The green and the blue paints remind me of doodles I do of a body not mine I very much identify witha kind of human hanging punching bag. In nineteeneighties toys terms a mash up of the visible man(anatomical) with stretcho the rubber doll. Someho it is important children not see us as frailc therefore the smiling frendly stretcho. Not to add burden to weirdness but we end up as artists inevitably in cheap apartments and who else is nearby without an education? Answr Kids are. Imagine this as a corridor, or an entire direction on the compass, but basically english pretence to self mastery is like the doors around my house. Too bad, because i wanted to be miceelf!
I'm now imagining a Jurassic Park full of Georgina clones and with pet stegasauruses. It's a soothing image, with lots of grazing and all the time in the world for gentle weeping, a life that doesn't require money. Hope the patches kick in soon though, in the right way, with no weeping. They did wonders for me whereas the pump did naff all.
I have never done my DNA or genealogy. I'm supposed to have some native American in there somewhere, but I'm not going to spit in a tube to confirm it and then show up on the tribal doorstep after a couple of hundred years expecting to be welcomed with open arms. An observation. Have you noticed that people who trace their family tree back are always descended from royalty or famous people? I have yet to meet someone who proudly proclaims that their 6th great grandfather was a horse thief who escaped from custody days before he was scheduled to be hanged and jumped on a ship with the authorities in hot pursuit after impregnating the mayor's daughter.
Very funny. And why DON’T we have t-rex / middle aged woman versions of Cagney & Lacey? (But on a side note, I think you need a different GP if his attitude is making you feel unsure about going back to ask for an update to your prescription.)
Thanks Clare! Yeah I literally had to argue with him to get the prescription in the first place so I think if I say there's any issue, he'll just take it off me altogether! I will figure it out. Dinosaur Cagney and Lacey sounds like exactly what the world needs right now 🤣
Definitely ask to see a different GP, or educate the current one. It can take a lot of tweaking to get the dose right, and the method of delivery that works for you may not work for someone else. Many GPs don't even know they can and should prescribe testosterone to some patients. Women need 10% of what men do, but we still need it for vital biological processes.
According to my dad's family lore, my great-grandma "had a lot of Indian blood, she was more'n half Cherokee." Nope...she was of mostly of English and Irish descent, with a bit of French and German, and a small amount of West African. I think the "Cherokee blood" was how my ancestors explained why some of them had rather dark complexions; it was no doubt safer to be "Cherokee" than part African-American in 19th century Kentucky.
We do have one documented Cherokee ancestor, but she lived in the 1700s and approximately 0.01% of her DNA seems to have made its way down to me, according to 23andme.
The biggest chunk of my DNA is "Bulgarian/Moldovan/Romanian," but when I look in the mirror it is obvious that the Irish DNA completely overpowered it, presumably in a bar fight.
I signed up for the "Premium" version of 23andme because they were running a promotion; if you do that it gives you some fun "Historical Matches." One of mine was "Megalithic Elite from Carrowkeel", circa 2800 BCE; and another one was "Low Status Golden Horde Individual," circa 1200 A.D., which seemed a tad insulting.
I would guess that as very British person, you no doubt have lots of interesting megalithic ancestors. But, I would never pay full price for the Premium version as the rest of it just tells you stuff you already know, like "You are likely to sunburn easily," and "You have a typical likelihood of developing Type II diabetes." Well, duh.
I am also 100% scottish, norweigan, germanic, northern england... just a big northerner. it's no wonder we can't tolerate the heat...
Big Northerner, yeah! 🤣 It does explain a few things, I guess!

I also do a lot of big hands drawings. Just doodling.

Thanks, Lisa! I guess we'll see! It does sound really nice when you put it like that 🦖🦕

Haha I bet my ancestors were all ne'er do wells!
