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.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
