So nice today ! It was a cold night for us too. My fur baby was coldtoo as she looked up at me meowing. It was so cold on the floor, soI turned it up . She curled up on the back of the recliner so she couldfeel the warmth. And she saw the finishing touches on our fixed walkin front.I do not understand why these hired contractors don’t do it right thefirst time….yeah ‘mo money’…lol Monday they pored a grey liquid, may-be a little cement mixed in and with a big thing with a roller, went overit but the crack was still there. Yesterday, here came the big machinewith the clawed scoop and dug up the cracked concrete. So, today, theconcrete was poured and someone smoothed it out. Well, I guess he didn’tdo it right, so another one came along and re-did the smoothing….LOLNuff said on this subject, except , maybe I just don’t get it.Blessings Always, GGB -

Moved To Her Bathroom…..Kassey
Yesterday the bug spray man came and he sprayed more than he usuallydoes. She showed him the big spider in the bathtub in my room, so due to the spray I hadto use her bathroom. She knew that I wondered why my box was moved to herbathroom. Naturally I went to mine but the door was closed. She told me after the spraydries she’ll move my box back to my bathroom.Today it was stormy and I was on the recliner near the window. She said I should notbe by the window while it was lightening. So I hopped down and went to my new bed for anap. When I got up, she had moved my box back to my bathroom. Maybe she won’t be movingthings around for awhile. Well, a cat can hope, I guess.Blessings Always, Kassey-

Hi Kassey! This is your Mom\’s friend Bob. You are a very patient kitty. Glad your mom moved your bed.. Bug Man leaves behind nasty stuff. Hopefully you are settled now. Has your mom ever given you a bath? I used to have cats before I moved to the Dark Side (Dogs!!) and I tried giving my cat a bath one time, but there was just too much hair on my tongue! Maybe I did it wrong??Anyhow, my dogs say WOOF!! Be a good girl and sleep with your mom!!

ASPARAGUS
I received this in email and it’s important material.ASPARAGUS
"My Mom had been taking the full-stalk canned-style asparagus that she pureed,
and she took 4 tablespoons in the morning and 4 tablespoons later in the
day. She did this for over a month. She is on chemo pills for Stage 3 lung
cancer in the pleural area, and her cancer cell count went from 386 down to 125
as of this past week. Her oncologist said she does not need to see him for 3
months."THE ARTICLE:
Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus for a friend who had
cancer. He gave me a photocopied copy of an article, entitled, ‘Asparagus for
cancer’, printed in Cancer News Journal.I will share it here, just as it was
shared with me:
‘I am a biochemist, and have specialized in the relation of diet to health
for over 50 years…Several years ago, I learned of the discovery
of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S., that asparagus might
cure cancer. Since then, I have worked with him on his
project.&nbs p;We have accumulated a number of favorable case histories.Here are a few examples:
Case No. 1,
A man with an almost hopeless case of Hodgkin’s disease (cancer of the lymph
glands) who was completely incapacitated.
Within 1 year of starting the asparagus therapy, his doctors were unable to
detect any signs of cancer, and he was back on a schedule of
strenuous exercise..Case No. 2,
A successful businessman, 68 years old, who suffered from cancer of the bladder
for 16 years. After years of medical treatments, including radiation without
improvement, he went on asparagus.
Within 3 months, examinations revealed that his bladder tumor had disappeared
and that his kidneys were normal.Case No. 3,
A man who had lung cancer. On March 5th, he was put on the operating table
where they found lung cancer so widely spread that it was inoperable. The
surgeon sewed him up and declared his case hopeless. On April 5th he heard
about the asparagus therapy and immediately started taking it.By August, x-ray pictures revealed that all signs of the cancer had
disappeared… He is back at his regular business routine.Case No. 4,
A woman who was troubled for a number of years with skin cancer. She finally
developed different skin cancers=2 0which were diagnosed, by asking a specialist,
as advanced. Within 3 months after starting on asparagus, her skin specialist
said that her skin looked fine, and no more skin lesions.This woman reported that the asparagus therapy also cured her kidney disease,
which started in 1949. She had over 10 operations for kidney stones, and was
receiving government disability payments for an inoperable, terminal, kidney
condition.She attributes the cure of this kidney trouble entirely to the asparagus.
I was not surprised at this result, as `The Elements of
Materia Medica’, edited in 1854 by a Professor at the University
of Pennsylvania , stated that asparagus was used as a popular remedy for kidney
stones. He even referred to experiments, in 1739, on the power of asparagus in
dissolving stones.We would have other case histories but the medical establishment has interfered
with our obtaining some of the records. I am therefore appealing to readers to
spread this good news and help us to gather a large number of case histories
that will overwhelm the medical skeptics about this unbelievably simple and
natural remedy.For the treatment, asparagus should be cooked before using, and
therefore canned asparagus is just as good as fresh. I have corresponded with
the two leading canners of asparagus, Green Giant and Stokely,&nbs p;and I am
satisfied that these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives.Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree, and store
in the refrigerator.
Give the patient 4 full tablespoons twice daily, morning and evening.Patients usually show some improvement in from 2-4 weeks. It can be diluted
with water and used as a cold or hot drink.This suggested dosage is based on present experience, but certainly larger
amounts can do no harm and may be needed in some cases.As a biochemist I am convinced of the old saying that `what cures can prevent’.
Based on this theory, my wife and I have been using asparagus puree as a
beverage with our meals. We take 2 tablespoons diluted in water to suit our
taste with breakfast and with dinner. I take mine hot and my wife prefers
hers cold. For years we have made it a practice to have blood surveys taken as
part of our regular
checkups…The last blood survey, taken by a medical doctor who specializes in the
nutritional approach to health, showed substantial improvements in all
categories over the last one, and we can attribute these improvements to
nothing but the asparagus drink…As a biochemist, I have made an extensive study of all aspects of cancer, and
all of the proposed cures. As a result, I am convinced that asparagus fits in
bet ter with the latest theories about cancer. Asparagus contains a good supply
of protein called histones, which are believed to be active in controlling cell
growth. For that reason, I believe asparagus can be said to contain a substance
that I call cell-growth normalizer. That
accounts for its action on cancer and in acting as a general body tonic.In any event, regardless of theory, asparagus used as we suggest is a harmless
substance. The FDA cannot prevent you from using it and it may do you much
good..It has been reported by the U.S. National Cancer Institute that asparagus is
the highest-tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the
body’s most potent anti-carcinogens and anti-oxidants.Please spread the news! The most unselfish act one can ever do is to
forward the kindness one has received!

JUST THINKING ….KASSEY
We like the rain, but hoping for a dry weekend for the communityyardsale. She usually doesn’t participate, but helps my Aunt J. This isa community thing which is more fun for me as so many people are buy-ing things they ‘can’t live without’.I enjoy watching people as humans do. And they can be funny or puz-zling to a cat. When ‘she’s’ busy, I ‘meow’ to get her attention, coz I wantan explaination sometimes. And sometimes I just want her to stop what she’sdoing and pet me. Well, I am her best friend and she’s the center of my world.Sometimes I just look at her for awhile and she says, ‘What’s on your mind?" Ilove doing this….funny humans…lolI am enjoying my new bed coz I’m sleeping on her bed without disturbance.She did move it closer to her but I noticed so she put it back….silly human. I alsoenjoy walking across her to get to my bed. Why should I have to go to the end ofthe bed to jump up? When I leave the window it’s just more fun to jump on her night-table and walk right beside her and across her to get to my bed. Humans just needto understand that this is how it is.I must go now and nap a little on this rainy day. It has stopped for awhile butstill cloudy and cooler.Blessings Always, Kassey-
Connie
Kassey, you are so right about humans needing to understand that\’s just how it is. I walk across my people at night, why should I have to walk around the bed to jump up when it\’s more direct to just jump up and walk across them. And, as you said…more fun, too! Snickers

Kassey, hallo! We also love the rain, it\’s such fun to watch the drops hitting the window pane. We don\’t get enough rain and we hear the humans talking all the time about how bad the drought was last year. We absolutely agree with you about walking over your human. After all, it isn\’t as though you were an elephant, why should she object to you taking a little shortcut?Best wishes, Possum and Pixie
-
Rambling
I agree with you Kassey. Sometimes I actually rare up on my back legs and come down on my human\’s tummy with my front legs. She doesn\’t like that BUT it gets the job done..what job? Getting her awake to tend to me.

Talking about New Bed For Me….Kassey
Yippee !! She is so happy this morning. She saw me sleeping in my new bed and she didn’t know I was there until she woke this nice rainy morning. She had to get up early coz she and my Aunt J were gonna have a yard sale. And this would have been fun for me coz I would see a lot of people. We went back to bed and slept in for awhile. It was so nice sleeping on her bed and I’m sure she will take a picture when she catches me taking a nap.
Usually when their yardsale is rained out, they have it later, but it’s ok coz I’ll have fun too.

New Bed For Me….Kassey
She always thinks our sleeping arrangements will get better.Ok, maybe when I decide it’s better. You see,she bought me a nice bed.But I’m not sure if I want to sleep in it. In the first place, it looks like adog’s bed ! And if I sleep in it, I can’t sleep touching her. Now I ask youfeline friends, would you even consider sleeping in this bed? Last night Ihid from her, but finally came into the bedroom….turned around and wentback to the living-room. Well, this should tell her something. Oh my, what’sa cat to do?-

Kassey, what a good girl!!! You tried your new bed. Now with a clear conscience you can sleep in your mom\’s bed while she\’s busy!

Kassey..I have to tell you it took a full year before I slept in my bed. A little fleece oval with a short rim. Just right for my short legs. Mom was a little perturbed at my indifference but she moved it occasionally from place to place till she finally found the place I would try. It is behind the TV on the floor of course. But it\’s out if the way of everyone and gives a girl some privacy. Leave this where your mom can see it so she won\’t give up.Purrs and whisker tickles..Miss Catt

Shimona from the Palace
Well, we prefer to sleep with our human, one on each side of her. We do have a bed – at least Possum does, because he took it over as a kind of day bed. Of course, the disadvantage of sleeping with our human is that when she moves around (and humans are really TWITCHY when they sleep, aren\’t they?) it disturbs US. Still, you are lucky to have alternatives available. We are pro-choice!Possum and Pixie

Harmony
Dear Kassey, mom, (Harmony) bought me a nice big bed too. It\’s very plush, faux mink and is very comfy so she keeps telling me only how she would know, I will never know. I, however have not slept in it. First, the other cats had to check it out and get their scent on it to claim it for their own and then lost interest and abandoned it. Now it has all of their scent on it and I\’m not quite sure if I want to try it out. Time will tell. Maybe give your bed a try, you might like it. However, that said, we are cats and we do what we want and can turn our little feline noses up at things just to keep our humans on their toes. hehe. Hugs to your mama and you.Bazzy the cat. x

Closed Doors……Kassey
My human has closed off her bedroom and bathroom. She waited for me togo to sleep so she could spray these rooms for spiders because she said she had been bittenby one. While the spray dries, we sleep in the livingroom. I don’t mind this becauseI like the recliner and she’s with me too. I do miss looking out the bedroom window and I’m sureit won’t be long until she moves back in there. Oh , how I miss that window !Until next time, this is Kassey, wishing you all Blessings…. ~ Kassey-

Kassey, you and she will be fine..it\’s only for a night. Thank goodness she is OK though, you know? Spider bites are scary.Love,Miss Catt

Here in the UK we do not have biting creepy crawlies at all to worry about but at the moment our house pest is a mouse and a very lucky one too. Several times over the years when the weather turns cold and wet one or two come in from the garden and I catch them in traps. This autumn we have one which is so careful about taking bait from the trap that it has escaped fully fed. I on the other hand have bruised and sore fingers after the trap has sprung while I have been handling it. I shall have to get a trap FELINE style to do the job. Would Kassie like a holiday over here for two weeks full board and lodging with the odd midnight feast.Ossie

I Tried Sleeping In Her Room….Kassey
I have been a very patient cat but until she inflates a bigger bed, I will noteven try to sleep with her. Yesterday, she re-arranged my bedroom and itlooks good. So to show my appreciation, last night I tried two times to getcomfortable on her little bed. I got up and came back. Well, it’s the same oldthing with her moving about. I just could not take it, so I left and never re-turned until morning, pawing at her precious blinds. She really hates that andsaid, "get outta here, I’m not ready to get up." She got up about an hour later.She said the filter man was coming today and then she and my Aunt Jeannewere going to town…..so I’ll be alone on this cloudy day catching some zzzzz’s.Love And Blessings, Kassey-
Rambling
Oh Kassey..isn\’t it annoying when our mom\’s toss and turn and here you actually went in to sleep with her? I mean, that was so nice of you, and her bed was inhospitable to you. What kind of deal is THAT? But at least she made sure your bedroom as nice and comfy..so..when you get a chance, snuggle with her in the living room,

Leaves of Gold again……Kindness
KINDNESSThough the world needs reproof and correction, it needs kindness more; though it needs thegrasp of the strong hand, it needs too, the open palm of love and tenderness.~ Henry Ward BeecherThe person who sows seeds of kindness will have a perpetual harvest.~ AnonymousLife is short and we have not too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travel-ing the dark way with us, Oh, be swift to love! Make haste to be kind!~ Henry Frederic AmielAsk Him to increase your powers of sympathy; to give you more quickness and depth of sym-pathy , in little changes as well as great. Opportunities of doing a kindness are often lost frommere want of thought. Half a dozen lines of kindness may bring sunshine into the whole dayof some sick person. Think of the pleasure you might give to someone who is much shut up,and who has fewer pleasures than you have, by sharing with her some little comfort or enjoy-ment that you have learned to look upon as a necessary of life.~ G.W. WilkinsonKindness is loving people more than they deserve.~ Joseph JoubertBlessings Always, GGB-

If you\’re looking for a book to read that speaks to this try "The incredible intensity of everyday lives".

Thank you for the reminder.
