The truths that we all tried to hide
Are so much clear when it's not our lives
We don't face the blame
AWTM is correct in her comments on the last post ... thanks to the world of hormone therapy, I have entered the world of an increasing bust size ...
... Something which I'm sure was pleasurable for the passers-by as I got caught in an absolute downpour this evening. I was nothing short of completely soaked ...
And now that I've lost the male population of the readership ... I'll keep going below the fold for the um, three readers that I have left?
more...

mmmMMMM....rain...
Hey, I made it past those lines! Sorry to hear what you're going through. Really. It's got to be tough, but it appears you're doing the right thing.

What makes you think the first few lines would make you lose "the male population of the readership"? I am always interested in what the female population has to say. Your minds are so much more intricate than ours. I'd much rather talk to and listen 2 a woman than a man. The trouble is that I can only do it for a short while at a time. It's information overload. Men's brains aren't wired for it. Have a nice day.

Okay, Cat... "increasing bust size" and "wet shirts"... ummmm... that's not going to lose anyone's attention. 'Specially not mine.
But as far as the rest is concerned, I'm feeling for you. Really. While I don't really pray, strength should be on the way...

I am going to guess they put you on new estrogen of some sort...
welcome to the world of big boobs, and weight gain...

Yep, big boobs seem great until you've got to lug 'em around for a few days. Invest in some of those spandex-y tanks from VS. Your shoulders will thank you.

So don't wear one and slap the dogshit out of anyone that stares at your magnificence.

Do You Know What It Feels Like...?
If you ever want to have an uncomfortable day, just repeat mine from yesterday ...
Get a couple hours of sleep
Don't forget the hangover
Take a really bad taxi ride with 4 co-workers
Thank the driver for making all of you carsick
Get to the airport really early
Have your mentor text message you the "we need to talk"
Sleep in a non-reclining airline seat
Head straight for the vagina whisperer's office
Get stuck in traffic while you REALLY have to pee
Have an invasive procedure at the vagina whisperer's office
Go shopping for nothing, just because you're there already
Make sure your anesthetic wears off while you're there
Get stuck in traffic again on the way to dinner
Showing up before the restaurant opens is a definite must
Discuss your new feminine needs with your dad while at the pharmacy
Have your mom question the Dr and harass you about it until 11:30p
I suppose the day could have been worse, I could have gotten bad news from the doc.
This new doc was such an improvement over my previous experience that I almost didn't mind I was in so much pain (don't kid yourself either - it ain't gone). Well, ok...I mind the pain but I still really liked his style. I learned that there is nothing harmful going on and, in theory, what we are trying out should be a relatively simple solution to my problems (if mom will stop worrying so damn much).
I guess pulling favors and flying all the way across the country to see a doctor might be worth all the drama after all.

"Have your mentor text message you the "we need to talk""
As I never had a mentor I can't say I've ever been in that position. *grin*
I'm glad you like your new doc - that always helps so much. Hope you're feeling better by now. Sounds like it was all more than a little much.

We All Want Something We Can't Have
I am off on travel for the week (late for the airport in fact)
I'll be in San Fran for most of the time - holy crap its been a long time since I've been there. From what I hear, it should be a good time (even if they are work people).
Then, due to my own issues with the vagina whisperers, I'm going to LA. This should be a trip through hell on so many fronts.
-One, a less than routine trip to the vagina whisperer that promises to be VERY painful (AWESOME!)
-Two, my mom is pissed off at me for pulling favors, bypassing the bitch of a whisperer here, and not being a more patient patient
-Three, I'll be staying at mom's house
-Four, I REALLY don't want to see my brother (or his handler), um at all ...
I swear I really am going to come back to regularly blogging one day. Maybe it will take having a lovely macbook to motivate me ...? Maybe it will just take having something other than drama to talk about ...

When things aren't going well it's hard hard hard to find something to blog about. I suggest you start reading headlines (especially Reuters) usually one can find the most amazingly stupid ones to blog about. *grin*
If you can get yourself blogging about some lighter stuff - you'll feel better anyhow. I hope the trip goes well!

I suggest a new pair of shoes to make the trip that much more enjoyable. *Smile*

I could buy you a beer and send it along to help with your trip.
And if that beer happens to arrive empty, I don't know anything about that.

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Ok, so answer me this ... how do you sleep at night when you know someone is taking active measures to kill themselves? Not the I'm gonna swallow this bottle of pills if you don't pay attention to me or I've got a razor kind of active measures, but the kind that slowly, but actively work to end your life in a purposeful fashion.
For example - elderly, depressed, and on a hunger strike. Today is day 11.
Literally no food. Just water and sugar free candy by the handfuls. Oh, and hourly diarrhea for good measure.
Somehow I want to respect a person's decision not to fight but I can't really accept that is what is going on here.
He's lost his wife and his asshole son is living with him now. Frankly, I could understand him wanting to die. But if you were in a reasonable state of mind and really wanted to die, why would you continue to take your medicines?
I can accept not sticking a bunch of tubes in him or landing him back in the hospital again but to not do anything? Family members in the house, day after day, saying there is nothing they can do. It just makes me sick inside. And of course, people are angry with me for wanting to help him. But what else is new?
In my world - this man is very depressed, living in the house where his wife died, not thinking clearly. That does not make standing by while he gives up something I can really accept.
How about you?

I think you've unwittingly found yourself in the role of caregiver to the world. It's a difficult situation because it seems like you're the only clearheaded person on the planet. I mean, what do you do? Force-feed him or drag him to a therapist? Call the Department of Aging? Come to think of it, the last one's not a bad idea. It's all such a cry for help, but if his grandest goal is to be with his wife again, even divine intervention isn't going to stop it. But how do you walk away from it when you feel like there's something left to be done?

I'm so sorry. It's difficult (really impossible) to figure out what to say without knowing the people involved personally. Then again this stuff was never my strong suit. *sigh*
In my experience - no one ever listens to me. Ever. I wish there was advice that I could give that would help. Maybe someone with greater success in dealing with people will have something for you. In the meantime {{{HUGS}}} it's very hard to watch as people do this to themselves.

As Teresa says, it's hard to know. But I perhaps you should look into the local Department of Aging (or whatever they call it where he lives). If he truly is not competent or in need of mental health care, then they will ensure he gets the help he needs.
*Hugs to you, my dear*

Dang....it's human nature to want to help someone in that state. I'd also want to ...but then family members only serve to make it much more difficult.
Sorry one has to go through this...

Prayer. Lots of prayer. It's the only thing you can do and it's the only thing that could help.

Last time I checked in I promised pics of the kids ... well no dice just yet - no one has sent me any and I didn't take any.
Why not? I have a really good excuse ...
A weekend's worth of non-alcoholic induced vomiting
(seriously, it was the most I think I have ever puked in my entire life ... ever)
So you're just screwed on that one ... until one of my cousins sends me some pics and I remember to share ... so basically you're just screwed on that one.
