I'd like to help anyway I can, regardless of how many problems there are. [editline]12th June 2015[/editline] I'm sure everyone else posting in the thread feels the same way.
You all are seriously helping me really, It's really a pleasant thought to open the generator at every night and see how many people in this community cares. If you all just see how innocent we are. That Ex President when he was a President he barely did anything really. He just wanted to be friends with the Rich and even made them Richer instead of Supporting his Country. The things Humanity do when you control the one that is already so weak, Do I wonder how I will feel when I finally get out of this place after so many years.
[QUOTE=Enola;47854971]Oh I thought you were allowed to eat something at like 4am, my memory is very vague. Thanks for sharing those details :)[/QUOTE] Only special cases, like young children, sick people, pregnant women and the elderly, are allowed to consume. Only when its necessary. [QUOTE=The Aussie;47857093]Actually intermittent fasting has been shown to have health benefits.[/QUOTE] That depends, because down here, many of my friends actually gain weight. Reason being, that they consume a shitload of carb heavy food before sunrise, and then during sundown, they consume alot again. [editline]13th June 2015[/editline] And update, bad news, sources are saying the Saudi air force bombed some of the UNESCO heritage sites: [IMG]http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/media/images/83594000/jpg/_83594446_beforeandafter.jpg[/IMG] [url]http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-33111424[/url]
Today's News: The Rebels refused go to Geneva because they didn't get better Chairs, also because they wanted Larger Positions. So we fucked. Also Bombing is now a problem again.
Might be time to tape up those windows. Even with shitty tape it might be better than nothing. It doesn't really hurt to try, right?
Today's News: I have decided that My cats are assholes, and for some reason I have the feeling of not leaving my bed at all. Also I tried to draw today, I drew a circle, tried to put facial expression, I failed, I gone to bed being upset while eating cookies and than all the sudden fall asleep had a weird dream where OUYA Became successful. I think am having one of those days. Also the explosions stopped.

Was lurking around this thread a few weeks ago. I'm glad it's still around - in a way where OP is still posting updates.
You know living in a Post Apocalyptic Civil War while having no electricity for basically 24 hours, except the fact that I use the generator for 2 hours only at night just to charge devices. And the Fact that am going to try to be an Animator who's goal is actually making an Animation Show that isn't popular by Sex Jokes,intense none sensible violent and over done breast implants which in all honestly I forget that these type of animation exists, But wait you need Money and actually effort to do That. Also the fact that all I have is an 20 year old sketchbook that hasn't been used for years and the whole time am trying to improve myself by using that. Including the fact that 4 months ago that I ordered Books made by motherfucking Preston Blair which idiotically decided that I should deliver it to Dubai to my Sister so I can get their in a Holiday because the Yemeni post office is made of shit. More that is the fact that I have to shower every 3 days using a fucking Bucket because apparently we forgot that the Heaters used something that is made by using an Electrons to one atom to another which is called fucking Electricity. Rather then that this Phenomenon states that am wasting my Summer Holiday in War, Because why not, It's something fucking new atleast. I actually kinda miss playing video games though. Oh right no news, just basic depression things.
I actually got a bit too upset yesterday. Sorry. Today's News: So remember how the Houthis said no Deal to make peace, so they still went to Geneva. They still didn't do peace, so we basically still fucked. Also there's this Overseer man on the news who's supposed to be someone important about the war but whenever the reporter asks him a question, he just says something unrelated. Currently my Mother is calling him a cunt for that matter. Also there were dropped out school 7 year olds outside my house, they just moving around, Politic people to death and being angry at random people, like imagine a raid of 7 years old with tea and angrily talks about politics and telling people that they hate their ass. Apparently for some odd reason there were gun fires really close, like literally on the exact line of my street, it just happened twice, Did someone get Shot? But atleast today I found something lovely. Apparently when I was searching the attic for old things or basically cleaning, I found something. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/pCSGj3x.jpg[/thumb] It turns out it was a PSP 1000, one of the oldest models it seems, as common sense happens, I had to charge it yesterday since something this old not being used should mean the battery is low. So today I opened it up, and it asked me to set the date. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/QRewGUR.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/a9tm7xW.jpg[/thumb] [I]Hello Darling[/I]
daaaaaaaaaaaamn i haven't seen one of those in ages i remember my brother used to have one of those, they're mad neat good find, ese
I guess the question is if the battery is any good. If so, you got something to keep you occupied for a bit during the day.
Today Ramadan has started and boy it's not going to be as fun as last year. As for the news, So apparently the Houthis Rebels didn't like our religion about Ramadan and yelled at the people for praying the special event for the Ramadan. After that half of their headquarters were blown off. [I]By Our Yemeni Citizens[/I]
Today's News: I feel tired as shit the whole morning with headaches that was as powerful as some weird plot device from a zombie game that keeps reminding that you infected but you actually not for some reason So apparently the Houthis still went to Geneva to do this whole conservation with some global people. As they started talking they kept talking as if they are innocent and that Saudi Arabia missiles are Satan spawn, as the Brother of the leader Houthis kept talking like that a Aden Woman took her bloody boot off and throw it at his bloody face and said. *Innocent? How about the whole fucking murder you did to Aden, Causing the Tunk Disease* Apparently this is something I forgot, this disease which we named it in Arabia the word Tunk, is an impossible to cure disease, which only happens if you have a huge amount of bodies and you still living with them. So basically since Aden is most of it is dead, no food supplies and 10 times worse than what am currently having, most of the time 20 person a day dies of this Disease in Aden. As for the world news goes, apparently there are random raids of kids who kept throwing fire crackers at houses. Other then the fact it's annoying, but also the fact that most of the houses owns a Generator powered up by Petrol is kinda of a big problem. I swear when I get out of this place I will be a Cave Man to Everything.
Well then apparently due to the news of fallout 4, I might actually have my own version of fallout in real life. The news has said to us with troubling news. 1. Electricity will never be fixed at this moment. 2. Petrol are now scarred dramatically. 3. Our Fridge is not cold anymore and most of our food will be rotten soon. Honestly, Fuck my life.
I hate to say it, but I think you, or someone you're living with, should get a gun, if you haven't already. If things get violent, you'll at least have some protection, and maybe hunt if food is low and you can't get anything from anywhere else, but I don't know what wildlife is like.

[QUOTE=.Greninja;48006526]I don't think dirty infected cats are a good idea as hunting materials though, plus getting a gun would just make people act more suspicious around me.[/QUOTE] I was talking more about anything in the wild, like rabbits or deer or something, but I'm guessing you don't have those around. And yeah, maybe a gun wouldn't be the best idea in this scenario. That was a dumb idea, sorry.
This is just more of a curiosity than anything, because the idea would probably be an all around poor choice for your situation, But I'd still like to ask: Have you ever thought of joining the Army, or a militia of sorts, anything that'd let you take the fight to the Houthis, or at least aid the fight against them? AGAIN, not saying you should, it is a terrible idea since you have a family who would worry even more about you, but I was just curious if it may have crossed your mind at one point or another, even as just a passing idea. Just figured it might pop in to your mind at some point, considering it doesn't seem like you have much to do besides sit and think, I'd imagine a million crazy ideas to change your situation would have passed through your mind by now. Glad to see you still posting man, can't wait to read what you'll have to say once this is all over. : )
I just came by this thread today and read through the whole thing, my god dude, i am glad you stood strong up until now and i want to wish you the best of luck for the future.

[QUOTE=DatGman;48007063]I just came by this thread today and read through the whole thing, my god dude, i am glad you stood strong up until now and i want to wish you the best of luck for the future.[/QUOTE] Thank you, I appreciate your support a lot. The reason am posting now is because I have a Repair man at home and we just opening the generator just so he can check the Fridge.
Today's News: Apparently the Houthis who went to the confrontation to do this peace that never worked anyways, Are literally clueless, they were asked to bring 7 people instead the Houthis brought 20, some of them just gone in to walk and others just want to get away from the war *Yeah irony* But am sure anyone who google searched should know the peace commitment didn't happen so am still in hell. as for our Life Discovery Channel: Since we seem to have more Rubbish than usual, weird things start coming like this little spider. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/YPBXEBw.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/5FbJQxk.jpg[/thumb] This one was a little jumpy too, as I was watching it slowly moving, only for the spider to Jump out of fear and get interrupted By this Creature. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/Q6jQXUb.jpg[/thumb] Oh well, it's like there's anything else to do, Time for the anxiety to kick in.
Although I haven't been posting in this thread, I just want you to know that I'm still reading everything you post here. Stay strong!
Remember that Aden Girl who was in the confrontation for peace who threw a boot to the Houthis. The Houthis Bombed her house. Oh dear.
Early post: The news are literally giving us a Recap of all the shoes thrown at confrontation from the past to the present. They are calling it Shoe Throwing War Compilation.
[IMG]http://www.selleys.com.au/assets/560/shoe-2.jpg[/IMG] Never forget
Playing this war of mine and then reading this thread is scary shit, its the exact same. Man, I really hope this shit ends soon and that everything works out for you, but I also worry about the lasting aftereffects of this shit
I been having anxiety and throwing up, I literally can't hold myself. What is happening to me?
Am alright, I think I just had food poisoning so am alright, I think. Apparently we still in war of course but atleast all the actions are happening in Aden so basically Sann'a is safe so that we can celebrate Ramadan while having as low causality as possible. But it doesn't help the fact now a huge army of children are arming themselves with fire crackers and fire works all over the place, so I don't know if we either being bombermaned or we being pranked. But we also have to keep note that Sann'a is captured by Houthis, since we basically just surrender cause we didn't even own an army in the first place. But one thing for sure now, Am building my house into a Vault Tec. Let's see how that turns out.

Anyway, stay safe out there.
