So, I understand that some people can have the same name, but this isn’t the case with my husband. My husband’s name is so unusually spelled that he was the only person, besides his biological father, who had that first and last name combination on a birth certificate. This is a fact that he shared with me when we first...

UPDATE: I think I found the name of one of my husband’s “friends” who have been using his ID and other property. I looked up the last name on Ancestry.com and the first name also appeared. Yep. My fifth cousin and his sons/relatives, have possibly been using his identity. I don’t know if they befriended him years ago,...

We’ve been separated for over seven years, but we are still legally married. I have been filing taxes separately since then. This year, I sent a message to his VOIP phone number to ask if he was able to file his own taxes this year. He didn’t respond to me, and I let it go. I didn’t want to bother him, and assumed he...

Long story short, around 1992, one of my relatives died and the body sat, never receiving embalming. The male, teenage relatives nicknamed it “Roseanne Vuitch”, calling her body their other relative’s girlfriend, and saying she smelled. Anyway, I just heard someone use that name to insult someone this morning, and I know...

So, my spouse and I have been separated for about 7 years. Before that we separated in summer of 2013, and again in 2015. We live apart, obviously, and date other people. It’s really difficult for strangers to accept. For example, when I’m seen out in public with a male friend, people try to call me a cheater. No, I’m not....

Two years ago, I was on the low end for BMI range. I went overseas and didn’t have a place to exercise. Despite walking everywhere, as transportation in that country, I put on weight. I blame it on having what I think was a sinus infection for a while. When I’m sick, I tend to eat more. Anyway, I gained a lot of weight over...

Last week, my cat was tracked by something. He has wounds on both sides of his face. I took him to a 24 hour vet, after I returned from work. After meeting with the vet, I was told that the worst case scenario for his treatment would be a procedure that was over $2000. I was shocked. I told the staff that I couldn’t afford...

I have made it to 25 donations of donated whole blood so far. I was told last week that I qualify for the 3 gallon award! That’s not why I donate, but I’m really excited to have such an honor bestowed upon me. During my last donation, they actually told me which hospital they would be sending my blood, since it was going to...

I get it, ok? Gen Z’s reputation isn’t great. Many people see us as lazy, unmotivated, and broken....

When someone broke into my house, ransacked it, and left, I thought it was my husband. We were separated in 2013, and had agreed to live apart, and even to date other people. I had a restraining order against him, because he physically abused me. We reconciled, and he told me he didn’t break into the house. No one seemed to...

Not sure if this is the right place, I didn’t see a 7CupsOfTea on lemmy. If this is out of scope, let me know and i’ll move/delete it....

So I’ve followed Aaron Carter’s public life since some time in 1998 and since his death I’ve tried to find a way to grieve my first parasocial relationship and understand what on earth went one with him, his life and his family....

Wanna say you all suck. Also vapers. You also.

I apologize in advanced for this rant, as it’s very heat of the moment....

I need to vent. Mods, if this kind of thing isn’t welcome in this community anymore…oh well. It helped me feel better at least typing my thoughts into the void....

Is anyone else nauseated when they read “correlation doesn’t equal causation”? Similarly “play stupid games win stupid prizes.”...

Language of any kind has always been hard for me, as most languages aren’t intuitive and require your brain to be forced into learning often odd and unnecessary rules. My brain hates math, the only language I actually respect and a lot of science is built on complex math and non-intuitive nomenclature. I’ve been increasingly...

Lately, I’ve been having a hard time getting doing my hobbies because I’ve doom-scrolled to bad news, and devastating facts related to the Right (wingers), and a religious majority: Muslims....

I made this banner; but I can’t use it until the image upload restrictions are lifted.

So I stopped generally using Reddit after the whole API thing but my husband still does and we talk about stuff since Lemmy gets the job done....

I don’t know how I got this job, sure it doesn’t pay the best in the field, and you need lots of specialized training, and with that training you can go to much more prestigious work, but it pays enough. I don’t know why the previous person to do it left (the commute was too much for her, but I would’ve moved closer if I...

Apollo is limited to five events, which I’ve exhausted for FFXIV community events. Now I just want a reminder to bump my Disboard and FFXIV Community Finder, since I always forget. I’ve tried a bunch of bots to no avail, and I keep coming back every once in a while to try to find a solution again....

It’s also not even the cheapest. A lot of food at ALDI is both cheaper and of a better quality....
