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.....

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
