 Roundup of Shorts VII

August 31st, 2009 No comments

Sorry about the political tone of my last post, I promise that I’ll try not to do that too often. This is not a political blog, it’s a TS blog and information of interest to the TS community. Mostly MtF but I’ll try to have stuff for FtM too.

With that in mind, here’s the next set of links I found while surfing the Net.

 Roundup of Shorts VIII

September 1st, 2009 No comments

Today’s theme seems to be “Weird Stuff”. I’ve got two humor articles, a thing on makeup and how to do foundation, and a magic trick.

I can hear the firetrucks outside now. Why? Because I live near a firehouse. They get called, we hear them. Really nice of them for when we are asleep at 3 AM and they are honking their horns.

Wish I could get some decent glasses frames to let me see clearly. Have prescriptions, old frames to wear, but nothing recent.

 Roundup of Shorts IX

September 4th, 2009 No comments

I know that it irritates that I use Roman Numerals in these posts. You know what? Go refresh your memory about what they mean. Not saying it to be mean or anything, but knowledge that you have that you never use is knowledge that is useless, by definition.

I like how the Roman Numeral system is laid out. True when you get into the 50′s and higher, it gets harder, but it does work.

 Roundup of Shorts X

Well, I have a pierced nostril now. It hurt like hell do do it, but it’s done.

How did I do this? Well, I have two pierced nipples and two sets of body jewelry for them. Plus I have a lot of starter earrings, you know the kind they pierce your lobes with? Well, I have been talking for a while about doing my nose, and I finally stopped procrastinating and just did it.

Took a needle from a hypodermic needle that I had (a friend works in cardiology and grabbed one). It was 22 guage, and my rings were 18. I figured that it could stretch when I got the jewelry in. So I shoved the needle through and into a cork in my nostril. Then I pulled it out and put in one of the piercing studs. Got it in and the back on. Except today I saw that it was digging into my flesh and making permanent bumps around the piercing site. So I pulled it out and put in one of the nipple rings.

That act was PAINFUL. The wound had stopped bleeding, but it was still leaking the clear ichor that coats and seals a wound like this. I had that stuff all over. I finally got the ring in, but I was shaking from shock that I had trouble putting the captured bead in. BUt I finally did it. Now to leave it alone.

 Roundup of Shorts XI

September 10th, 2009 No comments

“It” is going around here in Nashville. Both my wife and my daughter have “it”. Everyone is getting “it” and going to the doctor to get rid of “it”.

What is “it” you might ask? I have no clue. But the doctors tell us that we have “it” and I’m desperately trying not to get “it”. I think “it” is some sort of illness that exists among families. Everyone has “it” at the same time.

I think I’m coming down with “it” despite my best attempts to stay healthy. Gods help me….

It’s been more than a few days, and a lot has happened. But I blame my sickness for not leaving me much energy to do much of anything other than laying around feeling bad.

But, now I share this with all you. I promise more to come.
