Update for Everyone V: Born Under A Bad Sign

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I have it confirmed my book (first volume to be precise) is going to be published in two weeks, having been sent to formater. As I've probably mentioned before, it was originally set for July, but the publisher experienced some general delays.

Congrats! What's it about?

A novel and it's in English. Obviously a political-historical novel.

I'd rather not post details here, since it'd be against the ToS to advertise.

Well, now oficially announced for the end of next week.

I just met former Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth Sandlin!  I happen to be at my alma mater right now, where she is University President.

Now I got to sit with her church.

[Mr. Smith]

...I think I just Hillary'd my job interview.

Applied to work at my University's counterpart to where I have worked for years, but then, it was a group interview.

So many people who didn't have the same experience, but they all could sound so confident in what they said....

We're only expecting tropical storm force winds, so worst case scenario involves tornados. So, I just decided to get drunk; 5 shots of crown and 2 margaritas later, her I am! I hope everyone is safe and sound during this crazy storm.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Tropical Storm conditions in Tally. I'm expecting a Cat 1 hit at worst.

I hope you guys stayed safe! We saw wind gusts of 80-90mph around the Jacksonville area (recorded at Mayport and the Airport) with sustained of 60-70mph overnight. It was a decent storm, comparable to Matthew ('16) and Jeanne ('04) in this area. Our electricity went out for a little while, but it's back on now. The worst in my neighborhood seems to be some flooding, down tree branches, and a fallen tree in the road. It could've been much worse here, so I'm thankful. I just hope the folks in Southern and Western Florida faired alright.

The worst of the storm for us seems to have been the flooding and storm surge, which rushed into downtown Jacksonville overnight and prompted emergency warnings for residents in flood zones to flee and triggered rescue operations. According to the local news...

My dads boat was totally destroyed. So was the dock. Up here in Tally we've got no power but are otherwise unharmed.

[TheSaint250]

Very blessed to know that my area did not get hit as badly as  thought it would.  I hope every other Floridian made it out ok and that their property is also ok.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Powers on!

Massive damage here in Daytona. Got told by our power company to expect power being out until between September 27th and October 4th

I had a dream Mike Kelly (Pa-03) was retiring and I ran Kathy Dahlkemper's campaign. We won after a few recounts, but I don't know the rest of the 2018 results.

Tried stretching and almost fell in my chair.

1. Sudden burst of dysphoria
2. Start thinking "hey, maybe I should talk to my folks about transitioning again"
3. Realize the "talking to my folks" part
4. Chicken out like a little bitch
5. Back to step 1

Yeah, the folks can be really rough with their reactions, even when they're well-meaning and do love you. If I knew my mother's "I'm devastated" reaction after I told her I'm gay before the act, I'd probably chicken out too.
Did you ever tell/hint your parents anything about being trans?

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Did you ever tell/hint your parents anything about being trans?

Accidentally came out to my mom last November, officially came out to my folks in March, and I borderline flaunt it at this point. They apparently just want me to actually talk to them about things, which again, I chicken out of. I was supposed to see a shrink about the fact and other things, but evidently, that hasn't materialized into much. Maybe I should go to driver's ed and take matters into my own hands. I mean, I'm 16, so what do I have to lose?

driver's ed is a solution how?

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

driver's ed is a solution how?

Mode of transportation, I guess? I'm probably just too optimistic on the matter (somehow).
