Sherlene: Dear Federal Government Workers

Dear Federal Government Workers, I have empathy for what you are going through right now. I worked for the government for several years--regardless of whether employment verification is given. You should really get one of them to prove to your debtors the severity of this partial government shutdown. How does it feel to work every single day and not have a paycheck, feels like volunteerism right? Oh, and if I were you I would keep a separate timesheet journal to include in your work portfolio. Let's hope that no one steals your work portfolio--like another internal government employee of your career industry. How can you prove that you work for the government when you aren't getting a paycheck?  I guess you could prove it by your tax return is what several federal workers told me. Just keep in mind that a tax return doesn't formally identify your job title with the organization. In other words, an IRS representative will not be able to determine you what you are doing, w...

Dear People of Color: Things I Wish You Knew

If I could write a letter to us--people of color--from a white person it would be as follows: Parental discretion is advised. Dear People of Color: I have been thinking about you, and I wish you knew that White people are really sorry for the events that led to the African slave trade, but we don't know what else we can do to help in culture unison. White people sometimes feel that African Americans would rather be slaves instead of trying in this new economy. We've always been a broke country and, yes, we used Africans to sustain the USA, or you could say that we used Africans for us to remain here instead of returning to Europe. African Americans care way too much about the "correct" behavior of kids, and materialistic things. White people are not originally from here either.  Are any of us, originally, from this country? The USA was a new home for most Native Americans, too. Maybe we were only actually right about segregated schools, and should have ...

Let's talk: Back-to-School Shopping Tips

Source: chase.com/blueprint All school children (homeschoolers, public/charter schoolers, and private schoolers) need materials and supplies, tools, to perform their best. 1. Set a budget: Inform your child(ren) how much you are willing to spend based on product-category needs. 2. Create a list of needs and wants. 3. Never pay more than you have to. 4. Shop later in the season for discounts. Not every item on your kids' back-to-school list has to be purchased before the first day. What can wait? What needs should be brought during sales? 5. Have a smartphone? Turn your mobile phone into a shopping assistant.  Choose free apps that enable you to get the best deals. You can also scan barcodes to compare prices on the items. 6. Do comparison pre-shopping by search on- and off-line. 7. Avoid using credit cards if you can not pay off within one month. Remember Christmas is coming...

Fearful of the Current Economy?

From the Editor This month's hosted theme is MY BIRTHDAY (July 23, 1971) month,  just a few days away.  We are also discussing global islands: Hunting down the fine arts.  Globally, there are many quality, outside venue opportunities for exploring new hobbies, and the arts. It is also an opportunity to reorganize or restock your materials and supplies. The New Monday Show Last night's discussion within the Holy Quran (Surah VI) included topics of the Resurrection Day/Day of Judgment. Until that time, as faith believers, we are not to judge another person's actions.  We do not always understand the actions of another family's lack of participation of fellowshipping, or faith believers' social events. Another topic of discussion was whether we should informally judge one's refusal of fellowshipping opportunities.  Allah (God) blesses and he also curses.  There have been historical events wher...
