I'll pop in here every now and then because I still have things to say/share.  So, not retiring yet
Looking forward to the europtrip, turning dream into reality.  Always wanted to sit way up the calderas overlooking the Aegean Sea, wind blowing in my hair, etc... and see history, masterpieces of artwork we only read about in History books, places, etc... Yeah, looking forward

Yes it's possible..  I mean if other race can be friend with the opposite sex why can't us Hmong?  After all, we're the same human being?  Are we saying we hmoob people have less self control? We don't know our boundaries? We can't think for ourselves?  If other race can do it so can we.  Maybe we just never put it to the test or maybe we did but we just don't talk about it  OR maybe we're just too afraid to go outside our comfort zone.

These days there are many way to meet people not just the traditional route anymore.  Use dating apps, social media, interested related group, professional org, charity org, etc... people can be found everywhere except sitting at home.  As soon as you step out your door, there's people.  I think people should not be too focus on finding love rather just surround yourself with good people and love will find you.

Another Sriracha shortage could be coming. A severe drought is to blame.

Huy Fong Foods paused production of its spicy red Sriracha, blaming a chile supply that is “too green.” Jennifer Wunderlich can't recall the last time Huy Fong Foods' Sriracha sauce was in stock at her workplace, a New York-based specialty confections and gourmet food distributor.

General Discussion / True, some homeless folks don't want to be housed nor helped

..as they just want to be left alone and live off the grid:

Student who raised $400K for D.C. homeless man refunds money to donors

A college student who raised nearly half a million dollars for a D.C. homeless man says the money has now been refunded, a sharp reversal in a saga that drew widespread attention online.

In a series of TikTok videos posted last week, Sanai Graden explained she had lost contact with Alonzo Douglas Hebron, the man she met in late January on the streets of downtown D.C. After she posted a video of her getting his medication and paying for his hotel room, the 21-year-old college student and Hebron were catapulted into viral fame. Graden raised more than $400,000 on GoFundMe for Hebron, and several local outlets covered their story.

The college student remained committed to helping Hebron even after his violent criminal record, including an assault on another homeless woman, became public. But since The Washington Post reported on their story in March, Graden said she has had difficultly staying in touch with Hebron. He became evasive, ran through gift cards Graden provided him for food and lost the cellphone she purchased for him, she said.

“I really did try to help him,” Graden said in a video with more than a million views. “I tried to transform his whole life. But sometimes when you want something for somebody, they may not want that for themselves.”

Graden said she decided to return the money to her donors.

In a statement, GoFundMe confirmed that at the “request of the organizer, donors have been refunded” for Graden’s original fundraiser.

“Since the fundraiser’s launch, GoFundMe remained fully committed to helping deliver the funds raised to Mr. Hebron, just as the donors intended,” the company said. “However, without the cooperation of the organizer or the beneficiary, delivering these funds to Mr. Hebron has not been possible.”

Neither Graden nor her attorney responded to questions from The Post, including what Graden planned to do with the more than $25,000 raised in a separate GoFundMe for the college student’s expenses. Hebron also could not be contacted for this article.

Graden said her life as a California college student on a D.C. internship was upended when she met Hebron in Logan Circle. “I was a nobody,” Graden said in her recent post. “My life forever changed when I went on that walk to the grocery store, and I was stopped for tea.”

But as the GoFundMe began collecting funds from around the world, Graden said “the situation went from being positive to negative real quick.”

Hebron became harder to contact, and the unhoused man did not take steps to get identification, which she had encouraged. “Every time I asked about the ID, there was an excuse,” she said.

Eventually Hebron stopped contacting her, Graden said. She said she fell into depression and stopped focusing on her internship. “All I wanted was to get him housing, get him medical care,” she said. “There’s only so much I can do. I cannot force him to do certain things. At the end of the day, he’s grown.”

In her TikTok posts, Graden said now she is focusing on her upcoming college graduation.
