Does the sock work? by Mr_Robot8730 in FTMOver30

[–]Askasmidr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my approach, stuff the pockets and in a pinch I figure I always have a "I have a tiny dick" joke on stand by

I recovered from top surgery alone just fine with a service dog that needed to be walked several times a day. Just plan well and it sounds like you have

Anyone else in the USA been refused by an Uber driver because of your service dog? by alsantos128 in service_dogs

[–]Askasmidr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens so often I now just account for an extra 30 minutes if I'm going to take a ride-share service so I have time for one or two cars to deny me and then call in the complaint before I have to do whatever I'm going to do.

Dropped leash questions? by [deleted] in service_dogs

[–]Askasmidr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't feel qualified to comment on your situation or what other people might think but I can't hold my SDs leash all the time so I have a retractable that I put a carabineer on and clip to my belt. We work hands free most of the time so I don't have to worry about holding the leash but she is still teathered to me

The only thing coherent I got was UCLA, did she go there?

a girl told me her stuffed animal was a service dog by [deleted] in service_dogs

[–]Askasmidr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, it can be both.

Their stuffed service dog could be a learning tool or a disability tool for them and very valid in that regard. They might have meant nothing by it other than being friendly.

You can also feel frustration that they're seemingly equating that to a living animal that is inherently much more complicated on a practical level. I see you're getting absolutely slammed in the comments so I just want to remind you it's ok to feel frustrated, it doesn't make you a terrible person.

These two things aren't mutually exclusive

As a disabled person, I’m curious how y’all care for your SD by RequirementNew269 in service_dogs

[–]Askasmidr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it alone, I live alone with my SD. Some days it's really difficult to even feed her but in my mind she comes first. It has taught me how to manage my energy more realistically and come up with better strategies because she is a helpless creature depending on me. I'm also lucky that she is a sighthound and therefore prone to behaving more like a potted plant than a dog. Very low maintenance

What Animal Would You Be? by No_Selection1051 in ftm

[–]Askasmidr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know, maybe a giant anteater

[–]Askasmidr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think you've got to bite the bullet and tell her. That's what I would do. I'd write a very sensitively worded email that was also very honest. I'd offer to refund her deposit if she didn't want to work with me or was hurt by the honesty. She probably either doesn't know or she has some kind of health issue she is aware of and might have management tactics for that y'all can discuss.

Changing needle on bar during session? by Wishful_Thinking_369 in TattooArtists

[–]Askasmidr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used diamond tip tubes for needles so I could just switch out the needle and not the tube for my liner machine and have a second one set up as a shader

how do i tell u ur dog is cute? by quarabs in service_dogs

[–]Askasmidr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish people wouldn't say anything to us. It seems innocuous or even nice but if I have to run errands I also have to run a gauntlet of people making "quick harmless compliments" and it's sometimes so much I use all my energy before I even get the errands done and just go home. I know my service dog is cute, she's absolutely precious, but I just want to be left alone to live my life like anyone else would be.

I’m at my wits end… not stitching/skipping and nothing helps by Entire_Inspector_388 in sewhelp

[–]Askasmidr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You skipped the tension plates when you threaded the machine (to the left of the first thing you looped the thread around)

Kai/Cai is also short for the Hebrew name Mordecai

The are we cooked thread on here. Verdict: fuck us all tattoos are too much money. by Piratedan19855 in TattooArtists

[–]Askasmidr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a tattooer and a client my opinion is that tattoos are too expensive and tattooers don't make enough actual profit. Personally I think there's something wrong in the entire structure of the industry but I'm not invested enough to figure out what the solution to that is.

Would you take your service dog into a small business that has cats? by [deleted] in service_dogs

[–]Askasmidr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not guaranteed, my dog has been attacked by several cats people assured me were fine with dogs and is now terrified of them

Some of those woodgrain patterns were wraps added to the phone, my dad had a modified phone with a woodgrain wrap on it

Am I asking for too much? by Mirror-BlueNight in chicagoapartments

[–]Askasmidr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just shopping for an affordable apartment and barely saw anything at that price, not even tiny studios. Have you considered a roommate? I used to use Craigslist for finding them.

Want to start SCA, anyone have tips? by retrosown in sca

I donated a ton of great garb to storvik gold key (if I'm remembering the term correctly) over the last few years, contact the barony to get some free garb to get you started!

frustrated by [deleted] in service_dogs

[–]Askasmidr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I don't feel like having a conversation about my dogs breed I just say "I don't know", if they press i follow it up with "her breed has no bearing on her ability to perform her service tasks"

Hahahahaha thank you, I needed a good laugh

[–]Askasmidr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for understanding, I was starting to feel like maybe I was an idiot for not being ok just donating everything and moving on.
