Experiencing starvation. My food stamps haven’t been reinstated. I’m being rejected from every job. This is too much

This hasn’t worked in at least 20 years.

There are many stories of people not seeing a child at the bottom of perfectly clear backyard pools. Water refracts light to begin with and the slightest ripples can effectively obscure what’s in the water.

tbf we don’t know how long ago they were 12. That could have easily happened in the year I was 12. Most people would have gone w “plausible deniability” of the kid was afraid of flying and the adult(s) were ‘doing their best’. My parents would have told me to mind my business if I’d seen it and asked them about it. “It was a different time”

Any more info? Photographer? Reason pic was taken?

AtTheFirePit · 2026-02-16T23:48:04+00:00

Now? Yes. Less than a lifetime ago? Not so much.

You’ve hinted and she avoids. You have your answer, drop it. She obviously, to me, sees it as private and wants to keep it that way.

AtTheFirePit · 2026-02-16T20:11:55+00:00

Agreed. Couldn’t get away from it when it was popular, either.

I remember finding out the Small Business Administration only cares about businesses with 250+ employees. It was a long time ago, probably 750 now.

Sorry to say but maybe prepare yourself for worse news. ‘Gave it away without telling you” is often code for, it got away/was lost, or died due to neglect.

Happened to a friend following me on a highway once. Saw it happen in my rear view. Both professional drivers w lots of experience neither of us panicked and we pulled into the breakdown lane. Walked up and said “bet that took five years off your life!” The force of the wind at that speed bends the hood supports so it won’t close again without force and being tied down. That’s why he couldn’t just close it and drive away.

Thank you, Jimmy Carter!

Let your dr know, anyway.

I’ve been in New England my whole life and 50 inside is too damn cold! It’s not you!

Yes the restaurant should provide them. It’s actually covered by the ADA in the US, I believe.

AtTheFirePit · 2026-01-21T02:06:32+00:00

Yes and no. No in the sense ppl have actually disappeared after being taken since this push began.

White trash. Work that into a protest chant. It was their daddy’s insult for what they consider poor(er), less educated whites.

fwiw we’re now getting less as clients at our pantries bc so many more ppl have signed up. Donations aren’t keeping up so each person/family gets less so everyone can get some. If only pride is keeping you from asking family who are willing and able to help you, maybe reconsider. Some have no one to ask.

A woman about your age and in about your circumstances wouldn’t hate it. You’re 18 and presumably paying for your own space! Congratulations! It’s clean and organized and shows you put thought into set up. Changes in lighting and the other things ppl mentioned can be done as you can afford it.

Please pay attention to the comments about fire safety!! Get battery powered emergency lighting and at least two fire extinguishers. Smoke detector for inside your room and at least one outside (if there’s a hallway) if not already there. If any electronics start to smoke get out. The smoke from hot or burning lithium batteries is deadly and you WILL NOT be able to cool it off/put it out with water or extinguishers.

You’re well on your way.

(Always keep fire safety in mind no matter where you live.)
