@choo_ek This reminds me of when a friend of mine was divorcing her husband who was a bully, she came to stay with me 3'000 away. He called her wondering where there car was. She parked it long-term at the airport and both sets of keys were in her purse! I almost died laughing!

@imanistan @nebulouswonder My nextdoor neighbors are a family of 8, Refugees from Kabul, Afghanistan. They've been here almost 3 years. The first 6 months, the kids slept with the lights on, they were terrified. If you want to help, ask if there is anything you can do to help, ask what they need. Be kind.
