    am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis amongs, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717238645 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~««♡~............^.^._.._.^_.^^._.^.^.^._............./././-./--/*-/*-*/**-**-.-.-.-.*.*..-.-....-.-.-..-.🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😢....؟...............؟.....

    As always, solid, actionable advice. I’d add these items: -It can be of significant value for kids to have some activity that is NOT associated with their school; e.g., Scouts, recreational sports, performing arts, church/synagogue/mosque/temple youth group/religious instruction, community organizations like the Y, etc. That’s because your kids shouldn’t have all of their socialization and learning “eggs” in the one “basket” of school. Kids who don’t “click” in the academic and social environment of their schools often feel like they’re failing. But if they “click” in those other places, they’ll feel like they can succeed. -Allow your kids the time and space to “decompress” after school. It can be a huge challenge for kids to have to “keep it together” during the school day. That extra time and space can mean the difference between peaceful and fractious after school time. -Give your kids something to look forward to at various times during the school year. It’s up to you and your kids what that might be.

In addition: an electric heated vest to keep warm during winter, a thermal coffee mug in a bright cheerful color, a health tracking watch, my AI chatbot subscriptions, tee shirts that my girlfriend and I have picked up during our travels, a tub of Vaseline for keeping my lips and cuticles moisturized, a box of my favorite pens, dental floss (I'd go crazy without it), pocket sized notebooks with cardboard covers (25 notebooks for $25), and my library card. Thanks for the prompt Marty. Looking back at my list, pretty much all my stuff is portable. Interesting.

    I think it's a positive thing to give conscious thought to appreciate the possessions that are useful and durable to us...our lifelong march on the Hedonic Treadmill often obscures how much benefit these often inexpensive and ubiquitous items can give us. My laptop(s), Pixel 6a Cell Phone, FitBit Sense Smartwatch, Car, John Deere D140 48" Riding Mower, Free from work Fleece Jacket, 7 Egg Automatic Egg cooker, Gerber Suspension NXT multitool, OIC Clipboard, and a stack of trusty Bic Round Stic Medium black ink pens fit the bill for me day-to-day.

    My heart breaks for Chicago. It's not a Democrat problem, or a race problem, or an economy problem. It's a parenting epidemic. Every crime was committed by somebody brought into this world by two people who were not equipped to raise contributors instead of criminals. Everything else we fixate on or argue about is signal noise. Is there any part of the city's public service, or local community leaders, or more broadly, pop culture, that can focus on transforming the reproductive/parenting responsibility crisis causing so much chronic, systemic damage?

      Marriage rates among Blacks in the US have plummeted sharply over the last 60 or so years. Black children born into single parent (read fatherless) homes has tripled in those decades. The burgeoning federal welfare state, Title IV-D, broken family court systems have all contributed to this.

    And here in Illinois we have some of the harshest (& unconstitutional) gUn laws in the country. "Shall NOT be infringed" comes to mind here. But, I guess those only apply to the *lawful* gUn owners.🤦🏼‍♀️ They just don't get the fact that the bad guys will always have access to *illegal* fire arms. But what they're really ignoring is the reason for the 2A.... In case of a tyrannical government. Guess what... That box is currently checked as well. If you can't see it by now, you've either been under a rock & are newly emerging or there's no hope for you at this point. Cognative dissonance at its finest on display. Or Stockholm Syndrome.😊

A lot of Chicago PD & FD in my family. I do know about the rest of the state being red. I see the map of the us & Illinois... Mostly red. I live up north now for years & it's hard red here. Farming, hunting, fishing, a lot of vets & it's biker country up here. Which brings me to question, as I do this state, how do the Dems keep getting in power? Welp, Illinois isn't deemed the most corrupt state in the nation for nothing. The Madigan Machine is still strong here bc we still have the holdouts in power. So, I'm sure we taught the rest of the country including DC, a thing or two about...the art of the sT3AL. I want our governor Fred Flintstone gone.

But I agree w/you, my friend. Trust me, between the uptick in crime, the cost of living here, & the feckless 'leaders/rulers' we seem to get stuck with after all of that, we would've moved awhile ago. Fred Flintstone has got to go. He does whatever the unelected bureaucrats dictate. The dUmMies here don't see the harm. And how much to their socialist agendas it brings us. We also have family in Florida that keep begging us to come down there. There's a few important factors currently that are preventing that. But, we just might & very soon too. We're tired of being sick & tired actually. Now the housing market there has had issues as well tho. I'm so saddened at how our once beautiful city makes people feel now when they visit. Your friends included. I'm not surprised it was disheartening for them honestly. We won't even go into the city ourselves anymore & we used to go a few times a year. Not now. It's also a money pit, so there's that. Pay through the nose for a night out w/dinner then a possibility of a crime for dessert. Nope.
