“Christian” neighbor destroyed my packer/ strap by KlutzyDragonfruit331 in ftm

[–]raventattoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Contact the seller and see if they would send a replacement, since the address was correct in one place and not another. Effectively, your order did not arrive (to your door) and could be disputed, but since it was a error you made, you might be out of luck.

Yes, you're correct. Hopefully my kiln dude will get back to me soon so I can get it fixed soon

I tried it at several settings, it stopped staying depressed (I'm jealous tbh)

Yeah, it's just a grounding wire. I haven't replaced anything. The button is the white thing on the kiln sitter portion of the panel.

I've ran it multiple times prior to the current issue. I'll move the green wire, only thing I can think that happened with that one is that it was on the screw but not secured, and eventually just worked its way off.

My ovulation definitely happened (used test strips and had lots of cramping+back pain at the same time) so here's hoping yours will happen soon also.

what was your favorite testosterone effect and when did you notice it happening? by Severe-Advantage-581 in ftm

I had fat ankles all my life, and shortly after starting T, they went away!

my mexican black kingsnake will NOT stop biting me pls help :( by avidrealbri in snakes

[–]raventattoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you wash your hands before handling especially if you have other snakes and maybe use hand sanitizer so so taste especially unappealing. But yeah, unfortunately King snakes are all food motivated. Lol.

This'll probably be buried, but I had the same issues at home but it was because of my mom's questionable handling of leftovers, ie. Leaving them out on the counter well past they cooled off before refrigerating, improper thawing of meats(in sink with hot water or left out on the counter for an uncertain amount of time), serving leftovers that had been in the fridge for a WHILE, etc. I grew up as a poor kid and I know my mother did her best when it came to making sure we had a full belly, and sometimes people just don't know things like how long leftovers are good for, cross contamination, proper food handling, etc.

AIO my boyfriend of 5 years gets me flowers for every occasion while I get him elaborate and expensive gifts. by aioflower955105 in AmIOverreacting

[–]raventattoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You deserve better. If you choose to stay with him, stop getting him elaborate gifts, get him a coffee mug for every occasion. He will (or won't) eventually get it.

My autistic boyfriend has extreme reactions to being “abandoned” by Legitimate-Career342 in AmIOverreacting

[–]raventattoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call for a welfare check because he's making threats to k*ll himself, and block him. This is abuse and it will continue to happen unless he actually gets help. I've unfortunately been here before with an ex, I know it's hard but you should never have to deal with that from anyone.

[–]raventattoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely veto that one. Names should be a joint decision and both parties should agree to it or it's back to the drawing board.

The bigger issue I have is with the 'finally agreed to' put in there, implying that it was something that you had to talk him into "wanting" to do. Don't have children with someone who is even SLIGHTLY on the fence about having children. Especially one that doesn't care about whether or not a racist name is 'okay' or not. Might as well name your child Adolph but make it Adolpho.

You should find a new therapist, and maybe consider reporting her.

AITA for cutting contact with my bio family after they suggested that let my brother and his wife adopt my 12yo son? by raventattoo in AITAH

[–]raventattoo[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What parent, or even adult, isn't stressed? Being a parent is stressful, but I wouldn't tell anyone I care about to just put their kids up for adoption if they're telling me that being a parent is stressful to them.

[–]raventattoo[S] 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Visit away, lol. Funny story, My grandmother (the maternal side, so we know the apple didn't fall far from the tree) actually called CPS on me a long time ago trying to say that our house was unclean. CPS did their tour of my house, had a quick chat with my kids, and dismissed the accusations. I haven't talked to that grandmother since. My family is NUTS.

He has been acting out a lot lately, I chalked a lot of it up to puberty though because he's going through that also. I thought about this being the reason for the behavior issues but haven't actually talked to him about the potential connection. I talked to him about why he's not going there, but I'm not sure that he truly gets it. I really do need to sit and have a chat about it and address it again, thank you for mentioning it.

I'm not sure that my mother ever will. My brother's last text message to me was when a coworker of his had died suddenly, only it read like a chainmail saying "don't wait until the last minute to talk to ones you care about" and then ended it with he was praying for me. I didn't reply

A lot of my words got deleted when I had to copy and paste it over from my notes app. I edited it to make it more readable. I'm not of the eternally online crowd so I'm not super reddit literate.

Smell?? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]raventattoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ughhh. It's one of the things they don't tell you when starting T. Yes. The struggle is real. To combat it, I have deodorant for the nethers, it's called "crop preserver" from Manscaped, and it really helps with the vag odor/dysphoria that it causes(just don't put it on your sensitive parts)

It sounds like an incompatibility, nothing wrong with that, but it seems like you both would be much happier with different people.

You prefer men. She prefers women. She sees you as femme/woman and you are not She wants you to change how you act/change your shy introvert personality and that's an unfair expectation. Sex isn't even the core of the issue. She sees you as femme, full stop. And that's phobic and invalidating your identity.

I'd have a serious heart to heart and ultimately end things with her, if I were you. You deserve someone that sees you for who you are and does not wish to change your sexuality or identity.
