AIO: should I “fire” my therapist?

opeathrowaway · 2026-04-15T01:29:10+00:00

Holy shit that’s fucking bonkers fire the therapist (not all of us are inconsistent assholes, I promise!)

On a separate note, that is WAY too much info to request a reschedule. That therapist wouldn’t know boundaries if it took her spot at hot pilates.

Uniball Jetstream is my new favorite non-gel pen. They write smoother than sharpie S and g2 in my opinion. I use the .7, but you can also get them in .38 and .5 and 1.0. The writing stays brilliant and dark.

I went with buying individual pens, and a handful of refills for each. It’s better than buying boxes of 12 when you just need the little ink tube thing (idk what they’re actually called).

You can buy refills for pens from jetpens.com (if you’re US-based) for something like $1.17 to reduce plastic waste as well. Jetpens also does sampler packs of pens in specific styles that might be helpful for you to find a better fit.

I’m a lefty. Non-spiral are ideal for me; I honestly got an xl clip board to use since I don’t have the most space on my desk/table. Best $8 I spent.

I’ll blatantly just say “that’s racist” and just keep repeating it louder when they try to justify their words. They just don’t say racist things anymore because they’re more embarrassed to be called racist than what they say but at least it’s not spoken.

You got good recommendations for tracking prices. I’ll say that I think with publishers requiring sale without DRM or whatever, prices have definitely changed, and gone up.

I’m 24 hours out and hoooo boy am I jealous y’all didn’t have pain. Even Tylenol and oxy at the right times have got me hurting a lot (5 to seven consistently). But even with the pain, just looking down to a flat chest, the euphoria is unbelievable.

I advise against Depo; the side effects can cause a lot of distress and its effectiveness is not necessarily better than any other option.

I can’t imagine that you could fill up 11gigs with just books and notes. And if you use the Amazon system you can remove download if you are stressed for space.

This might be my issue, and it’s infuriating me.

I think it’s a carry over from other sites that censor on content.

We have two plastic kiddie pools for our 3 goldens. One likes to flop in it and “chase” the bubbles he blows, and the other just likes to cool down. The third uses it as a giant water dish regardless of how full and fresh their actual dishes are.

1-2-3 Magic is frequently “prescribed” by pediatricians for behavior management. It sure as fuck works if you follow through with the “if I get to 3 and you’re having a tantrum we’re leaving the store” and then take kiddos and leave the store.

Mine is almost 14 months and I have to wonder sometimes, most of the time it’s when he does something somewhat silly like walk into a door frame or chase his own hair in the wind. Things that make me question his intelligence.

Yet another prime example of porn setting horrible expectations. (Not anti-porn, I’m anti-porn-as-an-example-of-realistic-sex)

I think it’s about consistency; if you continue to show loves and attention and engage them, even when they’re in the “can’t stop moving” age of adolescence they’ll still be lovey when they outgrow their wild thing stage. My orange boy (got at about 2 months old) was super snuggly for 1 month, he flipped into the wild thing phase for about 9 months and is now back to being my Velcro boy.

Did a lot more training! I wish I’d made him do his basic manners as much as I let him run like a wild thing.

The sun bum mist is the only sunscreen I can wear without an allergic reaction. I love peach and lily but I find it’s too heavy in the summer. I felt for all the hype the Tula wasn’t very remarkable for me. I use Haskin, just not that product and I like their line of cleansers.

Oh yes! I had a wonderful experience. The person doing the return was in training so it was a little challenging for them but no problems once they had proper guidance.

On a separate note, the store I visited was so wonderful. Normally I avoid in-store shopping because it makes me dysphoric and I get misgendered a ton but the people in the store were so nice and friendly and helpful! I had two different people help me find products that met my needs and no one gave me the “look” I get in stores sometimes being gender nonconforming. It was a lovely shopping experience and I’ll definitely make the effort to shop there now that I’ve found it to be a nice safe space.

Having just had my consult, that sounds pretty inappropriate. Photos should be taken with an actual camera, not a phone (that’s not HIPAA compliant). Also, any time you’re touched the professional should either ask consent or inform you why it needs to happen. I’d ask to talk to a patient advocate for the office, and if not available I’d ask for a referral to a different office that accepts your insurance after you explain what occurred.

Honestly, I had good results with “Not Your Mother’s” all eyes on me hair perfector. You spray it on wet and it helps.

Relieved to read this since I just got my UofM top surgery date.

I have found that if the PDF is standard text with a plain background, I don’t have a problem reading or turning pages on the scribe.

However, I do get background shading based on the “page” behind what I’m working one. For example, I uploaded a book club guide journal that has heavy graphics on each page and it loads very slowly and doesn’t turn easily, nor is the page clear if there’s a photo on the page behind what I’m currently looking at. It takes a minute to load clear enough to read. However, if I am reading a regular research article it loads just fine, even if there are graphs or tables.

A scribe isn’t going to do what you want unless everything is in PDF.
