A good Friday morning to everyone. Have the next two days off. work Sat then another 2 days off. Plus my wife and youngest are going to Lincoln, Ne to visit my oldest.

 

So Fri-most of Sun I have for ME. Just trying to think of what to do. So, I need to go to the VA to get my yearly letter stating my disability %. For my DV license plates. I just may go to Ulta beauty and get some things. Does anyone know if they offer make up classes?

 

Well I went ahead and did the changes with work. I am moving forward.

@Shaysorry for your loss Hun. Loss a younger brother a year ago this month and know how hard it is to recover from a sibling loss you always thought would be there with you.

 

@Emily michellehope for a negative result on Saturday and a speedy recovery for you wife.

To everyone else, wear a mask, stay distanced and avoid crowds, wash your hands and use sanitizer.  We keep both liquid and sanitizing cloths in our cars and use them all the time.  And since I’m being an advertisement for health and safety, get a flu shot! Pneumonia and shingles too if you are old enough.

Agree this is best advice to everyone. :) 

Love to all.

@JoniSteph thank you for your kind words - loss of first sibling does bring mortality more in focus and reminds me to keep working towards unuifying my inside and outside to where it should be and complete the transition I started.

Hi everyone just chilling out here in my room. I started watching the show transparent last night. I think it’s a good show so far. I’m bound a determined to teach myself how to wear a headband with out looking ridiculous lol. Have a good day everyone!

Transparent was a groundbreaker - that's for sure and not all trans people are beauty queens and muscle men... sadly enough - but it's good to see reality - The movie NORMAL with Tom Wilkerson is also very good.

I only watched it this year.  Haven't see it all, but it was better than I expected.

@KendraMLI know what that is like. I have COPD so lots of times I have to lower mask to breathe through my nose.

Feels like cheating :)

A change, I only have Thur and Friday  off. The the same for next week. The manager isn't taking as many day off. Oh, well.  Still have after work on Saturday. 

 

I got an email from HR conferming that the change was done in the computer system.  On weird thing she addressed me by Kymmie. But I  signed the email as Kymbrill.  She must have remembered from a previous email that I sent.  Cool.

Awesome! Congratulations! Kudos! Promotions all around!

 

In all seriousness, these little victories always seem to matter the most to me. Little moments like that are what you always remember.

 

Hugs!

I am starting to enjoy it,the used car dealer I bought it from treated me very good.Has the 5.7 hemi in it.I don't buy the vehicle on the spot,a trip to my mechanic for an inspection is first.I want to know if it is a good car or not,my mechanic charges me nothing for the inspection

Kendra, congrats on the new car!  

 

Every time I take my car in for service, I am haunted by the thought that this time the service advisor is going to tell some really bad news.  My car is thirteen years old and has 233,000 miles.   Somehow though it keeps chugging along as if it were a virtually new car.  

 

I have to confess I have no idea what a Dodge Charger looks like.  There was a time a lifetime ago when I knew pretty much every car model.  My interest in cars has faded with age.   Hopefully it will prove utterly reliable.  

 

All the best,

 

Katy

I wonder if I was the cause for the gender identity to be added as a discrimination in the companies policies? Because it was just after I had emailed the girl at HR. When I noticed it.

@KymmieLI had a similar experience. Two weeks after the company OK'd and updated my info they issued information for everyone to take a course on sexual harassment and discrimination. Apparently my state has recently made it a requirement for everyone, for employment but I didn't know that so I was like OGM this is my fault.

@KymmieL @ElizabethStar that’s interesting that both of your employers made sure employees were given information on sexual harassment.  more employers and states should act accordingly.

I think that was good both of your employers updated their policies. I honesty don’t know what my employer would do about that. I’m afraid I would still face constant ridicule regardless. My past employers would not have done anything to  their policies.

Today I’ve managed to make 6 months on hrt. I’m so happy. Its hard to believe how far I’ve come. I would have never thought I’d make it this far. I have my moments but I’m in a much better state than I was before. The changes are great I actually have boobs now and I have to wear a bra when I go out. It’s funny I used to be so happy to wear a bra now sometimes I can’t wait to take it off. My skin is much softer now even though it is much easier irritate. I actually just noticed my face is beginning to look rounder. I smiled the other day when I looked in the mirror and actually saw Emily. I’m excited to see what the next 6 months bring.

      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.

      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.
