Finally!!! After almost five years of fighting, I got approved!

Firstly, I want to thank those in this subreddit community who gave me insight, advice, guidance, and encouragement. I’ve learned so much from you all and I’m so grateful to have had y’all as a part of my journey and story.
I believe in tenacity, perseverance and determination. These are three things I had to have when fighting for my truth, reality, and livelihood. I was denied, denied, and denied again and that was with representation. Then, when my attorney told me that I should just start back over from scratch, I knew there was something wrong with the picture. I had to let them go.
So, due to the limited amount of time I had before my first ALJ hearing, I had to represent myself. I had no clue what to expect for this over-the-phone hearing. I also didn’t know that my judge had only a 12% approval rating…actually the worst in the state. Of course, I was denied and luckily my case was remanded. It’s a shame I had to go back before the same judge to be heard again. This time though, I had representation. He was fantastic. I knew immediately he was a gift from God when I realized we had the same initials…MK. He took me in, under his wings and sat beside me for my second hearing (face to face) and declared he would fight for me until the end. After this second hearing and being denied again, my case was once again remanded. Then, I got the letter with the name of my new judge. Just seeing this new name gave me hope. And so, on May 19th, I had a phone hearing and felt so at ease. When I heard the VE say there were no jobs available that I could work, I felt the tears well up in my eyes. It was only seven days later that I found out I had been approved!!!!
Yes, this was a hard fight. But, I told myself I would not give up and I would appeal, appeal, appeal. And, I must say, I am so glad I did. It was that voice from God that helped guide me down this turbulent road. I’m so looking forward to receiving my first check on Tuesday and my backpay sooner, than later. 🩵🩵🩵

What do you do if your items have been stolen (from a former, selling partner) and are still being sold on ebay?

I’ve had a partnership with a woman for a couple of years selling on eBay. The whole point of doing this was to help her out. However, she has recently revealed her true colors to the point of no return. I’d put up with her and given her so much grace for so long. But, now is the time that I take back everything I’ve worked so hard for. In order to keep the business going, I spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on jewelry and clothes to sell. She, on the other hand, spent only 10%, compared to the 90% I spent. I told her that I’d read some horrible things she stated about me ("like I’m better off dead") and immediately told her we were done. The problem is that she refuses to give me the items I’ve purchased (which are at her house right across the street) and continues to sell them on EBay. She’s selling them and I’m getting nothing. Not only has she stolen all of the items I’ve purchased for the business, but she continues to sell them on her eBay store. Can anyone advise me on what I can do or what I should do? Thank you so much!

What should one do if their what’s app account is hacked and shared with others?

What would you do or should you do if your what’s app account was hacked and all your most private and intimate conversations were exposed and shared to other people? Also, to add to this, you are almost certain you know who the perpetrator is. Is there a way to catch the perpetrator?
