🐈THE MISSION OF A CAT 🐈

 

 Persephone - a lovely rescue cat that belongs to my daughter

Most people think that cats do nothing, are lazy and do nothing but eat and sleep...

It is not so! Do you know what a cat's mission is?

All cats have the power, every day, to remove the negative energy accumulated in our body... as soon as we fall asleep, they absorb that energy. If there is more than one person in the family, and only one cat, it can accumulate an excessive amount of negativity by absorbing energy from so many people...

When they sleep, the cat's body releases the negativity it takes away from us. If we are too stressed, they may not have enough time to release all that negative energy, and so, as a result, it accumulates as fat, until they can release it. So, they get fat and you think it was the food you were feeding them... or because they don't move enough... and the truth is, they don't. It is nice to have more than one cat in the house, so that the weight is divided between them.

They also protect us during the night, so that no unwanted spirits enter our house or our room while we sleep... That's why they like to sleep in our bed. And if they think we're fine, they won't sleep with us. If there was something strange around us, they jump into our bed and protect us... If a person comes to our house, and the cats feel that that person is there to harm us or that he is bad, the cats surround us to "protect" us...

If you don't have cats, and a stray cat comes into your house and adopts it as a home, it's because you need a cat at that particular time... So the stray cat volunteered to help you. Thank the cat for choosing your home for that job. If you have other cats and can't keep the stray cat, find a place for him. The cat came for a reason unknown to us on a physical level, and in dreams you can see the reason for the appearance of the cat at that moment. There may be a debt, some karma he has to pay... "So don't freak out or frighten the cat." Well, "he" will have to come back, one way or another, to fulfill this obligation...

Cats heal us. Cats are adorable creatures, and they love their owners above all else, but they have a different way of loving...

Their love is true, so don't doubt it. They are our great and true friends and above all good companions.

Gatwick Airport in London

 

It's been a few years since I've been to Gatwick.  It's reported, London Gatwick is the most stressful airport in the world!  It's the UK's second biggest airport.  Although the number of passengers that use Gatwick is below average compared to other airports, it has one of the highest passenger density scores!  It's percentage of annual delays is the second highest of the top ten.  

If anyone is going to the UK from Vancouver, British Airways has direct daily flights to both Gatwick and Heathrow this summer.  

Happy Thursday

Happy 80th birthday to my cousin Sharon!   I could never forget her birthday: 4/4/44!

My cell phone has been acting up for about a month.  I was missing text messages!  One from a neighbour that needed something and another invite to dinner!   I've apologized and couldn't understand why some messages just didn't come through.  I blamed Rogers but on Tuesday, my phone stopped!  

A friend who loves the latest and greatest in technology, got a new Samsung Fold 5, $2,559.00 at the Samsung store!  I asked if her old phone that was two years old was not working, and she said, "it's fine, I just wanted a new one"!  So, she gave me a Samsung Fold 3! It's the size of a small tablet and so easy to read.  I've had it for six months and loved it until Tuesday.  

I took my Fold 3 to the Samsung store in Metrotown and they told me it would be $660.00 plus taxes to repair!  I decided to buy a new Samsung A54 5G with taxes was $506.00.  I always check phone specifications on www.gsmarena.com and it has a 50 MP camera.  That's a great price for a decent phone with a good camera.

I will miss the large screen, but now I don't need to worry about missing messages.  If anyone sent me a message I did not respond to, it was my phone and I apologize!

The salesman at the Samsung store asked me why I didn't buy it from Rogers!  They don't offer the A54 but the Samsung Fold 5 is $50.00 a month for the phone and they put you on the expensive infinite phone plan to pay the difference.  When you figure it out, it's much more than buying unlocked and paying in full.

From the Rogers site:

$88.50/mo^±Monthly financing before credit$50.00/mo^±(After bill credit)on financing with Upfront Edge and a Rogers Infinite plan

$2964.00 plus taxes

Women

 

When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day.

An angel came by and asked, “Why spend so much time on her?"

The Lord answered, “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?

She must function in all kinds of situations.

She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time.

Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart.

She must do all this with only two hands.

She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day.”

The angel was impressed, "Just two hands...impossible!

And this is the standard model?"

The angel came closer and touched the woman.

“But you have made her so soft, Lord."

"She is soft", said the Lord,

"But I have made her strong. You can't imagine what she can endure and overcome."

"Can she think?" The angel asked.

The Lord answered, "Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate."

The angel touched her cheeks.

"Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her."

"She is not leaking...it is a tear" the Lord corrected the angel.

"What's it for?" Asked the angel.

The Lord said, “Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride."

This made a big impression on the angel,

"Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything. A woman is indeed marvellous!"

Lord said, “Indeed she is.

She has strength that amazes a man.

She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.

She holds happiness, love and opinions.

She smiles when she feels like screaming.

She sings when she feels like crying.

Cries when happy and laughs when afraid.

She fights for what she believes in.

Her love is unconditional.

Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life."

The angel asked: "So she is a perfect being?"

The Lord replied, "No. She has just one drawback...she often forgets what she is worth.”

Canadian Health Care

Everyone has a story about our failed health care system.  I have mine, but it's no failure. 

Ten days ago I went to the Dr. for a minor problem.  My doctor is on leave as he's getting a hip replacement.  I saw his substitute.  A very nice middle aged fellow.  I asked him before I left to look at a light red spot on my lower leg.  It's been there for years, but it's started to change.

He looked at it and said "this needs to be checked immediately!"  He turned to his computer and typed a lot.  When he was done he said "a specialist will call you".   A specialist did call and I had an appointment yesterday, yes on April Fools Day!

The specialist looked at it and said "it may be okay, but let's be sure, I'll do a biopsy".   He froze my leg, I waited 30 minutes and he did a biopsy!   He set up a telephone call in three weeks to get the results.  Even if it is cancer, it's not a serious type and I shouldn't worry.

My friend who was diagnosed with cancer said British Columbia has a policy all cancer is to been seen within 30 days.  

My husband had a biopsy and it was benign.  He was told he needed to have the benign growth removed.  When I told them of our upcoming cruise, they said "don't worry, cancer patients come first, it will be a while".  Who can argue with that?  He was operated on December 27th.

I took pictures of my spot so I knew how it changed.  Always ask a physician about any moles or spots.  I never thought anything about a light red spot in the middle of my leg until it started to change.  I'm glad it was seen so quickly and relieved even if it is cancer, its' not a serious cancer.

Lovely Easter Dinner

We had a wonderful family dinner at Cheryl's.  This year we had prime rib, Yorkshire pudding, mushrooms, potatoes romanoff, carrots, and broccoli with cheese sauce.  Ciara's 18th birthday is on Tuesday so our dessert was her birthday cake.  A fun crib game made the evening a lot of fun,
