Roll Call!!!

[prince....ss?]

Gee this place feels empty. No new posts of any kind and spammers making their way in and the posts weren’t even deleted.

So check in and let us know you’r still alive perhaps what you have been up to.

My news is that the surgeon that did my surgery 44 years ago sent me pictures before, during and after my surgery.

I also saw my Endo doc today and I will be starting the HRT again.

I hope everyone is well!!!

Hi Prince....ss?!!

Yes, I am still here and quietly lurking in the shadows!! (Or, lying in wait underneath a nice warm rock for some hapless prey to come along!)

All the Best!

Hey,
it's good to see that you're both still here, and that you're finally getting some satisfaction, princess. Hopefully the hrt will be mellower for you this time. I sent a pm to Betsy and Peter about the spammer, no response though. I hope they're both ok.

My status is predictable from my last report. No need to bore everyone with it again.

There's us, and Canice and someone new named Andre. So at least there's 5 remaining members this christmas. And Wyn and Kate Pixiecat log in sometimes, so 7. 7 members. Picture "the Count" from Sesame St saying that (ha ha ha)

Hmmmm . . .

I guess I have an over active imagination, but I'm hearing the creaky old shutter making a rhythmic slapping sound from the breeze coming in from the desert . . . the sound of the occasional crow . . . the squeek of the old rusty windmill that used to run fresh water from the well . . . back in a time when there was life in this town.

Gee, I sure would like to see some folks around . . . even if they are fighting and bickering. That would be a lot better than the eerie quiet . . .

Well, I'm still around, but only drop in occasionally. The emphasis here is more medical than lifestyle/relationship oriented, so I have little to offer. (Little med help is needed, either. I think AIS has less to deal with in that regard than some other "combinations.") And what physical problems I have are of the consequences variety, meaning mostly emotional.

I guess whatever is on your plate seems like the biggest problem in the world, though, doesn't it? Hell I can't even FIND similiar cases to my "performance" one, where ejaculation literally coincides with arousal, it's so premature, but there are many who would trade with me in a second, I'm sure. (Not here, necessarily, I mean from just reading the world news, I'd guess that.)

Anyway, that's it. Sorry things have slowed down so much, but the heyday was apparently before my time, so wouldn't know.

Be well, all.

Hi Meadow,
As long as there aren't any Graboids (movie ref, "Tremors")
I'd run them spammer varmints out of town myself, if I was able. But if we can each post something every day, that should keep the forums alive. Even if it does sound a little like bickering. At least bickering is a sign of life.

Hello spysweeper,
I don't think the forums were intended to be completely about medical discussion, though that has gotten a lot of talk. I'm sorry that not enough people responded to you. Talking about the emotional side of our problems has been allowed, maybe it would give a little more heart to the topics. It's just that your search for suitable lovers is a specialized subject, and one that some of the people might not have been too comfortable discussing on an open forum. Are the AIS sites/forums any more helpful for your needs?

Priestess,

Just to be clear (writing can be so ambiguous), I wasn't complaining, simply commenting. In fact, I've received a rather strong emotional boost from BOL simply from realizing how lucky I am to have been spared the medical problems that (apparently) often accompany sexual ambiguity.

I like your term "suitable lover." That's really all it is, isn't it? No different than anyone else on the planet wants and needs, I just happen to have a smaller group of candidates than most.

Regarding other AIS and related forums, I suck at searching for anything remotely sexual. It's such a commercial/porno driven area that all I get is buried under a bunch of crap. If you have any suggestions (or a link list?), by all means post 'em! Thanks.

Oh, I didn't think you were complaining.
There's supposed to be an organization called the "AISSG", for ais'ers. A quick web search turned up like almost 2800 hits. I tried contacting them once, to ask about some of the info they had on their site about other related conditions. Except they didn't want to talk to me, because I'm not insensitive. But they'd probably let you join, cause you've got the diagnosis and everything.
I'm not sure which is worse, medical problems or growing up being treated like an it. Surely social/romantic problems can make any life seem worse, so I guess emotions shouldn't be underestimated.
