Koffla did a satire on Sha'Carri Richardson At The Olympics who can definitely outrun POTUS#45 no matter how much marijuana that she smokes. POTUS#45 doesn't need marijuana to enhance the munchies.
Nevertheless, Throw Back Thursday - The year 1995. My teenage decided to run in the Los Angeles Marathon. We drove to Los Angeles to get him registered. We were standing in line with a man from Ethiopia approached my with his application and gave my $50. to get him registered. The man's name was Berkana. Apparently there were individuals trying to keep Berkana from entering the race. We found out why later on.
Fortunately Berkana choose my who was honest enough to take the money and get him registered. So the next day, we returned to Los Angeles and my entered the race. My husband and I watched the race from a hotel. Joshua won about 10,000th place while Berkana won 3rd place. Considering that there were several thousand running the Los Angeles Marathon. I was proud of Joshua. I was even more proud of the his honesty and integrity that he was able to help the man from Ethiopia get into the race when others were trying to block him which allowed him to win 3rd Place.
Being a winner doesn't always mean getting 1st Place. I have entered running events myself and my goal was never to make it to the front of the pac I am not really built for speed. I was happy just to finish the race.

Chiron, Healing Stones, & Jewelry

I was doing a horary chart for Maudie to help locate a gold bracelet and noted that the moon was keeping company with Chiron in the chart.
This indicates that this bracelet is more than just a piece of jewelry. There is a special connection to it. Chiron in the charts indicates areas of woundedness. Chiron was the wounded healer.
I have jewelry that feel soothing and comforting to wear. When Grumpy "crossed over" there was major league grief. He had a gold dragon ring with tiny ruby eyes that he was very fond of. If I wore it on my hand, it would quickly get lost. I found a Malachite Heart necklace at the Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. The ring fit perfectly around the malachite heart so I wear the ring as part of a necklace. I always feel secure and safe when I wear that necklace.
I recently started wearing a Feng Shui Obsidian Bracelet with a Pixiu talisman. Some schools of thought say to wear it on the dominant hand while others say to wear it on the nondominant hand. I interchange it to whatever suits me for the day. I also started adding Chakra Balancing bracelets.
It is not very scientific but at least I am not getting to flame wars, creating multiple profiles, preaching religion while acting like an azzzz.
Does anyone else have jewelry that has sentimental value or even magickal properties?

I cast the chart at 3ish in the AM in WSS,VW
Maudie is represented by the Planetary Rule of the 11th House (Friend) and the gold bracelet is represented by the natural ruler of Jewelry (Venus). The moon is also considered for additional insight.
Pisces is in the 11th House with tradition ruler, Jupiter in the 10th house. I also noted that Pisces' traditional ruler, Neptune. Both Jupiter and Neptune are retrograde which is a good indication that you will get the bracelet back. Neptune is keeping company with the Moon and Chiron. The Bracelet is more than just a piece of jewelry to you. It has healing properties and is comforting when you wear it.
Leo (Gold) Venus (Jewelry) is found in the third house (Neighbor or Sibling). It is near a heat source or sunny location in a place low to the ground. Venus is keeping company with Mars. A male relative, neighbor, or perhaps someone with a military background will locate the bracelet and bring it to you.

Photo Friday - The Letter "H" Haunted Farm, Horary Astrology, & The Holy Trinity

The first time I visited the Haunted Farm, I took a group of women from Oakhurst where I was employed These were women who just came out of prison to enter our program for recovery from drug addiction. My goal was to show them that there is a whole world out there without drugs. A few years later I worked at the Haunted Farm. If all goes well, I will be working there this year.
Horary Astrology works by asking a question, casting a chart based on the timing of the question, and answering the question according to the information in the chart. I did a chart to find a lost cell phone. The chart indicated that it was in the Seventh House (with someone else) - It was in my girlfriend's car.
The Holy Trinity is needed to make Jambalaya - Pepper, Onion, and Celery.

Throw Back Thursday - Drama & Death In The Family
|
Posted:Jun 30, 2021 10:04 pm
Last Updated:Jul 2, 2021 8:54 pm 26629 Views

It seems like in my family there is always drama when there is a death in the family. There is blame, fighting over "things" and arguments. My mother would always end up in the booby hatch. She couldn't handle death at all. I am sure that is why she stepped to the other side so quickly. She didn't need time to think about it.
I was in Nevada in 2006 when I got a message from my niece that my oldest brother was seriously ill and last rites had been done. I rode the Greyhound from Nevada to Arkansas. By the time that I made it to Arkansas, my brother came out of the coma and was coherent. My siblings believe that he would recover but he did not. He lapsed back into the coma a few days after I arrived.
I have worked in health care and know that denying or sugarcoating the inevitable does not help the patient. My sister was offended and started cussing me on the other side of my brother's death bed. She didn't like the term "crossing over" and
was not comfortable with my spiritual beliefs Soon we were screaming at each other across my brother's hospital bed.
Dear Sis:
I thank you for the hospitality that you show me when I was in Arkansas. I am sure that you are aware that I have been involved with a 12 Step Program for a number of years. One of the things we learn is taking responsibility for our own mistakes.
We were all trying to deal with our Brother's Death to the best of our ability. My best was dealing with it in spiritual terms and be assured that he would okay with the transition that we all must eventually make.
I don't know what your agenda was for saying what you said but my mistake was feeling hurt and reacting to it. For that I apologize.
I was told that you were offended by the term "crossing over." This is a Native American Term. I have been a member of the Native American Community for a number of years. I have participated in Sweat Lodge Ceremonies, gone to Pow Wow's and other Native American Gathering. I am personally more comfortable using that term than some of the other phases.
Certainly, the term "Crossing Over" is no more offensive than "Dang Bro, Am I going to have to use that Dr. Pepper bottle to hold your cremated remains!." I would be horrified if someone said that to me when I was on my deathbed.
I also heard stories of rumors being circulated in the family that I am a Crazed Satanist, doing strange rituals and putting spells on people. This is totally untrue. I don't even believe in Satan. I do believe in Good and Evil but we are all God's . Most folks are evolving in the direction of Good.
I am certainly not the first person to have problems with the "Hell Fire Damnation" Concept of God.
Nevertheless, My Spirituality is something that I take VERY seriously. I would have never been able to maintain almost 30 years of sobriety if I did not have a working relationship with my Higher Power.
So I think outside the box when it comes to God. I don't need some preacher on the pulpit to define God for me. No one religion has an excursive on God. What is important is to seek God, The path we use to find him is secondary.
Nevertheless, the horror stories circulating about me have absolutely no validity.
Step Eight and Nine have to do with clearing out negative energy and airing grievances respectfully. This is what I am attempting to do. You are quite correct in stating that I don't have a clue about your life. You don't have a clue about my life either. Our lives have evolved to the yearly Christmas Card exchange.
Namaste!
Sis

Living on Death Row
|
Posted:Jun 30, 2021 9:06 pm
Last Updated:Jul 3, 2021 12:10 pm 26445 Views

Yesterday, I was sitting at my computer next to the living room window. I noticed a cop walking by. Interesting, we don't have a bunch of lawbreakers living here. A hour later, there are several paramedics walking by. I figured something must be happening next door. My neighbor has serious health problems. I peeked out my door and indeed they are all in his apartment. My inclination is to stay out of thier way but I did call another neighbor and asked what was going on with Jason.
He died. His careprovider came in this morning and found him. Jason is the fourth neighbor who died in that apartment. A lady who lived on the other side of my apartment also died. Sometimes I have to ask, "Am I living on Death Row."
Since I live in senior housing, it should be a normal occurrence but it still feels strange.
Jason was a retired EMT. His ex-wife was a New York City police officer. I drove him to numerous medical appointments, to the grocery store and to the bank until he was able to get in-home support services. His care-provider walked in and found him yesterday morning.
I found the previous neighbor sitting in my car in the middle of winter. Regina forgot where she lived. She was totally confused and disoriented. I tried guiding her back to her apartment but she kept wanting to head to the forest looking for her previous home. I got her to safety and called the Paramedics. She had Leukemia but I am not sure the treatments helped her. They may have done more harm than good. She died when she was hospitalized.
There was Marion, an elderly woman who left her abusive husband. The 1000 year flood happened when she was living there. There was no running water for about a month. I made sure that she had bottled water and groceries. She was hoping to outlive her husband so that she could get his money. She didn't. She had a heart attack and died first.
The next gentleman died as I moving in. I never met him.
The woman on the other side of the apartment was Nancy. She had mental health problems but that doesn't make her a moral issue. I also made sure that she had food and water during the 1000 year flood. Her lost her home and job during the flood thus had her own troubles to deal with. The Greenbrier housed flood victims including the . The was offered a job and eventfully the hotel helped her with Nursing School. It took a while for the McDonald's where the previously worked to be rebuilt. When Nancy would not answer her phone her knew something was wrong. The police found her dead.
So why does the Angel of Death keep bypassing my door? Regina and Nancy were younger. Jason was my age while Marion was a tad bit older. There comes a point where stepping over to the other side is not the major league tragedy.
I often miss the person that I used to be when I was younger. I can't run a 10K anymore nor can I lift 50 pound boxes of merchandise at my retail job. I am waiting for a new hip so that I don't have to walk with a cane. Guys are not lined up at my doorstep declaring their love (more like lust) for me. That might be a good thing. Still, I have to be grateful to what I can still do. I can make sure that my neighbors are okay.

Jesus and the Bad Guy

Hello. Laugh for the day.
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said, 'Jesus knows you're here.'
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more, he shook his head and continued.
Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard 'Jesus is watching you.'
Startled, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.
'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.
'Yes', the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that he's watching you.'
The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?'
'Moses,' replied the bird.
'Moses?' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?'
'The kind of people who would name a Rottweiler Jesus.' Replied the Parrot

My apartment patio has a small garden space. I purchased a Gnome and a Gargoyle for the garden when I first move . I remember placing them in the garden, going back inside and walking out find both the Gnome and Gargoyle missing. What the @#!$!!!! Coming down the sidewalk was a huge black dog with the gnome in his mouth. The mutt saw me coming after him. He dropped the gnome and it went rolling down a hill. It was quite the feat for me retrieve that gnome and I had practically crawl up the hill with the gnome. I never did find the gargoyle but that gnome did become the first resident in the garden.
I didn't know the 's so I called him Thug. Apparently he would visit all the residents in the apartment building for treats. He also had a habit of stealing things. I surrounded the gnome with chili peppers and kept a bag of treats for the Thug Dog

Earlier this week, one of the local customers whom I silently call Archie Bunker came into WallyWorld and asked "Who are you working with...........Obama (meaning my black co-worker).
"Oh You must mean our future President," I replied.
American is NOT ready for a Black President. "The Country is going to Hades because of Yankee Liberals like you who vote for spooks like Obama," he rants.
I advised him, "Actually........ my vote went to Hillary but she's not going to win." He walks away muttering about them darn California Liberals. He still insists that California is a Yankee Northern State.
He walked over to my Black co-worker, points at him and says, "I'm watching you Boy."
Later , I talked the Black Co-Worker called Obama by Mr. Bunker. What's with that guy, is he a wizard under the sheets. "Naw, he's not a racist, he's just plain crazy."
The next morning, another co-workers is ranting about Obama winning the Primary. "America is NOT ready for a Black President." In humor, I suggested that perhaps Obama should consider Jeremiah Wright as a running mate.
Dang, was America ready for the end of Jim Crow Laws? America might want consider getting ready for a Black President.
Actually the Local customer, Mr. Bunker is a White Dinosaur and Jeremiah Wright is a Black Dinosaur.
