I still have a lot of flexibility. Waistline is 24-1/2 inches, not much different than when I was twenty pounds lighter.
So yes, I still feel young for my age. |

There are counterfeit olive oils out there but I got it from Stew Leonards, an upscale grocery store for CT/NY. Their house brands are pretty good. A bottle lasts a long time so it makes sense to use it for eve... |

A lot of transgenders are in the middle of transition from one gender to another with the assist of hormones.
Everything is all messed up!
Much lower expectations regarding social norms makes it easier to them to socialize among themselves. |

I was the club representative for the Student Activities Council.
It disbursed a lot of money among the recognized student clubs as well as the band.
It was very useful to see how it functioned. |

| Stores often cater to certain sizes. It is a lot easier to find women's clothes in smaller sizes and harder to find them in larger sizes. If your feet are small it can be a lot easier to find women's size 7 instead of men's size 5, which are often exactly the same size. Payless was a store that used... |

| Are insurance companies willing to pay for a diagnosis. Back when I joined this forum a formal diagnosis would have cost $1500, not covered by insurance. That is now $2149 factoring inflation.

Presto 05470 Stainless Steel Electric Deep Fryer, Silver
A little 1 liter deep fryer is perfect for cooking a single serving for one.
I also deep fry single servings of bread dough.
Much more practical to deep fry bread dough than to heat a big oven to make a loaf of bread. |
