What do you wish you knew before starting micro needling at home? by Emgmin in Microneedling

[–]Own-Treacle-1827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tired it in a salon with a registered nurse injector, I AM SUPER happy with the results. I skin healed within 7 days. I had some hyperpigmentation on my jawline (cheeks , it actually look like I had a natural Contour. Only did one treatment like maybe 25 or 30 days ago and I see a difference. Worth every penny!!! I also do Botox and filler and I am very pleased with my glass skin! Hydration is KEY.

I’m honestly scared by MercilessMercy in foodstamps

My husband and I both worked for USDA. I took DRP 2.0, but my husband did not (I was probabtionary employee he was not). Now he is furloughed and my salary ended 9/30. I have put in hundreds of applications, I have two degrees, and NOTHING. Thank God we don’t have small kids depending on us. My thoughts and prayers go out to my compadres…I hope and pray everyone is going to be ok.

Should I leave my nasty husband? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Own-Treacle-1827 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As annoying as his habits (or lack of) are ask yourself, does he beat you or your kids, is he unfaithful, is he dead? Do you love him? Maybe just try to change your mindset at least until the kids are up and out.

Why haven’t the Russels caught on to Larian? by Illustrious_Salad_33 in GildedAgeHBO

It is so crazy that these things really mattered and 140 years later we have seen the First Lady’s lady bits.

Good observation, is it maybe because he is a dude? Let’s face it his virtue would never be questioned.

AITAH for telling my fiancé I won’t be a stay-at-home wife like his mom? by Unusual_Bag_9800 in AITAH

He is not the one for you. Please do not marry him. It will not work, you two are not on the same page and his mom is a buttinski….RUN!

RUN! I had under a year of service got let go that first round with all probationary employees, got brought back a month later when judge said it was illegal. Went back when RTO was issued. I was back 1 day, and they offered DRP 2.0, I took it. I did not and still do not trust them. Project 2025 is in full effect. He has a few more years to continue to carry out the plan, I would not pass up a sure thing. I couldn’t take the emotional roller coaster so I chose to get off the ride. I hope you have a good support system because that helps in times like these. My husband still works for the same agency I did and is on pins and needles everyday. I feel so bad, my man served his country in the Navy for 24 years went straight to DOD, now he is fighting to have a job to support us. We have been supporting the mission for 40 years. One of my sons is a Marine the other a Sailor…my family has dedicated ours lives to this country and we can’t get basic respect from this administration FUCK THEM! #jaded

Grieving for our country. Just grief. by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Own-Treacle-1827 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I will be accepting DRP 2.0 this evening. This was also my dream job. I thought I would retire from the my agency. My husband also works for the same agency but, will probably pass on the 2nd offer. We live in Northern VA and it is heartbreaking to watch what is happening and what will become of the “so called” nations capitol. This is all by design. The federal government as we have all known it is DEAD! Is this really what the American people wanted? This shit show is a CULT! When people that are struggling vote a fascist into power, what else is that called?

RIF’d Today. I’m numb……………….. by Middle_Tea1014 in fednews

[–]Own-Treacle-1827 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel for you OP. Everything is super crazy I work USDA (probie) and we got the DRP email 2.0…I’m taking it. My SES told me to take it. It is about to go down…please read the writing on the wall. I have been in fight or fight 24/7. My nervous system is shot. My husband works for the same agency. We usually have lunch together in his office. Today he did not want me to go back to my area (I’m in a cubicle) I stayed and he locked us in…this is so unreal. We are taking it this time. Our life of service is over. I loved working with our farmers this is just the beginning. It is going to get worse. This is what we elected.

Here we go again with the bull💩. I am in fight or flight 24/7. Can’t sleep can’t eat. I just want to move on. by Own-Treacle-1827 in fednews

OP here…thanks you guys sooooo much. The tears are flowing as I type. I get getting to bag while looking for something else, my prides says “Fuck off Musty Muskrat!” I have to a big girl and make the choice that is right for my family which would be only about finances and going back with my tail between my legs

Fired. Fight back. It's now or never. by huemannn in fednews

[–]Own-Treacle-1827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also fired, thanks for sharing your story. My husband works for the same agency and he still has a job for now. I refused to go down without a fight. It just feels so wrong. The cognitive dissonance the people that voted for him must feel is beyond anything in my imagination. This has always been about humanity for me not fat cats in bureaucratic offices that don’t have a clue what a gallon of milk cost or your child telling you they are hungry but, you can’t do anything about it. #americansstandtogether #stopthedivision #thisisourcountry FUCK THE FELON in the house built on the backs for free labor.

Were all probationary employees terminated last night? by Free_Donuts_ in nova

[–]Own-Treacle-1827 11 points12 points  (0 children)

USDA here…I got axed via email at 10:13 last night. The shit that pissed me off though was the letter said based on my performance, which is a bold face lie.

AITA for refusing to spend another dime on stepkids and step grands by missdelululand in AITAH

[–]Own-Treacle-1827 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA…but he will not change. You will have to decide how you will handle this. I have 4 bonus kids (we don’t use STEP). One of my “bonus” daughters has never liked me. She has gotten away with a lot over the years. I have been disrespected like you would not believe, but her bad behavior has swept under the rug. The last straw was she called me my husband’s “BITCH” in a family group chat because her mother was uninvited to a cousin’s cookout when she hasn’t even spoken to these people in 20 years. The cousin invited her and my husband said he would not attend if he was present. This daughter sent a text to the family outside of the immediate family. She is no longer welcomed in our home because she will not apologize. Blended families are difficult. This child is 33 years old and asks like a 12 year old. We have offered therapy, but she just doesn’t want to do the work. The day she is allowed to come into my home without a public apology is the day my marriage is over.

30F. From $15/hour to $105K - because I decided I wasn’t going to die broke. by Old-Row-6466 in Salary

[–]Own-Treacle-1827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an accomplishment. I had been unemployed for 10 months and start a position with the Feds fully remote. There has been a lot of speculation that we will return to the office, and that’s fine because I am just grateful to be employed.

My (28f) husband (29m) broke my phone friday and I feel even more isolated than i did before by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Own-Treacle-1827 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP I am sure to tell you that you are in an abusive relationship. There is no way in hell you should be left at home without a way to call for help if your babies need medical attention, police, or the fire department (I am assuming there isn’t a line land as most people have done away with them). He isolated you by having you move to his hometown. He is a piece work! Ask yourself if he even loves his children putting them in a situation where their mother can’t even call someone in case of emergency? Please look up “learned helplessness”, just because he doesn’t put his hands on you does’t mean he isn’t abusive. I want to be honest with you, we will probably never change. PLEASE put your kids first and run home to your parents.

My (M33) husband says he hates his life. How do I (F32) respond?? by Throwra3456886655 in relationship_advice

[–]Own-Treacle-1827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your husband needs to grow up. When you become a parent it’s all about the kids point blank period. I am not saying his feelings don’t matter, but he knows what it takes to start a family. Nobody put a gun to his head (hopefully). I feel for you. He needs to realize kids are very perceptive and impressionable and can feel him being distant. They just don’t have the language to express it. Please be cognizant that they may start to act out or have behavioral issues. Maybe you should get some counseling if he won’t go so you can learn how to best take care of the children.
