Morning All!  We had a little snow last night but it will warm to low 40's today.  I'm going to let it melt rather than bring out the shovel.  No where to go today!

Good morning all.  Well, it's cold here but relative to most of you it's actually pretty darn pleasant...and absolutely gorgeous out today.    But, we actually DID have to turn on the heat last night.  LOL  It got down to the low 30's oh my.  Be well everyone!

Hi everyone 

 

took us 9hours to get home a distance of right about 500 miles. Learned som things about my new to me car.  First one is important , the gas gauge is accurate and the gas tank capacity is as advertised.  And the car calculated gas mileage is pretty accurate too. 

 

Anyway good oof to be home and sleeping in my own bed .

 

Hugs

PS. New Years resolution, I’m giving up soda and chocolate.

Good morning 

 

just made my coffee.   Gots lots of work to catch-up from my trips.  The yard is a mess but it’s too wet this morning and 100% chance of rain later.  On the other hand it will be mid to upper 60s here verses 30s and 40s at my daughters. Good to be home!  

 

Yes Timber Wolf, chocolate.  It won’t be easy but neither is living our lives.  If I can do this, I can do pretty much anything.

 

Hugs

Good Morning, coffee tastes wonderful, just reflecting after over 6 years of Injections for my E, I switched back to the E patch last night. So easy to use, I won't miss the needles, although IM has been very good to me. No rain this morning, more on the way tonight.

 

Have a great Saturday all

 I think I need to go grab a 2nd cup of coffee, the first one was good but my stomach is royally screwed up today. I was planning on playing house and rearranging everything since the walls got painted here a few days ago and I can start unpacking. I went down to visit with my friend in his house last night when some guests arrived and he offered us some homemade pork rinds, my tender little tummy just cannot take greasey fried things anymore, I’m paying the price today and will most likely be recovering all day long... ?

Sorry to hear that.  I know there are certain foods I enjoy that I can no longer eat beyond a bite.  Argh!  Hope you feel better in the morning.☀️

Yuck. I’v never been a fan of pork rinds and I have an allergic reaction to anything pork so I also have to abstain from eating pork. I’m actually much healthier because I avoid it. I would much rather eat baked chicken or fish. Now I do have one forbidden pleasure which is sour cream and kettle cooked potato chips but it doesn’t agree with me the next day. I’m trying to avoid anything greasy from now on but some habits are hard to break. Luckily my budget is too tight to splurge on chips and dip.

Good morning all,

Mix green onion dip equally to sour cream!?

 

Lots of love,

Pork rinds? If they are the same as pork scratchings her, I love them but I have to be very careful as they can be hard on the teeth ?

I have to be careful about what I eat.  a lot of different spices just tear me up.  Simple things like cinnamon, nutmeg, not the things you might expect like pepper.  My wife makes these cookies for Christmas called Sand Tarts.  rolled thin, have a pecan and cinnamon sugar.  She has to make mine without the cinnamon.

Hi, hope you guys made it through the cold night.  Just about to make my coffee for the day.  Sunny and clear.  High in the 60s.

 

Found a “local” support group 90 minutes away.  I’m going to go to a meeting Saturday to see what they are all about.

Great.   I hope you enjoy it.  Give it a few tries as the first time may be a bit daunting.

Still windy and cold weather. Unfortunately have to brave it for an interview. Wish me luck!

 Good luck Josie!

 

Well I didn’t have coffee in my coffee cup this morning but I did use my coffee cup and I did use my coffee maker. Instead I decided to put some oatmeal in my great big coffee mug and run some hot water in there with a spoonful of sugar and a couple of vanilla coffee creamer’s, I know, that doesn’t sound too good, but trust me since I have no kitchen and no pantry with no other options this was not a bad breakfast. 

 Getting home last night was really interesting, the weather had turned and it absolutely poured throughout the area, there was flooding all over the place, and the little culvert that we drive over to get into the backside of the property was completely washed away and a raging river replaced it. My friends wife took a picture from their car as her husband  stared in disbelief at the edge of the water, one of our neighbors on the other side doing the same, they texted me telling me don’t bother coming home there’s no way to get there. I had to chuckle to myself, I grew up out here in these hills, and this was a pretty normal thing for us when I was a kid,  I knew within an hour or two since it was no longer raining the water would subside and either we would still have something to drive on top of or not. So when I got there two hours later what was left was pretty bad, the exposed culvert pipe and very little surrounding ground leaving at fairly large 2 foot or so gap on each side of the pipe...  well, that didn’t seem to stop Jackie and her plucky little 1998 Ford minivan, we managed to fly over the culvert pipe and get home, not even seriously damaging the undercarriage.  Sometimes I feel that is just how we were taught to drive here in Hazard county...

Yeee Haaa!  lol.  Glad you got home ok.  

 

Jossie I hope your interview goes well.  Good luck!

 

Jani the first time will be difficult but I have to start somewhere. I don’t know much about this group as they are pretty secretive.  My first thought is like AA except they won’t even disclose where they meet until you ask and they decide that you are ok.

Well the interview was ok I guess but I’m probably not a good fit because I’m going to need to keep working my current schedule to catch up with finances until I’m safely back to a decent buffer. I’m also not too thrilled about the schedule that they want me to take because working nights is not compatible with my current living situation. Since I’ve got to work 2 more weeks to be able to switch jobs and still afford rent and I’m not going to be able to move for another 3 months or so, I’ve accepted that the job is not for me. I had to get the interview to find out though. But it’s probably for the best. Maybe it’s time to look at retail stores instead. I’m probably going to have to schedule a day to fill out applications my next day off.

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.
