Quote from: Gina P on Today at 07:46:31 AMPersonally I have greatly expanded foods that I am willing to try. I still avoid Chinese. Seams many use additives that give me a bad Migraine the next day. For me its just not worth the pain. Since you get daily headaches, what's the worst that could happen?
  I guess I aged myself with the comment about phone calls. Haha Times have changed and we must adapt.

Two things to unpack about your Chinese food headaches. One - sorry about that! Two, many MANY people associate Chinese food with the additive MSG - which is a flavor enhancer and is used in Chinese restaurants for sure, but it's also used in most other restaurants as well.  It's in soups and sauces and dressings etc.
The story that it's only or mostly prevalent in Chinese food is a myth. So if you are one of the people who are sensitive to it, that might explain some other headaches you've gotten in the past from other food eaten out. It's really everywhere in varying amounts.

A professional's advice is good on what sounds natural. 
It seems common for people to have excessively high expectations.

Quote from: Jessica_K on Today at 06:21:45 AMI look at it this way. There is nothing wrong with my brain, it's my body that is not right. Simples.

Exactly why I say our diagnosis should be Body Dysphoria. We don't have a problem with our gender. We change our bodies to match our gender, not the other way around.

But if you cook your own from scratch at least you know what is in it. Stir fry with rice noodles is easy.

Thanks, Gina

That is the one the Clinician had me download. I was using Voice Pitch Analyzer, but she said different apps use different ranges for each gender and Voice Tools is what she uses herself. She said her voice is consistent at 187Hz. Then one day she was at 200 for some unknown reason. She told her co-workers that she finally found her "girl voice". (She is cis).  ;D

Took an Ibuprofen this morning and been okay all day with my back, cut out some of the trim panels for the Austin. Gave D a hand to tie up and lift an old mattress into the back of his motor so he could take it to the dump, 2 old farts with bad backs feeling it before we started!!!

The set I have is foam, so they are lighter and they came with the shapewear with pockets to hold them. They stay in place and are less visible through clothing, but they are quite warm to wear.

You could try "Voice tools" a free app that I use and like. Helps with pitch and offers playback so you can hear what you sound like. Good luck with the lessons. Nothing like having a professional help guide you.

   Thanks all. Courtney, so good to have a friend who I can confide in and talk to. Your invaluable. Added to that your great fisherwoman!
   Went on our weekly trail ride yesterday. We were able to beat the rain that was moving. Just a great day then a customer calls for an emergency repair and it took me 2 hrs just to get the door closed. One of those repairs where everything went wrong. My wife said, "see you were not supposed to go!" There will always be repairs where things go wrong.
  It's raining here and supposed to continue all day. I'm looking forward to a slow start and and getting some inside stuff done.
