I have unfortunate news for everyone in Belfry, KY; Williamson, WV; and the surrounding area: we didn’t want to expect it, but we did. One of the stores we liked going to for many years is closing because it always had good deals on the products it sold. The store I am talking about is Save-A-Lot in South Williamson, KY. More than three employees at Save-A-Lot, whom I will not name, shared with us that the store is on its way to closing and that it would be lucky to make it to September. The employees there said that Save-A-Lot no longer restocks and will continue to sell whatever it has left until it closes. A few employees at Save-A-Lot have said they are already looking for a new job or have found one ahead of time before Save-A-Lot closes. While it’s well known that competitors such as Walmart and the rebuilt Food City hurt Save-A-Lot badly, what put the nail in its coffin was the refusal to fix the bridge you would drive across to get to Save-A-Lot. That bridge was destroyed a few years ago, and the property owner refused to allow anyone to repair it, which hit Save-A-Lot hard in the long run and now results in its closure. This confluence of challenges, especially the prolonged bridge…
JoshiesWorld celebrates this milestone with each of you. Today, July 4, 2026, marks the 250th birthday of the United States of America, which declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776. We only get to celebrate a 250th birthday once, and I hope that fifty years from now, we’re still around to celebrate the 300th together. But even though America is an independent country, there is no true freedom here until everyone — regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religion, age, disability, or class — is free from their oppressors. As long as any oppression exists, freedom can’t. No one is free until we are all free. The Declaration of Independence says “all men are created equal,” and the Constitution opens with “We the People.” That means all of us. This country isn’t mine, and it isn’t yours. It belongs to everyone, and it’s a home to everyone, including the Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) community. America was built by our ancestors’ hands, immigrants included, and now it’s our hands that keep building it for future generations, for better or worse. The Founding Fathers aimed to form a union in which we, the people, would have justice and liberty. As long as we stay united, our democracy endures, and we, as Americans, have a duty to…
Here we are with another Mix article! I have been adding more topics that I would like to write about for an article, so here I am to write a new Mix article. I usually have a bit of difficulty thinking of something new to write about because I feel I have exhausted so much that there is nothing new for me to write about. Still, lately I have started thinking about or coming across some things I would like to write about more and more. For some reason, it seems my brain has become more active, which has led me to come up with something I would like to write about. I am starting to get a little more motivated to write some articles or reviews now, so who knows if I end up writing more than usual in the next few months. Even though I am starting to think of more things to write about, I would greatly appreciate it if some of you could continue to pass along information to me or suggest a topic for the next Mix article or a separate/single article. Mix 06-12-2026 So, here is the list of the topics for this Mix article, and I hope that at least one of them or more topics that you would enjoy reading! Plus, they…

Useful research tools for researching the Deaf community There are a few places you can find data or information about the Deaf community, and here is one I think is a very useful tool for researching or analyzing it.

I have decided to start drafting the new Mix article. There are a few topics I would like to address. I hope there are at least a few topics you might be interested in reading about in this new Mix article. Here is the list of topics that will be mentioned. I have no idea when I will publish this Mix article, and I also don’t know how many topics it will end up including, because I sometimes add a few more after I’ve already saved the topics I had planned for the Mix article or a separate article. If you prefer to read only a few topics you may be interested in instead of the entire article, you can do that by clicking the topic you want to read, and it will take you directly to that topic. Or if you don’t have enough time to read the entire article, you can come back to this article at a later time, and press/click the topic where you stopped so that you can resume reading this Mix article. Mix 02-19-2026 Topics List. Let’s start with me first! Lately, I am doing a-okay. Not too long ago, I went to my semiannual check-up (every half a year), and I was honestly dreading it because I knew I was overdue for a…
