as it is about party politics at all costs - "my side must always be viewed as right and your side must always be viewed as wrong!" kind of thinking... there is no consensus building anymore because that will get used against you in campaign ads... When Obama took office and then Hilary ran again, it was like all Republicans want to do was to find someone loud enough to put them in their place. Forget issues, forget character, just win a debate and rally the base.    To get back to your original point, not enough of us care about politics ... and in some ways we've become fat, happy and entitled as a nation. The yearning to achieve the "American dream", which drove my parents and their parents before them to work their tails off and sacrifice and save, is now just "give me the American dream for free while I sit here on my phone and watch tiktok..."

      Oh, another comment.   I am a conservative evangelical with strong Republican leanings. So is my wife, my friends, my family. I disagree with a good amount of what the Republicans are doing, but there it is.  I understand the mindset, I think, a lot better than those who are outside it do.   When you insult Republicans you insult me, my friends, my family.   People like me can struggle with trans issues.   Please consider that in posting.

      I found this as well. No playacting, they just appear: the finger waggle wave; bracing my elbow on my other arm that's folded across my chest, wrist in the air half-cocked; walking a bit more fiercely... All that. My wife thought I was mocking her at one point!
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I find my lack of time to read the thing frustrating, and I will not really comment until I have read it.  This is a wholly inadequate response.   1.  I think there are some legitimate concern.   2. Thoroughly discussing this will consume many threads.   3. I disagree partially with @MaeBe but there is partial agreement.   4. The context includes what is happening in society that the authors are observing.  It is not an isolated document.   5. Trump, if elected, is as likely to spend his energies going after political opponents as he is to implementing something like this.    6. I reject critical theory, which is based on Marxism.  Marxism has never worked and never will.  Critical theory has problems which would need time to go into, which I do not have.   7. There are groups who have declared war on the nuclear family as problematically patriarchal, and a lot of other terms. They are easy to find on the internet.  This document is reacting to that (see #4 above).   8.  Much of this would have to be legislated, and this is a policy documented.  Implementation would  be most likely different, but that does not mean criticism is unwarranted.

      Sort of bracing myself for flipping, because I am wearing f and of course I wear f and it is natural to wear f and what else would I wear?  The  novelty is long gone out on this.  I wore a bra most of yesterday but we had a Zoom call and I took the bra off because I was concerned about the straps showing.  I missed it.    My body is saying "I am female!  Treat me that way!"   In the past it has screamed about this activity that  I have done to it.
