There are some problems with IOMMU and Expansion card and hope it might correlate. However, there weren't such problem with AMD 5600g at all, but there were another even bigger one (short story long: boot drives were disabled/failed at the same time when I've run VM with passthrough PCIe to 2.5Gib Ethernet card) .
Now, hardware:

• Intel i5 12500
• MSI B660M with latest BIOS
• 128 gb non ECC memory
• Expansion card PCIe to SATA
• 7x WD Red Pro 10TB, 4 x SATA Kingston SSD 120GB, 2x NVMe Samsung Evo plus 980

​
3x WD and 2x Kingston are connected to Expansion card and Proxmox cant list them. However, it shows the card. At the same time there are no IOMMU groups, but VT-d, VT-x and something that reminds IOMMU are enabled.
About IOMMU in BIOS, there is the thing that is called "control iommu pre-boot behavior" which is enabled.

By the way, all of these drives that are not showing work. I've connected them to the mobo and then formatted. The first option that come up with buy HBA or another card to SATA, but I want to know if there is software solution.

Miscellaneous
Also, feel free to message me with any questions.

should it really matter that much what my mbti is? to the point where I'm obsessing and ruminating and reading and it's become practically compulsive? no, no it does not matter that much. I am well aware of that. however, my need to make sense of all of this is overriding my brain's warning lights saying "hey chill out pls". to be fair I ignore those warning signs fairly often when I have a question that needs answering. yall don't want to know how often I read wikipedia in rush hour traffic.
tldr - I am aware that my obsession is unhealthy but it will take years of therapy that I'm not going to to rid me of the both impulsive and compulsive need to understand things, so if yall would indulge me and try to type me, I might finally obtain peace for a little while
sometimes my neuroticism truly shines through. I am genuinely cringing at myself a little bit right now.
okay, so a description of me. I'm not sure where to start. I guess I'll start with ADHD. I got diagnosed with that a couple of years ago, unfortunately after I'd already graduated from college. I don't really have any regrets in life, because I'm generally content with the present, and everything that has happened in my life has led me to whatever the moment I'm experiencing is. And at any point, if I'm not content, I know that will only drive me in the direction of once again being content, in which case the above statement is relevant again. All of that being said, while I don't technically regret anything, I do sometimes wonder what college would have been like if I'd been diagnosed earlier in my life.
I originally went to college for astronomy, with the hopes of being a cosmologist. That was what I had decided I wanted to be at some point in high-school. Directly before that, I think it was architect. Before that, author. That would have begun in 4th grade and lasted through middle school. Before that, paleontologist, although I did find archeology fairly interesting too.
But back to college - I managed to pass the quiz taken after acceptance to college that determined whether or not I'd be able to skip the basic math classes and go directly to calc with analytical geometry. this was a m i s t a k e. the last math class I took before college was precalc in 10th grade. so it had been a couple of years since I'd done any math. I also felt like I never really learned how to do algebra or geometry, as I took those classes in 7th and 8th grade, and all I really remember is that the teacher was pregnant for a long time, quitting her soda addiction for a long time, and would leave us all in the room by ourselves for a long time. I have very few memories of actually doing math.
on top of that, I'm aggressively prone to "careless" mistakes. a couple of weeks ago I decided to try and take an algebra class on coursera, and I felt like I understood everything very well and was sure I'd aced the week 1 quiz. I was very confused when I finished it and had made a 60%. the reason for that...... made me want to hit my head against the table (I didn't, but I did smack myself in the head with my hand). Basically, every mistake i made was along the same lines as this one: what's 1-4+4? well, 4+4 is 8, and 1-8 is -7. but wait, why did I add 4 and 4 first instead of subtracting 4 from 1, since the order of operations would dictate that I simply solve from left to right as subtraction and addition are at the same "level" of the order. The answer is because I am a dumbass who, for some reason, does not stop to think when I'm rushing because I think I'm doing well. Instead, my dumb lizard brain was like ah, yes! 4 and 4 are the same number! do those numbers first! that makes sense!
ok I feel like I'm going into far too much detail here. anyway, all of that being said, I was nowhere near ready to take calculus. I was even less ready to take calculus at the same time as physics, even less so to take the higher level entry level courses, as I did because my guidance counselor told me I would not graduate on time if I didn't. Well, maybe she should have considered that I would not graduate on time if I ended up having to take physics 1, calc 1, and calc 2 twice each per class. I was a "gifted kid" who hadn't taken a math class in two years, slept through my AP exams because I didn't see a point in passing them to get the college credit, and had never really studied because I either didn't need to in order to understand the material or didn't need to in order to do well enough to get Cs and ignore my parents orders to not use my computer for a month as punishment, because how could they enforce that when I had several hours to myself at home each day? again, probably too much detail, the main takeaway here is that I had absolutely eviscerated my GPA within my first two years of college. It didn't help that during this time, I switched my major to computer science, because I was too bad at math to do physics lmao (I failed out by the end of the second semester)
Anyway, I took summer classes and got back in. At this point it was a "I need to graduate however I can" situation, so I changed my major to what had always come easiest to me: English. I didn't really know what an English degree involved. I certainly wasn't planning on teaching, I can barely stand the vast majority of children (to the point where I finally got a bilateral salpingectomy last year - in other words, no child-bearing for me!). So, not really knowing what to expect, I got extremely lucky and landed in the classrooms of teachers who, even at the lower levels, were implementing literary criticism in their classes.
My second semester in the English program, I managed to get into a senior-level class called Ireland and Ecocriticism. This class opened doors that I didn't know existed. The amount of information that my brain would process between that class and the other criticism classes I'd take was like a drug. My capstone class ended up being an overview of lit criticism as a whole, and all we really did in that class was read philosophy/essays. I honestly barely did the readings, but because I did so well in the discussion element of the class, I often got "I know you can do better than this" from my teacher on my reading response writing assignments. it was something I'd read before. but, the spin I put on it only fueled my ego - if my discussions in class are that good even when I haven't read the readings, then that's a good thing, right? Not to say I didn't love the actual reading element (I'm actually reading an academic text on the drama of Yeats right now and its giving my brain the very good chemicals). I did, I just didn't do it in the same way I didn't do any of my homework. But I did well in the discussions because I can break down the language being used into "this makes sense" or "this doesn't make sense", and sometimes "but wouldn't this be an implication of that?". Those classes made sense to me because I could utilize logical structures and check for consistency. I did well in that environment for the same reason I made an A on my circuits exam in physics 2, as opposed to making a D or lower like on all of the other exams. It just made sense. I didn't really have to try to understand any of it, I just did.
Which brings me back to wondering what college would have been like if I'd been medicated for ADHD during any of it. If I had tried, would I graduated with a physics major? Would I have continued and gotten my masters degree? Maybe. But again, I really am happy with the way things turned out. Because the thing is, even when I "wanted to be a cosmologist", I didn't really know what that meant. I was just fascinated by physics and by the unknown aspects of how the universe works. But now, because I failed at so much, I feel like I have direction in my life for the first time since my parents stopped giving me direction on the day I moved into my first college dorm room. No, I don't use my degree, which ended up being English with a concentration in literature - which was essentially just an applied philosophy degree.
Instead, after going through several food and bev jobs, spending several years as a bread baker and then as a pastry chef, I decided I was finished with those kinds pf jobs and managed to get hired as a barista by a small coffee roaster and cafe. This is the current phase of my life, and despite that there are certainly still aspects of my life that I struggle with (like I'm not living self-sufficiently in a house secluded in nature), I am by far the most content and fulfilled that I have ever been. Over the past few years, before working at my current job and for a while after starting here, I was going through a fairly constant stream of different things I wanted to try and go to graduate school for. I got into fermentation for a while, so I thought ok, maybe biochemistry? I absolutely love psychology and will hyper-fixate on aspects of it for several weeks at a time every now and then, inhaling as many research papers as possible, as quickly as possible, so maybe psychology? But I read such a fascinating book on wetlands, maybe ecology? Or hydrology? Hydrology makes sense, it combines chemistry and physics and ecology and so many other subjects that I'm interested in! But wait, circuits made so much sense to me, and I loved working with logic gates, so maybe I should try electrical engineering?
You guys get the picture. I'm sure I'm forgetting subjects. And yet still, at the same time, I was so conflicted about going to graduate school and having a career at all, because all I really want is to just exist, free from the constraints of society, laws, and culture. I just want to exist. I want to grow my own food, make everything I need from clothes to plates, grow my own fibers and process them into cloth, and uhhh essentially live in a fantasy world video game I guess. Despite knowing that this is not a dream that can be fulfilled to the extent that I want it to be, it isn't something I've let go of. I do still want a house out in nature, and I want to live a solitary life. I do have a partner, and I do want them by my side, but I really, truly crave autonomy and simply being by myself. And I know it isn't something that I only think that I want - some of the other happiest times of my life have been when I lived by myself, didn't have any friends, and only worked part-time. I lived in a duplex on the side of a mountain, surrounded by trees, and I'd just sit out on my porch with coffee and read for half of the day.
Anyway, I'm getting side-tracked again. Back to my job. So now, I roast coffee. And I have just absolutely fallen in love with coffee. I don't even know how to begin to explain this. There's the sensory aspect - cupping coffees, figuring out flavor notes and identifying tastes, and trying very expensive, well-roasted coffees that don't even taste like coffee. I've had coffee that tasted like apple cider. Literally, like apple cider. Another one was like peach tea. Both of then were anaerobic-processed coffees, and the world of experimental coffee processing is becoming almost painfully fascinating. It's like my obsession with fermentation from several years ago, but taken to both a higher and broader level. Because after the processing stage, where the fermentation happens, you have the roasting stage. And the science going into the process of roasting right now, oh my god there's so much. Me and the owner of the business have half-jokingly talked about buying lab equipment like a spectrometer and actually making a lab to try and engineer roasts using identification of desirable flavor compounds. And then there's the brewing aspect, which is its own thing. There is just so much. And it's not a "well maybe I can go into this" type of situation, I'm already in the industry.
So, this is where I can tie back in the sense of direction that I finally have. Either I stay in the industry, learning as much about roasting as possible, or I go back to school for chemical engineering in order to, still, learn as much as I can about roasting. As much as I adore fermentation science, I don't think I'll ever work at that level as I prefer very cool environments and snow, and I don't think I can get much of that around coffee farms. So, I'm planning to stay at the roasting level, but I'm hoping that in a few years I'll be able to study it with an even deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind what's happening.
I've written so much and I feel like all I've talked about is career-focused stuff. I have no idea if anyone will read all of this. But at this point my hands are cramping so I'll quickly add some small bits. As a kid, I spent a lot of time in the woods. I was never afraid of the woods or afraid of getting lost. Even now, most of my favorite videogames involve a high degree of exploration and a high degree of crafting. Caves of Qud, for example, is about as close as I've found to my perfect game. I love playing the tinker class and taking things apart to learn schematics for artifacts and building and modding. I have a book on modding game boys so I'm hoping to start doing actual real-life versions of that kind of thing soon too. I have two huskies and two cats, and I adore them. I love the challenge of training my huskies and learning how to communicate with them. I also live with my partner, who is without any doubt Ne dominant, which sometimes makes me feel like screaming because of the endless unnecessary details and stream of consciousness rambling but HEY I do those things when I'm writing so I mean ?? what can I say. I do tend to ramble when I talk as well, but more from being unable to speak in order, and then having to go back and give context, and then never feeling like I've really given enough context or explained what I mean in a way that really conveys my meaning how I want it to.
Okay uhhh what else. I had an angry atheist phase for maybe around half a decade starting in middle school, then was agnostic atheist, and now I uhhh have no idea. I used to hate Descartes, like what are you talking about my dude? Obviously reality exists? Obviously we can empirically prove things? But about a year ago I found myself taking a stance that aligned with what I hated about Descartes about a decade ago. Now, yeah, I don't technically think anything can be proven. Sure, I "believe" in reality, but I don't think it can be proven to exist. Any empirical data that we have relies on the premise that reality is real in the way that we experience it. Math is something that we just sort of invented in order to describe certain patterns in what we experience, or what we call "reality". And yeah, a lot of it makes sense, but only if the premise that allows for it to make sense is true....if that makes sense? I have trouble translating a lot of this stuff from my brain to language. Do I believe in a higher power? Not exactly, but not exactly no. ugh ok I feel like I could write for another hour at least but my hands are actually hurting now. Also!! The YouTube video (horrotrue crime type stuff) just mentioned determinism which I was about to kind of get into!! okay I'm done if you read all of this I genuinely cannot thank you enough

DEAR VANESSA HONEY MALONE,

WHAT DO I SAY NOW? SOME CONCEPTS, IDEAS, THOUGHTS, ARE EASIER TO GRASP. EASIER TO GRASP THAN OTHERS. HONEY, I MISS YOU. YOU WANTED TO BE AN ACTRESS. HERE IS YOUR VERY OWN PEN NAME. THE LITERATURE BRAND. THE DEBUT IN YOUR PEN NAME'S CREATIVE PORTFOLIO. "THE FATALIST DREAM". THE FIRST WRITING OF YOU SINCE 2015 AND "CFK". "THE FILM LIFE FILM THEORY". I THINK ABOUT WHAT IF. TO JUST TALK TO YOU FACE TO FACE. IF I HAD ONE MEMORY OF US TALKING ABOUT THIS SCENARIO, BUT I DON'T. IF I COULD JUST TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS. I CAN'T. HONEY, I WROTE BOOKS ABOUT BEING YOUR FRIEND. ABOUT HOW MUCH IT FELT CRAPPY TO LOSE YOU FROM EARTH. IT'S ALWAYS HARD TO NOT SQUIRM WHEN I THINK OF MY DEAD HOMIES. PARDOM THE BLANKNESS. I CAN WRITE STORIES ABOUT FANTASY AND SCI FI AND ECONOMICS. YET WRITING ABOUT HONEY, LETTERS, WRITING TO YOU, LETTERS. DO I TAKE THE GLASSES OFF? ALL I CAN DO IS THIS, TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH LOVE I FEEL FOR YOU AS A PERSON. A FRIEND. YOU WERE THIS 15 YEAR OLD, LISTENING TO PHILOSOPHY. WITH US. WE ALL WERE. BRENDAN, TROY, PUDGE, SISSY, ISAIAH. SAINT. I DID WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU BECAME. WHO YOU BECAME. IT ALWAYS BOTHERED ME. IT'S DONE SO MANY THINGS TO ME. THE WAY I THINK WHEN I THINK ON YOU. WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME. ANYONE WE LOSE, WE WOULD END UP, WISHING WE COULD SPEAK TO THEM. WE WOULD WANT TO HEAR THEIR VOICE. JUST ONE TIME. PRETTY MUCH WHAT I AM DOING RIGHT NOW. BUT FOR THIS TO BE A LETTER TO YOU, I MUST SEND IT. YOU ARE NOT ON EARTH ANYMORE. HOW DO I SEND IT? I SELF PUBLISH IT. THERE'S A FEELING I CAN NOT FULLY DESCRIBE, WHEN IT COMES TO THIS BOOK I AM CRAFTING OUT NOW HONEY. I HAD A WRITING SESSION YESTERDAY. MOST LIKELY IT WAS AUDIO FILED. THE ON TAPE WRITING SESSION. YESTERDAY WAS SUNDAY. THEN I'M SURE I WAS IN THE KITCHEN RECORDING AND WRITING THRU OUT TWELVE HOURS. I DID NOT LEAVE THE KITCHEN OR APARTMENT. THEN THE FEELING GREW STRONGER. THERE'S A VOICE INSIDE, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. PEACE OF MIND EXCITED. THE VOICE IS TELLING ME HOW IMPORTANT THIS PROJECT IS. SO I WON'T GO INTO DETAIL. I DID HAVE A VIVID DREAM LAST YEAR. I WAS IN A CLASS AND THE TEACHER CHALLENGED US ALL. WRITE A BOOK. CREATE SOMETHING. FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS. I LOVE YOU HONEY.

A PERSON OF NUMBERS THE INTRODUCTION:

WE JUST PUBLISHED VOLUME ONE OF "THE PERSON OF NUMBERS" RIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT TODAY. WE ENGAGED IN A TWELVE HOUR STUDIO SESSION TO EDIT AND PROOFREAD THE MATERIAL WHILE AUDIO RECORDING. BY MIDNIGHT, THE PROJECT WAS READY FOR PUBLICATION. I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. THESE INTRODUCTORY PAGES WILL BE SOME OF THE ONLY PROSE YOU READ IN THIS VOLUME. I AIM TO CREATE EACH VOLUME IN THIS SERIES, UNDER A DIFFERENT WRITING GENRE. THE CONCEPTUAL GENRE IS OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS. FINANCIAL LITERACY. INVESTMENT STRATEGY. IN THE FORM OF A DIARY AS WELL. WE MAY ADD A FICTIONAL DIARY AS IT'S OWN VOLUME. WE MAY ADD A NON FICTIONAL DIARY AS IT'S OWN VOLUME AS WELL. WE ARE GOING TO DRIVE THE CONCEPT HOME, USING AS MANY DIFFERENT VARITIES OF CREATIVE EXPRESSION, UNDER THE PRE TENSE OF THE WRITTEN WORD. ANY OTHER FORMATS WE USE, WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE READ IN THIS WRITTEN FORMAT. THE ONLY BOUNDARY THIS PROJECT HAS, IS SUCH. I CAN ONLY WRITE THIS PROJECT, SO HOW CREATIVELY INDUCED CAN THE LABOR OF LOVE BE? MY CREATIVE DECLARATION IS TO DECLARE CREATIVE WARFARE ON THIS PARTICULAR SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION. WE ARE DISCUSSING YOUR LIVELIHOOD PEOPLE. WE ARE DISCUSSING MY LIVELIHOOD. WE ARE DISCUSSING OUR LIVELIHOOD. I JUST WANTED TO BE TAKEN SERIOUS AS AN ARTIST. ONLY AN ARTIST COULD HAVE DONE THIS, THE WAY IT'S GETTING DONE NOW. THE CONCEPT DISCUSSED WOULD SHOW, I MAY BE MORE THAN AN ARTIST. I AIM TO THROW ALL OF MY CREATIVE GAUNLET TO THIS PROJECT. I WANT TO DISPLAY THE CREATIVITY I HAVE TAPPED INTO BEFORE, AS WELL THE CREATIVITY I HAVE YET TO TAP INTO. I HAVE FELT LIKE MY DESTINY WAS LIT ON FIRE, SINCE THE YEAR'S BEGINNING. SINCE THE NEW YEAR, I HAVE FELT LIKE SOMETHING GREAT WAS ON IT'S WAY. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. I WAS TERRIFIED BY THE FEELING. I FEEL NOW, AFTER ACTIVELY PURSUING DESTINY FOR MY FIRST ADULT DECADE, MY DESTINY IS NOW PURSUING ME. I JUST GOT RE ASSIGNED TO ANOTHER POSITION AT ANOTHER SITE, UNDER THE TEMP SERVICE I WORK FOR. I WAS JUST AT THE LAST ASSIGNMENT, SATURDAY UNTIL MIDNIGHT. I PUBLISH VOLUME ONE THE NEXT MIDNIGHT. I GET A CALL AT 6AM. THE ASSIGNMENT HAD ENDED. SO FOR VOLUME TWO, WE WILL GO IN THE DIRECTION OF SHORT STORIES, SHORT FILM SCRIPTS, FEATURE FILM SCRIPTS, AND GO FROM THERE. WE ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE AS MUCH FUN INVESTING HOURS INTO THIS FULL PROJECT AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. THE FULL 500-1000 PAGE PROJECT IS GOING TO BE MY MASTERPIECE. I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS. AS SOON AS I PUBLISHED THIS BOOK, BOOM, A NEW WORK ASSIGNMENT. MY DESTINY IS ON FIRE. I AM PURSUING DESTINY. THE DESTINY IS RESPONDING ACCORDINGLY BY MOVING ME AROUND TO WHERE I NEED TO BE TO WITNESS THE SYNCHRONICITY AND THE SEREDENPITY OF THE WHOLE AFFAIR. I AM ABOUT TO EAT FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. TODAY WAS A WEIRD DAY. MY LIFE IS WEIRD THOUGH. THE NEXT SESSION WILL BE WHATEVER GENRE WE CHOOSE FIRST. I HAVE AN IDEA FOR ALL OF THEM SO I JUST HAVE TO FIGURE WHICH LENGTH TO START WITH THEN WHICH OPTION OF THE LENGTH CHOICES TO ULTIMATELY CHOOSE. I MAY SWIVEL BACK AND FORTH SO THERE'S NO PRESSURE FROM ANY DIRECTION.

THE THREE LITTLE PIGS. WE HAVE ALL HEARD OF THIS STORY. MOST OF US. IN THE FINANCIAL WORLD OF ECONOMIC INVESTMENTS, HOW WOULD THE STORY BE TRANSLATED? THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, INSIDE OF THE FINANCIAL WORLD OF ECONOMIC INVESTMENTS. HOW DOES ONE TRANSLATE THIS? LET US LOOK AT THE THREE LITTLE PIGGIES AS THREE PEOPLE SETTING UP THEIR FOUNDATIONS FOR THEIR LIVES. YOU HAVE THREE CONTEMPORARIES. FOR THE STORY'S SAKE, THEY ARE NOT BROTHERS. MAYBE IN ANOTHER SHORT STORY. WE WANT TO HIT HOME HERE BEFORE WE HIT HOME THERE. THREE DIFFERENT 18 YEAR OLDS. THREE DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES. THREE DIFFERENT COLLEGE AGED YOUNG ADULTS. THREE DIFFERENT COLLEGE STUDENTS. THESE ARE ALL DIFFERENT UNIVERSES WE MAY EXPLORE. THIS IS ONLY THE INTRODUCTION. THIS IS JUST A MERE WARNING. YOU ARE IN THE MIND RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE IN MY MIND RIGHT NOW. THE THREE LITTLE CONTEMPORARIES. THIS STORY WILL ALLOW US TO DETAIL THE PITFALLS OF THE SUPER SOCIAL LIFE, IN THE SUPER SOCIAL SOCIETY. I AM GRATEFUL TO GOD I MADE IT TO THIS POINT IN THIS SERIES AND IN LIFE AS A WHOLE. I HAVE TOTAL FAITH IN GOD AND I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THE BLESSINGS HE HAS SHOWN ME. I LOVE GOD SO MUCH. I LOVE MYSELF AS WELL. I JUST HAD TO GIVE GOD ALL OF THE GLORY.

THIS IS MY LAST CREATIVE SESSION. MY CREATIVE SESSIONS CONSIST OF AUDIO RECORDING THE WRITING AND PROOFREADING OF WRITING. I PLAN ON INTRODUCING FILM EDITING BACK INTO THE DAILY SCHEDULE. ONCE THE SONY VEGAS PRO EDITING SYSTEM IS ON THE LAPTOP AGAIN, I WILL BE ABLE TO EDIT ARCHIVE RAW FOOTAGE. I LOOK FORWARD TO EDITING THE FOOTAGE INTO ONE HOUR CHAD FILMS. I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THIS. ME LETTING YOU INSIDE OF MY CREATIVE SCHEDULE. I REALLY WANT TO KEEP MY LIFE AS LONG AS I CAN. THIS STATEMENT IS GROWTH FOR ME, FOR I REMEMBER YEARS WISHING AGAINST MY LIFE. SO FOR ME TO SAY I REALLY AM GRATEFUL TO BE HERE AND WANT TO STAY LONGER TO KEEP UP WITH DESTINY, IT'S GREAT TO OBSERVE ME FEELING THAT. SYRACUSE HAS A FILM FESTIVAL. I AIM TO SUBMIT A ONE HOUR CHAD FILM INTO THE FESTIVAL. 2020 SYRACUSE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. 10 YEARS AFTER THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL DEBUTS OF KEVITV AND SEEXZAVIERFILMS. THIS DRIVE FOR LIFE IS DRIVEN BY THE DESIRE TO LEAVE AN INHERITANCE FOR MY FAMILY, POSSIBLY CREATE A CHILD OF MY OWN, AND RELEASE ALL OF MY DIVERSIFIED CREATIVE PORTFOLIO. I SPENT MY TWENTIES CREATING MY DIVERSIFIED CREATIVE PORTFOLIO. NOW I SPEND THE THIRTIES DOING MORE. CREATING THE DIVERSIFIED ECONOMIC INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO. RELEASING THE DIVERSIFIED CREATIVE PORTFOLIO. CREATING ANOTHER DIVERSIFIED CREATIVE PORTFOLIO. FULL OF STRATEGY ON CREATING DIVERSIFIED ECONOMIC INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS. ISN'T THAT JUST LOVELY? 

IT'S JUST LOVELY. THE THREE LITTLE PIGGIES. THE THREE LITTLE CONTEMPORARIES. WHEN I CALL MY MOM RIGHT AFTER I AM DONE WITH THIS PARAGRAPH, I AM GOING TO TELL HER ABOUT THIS STORY. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS VOLUME. EVERY VOLUME OF THIS PROJECT EXCITES. I KNOW EACH ONE WILL TEACH ONE. I KNOW EACH ONE WILL REACH ONE. I KNOW EACH ONE WILL BE DIFFERENT IN GENRE. CAN YOU IMAGINE A FINANCIAL HORROR STORY? I COULD WRITE YOU A FINANCIAL STORY SO HORRIFYING, YOU WOULD RUN FOR SAFETY DIRECTLY INTO THE ARMS OF THE BOGEY MAN OF HADDONFIELD ILLINOIS. THIS IS WHY I DEDICATE MY LIFE TO BUILDING MY CRAFTS AND THE EMPIRES THEY CREATE. I CREATED A CREATIVE EMPIRE. THE GOAL OF THE TWENTIES. THE GOAL FOR THE THIRTIES? CREATE THE ECONOMIC EMPIRE OF INVESTMENTS TO FINANCE THE CREATIVE PORTFOLIO. I LOVE MY LIFE. I LOVE MY GOD. I LOVE MY MOM. I LOVE MY DAD. I LOVE MY THREE BROTHERS. DAVID, QUENTIN, JUSTIN. ATIYANNA, MALIAH, QUAN, QQ, KEVI, DANTE, SHYANNE. ALL OF DAVID'S KIDS. THIS IS THE INTRODUCTION, I AM GETTING THIS OUT OF THE WAY. I HAVE TO CALL MY MOM.

THE THREE LITTLE CONTEMPORARIES: CHAPTER ONE: THE DISTRACT

THERE'S A WOLF IN TOWN. THE WOLF IS BIG. THE WOLF IS BAD. THE WOLF IS HUNGRY. THE WOLF IS LOOKING. THE WOLF IS LOOKING FOR FOOD. THE WOLF IS LOOKING FOR YOU. ARE YOU WOLF FOOD? THE BIG BAD WOLF, IN REALITY, IS ECONOMIC SLAVERY AND THE DEBT COLLECTION AGE. IT'S A DEBT COLLECTION REVOLUTION GOING ON OUT HERE MAN. EVERYBODY OWES SOMEBODY MONEY. AND THAT'S THE BIG BAD WOLF. THE BIG BAD WOLF IS THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM IN WHICH WE ALL RESIDE. IN THIS ECONOMIC SYSTEM, ANYONE WHO BUILDS THEIR HOUSES OF STICK AND STRAW ARE DOOMED. ANYONE OUT THERE BUILDING HOUSES OF STRAW AND STICK ARE DOOMED. ECONOMICALLY SPEAKING. WHO IS THE BEST NARRATOR FOR THIS STORY? MAYBE UNCLE SAM. THE POLITICIAN. HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME DETERMINES HOW BIG YOU WIN. HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME DETERMINES IF YOU WIN AT ALL. THE WOLF HAS NO PITY. HAVE NO PITY ON THE WOLF. PLAY THE GAME TO WIN. LET US SAY, FOR THE SAKE OF THIS PROJECT, WE ARE LITTLE ECONOMIC PIGGIES. SOME PIGGIES WILL GET EATEN. SOME PIGGIES MAY MAKE IT TO THE MARKET PLACE. SOME PIGGIES WILL GET ATE AT THE MARKET PLACE. YOU MUST ECONOMICALLY SURVIVE. INCIDENTALLY, YOU MUST LEARN TO ECONOMICALLY SURVIVE WITHIN THE JUNGLE. THERE IS A CIRCUS WITHIN THE JUNGLE. IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE, STAY AWAY FROM THE WOLF. STAY AWAY FROM THE WOLF, UNTIL YOU HAVE HIS MONEY. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE WOLF'S MONEY, HE WILL EAT YOU WHEN HE FINDS YOU. IT'S ACTUALLY HIS MONEY. HE MAKES THE MONEY. YOU ARE BORROWING THE MONEY FROM HIM. HE LOANED YOU EVERY DOLLAR. HIS COMMISSION IS CALLED TAXES. DURING TAX SEASON, THE WOLF CAME TO COLLECT. THE WOLF COLLECTS DEBT, OR CHITLINS. THE WOLF IS EVERYTHING ABOUT THE ECONOMIC SLAVERY SYSTEM. EVERY LITTLE PIGGIE IS AN ECONOMIC SLAVE. ONE DAY THE BIG BAD WOLF WILL COME TO TEST THE ECONOMIC FOUNDATION EVERY LITTLE PIGGIE HAS BUILT FOR THEMSELVES. YOU MUST BUILD AN ECONOMIC FOUNDATION FOR YOURSELF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE OTHER LITTLE PIGGIES AROUND ALL ARE POTENTIAL MEALS FOR THE BIG BAD WOLF. ONLY THE SMARTEST AND THE BRIGHTEST OF THE LITTLE PIGGIES WILL SEE OLD MAJOR'S AGE. DON'T WORRY ABOUT HAVING FRIENDS. YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO PAY YOUR BILLS ON TIME. YOU HAD BETTER MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW HOW TO PAY YOUR BILLS IN ADVANCE. YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO BUILD YOUR CREDIT. THOSE FRIENDS YOU'RE RUNNING AROUND WITH, THEY OWE THE WOLF THE SAME DEBT YOU DO. EVERYONE STARTS OFF EQUALLY IN DEBT. THE ECONOMIC DECISIONS YOU MAKE ON THE FARM WILL DETERMINE THE ECONOMIC HARM YOU BRING YOURSELF. WITH OR WITHOUT CHARM. THE DECISIONS OF THIS TIME PERIOD YOU LIVE IN WILL DECIDE YOUR FATE. THE DECISIONS OF YOUR CONTEMPORARIES WILL DECIDE THEIR FATE AS WELL. ALLOW EVERYONE TO DECIDE THEIR OWN FATE. MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT UP IN SOME ONE ELSE'S FATE. DON'T YOU WANT YOUR OWN FATE? FATE IS FATE. FATE IS FATE BUT EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN DESTINY TO PURSUE. WHY NOT JUST PURSUE YOUR OWN DESTINY? IF YOU DON'T, THEN THE CONVERSE STATEMENT IS YOU DID NOT PURUSE YOUR DESTINY. MAYBE YOU WON'T END UP ACQUIRING DESTINY. THEN THAT'S WHERE FATE COMES IN. FATE WILL COME IN REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT YOUR DESTINY WAS ACTIVATED. THEN AGAIN, MAYBE, THOSE WOULD BE TWO DIFFERENT FATES. WHICH FATE DO YOU WANT THEN? THE FATE OF VICTORY IN DESTINY OR THE FATE OF NEVER SEEING YOUR DESTINY. THE BIG BAD WOLF IS COMING FOR YOU ALL. HIGH SCHOOL DESTROYS THE LITTLE PIGGIES. IN KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE, IT IS GOOD TO BE SOCIAL. AT 18, WHEN ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE LOCKED UP IN PUBLIC SCHOOLING INSTITUTIONS FOR 13 CONSECUTIVE BIRTHDAYS, ARE OF LEGAL AGE, STAY AWAY FROM THEM. THEY ARE GOING TO DESTROY THEMSELVES. THEY MAY FALL VICTIM TO THE STRATEGIC ATTACKS AGAINST OUR GENERATION. THE GOAL OF THE PAST ELITE IS TO TAKE OUT OUR LEADERSHIP ABILITIES BEFORE WE EVER SEE LEADERSHIP AGE. OUR CAPACITY TO LEAD IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW. THIS COMES FROM BEING SOCIAL. I RESPECT YOU ALL AS PEOPLE. WITH THAT SAID, THE GAME IS TO DREAM BIG. ANY SMALL DREAMERS MUST STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME. I AM NOT SO NEEDY FOR ANOTHER'S COMPANY THAT I DON'T DISCERN WHO I SHARE COMPANY WITH. WE ALL CAN DO VERY BAD ALL ALONE AND BY OURSELVES. WE DO NOT NEED ANY HELP MAKING ILL INFORMED DECISIONS. IF AS A GROUP, WE ARE MAKING ILL INFORMED DECISIONS, WE ARE AN ILL INFORMED GROUP. THE BIG BAD WOLF WILL EAT YOU ALL. HE WILL TEAR THE ECONOMIC FLESH FROM YOUR LIFE SAVINGS. NOT TOO MANY PIGGIES EVEN HAVE LIFE SAVINGS. JUST NOW, IN YOUR QUEST TO BE COOL AND POPULAR, YOU MAY JUST END UP GIVING UP EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED. UNLESS YOU ONLY EVER WANTED COOL POPULARITY. WHEN YOU HIT THIRTY, THINK ABOUT WHAT IS COOL THEN. IT'LL BE LATE THEN BUT MAYBE YOU COULD THINK ABOUT WHAT THIRTY YEAR OLDS FIND COOL. WHAT DOES THE FORTY YEAR OLD FIND COOL? EVERYONE WON'T HAVE THE SAME PERCEPTION. THAT'S THE POINT. THAT'S WHY YOU STAY TO YOURSELF. OTHERWISE YOU FIND YOURSELF SURROUNDED BY THOSE WITH DIFFERENT PERCEPTIONS. NOW IT BOILS DOWN TO THREE DIFFERENT FACTORS. YOUR PERCEPTION, THEIR PERCEPTION, AND THE PERCEPTION CLOSEST TO ECONOMIC FREEDOM. THE PERCEPTION CLOSES TO ECONOMIC FREEDOM WINS. OTHER PEOPLE WILL PUT YOU IN DANGER, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME WE WON'T MEET AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ANYONE ELSE WILL END UP. I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING TO END UP. I ONLY KNOW WE WON'T END UP IN THE SAME PLACE. I WILL BE IN A CLASS OF MY OWN. IT WAS MY RIGHT TO DO SO. I AM HERE NOW HELPING YOU GET INTO A CLASS OF YOUR OWN. I WILL HAVE THE FATE OF THE GUY WHO NEVER GAVE UP HIS CHILDHOOD AMBITION AND DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO IT. THAT'S ALL I MEAN WHEN I SAY I WILL END UP IN A DIFFERENT CATEGORY THAN MOST. I NEVER COMPROMISED. IT'S HARD TO SUM UP MY ARTISTRY. I CAN WRITE. I COULD'VE WRITTEN ANYTHING THEN WITHIN LIMITATIONS. I CHOSE TO WRITE THIS. NOW THE POSSIBILITIES ARE LIMITLESS TO HOW FAR OTHERS CAN GO FROM THIS. I DON'T WANT THE BIG BAD WOLF TO GET YOU. GET OUT OF THE FOREST OF ECONOMIC DEBT COLLECTION. EVERYTHING IN THE FOREST IS SET UP TO KEEP YOU IN DEBT. IF YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY OTHERS IN DEBT, AND THEY ARE NOT FINANCIALLY LITERATE OR EVEN TRYING, YOU MAY FIND YOUR SELF AS A MARK, EXPLOITED OR ROBBED FOR CASH OR CREDIT. THINK ABOUT IT. THINK ABOUT, THINK ABOUT IT, THINK ABOUT IT. IF I CAN'T READ AND THERE IS A BOOK REPORT DUE. RIGHT? HE WHO HAS IT GET ROBBED BY THOSE THAT DON'T MAN IS WHAT I'M SAYING. WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE, ASK YOURSELF HOW LIKELY IT IS THEY ARE AROUND TWO DECADES FROM THEN. OTHERWISE YOU'RE LETTING THEM WASTE YOUR TIME. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT GET WHAT THEY WANT FROM LIFE. THEY WERE TOO DISTRACTED. MOST PEOPLE ARE DISTRACTIONS. MOST PEOPLE ARE DISTRACTED. MOST PEOPLE ARE DISTRACTING. DISTRACTING AND DISTRACTED DISTRACTIONS.

THE THREE LITTLE CONTEMPORARIES: CHAPTER TWO: STRANGE FOR CHANGE YOU GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN THEY DROP YOU OFF INTO THE FOREST. IN THE FOREST, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN DAWG. IT'S A SAD SIGHT TO SEE, FINANCIAL ILLITERACY. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE, THE WALKING EPITOME, FINANCIAL ILLITERACY. MOST PEOPLE CAN READ. THE ONLY REASON MOST PEOPLE CAN READ, IS SHEEP NEED TO READ. SHEEP NEED TO READ, SO THEY KNOW WHAT INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW. I'M YOUR FRIEND, I WANT YOU TO BE A LEADER. IT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO LEAD, IF YOUR WALLET IS BROKEN. IF YOUR EARNING POWER, IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW, RECONSIDER YOUR FOCUS, PLEASE. I'M BEGGING YOU, PLEASE! IN THIS FOREST, IT IS A SURVIVAL QUEST. IT IS A RACE OUT OF THE FOREST. THE FOREST OF ECONOMIC SERVITUDE. SERVING THE DOLLAR. WHEN SERVING THE DOLLAR, JUST KNOW, THE WOLF WILL EVENTUALLY EAT YOUR HEART OUT. THE DOLLAR MUST SERVE YOU. ONCE THE DOLLAR SERVES YOU, THE WOLF CAN BE PAID OFF. IF THE WOLF IS HUNGRY, HE NEEDS ONE OF TWO THINGS. MONEY FROM THOSE WHO OWE HIM, OR FLESH FROM THOSE SAME SHEEP. OR PIGGIES. WHICH EVER ONE YOU WANT TO BE, YOU CAN BE. YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BE. WITH THAT SAID, I HAVE FAITH IN THE FUTURE AND YOU. FOR YOU ARE A PART OF THE FUTURE. I HAVE FAITH IN THE FUTURE YOU. SO GET THERE NOW. I AM HELPING YOU THE BEST I CAN. EVERYONE WILL NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE FOREST. WHY IS IT SO LONELY AT THE TOP? IT IS LONELY AT THE TOP BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO BE LONELY. IF EVERYONE IS FINANCIALLY ILLITERATE, WHOEVER ISN'T WAS MIGHTY LONELY. SIMPLE MATH. EVERYONE DOESN'T MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS. EVERYONE DOESN'T CREATE A MILLION DOLLAR EARNING POWER. EVERYONE DOESN'T ATTEND COLLEGE UNIVERSITIES. I HAVEN'T YET. EVERYONE IS BORN EQUAL. EVERYONE DIES EQUAL. EVERYONE DOESN'T LIVE EQUALLY. IT'S THE LIFE ITSELF CONTAINING UNFAIRNESS. NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE BIRTHING OR DYING PROCESS, EVERYONE EVER ALIVE, WAS BORN AND THEN DIED, SOMEHOW. UNFAIRNESS BREEDS EMOTIONS. THESE EMOTIONS ARE CONTRAST. THE EMOTIONS CONTRAST HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO FEEL. SO IN ESSENCE, SAID BY ESTER HICKS, THIS IS A POSITIVE SCENARIO. I WANT YOU TO GET EVERYTHING OUT OF THIS WORLD YOU POSSIBLY CAN. I WOULD LIKE THAT FOR MYSELF AND MY BIRTH FAMILY AS WELL. NOW I AM HELPING MYSELF GET THERE, BY USING MY GOD GIVEN GIFTS, TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GREATNESS. IN THE FOREST OF ECONOMIC SLAVERY, EVERYONE WILL NOT MAKE IT OUT. YOU HAVE TO DECIDE, RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW, WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE? DON'T LET GO. JUST PICK ONE CHOICE CONSCIOUSLY THEN IT'LL BE EASIER TO RECONCILE WITHIN YOURSELF IN THE UPCOMING FUTURE. HOW GREAT DO YOU WANT YOUR FUTURE TO BE? IF YOUR FUTURE MEANS NOTHING TO YOU, BURN THIS BOOK. THROW IT IN THE AIRPLANE TOILET. RIP EVERY PAGE OUT AND EAT IT. LET YOUR DOG EAT IT. GIVE THIS BOOK TO YOUR DOG, AS A PLAYTOY. THEN TEACH YOUR DOG TO READ. THEN WHEN YOUR DOG READS IT, AT LEAST ONE OF YOU ALL WILL BE FINANCIALLY LITERATE. IF I SAID, "LISTEN, JACK FROST IS OUT THERE, PUT A THICK JACKET ON", THIS MEANS I CARE. SO WHEN I SAY UNCLE SAM IS THE BIG BAD WOLF AND HE WILL BLOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN, I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS HAPPEN. THE BRITISH ARE COMING! THE BRITISH ARE COMING! REVERE YOUR OWN YOUTH, PAUL, YOU GET IT ONLY ONCE. LIVE YOUR YOUTH UP TO THE MAX. THIS MEANS, STILL HAVING YOUTH TO SHARE AT 40. THOSE WHOM SQUANDERED THEIR MOST ILLUSTRIOUS YEARS WITH HYPER SOCIALIZING, IT IS WHAT IT IS. I AM ASKING YOU, ANYONE YOUNGER, TO ASK YOURSELF, IF YOU WANT THAT FOR YOURSELF? YOU EVER WORK A JOB AND YOU REALIZE MANY OF THE OLDER WORKERS ARE BITTER PEOPLE? MAYBE THEY ARE JUST PEOPLE EXPERIENCING A BITTER REALITY. THEY WERE DISPLAYING THEIR GREATNESS AT ONE TIME, THEY HAD TO BE. EVEN IF IT WERE WHEN THEY WERE TEN YEARS OF AGE. THEY PROJECT THIS BITTERNESS FOR ONE FACT. THEY SQUANDERED THEIR YOUTH CHASING HOES. MAYBE IT WAS A LIFE OF CRIME THAT NEVER PAID OFF. IF YOU'RE GOING TO ROB A BANK, YOU BETTER BE THE GREATEST AND SAFEST BANK ROBBER WITH NO CITIZEN OR POLICE CASUALTIES EVER. OR YOU'RE A DEAD MAN. I'M STILL YOUR FRIEND, I'M JUST NOT HERE TO KISS ASS. I'M HERE TO GET YOU PAID. IN ORDER FOR US TO IN FACT GET PAID, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY BUDDY. YOUR FEAR WILL HOLD YOU BACK FOREVER, IF YOU LET IT MY GOOD SIR. MY FEAR WOULD DEFINITELY DO THE SAME EXACT THING, TO ME, DO NOT EVER GET THIS FACT TWISTED. AMERICA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN, ONCE THE AVERAGE AMERICAN IS FINANCIALLY LITERATE. FINANCIAL LITERACY AMONGST THE COMMON FOLK, IS NOT WANTED BY THE ESTABLISHED, ESTABLISHMENT. THE ESTABLISHING AND ESTABLISHED ESTABLISHMENT. WHY WOULD THEY TEACH US TO READ LETTERS? THEN ASK WHY WOULD THEY TEACH US TO READ NUMBERS? WHY WOULD THEY TEACH US TO READ WORDS AND NOT PERCENTAGES? STATISTICS? THEY DON'T TEACH US TO READ THE DOLLAR. WHEN I SAY STATS I MEAN ECONOMIC STATISTICS. WHEN I SAY PERCENTAGES, I'M TALKING FINANCIAL LEVERAGING USING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL SECURITIES. ASSETS, DIGITAL ASSETS. READING THE DOLLAR. SOUNDS JUST FANTASTICAL DOESN'T IT? HOW DO YOU READ THE DOLLAR? BY DOUBLING YOUR EARNING POWER. BY LEARNING TO READ THE DOLLAR, YOU CAN DOUBLE YOUR EARNING POWER. IT IS NOT ABOUT SALARY, IT IS ABOUT EARNING POWER. IF A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE OR EVEN A DROP OUT, OR THE COLLEGE DROP OUT IS MORE FINANCIALLY LITERATE THAN THE COLLEGE GRADUATE WITH EVERY DEGREE YOU CAN HAVE, GOOD LUCK TO THE GRADUATE. THEY PLAY THE GAME WELL, THE GAME OF HIGH PRICED TIME SLAVE. THERE ARE SLAVES WITH TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN EARNINGS YEARLY. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SLAVE YOURSELF, SLAVE YOURSELF IN YOUR MOST PASSIONATE FIELD. THE FOREST IS FULL OF DISTRACTIONS. NEVER DENY THAT. THE FOREST WILL NEVER DENY ITSELF AN OPPORTUNITY TO UTILIZE YOUR ECONOMIC FLESH AS THE MEAL OF THE NIGHT. ALL I AM SAYING IS "LEARN TO READ THE DOLLAR". THIS WILL GET AMERICA TO WHERE SHE WANTS TO BE IN DESTINY'S EYES. AMERICANS MUST BE FINANCIALLY LITERATE. IF NOT, WE MUST STAY ON COURSE INDIVIDUALLY. WE ARE SURROUNDED BY THE FINANCIALLY ILLITERATE. WE WERE ONCE OF THE SAME CALIBER. SOME THINGS CHANGE, SOME THINGS DON'T CHANGE. THEY STILL DO STRANGE FOR CHANGE.

THE THREE LITTLE CONTEMPORARIES: CHAPTER THREE: ON PREVIOUS STOPS THE WOLF WILL COME ONE DAY TO ALL, FOR DEBT COLLECTION. THE ULTIMATE DEBT COLLECTION. THE WOLF WILL WANT IT'S MONEY WITH INTEREST. IT IS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST, TO HAND OVER THE WOLF'S FUNDS. TO THE WOLF, YOU MUST SURRENDER YOUR FUNDS YOU OWE TO THE WOLF. OR YOU CAN JUST SURRENDER YOUR BUNS. THE WOLF IS GOING TO GET PAID. EVEN IF YOU'RE BANKRUPT AT THE END OF THE DAY. ALWAYS REMEMBER, ONCE UPON A TIME, YOU HAD YOUTH. YOU SQUANDERED IT. WHAT THE F'S YOUR PROBLEM? THAT'S WHY SOME OF THE OLDER WORKERS AT OUR JOBS ARE SO BITTER. THEY SQUANDERED THEIR YOUTH. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. YOU WEREN'T THERE. THEY WERE THERE. THEY WERE IN CHARGE OF ACTIVELY PURSUING THEIR OWN DESTINY MAN. THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. THEY WERE BITTER BEFORE YOU MET THEM. THIS IS WHY THEY WERE BITTER WHEN YOU MET THEM.

hi, I’ve had a very complicated relationship with my schooling over the years.
first i was sexually abused in elementary school and had issues with men and school that e eventually turned into full blown panic attack at the idea of school i left three months into the seventh grade year and did online i went back for eighth grade, then covid hit. and i online freshman year it was online and hybrid then completely online, sophomore heard i went out to another state and did school there while staying with family then i came back home and did online then i got into a early college program and committed two weeks before the first day of school i got my rooms assignment and everything the night before i had no day in my classes and i tried to kill myself my second day there. i went back home and deferred for a year, now is around th time i want to decide if i’m going or not . in this time also my mom died. I have a toxic chaotic household and everyone one of my siblings tell each other to get when they can. i remember eventually after my initial panic attacks for school in person i would calm down and have fun times and social interaction . My question is: Should i commit to my early college program and have two years there and graduate with a AA, or do i not go and figure out my life there? typing k tout it seems easy to decide which one is smarter but the panic won’t let me see pst everything i had built up around school?

TL;DR - Lady at the school district said public school in my state doesn't have to let in my kid until 2nd grade, given the current climate it seems plausible. She's just full of it, right?
First off, Im also understand I sound like a crazy person. It's just my first time enrolling my daughter, I live in a red state and this seems like the kind of backward thing that may actually be true.
My daughter turns 4 next week and we're planning to enroll her in pre-K. We'd been doing research when she turned two, and everything seemed straightforward.
When we went to enroll her this year, we were told by someone at the district that there's only 700 spots city wide (small city of 180k), and 500 are guaranteed to kids with IEPs with the rest being first-come first-served. Worst case we'd stay home until kindergarten.
Here's the rub, the lady from the district heard us say this and told us in our state truancy doesn't apply unless the child is 7 on or before Aug 31 of that year. So schools in our state don't have an obligation to let us enroll until 2nd grade.
She gave us a printout on homeschooling options, and micro schools and coops. Being a COVID baby, we're hoping to socialize her as much as possible (play groups & play dates just aren't cutting it for her need to socialize). All the numbers for the groups were either wrong or out of service.
My wife and I are panicking and plan on staying up until midnight the day registration opens to try to get her a spot.
We're planning to call around to other schools and district offices, but we just got this info at 3pm on a Friday so we just have to sit on it for three days.
So this comes to two questions. As I'm going through this for the first time 1) Is this lady just full of $#!+ And we shouldn't worry? (Worst case, kindergarten next year) 2) If this is an actual thing and we do have to homeschool where does one even begin, and what are the biggest risks/rewards in your opinion?
My biggest concern is socialization and getting her to routinely interact with other kids. My wife's concern is screen time if we do online school, and her own dyslexia if she needs to teach (I'm gone from 8-5, so I can't help unless we do it in the evenings) and we have an 18mo too.

Hi everyone, My daughter turns 5 on Sept 13 and fully qualifies to start Kindergarten where we currently live in NJ. We planned on moving down to KY this summer to be closer to family but the problem is she misses their cut off by two weeks.
This school has an appeal to qualify for school next year and she just had her "interview" a few days ago and I just got an email that she was DENIED . I can not fully wrap my head around this ... She knew most things they asked her ( besides a few things like her phone number and her address which she could easily learn if she needed to) but they also did this interview 6 MONTHS before she is 5 or would even start school.
She is very social and smart. She knows all her ABC's and the sounds of them, she knows her numbers, she can count to 20, she knows her colors and shapes, She can write her name and many of the letters, she sits well and listens to directions and has a fabulous vocabulary and clear speech. She asks to learn this for "fun" not because shes forced but she enjoys learning writing and drawing.
My son is in first grade this year and he started kindergarten not knowing anything and he didnt' even go to preschool because of the pandemic.
What could this school possibly want a kindergartener to know? Isn't the point of going to kindergarten to learn this stuff there? I'm so frustrated by this .. they tested her 6 months early when she only misses their cut off by two weeks. Should I try to push this process or accept that and send her to pre k? That almost seems like she would be going backwards for an entire year? Thank you for any advice.

I don't think this is something I've seen Dr. K talk about, but it's something that I think impacts my life more than I think it does. (some context) 20M Growing up I never really had anything consistent, it was just me and my mom and she worked multiple jobs. So at a young age Ive been pretty on my own in an internal sense. We moved around a lot so my environment and role models were always changing. I often cried because I missed my mom but she was a young mom and didn't get the chance to work through her past (because she had me) and the only time she could talk about emotions was when she was drunk. As a kid I never liked talking to her drunk so my feelings were something that we're never talked about. Coming home didn't feel like coming home, home was just wherever I was wherever I was staying.
I look back at life and the first thing that comes to mind is life wasn’t particularly good from my own perspective. externally i have a very kind and supportive family and i was an only child so my mom did try to “spoil” me when she could. But internally there was so much missing. i don’t want to remember my past because it shaped me into someone, someone i didn’t get to chose to be. i was just a kid trying to fit in and have friends it was never about me. I didn’t have the resources to see a therapist after i graduated and found my only option was to forget about the past and just focus on who i am right now. 1 1/2 years later i sit here today with a foggy memory of my childhood and what’s frustrating is the last 3 years of high school we’re pretty traumatic so my education is foggy too.
i’m curious if anyone else had some memory problems and what life’s like for you? i think it really affects me in every way of my life. communication, relationships, current memory etc.

I got my ADHD diagnosis about a month ago(combined type, moderate severity). It definitely explains A LOT more things than just autism alone. Procrastination, disorganization, impulsivity, hyperactivity and inattention were noted traits as a kid and have followed me(and hindered me) into adulthood. I was all but officially diagnosed at 8, but my mom(a registered nurse,home healthcare) didn't want me medicated because according to her:
-Most people who take ADHD meds like Ritalin or others become addicted to street drugs later in life and claims such has happened to certain family friends and their kids. She said if she let me take medications and I became an addict I would be mad at her either way.
-I didn't need medication because I while I had some behavior issues I wasn't flipping over chairs, getting into fights or being a straight up menace. She claims psych meds of any kind shouldn't be taken unless you have bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
-Her and my grandmother knew people who were hyperactive as kids and their issues could be solved with an old fashioned butt whooping.
-Shr says our healthcare provider among others loves to prescribe these things for profit
Furthermore even with my autism diagnosis she has flip flopped between telling me not to use it as a crutch, but then also clearly treating me in certain ways because of my difference. Like when I was getting my driver's license at 17 if I made a mistake and she perceived it as me not paying attention she would say "oh my God" exasperatly and make "duh" noises.
Academically the ADHD showed ALOT. Doing/turning things in last minute(sometimes literally), restlessness when sitting down for extended periods, binders/folders falling apart due to being filled with old assignments or notes. I even remember in 9th grade grade curriculum support I got yelled at for doing TKD moves in the classroom(cringrey I know) and I had to repeat 11th grade English and while other kids were doing pre-calculus or trigonometry last math class I did was business math junior year.
University wasn't an option for me obviously but even with junior college the same issues resulted in withdrawing from practically all classes for several semesters due to falling behind plus academic probation. I will be 23 in a couple of months and am just now going back wheras others have graduated or are close to it.
My mom laments this because she has a master's and nursing education license. She feels the same about me not having a girlfriend and even used to suggest I was gay or said it was abnormal. She has toned down about it accepting I am a late bloomer. I have lost a couple EMT jobs, failing probation due to issues remembering protocols/procedures or being slow to do certain things. With the recent one she told me to go to job developers and have someone come with me. This was before my ADHD diagnosis so I was more feeling self conscious/down on myself wondering if autism overall was making me incompetent or just who I was.
I brought this up to my psychiatrist this morning during my medication follow up. She definitely said my mom clearly has her own "belief system" about these things, but that my mom like many people seems to not understand how the disability aspect of things like level 1 autism or ADHD aren't as blatant compared to disorders that can cause psychosis or even intellectual disabilities. I had thought this myself before.She also reiterated that this was my choice, and that Straterra wasn't doing anything unnatural to my brain since it only was making it easier to absorb norepinephrine which my brain already produces. Plus it isn't a stimulant so I am definitely not becoming a drug addict because of it.
And while it was totally possible for people to deal with ADHD without meds, they are usually working a lot harder to maintain proper habits to deal with symptoms and in with many of her patients the benefits of medication are worth it. Plus I am only taking 20mg right now and we are upping the dosage a little bit over the next month(a fuller dosage was closer to 100). So she isn't even just throwing drugs at me.
Bottom line my mom isn't necessarily mean and she isn't an antivaxxer or anything (always made sure me and my sister had our shots, especially for COVID). But despite good intentions she clearly seems misinformed on some things outsode of her scope. I don't want to be bitter and just blame all my problems on others but like I said so many things make sense and I wonder how many things would be better if I had known about this. I had an IEP in high school that gave me extra test time or a quiet place to do it but looking back would ADHD have made a difference in accomodations?
Thoughts?
