Quote from: Gina P on October 13, 2026, 06:56:47 AMMade a long post the other day, only to find it lost. ARGH!
  Still working on the house, blah, blah, sound like a record.
Appliances came and are mostly installed. Fridge is huge and sticks out 11" past the front of the cabinets. This makes the island a bit close, so we opted to turn it from diagonal to a square position. Luckily I had not fastened it down yet. I hate dealing with the directions and lame templates which say drill here. Then you find out its wrong. Bathroom wall is fixed and I will hang the med cabinet again today. Stove, gas line needs to be shorter, easy fix. Microwave, needs an extension on the duct to connect, again easy fix. Of course the fridge sticks out in the hall a couple of inches to which I had decided to build a door frame to hide it. Counter tops come on Saturday. That will look nice. Other than that, still putting up trim through out the house.

  Saturday, the community building called and said they had a water leak. Of course I was able to fix it, but I felt like a man. Yes, some women are capable but it still gave me that GD feeling. 

  Still picking the last tomatoes from the garden, and the beets are huge and tasty. Dug a few potatoes and had them. Also ate the last cantaloupe. Supposed to get cold later this week. Guess I will be covering the remaining beets.

How much labor money are you saving by doing this work yourself?  It could be substantial.

Copy your long texts before posting, even if not ready to post, because things can go wrong like power, Web site down, connectivity down, you get logged off, etc.  and copying texts saves frustration. 

Are there coal mines near you?

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Saving a very substantial amount, or I would not be doing it!
No coal mines in this area. Gas and oil wells abundant here.

I think my problem posting is I shut my laptop to quick, before it has finished loading the post.

  Weighed in yesterday. Now at 180 lbs.! That's a loss of 40 lbs. I cant believe I could ever lose this much. Seeing curves, I never had before. Most of my clothes are getting loose, and my bra's are slipping up. Belts have run out of holes. Soon I will have to go clothes shopping. Now for a try at 170!

  On a more personal note: while exploring my 'V', I have noticed a ring of fine tissue inside, like a band. Its located several inches deep inside. When I dilate it stretches but then closes mostly before next session. Would message make this go away or encourage it to glow more?

I have a Roper Whitney hole punch for making extra holes in belts and straps.  I bought the optional one size smaller punch and die set to make tiny holes.

Sometimes belts can be easily altered or taken to a shoe repair place to be re-sewn.

Perhaps a drill can be used to make belt holes.  That does not cutoff excess belt material so the belt length would stay the same, but at least you would have more holes.  A leather good making shop should be able to do both shortening and making holes.  Maybe a horse place that might work with leather?

A drill can tear an ugly hole.

The Roper Whitney tool makes nice clean holes suitable for clothing.

Gina P

Yes, I have a leather hole punch. Point is having an extra couple of inches of pants to fold up under it. I really don't want to go clothes shopping till I'm done with my weight loss.

Girl pants are cut differently and sized right for my body.  I can pull them up and they will stay up, even though I haven't done the fasteners.

It is nice to get new outfits Gina.

On my feed, everyone's feed has reset to the earliest postings. Many are back to 2024. I can scroll to the latest but all are reset backward. Is this on my end or is everyone having this problem?

Did you go in via the "recent topics" tab? That always goes to the start. Other routes to the end.

If you just go to any thread, it goes to the oldest first, page 1 of the posts for that thread, unless you select a page number (of any of the 20 posts per page.)

If you click using the Unread Posts list, it will go to the first one you have not yet seen.

If you click from the left side of the Recent Topics list, it goes to the oldest, page 1.
If you click from the right side, it goes to the new posts.

At least I think so.
