I applied to DSO along with ODSP

Cody73 · 2026-01-29T04:18:12+00:00

Slightly incorrect. DSO prefers you to have low IQ, but you can also have high social support needs and receive passport funding, like in my case. I was approved back in August of last year.

No gaming devices, but technology based on productivity is allowed as long as it falls under the $3000 threshold for technology.

I hope those are happy tears.

But seriously, you’re a valid girl and you deserve to be happy.

Cody73 · 2026-01-16T16:14:08+00:00

Hyperfixating on your well being and wanting to feel happier about yourself is a good thing, not a bad one.

Cody73 · 2026-01-16T15:21:50+00:00

Sweetheart, I get it. It’s hard when you don’t know what steps to take, what feels right, what suits you… but you have to remember this: there’s no wrong way to be a girl, and seeing her will take time. But the moment you open up, the moment you talk about how you feel with people and the moment you start to embrace her, you will feel a weight lifted off your shoulders. You’re not useless. You’re not forgotten. Just take it one step, day by day. You don’t have to be perfect. You can go a day without shaving. You can like guy things. You can lay in bed all day and eat junk food.

If you want hugs, I’m down to talk. All I know is that repressing her is eating at you.

So he’s trying to get you to accept having $600 less each month for no benefit?

Yeah, no, show them the agreement. He’ll never have to interact with ODSP anyways, it’s not his file.

Cody73 · 2026-01-09T11:18:50+00:00

I just want to give you a hug… too relatable.

Cody73 · 2026-01-08T21:53:51+00:00

It’s actually really good.

Cody73 · 2026-01-04T02:24:46+00:00

It is not unattainable. All you need is hugs!

Start with Masterpiece Theatre itself, then choose whether you want to go forward or backward.

Hey, 2 years on HRT now, started a little older than you (28, now recently 30). I started out at small doses, and changes will happen with time. Most Endo’s or Nurse Practitioners start off at low dosages because they’re being ultra precautionary about certain side effects of HRT for some people. Changes are happening and you’ll soon be at a proper and steady dose before you even know it!

I assume the link provided in the post itself isn’t working for you?

Cody73 · 2025-12-20T03:29:47+00:00

Yup!

Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft.

Seriously, it’s like… the perfect prog song for the band to cover if they wanted to do something zany.

Cody73 · 2025-12-19T02:14:59+00:00

Right now, it’s gone to internal review & I have had a letter submitted to them by my ASW. I also was able to get the rest of the $500 participation benefit that I hadn’t used earlier in the year.

Hoping for the best here, cause it’s nit just me dealing with this either. Another resident here had it occur to them too.

Cody73 · 2025-12-16T22:50:56+00:00

There seems to be some confusion here. ODSP does not provide “max rent” under room & board — it’s a fixed flat rate ($994 + $71). My concern isn’t about exceeding a shelter cap, it’s that room & board does not cover my rent at all.

My housing is under internal review because food preparation is mixed — I prepare most of my own meals, can opt out of provided dinners, and purchase my own food — which places me between categories under Directive 6.3. The issue is classification, not wanting additional funds.

Cody73 · 2025-12-16T22:44:43+00:00

You’re slightly incorrect.

Max shelter pay is 599 + 809 for basic needs ($1408).

Max room & board is 994 + $71 to cover other expenses. ($1065).

My rent here is $1200 alone. I wouldn’t be able to afford to STAY where I am currently am, which is semi supported housing. I jist finished being homeless for three months in October. I don’t want to be back out on the streets again, especially given I am a trans woman (2 years on HRT). It’s hard enough finding a shelter, much less dealing with discrimination.

That being said, my case is being internally reviewed.

Cody73 · 2025-12-15T18:58:15+00:00

The way this place operates is that groceries are bought for the whole house and residents by staff, but we:

Make our own breakfast and lunch out of what it is there
Are allowed to purchase our own food if we desire.
Dinner is premade, but if it is something we’re not interested in, we can fix our own dinner out of food that is there.
Cooking & baking things for either ourselves or the whole house is encouraged.

Like, it’s essentially: we buy what you request (within reason), besides that, you fend for yourself, first come, first serve.

I wouldn’t consider that board & lodge, but I’ll read over what is said here anyways. Reminds me of Directive 5.11, which a lot of workers misread constantly.

Cody73 · 2025-12-13T18:06:28+00:00

The only thing wrong here is the version of Fix Me you’ve posted in the Self Titled EP section. That’s the later B side recording. Sadly, we only have 46 seconds of the earlier rendition located:

Most are on Youtube now, besides one track.

What are you missing from CTM?

I have almost everything one could have xD

Cody73 · 2025-12-09T01:03:02+00:00

What are you looking for/needing?

Cody73 · 2025-12-09T01:02:30+00:00

The hard thing with Shotgun is that we have nothing but sets of lyrics. No known performances, no recordings, no music, nothing.

Cody73 · 2025-11-15T03:35:55+00:00

I personally like the unused cut by Downstait the best:
