As some of you may already know, I am not only Deaf, but I also have another disability, and that is I am in a wheelchair, so I am a wheelchair user, which I have been since between an age of 8 and 10, which is over two decades ago. I have written some articles somewhere on here that I mentioned my reason for being a wheelchair user, so some of you might know. Still, for those that don’t know, I wasn’t in a wheelchair after I was born since I mentioned I became a wheelchair user when I was 8 to 10 years old, but how that happened was that at the age of seven, I broke my femur in half on my right leg which is my strongest leg. I have a few friends who assumed that I am in a wheelchair because I am paralyzed from the waist down, but I am not paralyzed at all, and I can still feel both of my legs; I still can move my legs and whatnot, but after I get out of the hospital which I have spent for about a month I was in physical therapy to get myself back to walk again as I used to until that incident. For some reason, in physical therapy, everything was focused…

I hope that every one of you is doing well! I have not written an article in a long while, especially with more than a topic. I went through two holidays, I believe, which were Christmas and New Year. Many things have been happening around here that I could barely find any time to write an article or a review, especially amid these holidays and having to go to a few appointments or meetings – quite a lot in a short time! But here I am writing a new article for once. However, this article will take some time to complete and publish. When I write an article with more than one topic, I always take the time because I write for each topic at a time. Hopefully, some topics might be interesting for you to read, and as well, having something that you can read for a while or only read a topic, then take a break and come back to read another topic! As some of you know, I have called two different titles for an article like this, one with more than one topic, such as tidbits, and then I renamed it to snippets. After getting feedback from some people suggesting that it should have a better title than snippets and that the title should make more…
Today marked the 17th anniversary or birthday of JoshiesWorld as it was launched on August 7th, 2007! I cannot believe that JoshiesWorld has remained strong for over a decade and a half, especially since it’s been going for 17 years. JoshiesWorld wouldn’t exist this long or still be running without all of your support, and I am very grateful for all of the support you have given me/JoshiesWorld! I remember the night I decided to launch JoshiesWorld; when I did, it was not organized, and I struggled with multiple hack attempts. Back then, especially during the 2000s, launching and maintaining a website was difficult because the technology running websites wasn’t as good as today. Technology has greatly advanced the way websites can be maintained a bit easily. Anyway, it’s not just me who helped JoshiesWorld grow. JoshiesWorld grew and continues to grow thanks to all of you who continue to support JoshiesWorld by reading articles, reading reviews, and following JoshiesWorld on social media. I appreciate that more than you can imagine! Many have tried to be successful with theirs but couldn’t and gave up, but with your support, JoshiesWorld continues! Now that today makes JoshiesWorld 17 years old, I look forward to seeing where JoshiesWorld goes in another decade as long as I still have your support! Thank every one…
I know that this article comes very late (about two months), but between having a hectic schedule, dealing with other businesses, and taking the time to think more about this issue, here I am. With that said, I am taking my time slowly and writing as my thoughts process, but it’s important that even though it is very late, this conversation should continue because it is problematic. It is a mess. Now that the NFL Super Bowl LVIII (Super Bowl 58) is over, the teams that played in it were the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. Kansas City Chiefs was seed three, and San Francisco 49ers was seed 1. This Super Bowl LVIII between the Chiefs and 49ers was perceived to be a rematch because both of them made it to the Super Bowl (Super Bowl LIV) back in 2020, facing each other, and this Super Bowl (Super Bowl LVIII), they faced each other again. In the Super Bowl LIV in 2020, the Kansas City Chiefs won with a score of 31-20 against the San Francisco 49ers, and now this year, Super Bowl LVIII Kansas City Chiefs won again against the San Francisco 49ers with a score of 25-22. This was the Kansas City Chiefs’ back-to-back Super Bowl wins since New England Patriots with Tom Brady. This was…
A few businesses out there let us discover the family members we might need to be aware of; two of the most popular companies are Ancestry (also AncestryDNA) and 23andMe. They focus on finding our roots in our DNA, where our ancestry originated, what ethnicities we have, and getting help with our family tree. They would suggest or hint that someone might be my relative, so they added them to my family tree to let me know how they relate to me. Both of them have a tool that helps us find out where our ancestry root is and what we are in term of ethnicity. That tool I am talking about is that they would ship us a tube for us to take a spit in and then ship them back to them for them to do research in our DNAs to pinpoint what we are. Also, do we have family members we might not know? I went for both. I used 23andMe to find what I am, and then they will try to match my DNA with other family members I might not know. They would send a long list of different person names and compare my DNA with theirs, such as the percentage of the chance that we are related. I used Ancestry (they are also AncestryDNA)…
A few people told me I should write about my diet journey, where I have lost over sixty pounds, and how I did it, especially since I am a wheelchair user. It was a good idea to write an article about my diet journey in case some people wonder how I do it so that they learn from it and apply it to their diet. Before I start writing my diet journey here, I would like to make a disclaimer that I am NOT a doctor, a nutritionist, a dietitian, or an expert regarding diet. If you are seeking help with your diet, I recommend chatting with your doctor or getting yourself a dietitian or nutritionist. Also, what I did and how I did for my diet does not mean it would work for everyone else, as we are different. That is where the trials and errors come in until we know what works and what does not. But here is my diet journey, which was not easy! The Journey This wasn’t my first diet journey. I went on a diet a few years ago, which was in 2013, and at that time, before I went on a diet, I weighed around 160, then started losing to 94. At that time, my goal was 80, and I didn’t accomplish it…
As some of you know, what happened on Wednesday, October 25th? For the past few days, after discovering what happened on that tragic day, I have been thinking over and over about what to say or how to express myself. But I have been unable to; I could not find the words because I have been left speechless or signless. Should I say something or express something about what had happened? Because if I did, it wouldn’t reverse what happened that day. What happened on that day was pure evil and hit too close to home. We are used to seeing something like that happen often everywhere. What happened on October 25th is common here in the United States, but October 25th was different. What I mean by common is that we are seeing a lot of mass shootings happening all over the United States, and that a lot of lives were taken away from them. But it was different on October 25th, 2023, because on that day, there was a mass shooting in Maine, and we thought to ourselves that it was another mass shooting that we were so used to hearing or seeing until we realized it wasn’t. On that day, there was a mass shooting in the state of Maine in Lewiston where a man named Robert…
