In regards to the unpleasant surprise, get use to it girl, it's a brave new world you have stepped into. I get this all the time and have learned to deal with it be it not looking in their direction or if in conversation drop at hint that I have a significant other at home.

Dear Christie and Charli, Here are some resources that I recommend for free/inexpensive activities in NYC: http://www.nyc-arts.org http://www.events12.com/newyork/august/ http://www.timeout.com/newyork/events-calendar http://www.nycinsiderguide.com http://www.nycgo.com/free http://www.newyork.com/articles/attractions/free-things-to-do-in-nyc-in-summer-2015-65512/ http://www.clubfreetime.com/new-york-city-nyc/free-events-things-to-do/today/activities http://www.timessquarenyc.org/events/index.aspx#.VcpeRvlViko http://www.newyorkpass.com/For-Free http://www.nyc-arts.org/collections/35/free-museum-days-or-pay-what-you-wish Highly recommend the US $80.00 pass, as it will allow you to get past lines. In NYC, because of the crowds, your TIME IS MONEY, so don't think waiting in long lines for a "free" event will save you money . . . because some "free" events are on your NYC pass, but the advantage will be that you will go to the head of the line. Will get you the website for Air bnb, because the hotels in NYC are PROHIBITIVE! The owners of Air bnb are very knowledgeable about the city, and they will help you plan your days to make the most of them. Will write again soon with information about air bnb. Yours truly, Monica

Oh wow, that's some really cool information and very much appreciated. I'm a consumate planner so that gives me plenty of things to try and squeeze in. Will keep you posted on how things progress take care xoxo

Charli, Hiya Love. Your Photography, Sweetheart, is Outstanding. Your Eye For Interesting Architecture and Building's, is second to none ! You Are A Lovely Person Charli, and I look forward to seeing More of Your Wonderful Photography, Very Soon. Charli, Take Care, And Best Wishes To You Too ! Regards, Stephanie. xoxo

Monica I get all the support from friends. But ask some of them, they'll say we family. CIS African males, none the less. I'm just the quirky sister with a lighter skin. I've got a limited amount of TLGB family AMD the support is overwhelming at times, but we manage to survive. I've got a friend that wants to marry me off to her brother. You'll enjoy the next entry I'm going to post now, Massage gone flustered

Dear Christi and Charli, As promised, the website for Air bnb is: https://www.airbnb.com/s/New-York--NY The website looked really good, worth checking out! Yours truly, Monica

Dear Charli, Also am fascinated by lighting. Loved visiting lighting stores in Brooklyn and Manhattan. The autistic man I cared for was also into lighting, so he gave me a great excuse to visit all kinds of lighting stores, when he got away from me and I had to go looking for him. The managers of lighting stores were ALWAYS very kind in helping me find him, and I gave them my name, phone and address to all of them, because I did not want them to call the police to find his family (me). Thanks to him, I got to know many lighting stores in Manhattan and Brooklyn! By the way, the police in both Florida and NYC were very good about helping me find him, although I was lucky enough to beat them to it almost every time! LOL! Yours truly, Monica

Charli, I love the photograph of the "I Heart NYC" T-Shirts. Only in NYC have I seen the RESIDENTS wear such shirts and accessories, where in OTHER cities, only TOURISTS wear such items! LOL!!

Monica, Thanks for that info - though since I live here I probably won't have need for AirBNB xoxo Christie

Charli, Hiya Love. It Looks Like You Are Falling For New York, In A Big Way ! L.O.L. When are You Visiting N.Y., then Charli ? I Am in the UK, and I have never been to the U.S.A. You Never Know. One Day Maybe ! I Am sure You will enjoy "The Big Apple", when You get there ! There Will Be Lots That You will be Able to Photograph, Charli Love. Speak Soon, Take Care, Best Wishes, Steph. xoxo

Dear Samantha, Don't know if you have brothers and sisters, but it sounds like that you have become the daughter that your mother never had. Am sorry about the loss of your wife, but you will find friends here and in your face to face life. There ARE open minded women, both in and out of the TLGB community. On our home page, when you click on "resources," on the top tool bar, a drop down will show you where to click to find transgender support groups near where you live, many no more than a couple of hours drive away. As for your kids, if you have been a good father, chances are you will be a good mother! Yours truly, Monica

Hiya Christie Love. I Love Your Expression -,"Tranniversary"! That is a Lovely Description Darling. The idea of Joining A Self-Defence Class, I would say is Very Sensible. One thing I was going to ask You Darling, is, Do You carry A Rape/Personal Attack Alarm ?,If You Don't, I suggest it might be an idea ! I actually have 3, the first of which, was supplied by Our local Police Station, and the other two, were bought from a local pound store. You are Very Positive Christie Darling, in Your Femininity, and That is Brilliant Honey ! I Personally Love Being Feminine. I feel more Feminine Every single day, Now. I Love wearing Skirt's Darling. I Am Not phased at all, going out in Public, Properly-Dressed ! One Transsexual Friend of Mine, Teasing Me, asked Me the Other Day, (Face-To-Face), if I Cross-Dress ? My Answer to Her, Was :,"No, I Don't Wear Male Clothes" ! We were Both I'm fits of Laughter. She, and Her Girlfriend (G.G.), are Both, so Very Pretty ! With reference to the Guy at the Garage, Do speak with His Boss, if No joy, then consider contacting the Local Police. Christie Darling, Speak Soon Babe. Please Take Care of Yourself. Best Wishes, Regards, Stephanie. xoxo

If you're interested in a trans meet-up, there's one that meets at the Stonewall every Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. (then moves across the street to the Monster at around 8:30). We play pool, chat, etc. And if you're here on August 25 you could come see me do drag :-)
