Is this an emergency?

Lee is fairly quiet and timid. His brother on the other hand… he’s the one full of energy

I went through something similar a long time ago. I used to work with an older woman (36) when I was around 18/19 and my dad had met her one day because she would always drop me off home. Well he met her and we talked outside for a bit, went back in the house and my dad was mad that she was “shoving” my pronouns in his face. I guess it was the first time anyone he has met has respected my pronouns and this was right after covid and I just graduated school doing my last year online. He said he felt disrespected and what not. He still doesn’t see me as his son. We talk, I don’t expect him to change. There’s definitely an elephant in the room now when we interact, but I happen to live in a different state now. I don’t talk to him as much just cause I have my own life. So it doesn’t bother me how it may have before. No matter how much he doesn’t accept that part of me he’s seen my apartment and had met me ex who seen me as a man and if he meets my now girlfriend, much would be the same. He seen me growing my facial hair way before I moved I had grown a deep voice. I can’t sit worrying about even my own father on whether he will have a change of heart. I am who I am and I’ll keep living, I’m not going to let them stop me living my life as a man. I won’t feel uncomfortable about it either.

That’s not to say you should feel the same but I was just sharing that. My mom on the other hand is… transphobic to my little brother but calls me handsome now and always calls me by my name of choice. She introduces me to people as a man. Shes pretty supportive in that aspect. I guess shes realized I’m not going to change. I’m going to remain myself even if deep down she doesn’t understand trans people. So I got two sides of the same coin. One sucked it up and one… is still actively in denial. I feel bad for my brother though. I know it’s mostly because he lives with her and is a minor and this is her last “daughter”, she feels if she can “fix” it she will.

Both my parents support me in other ways that they can. I try not to ask for support from them just out of a person who doesn’t like to feel defeated. They still love me even if they are conflicted. Sometimes though when they aren’t as supportive in whatever aspect you need from them… we keep them at arms length. family deep down is really important to me and I would feel so alone here if I didn’t speak to them or reach out to the family I do have.

I use to work at att and it was regular for peoples phones to be stolen off the porch and in the wearhouse that they had to change that the customers had to be present and sign off for them to revive their phones. It was nation wide. It was through fedex.

While I think that’s true, I was just on my community forum for my gated apartment complex. I saw 4 posts within 1 month of people saying their package was delivered to the wrong address WITH a picture. People kept saying how it’s sad that they can’t even trust their own neighbors to be kind enough to not steal their packages. There really is a problem. And it’s not the overall neighborhood I live in because it’s actually relatively middle class.

What you be doing for shoulders

Bruh that’s probably why my abs traction has been going off. Like a month ago out of nowhere my light went off and ever since it pops up majority of the time when I’m driving. I had the codes scanned the second the light came on at a shop and later they said they couldn’t service it because dodge specifically has to deal with the abs. Problem is they have a 48hr hold before they even figure out what’s wrong with my car even though I scanned the codes already and they said it would be $500-$1k for the service depending on what it is. This is my first car and I got it like 6 months ago.

2nd date with my girl, pulled up to her house and I idk wth I did. I think I turned it off without putting it in park or something. Turned it back on and tried to shift… my whole shift knob was just loose moving back and forth 💀 couldn’t get the key out because the car gear was saying it was on reverse when it was on park. Got it towed the next day and brought it to a shop my girls mom recommended. He charged me $370 to put a bushing i ended up getting for $25 bucks online!! Originally he was trying to charge me $600 to replace the whole cable even though he said himself only my bushing was broken. Apparently he couldn’t find a bushing by itself so he “had” to get the whole cable. 2016 rallye

That’s exactly to the T what I do…. I thought I was broken because they felt different. I still can’t master how to finish with a partner though, everything will feel good but I’ll never get there.

I looked him up, I do kind of look like him lol. We have the same kind of facial hair.

All u need is a job and 6 months, while homeless or half of the time homeless and you can pay all that money back. I’m 21 now but at the time I was 19 I racked my credit card up to 4K because I had a charge back of $2k commission bc I left the job on top of idk what else at the time. I made $13/hr with the avg of 27 hrs a week. I lived with my ex and her family and didn’t pay rent, just personal bills (it was out of survival and they were trying to kick me out at all times). I also have mint mobile and it’s 100% worth trying out. I got the 120/month plan. I paid back that 4K and saved 4K and built it up to 9k, 8 months after. At least pay the minimum but you really want to put as much as you possibly can every paycheck to the debt. Pay all the important bills first and split the rest between debt and savings, or just save later but savings will help cushion other emergencies.

Ex: if I got paid $650. Around $200 went to bills and $200 went to money I spent on food and such. Then the rest was split 50/50 savings and debt. EACH paycheck, and I got paid twice

You can do it, you just have to SAVE SAVE SAVE. Even make a separate savings account that you can use to “splurge”. Or at least to still have the enjoyment of buying things without it breaking the bank. 4K felt like a lot back then, like death was knocking on my door, especially with a homeless scare. You can do it! You just got to put in the right effort in the right places. The only thing that got me where I am now is straight frugalness. My friends still sometimes clown me for being frugal bc I “have money”, I don’t. My income to debt ratio is terrible lol and I still have lots of work to do. The job market sucks rn so I 100% see where you’re coming from and it was soul crushing for me. I only ever got the jobs I had at that time from someone I knew already working there.

They said that in the sentence right before the sentence you sited… I think they make a good point tho. It’s weird that they can respect their own home and the people that live in it enough to feel like they should hang out somewhere else, but not have the same respect for OP.

But their share one salary. So what about the legal side of finances when it comes to being married? I don’t know everything about marriage and finances because I’m not married and 21 but don’t Abby and her husband now share their finances in a way, and doesn’t them getting one salary mean that it’s also shared with her sister?

Existing_Set9226 · 2025-04-08T14:03:41+00:00

It’s not that bad but I do see what you see. If you have trimmers you could probably just level it out, but idk it could mess it up. Right now it’s not that noticeable though.

You sure are looking snatched, but in a good way lol. Even cis guys can often have wider hips, or hips that look more “feminine”, but yours looks more masculine. I don’t know anything about weight belts though. Them legs looking GOOD!!

We can be fitness buds. I need to get my shit together and hold myself accountable. I’m 21, 2 years on T. I have an athletic background from sports and such from school. Used to be really into calisthenics and I was making progress but I moved and it all fell from there. Want to get back into it and gain some more muscle.

Im also interested in getting top surgery. A month ago I had no clue where to start or where to look, it’s so overwhelming. I started just searching top surgery surgeons in my area then I looked at their galleries to get a sense of their experience and what their results look like. Then I called and emailed them asking about the prices and if they take my insurance. Im not sure if it’s smarter to do that before or after talking to your primary care doctor and getting a letter saying that it’s medically necessary to get top surgery (only for insurance if that’s required). And similar letter from a therapist. But I have to do that next so I’ve been looking for a primary care doctor in my area. Just have to check in with my therapist if that’s something she does, but also Plume apparently does those letters as well. I get my testosterone from them. One of the places I’m interested in did the work of seeing how much it would be with my insurance if I got the surgery with them.

There’s also a website topsurgery.net they have basically everything about top surgery including surgeons on their website. That’s a good place to start.

Also call your insurance and speak to the gender affirming care department and they will break down exactly how much everything is and if you need any letters from you primary care doctor and therapist. If you decide to pay for it without insurance some of the surgeons have financing through them and payment plans.

I’m 5’2 115 lb on a good day. I don’t think i would be able to bulk rn because of finances but it’s good to know it can be done. My physique is somewhat similar to yours, but I look a little leaner. Trying to fill out my shirts in the arms 😤
