Are you glad to have the emotions?

    @Gina P
Dear Gina:
Terrific update that you posted on your Blog....
    I like my "BOB" aka: Battery Operated Boyfriend, it even has an on/off switch and
    I keep fresh batteries on hand.

If you and I continue on with that subject we should consider going to the "Sexuality" sub-forum board!
LOTS of Fun for certain ! ! !

Regarding politics, I understand what you are saying.  Politics and Religion are "hot topics that
can get people going.  We do have a "Politics" and "Spirituality" sub-forums that can be utilized for deeper conversations that uninterested members will not go to.

I always look forward to your postings on your Blog Thread and elsewhere around the Forum.

Oh, and how is Dundee doing?  Liking the new surroundings?

A couple of weeks ago, I  that I had my first Orgasm since surgery. No, it was not a fluke! Had several since and each one has been better than the last. Last night I took my mechanical  friend into the shower and .... knees went weak, I grabbed for something to hold on to. The door flung open and I almost fell out onto the floor. Wow! Ok maybe TMI, sorry. 😮
  I continue to cry a lot. I have read stories from others that get emotional at the start of HRT. That never happened to me and I have never really been able to cry. Now years latter its trippy to tear up over a song or FB post. I'm sure things will settle down in a few weeks but for now its different.
  Many of my friends, who don't like to talk politics, but always do anyways, have stopped talking to me. I found their 'NO' politics rule only applies to view points that went against theirs. Even a call for love and peace is considered wrong. No big loss. At least now I know who my true friends are!

I feel more alive then ever. Of course it's going to take some getting used to. I never realized how dead I felt inside before coming off this drug. Of course I don't agree with everything said around me but I feel inclined to comment more about my feelings which I now have. To answer your question, yes I'm glad!

   Don't worry Danielle, I won't be talking about "BOB" anymore. I was just happy that after 19 months post op, it finally happened. I had all but given up hope.
  Dundee is doing fine. I think he and Finnegan miss their old barn. They only have a shed to get into now. Perhaps next year I will get some stalls built and a proper barn. For now though my home is more important. Ridding has ground to a halt as the weather is not fit for it, or am I just getting soft? I was looking at old pic's on my phone, where we road in snow and cold. Now it just doesn't seam that important.

Oh, that's great! I wan't sure if it was unwanted or neutral or desirable, so this is fantastic to hear.

Congratulations!

My emotions have leveled out. Still cry easily at things happy or sad but I think that's the way it is supposed to be. 
   So tired of all the political bickering in the country. When will it end? On a good note: WV has a bill going through their house, HB 5251. It would expend the states, 'Human rights act' to include protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity..... Hopefully it will pass.
   Work continues to drag on in the renovations to the house. Most of the floor is removed. Floor beams are 24" apart. I will have to move and then add a few, to make it 16" apart. I also need to add some support beams to help in the longer spans.Then comes plywood. I am also going to rebuild the very steep cellar steps, soon before the floor.
   It's been brutally cold. Most mornings its 0 or below. (I know Danielle, that's warm for you!) Today it is supposed to break, and go up to the 60's. I can't wait!

That sounds like a fun project. A lot of work, but fun.

I remodeled my kitchen ages ago. The end result made it all worth it.
