Not starting any thing ( I don't vote for Presedent) your vote is wasted.

Vote for Your local and state reps are the ones that screw up your life.

And I Belive that if you don't have proof that you are a American citizen you should not be allowed to vote. For example we can't go to Mexico and vote or England, Spain why should it be allowed here. (answer = so Politician can keep their gravy jobs) just my opinion

I believe the OP did say to make sure you GOT your official ID so you COULD vote... Just saying...

PS.. I also agree... No ID = No Vote!!

But then this comes from folks that don't understand the word "illegal" in the term "illegal alien"... Sigh...

Not all "Mexicans" get all the freebies...my boyfriend is from Venezuela but has lived in the states for years. He's been in a battle for citizenship for a long time.he's 23 and works harder then anyone I know.he works way over 40 hours a week and doesn't get overtime,he even works 7 days a week and is given a hard time when asks for time off!.getting another job is hard,and might not even pay him minimum wage.he gets sick and can't go to the doctor.he can't own a library card,and is trying so hard to get an education,but community colleges shut him down!

Not trying to start anything,I don't know much about politics,I'm just trying to throw out there that it's not as easy as I think you think it is....there's no freebies for my boyfriend.

Everybody in America is an immigrant except Native Americans, some by choice, some by force

But we're here now and need to be heard

God bless us all

If he is on a visa, and is here "legally" - more power to him!! The ones I'm thinking of are the ones that come into the country without 'permission'... And NO not JUST Mexicans!!

It's not fair everyone came from somewhere. Those that come here legally want for a better life. Them I have no problem with they want the same thing my great great grand parents wanted a better live. They work hard for no money no benefits and still they survive.

It's the illegals that come here just to pry on our system and bleed it dry. I'm sorry your country hates you nobody deserves to be treated like crap. But the rich that run our country's don't care about you me or anybody that they look down on

There are a lot of people that come here legal and do the jobs nobody else will do and are treated like crap. This will never change . As long as there is no term limits are.

What would this country be like if all elected Goverment offices where only 4 year terms and you can only run ones. ( ok now I will wake up)

I hate this country. You work in a job for years & you think they appreciate you. You even work off your time to make work place better for you. Come off your time to help out.

I'm the stupid legal one that would do that in a job that lays me off after 5 years but claim I was the best worker. F**** work! If I ever work again I'm only doing my job & nothing else.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
