Ti-mine saved during a crisis of my father-in-law

3/7/2025

Author : Nancy (Admin)

Ti-Mine was my husband's father's cat.

She came into our lives after my father-in-law had his first severe seizure related to frontotemporal dementia, of course at the time we didn't know what his diagnosis was.

My father-in-law is a violent man, with a military background, having been beaten by his father himself in the past, so when the disease started to hit, he lost all control of himself and Ti-Mine, our cat now, started to take a liking to him and one night he called us in the middle of the night to tell us that if we didn't come and get her he was going to kill her because she was sticking to him too much.

He was staying away from our house so we went down in the middle of the night to get her, my father-in-law had completely devastated the apartment, they had almost thrown everything in the trash and the cat was hidden, my husband had to take care of the cat and send his father to the hospital at that time, because our health care system is one of the worst in the world in terms of mental health and dementia care, he was released the next day with the promise of medication, you will understand that after that he got even worse, but that is another story.

Since then, between 2008 and 2009, we have had the good fortune and joy of living peacefully with this wonderful cat, Ti-Mines. She has now passed away at an advanced age, but she will always remain in our hearts, our sweet little Ti-Mine.

I took some time before updating this status to 2023 because it was painful to talk about.

Blokus: A Fast and Fun Strategy Game

3/4/2025

Author : Nancy (Admin)

Blokus is a delightful and fast-paced board game that I stumbled upon during the holidays, courtesy of my husband Shosin.

He first encountered it during a challenging phase in his life a few years ago, when he was surrounded by others facing similar disorders. They turned to Blokus as a means of diverting their minds from the difficulties they were experiencing.

The game itself is simple and accommodates 2 to 4 players. Its pieces resemble Tetris blocks.

For detailed rules, I recommend checking out the Wikipedia section on Blokus, but rest assured, they are straightforward. In my experience, a game typically lasts between 15 minutes to a maximum of 1 hour. The primary objective is to strategically place as many pieces as possible while thwarting your opponents from doing the same.

We purchased the game for $30 from a specialized store, and there are various versions available, including an advanced UNO-style variant that we haven't yet explored.

I highly recommend Blokus; it offers both entertainment and a welcomed escape during times like ours.

Nancy : What do you think of the current world and where do you think we are headed?

I have never been someone who believed in conspiracies. Slinging names and insults is not my style. The first time I heard something I considered lunacy I set out to prove them wrong. Facts speak louder than videos or blogs. The only way to know the truth is to research original sources. In order to know where we are headed we have to know our history. This journey would change my life and world view forever

The history of corruption goes back pretty far to the start of the progressive movement. I won't go into the extent of the past because this could take a book in itself. But I will hit the highlights. Socialism became a very popular idea at the turn of the century. In the 1920's the Council on Foreign Relations printed a pamphlet that was given to Congress showing how to turn America Socialist. They were pretty much laughed out of the hearing. No one in their right mind would want Socialism after the violence of the Russian Revolution. I managed to find a copy of this pamphlet in the old book stacks at the oldest library in Indianapolis.

The goal of the CFR was to infiltrate the government, an agency at a time, the most important being the State Dept. The other goals were to control the media. They need to gain control of the ownership and put their people in power to broadcast the disinformation. Check the list of CFR members and you will see nearly every publication, media network, and newscasters are all members of the CFR.

Fast forward to the 1930's. By this time the State Dept was becoming a problem with Socialists in high places. This was brought to the attention of some and later would lead to the McCarthy hearings. They succeeded in slandering McCarthy in a way that today even conservatives look down upon his findings. Even associating the Committees' harassment of Hollywood as McCarthy's doing, but he was not a Senator at that time. It worked, it made him look like a fool and took the eyes off the true issue, government infiltration by Socialists. When the Soviet Union fell they needed money and sold the CPUSA records to the US, which proved what McCarthy had said, they had their people in our government. Later the Venona tapes were released through the Freedom of Information Act. The Venona tapes proved there were Socialists in the State Dept.

It is not a matter of Republican or Democrat, they are in both parties. Newt Gingrich claimed to be a turn of the century progressive. Later You Tube removed that video as well as others that told the truth. Maurice Strong was in charge of Sustainable Living at the UN. He said in a video that the world population must be reduced by 75%. You Tube removed that video as well.

Jonathan May was the top financial advisor to the richest families of the world, the Shah of Iran, the Marcos family of the Philippines, to name a few. He was later hired by Connally, then governor of Texas, and the Hunt brothers, a rich oil family of Texas. They wanted him to help them establish a currency so Texas, a State by treaty, could secede from the Union. He was advising them on purchases of hard assets; oil, timber, coal, gold and silver. Later the Hunt brothers had people on the stock exchange floor buying and selling silver at the same time driving the prices very high. This was illegal and nothing that May told them to do. The US government arrested May and sent him to federal prison, even though he broke no laws. They bankrupted the Hunt brothers and Connally was shot, but lived.

May gave an interview from prison in 1989. I have heard this interview. He explained the money game these Elitists play with oil and the Middle East. He explained fractional banking where the banks loan out 20 times more than they bring in. He explained that they would collapse the banking industry then bail out all but the Lehman Brothers. That did happened years later in 2008. The Lehman Brothers were not bailed out like the rest of the banks.

The scariest part of the 1989 interview was when he explained their goal to take over the farms. And drive up oil prices, causing massive inflation of food prices. Since then the government has put small farms out of businesses and bought up the farmland. Bill Gates being one of the largest farmland owners in the Country now. Europe and Canada are declaring war on farmers in the name of the Green Movement. Grocery prices are skyrocketing because of oil prices and the collapse of the food chain brought on by the Covid lock downs.

May said the Elitists knew they could never take all of the guns away from Americans, there are far too many. Their plan was to starve Americans into giving up their guns. Because we will do anything to fed our families.

Now the big picture comes together. Biden stopped all oil production in the US the day he took office. The supply chain has been broken, by Covid lock downs. Inflation is at record highs from massive quantitative easing, the printing of money in the trillions. Inflation: too much money chasing too few goods.

As far as the world population that Maurich Strong of the UN said needed to be reduced by 75%, Bill Gates the biggest pushers of vaccines, later claimed the population could be reduced with vaccines by 10 - 15%. The mandatory Covid vaccinations are now starting to show their long term effects. Children are dying of heart attacks and strokes. Young adults are dying from unknown causes to the point they invented a term called Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.

Klaus Schwab has admitted the goal of the WEF is a world governance. He said he has people in top positions to make this happen, including he named Trudeau and Biden. You ask me where I see our future. I see it in the words and actions of the people who are arresting citizens for going to church, taking children away from parents because they don't want their children mutilated in sex reassignment surgeries, silencing free speech and the prices of oil and food that Jonathan May warned about are upon us now. World Fascism is here.

Choupette the guinea pig

We welcomed Choupette after a woman, at the end of her life, abandoned her because she was not allowed to take her along.

By the way, I'd like to digress for a moment. I find it unfair and heartbreaking to witness how many elderly individuals are forcibly separated from their pets due to circumstances, even though people like us would be willing to care for them wherever they go. Especially these small animals that don't take up much space. These individuals pay over $2,000 a month for subpar services and are isolated from everything they love. It's nothing short of elder abuse towards the end of their lives, even if they are not senile.

Now, let's get back to Choupette. It took me a while to write about her, the sadness of talking about her.

We lost her a few months ago; she was doing well just 10 minutes before, eating, playing with her friend Mini-Boulle, and 10 minutes later, she was on her back, likely experiencing a heart attack according to the vet.

She was quite old, I must say. She gave us a lot, taking care of many of our orphaned guinea pig pups that came to the shelter. She was a social guinea pig with the others as well as with us humans.

She provided us with wonderful moments in life, and I have no regrets about having her in our home.

Add shortening and cut in with pastry blender or 2 knives until crumbly.

In a small bowl, beat egg, water and vinegar together.
