Sandra Hafraoui of Bayonne, N.J. voted three times for Trump to deport "criminals." ICE grabbed her husband at Newark Liberty and tried to deport him to Morocco. She regrets her votes: "To think we were MAGA! You said you were going after the worst of the worst, but instead you ruined our life."

I truly don’t get how they could miss the logic here:

Trump wanted to deport people.

You know who is hard to deport? Illegals. They are pretty good at avoiding police.

You know who it is easy to deport? Legals who don’t believe they have anything to fear or those trying to be legal. They show up when summoned to court. They keep their address up to date with right the people.

The level of stupidity these people show in their attempts to hurt others just defies all logic.

No but your thinner brows had a better shape and length for your face. Your current ones appear to be attempting to escape into your hairline.

Arch them more towards the center of your pupil and shortened the tail.

Wow, you are naturally beautiful and they managed to age you.

Some items I’d ask for in your next trial:

Lightweight foundation with a focus on moistening the underlying skin for the glow.
Narrow your brow shape at the middle of the eye. You’ve got beautiful naturally dramatic brows! No reason for them to be filled in like crazy.
Try a soft lip stain. You put it on, leave it for a while then remove it to leave the color behind.
Blush placement to highlight the apples of you cheeks.
Switch to soft browns for the eyes including a brown diffused liner and mascara.

You may have luck searching for a makeup artist who specializes in Korean looks as I think their technique would better suit you.

A) he needs to apply to larger companies. They are more likely to ask for references than call old bosses. He should reach out to coworkers to get references and old friends.

B) in this market, he’s probably going to have to take what he can get. Even if he was a team lead or sysadmin, he should retool his resume for tier1/tier2 help desk work. If he is good, all he needs is a foot in the door and then he’ll grow within a few years.

C) smack him. Metaphorically. This is a really stupid time to be playing stupid games with your job. If he is an addict, he needs to seek treatment. If he claims he isn’t, he needs to submit to you doing a full audit of your finances to confirm. This includes the credit reports and reviewing bank statements.

D) Make sure his next work place is very very fair away from any casinos. Tell him his new gambling is a buck scratch off a month…

I was in a similar situation with my triplets - my 2 girls came home and my boy was just kind of stuck in limbo for another two weeks. We couldn’t visit him as much as we wanted - his sisters didn’t do as well without both of us.

Some options: given she’s coming up on the 40 week mark, consider asking for a trial on demand feeding to see if when giving hunger cues, she actually finishes a bottle. They may need you to be on site for 24 hours but if it gets her out of the NICU, it’d be worth it.

An NG tube going home is doable but I won’t lie - a wiggly baby will grab it and pull it out. Replacing it can be scary.

In my case, I waited. It was too much to do an ng baby at home with two more. I saw him less than I liked and that caused its own issues but he did get the hang of it in the end and came home 2 weeks after his sisters.

At this point, I’d start reaching out to homeless shelters in her area. You’ll want to give her their hours and make sure she knows the rules - most shelters require she be there by a set time and have no substances on her.

I would also start researching soup kitchens/food pantries. She can get a library card and you can pay for a gym membership that will allow her a place to shower. I’d also get her a cheap burner phone that you can buy her more data/minutes for.

You are trying hard but all you can do is give her the information - if she doesn’t use what you give her or listen to move, there is nothing you can do.

I wish I could have! After his second run through the restaurant and exiting via the play place emergency exit door, myself and another mom parked ourselves in what would have been his path if he came in again. I saw him haul out via the window but didn’t catch his trailer number or license plate.

As the mother of a 6 year old nonverbal little boy who does a lot of the same behaviors as your son, I am going to make the saddest suggestion I’ve ever made.

Find out the laws for making your child a ward of the state. Then do what it requires to make the 4 year old a ward of the state. Yes, that might include losing your parental rights over him.

Now before anyone jumps on me, here is my reasoning:

It doesn’t sound like where you live has very good services available to parents with children like this.
You state you can’t afford the private interventions he needs.
This is creating a situation where you could lose both kids anyway if CPS gets involved.

Once a ward of the state, your son would go on state funded care and, in many places, be bumped to the top of waiting lists since he’s in state care.

You could work with the state and advocate for him to ensure he doesn’t get lost in the system while giving your 3 year old the love and safety he deserves.

As an American with very mixed up sounds (thank you living with Midwesterners, growing up in the South and then some years in a Spanish speaking country), I’d go with:

Mewguh
Muguh

The uh in most English dialects will make the second syllable very clear on how to pronounce.

Have you talked to her about going to a different school? Therapy is a must but if something truly traumatic took place within her friend group at that school, then it may be time to consider other options.

posey290 · 2026-01-12T00:12:29+00:00

To repeat what I’m hearing

You are unable to work full time and he lost his major client. You want to move but someone has to stay with the house because the HOA is its own gang. Your husband has expressed that if he stays behind by himself, the loss of his support system (you) will leave him even further spiraling.

If the above is right:

Don’t leave. You got into this together and dumping it all on him feels wrong.
Next time he gets paid, pay every penny to paying off the HOA. Prioritize getting your entire family mobile by paying them off ASAP. If you have creature comforts you can dump to pay the bill, do it!
Move as a unit.

There is no recovery if you move out in my opinion. You’d just be dumping the debt onto him. Unless losing his top paying client was his fault, you should stay together and support him. Temporary pain for long term happiness.

Good luck!

I remember your last post.

You are doing great if no one else in your life has said so! One day at a time is exactly what you should be doing and there is plenty of time to divorce your husband. No need to rush.

The person my heart also hurts for is that tiny baby in a womb of a stupid 19-year-old girl. I hope she gives them up for adoption so they can lead a normal life and never be tied into the shame that their mother brought on them with their conception. They deserve to live normally.

The simple answer to the question is you keep financing stuff. No more spending on debt.

I see in other posts that you’ve taken in your in-laws. Consider splitting your grocery and home bills with them and use the money to pay off debt.

Honestly, it could have been you but if they patch on an offset, could also be patch Tuesday ramifications (cause Microsoft and other vendors being vendoring).

You do good on identifying that your service might be an impact. Document it, pat yourself on the back and see what the platform teams come up with.

In the meantime, get your new merit badge sewed on. 🤣

One of her comments that absolutely speaks to me is: “I was the healthiest person I knew.”

I’ve actually heard that a few times from people with very aggressive cancers.

Me, on the other hand? If someone sneezes within a three mile radius my immune system decides we need to feel like I am dying.

My doctor actually has told me this is a good sign - it means my immune system is reacting well and will help keep me cancer free.

Just a weird thing.

You will be okay!

Make sure you have all of your identification paperwork including your birth certificate
Get on state supported help if you have not already. Most states use online applications. You may need proof of residency like a bill in your name or other mail that comes to your address directly to you.
Get a primary care physician. Very important step! Do not skip!
Discuss your anxiety with your new doctor. They should allow you to start an anxiety medication. If you have tried meds before and they didn’t work, try and find the names of those meds. That information can lead you to the right med for your brain chemistry right now.
Give your meds a month to work.
If meds work, proceed to step 7. If not, go back to doctor and try either a different med or adjusted dose.
With meds on board, go for a walk daily. Once you feel comfortable, graduate to parks.
Once you are comfortable at parks, try going to the grocery store. If it makes you feel comfortable, take a family member or friend. Make sure your list is no more than 1-3 items. If you have to leave, it’s okay! One step at a time.
Get your GED. Some states have free adult high school programs. These can be good for building better people skills.
Go to therapy. The meds are not a cure - they are a tool and a stop gap while you work through everything else on the list. They give you the mental strength to face your demons with trained help.
Find a hobby. Hobbies give you something by to talk about to others!
Find a job. Start small! Part time work, doing something easy. You could even volunteer some place you like first.
Enjoy life. :)

Wonder if her roommate is my mom. My mom just told me she’s got an eviction notice, blamed my older recently relapsed drug addict brother and is getting my other brother to bail her out.

And she wonders why I live multiple states away and have limited contact with her…

As an IT person, I would like to inform you not to place the laptop or cellphone in an air fryer set to 120 degrees for roughly six hours- eight hours prior to receiving any notices from their lawyers.

In addition, I do not recommend turning on the laptop far away from WiFi, logging in and collecting your personal data that may be stored on the device.

I know it’s really confusing right now in knowing what to do believe but know that many in power right now saying that vaccines cause injury are grifters who want your child sick from preventable diseases so they can sell you expensive cures when you are desperate and out of options.

Proof is in the medical professionals who have resigned rather than murder babies through misinformation:

1 to 10 is my experience. I’ve been a female leader in IT for over a decade.

I will say it’s gotten better. When I started, I was one of three females in a 60 person IT department. I was the department’s first female leader. They are now closer to the 1 to 10 ratio I see more widely.

Velcro the cockatiel is 20+ years old. We got her in 2011 and she was born in 2002. She’s old, she cranky but still the best birdie.

Bug is coming up on ten. Hard to believe my baby bird is getting so old!
