Tips That Can Save Your Kid’s Life.

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.

If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.

Here are my ways on how to understand certain information during a discussion!

First of all, you should try your best to pay attention to what is currently happening with the other person as they speak and try your best to understand by using your own definitions! Pay attention to the information, not the voice.

Personally, I would usually ask the person to clarify what they are saying so that I don't get the wrong definition. It's not wrong to ask for confirmation! :D

Also, it is not wrong to ask questions about what the other person is saying. Asking question proves that you care enough to try and understand what they are talking about, do not be shy! There is a higher chance for them to appreciate that you are trying to connect and understand them!

Thank you for listening to my little speech! Have a good day :3

About loving you

Yes

I feel stranded

on a lonely island in the middle of nowhere

nothing but the tide

that keeps me alive

day after day

wave after wave

Yes

I feel lost

in space where darkness is everything

stars flying by gifting me wishes

that may never come true

knowing my only wish

will forever be you

Yes

I feel overlooked

in the middle of a field, branches twelve feet high

beetles crawling side by side

fearing getting crushed by them

missing the safety

of your arms around me

Yes

I feel love

wherever I am, no matter the time

it’s stroking my side

there’s no place to hide

it’s my true love for you

I just wish that you knew

Yes

I really do

Travel Safety: Preparing for Unexpected Situations and Staying Secure Abroad

Traveling to different countries can be an amazing adventure, allowing us to immerse ourselves in new cultures and landscapes. However, it's super important to focus on safety and being ready for anything when we're exploring places that are unfamiliar to us. Unexpected things can happen during our international travels, from small inconveniences to more serious emergencies. So, it's essential to get ourselves equipped with the right knowledge and precautions to handle these situations well.

1. Research and Planning:

Conduct thorough research on your travel destination. Familiarize yourself with the local customs, laws, and potential risks. Make note of emergency contact numbers and the location of your country's embassy or consulate. Plan your itinerary, accommodations, and transportation in advance to minimize uncertainties.

2. Travel Insurance:

Invest in comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost belongings, and other unexpected events. Verify the coverage details and ensure it aligns with your travel needs.

3. Secure Documentation:

Safeguard essential documents such as your passport, visa, tickets, and travel insurance policy. Consider making digital copies and storing them securely online or in a separate location from the originals.

4. Health Precautions:

Prioritize your health by visiting a healthcare professional for necessary vaccinations and medications related to your destination. Carry a basic first aid kit with essential supplies and any prescribed medicines.

5. Money Matters:

Diversify your financial resources by carrying a mix of cash, credit/debit cards, and traveler's checks. Notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid any unexpected issues with accessing your funds.

6. Stay Informed:

Stay updated on current events and travel advisories pertaining to your destination. Subscribe to alerts from reliable sources to receive real-time information about potential safety concerns.

7. Stay Connected:

Maintain regular communication with trusted individuals back home. Share your itinerary, contact information, and any changes in your plans. Stay in touch periodically to provide updates on your whereabouts and well-being.

8. Cultural Sensitivity:

Respect local customs, traditions, and cultural norms. Dress appropriately and avoid behaviors that may offend or violate local sensitivities.

9. Personal Security:

Be vigilant in crowded or unfamiliar areas. Keep your belongings close and avoid displaying signs of affluence that may attract unwanted attention. Use reputable transportation and exercise caution when exploring isolated or poorly lit areas.

10. Emergency Preparedness:

Familiarize yourself with the emergency exits and evacuation routes of your accommodations. Know the local emergency numbers and basic phrases in the local language to seek help if needed.

International travel can be a rewarding experience when approached with caution and preparedness. By conducting thorough research, investing in appropriate insurance, securing essential documents, and staying informed about your surroundings, you can mitigate potential risks and ensure a safe and enjoyable journey. Remember, prioritizing your safety and being prepared for the unexpected are key aspects of responsible travel.
