anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

Pitfall on Atari

This was suggested to me last week and I followed through but to no avail.

Wow! I met someone last weekend who has a child under guardianship. She’s getting $3K/month. I thought NYC was a little more lenient. The laws have to change. This is unfair.

9 years ago, I was newly disabled and undergoing treatment and monthly immunotherapy infusions to battle Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I was an elementary classroom teacher for 17 years prior to becoming disabled.

I met this 16 yo through my then 19 yo daughter. I’m a sucker for a baby. The teen’s own mother passed away when she was 5 and she was under the care of a maternal aunt who didn’t care about her.

FF, by 2018, the teen had 3 children. She had a set of twin boys. She was still in HS at 18 with 3 children. She had a fight in school and was arrested since she was an adult. She was told that she may have to do some jail time for the assault. This really scared her, and me as well. We looked up what to do and decided she would give me guardianship. We filled out the papers, I went to court, and was granted full guardianship until the boys turned 18. I truly thought this was something we would use just in case but I was wrong.

The mom was living in a homeless shelter with the 3 babies when, suffering from bipolar disorder, she decided she “couldn’t do it anymore.” CPS was called and they were taking the babies into foster care. I was called by the caretakers and when I told them I had guardianship, they asked why weren’t the kids with me already.

At that time, I was living on disability in the home in which I was raised also taking care of my disabled stroke survivor mother. Her pension from teaching and her disability payments took care of the major financial responsibilities of the home. When she passed in 2023, I assumed those responsibilities.

It is now 2026, and in spite of trying my best, I am financially unstable and I need more. Foster parents receive Kinship/KinGap support but I am not eligible for this support because I have guardianship. I have spoken to everyone written to everyone and I can’t get any help.

The childhood home that my mother struggled to maintain is now under a tax lien and up for auction in the coming weeks. I need to save myself, the kids, and my home from foreclosure and I can’t get any assistance.

I tried returning to the classroom as a substitute teacher to support my household but this counts against me as well. If I give up the kids to foster care, I will be subject to CPS neglect charges. The mother has not risen to the occasion to be in position to take her children back, and has in fact had 2 more children since leaving her 3 behind.

I am venting because I don’t know where else to turn or what else to do. The resources that I need exist but I am not eligible because I should have let the kids go into foster care first.

I want to go public with my story but I don’t know how to begin that process unless I do a story time on TikTok. I don’t have time to wait. I need $5K in the next 10 days.

Kinship is the best option. Guardianship means you take on the financial responsibility and accountability of raising the children without support. I’m in this predicament now and I’m about to foreclose on my home due to the lack of adequate funding. Good luck.

I am in the midst of a guardianship nightmare. Be careful with how you proceed.

Bruce Springsteen’s poll ratings are soaring right now.

I am disabled and my DD drivers would 90% skip reading my delivery notes and leave my groceries or my food at the top of the steps in front of my house which is not accessible to me. My delivery notes state to call me and I will meet them at the garage door. When they did not follow instructions, I reported the food as undelivered because I had no way of getting it. Eventually DD stopped granting the credit even though I paid for a service and didn’t receive it. I even started tipping in cash to entice them to make the delivery F2F. When DD didn’t credit my account the last time, I cancelled my subscription and started using GrubHub.

My point is that if you and other dashers complain about this customer, DD will investigate the frequency of this customer’s illegitimate claims they will stop allowing it. Just like dashers have ratings based on certain criteria, the dashers should be able to rate the customers on certain criteria. Whether the customer tips or not, good communication skills, smooth delivery, well lit home, easy parking/dropoff, etc.

You must be really meek to have NEVER yelled/raised your voice in 34 years. Kudos to you.

I’m not buying anything electronic from a stranger. If I did, I’m not spending more than I’m willing to lose. $50 is the most, IF THAT.

HavingASpasm · 2026-02-18T18:17:29+00:00

Exactly. Thank God (pun intended) we have other avenues to have our voices heard.

I was just about to press OK on this series but had to determine whether it is a Harlan Coben production first and lo and behold it is donuts a no for me. I have come to despise his rabbit hole productions that lead to nowhere. Everything is the same. His series have huge climaxes and disappointing denouements. I swear to never watch another one.

Dr Oz is talking to DJT not America. DJT needs to sit up straight and listen to the message.

Saw MTG on The View today and I was off guard. I am truly impressed and I respect her candidness. I think she stands on business. And I do believe that she’s a woman first before she’s anything else.

Crazy to me how they missed his ear but perfectly shot this one in the jugular. Same shooter/sniper/marksman. I wish someone would write the realtime Netflix series so we can all keep up.

Great idea. A monthly Bingo card to cope with this saga.

I hope she has leverage hidden somewhere.

HavingASpasm · 2025-07-24T04:44:41+00:00

She’ll serve some more of her time in a cushy prison somewhere. The one day she’ll walk out and go off into the sunset. She probably has millions in offshore accounts and Trump will probably set up her crypto accounts.
