Hi

 

well no coffee today, used the last of it yesterday and haven’t gotten to a store.  Our temperatures are at least reasonable but shifty.  50s 70s 60s 80s just all over the dial.

 

my family will be joining us today. They are coming here from Virginia and our granddaughters will be staying with us for 3 weeks.  
 

The only bad news is Willow has to go back in the closet.  They don’t know about here.

OMG terrible day yesterday afternoon. 

Company car broke down on my way home.  Front wheel bearing crapped out and it was all but undrivable.  Almost home too dang it. Like 10 miles or so.  I naturally tried to call my office, but Sweet, no cell service and I knew about where I needed to walk to before I could make a call.  Great.  This blows.  

It was not to cold out but walking the side a main route in VT in Dansko clogs was not a fun thing.  I kept rolling my ankles in the uneven ground.  It sucked.  I almost feel down once and was so angry at the entire situation.

THEN there was the multiple cars that stopped to offer me a ride.  I'm thinking "sweet" but then I see, or smell, what has stopped and I'm like "No thank you".  Some wear fairly insistent and it was a tad scary.  I did not realize how many creeps were in VT but I suppose I have been sheltered from a lot of this my entire life.  They might of been nice guys but I did not get a good sense from many of them so Pass!  There were like 7 cars that stopped in my first mile and a half.  Hmm that's kinda cool but risky.  

I'm not worried with my past military training but still I don't need that sort of crap.  I did keep a hand on my "little friend" in my purse even so.  

Eventually a guy I knew stopped to offer me a ride.  Though he did not know it was me.  LOL

Yea that's the weirdest coming out I have had to date.  But he was nice and still offered me the ride.  He was always a nice guy when I knew him as male so I accepted.  He drove me to the cell service spot everyone seems to use on this road and waited and drove me back to my car.  It was pleasant to chat with him and he had a ton of good questions which I never mind answering.  Unless they get a tad personal on a physical sense.  Which he only asked one of those but felt bad instantly.  I gave him a pass on that one since he was being so nice.  Though its so true that men are so captivated by breasts.   He just had to know if mine were fake or real. Them being real was a shock to him. Though he did not ask me to prove it.  So its all good.  I took it as a compliment. LOL

 

I am now sitting at home working "remotely" before the car appointment.   Basically playing online until its time to go.  Authorized by my supervisor so I am still getting paid too.  LOL

 

Hope you all have a great day!

Shawna, wow. Glad you are OK and actually didn't have to walk all the way to service and back to your car. at least it wasn't snowing and cold.

 

Well news on the baby front, my daughter in law is at the hospital, She started contractions about 11 last night. Went to the hospital about 3:30-4 this morning. Got the text a little before 6 this morning. So it is a waiting game now.

Wow ShawnaLeigh an eventful time with your car!

I am glad you can pick up on what I refer to as my "slime meter" interacting with others. It's good to be able to have that sense kick in. Otherwise things might have gone very wrong.

Congratulations on getting through that safely.

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.

TA

I agree - you simply do not ever say that to a woman, or heck to any person.  Lordy, if that's how he treats a first date, how abrasive would he be once he got to know you?  That's is so not okay...  I'm glad you are recovering, though.  As you said, you deserve better, and you will do better,  just keep yourself out there and don't settle for losers like that.

 

I have a dear friend who grew up in my neighborhood, and his writing is atrocious.  Like, most people who speak English as a second language write better than he can.  Those weirdos might actually be from nearby!  Still, if an alarm goes off, don't ever ignore it - ignoring warning bells always gets me trouble.

This is the kind of thing that drives home how little choice we have.  Why would someone choose to become a target for creeps and weirdos?  I'm just glad that someone you could trust came along.  And what a coming out!  You were able to see both sides of the coin that is human nature...

Congratulations. The most wonderful thing about being a grandparent is that you're a superhero to your grandchildren all the time. It's something that really took me by surprise, but I quickly learned to enjoy it.

And you've got four now! That is just awesome.

My my my. That is really wonderful news.

I know you are pleased, despite the long wait.

Heal up quickly dear. There's a young woman who wants to catch up on lost time. I wish you both the happiest of times as you get settled into parenthood.

Good morning 

 

@KymmieL Congratulations for the healthy birth.  Birth weight isn’t always a good predictor of adult size.  I was 7-3 and am not a big person now.  My son was 2-9 (not a mistake) and is average now.  
 

@ShawnaLeigh you should definitely listen to your spidy sense.  Not even you hidden friend can always get you out of a jam. I have distanced my self from most all social media like Facebook and LinkedIn too many fake things out there.  Always be safe first.

LMAO I actually had to think about this one for a minute.  "My hidden friend?"  

Then I dawned on me.

"OH my S&W MP9 with Crimson Trace laser grip."  

Yea I am guessing the activated laser grip is all it would take to scare off anyone trying to take advantage of me.

If not I already have a prepared speech for the cops on why this person does not have knee caps anymore.

Well accomplished what I wanted to do yesterday. Got the factory sub working with the  aftermarket radio in the Explorer. Got the charging problem figured out in the 2dr Crown Vic even took my 71 Wagon for a drive too.

 

White crap on the ground this morning. Seemed to have stopped for now. Most of it is East of us. Just swell as that is the way we are traveling this afternoon.

 

Will wait till I get to work for my caffeine fix today. 

 

Be safe and Healthy my  sisters and brothers.

I'm glad to hear you've received validation about your "new" daughter and that all is well in your family.  

 

I hope your surgery site continues to heal well.  All my best to you and your family.

@Debra Michelle congratulations it’s a girl!  Sorry it took you all this time to find out.  Glad your gcs is healing nicely.  Sounds like you are having a good week.

 

@KymmieL I had a heck of a time getting my Explorer’s factory woofer to work with my aftermarket radio.  Everything I read kept saying I needed an after market amplifier which I wasn’t interested in adding.  Then I finally found a tiny converter RCA to hardwire for a couple of dollars. Now that works better then the door speakers.

      So, I jumped on the "E" train last week and am about 10 days into my HRT journey. I have the tiniest patch available. I laughed when I opened it. "This little thing is supposed to give me more feminine characteristics?"   I haven't really felt much of anything so far, not that I expected to at this point. I am really, really tired but that may be other factors (like staying up too late to watch NCAA basketball every night). The one noticeable difference is that my libido seems to be a lot more subdued. Not that I am proud of this, but the big M was a practically a daily part of life for me. My daily comfort and way to get an endorphin hit or just deal with loneliness. The past week, though, has been, "meh." Is that the HRT tamping things down? Or just a normal down cycle for me? Not sure yet. Time will tell.   I have been very quiet about things overall. Only a few people know. No one in my immediate family. I fear the backlash I will get when they find out. Worst- case scenario, my daughters stop talking to me. That would kill me. I hope I can show them over time, "See, I am still me."   Met with my endo on Wednesday. He is good for me to up the dose when I feel comfortable. For now, I think I am going to stand pat and take things nice and slow. Of course, I could see myself tomorrow asking him to send in the script for the higher dose...   I keep asking myself, what is the end game with all of this. Unlike many on here, I don't have a concrete answer yet. I am not convinced I will "go all the way" and change my name and ID, etc. Part of me would love to soldier on just as I am but with a lot more feminine physical characteristics and a more distinctly feminine wardrobe. What does that make me? Non-binary? Not sure.  Again, I am just me, as unorthodox as that is...   All I know is that this is something I want to do. I am comfortable walking this path for now. Again, we'll see. As always, would appreciate any feedback the more experienced folks may have. Blessings to all!    EasyE

      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.
    • Heather Shay
      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.
