Seeing some qs on what Gemini *is* (beyond the zodiac :). Best way to understand Gemini’s underlying amazing capabilities is to see them in action, take a look ⬇️
Celebrations erupted on Wall Street, New York City, on November 7th, 1918, following a premature report of Germany's surrender in World War I, just four days before the actual end. The misinformation originated from a lunchtime conversation between Admiral Henry Wilson, commander of American Naval forces in French waters, and Roy Howard, President of United Press.
Admiral Wilson relayed a report from a friend at the American Embassy, claiming an armistice had been signed. Roy Howard, seeing this as a groundbreaking news story, bypassed checks and censorship, even forging his foreign editor's signature. The story was transmitted to New York without scrutiny, stating the cessation of hostilities at 2 pm, eight minutes after the premature celebration photo was taken. Wall Street traders, the first to learn of the news, ceased trading at 1 pm.
As news spread, the entire city joined in celebrations. The New York Times later criticized the United Press transmission as "the most flagrant and culpable act of public deception." The Armistice treaty officially ended World War I on the eleventh day of the eleventh month at the eleventh hour in 1918.
So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!
