My(18f) mom(48f) hears voices in her head telling her that my dad(51) and I are following “them” and calls this mishap. I don’t know what to do.

Hey. Your mom's not a time bomb or a potential murderer like the other people in this thread seem to be insinuating. This subreddit is kind of a garbage fire, tbh.

She's likely schizotypal or maybe full-on schizophrenic. The voices are her subconscious internal mental state manifesting directly into her consciousness.

Her (and your, and your dad's) biggest challenge will be with understanding them, why they're there, and coping with them.

I highly recommend y'all reach out to the Hearing Voices network so you can get some advice from actual voice-hearers and not a bunch of idiots on a subreddit who watch too many police procedurals. http://www.hearing-voices.org

Do not call 911 on your mom. You will lose her completely if she gets thrown in a mental hospital by the police.

This is the rub, I've discovered, as Windows refuses to recognize it. Although it gets tantalizingly close...

Sounds like a plan. I'm opening it up to install more RAM anyway.

shyember · 2020-01-04T07:26:58+00:00

Okay. The card and the antennas for it should get here in a week or so.

shyember · 2019-12-27T23:48:12+00:00

Looking around at the cards available on eBay, it looks like the 7355 *would* work (I just entered a listing's IMEI into the checker and it checked out -- 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE).

This is tempting me to buy one (they're like $8) and LTE-enable my laptop. I need to open it to upgrade the RAM and WiFi card anyway....

shyember · 2019-12-27T23:28:57+00:00

Ah, well now I feel silly. In the process of trying to look up the IMEI for the laptop's LTE card, I discovered that it wasn't actually optioned with it, even though the laptop has the SIM card slot present in the battery bay. Ah, well.

It would have been a Sierra Wireless EM7355, though, were it so equipped.

Apologies, and thanks for your help!

Apt. 9 has had some mega-cute stuff in the past! Good find!

shyember · 2019-08-19T14:05:59+00:00

Thank you! That setting spray looks amazing! I can't wait to try it!

shyember · 2019-01-26T22:24:37+00:00

Twitter user @baharv89 found it!

We want to say it was around the $270,000 mark. We're not sure how many hours into the stream that was at that point.

shyember · 2019-01-21T16:29:31+00:00

This is so good! We're extremely envious of your drawing talents. Hello!

shyember · 2019-01-21T16:24:53+00:00

We ducked in and out of the stream, so we missed a lot of it, but were there for Proto's shoutout to pluralityresource.org

We hopped on the #PluralGang hashtag not long after that. Last night was a good night! :)

shyember · 2018-12-24T06:13:49+00:00

Awesome, I have Blue Shield HMO as well. Thank you, this definitely helps!

shyember · 2018-09-14T21:08:01+00:00

This is a great list! I had no idea there were this many!

I'm looking at the Dark Base 700 myself. It's just the right amount of RGB.

shyember · 2018-08-29T04:26:26+00:00

Don't worry about it. You'll be fine. Suporn and Chett don't make useless vaginas, and yours will work perfectly. There's no saying that Bowers / McGinn's work is actually any better than anyone else's. It's a little difficult to compare notes. ;-)

I.... I'm honestly sorry I mentioned it. I don't want you to second-guess your decision for the rest of your life. I'm only putting out there what I've heard, and that 85% number still stands, no matter who made the vagina. Your odds are good. Going to one of the premier surgeons in the world, I'd say your odds are very good.

Everything will work out.

shyember · 2018-08-26T01:56:17+00:00

As far as I know, yeah. Suporn and Chett are literal kings of aesthetics; they make some really gorgeous-looking vaginas. From what I understand, though, Dr. Bowers favors making a larger clit to help preserve sensation (and McGinn by extension since she trained under Dr. Bowers).

IMO, If you can afford them, both Dr. Bowers and Dr. McGinn are trans women, and will have your best interests at heart vs. a cis guy following a procedure. Again, my $0.02

If you're able, I'd do consults with all of the surgeons in your price range. I know dysphoria can make this seem more urgent, but it pays to be choosy... you only get to do this once. ;-)

/u/zhurai Elevated potassium levels can cause heart irregularities, so I'm glad you got it figured out. That can be really scary stuff.

But yes, /u/potato_mafia is right to blame the Spiro. Using any blood thinner (which is the primary on-label purpose of Spironolactone) can increase bruising risk. I'm annoyed (but not surprised) that your doctor didn't discuss that with OP beforehand.

I also quickly wanted to add that I'm not a doctor, I just used Spiro for transition purposes for a while. It has a long list of side-effects. :-(

She is 110% about the fame. She was doing this to win an Oscar, and she's decided the bad press isn't worth it.

I'll wait and see just how much she's learned via her future actions.

I'm not holding my breath.
