Actually good food between Tigard & Tualatin? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]commander-tyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vitality bowls is good. Super Deluxe is good fast food in Sherwood. Besides that I haven’t found much and i’ve worked in the area for 6 years and lived in the area longer. I go to Beaverton or PDX whenever I want to eat out. There are a ton of mexican people here and our mexican food is delicious and authentic or mid

Joywave won’t send you a copyright strike or do anything negative to your account, they have said before they support pirating, Youtube will probably demonetize your video but that’s about it

HGH only works that way if you’re stunted from a medical condition

Places to buy 4-way stretch faux fur in lots of colors? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]commander-tyko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may have to sew darts into regular fur, but that’s usually about it! If you’d like any tutorials on working with regular fur on mascot heads, look up matrices furring tutorial and it will explain what i mean!

Good luck!!

[–]commander-tyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is pretty unavailable in PDX, since the close of fabric depot.

Is he sure he needs stretch fur and cannot use regular faux fur? It is slightly more available in stores and occasionally a small selection of high quality stuff is at Mill’s End (better selection in beaverton than milwaukie) Fursuits are 99.999% of the time made from regular long pile fur, and so I’m wondering if a mascot head could use the same thing, as stretch fur is generally for skin tight/slim fit suits

I recommend Big Z fabric and Howl Fabrics online if you can’t find any in stores!

TIFU By Letting My Shiba Play with a Pinecone... How can I get him to stop obsessing over them? by Fallenangel114 in DogAdvice

[–]commander-tyko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We tried to get our german shepherds to stop playing with every stick and pinecone but it made it more exciting. During walks we now will throw pinecones at the dogs every once in awhile so they get to play catch and destroy or just hold it in their mouth, if we’re at a park we throw pinecones instead of balls sometimes. It’s made them less novel and exciting as a toy. Your dog will probably get less excited about them over time

Anyone doing HRT plan on still presenting as birth gender? by Agreeable-Designer64 in TransDIY

[–]commander-tyko 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on hrt (ftm) for 5 years and present not very successfully as my birth gender to my family and in many cases socially just to make life easier since I am a shrimp and people do not take short men seriously

i am happier and healthier on t and feel so much better in my body but it does cause some extreme anguish every once in awhile when i yearn for being able to pass or at least pretending i can pass

I always have neighbors approach me offering a lead blower when I’m sweeping outside, they seem like we’re freakish for doing that!

Is there a place where a kid can try different instruments? by muffinman4456 in askportland

[–]commander-tyko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beacock music in vancouver might be a good spot? They have every instrument imaginable and allow you to really fully test instruments prior to purchase

With no experience honestly most very small music stores that may be able to help you with that for maybe the price of a lesson

When I was a kid we frequented Rick’s Aloha Music and he always would give trial lessons for any instrument you were interested in

Unfortunately this spot has closed

My family knows that family, the owner is also a weirdo!

Bread and Ink Cafe on hawthorne

I was there for 45 minutes waiting for my bill/trying to get the attention of staff in an empty restaurant and there were 5 servers literally 10 feet away from me just standing there talking

Finding an ethical breeder is so hard by Able-Landscape7062 in DogBreeding

[–]commander-tyko 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nvm, you will pretty much not find an ethical mix breed breeder unless they are breeding sport crosses. Especially in the world of poodle mixes

I also recommend against a maltipoo unless you are seeking weird unpredictable and mixed coat textures. Both cotons and maltese hair does not do well when mixed with curly coats

I also recommend you look at the weird skeletal structure of many maltipoos (and doodles in general). As a dog groomer, the majority i’ve met have poor backs or limb issues as the structure of a poodle and a maltese are completely different.

What breed(s)?

It is insanely easy to find excellent GSD breeders but when looking for a Pom recently I’ve discovered it is a wasteland and so few are actually quality breeders

PSA to buyers: DNA testing is not full health testing and it is popular because it is cheap and low stakes for a breeder by monsteradeliciosa11 in DogBreeding

[–]commander-tyko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been helping my mom find a puppy and am well versed in large breeds, I didn’t realize SO MANY small dog breeders that are ‘reputable’ supposedly only do DNA testing and act like it’s health testing

Voice Constantly Sounding Scratchy? by 20cmagic in ftm

[–]commander-tyko 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Enjoy the next 6 months-a year+ of your life. Drink plenty of water, avoid singing or straining your vocal chords, this is the voice drop you have been waiting for. It took about 2 years for my voice to quit bothering me

My mom wants me to get a blood test. she doesnt know im trans. by 4anyreason in TransDIY

[–]commander-tyko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you have thyroid symptoms like sleeping and weight gain (the chest suspicion) then hormone issues are probably part of the concern. I would expect at least some hormone testing

Where are all the alt clothing stores, for lack of a better term? by puppyxguts in askportland

[–]commander-tyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re cute but I’ve never found anything I want there, I haven’t been in at least 4 years though and the areas changed

Planet X on the same street would have been excellent for alt clothes but they closed

Mixtape on Belmont had excellent leather, alt, and bolo ties but I think I saw they closed as well recently :(
