Hmmm Im not sure. Maybe a couple of them were my brothers, but they ended up in my room somehow.

My sister and I have told her this and begged her to.  My mother is the type of person to listen to anyone because she can't handle what we have to say to her.  She's always on the defensive side.

Some places will help you do an intervention where the family meets with her and you all bring up all the nasty baggage and things she said while under the influence, she can then make up her mind based on everyone's concerted complaints and the rep will take her to the treatment facility. A lot of health insurance policies will pay for it. I slammed dunked one of my sons into treatment for drugs years ago and he's clean and sober because of it. They piss and moan and kick at the goads initially, but eventually will tell you that they are glad they did it and that they really needed it.

Reading gynecomastia forums to see what other men have to say...seems it takes over their lives just the same as our chests take over ours. I've read story after story of guys who are so depressed they don't want to leave the house, wear layers of shirts, use things to bind. It helps.

Very true, I think the feelings of cis-men versus trans-men appear to be very similar. My nephew had a bad case of gynecomastia and it was devastating for him. He was this happy go lucky young child back in the day, but puberty played a mean trick on him and it lead to extreme embarrassment and shame. He once starved himself down to around 155 lbs in college to rid the breast tissue (he's six foot three), didn't go away. He's had the surgery and it turned out great. But he's not the same to this day. I can't say it was this issue, but it damaged his self-esteem greatly and I don't feel it has ever recovered. It's so sad anyone allows a physical trait to do them damage. There's no shame in your physical presence ever... hmmm, I think that's worth saying to myself a few more times. 

I'm thinking I'm going to have to get my peepers checked before too much longer. I have difficulty seeing the guide on the big tv from across the room. Getting old sucks...

It's definately worth another try.  I'm going to talk to my sisters about it as it would be nearly impossible for me to convince her myself.

You have to do it as a family and even with some of her friends that are equally convinced that she needs help. Alcohol can be clearly addictive to some folks, I know because my brother was blotto for 40 years and finally went to treatment and they helped him get over the hump. He's been sober for ten years and enjoys his life now more than ever.

Now I remember why I despise most mothers.

Depends. One of my favourite anime/manga is Ouran High School Host Club and I really like Benny and Joon and Ten Inch Hero (it takes place in a sandwich shop) which are rom coms.
Also, speaking of my avatar, he's going to have his own comic in February. I would be excited for the comic regardless, but am extra excited since Loki is going to be portrayed as bi.

You might like this one then. Its a romantic comedy slice of life type. But its different from other slice o life in that its deeper than most.

Idk what it is elsewhere but light in america is like when you make a joke that doesnt offend anyone or play to sex or stereotypes. Thats light.

I had mentioned the fact that I was writing some stories to my mom. She says "Maybe I could read them sometime."  I just started laughing because I seriously doubt that she would get it. No matter if it were the fanfics or one of the original stories that I am writing since they both are centered the whole anthropomorphic animals thing.  Especially the whole angle in the fanfics involving the romantic relationship between Portia Porcupine & Laura Squirrel.
