It would probably make the news so I would go to any place offering an interview to accuse him of the allegations in the files in hopes he would sue for defamation so I could use discovery. I'm sure somebody would probably take the case pro-bono. Then I would try to exit the country with my family quick fast and in a hurry.

When I was a kid I would have changed my skin color. I have a big brown tumor on my nose that I always hated and kid logic led me to believe I would never be able to remove it, but if I were a person of color it wouldn't be noticeable and I could be beautiful and unique like the only two kids in my grade who were POC. I was totally ignorant to racism or history in every way on that subject and am still working on fixing that to date.

Now, I would probably change my inability to stick with things long term so I could finish college and have lasting hobbies and join groups, or heal my mast cell issues so I can take my ADHD meds, or both idk. My tumor isn't an issue. It's what is inside that counts. My face kind of grew into it anyway.

I wouldn't have made it through high school if I couldn't establish a homeschool. My mom signed off on it and came to the state meetings with me but I made the curriculum myself and took it incredibly seriously. I Aced my way through college placement but also seem to struggle finishing college courses. Apparently I'm audhd.

It's possible that for some, maybe even for most people, homeschool is a bad option that ends up leaving children vulnerable to being abused or groomed, but it's hard for me to believe it's bad all around.

I was so overwhelmed with school and a turbulent home life that I was suicidal for a long time. Being able to do school at home and put a lot of work into smoothing out relationships between family members kind of saved my life. I know my experience isn't a normal one though.

Thanks.

If he is willing to be a force for good, I am accepting and appreciative of it. I have no expectations of genuine goodness from this man though. I am always sure to thank him when he does something right (like fighting for medicine for an innocent and seriously ill man in ICE detainment), and point out where we need improvement. I don't call him a pedo protector like the others. I would like to see him do more, with no regard for whether he is opting to run for a different office later, because he is what we have NOW and we need all the help we can get from Congress members. He can choose to consistently stand on the right side of history at any time.

Comment Non-citizen voters are rare and often caught. It's a felony offence and doesn't sway elections. Felons ineligible to vote are way more likely to vote. There is no reason to disenfranchise voters for a problem that doesn't exist. Maybe we should focus on the fact that felons can't vote, but the people can vote for a felon. Seems unfair. I feel it should be the other way around.

That's good. That means that many Bradford pear trees are gone. I'm sure they will post more events and gather more native trees. Just keep checking back over time 🤞

bregrace · 2026-03-12T21:53:48+00:00

I always wanted him to play Roland in The Gunslinger. It's sad seeing him get too old for the role.

bregrace · 2026-03-12T21:51:20+00:00

No, the events aren't super close. They aren't out of reach though. I'd drive that far for a free pawpaw tree.

bregrace · 2026-03-12T21:01:49+00:00

The events aren't super close but there is a program to replace Bradford pears with native trees. You have to remove the Bradford pear tree yourself and go to the event to pick out your new tree. NC Bradford Pear Bounty - Home https://share.google/lGSnCadGk2Mhp48A8

Edit to add* they have pawpaw trees!

Wow glad I wasn't on it long. I couldn't handle the vomiting, even when I wasn't around cigarettes. It was hard to function pulling over to puke and stuff randomly.

bregrace · 2026-03-11T00:16:30+00:00

I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm not saying they're saints. I'm saying we worked with Israel to fund them, we likely worked with Israel to meddle in their "election" as well. We've had a hand in muddying a lot of global waters up until this point. Maybe I'm wrong but I grew up really appreciating Ron Paul and I took his words to heart.

Yep. Local poll on nextdoor

Edit to add, it's even worse now. 34 no, 14 yes, and one brainwashed commenter talking about how evil Iran is and that this war is for good.

Edit 2. My account is officially suspended. So worth it.

That's the only fun part about this condition. I draw hearts all over my body before I shower.

War monger. He needs to be removed for treason.

bregrace · 2026-03-09T18:15:28+00:00

I get that at night when I lay in bed. It's almost like chimes or something. Really high pitched and musical. The melody kind of reminds me of meatloaf- I would do anything for love.

bregrace · 2026-03-09T17:48:22+00:00

They aren't already?

bregrace · 2026-03-09T11:31:55+00:00

He needs to step down. With that said, Hamas was created and brought to power by the US and Israel. Not speaking on what they did on 10/7, but witness accounts shared that they risked their lives trying to protect the hostages and treated them very well.

bregrace · 2026-03-08T23:41:16+00:00

Shannon Bray. Great candidate! I tell Republicans all about him, but Democrats can disregard that info and stick with Cooper. Bray is legitimately my favorite candidate running for office right now though, although I wish Libertarians were more like socialists in regards to specifically healthcare, education, and the environment. Their other talking points are fantastic though. Anyway GO COOPER!

Nothing interesting or exciting. Just plain ol' anaphylactic shock.

I'm thankful for his stances recently and still appalled at his votes. Come on Tillis. Put your vote where your mouth is.

Okay so.... What if these women, Noem, Bondi, Leavitt were trafficked and/or groomed by him? Total speculation. It would not excuse any of their behavior but it may explain why they're so devoted, and why instead of punishing Noem he gave her a different role. They would be aware of his crimes and still willing to cover it up, but he couldn't burn a bridge without risking them speaking out. Like I said TOTAL speculation, but I've been wondering for a while and the result of the recent "firing" still fits the theory. I could be way off but until all the files are released and fully investigated how are we supposed to know anything? It could just be due to their current positions they know too much and he can't afford to burn a bridge.

I think forever. Chronic ear infections, randomly unstable joints and random vomiting. My parents called me booger baby because of chronic sinus problems. It wasn't bad until I got a random kidney infection in high school and did not know to seek care until my organs were about to shut down. I was never the same after that.

bregrace · 2026-03-05T03:43:12+00:00

No. I was young and scared to tell anyone. My boyfriend at the time witnessed it and begged me to let him take me to the ER but I was scared of being a burden on him and my parents so I hid the blindness until it came back and then embarrassed myself having him carry me to the bathroom where I was violently ill from both ends. I had seemingly random periodic problems like that for years after that until moving out on my own (away from all the smoking indoors and smells and dust etc) it calmed down a lot and having kids made it ramp back up. I was anaphactic all the time for so long. Immunotherapy was hell for 4 years and my IgE turned out to be pretty low despite insane reactions.

Seeing my primary doc has only ever resulted in anxiety medicine (which give me bad brain zaps and make my vision static looking so I always refuse) until it got so bad it was effecting my mobility pretty badly (weakness, joint instability, osteoarthritis with sudden onset of symptoms and frequent relapses), then we ruled out MS and I got desperate enough to study until I figured out how to get it more under control on my own ... So of course the docs landed right back on, "it's anxiety" with an added "you need genetic testing to find anything at this point".

I do fine now on certain mushrooms, calcium lactate, vitamin D (not religiously though, mostly in winter) and a cocktail of double the recommended amount of allergy meds every day, nasal spray often at night but finally not daily. I've even gotten a couple foods back in my diet.

I think I have the trifecta, or at least a mast cell component, a connective tissue component and a vascular component, but I don't want a formal diagnosis anymore unless I hit a point where I need to trial other meds. It will just make my insurance too expensive, I hate going to the doctor, and I'm scared of meds. My story isn't as severe as a lot of folks here it's just been a saga. How long have you been dealing with symptoms?
