You could find a fan or some other source of noise. I have trouble sleeping in dead silence so I always either keep a fan on. Of course with your power situation that might not be the best option.
So I just watched a video of a bunch of men throwing people off the roof.
The building was familiar until I realised the building was in this city.
and since the news of ISIS being here I remembered that ISIS thrown off Homesexual people off the roofs months ago.
Well I, really can't comment anymore..
I also saw a video of the houthis attacking tanks on the Saudi border with ATGMs and RPGs. They are just asking for a full scale invasion.

Its like they want to get their asses kicked in. Like literally, why the hell would you want to piss off one of the largest powers in the Middle East?
A comment from a yemen war video "To Hell with Saudi Arabia! I sincerly hope that the Houthi obliterate them. The Saudi's deserve to reap what they've sown. Saudi Arabia you've sown the wind now reap the whirlwind!"
Jesus people are idiots.

Stay safe, especially with those psychos in town.
Honestly I decided to do something mad, Seeing the air strikes at the air blowing up our country piece by piece, seeing the flames that coming out.

Well I was trying to do draw a Gengar where am 80 percent done,realised I couldn't draw the other foot, became upset and I decided to play Killing floor 2 to experience next gen Fat flopping man breasts.
Other then that, one of my levers which suppose to hold on one of the 3 systems (I might post it later to explain more), Got burned down so we had to get a new one.
Basically if you live in Yemen you become an IT engineer automatically after 5 years.
Apologise I didn't post these days since I haven't really got anything other then they exploding outside and didn't vomit because of anxiety.
I wonder who the hell gave fireworks to children at the middle of the war.
I can't figure out we getting bombed or we getting fire cracked.
Nothing more fun then listening to what seems to be harmless cracks fire or your doom.

Yea, that's usually a problem. Hopefully it's just kids messing around.

I figure out how to find out the difference.
If you sitting down practicing art, and you realise your butt is shaking and that you hear cars horning around including windows experiencing pregnancy issues with air.
That's a sign you got to low the fuck down.

Yea, that's usually a bit bigger than a firecracker... usually a jdam, or whatever bombs the Saudi Aircraft use. Wish there was a way to get you a safe room or bomb shelter for your house.
Another Day, Another Routine.
Wake up at morning and check the battery line on the solar system.
Start practicing art and maybe even clean up a bit.
Hear the constant bombing, and asking myself if it's Monday or Thursday.
Shake it off and Continue working.
Get headaches and get disturbed which causes me to lay on bed. (I kept getting headaches these days which annoys me more than anything)
Tries to rest a bit but I sometimes fell asleep by accident.
Hear the fire crackers being used by random children gangs, we already told the guards to throw them off so they don't hit any petrol (The neighborhood has plenty of generators that uses petrol)
Hear the constant bombing again and again.
Times comes and finally able to eat, open up the battery, and maybe even play some single players games to cheer me up.
Stay up late, constant bombing and fire crackers, there is no best time to sleep but now
Constant bombing and fire crackers.
Wake up at morning and check the battery line on the solar system.
Another Day, Another Routine.
What a Lovely Summer this will be.
The Houthis currently control Sanaa, right? Are they letting anyone in or out of the city? Have they tried to mess with anyone you know?
[QUOTE=Hamaflavian;48136536]The Houthis currently control Sanaa, right? Are they letting anyone in or out of the city? Have they tried to mess with anyone you know?[/QUOTE]
They stole several cars, stole/took petrol from innocent people and raided Stores for money. The only one family related incident is the cars.
Also for letting anyone In and Out, you would think that if I can go Out I wouldn't be here in the first place?.
Those headaches might be something to worry about.
How much water are you drinking?
[QUOTE=Psychokitten;48138665]Those headaches might be something to worry about.

2/3 bottles I think, I only able to drink after 6:30pm which is when we are allowed to eat, Remember we are in Ramadan at the moment.
There's nothing more interesting than hearing noises outside your door,at night, and find a severed head of a baby doll behind that door.
That isn't suspicious at all.
Not fucking creepy at all.

I'd recommend taking a look at your urine. If it's amber colored, add another bottle to your daily intake.
Also, how many ounces/milliliters per bottle?
[QUOTE=Pilot1215;48145686]Stay safe, that could mean something.[/QUOTE]
Considering he said there had been kids lighting fireworks and stuff, one would think it was just children, this guy has enough things to worry about, no need to get spooked anymore over something that really probably doesn't mean a thing. If rebels wanted him or his house, they'd have taken it already.

Well basically the children are being more annoying than usual, I even seen them burning up a huge amount of rubbish outside our doors, including heavier fire works that just makes me spazz out every once awhile.

Uh most of the time the urine is either slightly light yellow or just basically water color in general.
One bottle is 0.75 L so I believe that means 750 milliliter per bottle.
Today we found a dog that we saw yesterday, either we found a nice pup or his just waiting for the perfect moment to murder us.
They're probably stress induced headaches.
Of course, none of us are doctors, and we don't know exactly what conditions your body is under.
My heart goes out to you Greninja, and I wish you the best. Thank you for continuing to share your story with us.

Hold your horses lad, I pretty sure the only disease am currently afraid of are bullets and explosions, am currently fine
I apologise that I haven't post much am just working on something.
Anyhow news said that there might be another peace meeting again, that will happen at midnight.
It's obvious really, if there's no air bombs tomorrow then it's currently happening but if there is then basically the peace meeting didn't go well or a lie.
Let's see how that turns out.
Hope everything works out soon. Yemen's got a whole host of problems already. It's probably going to be the first nation to run out of water, it's the poorest in the middle east, it's got huge problems with safety that drive all the tourists away (I would love to go to Yemen, but it'd need to be at least Cambodia level safe before i'd go), and domestic terrorism. A civil war is just going to fuck up the situation more. Why can't your government be a little more like Oman? That isn't a rhetorical question by the way, I'm genuinely curious about what limitations are preventing Yemen from becoming a successful Arab state.
[QUOTE=The Aussie;48165342]Why can't your government be a little more like Oman?[/QUOTE]
Wait, We have a government?
Are you actually telling me that the government that I find none existing by the way, should do something [I][B]useful[/B][/I].
after 5 years of pathetic agony that the government can't even maintain a way to have electricity for 24 hours for the citizens.
You honestly believe that Limitation is the reason that prevents the success of this place?
The limitations that you call, are always caused by either terrorism or greed, hell the Ex President just took all the money and gave money to people who had no relation to this place, even people who use the excuse of religion as a way to describe their actions, always destroying something that has been fixed only to become an overwhelming chore.
The economy of the government way is a joke, I literally laugh when they tell me a good is happening from the government.
There is a Reason other than the historic past that there is a War, the place is a bloody bunch of rust of scrapes, is basically easy to be taken by anyone at this moment, might as well put a sign on top of it for sale.
Now am going to stuff my face with cookies.
I feel you man, as a Syrian civilian, its a pretty shitty feeling.
Although I migrated out of the country before the serious stuff started.
Not the best feeling that I haven't seen my country/family since 4 years and that my family who's still there is slowly dying.
