I did not smoke much, ultra light things, no cough or junk. But one is too many I know.  Thanks for advise, everyone is pushing me to stop & that's OK.

You're a winner hon, we're just being supportive, we're all rooting for you! BTW i said that to a bunch of Aussies and they thought it was a riot  but we know what we're talking about here huh? Good luck girlfriend you can do it!

I've gotten so used to everyone calling me Roxi that today when I had to put my legal name on a form and show my license (old picture, male name...) I about broke into tears. The lady at the desk could tell that I was having a hard time with it, and she was very comforting...

...but I just want "HIM" to be gone forever.

I know how that feels. Had a couple of times that I used my new name instead of my legal name. Crossing it out after I noticed it. It hurts so much to remember that you are still being regarded as the person you never really was.

Don't worry, Roxi. The day will come when your old name never comes up again.

I appear to have gotten sick as well. Luckily, it's not as bad as my son's, but I feel poorly and need to do a lab today.

Thank you all for the support. I need it now. tomorrow is the funeral and I need to be strong...

I try to look at the things in a more eastern philosophic way... I am not religious and I believe we are much more than just bodies. I know my friend is not ended - she is just changing her form of being and I am sure we will meet again, when my time comes (I am in no hurry, of course).

She was so bright, positive, always smiling person, full of energy and constantly motivating and helping everyone, often forgetting about herself... She always talked about her illness like it's only some cold she got... I wish I had her strength and energy...

I am sad today, for my sisters here who are having a difficult day.

I am sad today, knowing I have hurt my wife and family terribly with myself.

I am sad today, as I am going home today, and have to face them.

I am sad today, because I will have to move out, and be on my own again, after 30+ years with my family.

And not even being dressed, while I type this, can change that sadness.

With such positive memories you will always have her with you hon!

I hope not. I'm psyching myself up to find a way to tell her that she's spooking me by asking to see pics, and I want to send her a list of things you shouldn't say to trans* people. But if that doesn't work, yes it will be time to block. In the meantime, I'm just awkwardly avoiding FB. 

Cant you just turn off Chat(disable it)?  I have, and now no longer get pestered when I sign in.

Getting yelled at by an angry mob.

Being asked out by a really good looking guy.

Really?  If nothing else it was a helluva great complement big head horsey-faced cookie monster! I'd like to spank you girl, I was happy until I read that! 

Father-in-law and his new wife we've never even met are coming over tonight and they want liquor to drink that we don't have.   Seriously, I have a fully stocked bar and now I have to go buy 2 different bottles of crappy whiskey that will probably sit in there forever.

Freaky dreams, one of which was too real, could happen, and I don't ever want to give it the thought of it actually happening.

My left breast has a scar that won't go away

I've been doing a series of public information sessions about our new report card. The audience from the other night came in with an axe to grind and a lot of anger to vent.

By the end of the night, I managed to talk them down and make headway, but not before taking a fair amount of verbal abuse.

That sounds terrifying.
