We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.
With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.
We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.
Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.
Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.
Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.
Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.
The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.
Your profit:
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.

That means you will earn 716,000 US dollars profit in just 9 months.

"Soltera" is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira. It was released on 25 September 2024 as the lead single from her upcoming project
“Soltera” is a afrobeats and tropical-pop song with notes of kizomba and calypso rhythms.
Lyrics/Letra:
Salí pa’ despejarme
Y ya cansada de estar apagada
Decidí prenderme
Cambié de amigos
Porque los que estaban solo hablaban de él
A las malas me tocó aprender
Que no tengo nada que perder
Y como ellos también
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal
Pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora
Puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal
Pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora
Puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
El día está pa’ bote y playa
El día está pa’ bote y playa
Y para pasarme de la raya.
En la arena sobre la toalla,
Ese plancito nunca falla.
Esta nena tiene fans
Y el corazón partío, como Sanz
Muchos son los que me tiran, pero
Pocos son los que me dan.
Soy selectiva, poca trayectoria,
Normal,
Por razones obvias
Al amor le cogí fobia,
Perro que me escriba pantallazo y pa' su novia
Nadie va a decirme cómo me debo comportar
Pueden opinar, pero
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal
Pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora
Puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal
Pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora
Puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
Con vista al mar, reservé el hotel
Ya me prendí con un solo coctel
Me puse poca ropa pa' mostrar la piel
La abeja reina está botando miel
Aun huele a verano aquí
¿Qué tiene de malo? Sí,
Eso es para usarlo y
Mi cuerpo está diciendo…
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal
Pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora
Puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
Aun huele a verano aquí
¿Qué tiene de malo? Sí
Eso es para usarlo y
Mi cuerpo está diciendo…
Aun huele a verano aquí
Y eso es para usarlo, si
Hoy algo me gano aquí,
Ay,
Ahh, se pasa rico soltera
Y ahora las lobas…
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal
Pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora
Puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
Ay que rico…mira que rico
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal
Pa’ pasarla bien
Pa’ que ese cabrón
Cuando me vea le duela
Se pasa rico soltera
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal
Pa’ pasarla bien
Pa’ que ese cabrón
Cuando me vea le duela
Se pasa rico soltera

No? Just me? Figures.
@MummaBear
Fortunately, the files themselves are saved in Dropbox (I made him do this years ago because I anticipated something like this was going to eventually happen). He just no longer owns a computer that can run Quicken 2002, so he can't access the files.
It's gonna be a long day.
Will give it a try. My current path is to try to get Quicken 2004 to run, then convert 2002 to a 2004 file. Then install Quicken 2013 (the last before they switched to subscription service) and then see if I can convert 2004 to 2013. That should keep him running for a while, at least.
He tends to think computers are like Star Trek - buy them once and they work forever without any problems or changes.

I am wasting my time this morning trying to fix a bathroom sink. Looks like the aerator is clogged, but it’s stuck and I can’t get the damn thing off.
Checked the supply lines and there is plenty of pressure, so the “clog” in the faucet must be in the line going to the outlet/aerator.
Currently soaking it in vinegar to see if there are any calcium/mineral deposits that have locked it up. If that doesn’t work, any other suggestions for getting the aerator off?
@eriner I don’t think I’ve ever removed the aerator since the faucet was replaced 13 years ago, mainly for this exact reason. I could never get it to turn while the faucet was in place.
I’ve made sure to regularly clean the one in the powder room, but the main bathroom is the realm of the women-folk. Lesson learned.

#GazaSoupKitchen Update on July 15, 2025 by #HaniAlmadhoun, Organizer
"Dearest allies,
Please know I’ve missed you these last three weeks as I was on the move again. From Boston to San Francisco, from Minneapolis to Sandy, Utah — we talked about #Gaza and the difference we can make in Gaza and for Gaza.
I thought to finally send you an update — long overdue.
#GazaSoupKitchen Update: The Sugar is $100, But Our Spirits Are Free
Dear friends, supporters, and fellow believers in the power of food and love,
We’re back with a dispatch from the heart of the chaos — Gaza. Where prices fluctuate faster than Bitcoin and the “sugar market” is apparently hotter than Wall Street.
True story: sugar in Gaza now costs $100 per kilo. A kilo of flour? That humble pantry staple you can buy in the U.S. for under a dollar? Here, it’s $20.
So how do we keep going?
We invented dynamic budgeting. No joke. Every kitchen’s daily budget shifts based on the price of lentils, pasta, flour, and oil. It’s like running a commodities exchange — but instead of investors, we have uncles with ladles and kids with empty plates. And somehow, we make it work.
We’re now operating 10.5 kitchens (yes, the half counts — it’s part-time but full of heart). These kitchens serve meals daily without fail. Our crew is now 60 strong, with most locations run by a team of six working around the clock, often with little sleep but lots of resolve.
We're also delivering clean water. And our “flexible food” initiative keeps rolling — think falafel wraps one day, fresh mulukhiya leaves the next, and even slushies for the kids. Sweetened not with sugar, but with cough syrup — because cough medicine is one of the few things that still has sugar. That’s where we are now.
Our classroom still runs three times a week, led by our amazing niece Fatema, bringing some structure, joy, and snacks to kids who deserve better than war.
Our medical point is treating up to 85 patients a day, and we send meals to the hospital daily. A warm plate of food might not fix everything, but it can give a parent or child just enough strength to hold on.
But behind every slushie, every lentil pot, there’s pain.
Yesterday, I lost my friend Murad and his entire family. Their tent was bombed. Murad and I went to elementary and middle school together. He was one of the smart kids — we competed for grades. He had a future, a wife, children. Now, nothing. Another bright light extinguished in a place full of ghosts.
And there’s another story that won’t leave me — a Palestinian woman sprinting through the camp in a panic, trying to find a spoonful of sugar for her husband who had slipped into a diabetic coma. She knocked on every tent. Nothing — no dates, no candy, no halva. She returned after 15 minutes to find him gone. He didn’t die from a bomb. He died from the blockade. From cruelty masked as policy.
Now people sweeten tea with canned pineapple syrup. That’s what survival looks like.
Still — we go on. Most of our operations focus on the west of Gaza, where nearly a million displaced Palestinians are sheltering. And we continue to show up. Even when the fire under the stove isn’t just metaphorical.
We’re hearing that more aid may enter Gaza by Thursday. If it does, prices could drop — even if just a little. That’s what hope looks like now: praying sugar costs less than gold.
We’re also speaking out — engaging the media, pushing back against disinformation, and confronting bad actors like the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. We will not rest until the people responsible for this suffering are held accountable.
We’ve never stopped. Not for a day. Not when we were displaced. Not when flour disappeared. Not when the skies rumbled.
---
And now, a call to action — from one human to another:
If you have the capacity to give, please consider sending a gift. No amount is too small when you're being starved. Your generosity helps us keep cooking, keep serving, and keep hope alive — one meal at a time.
Thank you for taking action for Gaza. And thank you for standing with us — and with organizations like #UNRWA, who continue to do critical, life-saving work in Gaza while under constant attack.
Your love and care are felt here every single day.
With sorrow, hope, and slushies made of cough syrup,
The Gaza Soup Kitchen Team
