Docs in a bit, they want 4 blood pressure readings again, well 138/88, 137/90 130/93 135/84 heart rate of 60. I don't want to take Statins as heard bad things about them , main reason for going is blood test for hormone level. Will call in on Deb after ,she rang me again last night and I am sure she forgot she rang me in the morning. She didn't know what day it was as well but then that's Deb ! Dyslexic and she recons bipolar ,what a mix.

Sounds like another nail in the Conservatives coffin ?

If you like I will PM you the Gobi Aloo recipe, thats if you can get the spices. Ground coriander, Garam Masala , turmeric and the one you might have trouble with dried mango powder.

Last night it was fishcakes with broccoli and asparagus, tonight its curry surprise (defrosted a container that I didnt label)

Sorry to hear about those nasty and misguided lawmakers.
In Connecticut the law banning conversion therapy on minors unanimously passed and was immediately signed by the Governor in 2015.  Interestingly enough, there were 18 members on either party in the vote passing it, so it received unanimous bipartisan support.
They later repealed the "gay panic defense" in 2019.

This comes as no surprise, yet another TERF island decree.

All teaching of gender identity at all ages is now to be banned (heard that before?). Every day there is another onslaught.

If a teacher is asked about gender identity  they must say that gender ideology (existence of transgender and non binary people) is contested.

Another attempt by our government to eliminate transgender children and if any do rise their heads, directed to talking therapies that by another name are conversion therapies or considers all transgender tendencies as mental heath illness.

And they are going after adults next.

It's been a boring week so far. Sleep/work/dinner/sleep. There is a junkyard golf event comming up at work (yep crazy golf in a junkyard) I probably will not be able to go as I have run out of money for the month, my fault for going out too much at weekends.

Quote from: Michelle_K on May 12, 2024, 10:25:42 PMThere was a question about when or how it felt the first time wearing a dress. Like I said assigned male at birth. I would like to know why there are pictures of me as a baby wearing very feminine dresses. I say feminine as there was lace and ribbons. This was in 1949. There is another picture of me in a dress on my first birthday.

Welcome back Michelle.  Sorry to hear about you accident, glad to hear your on the mend and back home.

That "Dress" with the lace and ribbons may have been a christening gown.  There were a couple of such gowns on my mother's side of the family.  My uncle's and aunt's were baptized in one of them.  I was, my siblings were, and most of my cousin's were.  Possibly my grand parents too.  When it was time for a christening, a gown was sent from who ever last had it.  Often it was delivered in person for the christening.  Back in the day, Baptisms were a very big deal with Italian Catholic families and just one of the many reasons for the extended family to gather together. There's a very sweet photo of me, laying in some kind of bassinet with off white satin sheets, in an off-white lace gown that extended past my feet by a good bit.  It's a black and white photo so I'm assuming the sheets were off white.  I know the gown was, my son was baptized in the same gown.

I can't speak to the first birthday dress, not a clue.

Paulie.
