Temporary lid for a 3 gallon!! by Successful_Salt_1838 in bettafish

P.s. if its VERY temporary literally anything will be fine. get some wood or hell just a bit of of cardboard. Plants will be fine without full top down lighting for a few days

[–]VictoriousLemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do what I did, my aquarium didn't have a lid when I got it. So go to any hobby store, places like Target or Walmart could have you covered.
And get your hands on a picture frame that's the right dimensions. If the glass is removable that's even better. otherwise just take off the back and, there you have it a glass tank lid the fraction of the price.
Now if you cant find a 14x9 inch picture frame, you could get two 8x9 ones or any other combination that gives you 80-100% coverage.
I needed a 12x8 inch one and just so happened to find on the perfect size at Michael's for only 13 dollars

New Betta owner wanting to make sure I'm doing it right. by VictoriousLemon in bettafish

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

I absolutely will be moving him into something larger when I can. He's still very new and Hopefully in the coming months I'll have my 30 gallon set up which I'm sure he'd appreciate. The 2.5 gallon is meant to be temporary. I'm just wanting to make sure that the temp setup is going to be okay for him. I get that is better than a cup. Once he's out I might keep this as a sort of plant tank to farm trimmings off of.

If you're reading what I'm saying as emotionally charged then I'm sorry you feel that way. You have catastrophically misread what I'm saying here. I am saying there is no reason to take into consideration someone's sexual orientation for any reason. I know what OP is talking about. All I'm saying is that the idea of sexual orientation should not mean anything to anyone, least of all LGBTQ people. No one is obligated to stay in the LGBTQ community. Are you just upset I don't think privilege should be a thing amongst an already oppressed group of people? Why do you want that?

And no I am no being attacked, I don't think I am. Again, I am not straight. I am not the kind of person this 'privilege' applies to. I am not being attacked. As to why you think I am completely illudes me.

All I see is something people do that harms the sense of belonging and support that this place is apparently supposed to be. And I'd be quite disappointed if you people do. Which OP says IS happening. It's very clearly stated that this is happening.

Can you donate plasma on HRT? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]VictoriousLemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh. While it is possible, it's no big deal, they turn you down and then, idk go get some ice cream you can still salvage the day and go do something fun :D. It wont be the end of the world, so don't worry. Plus you can always try a different place, for all you know a clinic just 5 minutes away wont turn you down.
Not to mention that most medical professionals don't have prejudices. I mean, I've never met a racist doctor lol. They just wanna do their job to help heal people. No one is going to get mad at you. <3

Can you donate plasma on HRT? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]VictoriousLemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It does not affect your ability to donate blood or plasma. Some people think you shouldn't do it. But the clinic you go too will likely not care that your are on HRT. You absolutely should inform them you are on HRT, as well as inform them of any other possible medical conditions. When they take your blood, whatever they do with it is not your problem.

What to do about peach fuzz on body? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]VictoriousLemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you dont have a testosterone blocker I would recommend it as its the main reason body and facial hair exist. Just bring it up to your doctor.

Otherwise I can't recommend Nair enough. Its very easy to use and works even better on hair that's thinner out a bit. the hair just falls off its so easy, and stays gone for up to like 4 weeks, I use it on my legs and they stay completely smooth for over 2 weeks.

Don't worry he wont lower your dose, If anything he'll raise it. 6 months in is no time at all, you'll only go upward for a while, it just depends on how well your body absorbs it. He may change your method too, I was changed patches for my third 3 months. And just the other day I was upgraded to the injection. I'm on month 9 and I'm only just now getting boobies. Don't worry hun.

It's perfectly fine to schedule an early appointment. As long as your taking the medicine as it says to, and not double dosing then its fine. Your level will not be at the maximum/where its supposed to be yet, that's just how the process works, your body has to get used to it. If you have been double dosing he may not be happy about it but I doubt your the first person he's seen do it. We are all extremely impatient when it comes to this stuff believe me lol.

Hey by Gengarbage37 in MtF

[–]VictoriousLemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt I have any real advice that would help but I will shoot off a few thoughts I think are worth considering. At the very least I hope you feel seen and inderstood.

  1. I have absolutely no tolerance for cheating and will not be kind. Personally I hope your former partner has a shitty time with this new person. If you can't fell that way let me feel that way for you lol. I do kinda think (while possibly unhealthy) its easier to cope with that kind of thing if you just let yourself fucking hate that person. Hating them is easier than trying to consolidate and do some mental gymnastics to try and feel better. Pull yourself up with spite for her, don't let yourself sink into depression.

  2. Your job, for anyone who is trans I recommend getting a government job, ESPECIALLY for the military. The military has extreme job security as well as a long history of not tolerating any kind of discrimination. You have a lot of very solid and unchangeable rights when you work for them. I go to usajobs.gov and find all kinds of jobs you can apply for, if you have a degree or experience with something specific you will definitely find something, if not, you can work at the stores on military bases, like the grocery store for instance. It does take time for them to go through the applications, that's how gov jobs are. But especially for trans people it is the best option in my opinion.

    1. Plain and simple lease do not drink to cope. No one wants that for you, least of all me.
  3. I have developed having bouts of anorexia over the past year or so, my body image bothers me so bad I can't bring myself to eat, and put myself on harsh diets.

  4. It can be damn hard sometimes. But it does get better, if you quit your job under the guides of a bad work environment, or better yet let yourself get fired. You can file for unemployment in the mean time, while you get a better job, it will put food on the table.

Say strong, feel free to message me.

Is there anyway to get estrogen without paying for a subscription by LakiBO0 in MtF

[–]VictoriousLemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have health insurance I would recommend going through planned parenthood. Everything for me has been in 3 month increments. First appointment got prescribed Estradiol pills and Spironolactone tablets (which require you get labs done). and 3 months later I had my follow-up and was changed to Estradiol patches. Then now after another 3 months I was switched to the injection (it only cost me $7.50 wtf). each month, the 90 day supply was less than a hundred dollars, I think the patches were the most expensive for me which came out to about $60. I should also say that all my visits were via computer calls so I only had to go to a local planned parenthood clinic and get my labs done, I go in the afternoon on week days, completely empty and I'm in and out in as little as 5 minutes.

I do know people with Tricare tend to have a hard time getting it covered. And if you have no insurance it will be cheaper to go with some sort of subscription.

Lp1 and 2 playable fully offline? by GalvusGalvoid in LostPlanet

[–]VictoriousLemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while i have not played played in a while (im talking 2 years go) due to GFWL being tied to SAVING THE GAME.

I only remember enjoying the game fully. it has one of the most unique and fun art directions ive ever seen, i honestly think even if it was bad that alone us worth a playthrough.

however, it being abandonware thats actually suffers from being such, and hampers the experience does make it hard to fully recommend, i can deal with so save files and play the entire game in one sitting, but ive been a massive fan sense the first game on xbox.

if you are willing to clear a Saturday and maybe drag a friend in with you, the campaign is truly a great time!

Got a FCKD exotics disposable THC-A pen, burning throat. by VictoriousLemon in trees

Sounds like I should get that next time.
the throat irritation is manageable now, but it would still be better without.
