Which one does he have? I don't want to pay the $ for the 2 stage. Yet I wonder how hard pushing the single stage would be and not sure how the auger propelled ego would handle the snowplow pile at the end of the driveway. I'm in central NJ so when we get snow it's often wet or a mix rather...

This is the same process we went through in NJ on the name changes.  The court hearing was the easiest - they pushed us to the front of the line since both parents were there and there was no contention - and they let us do it for both kids at the same hearing.  We needed the official court...

Yes - very noticeably happier.  Especially Brett - our 18yo.  Ben has additional issues mostly unrelated to being trans that we are working through, but he is very happy with the changes.

Same as Workhorse - PM me if you need anything.  We've done everything we can for our two transgender boys 16 and 18 yo - name change, gender change on the birth certificate,  hormones and top surgery.  Hormones have been 1 year for the 18 yo and 2 years for the 16 yo.  Both had the top surgery...

Wrench is my favorite.  I have some wrench, sloop juice bomb, southern tier nu juice and sierra nevada 40th anniversary on hand.  My homebrew pale ale (with grapefruit peel and citra dry hop) will be ready by this weekend.

Exactly.  We had discussions with our kids as far as "push back" (I don't like that term but discussions about how sure they were).  Our younger boy said "It's not a choice."  I don't remember the rest of his words verbatim but it was something like "why would someone choose to do this.  it's...

Well said!  Having gone through this twice I can say that a lot of therapy, Dr appts., etc are important and required before any changes such as hormones or surgeries are done.  We had multiple discussions in therapy around concerns of starting hormones and things that could be irreversible.

This was absolutely true for us.  It's extremely hard to get used to changing after being one way for 12 or 13 years.  My kids would get extremely upset if someone messed up and didn't apologize - of course many times people don't even realize they messed up.  

I didn't take the time to read the whole thread, but just wanted to say there are a lot of parents that are not as support of as you.  I have two transgender boys (F-->M) and it can be very rough on them.  They are 16 and 18, both are on T and just in the last few months both had top...

I'm on week 3 and like it.  It helps to have a set up in the basement where I'm left alone - it kind of lets me separate work and home.  My company has MS Teams - it works great.  Conference calls are easy, you can call or IM someone direct and can do video calls.  It helps to have a headset. ...

What fryer is it?  

Thanks - this helps.  This is one of those products where I've read a general review on air fryers and some articles say they do a good job and some say they do a terrible job.  The same goes for reviews on specific models. 

Any recommendations for an air fryer?  Looking for one big enough for a family of 4 and will mostly cook fries, wings - things like that.
