    Outwitted by a small, black cat called Elsa.

    By Waspie_Dwarf

    I have a small, black cat named Elsa. She is good company, generally very quiet and very well natured (although not always so well behaved). We are, however, in a battle of wits over a chair, and I think I am losing. A few weeks ago a relative of mine moved and had more chairs than was strictly necessary for her smaller flat. The chairs are much newer than the ones I had and so she gave them to me. That is where the battle started. Initially Elsa was happy to claim a chair of her

Japanese Kappa

Thie lovely photo above is of the Japanese Kappa, and now the wiki blurb. A kappa (河童, "river-child")—also known as kawatarō(川太郎, "river-boy"), komahiki (駒引, "horse-puller"), with a boss called kawatora (川虎, "river-tiger") or suiko (水虎, "water-tiger")—is a reptiloid kami with similarities to yōkai found in traditional Japanese folklore. Kappa can become harmful when they are not respected as gods. They are typically depicted as green, human-like beings with webbed hands and feet and turtle-

Something

Something Do you seek Me? Do you often seek Me? How can you find Me if you don’t hunt for Me? Don’t you look for what you need most? And since without Me you can do nothing, what do you need more than God? As for Me, I love to act for you and through you.Bossis, Gabrielle. He and I (p. 223). Pauline Books and Media. Kindle Edition. There are many reasons that people do not believe in any kind of deity. Some of the reasons I readily understand, others, well, I don’t

Holidays

The holidays last year were really weird for me; I went through the motions, but my heart wasn't in any of it.   This year, things look different.   Although I feel some sadness about facing another round of holidays without my husband, I find myself wanting to make new memories and to (in some small way) still honor my husband.   So this year I will put up a Christmas tree (I could not emotionally handle it last year), put the ornaments on it in memory of not only my husband and our life togeth

The Christian Path is Incarnational

The Christian Path is Incarnational “Lend Me your body too, when you travel, when you toil, when you eat, and when you sleep. I did all these things when I lived among men. Make Me live again among them, and they must be aware of Me. Bossis, Gabrielle. He and I (p. 206). Pauline Books and Media. Kindle Edition.   ++++++++++ The intimacy that God has with us is something I believe to be beyond our reach to understand.  Since God has been revealed through Jesus Christ

Slime Rat and Lynx Man

Cryptids: Slime Rat & Lynx Man Paul Dale Roberts, HPI's Esoteric Detective Sacramento Paranormal Investigations Halo Paranormal Investigations j When I went to Bologna, Italy with my sergeant major in 1974, I stopped off at the Boom Club. The Boom Club was a exquisite nightclub that looked like a modernized stadium. Of course, I was single and was enjoying the nightlife. I made friends with two Air Force airmen and 2 Italian girls. In Italy, it's very common, well back in 1974, for all

Osmium and the elements of Heavy Metal… Music?

The sciency section will be in the doobedlly doo down below. This isn’t an obfuscation on my part to keep the uneducated masses under the oppressive thumb of ignorance, but a very minor part to the blog as a whole. I will concentrate more on the aspects of entertainment. I hope you enjoy this hastily put together piece as I work on other blog projects.   I didn’t really take an interest in heavy metal until high school (America was still deep in the satanic panic during the 80’s)

Secular take on religious beliefs and health

Seventy-one percent of Americans believe in God or a universal spirit, and 80 percent of blacks and 61 percent of Latinos say these beliefs are very important in their lives, according to The Pew Charitable Trusts. “For those of us interested in reducing health disparities, this may be particularly important,” said Alexandra Shields, HMS associate professor of medicine and director of the Harvard-MGH Center on Genomics, Vulnerable Populations and Health Disparities, as she kicked off the “S

What Lies Beneath

What Lies Beneath This piece was written in 2019. Since then, David has also died. Some of you may remember it, if you decide to read-Br.MD March 20—Holy Hour. “You are worried about the passage from this life to the next? But since it is the greatest proof of love that you can give Me, be glad. Offer your death to Me now with complete detachment, ready even for heroism. Say, ‘Even if I didn’t have to suffer death, I would choose it in order to be more one with Him.’ And in this

HAUNTED GRUYERES CASTLE Paul Dale Roberts, HPI's Esoteric Detective Sacramento Paranormal Investigations Halo Paranormal Investigations During my 12 years in the US Army, I took advantage of travel opportunities.  I could never understand why some soldiers rather hang out at the barracks and not explore the city, the country or neighboring countries.

Pro-life and living in a democratic republic

Marco, a good friend of mine thinks along different lines than I do.  Also, our belief system is different.   Yet, he has helped me a great deal in learning to listen to others who, for the most part, think very differently than I do on Pro-Life issues. Below is a response I gave to one of the participants on Marco's blog.   Pro-life and living in a democratic republic Thank you, Marcia, for your comment.   It is good to be here, I am sort of the odd man out because I

God's Gaze

God’s Gaze “Don’t you feel full of Me? Don’t you see how your physical trials drew Me to you? And your heartbeats that you were able to count tonight —didn’t My own heart beat to the same rhythm? ‘It’s His heart,’ you thought. And right away your faith was enriched and your soul became like a watered garden. You forgot everything so that you might think only of our oneness. Bossis, Gabrielle. He and I (p. 208).

Haunted Highway to Heaven

Haunted Highway to Heaven Paul Dale Roberts, HPI's Esoteric Detective Sacramento Paranormal Investigations Halo Paranormal Investigations There is a section of the I-80 in Wyoming that is known as the "Highway to Heaven" because of an optical illusion that it makes.  On a stormy day, foggy day, or a cloudy day, the stretch of road seems to be reaching toward the sky. Some long-haul truckers refer this stretch of road as The Sisters, because of the twin hills. The Sisters are notoriously ba

“Absence of hope is war.

“Absence of hope is war. Absence of justice is life. Absence of death is suffering. and absence of love is darkness.” ― Swaraj Bhatia, Our Days :A Survival Odyssey   As humans, we do have ideals.  I do, but I can say that I very seldom live up to my ideals in a persistent manner.  Justice for instance is an ideal.  We often call for justice, but in the end, it is mostly based on revenge.  Sometimes, justice or the call for it is just another version of the belief in “blood debt

What I Would Wish Away

What I Would Wish Away I do not believe that wishes come true.  They are something we long for and would wish things were different.  However, reality can be harsh so as much as we would love for things to be different, well, it won’t happen.    Not because it is impossible, but well, we are not a rational species, though we do struggle to be.  Our fears. and instinctive desires can have such a hold on us that we can’t seem to do much about it if any number of issues get a hold of us.  It b
