Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †









Many people, me included, say “one day I will write a book”
A friend of mine has actually been and gone and done it!!
After about six years it is finally published. A sort of Sci-fi black comedy

I have read it, and enjoyed it a lot.
I guess it had hints of Douglas Adams and “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy”…
MANY THANKS Sundance for permitting this blatant sales pitch
You might think I am making this up…. but honestly I am not.
The author of this book is as nutty about cats as I am… perhaps even worse. About a year ago, she hand reared a litter of 4 kittens, from very young, hand feeding them with an eye dropper. And has since reared other abandoned kittens. The proceeds from sales of this book were intended to go towards looking after more kittens
However, the proceeds for January are now committed to a breast cancer sufferer

Awwwwww…
Now that’s a real pretty cat
Correction: There were 5 kittens, not 4 as I stated.
KJ ended up keeping 2 of them along with 3 existing cats… and now yet another kitten added.
The kittens were referred to as “Birdies”, and the one pictured feeding is also called “Birdie”… He remains cute
Correction SHE remains cute!!!
Hello, Rumpole2! We seem to have a lot in common: we come here, I love Rumpole1, as I guess you do, and I love cats! We have a 16 year old, hand-me-down tabby, that looked just like Birdie when he was a kitten. He now looks like Mog in the English children’s book series. Even though, for the first time in his life, he’s not the “low cat on the totem pole”, he’s still a “scaredy cat”. But, in his own “cat that walked by himself” way, he spends more and more time near us. It’s a pleasure to see him so happy and so much more sure of himself!
I’ll check out your friend’s book.
Thanks.

She needs some sales… an ultimately kittens will benefit
And yes we have being cat nuts in common
If, by Rumpole1, you mean the TV and book character created by John Mortimer, then yes I am a fan of “Rumpole of The Bailey”. The “2″ is only because WordPress seems to have stuffed up my registration as “Rumpole” I have been Rumpole on line across several sites for 4 years.

Pretty tabby cat!
Don’t get me started…
Sometimes I think “owning” animals should be a right and not a privilege. There are so many that are on their own.
About three months ago I got a call about a kitten in a parking lot. Told the caller I could do nothing to help.** Later on that evening I trapped the kitten. As I was driving away with it I saw another. Thank goodness I had the means to trap it as well. Since then I’ve driven by that parking lot several times to see if there were others. There were not.
Both kittens needed medical attention. I’ve got over $3,000 into the second kitten. It was on death’s door. It is blind in one eye and seems to be a little *slow* but is doing well. Its brother is fine.
**I told the caller I could do nothing to help because once people know you’ve got a heart they will take advantage of it. That’s just a fact.
A sincere THANK YOU to all who help the innocent.
I have had two cat’s nick-named “The 6 million dollar cat”
(We can rebuild them)
Both victims of road accidents (we think), both with broken legs… and two options… spend a lot of money or let them die!!
Hazel is now dead, but as a young cat suffered a broken (shattered) back leg… which was pinned and pieces wired together… she went on to die of natural causes (aged 18) and on the way was a marvelous surrogate mother to two litters of 4 adopted kittens
At the moment we have 3 cats.. one is Ivor aka “peg leg”
A broken front leg when he was young… unable to be fixed.. choice was amputation or death. I agonised.. not wanting to inflict a miserable life on him… but he has thrived with 3 legs.. does everything a cat normally does.. even climbs trees (though I wish he wouldn’t he has a devil of a job getting down)
Also we were adopted by a very bedraggled stay that had ring worm, ear mites (which were spread to existing cat), decayed mouth ending in no teeth, one eye closed over requiring eye surgery (the eye was saved) and she was a little scraggly looking thing nick named “ratty”.
But….. a much loved cat that survived to die of old age.

Good article over at Stately McDaniel Manor . This is going to be an ongoing fight. To paraphrase Jefferson Constant vigilence is needed to protect Liberty. Fix bayonets!
As for the publishing of gun owners in those counties All it is going to do is make gun owners more intransigent That yellow rag think that’s going to get reader ship. Well to borrow a line from the Duke of Wellington: Publish and be damned!
And as for those lazy apathetic bastards in the House of Representatives And other assorted political types 2014 Is just around the corner.
This May, Nothing is written in stone Have to be fought at the individual state levels. Metaphorically speaking or otherwise we shall fight in the streets.
Somehow the dopey American voters have elected a bunch of neo-communist crooks. This is a disaster of untold proportions. I hope the Obamacare and Swinestien gun grabbing might wake up a few of the intellectual slugs.
Perhaps this will turn out to be one of those times when the left seriously overplays its hand due to arrogance about their position and ignorance about normal Americans.
It amuses me slightly to realize that the thugs who govern the inner cities (up to and including their elected thugs) must be having a bit of a wake-up here–and might be wondering where on earth all these gun-efficient, shooting-skilled, armament-familiar millions and millions of LEGAL shooters came from and WHY? I’m guessing they somehow assumed that the “gun lobby” and “gun owners” were just a bunch of shallow whiners like their own base.
Arm’s companies are in overdrive 24/7 and still can’t meet demand. The law of supply and demand is not debatable. I am starting to believe the people who said ammo (lead) will be more valuable than Gold. Makes me wonder what else they may be right about.

Please pray, y’all. My Berner is heading to the emergency vet…enlarged spleen and growths in her chest cavity.
Terrible news! I’ll be praying.
Oh, no, Tils…. of course…
Oh, phooey…I’m sorry, Tilda….hugz
With ya!!
You got it – lots of prayers. Keep us posted.
Positive thoughts and prayers for Berner, ’tilda.
Oh Tilda, imma praying, any news?
$&@% phone!!
Thanks so much to all of you…I really appreciate it.
The news is that she is very sick, lots of tumors and an enlarged spleen. They can’t operate, only option is chemo and even that would buy us maybe a month, but I don’t want to put her through that. They said in that case just bring her home and love her and when the time comes we’ll know what to do.
So…yea.
I’m very sorry about your Berner’s diagnosis Tilda. Here is a nice poem to share with your children when the time comes; it always gives me a smile when I think about the day I will be reunited with my 4 cats & 2 dogs.

ARLINGTON WEST
“The memorial in Santa Barbara, California, which was first put together on November 2, 2003 by local activist Stephen Sherrill, was soon adopted by the local chapter of Veterans for Peace. It is installed each Sunday by a team of volunteers on the beach immediately west of Stearns Wharf. Visitors walking to the tourist attractions on the wharf have a clear view, from the boardwalk, along the beach with the white crosses in the foreground. From the walkway, visitors can see a flag-draped coffin and more than 3,000 crosses, made of wood, which are intended to resemble and represent traditional military grave markers. In addition to the simulated graveyard, a placard listing all the fallen American military personnel since the U.S. invaded and occupied Iraq is prominently displayed; this list is updated weekly. Due to logistical constraints, the number of new crosses was halted at just over 3000 even though the latest death toll has exceeded 4400. Adjacent to the placards is a sign containing the message: “At 3000 crosses, the Arlington West Memorial is 141 feet wide and 310 feet long. A memorial for the Iraqi dead would be 141 feet wide and 12.8 miles long.”

Over 20 SEALs Who Killed Osama Bin Laden Now Dead
http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2012/12/over-20-seals-who-killed-osama-bin-laden-now-dead-2524334.html
It’s certainly becoming more and more obvious, isn’t it? I’d love to know exactly what the SEALs are thinking.
Rage…..that our SEALs are now an endangered species.
Or what they know, thanks Obama for outing them.
The Chapel (click on the photo in the right hand margin to go in) was set up at the time the Treehouse was built to provide a place for lengthy posts or discussions that are Scripture-centric, especially God-centric or anything theologically/Judeo/Christian/spiritual/faith-ly centric! IOW, a place where those who care to discuss or comment regarding events and concerns…where we can wax eloquent (or just at length, even if not particularly eloquent) about spiritual issues with a Scriptural approach.
I posted a comment there today and am putting this roadsign here, because I know the comments notification/rotation in the right margin moves quickly and some of our newer readers may not even be aware of the Chapel. It really isn’t just perennial church service in there–although it will always be tagged to Scripture and Judeo-Christian foundations.
There’s a bit there written at the time we set it up which gives a broader introduction.

Jan. 01, 2013 – Your payroll taxes are going BACK to 6.2% (from 4.2%). This tax decrease was the employee’s “contribution” to Social Security. When B Hussein O decreased this tax he was, in essense, defunding Social Security to an extent. I’m still not sure what they were up to with this move.
That is one tax increase (tax restoration, really) that makes sense.
