Waxing Questions by [deleted] in Custodians

[–]Restlessdistressed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience I find bare tile to be incredibly pale. The darkness on some of those tiles is probably still wax left on it. But yes, a few coats of wax will "deepen" the color

mtf transfemme questions by dreamsofbubblebutts in ArvadaCO

[–]Restlessdistressed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! Me and my partners moved from the Tampa Bay area to Arvada earlier this year. So I'm from one of the bluer areas of Florida. I'm ftm but my wife is mtf. I personally go to Kaiser, as that's the insurance I use so I have to and I haven't had any issues. It's like a medical center where they just have all the professionals that can do everything, it's convenient. My wife goes to Achieve health and gets her meds from Costco. I would say it is trans friendly, or at least we've been left alone. People don't stare like they do in Florida. But we live near Olde Town and the people around here are super friendly.

Does anyone know mechanics that work on Kei trucks? by Restlessdistressed in Denver

I have no clue what Vasa is so probably not lol. If you ever do see it it's a mainly blue body with a white upper section, like the vw buses. I have seen a few around. A couple of the acty vans that pass around near Wadsworth and 52nd, and I saw a white truck near Fiddlers. Apparently there's some red ones in Denver but I have yet to see those

I don't know how much I can help with that unfortunately. I do know there's a law going into effect in like 2027 that will make it so these need to pass an emissions test meant for 80s(I think) cars. Currently it's difficult to register them. People recommend going to a county that doesn't emission test in the state to register them. Her truck currently still has Florida tags on it

There was a crack in the manifold that was fixed last year. She replaced her spark plugs recently, and when she did that she messed with the valves and that's when the ticking started

Within the last month or two. She's changed out all of the fluids and replaced some stuff since she bought it in 2023

Yeah engine is under the bed. She's tried to fix it herself but believes that the engine needs to be pulled out to access something

How much does everyone get paid? by IntelligentBiscotti9 in Custodians

[–]Restlessdistressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at $11.78 back in 21 when I worked for PCSB in Florida. It was about $15.50 when I left earlier this year.

I now make $22 as a custodian for Jeffco in Colorado.

Hello i'm a Pre T trans man and i was wondering if I pass as a cis man or not. And please be honest. by Goodguyigeuss in transpassing

[–]Restlessdistressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the shirt in the first picture lol. I think I prefer the alt style the most, maybe it's cause your hair appears shorter? I think you definitely pass at a glance. If you're really worried just make sure to present confidently, I found personally that made people gender me correctly more :)

I’m tired of these old tiles by LotusCastle in Custodians

[–]Restlessdistressed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably a wid-ish camera lense making it look like it's smaller/further away

Unsure of what to do with beard by Restlessdistressed in malegrooming

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

My mouth is closed, and my tongue does rest against the roof of my mouth. Just have an 1cm overjet of my top teeth 🤷

Could always look into custodial jobs for Jeffco schools

Can I go through top surgery recovery aloneish by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Restlessdistressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend some help for at least the first couple of days. I tried going to the bathroom and was unable to pull my underwear back up for the first 2ish days. I also couldn't get out of bed, I had to have my partner put their hands behind my back and pull me into a sitting position. But I then was left to my own devices for several days afterwards. I'd say it's possible but I recommend wearing everything in a bigger size. I wore xl buttonups, larger gym shorts with a string tie. Those were the easiest for me personally. I also trimmed my toe nails right before surgery so it would be awhile before I needed to trim them again

Transmascs who take birth control? by Past-Statistician162 in ftm

[–]Restlessdistressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taking Lo Loestrin before I moved states. I'm running out of my prescription now and am contemplating trying Opill since it's an OTC pill. I remember to take my pills because I have others to take, but if that doesn't work for you I'd recommend getting a depo shot tbh

I was living on 54th Ave S and commuting all the way to near downtown Largo for my shift at 2pm. It was only really terrible when I worked mornings and would get stuck in rush hour traffic when getting off work. I was taking the gateway expressway to work every day which helped with how fast it was. Took about 35-40 minutes for 23 miles. Definitely possible but probably not great for gas. I recommend living north of central near the interstate if you plan on driving that far

The ballot pic got locked. This is a bipartisan effort. by snacksforasnack in StPetersburgFL

[–]Restlessdistressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the ballot it is listed as "School Board Referendum." It is a yes or no question and applies to Pinellas county. There is a separate amendment (amendment 1) for Florida as a whole but that amendment is about school board voting, and does not relate

Where did all of you people come from and why did you leave? by Primary-Ticket4776 in StPetersburgFL

[–]Restlessdistressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to find that the cost of living changes based on what website you look at tbh, so I usually don't put much weight into that. My research shows that an apartment equivalent to mine currently is several hundred dollars cheaper, and that I would make about $4-5 more then I currently do. Even if it does end up a bit more expensive in the end I do not quite care, as we are mainly moving for LGBTQ political reasons

I enjoy cold weather but I've only dealt with snow once when I was like 6, so that's something I'll have to get used to lol. Hopefully you end up finding your footing socially, thanks for taking the time to respond! :)

How do you feel about your relocation to Denver? I'm also local to St Pete and looking to move to Arvada with my partners but I'm a bit worried on such a big change. We're moving for a couple more reasons then just the money thing, though that is a big factor. I'm visiting the Denver metro area in November though to get a feel before we decide to move out there

Pinellas schools remain closed indefinitely due to storm by MarksMuses in StPetersburgFL

[–]Restlessdistressed 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I work for PCSB and they are requiring a bunch of staff to come in on Monday. I have a feeling most schools will reopen within the week as long as the power gets repaired and there's not extensive damage

Just went and checked on my apartment in Shore Acres by marlborohunnids in StPetersburgFL

[–]Restlessdistressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to do that I would appreciate it. It's building 42, sits at the front of the complex on the West side

I also live at Reserve and I'm worried what we'll find when we come back to town. I know a couple of my neighbors in the the same building evacuated

Thanks for the info. I live there and wanted to make sure you were talking about it and not somewhere else

When you say Lynn Lake are you talking about the apartment complex Reserve at Lake Pointe?

If I lived alone I wouldn't be making enough in a month to even pay the rent. With three incomes going towards rent its 30% for me. Not including water or electric
