 This is the way we should all be living!
 We have the technology, we have the schools to train
 new workers, we have the money that is going for more
 wars that could be creating these beautiful, healthy eco-
 villages.
 What are they waiting for?
 
 Maybe we ought to put women in charge of our new
 world.
 
 "Whatever women do they must do twice as well as
 the men to be thought half as good.
 Luckily, this is not difficult for women."

 Yippee! The sun is shining bright at last. I will chance
 going out this morning to do my shopping.
 
 Namaste,

 Since I'm not, I have to make the best of it. The sun is barely visible behind the cloud cover but there is hope that I will be able to go out this morning. I'd better go if my ex wants to pick me up to go shopping. It's a long way from Monday!
 
 From my email newsletters today; Spending $102 Billion a Year on 80 Worldwide Military Bases is Bankrupting the U.S.A. How would America like to have another country set up a Military Base on its soil???  lol
 
I don't think they would like it!  And here is an interesting article to read ~ Thanks To Our Fossil Fuel Addiction, We May Be Setting Ourselves Up For A Catastrophic Natural Event ~~~~~ The Release of a Toxic Dose of Hydrogen Sulfide ~ The Ultimate Executioner!  Read all about it at

 If I can't get my shopping done today I'll have to wait
 till Monday. What do I do?
 It's a bad day for shopping anyway.
 Just before the holiday, the stores will be crowded.
 I don't like crowds.
 If it rains my ex can't drive his car because his windshield
 wipers don't work.
 He went to the garage but as usual, they told him he
 would have to wait till they ordered the part they needed.
 If I tell him to come pick me up and it rains I'll be chewed
 out.
 I feel like cancelling the whole thing and wait till Monday.
 But then, nothing gets done.

 The weather forecast is unpredictable.
 It may rain or not this morning. It will rain later on in
 the afternoon but when?
 
 What do I decide to do?
 
 Another bad night. I woke up from a dream and I felt
 so stuffy. The air in the Lake House is not good.
 I put on the air-conditioning, called Tipsoo to come lie
 down next to me and took some Rescue Remedy.
 Good thing I slept till 5am.
 Out we went, all three of us.   lol
 Now Tipsoo and Cinette-Rose are sleeping again.
 
 By Monday, the windshield wipers should be fixed.
 But will it be too hot and humid to be in the car?
 Will something else break down?
 My dental appointment is on July 8.
 His car goes in for major repair on July 13.
 It may be in the garage for a week...
 
 I hope Art answers his phone when I call him this
 morning around 7 o'clock.
 
 I got one of those pamphlets the other day.
 It lists the dangers of propane gas.
 We have two propane gas tanks in the back of the
 Lake House.
 It's not cheap to fill them up when they're empty.
 
 I don't like using gas. In spite of having a stuffy nose
 most of the time, I have a keen sense of smell.
 I can smell odors before most other people can.
 
 If I smell gas my antenna's go up immediately.
 The problem is if you call the propane gas people to
 come check things out to make sure there's nothing
 wrong, they will charge you for it.
 I dont think that is fair.
 Whether they find something wrong or not, this should
 be a FREE SERVICE call.
 
 On one page of the pamphlet they have a small scratch
 pad. You scratch it and it smells just like gas.
 There is no mistaking the smell of gas.
 
 I've heard of lightning stricking an outdoor propane gas
 tank more than once and I hope it doesn't happen here.
 Not while I'm living here...
 
 When I light the cooking stove, I hold my breath and
 turn my head away. Inhaling that stuff is poison.
 
 It amazes me that humanity is still so primitive in so
 many ways.
 In my world, every building would be GREEN by now.
 Every vehicle on the road would be electric.
 Every war would be just a memory and every country
 would be free of weapons of mass destruction.
 Nuclear Power would be buried for good.
 
 In my world, we would be living in peace and people
 wouldn't be dying of degenerate diseases.
 Cancer would be a rarity and people would live with
 principles and they would be stewards of the Earth.
 
 What a nice place that would be!  My World!   :)  
 
 Namaste,

 Another break in the weather.
 I was ready to go shopping tomorrow but when I 
 called my ex, I found out his windshield wipers aren't
 working so he can't drive when it's raining.
 We are supposed to get a shower or two tomorrow.
 I'm hoping we can go out because this will make it
 hard to get my shopping done till after the holiday.
 
 Life is unpredictable. Remember that every day.
 lol

 ***** The U.S. Corporacracy is a monstrous devouring beast

 How to Deal With America's Empire of Bases
 
 
 $$$$102 Billion a year!
 The State Department will build a new embassy in Islamabad,
 Pakistan at the cost of $$$$736 Million!
 
 The U.S. is minding everybody else's business yet it can't control
 its own...
 
 That money could be spent for renewable energy, schools and
 teaching, health and prevention, educating Americans how to
 live in Peace with other nations.
 The U.S. has a big problem. It wants to be first, it wants to be
 the #1 nation.
 Just like white males who want to keep all the power...it's time
 to share the wealth, the power and not try to control everybody
 else.
 
 It's time for men to step down. It's time for women to take control
 and clean up the mess that men have created for a thousand years.
 
 It's time to use mediation and not violence.
 It's time to stop making wars.
 It's time to dismantle nuclear weapons and have a world free of
 nuclear power.
 It's time to stop polluting the Earth and every living species who
 share this planet with us.
 
 It's time grow up! It's time to think 'Cosmopolitan'.
 Cosmopolitan ~ A person who has knowledge of many
 countries and is free of national prejudice.
 
 The Earth is a small Spaceship and we'd better join up
 as one species not keep dividing and excluding others.
 
 We'd better put down the weapons of the Dark Ages;
 the weapons the cavemen used because they didn't
 know any better; the guns, the bombs, the weapons
 of mass destruction.
 Those are made for only one purpose ~ to kill.
 Why kill life!!!
 
 Life is precious and until everybody respects life and
 all living species, we will be acting like sub-humans.
 
 Namaste,
  I haven't seen much improvement during the
 years I've lived on this planet.
 I don't see humans evolving...just the opposite.
 Why don't they ever learn?
 That is the question...

 Had to interrupt the movie because of the storm.
 
 Revolutionary Road ~ I'll watch the rest of the movie
 after the storms pass by.
 
 Now I came by to see how Izzy is doing.
 
 Isabella is eating and eating. She's not ready to give
 birth yet.
 All we 'mare watchers' can do is keep lQQking in at her
 streaming cam and wait.
 Nature usually knows best!   :)
 When the time is right the baby will be born.
 
 I need to do the chores and wait for the next round
 of thunder showers...
 I've been knitting on the pearl heart dish cloth I'm
 making.
 I've got to do more knitting.
 Cinette-Rose slept and so did Tipsoo.   lol
 
 I'll have to sneak my fur girls out between the thunder.
 They aren't very fond of the sounds of thunder.
 Flooding in many areas after so much rain.
 Who will build us an ark?  lol
 A break in the rain now. Out we go!
 
 Another break in the pouring rain and another thunder
 storm!
 This will go on into the night and even tomorrow, we
 can expect another thunder shower.
 We don't need fireworks this year ~ Nature is taking
 care of that!
 Everytime the thunder roars, Tipsoo barks and Cinette-Rose gets excited.
 
 Did the dishes, everything but groom the fur girls and
 vacuum with the hand-held vacuum.
 The other vacuum cleaner doesn't pick up anything,
 just moves the fuss around.   :(
 That means in August, I need to go shopping for a
 new vacuum.
 I'd like to save money and find one that doesn't use
 bags.
 
 Namaste,
