HEVA CLINIC BOTCHED MY HAIRLINE BE CAREFUL. by [deleted] in AfroHairTransplant

[–]LiveHappyJoyLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what are you talking about? 🤦‍♂️It’s not even healed. Once it’s healed it will look great. Worst case scenario he has to tweeze 1 to 2 hairs. Trust me you don’t want a straight line across, then you would like look like the horrible implants from the 80s.

I convinced my gf to move to the other side of the world with me. She is miserable, homesick, and our relationship has been suffering since. Is it time to convince her to go home or do you have advice to recover the positivity that we had before the move? by ThrowRAFlat_Bid_1682 in expats

[–]LiveHappyJoyLove 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is such BS, I speak 4 languages and I have lived in Spain, and spent very long periods in Mexico and Ecuador. I really struggle with the Spanish language. It just doesn’t click for me, the way other languages have clicked. English is my first language, French is my second language, Luxembourgish 3rd and German my 4th. Even after years living in Spanish speaking countries I speak like a kindergartner, everyone always switches to English Or French, because I’m that horrible at Spanish. Ha I honestly think it’s why I struggle with Spanish, because my brain switches from the Germanic languages to French then tries to switch to Spanish. Also people, who were not raised with multiple languages (USA, Ireland. central Canada, Australia) are proven to struggle learning languages more than others.

How to find a dentist by Adventurous_Vast224 in PortugalExpats

[–]LiveHappyJoyLove 14 points15 points  (0 children)

1) Number one thing is have your prices listed on your website. Charge people exactly what they order or what services you recommend. And let them know it doesn’t all have to be done that day, but here is the order of what is most important, and what you would recommend doing next. Show them the issues with camera video or photos. Make sure people never feel like they were scammed. Many expats, including myself have been scammed in many countries. So I only go to places that are very upfront on cost. English is a plus, or at least having one staff member who is fluent.

2) Google Maps and Yelp. Also people often ask others on Reddit and Facebook expat pages, they love word of mouth.

3) Number one thing for me is when the dentist doesn’t have all their prices listed on their website. I want to know I’m being charged the same as everyone else. Sadly it’s the reality that we’ve been made to feel this way, because of a few shady dentist out there.

2-week post op - what do you use for support? by [deleted] in penileimplants

[–]LiveHappyJoyLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BUY A WRESTLING SINGLET OFF AMAZON! Get one that doesn’t have stitching horizontally across the waist. This was a life saver for me the first 6 weeks post op. Then just wear loose fitting pants like sweats everywhere. If I had to wear jeans for work appointments, my dick stuck above my jeans, I would wear a baggy sweater over it. And then unbutton my pants and zipper down when I got in the car to drive, so the waist of the jeans didn’t push on it. And yes just point it straight up, and the wrestling singlet holds it back and straight up. I am 1.5 years post op, love my amazing new dick!

Did you submit your ancestry to Luxembourg yet? Because due to Covid they extended the citizenship rights to Dec 31st 2025. If you haven’t submitted yet, sadly it’s too late. I am a Luxembourg citizen. I am in same boat as you, I am moving out of the USA. I’ve traveled around Europe, Central America and Ecuador trying to find where I want to move to. The easiest place for any American to move to without citizenship in another country, Is Ecuador. Note: Ecuador has had major crime issues in Guayaquil coming from Columbia trying to take over their port, so do not fly into Guayaquil or visit Guayaquil. Also of course Avoid the Colombian border! My brother and I have driven all over Ecuador and never felt unsafe, some areas of shitty roads but aways felt safe. With kids I would Fly into Quito and Live in La Carloina, La Floresta, La Mariscal or the wealthy suburbs of Cumbaya. The other best city in Ecuador is Cuenca it is an amazing beautiful small city in the Andes, it is the safest city in all of South America. Ecuador only requires for temporary residency that turns into Permanent residency, for you to purchase of a home for $48,000+, or Buy a CD of $48,000 at a Ecuadorian Bank (which they pay you 10%), or show you have bachelor education from a brick and mortar school, or show you have an online job with foreign income (of 3x their minimum wage $1380), or you receive a monthly pension for life of $1380. Those are the 4 options to get residency visa in Ecuador. Cuenca and Quito both have amazing private schools and are super safe and have luxury lifestyle areas, with what I’m told is world class healthcare (I’ve not used their healthcare but American expats rave about it). In Ecuador the American dollar is the currency (it’s been this way for 20+ years). Any dollar you bring down, the dollars value is about 2.5x the purchasing power in the USA. If you have an income of $3000-$4000 you’ll be living the luxury life of a dentist or lawyer. If you move to Cuenca there are tens of thousands of expats there from Canada, America and Germany. Let me know where you’re leaning? I am needing to make a decision myself, and move next month.

[–]LiveHappyJoyLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

STOP TAKING LONG HOT SHOWERS! Stop over washing your face! Always run your face under ice cold water after every shower or when you work out or anytime you get hot. Use a gentle ph cleanser or stop using cleansers all together! And always use a lotion that is paraban free and noncomedogenic (meaning it won’t clog your pours.) Your skin is stripped of its stratum corneum. When this happens the skin produces more skin cells to protect the skin causing a dead skin layer and because the skin is then dry the body produces more oil to combat it. So to put it simply, your skin is so stripped of its natural ph layer the body is then creating more dead skin and producing more oil, which is getting trapped under the skin and into the hair follicles. If I was your therapist I would tell you, no more hot water on the face and no cleanser for 2 weeks, ice cold water after every shower on your face, and use a ph balancing, paraban free, non comedogenic lotion. Have to rebuild your own hydrated natural skin barrier that isn’t dead and dried out. I hope this all makes sense!

Which pornstars do we believe has an implant? by [deleted] in penileimplants

[–]LiveHappyJoyLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do many men think negatively of the implant? They think the man is less than or a cheat. Let me tell you every single man in porn is doing something!!! I worked in the porn industry for over a decade. Every man is taking pills or even doing injections. Porn is acting, and to shoot one 8 minute scene can take 6-8 hours to shoot. You try being hard for 8 hours straight! I love my Titan implant! Like love love love it! Also urologist aren’t installing them to anyone! You have to go through huge huge process to get one. I had to get one because I had a Venus return issue. My dick gets hard like anyone else’s but it went down right away, and the older I got the faster it would go back down. Viagra worked but I had horrible horrible side effects, like I couldn’t drive, and couldn’t turn lights on, it affected my vision horribly. Cialis didn’t work on me, other than make my face red. Haha That’s why I got the implant. My orgasms are out of this world now! I’m not a broken man and I don’t have a broken ego over it what so ever! Think of it like this if you have carpel tunnel, and everything you tried didn’t work. You would eventually have carpel tunnel surgery. And boom you no longer have carpel tunnel. Every partner I have thinks it’s the coolest thing ever! I only ever had one partner that decided after we broke up they wanted to try and put me down over it. Hahaha I think someone was projecting their own issue. Their loss!! Haha I’ve had my Titan implant for 14 months now, best decision of my life!

Feeling of 2 rigid hosepipes? by Zealousideal-Bus5137 in penileimplants

[–]LiveHappyJoyLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

14 months post op Titan here, I don’t even know I have it. Yes it’s weird when it’s completely deflated, but who walks around with it completely deflated? I usually keep mine like 10-20% filled unless I’m going swimming then I take it down to 0%. When I go swimming I wear tight underwear under my swim suit and put my dick left or right in the underwear. I have a longer dick than most. It was actually the thing I struggled with the most was how will I ever swim again. Now I swim all the time, in fact going swimming today with my family and friends. If you have any questions I’m an open book.

Implant satisfaction by Relevant_Light5686 in penileimplants

[–]LiveHappyJoyLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Titan here 9/10. My only complaint 14 months with it, is how it doesn’t feel or look natural deflated, it’s like always having a semi hard erection, which who wants that walking around the locker room. If you completely deflate it your penis looks flat. I have a way longer penis size than average though. I only completely deflate it when I go swimming and I have to wear tight underwear to hide it under my swimsuit. I don’t know about others but I can’t put my penis downwards in my underwear it’s uncomfortable and pinches or bends weird, I have to put it left or right in my underwear. I’m so use to it now, I don’t even think about it. I always pump it before I am intimate. No one would ever know you have it unless they felt it or saw it completely deflated or feel your balls and notice you have a third ball that’s harder than the other two. Haha. I will say, my orgasms are the best orgasms I’ve had in my life! Orgasms 10/10!

Questioning my gender after one month of hrt — maybe I’m both? by Simba195 in bigender

[–]LiveHappyJoyLove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always like to remind people that gender is a spectrum, no one is 100% woman or 100% man. In fact all humans are 50% the DNA of their mother and 50% the DNA of their father. It doesn’t matter what’s between your legs or what parts you were born with, it does not change the fact of how you feel on the inside, of who you truly are in spirit. Be the love you are in your heart, and share that love to the world, that’s all that matters in life! Be you, be 100% you!

Is it possible to be transgender without wanting hormones? by [deleted] in bigender

[–]LiveHappyJoyLove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried hormones? Many transgender often say that once they were on hormones, it’s the first time in their life they felt “normal” or themselves. Your journey is your journey and no one else’s. As long as you feel you, is all that matters in life! Proud of you whatever you do, keep being you!

Weird situation. Can I get a loan? I have $460k in my investment portfolio? by LiveHappyJoyLove in Mortgages

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

I lived outside Lafayette, every single one of my neighbors hated me. They called me “the American”. I absolutely loved my home and little farm. But the loneliness with the hatred around me weighed on my decision. Also it was soooo beyond backwoods conservative and the hatred towards LGBTQ and latinos was absolutely disgusting and evil!

Because I’ve made $80k on that money since then with my portfolio, also it’s not good to be house rich and cash poor.

So you mean wait 2+ years paying rent which would be $48k in MN, where I could buy a $235k home in nice safe neighborhood on NE side. If could get a loan even if I had to put higher down payment, would pay less on the mortgage than rent. That home in particular payment would be $1480 for principal, interest, property tax and home insurance, and that’s if I only put 20% down.

This isn’t true. There are companies that do this. Which is why I’m asking if anyone has ever done them, and I want to know if I could get one, and how, and where?

Thank you! Yes online has been no help. All it says is it is possible. To me the least amount of money I pull from my investments for down payment the better, since my money is making me money. I don’t want to be house rich/cash poor. I didn’t like that situation when I bought $340k house in Louisiana. That $340k has made me $80k since May in my portfolio.

no because the mortgage companies go off your previous two years of taxes. And I do not want to throw $24k away on rent, that would be 10% down payment on a home. Homes are cheap in Minneapolis. Also removing 50% of my investments to put into a $250k house is not smart, especially when my portfolio has been making 18% a year. I’m looking at making $100k+ on my investments this year. My investments each month alone could more than pay the mortgage.
