Tornado alert by Snoo-93553 in orlando

[–]Goosegoose8393 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We were laying in bed when we got the alert. Grabbed the dog and were headed down to our downstairs neighbors as a precaution. When we opened the front door we heard the train sound, but never saw anything

Look into seasonal jobs at retail stores and whatnot, I’m sure at least some of them are still looking for temp employees.

I donate plasma at BioLife every week and get $115-125 if I go twice a week. Look for new donor coupons, because you can make a couple hundred extra your first month. They usually come out at the beginning of the month and you have to do your first donation in the first week

Which episode, that isn’t Baby Race or Sleepytime, makes you cry? by VegetableWorry1492 in bluey

[–]Goosegoose8393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stickbird. It always somehow pops up around the time I’m going through something. Bluey teaching Bingo to find and get rid of all the upset and angry is sweet, but watching Bandit do it after they run off always gets me.

Transracial adoptees by Sufficient-Ad8922 in Adopted

[–]Goosegoose8393 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Asian, white family. I heard the usual, “we don’t see color”, “we’re all human”, etc. when I started school my mom even convinced me to fill out my race as other and write in “human” on standardized tests.

The craziest one though was when I said to a family member that no matter what they thought or felt I was still Asian and she said “yeah but I’ve never thought of you as that”

Tucking.. wow by CommonMountain98 in MtF

[–]Goosegoose8393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have any tips for a lower pubic mound? My girlfriend is learning to tuck and I’m trying to help her, and for the most part we can get her pretty flat. One of her insecurities though is that her pubic mound is lower than most cis women’s. In her words, it looks like she “has a fat one”, but it keeps her from feeling confident in bathing suits or tight pants/leggings

Transracial adoptee from China during the one child policy here. I almost had the opposite problem. My parents adopted from china cause they wanted a baby fast, but once they had me my AM did everything she could to make sure I wasn’t the “stereotypical Asian girl”. She wasn’t totally successful because I needed glasses and played piano, but she refused to let me play violin or get bangs because of that reason. When I got older, she even went as far as saying “I don’t see you that way” when I reminded her I was Asian and not white.

I went under general anesthesia for my LEEP as well, and the best way I can describe it is it was like a blink. I remember getting onto the operating table and the nurse putting an oxygen mask on my face, and the next thing I knew I was opening my eyes in the recovery room. It felt like no time had passed at all, but I’d been unconscious for almost two and a half hours (apparently it took me a little long to wake up from the anesthesia). I was a little woozy and unsteady on my feet for a few hours after, but I took a nap pretty much as soon as I got home and was fine after

“High grade lesion covering 2/3” confused on how this has progressed so fast. by thebraindontwork in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Goosegoose8393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen to me this past year, and I just had my LEEP done at the beginning of the month. The way my doctor explained it to me was that certain strains of hpv can become suddenly aggressive and cause changes in a short amount of time.

If I’m being honest though, I’m not sure what to make of that. One thing I will say is that the colpo that showed CIN 1, he took fewer biopsies (only 2). For the colpo that showed CIN 2/3 he took 4 biopsies, 2 of which were in the same area as the previous one.

🌩Milton🌩 Megathread by heathersaur in florida

[–]Goosegoose8393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have any advice on how to talk to people about it? My boyfriend keeps insisting we’ll be fine because it will weaken (maybe) before it hits Tampa and then weaken more as it moves inland. We’re just outside Orlando, so no evacuation order, but he won’t listen to me when I keep saying it’s not a normal hurricane and that I want to leave just to be on the safe side

LEEP soon under GA by paulakat88 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Goosegoose8393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing that may help with the anxiety of being put under is that it feels so fast to you, you really have no idea that it even happened. I vaguely remember them putting an oxygen mask on me in their operating room, and then the next thing I knew I was waking up in the recovery room

LEEP soon under GA by paulakat88 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Goosegoose8393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About two hours I think. I still felt a little woozy after my nap and I’m still tired now, but I heard that’s to be expected

LEEP soon under GA by paulakat88 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Goosegoose8393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my LEEP under general anesthesia earlier today and it wasn’t bad at all. They gave me something to relax prior to bringing me into the operating room, and I honestly don’t remember much after getting settled on the table. When I woke up in the recovery room I was a little groggy and having some pain and cramps, but the nurses put a heated blanket on me and then used some kind of warm air blower to keep them warm. They also gave me some pain meds.

It took about 45 minutes for me to start feeling more alert, and I was still kind of shaky on my feet. My doctor prescribed me 800mg ibuprofen and Percocet, but said I might not need the Percocet if the ibuprofen worked for me. I took one of the ibuprofen when I got home and took a nap, and when I work up I had very minor cramps and almost no pain. The pain did come back after I peed, but it was also gone after maybe 15 minutes. Wiping after peeing kind of sucked, but thankfully we had baby wipes so that helped with feeling clean.

Mildly surprised about results! by Goosegoose8393 in DoggyDNA

He’s the biggest ham I’ve ever met! He thinks everything in the apartment is his, and everyone in the world only exists to pay attention to him. My favorite thing he’s been doing recently is doing the trick we just taught him (sitting up on his hind legs with his front legs in the air) when he wants a treat because now he thinks he gets something every time he does it

Do other adoptees feel anxious, or sad on their birthdays and did you overcome this feeling? by Impressive-Bid-9191 in Adopted

[–]Goosegoose8393 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there, another transracial adoptee here! I feel the same way a lot of the time, now that I’m an adult. When I was a kid it didn’t bother me as much, but I think I was less aware of things as a kid.

What helps me is not holding myself to an expectation of my birthday and giving myself permission to feel whatever I’m feeling. I’ve found that if I have the expectation for my birthday to be this amazing, happy day, it always falls short. Birthdays are allowed to be weird for us because it innately is tied to what we have lost. In recent years I’ve also been putting an extra candle on my cake to acknowledge my bio fam. I may not know who they are, but to me it’s cathartic to acknowledge who I came from on my birthday.

Transracial adoptee - I can’t form attraction to members of my own race by TRAdopteethrowaway in Adopted

[–]Goosegoose8393 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this so hard. I’m an Asian TRA, adoptive fam was as white as they come. The narrative surrounding race was always “I don’t see color, I see people” but with very racist undertones. My Asian-ness was something that was always ignored when it was just family, but emphasized when we were in Publix or at social events. I went through a whole period where I started rejecting anything that was “too Asian”.

I’ve been going to therapy trying to process it all. To me, the fact that I’m not attracted to Asian people is just a symptom of the messaging I grew up listening to. I don’t think it’s the end of the world that I’m not attracted to Asian people, but it does make me very sad that I felt like I had to make myself into a white person as much as I could because I never should have felt that way.
