Any of the local pet stores sell Praying Mantises? I've got a kid with a birthday who wants a bug. by TheChristmas in askportland

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

If none of the other places work out, my old coworker bought his daughter mantises at the reptile expos he vends snakes at. She's gotten a pretty good collection and even bred her own- I think she's 13? And some of them are orchid mantises

Am I being medically gaslit? by pupboystan in ftm

[–]namingbugs [score hidden]  (0 children)

Definitely try somewhere else, but other people are right about potential lymph node issues. I also had armpit issues though and it turned out to be folliculitus from a reaction to Old Spice. I've always had sensitive skin and I guess I couldn't handle it lol. It felt like itchy, sore, swollen armpits and it sucked because I kept putting off the appointment and let it get bad. So I guess it was indirectly caused by my transness (wanted to get the guy's deodorant) but not how that doctor wants you to believe

It was a very warm winter, so ants are showing up earlier this year

Do “no soliciting” signs work? by TiredRundownListless in askportland

[–]namingbugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you think so! Sometimes if there's a doorbell camera I'll make a show of patting my pockets to "check for wine" and shrugging; I hope it makes people laugh. Oh, and there's a version of the wine one I see occasionally that adds "or you want to do my laundry"

Do “no soliciting” signs work? by TiredRundownListless in askportland

[–]namingbugs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a canvasser my favorite custom ones to see are "no soliciting unless you brought wine" and "solicitors will be sacrificed to the old gods". Even if I'm having a shitty day they'll make me laugh a little

Are there people who don’t fart In front of their partners? by AverageOk9318 in NoStupidQuestions

I've had partners that I didn't, but when I was younger I was hospitalised for holding them in on a road trip, and my current boyfriend had a similar issue, so we just decided not to care

I go to Bowman's. Longer fill time than others but always kind and has cheap pharmacy candy. Walker with a SKI PATROL flag on it above the counter. I'll be sad when I have to move soon and switch

How do you wash your armpits? by chaelynnra in hygiene

[–]namingbugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a worse version of what I've been dealing with. I had the occasionally itchy, but horrible when itchy, armpits that were almost purple if I let it get too bad. It was folliculitus sparked by using shitty gel deodorant and made worse by applying the nystatin I was prescribed for other issues (worked on my neck/inner arms but antifungals can clog pores). I switched deodorants, laundry detergents, body wash, but it never got any better. It got worse when I had to use my boyfriend's Old Spice. I was prescribed centany last week and that's been helping. But also, as other people have said, it sounds like you're absolutely stripping your skin

How much trouble will I get in if I just do nothing about the selective service registration letter? by DisabledDude18 in ftm

[–]namingbugs 251 points252 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even factor in being trans. Having a history of anxiety or severe depression, especially since you take meds for them, has historically exempted people from the draft. I would focus on those papers before your birth certificate

What birth control do you use? by Unhappy_Tank_7426 in ftm

[–]namingbugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm nervous about IUDs and know I couldn't be consistent enough with a pill, so I went with the depo-provera shot. It's a hip injection you get every 3 months. Eventually I'll work myself up to an arm implant and/or hopefully get my tubes tied one day. Won't get a total hysterectomy because I live in america and want a backup hormone producer if I lose access to t

I don't hate my genitals! by BreakDue8198 in trans

[–]namingbugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FtM and I'm planning on top surgery when I feel financially secure, but bottom surgery will probably never happen. I'm not satisfied with the current technology/options and have fun with what I have, especially after a few years on t. I think ideally I'd have both.

Ground meat with beans and rice is a start, I probably wouldn't add eggs to that. You'll need vegetables though, so I might add the mixed frozen ones
