Check this out...
Eleanor Roosevelt Wikipedia - see "Personal Life/Other Relationships"
Just because it wasn't published in the press, doesn't mean it wasn't widely known by those within the D.C. "inner sanctum".

Ah yes..."Joyride"....
Eleanor was WELL known to be bisexual, and kept a mistress (known to everyone as her "personal secretary") at Hyde Park near the end of the war, in a separate guest house on the premises, just like FDR was doing with his secretary, at another guest house there too.
She also had affairs with several men too.

Reply to LPT Request: I've come to absolutely loath flying on airplanes, and my new job has me flying a lot. Any tips to make the experience more bearable? by [deleted]
Favorite chewing gum to help with the pressure in your ears
Dramamine, or one of those motion sickness bracelets you find at the pharmacy.
Silicone earplugs, or noise cancelling headset to drown out cabin noise
Eye mask to help you sleep
Avoid any stimulants before boarding
Device with favorite movies or music
And know that statistically, you are 100x safer in an aircraft, than in a passenger vehicle.

Apply immediately for food stamps and WIC...since you are in a pinch, and there are kids involved, the chances are almost 100% that you will be issued emergency funds, and they will process your application much much faster.
2nd, call 211, and talk to the folks there...they will guide you to all of your local resources that can provide assistance, such as food banks, pantries, and other groups that provide help for single moms.

Reply to TIL that it took several years for writer Bruce Rubin to sell the script to Jacob's Ladder, because it was "too metaphysical" and "Hollywood does not make ghost movies". Rubin would later write the screenplay for Ghost, a box office success that grossed over $500 million. by WouldbeWanderer
Jacob's Ladder was a damn good movie...a real mindfuck!
I do recommend that you watch the movie more than once, just so you can see everything you will miss on the 1st viewing
