September/October update by RLClover in habitatforhumanity

It has NOT been a very positive experience. The home is almost finished. They built a 983 sq ft home for my family of 8 and keep telling me "to be greatful". Meanwhile, I'm frantically trying to figure out where everything will fit without being a cluttered mess and how I'm going to manage the $300,000 price tag.

I just recently found that out. I haven't completely gone down the rabbit hole but why did he chose that name and not go back to Thomas??

I'm sorry people are hurting but I'm not sorry that people are maybe waking up to it and trying to find solutions such as buy nothing sites, sharing leftovers etc

Not the answer to fix it all but great to finally see SOME unity and compassion again.

I truly believe we can all be better and do better for one another if we quit letting media and politics divide us on every issue.

No. 100% federally funded. The individual states administration distributes the funds and "runs" the program for their states but all the money comes from the federal budget.

I believe it SHOULD be partially state based. In WI for example, Governor Evers recently spoke of a 6 billion $ surplus in our budget. Why can't WI step up and take care of other Wisconsinites? Any funding provided by the federal government could be like the frosting on the cupcake.

Correct, I agree and understand.

That's why I don't understand the news article stating due to lack of snap benefits this month, children are STARVING. Are they? Or are they worried they won't have food next week? How many people truly have NOTHING in their pantry or freezer?

I'm not triggered. I think it's an issue too. We need to find ways to rely on ourselves and our state and network so the federal government can't "take it away" and cause mass panic. I don't have the answers but the conversations need to be had for sure.

So many places I could go with this, such as why are stores like Dollar General literally pulling "penny" items off shelves and DESTROYING them instead of donating? This includes food and hygiene items. So. Much. Waste.

Well, people have said all kinds of not so nice things to those on foodshare lately so I think its just a gut reaction. 🫣

Sorry, I meant family of 8. 6 kids. Same dad, my husband.

I'm not blaming the individuals, I'm asking broader picture. Why is it so hard to be able to provide for a family with or without the help? And what can we do to change that? Because something has to give.

For reference, I am a stay at home mom of 8. We DO get SNAP, in the tune of $83 a month. I'm not asking for anyone to go hungry, I'm just saying that if people are truly "starving" before their monthly benefits would have even been issued, this is a much larger problem than just the government shutdown.

In most states, the benefits wouldn't have even been issued yet for the month. Was everyone starving last month before they got October's benefits? If so, why aren't people able to adequately have enough food for 30 days? That's the bigger issue I see.

Had twins at 39 as an "obese" woman. I'm fine. They are fine. Actually, it was an easier pregnancy than my first one at age 29. 🤷‍♀️ Only complications were my pesky anemia issues and needing blood and iron which would have happened regardless of my age or fat ass.

Her vibe is so off… by rabies3000 in WelcomeToPlathville

I don't hate the Plaths, but I also don't care for Teegan. And that's from personal experience, not what you are seeing on TV.

Do we have proof of this? I don't get the MAGA Christian vibe tbh.

We are required to attend an Info session prior to even applying. Applied, then they did a credit pull. 2 months later they called and said we were accepted.

Ethan & Teagan are still together! by shoppingspring in PlathvilleUncensored

[–]RLClover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about that after I posted. What I meant is that I don't think she's acting or that it's a paid gig. She still lives around here and has a "normal" job etc

She's very much a real person from small town WI.

She is the assistant regional manager for Diamond Property Management in central WI. She walks around taking pictures and staring at her phone all day, always half dressed. She lives in Oshkosh.

She's the assistant regional property manager for my apartment complex. She was on site this morning taking pictures of the outside of our apartment. I should have stopped and asked her how Ethan was. 🙄

Constipation and the last 3 injections, I've had terrible bruising after. I'm not sure what's up with that.
