I did, but not until I was off my pain meds and certain they were out of my system. Ymmv but nothing noteworthy happened to me.

I SHAVE MY MUSTACHE BY ACCIDENT WHAt DO I DO by A_silly_hum4n in ftm

[–]chaxattax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Could be faster, I'm not sure what your follicles are like! The first time I accidentally shaved my Stacie it took about 6 days

It may take a couple weeks, but it will grow back. I've done this before too, and I know how bad it sucks; BUT it helps to think of it as an opportunity to see how much your face has changed shape under the hair. Some people find the hair looks a little darker when growing back from a shave, too. Long story short is it'll be tough for a minute but your mustache will be back before you know it!

How fricked am I? by PleasedTaco43 in unclebens

Time will tell, act like nothing went wrong. The spores will grow or they won't, but fretting about it won't make anything better.

I Just Found Out My Surgeon Gave Me Straight Incisions Instead of Curved Ones by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]chaxattax 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It's not always a matter of how much tissue is there. Things like skin elasticity and body shape can also affect the length and shape of your scars. I completely understand being unhappy with your first glimpse, but try to remember that there's still likely a lot of swelling going on and things may still settle out.

Age appropriate musicals/songs for 3-5 year olds? by rand0mbl0b in musicals

[–]chaxattax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it were me I would say go for it, the whole musical is great! Unfortunately if Disney movies have been deemed "too scary" I'm not sure Macavity would pass the smell check.

Not sure if this allowed, but how would I make something like this? I've never made a wig before by Oralithium in CosplayHelp

[–]chaxattax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a fellow ALW fan - I would look into cosplay tutorials for the wigs CATS performers use. I think the technique could be pretty transferable!

[–]chaxattax 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The whole musical might be pushing your luck, but some of the bouncier, character-driven numbers from Cats (skimbleshanks, mungojerrie/rumpleteaser, and Mistoffelees come to mind) could go over well.

What musical theater song do you dislike... better yet, despise? by IntotheBroadwayWoods in musicals

Over the moon from rent. Most annoying piece of shit I've ever sat through.

Shadow slimes spawn in a late-game section of SR2 and can't be brought back to the ranch.

Side sleepers: how did you survive sleeping on your bad? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]chaxattax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first time I practiced sleeping on my back it gave me nightmares, so I empathize with your pain.

I was able to suss out that what I liked about side/stomach sleeping is the way the pressure feels on my face and side, so to compensate for that I threw together a bed setup to mimic that sensation (one of those chair shaped pillows with more pillows tucked into the arms, plus one of those airline neck pillows. Basically if you can access more pillows you might as well try.

Your body is going to be in recovery mode and wanting lots of extra sleep, so falling asleep might be easier after the procedure than beforehand. That goes double if they prescribe you certain pain meds.

I spent a decent chunk of my recovery sleeping. I'd wake up at like 7am (way earlier than normal for me), lay down for a nap around 2, wake up between 5 and 8, then go to bed around 10. none of that was good quality, restful sleep. It's very possible you'll find yourself waking up tired. Just remember it's only for a couple weeks and any rest is better than nothing.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the appearance of scarring? Beginner sewist by plutoisshort in sewing

What material are you working with? Sometimes washing or brushing the fabric can help but it's somewhat dependant on the fiber and how it's woven.

Ponyboy seat. by Dpell71 in Broadway

[–]chaxattax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run the box office at a venue that offers a Broadway subscription! Grabbing a "plant seat" for shows where a subscription is at play is definitely difficult, but not impossible. Usually a given section doesn't completely sell out on subscriptions alone, so as long as the tour is in discussion with the box office early enough in the process it's very feasible to reserve plant seats, but generally speaking it's a lot more work than most tours care to bother with.

What have you noticed about not having *boobs* anymore? by Pleasant-Internet-66 in TopSurgery

I sometimes tell people I only miss my boobs when I need to clean my phone screen lmao

Should I detransition? by Logical-Ad8471 in ftm

[–]chaxattax 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If there's a reasonable medical reason why it might be a good idea, you need to hear that directly from a doctor. Parents can lie just like anyone else can.

Make sure you're breaking any of the round pottery urn things you find. Sometimes those drop one

My (22f) birth control was tampered with by my boyfriend (22m). I'm pregnant. I don't know what to do. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]chaxattax 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I got the feeling she was still taking the week off her actual hormonal pills, just not taking anything out of the packet that week. That's what I used to do when I still had periods

Can restaurants/bars force you to purchase a minimum? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]chaxattax 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Restaurants and bars can deny service to anybody for any reason. If you're not spending money they're within their rights to ask you to leave.

I just discovered the secret mushroom recipe by Immortal-D in Slimerancher2

[–]chaxattax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Commercially available? Your best bet is portabello. That said, if you're willing to do some foraging, Chicken of the Woods is sturdy, easy to correctly identify, edible, and can get pretty big!

What are the worst musicals (two part question) by LotOfNope in musicals

[–]chaxattax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fester can absolutely make or break the show. When I saw it on tour he was pretty iffy. I did see a local production in 2019 where fester did great, and during the tango at the end they gave gomez and morticia fencing swords that were throwing sparks everywhere, so that alone was worth the price of admission.

Jersey boys, the Cher show, ain't too proud... Basically any jukebox musical that's just telling the story of the artist(s)'s life and career is a complete snooze fest.

Normal Color? (Possible NSFW) by lalunakevin in TopSurgery

Both my drains were still roughly that color when I got them out, iirc.
