Never knew that, it totally makes sense. Levittowns were created to keep out blacks too (I'm not sure about Jews).
On topic- Anti-Semitic sentiment is still pretty common in parts of the United States.
There is an interesting history of lending practices that have contributed to racial segregation in the United States. If anyone is super bored they can read up on it.
Regarding HOAs- so many of them overstep bounds.

Is there anyone else who hasn't got a single $1 of federal " help " yet ?
Like .... anyone who has not received their stimulus money OR unemployment check ?
I am just SO beyond frustrated. Ugh.

I have not received my unemployment and I dont qualify for the stimulus so there's that.

^ Did you check the status on IRS website? I haven't received a stimulus check, however it shows a day that it'll allegedly be mailed out on.
The hectic vanilla job and mommy life is still keeping me occupied so that I don't feel too depressed about the whole quarantine stay at home thing. We've slowly been moving into a house. We've been staying at the house for a few days now. My home office is in the basement. As ridiculous as it is, I feel like when I'm down there I'm in a different place. It's kind of funny when you're thinking,"Oh, cool! I get to go to the kitchen now!" or ,"Hmm, I think I'll spend my break in the living room" or "I'll go for a walk in the backyard during lunch".

How do you know you know you don’t qualify for the stimulus? Make too much?
I filed my return and they accepted it. Still saying “status not available”. My BF has been calling the unemployment office 25-30 a day and no one is answering.
I dislike Dave Ramsey’s personality, but he has a lot about budgeting after a job loss- worth a google.

Early covenants and deed restrictions were established to control the people who could buy in a development. In the early postwar period after World War II, many were defined to exclude African Americans and, in some cases, Jews, with Asians also excluded on the West Coast.[6] For example, a racial covenant in a Seattle, Washington, neighborhood stated, "No part of said property hereby conveyed shall ever be used or occupied by any Hebrew or by any person of the Ethiopian, Malay or any Asiatic race."[7] In 1948, the United States Supreme Court ruled such covenants unenforceable in Shelley v. Kraemer. But, private contracts effectively kept them alive until the Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibited such discrimination.[8] Some[who?] argue that they still have the effect of discriminating by requiring approval of tenants and new owners.

Yes and when I check the IRS website with my Social Security number, it says that info doesn't match our records.

This reminded me- the Pacific Northwest had a lot of pockets of very prevalent racism until recently. I spent time talking to my boyfriend's mom when she was still alive and it was obvious that a LOT of "white bread" families were not too interested in letting suburban neighborhoods get too diverse in Portland, Oregon in the mid-70s and 80s.
I wouldn't say this about the metropolitan areas of the Pacific NW in the United States...But definitely, that region had a lot of hickish shit going on into the 1980s and 1990s. I guess it depends on who you ask.
A crappy reality of suburban American life is "out of sight, out of mind!"

Bummer. Yeah the website isn’t working work for me either. Give it time. Eventually everyone will get their money. It’s just going to take time for the government to process everything. They are under pressure do it as quickly as possible. It’s just going to be a pain in the ass for everyone for awhile.

^ Yes. My state may have a soft type of opening back up in 7-8 days .
I have to say I'm really looking forward to it.
I guess it's the great debate of the hour but I feel like if cases start to spike, particular counties can always " close down " again.
Just staying closed indefinitely doesn't seem like a good answer.
I think the gradual reopening plan is the best ( no huge groups and 6 feet between dining patrons not as same tables ).

Totally unofficial, but my manager said with schools closed for the rest of the school year and his kids not going back to school tll earliest Aug, hes planning to work from home until at least then regardless of the stay at home order and said its up to us to decide what we're comfortable doing. I dont mind working from home at all, and having the option to go to the office when I feel like it. The main thing I cant wait for is to be able to actually see and spend time with people socially.
My kid and dog are awesome, but its getting really rough. Thank goodness Im in intense therapy right now, or I wouldve fallen apart by now. Hilarious, because usually Im totally fine not leaving my home and Im not super social. But being forced to do this has me feeling kind of trapped. Hanging tough though, trying to.

I agree. I’m staying at home as much as possible till there’s a vaccine.
Once they get testing out we’ll be able to socialize in small groups. It’ll be like deciding if someone’s safe enough to have unprotected sex with. We’ll just have to ask our friends for their Coronavirus tests papers instead STD tests.
I can see us going out to lunch and shunning our friends that get around too much...LOL. “Suze you can’t sit with us. You’ll get within 6ft of any guy that gives you the time of day.” Instead of slut shaming other women, we’ll be social distance shaming other women. HA HA!
I doubt the clubs will be busy. Even if there are people I’m not sure I wouldn’t want to be in suck a risky place. Although it’d be awesome to have no contact dances again. I just think people would show up to the club and not spend money like usual. Then I’m there exposing myself for not nearly enough-like it ever was enough money to be exposing myself in the first place. I started transitioning out of the club awhile ago, so the coronavirus for me was like a momma bird pushing her baby bird out of the nest. I needed to leave anyways. Might go back after the vaccine comes out to get the post corona money.
My hermit lifestyle is serving my quite well right now. I feel like every moment of my life has prepared me for this.

I wont lie...Im already doing this lol taking a mental note of all my friends who are still finding people to hang out with and stuff. In my head Im like weeeeeellll you do you and we can catch up in a couple years. :D
I can imagin no contact dances, smaller capacity to ensure social distancing, etc when clubs open up. Tighter restrictions allowing ladies to work somewhat. I have no idea what lays in the future for me. I escort, hate cam and phone and wont be doing that again. I feel like its going to be awhile before I'll be able to get back to business. Grateful to have a day job, just really, really bored with the vanilla life and was hoping to go back to something I enjoyed doing. My timing sucks.

maybe you can ask your clients to wear a mask. I know it sounds odd but when I was escorting I never kissed my clients or got too close to their faces anyway. And I doubt that men will care if mask are worn. It might even turn them on lol. You could also take their temperature. It could at least get you back in the swing of things. It takes role playing to a whole new level. What do you think? Or you could start camming.

Yeah, Im so nervous because the thing I have my entire persona based off of is that its like an actual date with a girlfriend, so I purposely appealed to guys who were more interested in intimacy and closeness than straight up sexual activity. Its going to take some hard thinking and creativity to see if theres a way to maintain that literal girlfriend experience. Could be fun/interesting actually...now you have me thinking ;D

Samesies, I'm a homebody and so are all of my friends so none of our lives have really changed. I also enjoy the social distancing and mask-wearing because I'm antisocial and don't like people talking to me when I'm out and about. I'm a camgirl so my employment and income hasn't been affected and I started doing my own nails and stopped getting eyelash extensions back in January so I don't have to mourn those things. I'm overdue to get my hair done but I think it still looks good technically and I have customers telling me they like my 'new, dark hair' lol so it is what it is. I feel like I have been so fortunate during all of this that I don't have any right to complain about anything when so many people have been truly fucked.

I need to get a grip. My sleep is worse than ever and when I do sleep I can feel myself being really tense. I keep getting migraines. I barely eat, when I do eat it's total garbage. Went like three weeks without doing laundry, always running out of dishes. Dog hasn't been off leash in a month and he's driving me crazier than ever. But I am still very grateful my work has not been largely affected. Things are slow right now because many of our collaborators are affected by CV, but my company has it as part of the ethos that they never have lay offs. They always find work for current staff.

Oh .... and remember how part of my survival strategy was doing this house sit ? I have been here since March 24 ! It's been great. BUT .... there are guests this weekend which is stressing me out due to needing to clean it and declutter the 29th . I need to check out for three nights the morning of the 30th . I might want to rent a hotel the night of the 30th . J would let me stay I'm sure but he has his daughter that day so it would be an akward arrive at 9:30 and leave by 6a.m. stay. We are not quite at an overnight with her there place yet ( we are proactively doing " friendly " types of intros and outings with her in the day time ). I'm probably good to stay with him Fri. and Sat. as we are talking about the weekend already.

Days are okay, I usually manage a walk and some homework and to bathe :D . Then right around 7pm, like clockwork lately for the last couple weeks, things go to shit. Why is it at 7pm I get super irritable and bitchy, and then after dinner I am COMPELLED to eat tons of junk until I swear I am getting heartburn, while watching 4-5 hours of Gray's Anatomy reruns until 3 or 4 in the morning. It feels like my internal rhythms are all fuckered up. I feel like I cope with my stress okay during the day but evenings for some reason, I just self medicate with FOOD. I need to see my chiropractor. I need to get away from my boyfriend. I love him but sweet baby JEZUS I just need to not see his face for a few days, been cooped up for 2 months.
But we made apple crisp, and it was yummy. So there's that.
Every other night we go to bed saying "...tomorrow will be better...." and sometimes it is, and sometimes it most definitely is not. I'm kinda losing my mind but mostly keeping it together? I think?
Thanks for asking, good thread. I needed to vent.

So sick of seeing the daily corona death toll and now protesters with no mask on, no social distancing saying it’s all a hoax are acting crazy. And I just read that the leader of one of these protests has now tested positive for covid. Enough already! I want to break up with my boyfriend because I don’t want to be with a big belly, misogynistic, snoring, sex maniac whose dick can’t even stay hard during sex because he drinks 2 liter cokes and junk food daily like no one’s business. He keeps talking long term like I’m going to be with him for the rest of my life. OMG God please help me! Please change the world right now. I’m not holding up well right now. And I still can’t smoke weed because I’ve had non corona related chest congestion and throat irritation for what seems like ages and nothing is helping!

So, yesterday, me & 2 of the roomies actually got along:O we played darts a bit, it was fun.
Well, this morning & early afternoon was really nice out I was outside w/the young guy. We were standing outside looking up at the other roomie window (the one I liked)..
So the young guy decided to throw mini tangerines (they were going bad) at Ray's window..
He got super pissed, came down & yelled. Later he was driving off I stopped him, &he started screaming at me, that I was letting in flies by leaving the front door open..
I was hurt & stunned, Idt I even did I!
Then he came back & was saying some shit about I'll allow anything,/:O? & something about the guy that moved out months ago? What The actual fuck?
The other roomie started chiming in some shit, bitch please!
I decided to gtfo, young guy wanted to go by his dad's business, (he doesn't drive) so I drove him.
Ray text me, he's sorry blah blah, & I told him I have ptsd, & thanks anyway.>:(
Meanwhile,my irritable bowel is flaring , soo don't need this shite.
I picked up my mail, & got my little treats I ordered, makeup brushes & an eBay skin care sample .

Last week of finals. I’m gonna take Sunday after my final to relax and do some healthy self-care. (I’ve done plenty of unhealthy stuff to cope...lol)
Supposedly there’s emergency financial aid? I missed the zoom meeting today cause of class, but I hope so! That would be amazing to get some more financial support. I don’t know exactly what it is and who qualifies?
I thought it was a little hokey pokey when my friends said their goal is emerge from the pandemic a better version of themselves but I suppose it’s healthier to process this collective trauma through spiritual lens.
My life coach is doing a free law of attraction master class for people who have already paid- something positive to look forward to.

It really sucks bc I could be banking right now by camming & I can't :(
Im doing ok on my texting sites but I wanna come out of this thing with a nice fat nest egg. I need dental work, my OWN place (or room at least), and to catch up on my taxes finally. Saving as much as I can now with little treats for myself here & there but still.

So, latest in roomie wars, the huge guy who's lived here a while told the newb to not smoke in the house.. It's been raining here, a lot & heavy so he doesn't want to go out.
Landlord was called about this.
Also, the septic tank overflowed, lovely:O:yuck::weeping:
The big guy bought him an umbrella, which I thought was cool. So he can go out and smoke w/it.
This kid will get a beat down, if he doesn't watch it :beat:

Oh .... be prepared for a whine fest. Lol.
Does anyone feel like they just got NO help whatsoever ? My well-ish off parents for example. I was desperate for a 2nd set of eyes on unemployment stuff ( I gave them log in ) . I'm just being staight here .... not much help. They are more versed too in government forms than me.
They gave me $300 in April and then it seems like they sort of washed their hands with me. It was a gift not a loan and that is sweet. But .... I need a loan I guess .... now v.s. tomorrow ..... and now I have to ask them probably. :/
Can this shit just please end ? My self identity is very much melded into " independent woman ...... financially stable ..... together person !"
I'm starting to experienced the mind fuck stuff over just being really poor .
I am STILL hopeful though ! Just sharing and HONEST account of how it is for me right now. I still HOPE for an unemployment check. I do know I'm not the only self employed person who hasn't received one yet.

Re- how I am holding up- I'm okay, and I heard some interesting gossip about my old neighbor that died of Covid 19. He apparently got it from community exposure because he was hospitalized before he tested positive for it. Long story, the details are not important here. HOWEVER this reminded me of people I've known who hate staying in hospitals because they're convinced they'll get sicker from being around other sick people. (Not always true, but that's just my opinion.) I'm not pointing fingers at this hospital because this guy was sooo sick and had multiple health problems way before he caught Covid 19. He was a ticking time bomb as far as being sick goes.
I guess that makes me feel better, the precautions that most of us are taking are meaningful and helping to avoid community spread, & flattening the curve is saving lives. Honestly our Covid 19 numbers are super low compared to how bad it could be state wide...

Texas has partially lifted the lockdown, but as far as I'm concerned the lockdown is still in full effect until I see some proof that it's safer. I've been blessed that the lockdown hasn't effected me or my family significantly because we are able to work from home. Also, compared to other states, it seem like Texas hasn't been hit as hard, but only about 350,000 statewide have been tested. That's one medium sized city, not good. TBH, when need to go out for necessities, I never saw much of a difference in the amount of city traffic, businesses open or people walking around. Most people did has masks though.
The state plan is to reevaluate in two weeks. I really hope the cases don't go up.
Just in case someone is curious, here is the state data

I am in a mood and just want to hide.
Luckily I think I can.
I just see to try to get my shit together and go out to get a roast to cook before I do.

I’ve been feeling a bit horny lately, and it’s a bit of a dilemma for me. I don’t like other people to know when I’m taking care of that, so I wait until everyone’s gone. With the epidemic, it doesn’t happen, so I wait, and wait… and wait. I haven’t gotten off since last June, and I know it’s affecting me because I’m hearing a lot more comments at work about how I “have no chill lately”.

I got a white chocolate candy edible in Vegas.
I will take half a square now and go to the store in an hour.
The heat here is really getting to me.
I'll chug some h2o before taking it and hope my mood gets better.
I am still mad at J for only giving me sex twice in the last 7 days. I can't seem to let it go.
I have many guided meditations saved to my phone. Maybe I will do a " let it go " meditation. Haha
I think watching the netflix show Cooked with Cannabis while cooking / having an edible is a good use of this evening solo.

^ Right?!?
We were in Vegas Mon., his place Tues., woke up Wed. Together ( lost oppurtunity fail .... ).
Wed., his ex brought back daughter at 9 not 11 in morning .
She knows about my existence now. I’m sure the earlier drop was on purpose .
Then Fri - Sun he had a three day weekend but I only got laid once ?
I’m trying to fight paranoia of him seeing someone else ( not likely because he always texts back quickly and he has his daughter half the time ).
