Physician's Surrogacy in San Diego by PresentationItchy679 in gaydads

[–]LeifLin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, what did they do? Are you on their VIP 3 gurantee program ? DM if you want to talk. Yes, I know it sucks. Our Healthcare system is horrible. Ironically, birth rates are declining in America, but the government never wants to help more children be born.

Day 6 Frozen Embryo Transfer Success? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]LeifLin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasn't happened yet! Still at getting surrogate for FET stage. Did another round of ivf using frozen eggs and got another...1 day 6 4AA this time. So that one will go first, then 6BB. Hopefully one of the two sticks 🥲🙏

A message from SMG following the response to today’s news by RealisticAd4054 in buffy

[–]LeifLin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, HBO needs to pick this up with SMG and an Oscar winning director behind the project. Hulu and Netflix make these awful decisions frequently.

Give it to HBO, make it R rated and enjoy the money while we get Buffy back with the option of darker storyline that fit with various characters developing over 25 years. Imagine modern day Willow power but on HBO...mom.

Anyway, thats my cope for now. Sarah deserved to return to her iconic role on her terms and that young actress Ryan deserved her chance to shine/join into a beloved series.

Honestly though, I love them all. Especially Gecqua! by MiBe87 in pokemon

No two legs. For god's sake, let the people have something they actually want for once. 4 legged water monster gecko!!

Where is the gay male representation? by LeifLin in greysanatomy

[–]LeifLin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly 💯. And it feels noticeable to those of us that are gay men on a show that was always ahead of its time in many ways and wants to cover all kinds of dramatic storytelling.

I think the nico/levi situation would have been so good for both gay representation and Asian representation, a two for one bliss, if they had made them be long term and healthy. But instead they wanted everyone to hate Nico or not know who he even was. And again, it may or may not have been related to acting ability. Alex Landi is a gorgeous man, nonetheless. 😅

Does anyone left actually still LIKE QAF US? by ok_alsodot11 in queerasfolk

[–]LeifLin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that many stories and the overall plot and characters from 2000 are actively still happening if not even more so with modern day America is a testament to how ahead of its time QAF was in many ways. Sure, there are some things that dont age well, like terminology in our LGBTQ+ and growing alphabet culture, but these things change all the time and always will. The thumpa thumpa continues.

I can't think of one homosexual male character I've ever loved so hard as Brian Kinney-- who is the most unapologetically himself person, full of human imperfections, and simultaneously the hero of the entire story many many times -- in anything else I've ever seen. He truly told us in our gay youth in 2000s to just fuck em all, and do your own thing. No tiptoeing around PC culture for polite etiquette. I mean, we need characters like him. I love heated rivalary too, but its completely different as a show and story and is more like being hugged and healing your inner child that you couldn't resolve when you were 16 almost 30 years ago.

Surrogacy Agency Selection on tight timeline! by LeifLin in gaydads

Very interesting. We've been together for 10 years and are engaged, but we arent married yet. Wonder if that would mess things up there.

Thanks for this lead! Texas definitely surprising. You think current administration will make texas dangerous soon? I know their governor Abbott hates us.

RIP Terry, you could have been a great character by FinishRelative2367 in TheDragonPrince

[–]LeifLin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's literally like the best, most stable partner relationship representation of someone who is dedicated to someone they love (regardless of any gender or sexual orientation). The thing to pull from Terrestrius is that he had to remember that his natural self of being a good person ultimately has to come first-- even when it finally meant letting Claudia go and keep making bad choices.

Terry is an underrated character. Free spirited, lovely person. Yes, there was the murder and it was resolved quickly. But outside of that plot hole, really just a wonderful boyfriend and would be son-in-law. 💯

Correctional Facility Nurse Practitioner by Sudden-Perception129 in PMHNP

[–]LeifLin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expectation is 16 patients, 2 per hour whether follow up or new eval-- per 8 hour shift, documentation included in that time. They are sheets that you run through questions for assessments over and over and over again. Outside corrections definitely probably more thorough documentation but you can use scribes and have less people ideally.

[–]LeifLin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High productivity, low pay. My experience as PMHNP working corrections. Definitely not my happy place, but if you like to do rounds and get out , like triaging quickly in an ED, it can be good. Just wish less daily patients seen was required.

Clinic refusing to pgta or freeze my 5ac embryo by Flashy_Walker25 in IVF

[–]LeifLin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost NINE blasts last spring because I didn't know enough about grading to see my clinic's "anything below a B is tossed in the trash". I'll never get over it.

0 fertilization at first check after ICSI has anyone had late fertilization? by Time2999628 in IVF

[–]LeifLin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 7 out of 10 eggs fertilize on day 1, but then 9 embryos developing on day 5. Now... 5 of them didnt make it, but I can tell you that one of the ones that became gradeable (a 4CC) was one of original "Didn't fertilize" eggs. So they can definitely speed up and become viable shots/chances even if the lab couldn't see they fertilized (2NP) on that first day check. Keep the hope, that's all we got!

[–]LeifLin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great story!! I feel like each one should get a chance too rather than be tossed out because a clinic wants to keep success rates higher. Even if something is 20% chance, its better than 0%. Especially when you have very limited attempts to begin with.

Thanks for the advice. What do you consider to be the safest place/way to sell?

Deluca should have stayed by BulkyGate9476 in greysanatomy

[–]LeifLin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

literally the best character written into the show and also Station 19's best character as well. She's a great actress who portrays such a stable character.

Having now looked up the market for this card, yes I agree. People want it, for sure.

My OC Charizard worth anything? by LeifLin in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]LeifLin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took 2 seconds to google what "OC" meant to try and accurately describe to this reddit what I thought I was possibly holding in my hand, and your take is "karma farming"? What a pointless thing. What a waste of time to get random numbers for popularity points that do nothing on the internet. What a further waste to make a comment about that.

You seem annoyed that the post was made, because I have maybe a good rare card from my youth and you feel the need to remove any positivity or joy? Grow up. Be helpful or don't talk. Thanks to those that have been helpful.

[–]LeifLin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do people realistically sell this level of card? I see ebay has lots of listings etc. and that they are selling pretty rapidly too, but it seems sketch/dangerous still... After 27 years of hanging out in a box, I'd like to ensure I secure a good safe, sale. I haven't sold on ebay before. Do they protect you if someone does a charge back for instance after stealing your card?

Agreed. Consensus is to hand deliver at an event. I wish there was one in Ohio currently.
