Hi everyone!
I guess a few things that make me… me.
I’m a native Houstonian. Older GenXer.
Former Marine journalist and photographer.
I’m married to a wonderful caring woman. Yeah… gay.

I’m a parent. Small business owner. I use ellipses way more than a person should.
Kinda into photography, songwriting, hammering metal, short stories, watercolor… stuff.

I like riding my bike and I love my dog.

Oh… and I’m a trans girl.
So yeah. Just your average every day model ‘Murican.

Whoa! It’s really dark and ominous looking right now. The sky is way too dark for just after 6 o’clock at this time of year. This might be a bumpy night tonight.

Fahhhck!!!
That lightning was friggin’ close!

The wind is really bad right now. I’m kind of hunkered down behind a small building trying to block the wind and rain.

My wife just called and they have all gone into a center room that has no windows. Tornado has touched down in the area at my house. I’m still on the road.

It's not fair to call Tonya Harding trashy or low class because it's not her fault she was named Tonya.

My wife pronounces it care-uh-mell, too! Not sure how that happened being that she grew up in North Texas and the Panhandle.

Well, they do talk funny up there though. 😜

What advice would you give to someone just starting out in a relationship?

Mine might sound kind of dark in relation to the question, but here goes:

People change, and they should, it's part of being a person. Some people are lucky, and they change in the same direction, but some don't, and that's okay too. There's no shame in leaving a relationship or changing the nature of a relationship that no longer serves you. We are all taught that every relationship, whether romantic or friendship, is supposed to last forever, but nothing is forever, and forcing something that no longer works, just ends in anger and bitterness. Knowing when to let go is as important as knowing when to hold on through a rough patch, and how to know either of those things is the most cliché advice of all, COMMUNICATE.

@miffyhelen
I think this is one of the most important aspects of a relationship. And I'm assuming the relationship Ricki intended was a romantic relationship but I think it can apply to a business relationship or friends relationship.

My wife met her bestie about a year and a half ago. And very early on my wife decided not to mask her bit of neuro spicy autism which had been formally diagnosed a few months earlier. Turns out her friend has a touch of the neuro spiciness and they are like two peas in a pod.

If this friend of hers wasn't straight as an arrow, I'd say they'd make better marital partners than my wife and I do.

I recently came across someone talking a little bit about a quote attributed to the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche:

"Not the absence of love, but the absence of friendship makes the unfortunate marriages."

I would agree.
I remember when I was in college as a teen, I took a sociology class and on the subject, the professor said, "Find someone who is EXACTLY like you in every way, except the opposite sex. Or the same sex if that is who you are attracted to."

So I would tell someone who is ready to be in a romantic relationship... Be friends. Find your best friend because good, hard, strong friendship is the highest form of love.

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

My late mother was a really big fan of Charley Pride, a crooner of country music in the 70s. I had no idea he was ground breaking as a black musician in country music at the time.

And although I grew up steeped in country music because of my momma in the 70s, my teens found me turning to rock.

This band, Living Colour was a fave while in college.

I was just reminded of around twenty years ago when this guy who I knew on LiveJournal took extreme creative liberty and used the head from my LiveJournal profile pic and Photoshopped an image of me and sent it to me as a "gift" and I was just like "uhhhhhhhhhh...thank you?"

I mean an American Girl doll staring from a hall closet fantasy seems like it would qualify as a weird fantasy instead of a normal fantasy.

You know like a normal fantasy might be… let’s say Dolly Parton’s face on a chocolate cake box singing “🎶 yawn and stretch and try to come to life🎶 just before seggsy time.

Or maybe Snoop Dog making parsley laced brownies so one can feel like part of the cool kids at his all nehked celebrity party.

Just for clarity, those are not mine. Just examples. 😬

I'm headed back to Lowe's. I was supposed to get caulk there yesterday but never made it inside the store, got "lost" in the nursery, only bought plants. I think today I should park and enter the store. I need caulk. I'm telling you this to hold myself accountable.
Happy Saturday 😊

@Skepticat
I recently came across a video of a woman who seems like an expert when it comes to getting the right caulk for the job.

Just in case you need it, I’ve attached it for taking notes.

@Bianca and I had an absolutely blast last night at the Winston Salem Hype Hens(Usually the Dash) game last night here in Winston Salem.

Winston Salem won the game 3 - 0 against the Asheville Tourists.

As you see, we even got to hang out with Bolt for a bit during the game!

A photo I took of myself, my wife and Bolt, the mascot for the Winston Salem Dash baseball team.

@CoachMark
I love minor league baseball. It feels like it has a different energy than the big leagues. Like the guys still have a bit of that “love of the game” spark still left in them.

We used to have a semi-pro team in the area, which felt very minor league-ish… The Sugar Land Skeeters. Loved it. We even bought a mini season tix package a couple of seasons.

It got bought and is now a farm team for the Astros. Mascot is the Space Cowboys. Very unfortunate.

Our new adopted team is from my wife’s hometown of Amarillo… Go ! We were able to catch a game when she was at a biz conference in Corpus Cristi last year. Fun times. Sod Poodles won!

@cliffwade
Ha! No kidding!
Well how neat is that. Such a fun little ball park right? Pretty much not a bad seat in the house. Haven’t been since it became the home to the Space Cowboys though.

We might have a chance to catch The Sod Poodles a couple of times this year though. Really hope we can. Maybe in Fort Worth as she has a conference there when they’ll be in town. And we might visit her brother in San Antone when the team is there to play The Missions.

girls go through an awkward phase. We all do. It takes us a while to come in to our own... like a really long time.

But if you're lucky...

if you're lucky enough to have a trans woman in your life who let's you in and trusts you, it's an amazing thing to see and be part of as we become beautiful.

Happy Friday everyone!
I have another submission. This time it’s even got a Fun Fact About Wren. 😉

p.s. my apologies for the ASMR breathing sound of my recording. I did this while people were still asleep and was a little close to the microphone.

I saw this a few weeks ago and thought of my friend @Alice because she has said on a couple of occasions that when she hears my audio clips, my accent makes her think of Dolly Parton telling a story.

Huge compliment in my opinion. Now if I could only get my face on a box of chocolate cake mix. Sorry… chocolate flavored cake mix.

Yeah. That would be the shit.

So today, I will have a teeny, tiny needle jabbed into my face a couple hundred times. With each stab it will have an electric current turned on to kill a hair follicle.

Yes... A single hair follicle. One hair follicle at a time, for an hour.

I am not looking forward to this at all. Not all trans women/transfemme people get electrolysis on their face but I am.

<sarcasm font>Let me tell ya folks... being #trans isn't all rainbows and unicorns 24/7 like you might think. </sarcasm font>

@lisamelton
I've actually tried it before... just two sessions. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it wasn't pleasant. In fact, it kinda sucked.

But I bought this off of Groupon a few months ago and it expires today. So yeah, I've been putting it off because... needles.

I'm a little nervous because of the owner as well. On her facebook page she has a post that proclaims her love of Jesus soooo... yeah. There's that, too.

I should have picked up some numbing cream sooner.

Maybe I can find something over the counter that will help a little.

Aaagh! Yeah... that's another reason that steers me away from getting full depth, should I even get that surgery.

THAT does not sound like something I want to endure. Good luck, hon.

New guy at work pings me periodically today. Indicates that I seem to know a lot about everything (I assure him I know what I need to know and a little about enough other things to fake my way through most things).
Anyway, I join this call where most ppl yell at each other, when I am asked to speak, I get ppl laughing; I remark to him in message, that "I haven't yelled at anyone here...yet..."
Then, I was used as a pawn in the meeting. This went badly for most. This is when I took full control of the call, outlined what I needed, what is an outage, what next steps need to happen (to another company's CEO lol).
When I was done, I typed to him "for the record, I've still not yelled. I'm just a mom, that's how I sound."

Same here @Waitnwallflower

I also should add I think I've felt this particular brand of mom vibes. And I'm killing it on shot day because of it, too. Been at the 10min mark for the past three weeks.
