I will be a great mother for your kids.

[Empress Lainie]

I wasted yesterday, shall I waste today also. Want to go see Star Trek. My SO went to bed when I got up and will not be up until late today.

Just noticed Bug has 2 4yr olds he says, and he also says he is a virgin!

Was this immaculate conception, are his kid the 2nd coming of Jesus and Mohammed?

[Empress Lainie]

Had a nice afternoon at the movie, saw Star Trek. Loved Leonard Nimoy.
Ate too much popcorn but it was free.

[Empress Lainie]

Nice birthday party for Bug and he didn't show

[Empress Lainie]

Ellen Muth is my new movie idol

[Empress Lainie]

Cant decide what I want to do tonight. Hate to spend another 30 going out.
specially when there really is stuff to eat here.

Got my insulin today at Walmart & drove Frodo at 6:00 was comfortable even with no a/c & temp 90F. As I was walking in there was a guy and his wife sitting on a bench by the door and he waved at me , so then his wife smiles at me. Nice to be noticed like that.

[Empress Lainie]

This was a duplicate post, which isn't supposed to happen but it did.

[Empress Lainie]

The EEOC called me back today in response to my call 2 days ago. The news is not good. For my discrimination suit, it looks like a minimum of 6 years before trial.
If I'm still around on this planet I will be 80. Everything is going to hell. The district told my sister that they are only going to give her 3 hours a day work in September, after she has taught for them since 1965 in adult education.

She is credentialed in all subjects except health and science. They told her that the regular teachers needed more hours. What utter BS. The regular teachers get paid for 8 hours every day.
The adult ed teachers are not allowed to work enough hours to qualify as employees except as temporary and get no benefits or unemployment. It is basically a slavery system.

[Empress Lainie]

Went to Arizona Charlie's west and met my friend L there. We both had something to eat, and a lady sitting across the aisle from us turned and said to me, "I would like to buy your lunch for you ladies, I have a $35.00 comp and am alone since my husband died recently."

She did and I talked with her a little. We both gave her our cards.

Going to meet L for dessert or snack at 6:30 at Marie Callender's today.

Still need to get out and reset that carb.

[Empress Lainie]

So I really liked the pot roast at Marie Callender's. Then came home and watched another movie with Cynthia.

This morning missed the cool time and still need to go reset that carburetor.

[Empress Lainie]

Not good, think it will require advancing the distributor which is not easy on that model. May just get rid of it by donation anyway.

[Empress Lainie]

All day marathon Land of the Lost, first time I have seen it anyway.

[Empress Lainie]

I give up on life. I need some income. Nothing in the last year has worked for me.

[Empress Lainie]

Nophest closed the Newbies Post Your 10 Posts Here thread because he said it was confusing.

We had over 5600 posts on it that would have been cluttering up somebody's thread or else flooded the forums with newbie count threads. But its his call, that means we had over 500 new members in the time it was up. I was really surprised that the post count on it went up so fast.

I don't recall Nophest EVER closing a thread before.

[Empress Lainie]

Slept to 1pm. went to Arizona Charlies with my friend L. Carol didn't show up to treat us today. She seems like a very sweet lady.

Then went with Kathy to see Terminator Salvation with a cameo appearance of The Arnold Governator. Full of blasting loud action and explosions and fights and so unbelievable that mere humans can stand being thrown 50 feet into a brick or concrete wall, not once but many times and have no injuries. The machine men were really awesome, 50 ft high in one instance.

If you like action and the previous ones I give it 5 starts. If you don't like bang bang stuff don't go.

Before we left, she was at a nice little family owned restaurant Angelina's.
Two young men were playing the guitar. I went over to them and asked them if they knew Guantanamera. They never heard of it. I told them it only had three chords, F, Bb, and C7 repeated in sequence through the whole piece. They asked me if I wanted to sing and handed me a microphone. So I sang Guantanamera while they played. Got nice applause, and of course loved it. Kathy said I sounded good but I was fearful I sounded bad.

After the movie we went to the coffee shop and had their breakfast specials and people watched, while the people watched us, at least 3 guys one of whom was with his wife and her mother, and he seemed to think we were eye candy.

So that did make me feel much better and forgetting about the troubles at least for a while.

[Empress Lainie]

Checked out new 4 and 8 port routers. Radio Shack has the most available and cheapest for a router brand and model I had once before it worked well and lasted 6 years. Linksys BEFR41 $39.00. The one that died that was its replacement never worked right, I had one way connections to different computers and never could fix it.

[Empress Lainie]

The new router works perfectly even though when setting up the router it would not go beyond the message: Unable to configure the router. So I hooked everything up and it all worked.

Las Vegas to Anaheim about 5.75 hours, Wed: Disneyland Thurs; Fri. California park, not much there but a cute 3D Muppets movie, also a great water ride on a raft that like the other rides I can't do because of motion sickness and my pacemaker. I am afraid to let it get banged around with sudden motion. They also had some amusement rides like ferris wheels, and rotation rides and a roller coaster. Then back to Disneyland about noon for the rest of the day and left at 9:30pm after the fireworks show.

Had dinner for two at Blue Bayou, $68.00. Excellent service, dark bayou atmosphere, good food.

Sat. back to Las Vegas left 9am got home at 4:45, but stopped 2 hours, to eat.

Then had to spend 4 hours doing my unemployment paper work and mailing it at the post office. Filed l job mon and 3 tonight.

[Empress Lainie]

slept late just lazy and watch movies

[Empress Lainie]

10am teleconference re jobs from a friend.
deliver two applications to credit unions for jobs one applied online that I REALLY like.

Fat chance I will get any of them, but a school I didn't teach at before now has people I know running it, and they are going to ask Wed to be able to hire another person (me) but it is far from enough since it depends on howmany students they get, and if any of the parents are tranny haters.(LDS Church/cult members!)

I spent 45 minutes talking to a woman and her boyfriend today and they kept telling me what a beautiful and sexy woman I was. I finally said my last wife and I separated and note I said WIFE. I was born male, her response was: "So What!" I think she was trying to get me into a 3some with her boyfriend, our conversation continued for another 25 minutes before they had to leave.

[Empress Lainie]

The call didn't come, and I called back twice.
Delivered two applications to a credit union that is hiring.
picked up an app for another school I used to teach at.
browsed the women's clothes at Kmart would like to work in that dept.
went to trader joe's and got some bananas and strawberries with my change.

[Empress Lainie]

Took a few minutes before getting in bed to post some pics from Disneyland.

[Empress Lainie]

Found more good job resume posting sites, not that it does me any good since everyone hiring thinks I am too old.

[Empress Lainie]

Ah well, dropped off another app at a school I used to teach for.

Saw UP the movie today and loved it, much much better than I thought it would be,and we went to the 3D version, very cool!

[Empress Lainie]

More online apps. conference and interview in am. all for naught I'm sure.

[Empress Lainie]

Seeing the JD thread, I realize I have had an unopened bottle of JD for 2 months now.
I am just a FAILED alcoholic,the black sheep of the Irish family, the rest are all drunks except one other.

Sold one of my cordobas today to a cordoba racer for parts. Lost around $2000 on it. Had a new tranny 800 miles ago, in 2006.

People looking at the 77 one tomorrow, it has new tires. $400.

[Empress Lainie]

Needed to sleep from 3am to 6:30pm Sunday. Guess its Monday now. Have lots I need to do hope I can do it.

[Empress Lainie]

Got up at 2. went to eat afer meeting, Did nothing all day. Was called beautiful by
the girl bartender and a waitress

Posted pics on EMPRESS LAINIE thread. Did my nails yesterday.

[Empress Lainie]

Nice dinner at Kathy's on Thursday. It was for Andreamedis's birthday June 18.

She made a great cherry cake.

[Empress Lainie]

Coffee with Loraine 7 to 9pm last night. Got RX's and some supplements.
Should do things but don't feel like it or care.

[Empress Lainie]

Happy Birthday again Lady Fox.

Had the sleep cycle syndrome again and slept 2:30am to 4:30am then from 10am to 9pm.

So since my SO went to sleep before I got up as seems to be the case lately, I decided to go dancing at the Gold Coast. The band Chaze was there and I danced from 12pm to 2am, and had a good time.

I also "just met a girl named Maria" who danced with me for a while and said she would be there next Sunday too. And there was a spectacular male dancer all night too. He came over and danced with me for a while too.

Then I went to eat at Arizona Charlies Decatur and got compliments from the cashier on my butterfly bracelet and amethyst ring I faceted myself. She also liked my emerald. Another lady complimented me on my looks when we were talking at the cashiers.

Then I came home and applied for 2 jobs I won't get. After that I just played on the computer on the forums. Hope to stay awake until 11 tonight. Have a meeting from 6:30 to 8:00 and then we will go eat out.

Have had some diabetic neuropathy in my left leg ankle and foot, so I started my medicine that induces suicide again. It cleared it up in 3 days last time. But in two weeks I had every single side effect listed

If anyone reading this (if anyone does) that knows anything about a 1977 Chrysler Cordoba steering gear configuration, like if it has a drain plug, please PM me..

I always read these, Lainie, but I don't know a thing about your car!!! Sorry!!!

[Empress Lainie]

Thank you Celestial Princess, maybe someone will, it is leaking ps fluid as fast as I put it in and has to be either a loose drain plug if there is one or a crack in the casting, I have no clearance to get my fingers under it to feel for it.

Perhaps you can find a tech drawing/schematic online somewhere?

[Empress Lainie]

tried the internet no luck, I also just thought it could be a loose mounting bolt that goes through the casting into the reservoir inside but not ready in this heat to go jack it up and crawl under on plastic sheets on top of the leaked oil, I may be able to see what is going on if there isnt a structural member also in the way.

Both car repair manuals I have don't show anything at all about the configuration.

[Empress Lainie]

Had fun wearing my new skirts and dress to go out to dinner in the last few days. My purple long sleeve shirt and new purple skirt nearly match my new fingernail polish. Got lots of compliments on the nail color.
Stayed up 26 hours Sun-Mon and slept 17 hrs on Tues-Wed.
Just don't feel like doing anything but keep up with the job applications so I can get my unemployment. Only one more week after this one.
I get acceptance of my applications and nothing else. Gets discouraging.

I need to clean house, mop the floors, and some other stuff, but keep putting it off.

My girlfriend of 18 yrs or so had her knee operated onTues and is back home now but still in lots of pain. Later they will have to do her other knee.

The hit and run driver that hit her has been proven to be a nurse at the hospital where she was, so she had them have only males in the operating room and attending her as she feared this person would harm her in the hospital.

The cops having the license plate and vehicle identified still have not filed charges and seem to be in sympathy for the driver incredible as it seems. Maybe one of them is screwing her.

[Empress Lainie]

Just got back from buffet at Santa Fe not too far from here. I couldn't eat very much before I was full. Guess since I have cut way down on eating my stomach must have shrunk some.

Going to watch Hoodwink movie and then may go dancing tonight..

[Empress Lainie]

Sam's Town Buffet sitting next to an open window to Mystic Park and watching the water and fake animal show at 2PM.

Then wandered into the gift shop and right by the door was a dress to die for in pink. I absolutely had to have it, so I bought it.

Now to watch Chicken Run dvd. and maybe find another job to apply for.

[Empress Lainie]

We went to Sam's Town in Las Vegas for lunch at their buffet which opens with open windows onto their Mystic Park where they have water and fake animal shows (bear, coyote, birds). We got a table right next to the open window. (It is air conditioned and covered above the 5th story with a glass canopy.)

The cashier remembered us from the last time we were there in April, I think. That in itself was a pleasant surprise. She thought we were from out of town and asked how long we were staying this time. I told her we were local and I lived in Summerlin. She said that's pretty far away. I told her we get over to this part of town every Friday and sometimes like to eat here.

Had a nice lunch and restrained myself from eating too much, very hard to do with so much great food around.

Then we went to the gift shop adjacent to the park. As I walked into the door, I saw the most gorgeous pink dress to die for and I just had to have it. Price was good too, $23.99.

So I checked the sizes and found an XL which usually fits me.

After looking at bracelets and necklaces I went over to the counter and a pretty asian lady was there who waited on me.
She asked if it was for me and I said yes I love it. She said it really is pretty. She also said my orange dress was cute too in our continued conversation which lasted 20 minutes.

As we talked and I mentioned my finances that I was going to be broke and had just as well buy what I wanted first, since I would have to quit paying my credit cards, it got around to that I had been out of work for two years. So we talked about what I did, which was teaching kids 5 and up instrumental music for 20 years. After she asked why I wasn't working there anymore I told her I was fired because I am transexual and two new parents who didn't know me didn't like it and filed a complaint and a tranny hater at City Hall had me fired.

She said: "I WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN IF YOU HADN'T TOLD ME!"

So then we talked about transpeople for a few minutes and I told her I try to educate people if the subject comes up or I see someone talking about my SO who does not pass very well.

I also told her I had worked for the census bureau for 2 months as female and she asked how long I had lived female. I told her it was two years now and it was like getting out of prison. I could never go back for even a day.

Then she asked about how you change your name and get female ID. So I told her about that and that I was very lucky to get the F on my DMV license. She knew they wouldn't do it now and asked about what happens when it is renewed.

I told her that in Colorado if you live as female you get the F on your license and if they took mine away I would leave the state.

All in all it was a very pleasant conversation to me especially the part where she said she would never have known I was trans. I also noticed in speaking that at times her voice was actually lower than mine in pitch.

Later after I put the dress on, I felt it was a little snugger than I like but it was livable, and WHOOPEEE! it comes to about 4 inches above my knees. I have been wanting a shorter dress since most of mine are either about 4 inches below my knees or longer.

I called the gift shop and talked to the manager and asked if I could exchange it for a larger size and she said as long as I had my receipt, so I asked her to see if they had a 2X. I didn't know then that sizes go XL, 1X, 2X, but my girlfriend told me that when I was talking to her at 2am. The manager went to check and came back and said they did not have a 2X. So I thanked her and said I guess I could wear it anyway, it was just a little tighter than I prefer.

Now I will call back tomorrow and see if they do have a 1X.

I wore it without my breast forms or bra, and haven't tried it yet with them, I think it may be too tight to work that way. Those are my natural boobs in the pic posted in Empress Lainie,but the elastic flattens them somewhat. So I hope they have a 1X in stock.

What I was wearing is attached and even though I really love this orange dress, it isn't as flattering around my middle as skirts and tops are. Before I told her I was trans, I told the girl it made me look like I am 3 months pregnant, and that is when she said it was cute.

[Empress Lainie]

Funny thing I put it on again yesterday and it fit perfectly. They didn't have the larger size anyway.
Had a nice buffet champagne brunch at the Santa Fe yesterday.

[Empress Lainie]

Did it again. Went to Walgreen's before breakfast and saw they had gotten in a whole slew of dresses and skirts and tops from India. Beautiful stuff.

So I got a blue skirt and a brown one that had one row of elephants on it amid the other banded patterns in brown and beige.

Gee I would have loved to have abut 4 or 5 more too. Price was right, 9.99 each.

[Empress Lainie]

Well have been enjoying wearing and posting pics of my new clothes I splurged on.

Tonight went to Arizona Charlies Decatur for dinner about 11:00PM and since its Saturday a band was in the lounge. So I danced a little while and was pleasantly surprised at applause I got as I left the dance floor to leave.

This labor day bank holiday may cause a problem in a payment date that falls on Monday for a bank payment, since I can't do it Sunday either.

[Empress Lainie]

Third day in a row to bed in the morning 10 to noon, then wake around 6 to 10 pm. I hate this. I went to Walgreens and found all the sleep pills OTC were all antihistamine, diphenhydride hydrochloride. They are either 25 or 50 mg, and the prices for the identical contents range from $2.00 to $12.00 for the same number of pills. What suckers people are for brand names.

If you buy them for sleep aids they cost more than for allergies. RIGHT I did NOT buy any, I have plenty at home.

Two months now and the Dr and Medicare are still screwing me over on
getting test strips for my diabetes testing. Dr says he sent it twice, Medicare says they didn't get it. The object is a required form filed with them every year saying how often daily I am required to test. Like I was going to be cured of db and not need them anymore? The most stupid requirement I have ever seen. So I either don't test, or pay an exhorbitant price for them OTC unless this is resolved. Where is my gun, I forgot where I hid it. I am so tired of dealing with this stupid shit.

[Empress Lainie]

Oh Lovely a holiday, for which I slept from noon to 10pm. At least the night is cooler than the day.

[Empress Lainie]

So when you think things couldn't get any worse:
My explorer has a slight radiator leak in the side of the radiator, but very slow seepage.
My neon Check Engine light has been intermittently on and off, due to the crankshaft position sensor.
My Cordoba is leaking power steering fluid at an alarming rate from the bottom of the steering gear at the output shaft seal.

My credit is now very low, and will get worse if I am not employed. I have no extra money to fix any of them except credit. Without transportation it is very hard to work or look for work in this city.

I may be able to fix the first two with available credit before I default.

[Empress Lainie]

Go to work for the Census Sept 21.
Interview Tues for night job with ETT, minicasinos in grocery stores.
New doctor appt tomorrow.

Found a mechanic that lives here that used to have 5 shops around town that will do the radiator for $60.and the Neon for $30.

[Empress Lainie]

The ETT interview was simply do you want the job. Went to work Fri for orientation, Sat Sun 8 hrs training, Mon Tues my own store to run.

Census starts mon-fri 8 to 10.

Leaves a six hour and two hour break for sleep etc.

Radiator done, sensor done tomorrow and hood support struts also tomorrow.

Talked to a lady with just discovered cancer at 69 and medicare said they wont pay for her treatment.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED THAT IF YOU ARE OVER 70 YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET ANY SURGICAL CARE. YOU PAY FOR THIS, ITS FRAUD TO NOT GIVE IT TO YOU. THEY EVEN GAVE HER A DOCUMENT THAT SAID IT WAS NOT COST EFFECTIVE TO TREAT HER. SHE IS GOING TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION, BUT IN THE CASE OF THE AREA 51 WORKERS WHO GOT CANCER AND AN AWARD OF 10MILLION, THE COURT HAS DECIDED TO HOLD UP THE PAYMENTS UNTIL THEY ARE ALL DEAD. WAKE UP PEOPLE THIS IS GOVERNMENT POLICY FIRST ;NOTED IN THE AARP JOURNAL A FEW MONTHS AGO.

NOT THAT ALL OF THE SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES WHO HAVE FEDERAL FREE HEALTH CARE ARE NOT DENIED ANYTHING LIKE SEN. EDWARD KENNEDY.

[Empress Lainie]

Thanks for the pic AZ. Like the job, can be quite boring, but fixed that with my CD's and dancing on my shift, or reading, too.

Census seems to have very little work and a friend told me that their money had been taken away for something else called ACORN.

Went clothes shopping for more work clothes and also got a lovely red outfit pics in my Empress Lainie thread. Also my working outfits.

[Empress Lainie]

It is now Thursday, my Tuesday!
Census closing out work today.
Read 300 pages on my shift last night and listened to my favorite CD's.
