Mot: RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE
1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California and mine is in Texas.
3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen.
5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said "There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.

7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."
8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!".
10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'.
12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked, "What's on the TV?"
I said, "Dust!".

Mot: The woman shut up, and quietly sat down as though in a daze.
After 30 years of marriage, a husband and wife went for counseling.
The wife went into a tirade, listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married.
On and on and on, she went: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry-list of unmet needs she had endured.
Finally, the therapist (who, BTW, is a man), got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her, long and passionately, as her husband watched -- with a raised eyebrow.
The woman shut up, and quietly sat down as though in a daze.
The therapist turned to the husband and told him, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?"
"Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I play golf!"

The text of Sudanese’s speech:
Everyone anticipated congratulations to the workers of the world on their holiday, the first of May, wishing them and their trade union and labor organizations further progress and prosperity.
The world is witnessing crises whose impact has been reflected on the global economy and the social, psychological and economic situation of the peoples of the Arab Organization, and has negatively affected labor productivity.
The Arab Action Conference held in Baghdad bears additional responsibilities beyond those that previous conferences used to discuss.
It is necessary to work to improve the performance of labor market institutions and elements, and to build a qualitative relationship between educational outcomes and labor market needs.
Women must be attracted to work as a productive force that cannot be stopped, and child labor must be limited.
We stress the importance of adopting new production methods, raising the level of workers and institutions, creativity, innovation, and cooperation with modern technology.
Our current government has launched many strategies and initiatives that will improve the reality of work and workers.
We launched the “National Strategy to Reduce and Prevent Inequalities in the World of Work for 2024-2028” in cooperation with the International Labor Organization.
We launched employment and development initiatives for various categories, foremost of which is the “Riyada” initiative, to qualify young people and introduce them to the labor market.
The youth group represents 60% of our society, and is the backbone of the labor movement.
We established the Iraq Fund for Development with huge capital in order to create an investment environment that provides thousands of job opportunities.
The success of the Baghdad conference depends on the seriousness of the participation of the organizations of the three production parties and on social dialogue.
The government is working on drawing future visions regarding new economic sectors, such as the green economy, the digital economy, the knowledge economy, and the blue economy, that is, water bodies, rivers, and others.
We look forward to building modern business institutions; To achieve a qualitative leap in performance, legislation, oversight and occupational safety in a manner consistent with the goals of sustainable development.
Integration between Arab countries can provide a labor market that accommodates all those capable of working.
We launched the development road project, which will provide many job opportunities, through the industries that will be localized in the areas it passes through. link

7 Key Signs You Can Afford To Do What You Want When You Want
7 Key Signs You Can Afford To Do What You Want When You Want
Cindy Lamothe Fri, Apr 26, 2024,
There is perhaps no greater dream than having the freedom to do what you want when you want. For instance, being able to take that weekend trip, splurge on a fancy new wardrobe, or pay the tab on a large meal without worrying about your bank account.
All of these scenarios come from being financially free.
“Financial independence is a major milestone and something most desire to reach,” said Dayten Rynsburger, chief revenue officer and co-founder of Niche Capital CO.
If you can relate to that — and wonder how you’ll know when you have made it — here are a several key signs according to experts.

There is perhaps no greater dream than having the freedom to do what you want when you want. For instance, being able to take that weekend trip, splurge on a fancy new wardrobe, or pay the tab on a large meal without worrying about your bank account.
All of these scenarios come from being financially free.
“Financial independence is a major milestone and something most desire to reach,” said Dayten Rynsburger, chief revenue officer and co-founder of Niche Capital CO.
If you can relate to that — and wonder how you’ll know when you have made it — here are a several key signs according to experts.
You Can Put All Your Bills on Autopay
“One of my personal favorite benchmarks for financial freedom is when you can place all your bills on autopay and never have to worry about an overdraft,” said Carter Seuthe, CEO of Credit Summit.
“This is sort of a tongue-in-cheek measure, but I think it works. It means you have the financial freedom to know and trust your bills are covered, and that there’s a consistent amount of money in your accounts to allow for this.”
You Don’t Have Debt
“Being debt-free, including paying off all credit card balances, loans and mortgages, indicates financial freedom as it frees up income for other purposes and eliminates the burden of interest payments,” said Michael Benoit, certified finance expert and founder of ContractorBond. “For example, if someone has been able to pay off their student loans and credit card debt, they can now use that money to invest or travel without worrying about payments.”
Jonathan Feniak, general counsel at LLC Attorney, equally notes that having a low debt-to-income ratio is a big sign. “Individuals at the helm of their finances typically have a low debt-to-income ratio. They have managed to significantly pay off their debts or maintain a credit balance that is manageable relative to their earnings.”
He added, “Not all debts are created equal. When you’ve got expensive debts like credit cards and personal loans cleared, it’s a significant step towards financial liberation.”

You Have an Emergency Fund in Place
“I would point out that having a fully-funded emergency fund, typically covering 3-6 months’ worth of living expenses, provides financial security and peace of mind in case of unexpected expenses or job loss,” said Benoit. “For instance, if someone has an emergency fund and their car breaks down, they can pay for the repairs without going into debt.”

All Assets (In The System) Will Be Stolen | Bill Holter
Liberty and finance: 4-26-2024
Bill Holter joins us to discuss what could happen in a worst case economic scenario.
Assets remaining within the financial system are at risk, he says, and can legally be stolen to bailout (or bail-in) financial institutions.
FDIC insurance means little, he notes, given that by the time depositors would receive their insured funds, the Dollar could be worthless.
While many people are wary of investing in gold at these all-time high nominal prices, Holter says precious metals still provide insurance against financial chaos.
In addition, he argues the bull market in gold and silver is just getting started.
