  • When my kid was going for her prosthetics the prosthetist said most finger prosthetics are for aesthetic purposes. Depending on your specific needs there might be options for you, and DIYers have made some impressive prototypes, but they all have their pros and cons. I think the Hero Hand is a pretty impressive option, but it is really expensive and some folks might have trouble getting insurance to cover it. Plus for kids the more expensive and complicated prosthetics aren’t great options as they tend to break them and lose parts. I was told that most folks with a partial hand, due to birth defect or amputation, choose to just work around it rather than wear a prosthetic.





  • I bought a refrigerator from Best Buy about 7 years ago and when it arrived it came with cockroaches. For days after the fridge was delivered I’d find dead roaches on the floor or see them scamper away when I turned on the light. So I bought a big bag of boric acid powder and lightly sprinkled that stuff around the kitchen floor leaving a nice thin dusty coat on the tile. After three days I vacuumed up the powder and I never saw another roach again.














  • You people are just a hoot!

    First of all learn to proof read before you post.

    Second, show me how being Trans = being mentally unstable.

    I’m being honest. Please send me any peer reviewed, fact based, article on that. I’d love to know more.

    Also what is stopping any unsavory character (trans or not) from taking on a persona to manipulate people? What has ever stopped those types of people?

    Trans people are just humans, like you and me. No better or worse. They have always existed, even if society made it so they had to stayed quiet about it. They pose no threat to you or the “American way”. They simply want the same rights every human has and they want to be left alone to go about their day, just like a vast majority of Americans.

    It’s people like you that turn mole hills into mountains over this stupid shit like a trans person using a fucking bathroom. Fuck gender bathrooms anyway. Make it a requirement for all bathroom stall doors go to the floor and none of this is an issue anymore.

    I swear you right wing nuts don’t have enough actual problems in your lives. If you did you wouldn’t have time for this shit and you wouldn’t care.
