Rene

I am a severely disabled veteran living on VA Disability Pension. I'm am unable to sign leases to rent, and I don't make enough money to pay the disqualifying debts in question. Due to my health, I barely function, much less have the bandwidth to do anything else.

Our HUD and specifically Section 8, VASH and LIHTC (Low-Income Housing Tax Credit) systems are so taxed right now that I'm in danger of being homeless.  I don't have a clue what resources are out there, but I'm running out of time, and pandemic protections are likely to expire in the not distant future.

I've been trying to find a new place to live for 8 months, and there is either no availability, more than 50% over fair-market rent for my area (even with a cosigner), or no current HUD contact information for the Realtor.

Thus far, I've found no programs that I know of that can help me.

I turned off day night cycle so that I could use a command block, and redstone to manually advance time in Minecraft. But now that I did, I can't get the bed to allow me to sleep my character through the night. Is there a way to make my bed work so that when night falls I can sleep to set it back to day? I just wanted custom day/night so that it was more realistic.

I am a trans* woman who is planning on undertaking education abroad in Australia. Once my passport has been issued, it will have an F on it, instead of an M. My issue is that I don't want to run into any snags because of my documentation during my processing through immigrations. Is the gender as far as my US passport enough? As you know neither the Social Security Administration, nor the US passport laws require that you have sex reassignment, only a letter from a licenses physician indicating you are taking the necessary steps towards gender transition. However, to change my legal gender for the state I was born in I need a letter from a doctor indicating I had surgery.

I am a disabled veteran interested in moving to and living in Australia. I am not completely disabled, and I have no hearing, vision, or mental disability. My physical disabilities are minor, so long as I treat them with prescribed care, and don't over exert myself. I have literally spent hours over several weeks searching for information on this matter, and I am already in the VA system and receiving disability pension. My pension is protected, and will remain payable in Australia, even if I become a citizen. Additionally, and I have insurance through the VA that would apply in Australia. It's some place I have always wanted to live, and I am just flustered at the inundating amount of information, and can't seem to really figure out how to do it. I don't even know where to start, but I'd imagine getting a visa to live there and take up residence would be the first step. But I don't even know what VISA, or how to get it, nor of the eligibility standards. The sites are really confusing, and I wanted to know if others had done it, and if so... How?

This refers mostly to body language in the form of describing the demeanor of the characters. Is this important for storytelling, and book-writing in forming connections for the reader to seeing and actualizing the character? Or does it just bog the reader down in trying to do so? Certainly there is a balance for descriptions of character behavior in writing. But, in general, is it better to include it, or leave it out? Also, I am aware that different readers may prefer styles of writing on their personal preference, so it may be a little moot to some degree. Don't know.

In body language, what does me mean with someone cocks their head to the side immediately after making a direct statement to you? No other changes in body language still making eye contact, body facing you, no changes in position. I am a fairly good reader of body language, but I am trying to double-check my appraisal on this.

If so, how do you deal with this? I only recently learned that I was demisexual, and I guess I still have a lot of questions about it. Like the one that has been bothering me recently is "What are the alternative ways to show romantic interest since I don't give off the body language of a sexual person?" I am totally for romantic relationships and I do want them and sexual attraction always comes later, but I find that some people can totally be put off by the that aloof air that seems to come with being demisexual. The biggest thing I have noticed is that I have had to overcome the expectations for relationships impressed upon my by heteronormative society. I have had to get used to the fact that I don't experience sexual attraction like other people, and I was curious if others had any insight on this.

"A demisexual is a person who does not experience sexual attraction unless they form a strong emotional connection with someone. It's more commonly seen in but by no means confined to romantic relationships. The term demisexual comes from the orientation being "halfway between" sexual and asexual."

Is there a political terminology that describes the manipulation of normal everyday words into divisive contexts? Like woman to womyn in a intentional manner to give superiority over another? Or gurl, verses girl to define someone who isn't like other girls. There are other more well known uses of this, and I am referring both to the intentional manipulation of spelling, and the creation of alternative definitions designed to malign, degrade, or discriminate against another person. I am just curious if there is terminology that already covers this concept, and if so what is it?

I remembered one time, though my memory can be bad sometimes about a passage in the bible relating to science as a proof for the nature of God. The line went something like this... "That by learning about the world you live in you can learn about God" or learn about the nature of God, or about what God made the world to be or something like that. Does anyone know what I am talking about. It relates to the fact that some people believe that science disproves God, and other believe it proves him. I just want to know where in the bible it says that, if it does at all.

I don't have all the right parts to have normal menstruation, however exactly 6 - 8 days after the full moon every month like clock work I started having these episodes especially once my body started changing in 2006 and amplifying in 2010 when I started HRT (estrogen). (Basically, my body said hey "this sounds like fun", so my endocrine system pulled a 180 on me and now I live as a female). I feel so emotionally blasé, I feel fat, I am bloated like a puffer fish, my face and eyes are puffy, I am pissy, and totally in black widow mode (only I'd skip the sex and just kill my mate instead for fun). I am in "kill the messenger" mode, because the first person to give me bad news is going to f'ing die horribly. I feel remotely okay except my eyes are glowing in the dark of a shade of red and my head is spinning around.

There really isn't a lot of literature that talks about what happens with women who are missing assortments of girl parts usually blamed for that once a month agony. And lets not mention the stomach pains like my intestines are revolting against me. I always had endocrine issues, but I can't recall if I was like this is High School. However, I get the feeling I was because I remember having those episodes from time to time. I did read somewhere that women who had partial to full hysterectomies still experienced menstruation side effects accept there were fewer cramps, and obviously no bleeding. So, I guess through that I could assume that this is just how it is being a girl whether your transsexual, intersexed, both or neither. Any input from other women, of any background would be cool. Thanks in advance.

I have noticed an increase in the amount of trolling, and profiles popping up that look like they were made an hour ago to troll. I have seen it before but not like it's been lately. It's 3 times more than what I ever saw before on Yahoo! Answers. Is it just me or is spring bringing the trolls out to play and frolic in Internet Land?

I am a transwoman, and for some part I feel bisexual, but I wanted to get an external opinion. I have never been with a man, but I have experience moderate romantic interest in men, and I find men and women attractive. However, I don't really trust men, and many men just give me the give me cold shivers. Being on estrogen changed that a bit, and I have been close to men who didn't insight that response. I know why I don't trust men and I am working on it actively, and it's better but I find myself very sensitive and hyper-vigilant to how men act. If they go a creepy on me I freak the f*** out (creepy staring, following, erratic behavior movements, pacing while watching me, et cetera). Is this just girl intuition, or am I just not all that attracted to men. I don't do the same with women, but there have been a few isolated incidents. I get whistled at, and hooted at by men (sometimes women) on a regular basis, and flirted with anytime I go out, which don't bother me; it's just the other retarded stuff guys do that irk me. So, either I am paranoid, or men behave very predatory when looking for women.

Additionally, I know I have a very strong attraction to women, and have been in long term romantic relationships with them. However, there is always something... missing with relationships with women. I mean men and women are different, and there is things that I find attractive about both. Like something about the warmth and strength a man can project. I guess maybe I am sort of a hopeless romantic hoping for someone to be my chivalrous prince (female or male). I like to feel equal, and I like to feel safe and protected. But it seems girls like that are hard to come by and men like that become assholes after awhile, maybe this is a flawed perception. I know that there are many times though where I am with other girls, that get heebijibees about the same guy I do, so I know it's not just me. If I say, "that guy is a creep", which I can usually tell within a few moments, the other girls around me will agree. Anyhow, any insight you can provide would be great. Also any advise, dating sites, inputs about where the best place for a transgirl into other girls (transsexual and cisgender) can go would be great too. My profiles get lots of views and responses, but usually only from men and transmen.

I have had an idea for quite a while about a closed refractive laser system that would be capable of the fusion of deuterium at it's core and thus creating a laser pump reaction to facilitate further fusion to overcome the energy loss of electrically pumping the laser in the prior/initial cycles with regulated maintenance cycles. Essentially, the system would be using the energy released from the successful fusion of the deuteriated or tritiated fuel source to continue pumping the laser.

I believe in a concept in super-string theory that relates to particle type and charge, but it's really hard to make sense of some of the contextual writings on the subject. Also what relation does this have to quantum chromodynamics.

Is it possible to pump a high ferrous material in liquid suspension through copper coils, and generate electricity or a magnetic field? I have a postulation about gravitational field theory, but I don't want to reproduce it if it's already been tested. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything about in on the net.

What intersexed condition could cause a person to develop in a slightly typical way without being completely sterile? As a child I developed slowly, small stature. I caught up a bit when I entered puberty early, and was at one point reproductively viable. I developed very slowly during puberty, and didn't develop completely patterned pubic hair until I was 25. I had poor muscle development in spite of a vigorous muscle building routines (many years ago), and my bone structure is very androgynous (hips and shoulders are nearly even). My body always felt someone in between a male and female, though I was not completely absent in libido (though less than average). I didn't develop normal facial hair until I was in my late teens/early 20s in spite of starting puberty at 8. When I was 19 I still got mistaken for being a flat chested girl, and it seems like it took an excessive amount of time for my body to masculinize in the least bit, and the process is quite incomplete on many levels. So I know what to expect when the doctor tells me what condition she found, I'd like to go in there armed with knowledge rather than being blindsided. I think it's PAIS or MAIS, but I don't know for sure. Any help would be appreciated.

I am looking at getting a house for values between $75,000 - 100,000 and I am curious if there is loan term cut offs for the overall value of the house. IE You can get a 15 year on 75 - 85K, 20 year on 85 - 100k, and 30 year plus on anything greater than 120k? I am a disabled veteran and I still have the ability to get a VA home loan which is literally guaranteed; however, I am almost assured that I will need to get a 30 year loan to budget accordingly for payments, maintenance, property tax, et cetera so forth not to mention utilities and necessities. Getting a better job really isn't an option given my health, and not to mention the fact that I can't milk the Post 9/11 GI Bill past 36 months.

Once upon a time a prisoner named Renee loved her captors. Her captors named her something else and conditioned her to be someone else, someone that hurt her just to be, but in the secret darkness she retained her identity deep inside. Her captors had no respect for who she was, and continually ignored the advice of others that would have set her free. She was required to bow down before them as if they were royalty or God himself, though in actuality the warden of her cell was a scoundrel. A megalomaniac who was an abusive, racist, polyamoristic, sexist man who believed, and still does that women are beneath him. He tormented Renee for not being what he perceived as valid as a human being. He prevented her from having female friends, and even beat her for play with other girls. Again and again, she was denied the rights which were given to others because he perceived her behavior (though she tried to conform) as subhuman, or inferior. Others were granted favors to which she was denied. She could feel the pain of favoritism and was made to feel like a second class human being. Her identity was raped by the patriarchal entitlements of the world in which she lived. She'd cry herself to sleep at night in her cell because there was nothing she could do to gain the approval of the warden. The woman who guarded her cell was actually her mother, but had become little more than a peon of the warden. Though she did many times show great compassion and kindness towards her strangely disassociated child. She loved her captors, though they beat and berated her, until one day she broke free and dissolved herself of their ideas and limitations. Freedom in body, wasn't freedom in mind, just yet. She struggled with it for years, and Renee longed to feel complete.

She tried love and lost time and again to no avail to fill this void. The pain her captors inflicted upon her still controlled her, and even though her cell no longer had bars and the prison existed only in her mind. She had been so harshly conditioned under their reign that she still behaved as she did as their captor. All the things they forced her to do, she still did though it hurt her deep inside to do so. Slowly, and gently the curtain fell, and she began to awake from her state. Bit by bit she broke the some of the shackles on her mind. Slowly, she began to become more of a person. Then one day, she met a woman she knew in her heart. This woman became her mother. Her mother shows her love, and she loves her mother in return. Many a nights would pass where she would lay her head on her mother's shoulder and tears would pour out. All the years of torment lay bare on the floor like rocks when you empty your shoes from what was collected as you dragged yourself down that rocky path. She had finally found the mother whom deserved the love she once gave her captors. As they grew together, she became more and more who she really was, and actually began to undo the damage that was done. All the while her mother could see the real girl under the dirt which was the conditioning she'd received, though Renee was oblivious. Until a change occurred, at which point she began to morph into the woman should would become and changed from the still mentally and emotionally imprisoned Renee into something else. Renee began to transform inside, though a difficult process. Slowly, as though her name itself were becoming alive, she began to change. She had many questions along the journey, and her mother lovingly answered with the best of her knowledge. But what had been done to Renee wasn't as simple as overcoming the past with her captors.

There was much confusion and torment in her heart as she struggled to find herself. But surely, she would have perished by her own hands had her mother not been there. At times Mother was sick, and occasionally fell ill. Renee longed so much to be by her mothers side, that any distance caused her pain. Renee lived apart though with her in spirit, and thanked God for having Mother in her life. The transformation was painful, and her mother knew so. Renee was becoming the woman she would be. It is a slow and uneasy process, and Renee cried and screamed in the night praying for it to go away. She initially wasn't ready for the change and it came at her like an angry bear. But as time passed, through faith, and the love of Mother, she learned to accept the change. Renee, was no longer Renee, nor was she the name her captors had given her, by which many knew her as. That name fell away, and a rebirth occurred. Like a butterfly pupa from her cocoon, she emerged anew. Her captive name fell away from her, and her name the heart evolved. Renee had become a woman, Renee was now Reneta. The prisoner had finally been freed, and Reneta was born. From that day on, though sometimes by other names, she was now to be known as Reneta Xian. She was reborn.

I'd have to say 9 months into transition that I am still a little unfamiliar with the brave new world I have wandered into. I am bi-curious, but my leanings are severely lesbian/gynesexual (partly because I have always been with girls). Dating straight women is one thing, but dating lesbians and bisexual women is quite foreign to me. I have noted that I get more attention from women and men as a transwoman than I ever did as a man, but if I am only going be proven to be gynesexually exclusive I am still at a loss.

I would just like to know what lesbians feel about transwomen, and if they are into transwomen what are the differences for what they can and can't accept. I am a woman inside, and it is my sincerest intention to make a full transition (surgery included). I am mentally and emotionally female, and I am girly but not super girly and in the way I carry myself melds with this and I am fairly attractive. I just want to know what I am up against before I start dating again.

To put it mildly growing up in a sheltered environment, having very reclusive parents not to mention abusive when I was young, growing up on a farm, and serving 10 years in the military in a job I can't talk about till I am 80 years old has made me a little awkward in groups. I am a very amicable person, and while I like a little attention here and there I am generally more solitary than some. I enjoy being around people when I am in that mood, but I find that I come across very awkward. I have always been this way, and perhaps it's a perception I have, and perhaps it's fact. My unique life in comparison to others seems to make it difficult for others to understand me, and while I am a sensitive person and can understand others it's not enough to bridge the gap. Obviously, I am well aware that there is usually more than meets the eye when it comes to this, but I am just curious. My humor is obscure, my personality is unusual, and my wit tends to be dry or too subtle.

At many times in my life I have tried to find social outlets to hang out with others, but I find that I am not sure about what to say, or not to say, though I generally take the conservative approach. The other side of the coin is that I don't like alcohol in social situations, though I have fun at the time, I generally feel negative about it later. I have the desire to be social on a regular basis, but later feel really depleted (alcohol or no alcohol). Mainly, there is only a handful of people I can generally be motivated to socialize with, but with the rest of the people I meet I tend to lose motivation and fast. Perhaps this is all the dilemma with having most of my closest associations living too far away for regular social interaction. I am an introvert, and a dreamer type personality. I am also asexual. MBTI scores me as an INFP, which is a relatively small amount of society dominated by females, and female personalities. My life has been rather sparse in regards to social experience, and by most I am considered eccentric. I don't find social interaction taxing when I am in them, but later feel exhausted.

Just wondering if there is a missing element, or viewpoint that could help me connect with people. My craving to be social is the reason why I am seeking to understand how to be social. I am honestly happy with who I am, but I guess having no car, and less than a handful of friends locally as left me feeling a little isolated. Options I am considering include, coffee shops, churches (though likely less so), and a few other nameless ones (mostly because I forgot). Where do the more eccentric people hang out, and is there a remedy for my awkwardness? Is there a forum for people who fall within the 1% areas of typical societal thought? I am mainly curious.
