Contentment is not found...

Contentment is a choice!

Do not make the mistake of taking familiarity and proximity for license. Rudeness, even "in jest", is not acceptable when you daily portray the attitude of degradation. Even when used in jest, there MUST be a foundation of trust and Godly loving kindness, before someone may know you are not in seriousness. Snide hateful degrading derogatory judgmental bigoted self-centered complaining competitive...
These are not the attitudes God expects from us. Nor are they acceptable in His sight.

Forgotten Gift

I believe that the...
Fully formed blog post that popped into my head a few minutes ago is completely gone...
Now I am stuck posting something completely unrelated to anything anywhere close to what it was about....
Now if I could only think of what it was about so I can stay clear of it...
But in that case, of course, I would know what it was about and it would come back..

This week I made gifts for those coworkers that I actually know in any degree. (Here is hoping the others don't gang up and give me a smack down for not giving them any)

Of little to no consequence...

Today, I called 911. All of my own will. And was summarily dismissed as being unnecessary and pointless. Sigh. Such is my daily luck. However unneeded it may have turned out, I am none the less convinced it was the only thing to do. To merely assume that someone else would or had called to report the fire would be as inexcusable as any complacency ever is.
Complacency as often kills as it harms in other ways. It is truly dangerous.
I refuse to take part in it.
So there it lies.

iBlog Angry

I am now blogging with angry.
Just spent a good thirty minutes blogging and a phone call canceled out the entire block of typing. I am angry at the iPhone blogger app. And at the person who chose to call me at so Inopportune a time. *sigh* I am now crying silently to myself in the corner. I also no longer feel like blogging.
So y'all will just have to struggle along with out my amazing insight to light your sad little lives.

P.S. These pews are very very uncomfortable for anyone under six feet or doesn't have freakishly long legs. That is all.

iBlog arockin

Today I found an app for blogger. Coolio. Maybe this will let me blog as often as the varied thoughts spinning around my brain beg me to. Slowly but surely making this new iPhone more in keeping with my tastes and personality. So here is my first blog from my new smart phone.
Just in case you were wondering, it has not yet made me feel more smartical. Maybe that takes a while...

This evening we were visited by the second earthquake in as many days.
Yesterday around 2 am and then another larger and more shallow one around the same time tonight. (for those who do not live in California, that means that it could be felt for a very long distance and shook for a good minute.) The final Usgs reading is 4.7 and then a 5.6. The record up until now was 5.5 in 1956. We are still feeling a few tiny aftershocks and the poor dogs are unsure how to protect the family from this unknown terror.

~~~~~

Yepp. Please feel free to expect daily or at the very least weekly posting from here on out. Hey, who knows maybe more than one a day....

Sammy Ayers

Named jointly for the character in What the deaf man heard, and the exact coat replica female we owned a few years back, named Sammy Lane.

These pictures were shot at the two week mark. All of the following pictures were taken tonight. We may or may not have been a little bit crazy...

He's Meowing, not biting.
No, the cat did not touch any part of the mouth. That'd be gross.
Optical illusions...It's all smoke & mirrors.
Proof that he does in fact like people. But me the most. (And yes, he was sleeping there...)
Oh, look, it's Doctor Doolittle!
Lrt2 and I are still fighting over which of us gets ownership...

Flowers for Algernon Moncrieff

"Algy"
Named jointly for the characters from The Importance of being Earnest, and the mouse from Flowers for Algernon. The little fellow started out life as the next to smallest of the litter. Being an orange cat, he was already destined for imbecility, but the time it took for him to grace us with his presence caused even more brain trauma. A week into his life, it was fairly obvious that he was floundering. Currently, at just over two weeks, he is stable, but still tiny, maybe a third of the size of his brother and sisters.

On the plus side, the bottle feeding is having a nice side effect of making the dumb little thing incredibly affectionate. His little broken, scratchy purr comes out at the end of each feeding and he loves to curl up in my hand, (yepp, he fits in the one hand) and falls right to sleep.
