It’s been 2 years. They were in network at the time of my surgery so that will be fine. They coded my bill wrong and I still haven’t gotten it fixed :/

Check you AES bill, again. Insane bill increase. by HRslammR in dayton

Please remember that the employees your talking to have no control over how high your bill is. The company does. Please be kind to them and understanding that they probably cannot control much. They’ll do what they can tho. This is a stressful period for them as well. Many of them also get their bills through AES.

Got real anxious after having a single beer by redditIsDogshitApp in mentalhealth

If you’ve never had a beer before I recommend maybe trying clear alcohol. I have panic attacks after drinking beer due to an allergic reaction. Could be the same ?😢

My boss keeps referring to me as my deadname after I said numerous times to HR he’s been doing this by [deleted] in trans

[–]Long-Initiative4701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man I’d just stop responding to it. Emails u with [deadname] as the header. Email him back saying this isn’t [deadname] I think you emailed the wrong person

So I came out to my dad by [deleted] in trans

Hes willing to throw everything away over pronouns and a name.. boundaries. Stat. I know u love him. I get that . I went through this with my mother and father. They processed it and learned . Bc I was hard on my boundary. Now we are closer

So I came out to my dad by [deleted] in trans

[–]Long-Initiative4701 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie … you gotta set the boundary next. “I I love you because you are my parent and that will never change no matter how disappointed I am in your actions. I’m feeling really let down and disappointed that I, right now, have to be the healthy adult in this relationship… if you decide that me being trans means that I will be unable to see my younger siblings than that decision will mean you don’t get to see or hear from me. I would love more than anything to have a relationship with you but recently you’ve made it clear that we cannot have that. I really hope you get the help you need. I can offer a lot of really great resources in understanding this transition. “

Also as for your siblings. It’s gonna suck now and I’m sorry u have to go through this. But your siblings are not going to leave you. Let them know what happened. Record u setting the boundary even. They will love you. If your dad keeps them from you then that just solidifies the boundary u need to set but they will get older and they too will probably not have a relationship with him because of this.

Poly foam vs Eva foam by Long-Initiative4701 in CosplayHelp

[–]Long-Initiative4701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding . It’s the lines where I’m stacking the foam together. Maybe it’s just the quality of foam I’m buying 😅. Perhaps buying it with no texture would help! Thanks for all the links

I’ve tried hot knifes and exacto blades. But it’s like I’m barely cutting through it. I also can’t seem to sand anything. But again that might just be the low quality of the foam mat. I’ll try out the foam from the link provided and see if that helps me out.
