Hi

Tomorrow, I will tell you about the computer story more in depth, okay?

I will save it for you.

It's a little late here. I will just greet you and say good night at the same time.

Nice to you see you.

Donna.

My Cats

Two are here. I don't need to keep things up. I will write for you two.

I am listening to that kind of music which inspires you to code.

I bought icons. And I don't have it on this machine, so I might get another license.

So whatever. For right now, I am exploring those icons to see if it is worth it.

Here is my past-time.

Here's my cats.

See if you can find my cats. There are in the word search list.

Your hint.

Find an L in Hebrew for a start.

Find an M in Hebrew for a start.

So, having found 2 letters, what is next? Check your work.

In the code, we have, Donna's cats good. My cats are good cats.

That is 1 view. Donna Cat Good.

And to get the names, I need to move the slide. The names do not appear in the code output record. That does not mean much. I spot checked. So, no, the names are not there. Let's try another.

Before I leave, I look for His Holiness His Majesty. His Presence is marked in this room.

His Holiness would be incomplete without my family, my cats, my tribes, and me in his courts forever.

He loves my cats. He wrote their names into his Word and Book of Life, so we would always be in his Presence. It's our eternal walk to end up before his throne.

And that is why I will find my cats here in the scripture.

My King's outlines are in the scripture. Can you see his throne, his crown, and his form? He is there on the left side. Where is he not?

The words bring me here.

Good appears to be Tob. That is a guess.

Here is my Saving God.

See what he does? I spoke this scripture to a locked bathroom door, and it opened. I was in a not so great bathroom, for which the lights went out, in a restaurant in another nation. And it would have been bad to be locked in a bathroom. Have you ever been in a locked room? Well, this scripture is a key to open the door which won't open. This scripture opens a portal in the locked door, and lets you out. The portal is an angel's hand opening the lock, but whatever. You get out.

I am showing you Martius. And while I show you my cat, look at my God.

He is described on the left.

Praise him, Jehovah, for all my days. Praise him for my Earthly days and for all the terrillions of days into the Eternity he has for me, and my cats.

Praise him, Lucius and Martius, because Jehovah is your Big Cat Daddy. You can prove it. In code, put Jehovah Cat Daddy. It's there.

All the cat characters are in scripture.

Mine are. In this code here, you see my Martius cat is good.

And what about my Lucius cat?

Neither are perverted. They are Jehovah's holy seed set into his creation. They are not mixed seed.

They are pure. And my God Jehovah has set his sights upon them to bring them home, where I go.

Pure seed. Pure seed heads home where he is.

Well, where we find my Lucius cat, we find he is good and he is a roaring Lion. Well, how handy we have a pen holder to feature him today.

That Lucius cat which is pure will endure. Hey! The impure one will not. To name a hell creature Lucius, after I have modelled my Lucius after the godly, his name alone is not enough to make him endure. It's that he is pure which makes him endure.

Do we understand? To apply a name only to something you made from hell creation does not make it holy. The way of these things has been described in scripture. You can't just willy nilly take whatever you want, and apply icing on the top of hell bread, and feed it to people.

It's not Lucius' name which saves. It is Yeshua. Yeshua died on the cross to save man, and in his purpose to renew all creation. And there will be a Lucius in that future, because I have kept a pure seed cat for the future, for my God. (This is what Noah did when he loaded the ark. He did exactly this. And so, in the rapture, you should expect exactly the same thing. My animals go home. They will be saved for that future Jesus has. They are being saved as classic seed. I am into classic, not perverted. Classic seed is like produce like.)

Jehovah's voice is flowing here. And how I know is I go to the scripture on the left column, and I find commonality. I see. And I know, our voice here is one. I get a concept from a glance, write, and then read deeply. So, let's find a parallel as a test of the voice. On the left column, find hell bread. It is there. And that is because my voice and his became one.

I have a phenomenon to share. The code here has one.

You see CatMom's name close to her cat Lucius. As a matter of fact, Lucius has been here helping me cut this code.

My readers are to test the hell bread. You are to test that which you take in, and test it for purity and holiness.

You are to be separate, dealing in the holy.

We are looking at the second Lucius code. It says here, if you need wisdom, and even if you ask beasts, they will speak to you that Jehovah is God.

Test the worthless and unholy, and refine your world. Keep the holy.

Whether the message is verbal or not, you can see the Creator's hand touch and paint stroke inside his creation, and in all the marvelous things he put in there.

He put in the proof. Yes, the proof is in the pudding.

You test and judge a baker by the fine craft of his pudding. Well, you have examined the pudding of creation, and it all speaks to the Baker who made it all.

Yeah. Review the story of Creation. After God created his creation, he declared them good. Now, examine how good God made his cat Lucius. He made him good.

Good.

The pink word is cat.

Now, I realize it is my job to release Jehovah's breath to you.

And I don't need to make all the ends tie up, or seal the bread.

It is for my reader to digest.

However, I will return to the Lion's roar, which is that my Lucius is holy, and your fakeout copy and recreation of my good is not. And fakeout reveals fakeout fruit, whatever that is. You can apply gold to an exterior, but you can't make the interior gold. You can fakeout God, but you can't become God, because God Is. He Is. Hoo. Over all this business, I cry out hoo.

And I am turning to getting a photo. I can end here. However, what is coming is the Lion Roar. And it's amazing it is on a pen holder. Hoo.

Before I go, I feel inspired for one more. And I bet it lands in Song of Songs, because my Husband is there. Cat Daddy.

Where men are good cat daddies, they are taking after their heavenly father, and my Husband.

Permit me to show you Cat Daddy. He is here in the Word.

See the word Daddy. It is not just Dad.

Cat Daddy Jehovah sees upon the Earth all the saving ways of men, who like their Father, Cat Daddy, save Jehovah's creation. And he has reward for those who come to him.

Where your Father is, he brings reward to his sons.

I even saw a man save a crocodile. Jehovah is Creator of that crocodile. So, it would behoove that man to make it to heaven, so he can receive the reward God has set aside for him.

The pure seed crocodile belongs to Jehovah, just like all creation and hosts of heaven are. It would be a mistake to worship the creature, rather than the Creator. God made that crocodile with designs in him which reflect your Creator. So, just in case, just in case you made a mistake, your crocodile is created, and made by intelligent design. You don't want to pray to your crocodile pet. Okay? But you can have friendship with him, if that is what you do.

As to the impure, crocodile men are coming, but they are hell seed.

Ports. Portals. Mankind will witness this thing, as surely as Jehovah is Prophet.

And in this, you will see the manifestation of slander in the flesh. So those who love to slander, get ready to see the physical presence of your words.

Hoo. Hoo. Hoo.

As a good teacher, I build in our previous. Now, from the previous code, you know the word cat. Find it on the page. One of my nicknames for my cats is cato. The Hebrew for cat seems a bit like this nickname. What do you think? Catol. French is chat. Maybe chatol.

I am chasing Daddy.

Who do you see in Cat Dadddy's eyes?

Here is Daddy in this matrice.

One of Jehovah Father Cat Daddy forms is a Lion. When I show you the picture of the pen holder here shortly, you are seeing that he walks in the form of a Lion, and he is the Roaring Lion of Judah.

And his servant angels also walk in the form he does. They walk in the form of lions.

Jehovah manifests as the Roaring Lion. Cat Daddy is in the Song of Songs, as I said.

Jehovah, Prince of All Good, is here. Jehovah Cat Daddy is here.

In this case, the code says Daddy is here. I am searching for him.

The purple letter. This is not simple always. The word daddy is longer than dad.

I checked to see if the price would lift off. It does not.

I can scrape it off. But that seemed uncool. For now, I've left it.

It seems like paint.

Jehovah the Cat Daddy appreciates all manners of kindness shown to his creation.

And he declares his seed and his creation good.

Jehovah is Good. And his brand is good. Good.

Treat with respect all things Jehovah has made good.

Do not treat them unholy.

The picture here reminds me of a King.

My heart's message to you is nearing completion.

Please take away from this encounter all which is good.

For now, I take my leave of my visitors. You may stay. As to this effort to remove dust, I am moving to organizing cupboards, and reducing the house volume. Recall Kindness. God is Kind and Good. His name is Dear.

Perhaps we will meet again. And in the meantime, when you step in the wind, feel his embrace. His Spirit is in the Wind. Until we meet again, Adieu. And, hoo.

Dear: https://www.ccel.org/ccel/julian/revelations.v.i.html

The nature of his Endearing is meant to deliver all creation to their eternal good.

Update: Upon my re-read, and review, I am taking my dust pan to that ornament, and cleaning around it. Dust. Oh well.

Hey

I will add a pic of the pen holder.

Tomorrow.

Hello Portugal. Nice to see you. I just did an approximate count. I have about 10 James Wharton drawings to play with yet. I hope you come back. I am not doing it overnight or anything. It just gives you an idea of my play time in the future.

When I work, I make perspective corrections as I go. Freehand with the mouse. Sometimes, I use the Wacom, but I find the Wacom does weird things. I can trust the mouse more.

I set up music in my office. So, I will be mucking with my keyboard for a bit. A different one. And it's up. My cat is sleeping on it. Yes, a good musical instrument needs to be slept upon by my Lulu. My husband made me a cover for it, out of hard wood. Add a fur. The cat uses that.

Anyway, I need to adjust my chair, because the keyboard is up on office desk height. So, I need to use an adjustable chair. I may have to swap things around. I would like to get symphony working on the keyboard. And when I do work on it, obviously, it will be uncovered. And no kitten will be on it then. My room is more kitten friendly at this moment. It is cleaned up, with plenty of kitten room. I was rejoicing for Martius. He usually sleeps at our feet. However, I've cleared space out for him, so he is comfy between our desks.

In this room, at this moment, there is a huge absence of dust. It is amazing.

I like to share things with you which help you, and are helpful to people who read this blog.

So, here's one. I almost killed a computer having it on the floor. Yeah. Almost. It's fans are like a vacuum. And it would drag all the room dust and cat fur into it. Don't forget Donna hair. My hair stuck to the outside. It did not go in. Anyway, I made a space up for my computer. And in doing that, I discovered it is beautiful, with pretty lights, and a window. So, it is art. And now it is up and looking pretty beside me, instead of being the office vaccum cleaner.

It did not die. You can bet I prayed to God to help the computer restart, once I had made my decisions on what to do about the machine. One of the fans had died over the years. And we found that out. And we added one in, and now, it is working happily.

So, if anyone out there is having trouble with their computer, because they have it on the floor, maybe get it up. It does not like cat hair. And even being on the desk, I clear cat fur from the front grill once a day. And that just comes from the air. What can I say....

And so, now you see one reason why I have cleaned my house, not just this room, of dust. I don't like what it does. I don't just blame fur/hair. You need to know how dust accumulates in your home. If dust accumulates pretty quickly, the floor is a bad spot for a computer.

Here is the guts of that computer.

I used to make circuit boards for a living, so they are a thing of beauty to me.

I will let you go, if you need to, and I will watch for you again. Later.

Mouse

I use all these mice. Today, that is the collection on my desktop.

And each one is for a different box.

I have a mouse collection. Do you?

I see a fix to do here. I had downloaded new software. And I was giving this a try. This is a new Corel. And so, I was just checking it out. But I see something. Oh yeah, and I tried a couple Adobe apps, which I don't open much. I might add one. However, it needs a fix too.

Okay, I will show you a little cute out of a simple Adobe Tool.

I am playing around. You may join me in review of pretty colors. I used Adobe Express for this bit. And the first one here, with the roses, I made with new Corel.

This set coming is by Adobe Express.

Ready?

Because color is therapeutic, I hope my color ministers to someone here today.

Have a good day.

And please note, that I do not run a charity. I do not collect money for charity. I do not have a Non-profit. Whenever you see that, you found a faker. Okay? Some use my picture. I am putting up a new profile picture with security applied. So, all the hackers, make sure you come and try it out, because it's encrypted. Yeah. Go on. Try. For the rest of the honest folk here, do not let a faker use my picture to get my details out of you.

Because I had my details ripped off, and used around for fraudulent purpose, and for others, I recommend applying security settings to things you put online, and I am moving toward a plan for social media. It is possible to set settings on your social media data. Know that. Figure it out. And big companies, you should help out. Show people what to do, to avoid having their key data ripped off and misused. It's possible to live safe in a technology world. For those I meet, I help them secure their life. It's a good practice. Help out your neighbor. My needs are met. My needs are big. My needs are met. I found the answers I need. Now, I just need to apply them.

To those whom my picture means much, such things need a reflective heart. I am working on those images this week. And they will be up end of week. Decrypt my puzzle. See if you can.

For those who do fundraisers using my name, I did have donate button once a long time ago. And it was up for several years. Noone donated in all that time, so perhaps you should go get work instead. This is my consolation. I am counting on people doing what they did. I am wondering how many fake profiles one person can run. I am wondering how many you run to make a living. I am not planning to find out. And what checks and balances are there online to eliminate the faker content, which is negative value on the Internet. It's not a positive value. There's no epiphany finding it. There's only pain. So, pleasure or pain. There needs to be less pain on the Internet.

As to authors online, I've discovered file locks. On your published content, put file locks. This is an area I am working on. And as I meet authors, I will share these concepts. You protect your data. You step in, and prevent the copy. I feel so much better, that I've found this. And I plan to cure many people's headaches by showing them how. I prayed about this overall issue. And I believe God showed me what to do. And because I believe in righteousness, justice, and Kingdom, I will share what I know with you. I have a plan to release more books. Nothing goes up without a file lock.

There is a possibility I may forego personal images online as well. Either I forego them, or I secure them. Anyway, maybe it is time for a new image. Expect glitter. Where the previous image is, consider that out of date. And look for something with glitter on it. You might see me, somewhere in the glitter.

I have one more thing to enlighten my Reader's day. I picked up a heavyweight. I put it on bills. And it flattens them to like pre-bought material, super flat. And they take up a tenth of the space. You are getting my estimate. It is awesome for your office. Get one. I am working toward a low dust space. I've not made one, but say you had a pile of recent paper in your office. You could do the same thing. You make a press. You set a press upon the pile of paper. It gets crushed super flat. And that fits in spaces later, if you want your paper super-pressed. You want paper, but you don't want floofy paper. You don't want paper which takes up space. And you do need business history etc. So, you need to keep it. So, press it. Uncrushed paper leaves room for dust. I don't like dust. Crush it. You get less dust.

Thanks. 

אילת

Today, and I am using new software tools, but listen, I enter words in Hebrew, and Google provides the right correct suggestion for words now.

אילת is the word I am aiming for.

Yeah. It is correcting me to actual words.

I am typing in things I see on objects. I typed in the last letter wrong. And there's the right letter, right there.

I think I decoded branding. Hang on. Words. I see words.

These objects came to me via a downsize. I have a pen holder. I use the pen holder to identify working pens.

And I had not looked at it recently, but I see Hebrew, and I would like to know what my object says.

I have another word.

תל חי
Tel Hay
Hey.
I expect a brand. That might be it.
Update: I searched the Internet. Tel Hai, Israel.



This object bears my name. This object came from my dad's house. And I have brought it out, because when my dad arrives, he often bears a tune, and he needs to write out chords to play music. And the organ is working, so he plays it.

And for a musician, they need a working pen. I put the working pen holder on the organ, so next time he comes bearing a tune on his heart, his workspace is ready to go.

A Reader Response

In the news today, there's an article about government regulating Facebook and Social media for the upcoming election.

I don't necessarily despise the idea. However, while you are up there protecting your data and reputation, protect the rest of ours. Get rid of the trolls who make fake Facebook sites, to replicate legit identities. And get rid of the accesses which permit fake Facebook voices from stepping in on top of people's profiles, who chase the account to get the latest messages, and do financial abuses/privacy abuses/harassment on the social media sites.

If you are in there to protect your identity and reputation, protect ours too. How about that?

When writers from Canada write something, in other nations, and I will be kind and not name them, troll farms sit. They sit as paid employment, and they see what is written, and under their fake profile, they write.

I searched the Internet. I searched a term. Zip. It was nowhere.

I wrote an article, put in a brand new word that I made up in English. But we know I am multi-lingual, so it may have had flavors or nuances of being that way.

I launch the article.

6 minutes. It took 6 minutes for a troll to write a competing article.

Yup. And who cares? Oh, and they used my word.

Designated Purposes Pet Home

In a pet home, at night, a bed is for parent sleeping. And in the day, kittens stretch out across the bed, not all the time. But they like the cream sheets, so they stretch across where they find sheets. And made, for that is my preference for when we play, the bed is made. It gets made for play.

CatDad disappeared with the cat for a while. I did not know what was they were up to. However, I can tell you my kitten stopped being fussy. This morning, he was fussy. Today is the first day we have seen an abundance of birds in my tree for a few weeks. Because of the cold, or other troubleshooting we have done, my birds lifted and went away. And I had only 2 birds in my garden.

Let's finish 1 story. Well, in the room, Cat and CatDad played elastic. My hair elastics are all different resilience weights. Some have been used much. Some have been used less. So, when you send them off into the air, they go differed speeds and distances. And if the shot is good, the cat chases them, and catches them. That is what they were doing. They were playing. And CatDad came back happier and Lucius came back happier. Sometimes, we get dual cat mode, and both cats are chasing the elastics. And I only heard Lucius was playing.

Next story. The birds lifted and went away. CatDad/BirdDad brought in the bird feeder. In the birdseed, and my two sources are Canadian Tire or Costco.

The provider had branches in the birdseed. That blocked the ports. And the birds did not get their food. We have a couple. We swapped the feeders. And we have another getting treatment in the kitchen. Some of these can be put in the dishwasher. As to this error in process, this means we will have to watch for those signals that a port has stopped working. Little birds. My guests.

My cat was very excited to see birds this morning. To get the day started, so someone would let him out to go on the deck, and because he was hungry, he smashed a dish. It worked.

Someone came down. He needed food and play. He needed food and play to settle down.

Lucius. Little love.

I am happy the birds returned as well.

When we engage in play with our cat, we are happier. Hmm. He is happier. I am happier.

My one cat needs some exericise, like I do. I am thinking of training him on the treadmill. New adventure. I hope you hear about it, and he becomes good at that.

Side thought. I have 10 elastics in my hand. CatDad has an insignia of martial arts on his shirt.

I tried to aim at his heart. At the centre of the world, between the two men in combat, I aimed my elastic. And with my elastics, I could not hit the mark.

When we play, when the cat is not racing for the elastic, I start aiming to reach CatDad's heart. I got his chest, but I did not get his heart. As I become better, I may buy new uniform elastics, so I can attain his heart.

If a woman shoots her Valentine's arrow, it should attain the target she seeks.

Right? Readers, Happy Valentine's Day.

In the art you see, the tray is supposed to reduce how much Lulu breaks his dishes. In that tray, I now have an acrylic dish. And he accepted it. Usually, he does not.

However, he still managed to send a dish out of that tray. And thankfully, with tray edges in place, he played place the water as the sea. And he did. With his scooping, I had to get a towel and wipe up the room. With his kitten paw, he is capable of wetting the table, where the tray is, the floor, both couches, and as far as almost 2 meters. My kitten makes waves. If a person did not have an intelligent cat, would that be worse?

Yםו מקקג ש דקברקא צקדדשעקץ

Basque Language Detected.

When my husband endears himself to me, he speaks other languages. Can you say that? And if he spoke to you, would you or could you decode that?

CatDad Move

In the morning, CatDad moves closer to hug me. Lucius walked up our bodies, on top of the covers. And where CatDad's arm was blocking the way, which covered that space which ought be that of Lucius, between us, he put his claw paw upon CatDad's arm, and Lucius tried to move CatDad's arm.

CatDad recognized his kitten was trying, with his little cat muscle, trying to clear a space for himself, between him and CatMom. And so, CatDad's arm lifted, and Lucius got into his place between his parents.

And it's normal for CatDad's arm to go around Lucius and make him warm. Lucius gives off heat, but his CatDad is warm.

And life is as it ought be. Everyone gets that love they all need.

I love how Lucius's toes are like pussywillows. Have you seen them?

Cat Kibble Toy

I don't care for old cat kibble under the new. When I pour in the new cat kibble, I take out the old cat kibble, and put all new in the bowl. And for the few I have left, I play a game. I throw the cat kibble around the kitchen, in places where my cat can catch it, bat it, chase it, and finally, eat it.

Fitness is catching your prey.

My cat makes games out of chasing cat kibble. Remember my cat which loves to make things fall from the counter, like glasses and ornaments, etc.? Today, I set cat kibble along the edge of the counter, for him to bat down, and enjoy doing it. And the other cat chases the kibble, and eats it. For some reason, after he batted it down, he also wanted to eat it. He left the line of kibble on the counter, which was ready to go.

Cat kibble.

What do you do to energize your cat's day?

Cat kibble is dry cat food. And it is edible, and hopefully, by cat standards, delicious. You would hate to go to all that work, catching it and all, and have it not be delicious.

Update: That lasted for a while. The little gray marble panther returned. And he shot the vitamin containers on the floor. And he had the satisfaction of enzyme capsules scattering on the floor. For those who have an active kitten like Lucius, it's a good idea to make things set up along the edge of the counter for him to throw down, which you know will not break. And those bits of kibble along the edge of the counter, he ate. I will have to remember to put a few there for him. He can chuck them down, or he can eat them.

What will you do to make waves today?

Catcerto

🐱🎘🎹

I've linked my reader to a catcerto.

Last night, I played my organ. It growls. Yesterday, while I was singing to my growling organ, all of a sudden, like out of nowhere, it stopped. My organ does not growl. That means the oil worked its way through. Wow. I have an organ that does not growl. What next?

CatMom's Nail Spa

My nails are toxic. At my last visit to a salon, they ground my nails down to what I consider an over-trim, like clipping a cat's claw beyond the quick.

So, Lulu tended to my hands today, before I painted my nails. He took over, and chewed on all the ends of my fingers which needs complete cat cleaning. And after he was satisfied he was done, I thanked him, and I began to consider what is next.

Next was nail strengthener. Then, I did gold nail glitter nail polish. And right now, I am at the first top coat point. And I have a coat to go.

Lulu won't come too close now, because there's product on my hand.

The overtrim was managed in nature. It was a manager decision to make me dependent. I am not dependent. I don't get managed. I stop going. My nails naturally, like my hair, grow very long and thick. I went to the salon for the glitter. The Lord has led me to his managed decision, which is he helped me do my own.

I am sad. Before, I considered the salon trip somewhat therapeutic. Now, no more. I won't be going there much. Rather, I will do my own.

My nails are growing out. They are as thin as toilet paper. Now, I guess that may depend on how thin your toilet paper is, as to how you may assess that. They rip. They grow just a little bit. They rip. I figure I have 3-4 months of this. Then, life will get normal.

There is 1 spot on one thumb nail with a little bit of strength. I can try that spot for picking things up. Mostly, I get a tool. I get a tool, because the nails are not usable as any tool.

As I did my nails, I asked Holy Spirit to be present, and assist me. He did. My nails dried faster than what I expected. I can do that again. And I will ask again.

126 Books

There's a guy who has self-published 126 books on Indie Platforms.

I'd like to be reading him in the news.

Someone hire him.

I hope to seek that guy out, and read some of his things.

There should be a movement. Indie writers read Indie books. I bet that would make a few waves in the markets.

20% of the purchasing market would be having a little indigestion. Indie writers ought to be knowledgeable about what a non-legit purchase site looks like. Those indie writers should not participate in fraudulent sites. There's another wave in the market. Set a few waves into the market. If a site will fraudulently sell your book, or your friend's book, or your co-writer acquaintance book, you don't use them to buy any other books.

There's a few books I am interested in. And I am interested in how the seller is related to the person who wrote and produced the book. These days, I check that out, before I buy the book.

More Adoption Records

In this past week, I found more. I found more adoption records of my cats.

My heart feels very complete, having records restored to their place.

I am more precise in knowing my cats' ages.

And I found the first email, which I received, and I saved, to tell me to come adopt Thomas. It was an invitation.

Thomas's former CatMom was very firm about that fact she wanted devoted cat parents.

I have four of their records. That's not bad.

Ads for pets should not be ads. They should be invitations. Adoption should be an invitation.
