I think you’re referring to caulk gun

Yes. I have. 55”, 38lb tv mounted on a single stud because that’s the only places I could center the tv. The mount is not centered but the tv is. I have lag screws holding the mount to the wall stud and drywall anchors and screws on the sides. The screws on the side really just prevent the light from rotating

Honestly, that was handled pretty well. They realized it was an honest mistake and instead of reprimanding you, they provided a learning experience.

I started when I was very young, like when I was 8 or 9. I always had a fascination with women’s clothing but I think like many cross dressers, I began by exploring my sisters or moms stuff; which as an adult now I know was wrong but as a kid I didn’t know any better. I think that contributes to the shame I feel when crossdressing and doesn’t help with accepting myself as a crossdresser. Not to mention my parents never really accepted me as a crossdresser. Eventually someone close finds out, it’s inevitable. I think my parents accept the idea of me being a crossdresser but they don’t actually accept ME as a crossdresser if that makes sense. As an adult I don’t really feel the need for their approval or acceptance anymore, but as a child that was very hurtful.

Ok cool. Still need to make sure the wiring is thick enough. I understand he stated he’s planning to use a 15 amp cord but that’s doesn’t mean he will actually buy that 15 amp cord. If he changes his mind, I simply stated as long as the gauge is adequate, it will be fine to replace the end

That’s fine. Just make sure to get the proper gauge wiring. A washing machine will pull a lot of current so you don’t want wiring that is too thin

As a closet crossdresser, this story seems very familiar to me. I’ve also amassed an entire wardrobe for my other self and there are bags of clothes I no longer wear/I’ve grow out of style wise.

I also struggled with sizing and bought many things that did not fit right and didn’t know what to do with.

I don’t think anyone will question you at goodwill. You are donating clothes, they don’t necessarily need to be yours. You can say you are just dropping them off for someone. Either way, I’ve learned to stop caring so much about what others think. The only person who can make yourself happy is yourself; and that starts with loving yourself. Easier said than done

This is a cool idea but would never work in the US. US healthcare is reactionary in that the healthcare systems are structured to keep treating patients.

Instead of preventative healthcare, the US is more concerned with how they can keep billing patients.

I think you should let your friend know how much it’s bothering you, that it’s affecting your studies and sleep. I think once she sees that you’re struggling with the situation, she’ll she that your comment wasn’t genuine and was intended as a joke. I think you should apologies again and stress that it wasn’t meant to be serious or hurtful and that you’re sorry you hurt her. But in the future, refrain from making similar jokes as it obviously doesn’t sit well with her.
