Activists in Tasmania have stuck up more honest promo stickers inside Coles & Woolworths stores, the two dominant supermarket chains in Australia.
So, my parents just told me you live in my county of residence, and I don't know how to feel about the fact that you live so close. I've never even seen a famous person in person, but now I'm learning that you live just around 10 miles from me? Stuff's crazy
I saw you at the supermarket but you didn’t see me!

My cheque I've been waiting a few months for and was supposedly delivered one week ago is now beyond a doubt either stolen or missing. (:
TL;DR: We need money for food and drinks/groceries for this month, but also a $580 form fee to grant me employment authorization so I can work in the US.
Okay so I've finally managed to acquire the necessary documents and paperwork to apply for ID so I am now eligible to fill out and mail the i-765 Request For Employment Authorization form, which if/when approved will mean I can both use that to apply for State ID (finally!), and seek traditional employment (in this stellar economy).
The only snag is that the fee to apply for the i-765 under my eligibility category is $580 USD. And given that I need to get this EAD card to get a job to have money, I obviously can't do that as things stand right now.
Ergo, I am requesting what should hopefully be my last endeavour for 2024 with regards to help, and if everything goes well, I hope to receive the EAD and begin applying for jobs sometime in the first few months of 2025.
This could prove to be a big lynchpin in getting a steady income and hopefully finally stabilizing ourselves for good, or at least make a lengthy and significant stride towards that ultimate goal.
The only other thing is we're out of food and drinks again, so any help with that for the month would be extremely helpful. Groceries is the top priority, followed by the $580 application fee.
If you can donate, boost, or spare anything, you could help us get into a position to start off 2025 strong and hopefully stay that way.
Please consider helping if you are able. Thank you. 💕💝❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜💖🤍🩶🤎🖤💞💘❣️

I can’t confirm that the promo code is still good (late-September 2019) because the signature box is currently out of stock. However, the normal price is about $20 for 30 lunch/dinner servings, plus side dishes, breakfasts, and snacks. Full Cart also has slightly larger and smaller options, which were in stock when I looked.
You can see what is included in each box at https://fullcart.org/get-started/. Clicking through to “what’s inside” or “learn more” for each box lets you see the size of the packages included and their ingredients.
Please boost this!
Time Management Strategies for a Busy Lifestyle
As someone with general anxiety, the worst feeling for me is being unprepared. It’s a sure way to send my stress through the roof. Over time, I’ve found that the best way to calm my anxiety is by facing my fears head-on and breaking them down into manageable steps. Planning and organizing everything I can has been a lifesaver.
In fact, I’ve created several documents and simple systems that help me stay on top of life’s chaos. Whether it’s throwing a party, hosting a garage sale, or meal prepping for the week, having a plan makes all the difference.
Here are a few strategies and tools I’ve developed:
Party & Event Planning
Back in high school, I learned a lot from Public Speaking class about organizing events. Since then, I’ve fine-tuned my approach to planning parties or gatherings. I break everything down into clear steps—like creating a guest list, planning food and drinks, and setting up a timeline for tasks. It’s all about avoiding last-minute scrambling.

A Simple Garage Sale Model
I created an easy and effective pricing system for garage sales that takes the guesswork out of it:
Small items = $1
Large items = $5
Not only does this model make shopping easier for customers, but it also prevents sneaky tactics like switching price stickers. Plus, with today’s rising costs, being "cheaper than Dollar Tree" makes it a hit!

Meal Prepping Made Easy
Finding time to cook or shop during a busy week can be overwhelming, but meal prepping has been a game-changer for me. I created a simple meal prep document to streamline the process:
Plan meals for the week – Stick to a few versatile ingredients that can be used in multiple dishes.
Order groceries online for pickup – Saves so much time compared to wandering the aisles.
Prep in advance – Chop veggies, cook proteins, and portion meals into containers.
Having meals ready to go reduces stress, saves time, and makes it so much easier to stick to healthy eating habits.
