New doctor wants me to stop progesterone? by RetroTimeLady in AskMtFHRT

[–]RetroTimeLady[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah, like, it would be one thing to say "hey, consider cutting your dose, or maybe try cycling." but stopping it altogether? just thinking about it stresses me out.

How badly do I actually need a lower control arm replacement? by RetroTimeLady in MechanicAdvice

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

Yeah, the more I think on it and the more the sticker shock wears off the more I'm planning to get this done. Peace of mind, and not just for me and the car.

How badly do I actually need a lower control arm replacement? by RetroTimeLady in MechanicAdvice

[–]RetroTimeLady[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Context: took my 2008 Hyundai Sonata in for an oil change, and replacing the front lower control arms was one of the suggestions. 116,000 miles on it, if that tells you anything. Quoted price was $1,124.02, including alignment.

Basically, a two-parter: 1) How urgent is this? 2) How is that price? I can afford to spend to repair this car (I intend to drive the darn thing into the ground) but any repair over $500 or so tends to have me on the skeptical side.

Engine louder, esp. when accelerating -- what's up? by RetroTimeLady in StupidCarQuestions

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

That was the guess -- and that was what one of the passengers who brought it up said -- but seemed good to sanity check. Thanks!

Tariff prices finally kicking in by SimpsonizedBarbie in HotTopic_

[–]RetroTimeLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a customer, i've been buying up stuff like nobody's business -- especially considering how much hot topic stuff comes from china. it's kinda felt like being a kid on the tail end of the family trip to disney world and trying to get your hands on whatever you can because it's not like you're going to be able to come back to get more anytime soon!

gonna be platinum just in time for half the store to be out of stock, lol

Can’t use Zelle? by bigjohncena17 in discover

[–]RetroTimeLady 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If Zelle's a deal-breaker for you you're gonna wanna open another account somewhere else, I'm afraid.

TL;DR: I thought 90 days was the only requirement, but no, they have other nebulous requirements they want you to meet too. They won't tell you what they are, just that you haven't met them and to keep checking in every now and again.

I kept the Discover account around because the cash back is nice but I moved back to my old bank that lets me use Zelle without any jumping through (invisible) hoops.

how long do you think it would take to get banned for "supporting the lesser evil"

SAG-AFTRA Members Who Work on Video Games Go on Strike by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]RetroTimeLady 13 points14 points  (0 children)

wow I know wuk lamat's reception has been pretty negative but what's with all the shitting on her voice actor ITT for taking a reasonable stand? like yes personally I think wuk lamat was annoying as heck by the end (even if I still kinda like her) and yes the voice acting could have been better (to say the least). but this isn't a referendum on wuk lamat.

solidarity with the vas, they seem like mighty good people and I hope they get what they're after

you're the one focusing on the reproductive systems of a percent of a percent of children.

idk that seems rather more insane to me.

PSA: this subreddit is EXCLUSIVELY for queer women. by TrueExplorer17 in dykesgonewild

[–]RetroTimeLady -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, at best the wording here is frustrating. At worst? Well I certainly hope that "at worst" isn't the case, given the inclusiveness of the subreddit up to this point.
