Dear random Circle K lady 🙏

Dear random Circle K lady 🙏

You will never know how much you meant to me. I was still half asleep when I stumbled in for caffeine at 4 in the afternoon before taking my kids to a thing they had been looking forward to. I barely had my voice on, I mumbled a thank you to you, and you complimented my top and nails and gendered me correctly.

That was the first time I've ever been correctly gendered in public, especially by a stranger. It hit me before I made it to the doors, but we were in too much of a hurry to turn back, and I don't know what I would have said if I had. Nonetheless, may your pillow always be cool. I love you, beautiful stranger. 🥹🥹🥹

I wasn't allowed to watch Xmen growing up

I'm finally going back and watching the show from the 90s, and I was really impressed by the way they animated Sabretooth's inner torment while Charles was reading his mind.

"Trained from birth to skip foreplay"

Every time I get to S2E7 I just get... 😬😬😬

Whoever wrote that, and whoever approved it, were NOT paying attention to what they were doing.

My rabbit hunting setup is finally ready to go

Pistol crossbow upgraded with a red dot sight and the arm from a Vlad Steambow that is sold as 90 lbs but I was assured by someone on here that they commonly test out at more like 115. Along with that I have 15 inch normal diameter crossbow bolts and fixed 2 blade broadheads to match the 2 vaned bolts.

I am new to hunting, and disabled in ways that makes a crossbow much more feasible than my regular bow out in the field. I have a larger crossbow that I might try to use for turkey later on, but it would obliterate a rabbit. All my research said that a mini crossbow bolt wasn't enough to guarantee an ethical kill though, so here I am.

S4 E2 is basically just a pg13 Event Horizon

Which I'm not mad at at all, it's an incredible movie, if you haven't seen it, it holds up remarkably well!

Edit: Shit, maybe it deserves a hard R too, even if it still doesn't really reach Event Horizon levels

They should make a new animated Star Trek show aimed at adults all about Division 12

Live action could be fine too, but I think doing Division 12 in the style of Lower Decks would be perfect.

I made roasted red pepper and tomato soup :3

Everything that went into it got roasted, the peppers tomatoes garlic and onions and also all of the veggies and chicken that went into the stock that I homemade that formed the liquid base - I guess I didn't roast the basil parmesan butter or heavy cream, but I think I can get away with calling it a fully roasted soup.

Where do you buy shoes?

I'm at the point of needing a couple of new pairs, one for every day and one for hiking, where can I find ones that aren't too masculine that will fit me? I wear I think a size 10 or 11 these days in men's, wide.

Trying to find replacement limbs for a nonstandard bow

The distance from center to center between the holes appears to be 5.6 cm, and they meet in an unusual shape. I'm nearly ready to give up on it and just wait till I can buy a replacement, whenever that is.

Edit: Thanks, that was fast! Now I need to decide if I should roll the dice on another pair of limbs or just bite the bullet and buy a new riser for the limbs I already got, instead of returning them. It would be so much easier if my current riser wasn't infinitely prettier lol

I did a thing that required a lot of executive function

To be fair, it involved my new/old regained hyperfixation special interest. I was changing out the iron sights on my hand crossbow for a red dot sight, and that meant removing the front sight that had been built into the bow. Doing that would have left a screw sticking out one side, so I needed a shorter screw in the same diameter, along with nuts and washers, and I needed them to be black instead of the silver they came in.

The hardware store where I got the screws did not have the washers, I had to go to another one on the other side of town, after the next one also didn't have them. I didn't think of buying the spray paint at a hardware store, but if I had I probably still would have gone to Walmart for the employee discount. I got them painted yesterday and put it all together last night, and I'm so happy with it, it came out perfect.

It amused me at one point thinking how easy all that would have been for a neurotypical person. I'm not even a handy hardware store kind of girl, I had to get help to find the right things at both places, and modifying something like this is almost completely new to me. I'm really proud of myself for getting it done and making it come out the way I wanted it to.

I also found a nice stick by the river yesterday like my wife has been wanting and sawed it off and removed the excess limbs. I'm proud of that too.

Good morning, I'm trying to help out a new friend

She is just starting her transition and really overwhelmed and I offered to help her find a sliding scale or even free clinic that is ideally explicitly lgbtq friendly, in the Fort Worth area. Would anyone be willing to help us out?

Thanks for your time 🙏

My favorite safe food is making me sick 😭😭

It is chili that I make at home with turkey and veggies and beans, and I *think* what's happening is that it's causing my partially paralyzed intestines to start moving a bit which always causes me a great deal of pain, but usually my meds confine that pain to a particular part of the day.

I *think* that means that I can still safely eat it for dinner, followed by my meds, and my normal pain period, instead of eating it for breakfast as has become my habit. Time to experiment I guess, I just made a HUGE batch and no one else in the family likes it as much as me, they only eat it occasionally lol.

I think I hit a previous hole lol

The bolt finished literally flush with the Block, I can't imagine it could have happened any other way. Probably a broadhead hole for the fletching to slide in like that. It may be time to switch up my aim a bit. 😅

Back at the end of May, I injured myself stepping off a couch

I landed wrong on the edge of my left foot, twisted it, tried to catch myself, and twisted my right knee. I already knew I had sprained my knee, appropriate medical care was taken and it healed fine. It took them 6 weeks to get me in for an MRI, and I just got the results back.

On the left, I sprained my ankle in three places, one mild and two severe, plus another sprain in my foot along with a torn tendon, a hairline fracture, and a metatarsal that no longer sits where it should. You'd think the X-ray would have shown at least some of that.

That day I was getting ready to take the kids to see Shrek the Musical, for which I had already bought tickets. We went anyway, and now I'm even more fucking proud of myself lol

Omg Pokemon has been so much better at getting my daughter to practice her reading than the many many books we've gotten

I have to help her a bit, but less and less as she goes, I can literally see her improving daily. My son practically learned from watching subtitles. Technology really can help this process too, not just hinder it! Both of them entered/are entering first grade as fluent readers, and I did very little actually teaching them to read, I've mostly just read to them - getting them to practice with books is like pulling teeth, but I make them do that too of course. It's just so much easier now that they've learned to read through other sources.

Gun enthusiasts live in a fantasy

I'm sure this can't possibly describe all of them, but so, so many that I've seen believe they're always on the verge of being attacked by an assailant also armed with a gun. Literally, most of them treat it as inevitable that everyone will be attacked by a gun-wielding intruder.

I've lived a handful of decades now and been in all sorts of violent situations, and a gun was only ever involved once. I also lived in areas like parts of Oakland and the San Francisco tenderloin. The one time I ever saw a gun, I handed over the cash in my wallet and that was the end of the interaction. Meanwhile I see them training like they're all planning on being John Wick. It's basically really expensive LARPing.

I got new bolts for my hand crossbow and omG they make me happy ☺️☺️☺️

Archers are snobs, and apparently these are more like firearms to them. Anyway, the old bolts like I've always had hurt to get shot with, but these new ones will do some real damage if I ever need to use it in self defense.
