To All Of the September Babies And Fellow September Half-Year Babies Like Reilly...

Happy Birthday And Beginning Of Autumn¹!

¡Feliz Cumpleaños y Principio de Otoño!

יום הולדת שמח וראשית הסתיו!

¹Including to whom "Momma" had sent the card earlier 🙂

With All Due Respect To Rabbis Hier and Cooper...

Do they not get that, for instance:

1. Nobody is making the comparison of Tr**p to ****** in any "casual" way?
2. Tr**p has gone out of his way to express disdain and contempt for those for whom the Nazis also expressed disdain and contempt—among whom are Jews (including myself and Rabbis Hier and Cooper), those (including myself) whom have disabilities (including pre-exisiting conditions), and LGBTQ people (despite that, e.g., one's military service has nothing to do with whether one thinks of and/or attempts to make himself or herself to be of the opposite gender?)?
3. Tr**p has garnered the support of those such as racist and xenophobic Joe Arpaio?
4. Holocaust survivors—including immediate/First-Generation Holocaust survivors such as Eva Schloss—have spoken out and continue to speak out against Tr**p?
5. Pogrom survivors—including Fourth-Generations one like myself—speak out against Tr**p? Even more so, a Second-Generation Pogrom Survivor whose been threatened by Tr**pites once tweeted the following:

My mother decided to leave Russia bc there were rumors of a pogrom. She's watching #Charlottesville in utter horror.

— Julia Ioffe (@juliaioffe) August 12, 2017

In conclusion, then, Rabbis Hier and Cooper need to understand that nothing "casual" or otherwise flippant or unfair exists in comparing Tr**p to ******.

As Others Have Pointed Out Re Tr**p and Hurricane Harvey...

The best way that Tr**p could help (or at least could've helped) Texans and other Hurricane Harvey-affected people is to stay (or at least have stayed) out of the way and let Texans and other Hurricane Harvey-affected people help each other and receive help from people whom don't want to use Hurricane Harvey as a way to get their jollies off of others. After all, neither Tr**p nor anyone else needs to add to anyone's pain—including the pain of the family of six of the eight known hurricane victims—and Tr**p has enough happening with the Russian scandal and the "Washington Post" confirming that (forgive the misogynistic language) Putin (so to speak) is Tr**p's bitch, and thus has already added more pain to Hurricane Harvey-affected areas or the rest of the United States.

Working On "Follow Me" With Reilly, And An Incidental Note

"Momma" is working on "Follow me" with Reilly, and Reilly had "Follow me" basically had it down when she and "Momma" worked on it before. Reilly seems to be doing well with "Follow me" after going "potty" and when going inside to get a treat (Stubborn Camille is another discussion: she refuses to even listen to "Auntie Nicole" when "Auntie Nicole" tells her "Follow me". Then again, Camille can be overall stubborn—as, for example, she was last night when "Mimi" thought that she had a piece of plastic in her mouth. She gave her a hard time about checking for any plastic, too!).

As for going upstairs and following "Momma" at night, Reilly is still working on that—although she's mostly listened to "Momma" and earned the treat that she gets each time that she follows "Momma". "Momma" has to sometimes pull Reilly back and remind her, "You don't lead me. I lead you." or "You follow me; I don't follow you."

Incidentally and meanwhile, "Momma" has had horrid mental-illness flareups again due to confusion re a certain subject—while she thinks that she knows what a certain person wants, he has to tell her eventually (or does she have to ask him? Either way, someone has to budge and tell. Besides, she—for instance—doesn't look forward to getting older—let alone old—alone or continuing to detrimentally affect Reilly.)

An Impromptu "Catch" Session With Camille And Reilly

Even though this is well over the ~24-hours-period that "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma", it demonstrates un otro día a la casa de Camila Dominica y Reily Rosalita. Besides, "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" was looking for writing fodder (since she knows that Camille and Reilly can provide writing fodder)—after all, for starters, she didn't want to keep resharing blog entries ad nauseum.

Of course, "Mimi"/"Auntie Michelle" insists that "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" was being mean when some treats fell under one of the chairs and the family room coffee table, and when Reilly had to do the "How long can you stand?" trick as one of her tricks (Excuse "Momma" for not wanting Reilly's back legs to atrophy or otherwise be unable to function in her senior years!).

When Camille had practiced "Catch" a few days ago, she actually caught the treat at one point. She also caught the treat at one point tonight, and "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" even had her watch Reilly a few times and tried to get Reilly to not steal Camille's treats (and as usual, some of the treats also fell under Reilly's stealth eye and quick treat-getting downswoop. "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" also compensated Camille for unreachable and stolen treats.).

La casa de Camila y Reily es sin duda su casa. ¡Hay no "Mi casa es su casa" con ellas a menos que alguien es firme con ellas—o al menos a menos que en el caso de Reily, si Dios quiere y algún día, "Máma" tiene alguien la ayudar con ella estando una "Máma" a Reily!

Just Some Highlights Of An ~24-Hours Period At Reilly's And Camille's House

1. Cam's barking caused "Auntie Nicole" to have a myoclonus flareup and spill some wine on herself and the tableplace in front of her. Guess who got blamed, by the way? 
2. "Mimi"/"Auntie Michelle" just took Camille and Reilly for a walk by herself, and they're hard enough for even one person without a physical disability to handle alone. As "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" suspected that "Mom-Mom" would be, "Mom-Mom" (who just came home from visiting some family members) is pissed (and "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" told "Mimi"/"Auntie Michelle", "Good luck!")!
3. In between the wine spill and "Mom-Mom"'s understandable reaction to "Mimi"/"Auntie Michelle"'s boneheaded idea: Camille and Reilly got to try some peas. Let's just say that each of them sitting and waiting for a peas, affecting a Google search, and getting half a peapod's worth of peas was enough to get especially Cam excited—she obviously ate too quickly and excitedly!

Just now: "Mimi"/"Auntie Michelle" just got back....as "Auntie Nicole"/"Momma" types....waiting....

"So, Mom took them from here. And guess who they saw?...They were practically perfect little angels for me, and they pretty well behaved when they saw Shelby!"

Never a dull moment!

"She was not too pleased that I'd taken them on a walk myself....she just seemed insistent that I not take them by myself again....[S]he was very matter of fact...."

That was not the reaction that "Mom-Mom" had when she came home!

By the way, "Momma" and Reilly are continuing to pray for everyone whom is affected by Hurricane Harvey. They also hope that a picture of Reilly and Camille from National Puppy Day will cheer everybody up as much as possible given the circumstances.

Happy National Puppy Day 2017!

Happy National Puppy ("Dog") Day!

Despite "Momma"'s/"Auntie Nicole"'s rough morning, "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" is kvelling since she just found out that today's National Puppy ("Dog") Day¹ in the United States! Meanwhile, look for a National Puppy Day card later, since "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" has to have Reilly and Camille get their picture taken for a National Puppy Day card!



¹Since puppies are always puppies, whether Pre-Adult, Adult, or Senior Puppies

Tossing & Turning, And a Playful Reilly

As "Momma" couldn't get back to sleep because she had a certain subject and other subjects on her mind, she woke up earlier than she could have woken up. Slightly before that, a playful Reilly came upstairs to get a post-walk nap and nonetheless had quite a bit of energy. So, Reilly got into one of her playful spurts and affected "Momma" to conclude that going down downstairs and beginning her day was best. 

A Few Highlights Of Reilly's And "Momma"'s Day, And A Quick Note

1. Reilly turned 3^5/12 Gregorian years today. She may have marked that month birthday by getting into the bathroom trash again, and she certainly got into the bathroom trash—at least she kept most of the trash inside of the bathroom, and "Auntie Michelle" was probably whom left the bathroom door open.
2. "Momma" finally got to get on a walk by herself on a weekday for once—of course, that's because "Auntie Michelle" was able to come home early 🙄.
3. Speaking of "Momma" and "Auntie Michelle", "Auntie Michelle" wasn't exactly commendatory of "Momma" when "Momma" had to try to get Reilly away from a plate that "Auntie Michelle" broke—surprisingly, "Mom-Mom" supported "Momma" on that one, and of course "Momma"'s going to worry when Reilly tries to get near ceramic pieces to eat them!

As for the quick note:

1. "Momma" and Reilly are praying for everyone whom will be affected by Hurricane Harvey. They also ask that those who stayed in the hurricane-affected areas look out for their loved ones and neighbors whom couldn't leave, get themselves, their loved ones and neighbors whom they can get to safety, and their pets to safety; and do whatever else they need to do be as little affected by Hurricane Harvey as possible.
2. "Momma" should add that there are circumstances which explain what she wrote recently, although she won't get into details about those circumstances¹.

¹ Incidentally—without going into details—"Momma" will say that, oh boy, did she get a verbally-violent reaction to what she wrote. She understands the sentiments behind the reaction. Sill...

Originally On LinkedIn: I Don't Understand Why Some Professing Christians Don't Understand That...

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals correctly ruled in "Kennedy v. Bremerton School District".

Firstly, now-Former Coach Joe Kennedy made his praying an issue when he allowed other students to pray with him and gave them the impression that the Bremerton School District condoned it. Secondly, Former Coach Kennedy was at a public school as opposed to a religiously-affiliated one. The First, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments don't allow the imposition or prohibition of any religion; and then-Coach Kennedy could've prayed privately with the students in his office. Thirdly, the United States is still relatively "a free country, [and] you can do whatever you want" within certain bounds.

Fourthly—and most importantly—professing Christians—nominal and actual Christians alike—should expect persecution in even apparently-free countries. If a professing Christian really does believe the New Testament—and as for me, I believe the New Testament and have to ask—didn't Jesus say, for example, "In this world, you will have many troubles; but take heart—I have overcome the world?" and "The Power that is within you is stronger than the power in this world"?

Besides—and I as a Jewish Christian have to say this—I would think that fellow Jewish Christians of mine and gentile Christians would understand that we'd definitely get kicked out of institutions such as public schools today since we got kicked out of batim knesset and the Temple back then.

In conclusion, then:

1. Professing Christians like Former Coach Joe Kennedy need to get used to the facts that the Constitution doesn't give professing Christians to cry foul especially when professing Christians are the ones whom are violating the Constitution,
2. The Bible says that Christians are to expect persecution, and that whining when we get kicked out of places for praying—especially when the people who run those places choose not to just say, "Don't do that again; and just pray privately next time."—does not help—in this case, Bremerton School District chose to not say, "Just pray privately next time—or at least don't give students the impression that we as a school district condone staff- and faculty-led prayer in a way that imposes religion on the students."
3. Since the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Former Coach Kennedy's violations of the Constitution, he ought to "[r]ender what is Caesar's unto Caesar, and render what is God's unto God."
4. In other words—and forgive my unprofessional language—buck up, grow up, put away the childishness of crying "Unfair!" when you get rightly punished, and quit being bushot l'otem mi lo Notzrim or shandas far di vas zenen nisht Kristn.

I made this using public-domain pictures and Powerpoint. My point: keep the imposition of religion out of public workplaces, especially if you're Christian and well know that you could get persecuted even for being Christian. 

Tr**p, Netanyahu, Modi, and Others...And Let's Just Focus On Tr**p & Netanyahu For Right Now

As for the case regarding Modi re Tr**p and Netanyahu, that'll come up another time—I haven't forgotten that Modi's a Hindi supremacist and Hindu extremist or that that's why Tr**p and Netanyahu. As for right now, I'm focusing on why the aspiring Neo ****** and Stalin that Tr**p is allies himself with Netanyahu.

As for Tr**p and Netanyahu:

1. Both have a clear and vested interest in destroying Israel—that is, both the Jewish people and the Jewish state—the United States' strongest ally. In hardly-disguised-as-chiloni Netanyahu, RINO and CINO Tr**p has found a kapo—and the for-all-intents-and-purposes strip search at the Kotel all the more proved that. After all, what's a better way to try to turn even some Zionists against the (nominally-)Zionist State than by sexually molesting women simply for being women, let alone praying at the Kotel?
2. Each wants to empower his respective group by demonizing whom he considers the undesirables, whom he would consider as the desirables were they not opposed to what he's doing, and what is known as diversity. 
3. Each, respectively, wants to derepublicanize and dedemocraticize his state (Remember that the U.S. is a federal republic in contrast to parliamentary-supposedly-democratic Israel.).
4. Both are racist, sexist, ableist, and Anti Semitic (with Netanyahu being a real self hater), and otherwise bigoted. By the way, a former rosh yeshiva has cited what Netanyahu is allowing Haredi men to do to deaf widows as one example of what's happening in Israel.
5. Both had supremacist fathers: Tr**p had Fred Tr**p, and Netanyahu had Ben-Zion Netanyahu.

I could list more commonalities between Tr**p and Netanyahu, though you get the point—although there is actually one more commonality that I want to list: that both are democrats in the purest sense of the word. For instance:

• Democracy was founded in Ancient Greece as a political system for free-born Athenian men. 
• In the same way that the Athenians counted only free-born Athenian men—and especially the rich ones, prominent ones, and sycophantic ones—as citizens, Tr**p and Netanyahu count only their respective groups as citizens.
• Women, slaves and former slaves, and slaves' and former slaves' descendants; and Non-Athenian men (free-born—including Spartan—men and their descendants, and slaves, former slaves, and slaves' and former slaves' descendants) did not count as citizens. In the same way, Tr**p counts only those whom fit his version of the Nazi ideals as citizens; and Netanyahu counts only those whom fit his and Agudat Yisra'el's ideals as citizens. 

1. For Tr**p, only "Aryan" men and boys whom are Tr**pites are citizens, and Non "Aryans" whom are willing to support Tr**pism are counted as barely-second-class citizens if even citizens of any kind. 
2. As for Netanyahu, only Haredi men and boys count as citizens, and Orthodox men and boys whom support the Netanyahu-Agudat Yisra'el chokehold on Israel may count as citizens or count at least as second-class citizens.

• Tr**p is a Far-Left Democrat in actuality, and he even supported Hillary Clinton for decades. Netanyahu is the Haredi theocratic equivalent of that.

In conclusion, then:

1.  Tr**p with his Neo ****** and Neo Stalin aspirations is a Netanyahu-supporting Tr**pite democrat, and 
2. Netanyahu as a hardly-disguised Harednik and Anti-Zionist democrat supports Tr**p.

Both had supremacist fathers: Tr**p had Fred Tr**p, and Netanyahu had Ben-Zion Netanyahu.

Somewhat Offbeat: Notice That "Momma" Said "God Willing", And...

"Momma" could be wrong. Nonetheless, as she stated, what she revealed her potential helpmate and Reilly's potential "Daddy" was going to need to come out. It was also going come out at some point.

Besides, she's maintained that she wants the best for herself partly so that she can be a good "Momma" to Reilly, and that she wants the best for Reilly.

As she's said and in any case, yehi ratzon Yehovah la'asot ratzono. 

Somewhat Offbeat: God Willing....

"Momma" may reveal who she thinks may eventually be her helpmate and Reilly's "Daddy" soon. She's given hints in the past¹ and already told Reilly multiple times. Besides—for example—after having to once again get Reilly's harness and leash on her to eventually get her muzzle on her, "Momma" knows that she needs to deal openly with the subject of many of her blog entries for over a year for her, Reilly's, and others'—including and especially "Momma"'s possible helpmate's and Reilly's possible "Daddy"'s—sakes.

Besides:

1. Reilly's going to have her 3.5-Gregorian-year birthday in a month and a day from now. As for her Hebrew half-year birthday, that's coming up on September 14th at sundown (Elul 23. She was born on 2 Adar 23 or 24, 5774).
2. "Momma" turned 27.5 Gregorian years old yesterday (August 23rd at sundown) and will be 27.5 Hebrew years old on September 16th at sundown (Elul 25th.  the Rabbinic Calendar gave her the best estimate for when Rosh HaShanah 5750 occurred, by the way).
3. In other words, time passes with both Reilly and "Momma" getting only older.

¹Another hint, by the way:  

בעיר באזור בעיר האהבת אחים,  לא בעמק ורד בארץ של מרים

Again, Charlie Hebdo?

At a point, the higher good of making sure that nobody else becomes a victim like especially Georges Wolinski did outweighs the freedom of speech. Did Georges Wolinski really survive the German part of Holocaust only to become a Holocaust victim 70 years later and get his grave spit on by "Charlie Hebdo"? Did Georges Wolinski become a martyr only for evildoers whom will use any excuse to use "Charlie Hebdo" as an excuse once again?

"The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is grievous madness. A fool also multiplieth words; yet man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?"

Even wise words can become foolish in the mouths of fools:

"A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may lay itself bare.....[and a] fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth....is his ruin, and his lips are the snare of his soul." 

Arguing with fools is foolish. Those who emulate Mohammed and follow Early Islam look for anything to do evil like Mohammed did:

"Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him."Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes."  

How else can I say that sometimes holding your tongue is better but that holding your tongue is sometimes appropriately answering a fool according to his folly?

Camille Is In Love With Her New Toy, Hedgehog

"Auntie Nicole" deliberately left the videos shaky to show the effects of her Cerebral Palsy, including her myoclonus flareups.

Cam unintentionally looks like a hedgehog in this creative-effects shot!

If The Rumors Re Tr**p's Upcoming Resignation Are True...

The sooner that Tr**p resigns—provided that Tr**p's cronies resign, too—the better off that America will be. For example:

1. People with disabilities will have an easier time in an ableist-enough-as-is society to which we didn't need Tr**p adding ableism. As for me, my own mental illnesses have flared up because of Tr**pism and its effects—for instance, my OCD/Anxiety flared up after the terrorist attack in Charlottesville and the attacks in Barcelona that were inspired by the terrorist in Charlottesville.
2. Jews like me, African Americans, and other Non Whites will have to deal with less bigotry—especially if Tr**pites are politically emasculated. Without Anti-Semitic and otherwise-racist Tr**p in the White House, groups such the Neo Nazis and the KKK will be de-emboldened and deflated.
3. Putin's puppetmaster and a aspiring Neo ****** will no longer be able to have a Molotov to try to throw under the bus if push would come to shove in his mind. Besides, Tr**p as an aspiring Neo ****** and a von Ribbentrop used Putin to get him into the White House.
4. The U.S. will end up having a legitimate POTUS if the U.S. doesn't go from bad with Tr**p to worse with someone else.

Reilly's Barking Only Causes "Momma"'s OCD/Anxiety To Flare Up

Part of the reason that "Momma"'s considering DBS Surgery is that Reilly's barking can flare up "Momma"'s OCD/Anxiety—and today is one of those horrid days on which Reilly's inappropriate barking is causing a flare up. "Momma" has a hard time sleeping at night, anyway, due to the OCD/Anxiety in part—and then the OCD/Anxiety in turn flares up due "Momma"'s tiredness. As a result, Reilly's inappropriate stresses her out more and effects the OCD/Anxiety to flare up—especially when she won't listen when she's told to stop barking.

It's a vicious cycle of OCD/Anxiety flareups, "Momma"'s lack of sleeping well, OCD/Anxiety flareups, and Reilly's inappropriate barking causing more stresses.

Somewhat Offbeat: Speaking Of Pet Owners With Disabilities...

"Momma" is really considering DBS Surgery. Of course, "Momma" also has to consider a few factors that she didn't have to consider during ITB Pump Surgery. For example:

1. Of course, how Reilly will be affected overall.
2. Having to have a shaved head, which might scare Reilly . Besides, one DBS patient, for example, has a supportive spouse and a head covering. "Momma", on the other hand, doesn't (at least yet) have her helpmate/Reilly's "Daddy" there in her life or their lives; and having a shaved head might alone further stigmatize her, even in the eyes of "Momma"'s possible helpmate/"Reilly"'s possible "Daddy"—any unattractiveness (as if "Momma" was ever really attractive, anyway) could have anyone revulse from her all the more; and that might affect Reilly and not even make the DBS Surgery worth it in the end.
3. The albe-remote-and-nonetheless-existent risk of a brainbleed—and "Momma" already had a Category-Three one at birth, thanks (Not being disrespectful to God; just saying.)
4. Will "Momma" be able to go home relatively right away or have to be in a rehabilitation-and-recovery center and not see Reilly for while? Will Reilly be able to be brought at least to the hospital to see "Momma" at all (as some puppies have been allowed to do for their owners?)

So Far, The "Gwirls" Are Doing Well With The Eclipse. As For "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole"....

She, if you will, cheated and watched the Solar Eclipse on a newscast livestream. Incidentally, meanwhile, she wishes that she had someone with whom the watch the Solar Eclipse in 2024—and in any case, meanwhile, Reilly is not watching it because "Momma" does not want Reilly to freak out or go blind. 

The Solar Eclipse Worries "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" For Reilly's & Camille's Sakes

For example:

1. Are the girls going to understand to any extent what's happening?
2. Could they, God forbid, get blinded by the strength of the sun's rays?
3. How will they react to the temperature drop? 

"Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" could not get back to sleep because she thought of how Reilly and Camille would react to the solar eclipse. 

Somewhat Offbeat: What Did "Auntie Michelle" Do?! And How Did "Momma" and Reilly Respond?

Firstly, in Spanish (Porque, ¿porqué no?):

1. La forma violenta en que "Tita Miguela" hiciera hablando—aunque comprensiblemente—de varios incidentes en el pasado a uno de sus amigos hace algunos momentos estuvo haciendo "Mama" tener miedo por su seguridad y la  seguridad de Reily. ¡"Tita Miguela" puede hablar violentemente de vez en cuando, y—incidentemente—"Mama" está segura que el "Papi" potencial de Reily no toleraría cuando su cuñada potencial hablaba en esa forma si él fuera presente!
2. Cuando "Tita Miguela" casi tuvo una disputación por predestinación con eso amigo, Reily quiso la confortar porque pensó que su amigo la hizo daño ella. Mientras tanto, ¨Mama¨ bromeó a "Tita Miguela", ¿¨Quién eres—Pedro Alfonsi?" "Tita Miguela" lo entendió el chiste

In English: (En inglés):

1. The violent way in which "Auntie Michelle" was speaking—albe understandably—of several incidents in the past to one of her friends a few moments ago was making "Momma" afraid for her safety and Reilly's safety. "Auntie Michelle" can speak violently from time to time, and—incidentally—"Mama" is sure that Reilly's potential "Daddy" would not tolerate when his potential sister-in-law was speaking that way if he were present!
2. When ""Auntie Michelle" almost had a disputation about with that friend, Reilly wanted to comfort her because she thought that her friend hurt her. Meanwhile, "Momma" joked to "Auntie Michelle" "Who are you—Petrus Alfonsi?" "Auntie Michelle" didn't get the joke.

Just When "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" Thinks That Reilly & Camille May Not Give Her Writing Fodder....

They do. For example:

1. Reilly demonstrated that treats are her price for a trick. With Reilly, Halloween would be "No trick if no treat." Not even a scritch or belly rub works at all (or at least usually).
2. Reilly and Camille gave, respectively, "Mom-Mom" and "Auntie Michelle"/"Mimi" quite the scratches today when a kid accidentally let go of his one-year-old Golden Retriever's leash and thus affected Reilly and Camille to freak out over a very-playful and much-bigger-than-them puppy. Understandably, the Golden Retriever freaked out in return and affected "Mom-Mom" and "Auntie Michelle"/"Mimi" to have to pick up Reilly and Camille quickly.
3. Reilly barked and set off "Momma"'s myoclonus again right before she and Camille went upstairs for their evening nap. Despite that "Auntie Michelle" doesn't like "Momma" saying so, Reilly is going to kill "Momma" someday unless "Momma" has someone to be a helpmate to her in general and to help her out with being a "Momma" to Reilly.
4. Camille just ran upstairs without "Mimi"'s and "Mom-Mom"'s permission a while agp because Camille really wanted to take her evening nap.

To All Of The August (And Other Months) Babies

Including to "Momma"'s/"Auntie Nicole"'s friend's Brat Terrier, Taquito 😉

PS Since Reilly's and Camille's half-year birthdays are in September, "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" might make a special birthday card then; and she might make birthday cards for all of the months thereafter—and bribe Reilly and Camille with dentasticks!

Why "Momma" & Reilly Didn't Say "Night Nights" On Livestream Last Night, And...

Once again, as has been pretty much the case all week, "Momma" has had trouble getting comfortable and falling asleep at night—part of that, of course, has to do with thinking about a certain subject. As for why "Momma" and Reilly didn't say "Night nights" last night on livestream, that has to do with that "Auntie Michelle" was so tired.

By the way, a couple of anecdotes (mostly from "Mom-Mom") regarding Reilly's and Camille's vet visit:

1. "Mom-Mom" shot down "Momma"'s/"Auntie Nicole"'s idea of taking Reilly and Camille to pick up "Auntie Michelle"/"Mimi" from after the vet visit—notwithstanding that "Momma"'/"Auntie Nicole"' wanted Reilly and especially Camille to have a good experience after visiting the vet and while being on a car ride.
2. The thunder and lighting exacerbated Camille's vet-visit anxiety.
3. Reilly actually jumped into the vet tech's arms when he told Reilly, "Come on, Ri. Let's get your weight." Meanwhile, Reilly is now slightly underweight (14.5 pounds) and was actually obese (18.2 pounds 👀) "about a year ago"—how much can change in a year!
4. Even though Reilly and Camille let their thunder-and-lighting-induced anxiety affect them to not behave as well at the beginning of their vet visit, both behaved for the vet techs and the vet overall. Camille also—from per "Mom-Mom" and "Mimi"—did not have an anxiety-induced "potty" accident like she's had in the past!

Hearing Reilly Drink Some Water This Morning

For Reilly to drink water is significant, given that Reilly doesn't drink as much water as she should (Maybe Reilly somehow picked up on "Momma"'s lack of drinking enough water—to be fair to herself, though, "Momma" should mention that she often avoids a lot of water to prevent IBS flareups.).

When "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" heard somebody drinking water, then, she turned around to see who was drinking around. She saw that Camille was (and still is) napping on the chair behind her (and Reilly is now napping on the couch in an adjacently-across-from-Camille position).

Meanwhile, "Momma" is preparing to have to take Reilly "peedy" soon (and may have to tell Reilly—as she sometimes has to tell her—to "hurry up and find a peedy spot [because she has] to go peedy") and drink (besides maybe a little bit of coffee) a little bit of water (and notwithstanding that many say that those like "Momma" give in to the counterproductive paradox of avoiding water while drinking caffeinated beverages, let her just say that caffeine helps keep her as homeostatic as she can be—besides, she had to literally have caffeine in her IV drip as she recovered from ITB Pump surgery, since she couldn't hold down even water for the first four days of recovery!).

By the way, Camille just moved from the chair to the couch, and she's napping to the left of Reilly and watching "Auntie Nicole" as "Auntie Nicole" finishes this blog entry. As for Reilly, she just rolled over onto her back and is anticipating a belly rub from "Momma".

Did Facebook Really Have To Wait Until The Murder Of Heather Heyer To Enforce Their Own TOS?

"Facebook does not allow hate speech or praise of terrorist acts or hate crimes, and we are actively removing any posts that glorify the horrendous act committed in Charlottesville."

Facebook surely has allowed other violations of their TOS for a long time, though:

"The company initially had allowed the page but decided as the event neared that it no longer met Facebook’s community standards because it was associated with “hate organizations.”

"The company said that it wants people to use Facebook to challenge ideas and organize peacefully, but draws the line when actions could put people in harm's way or involve hate groups."

How Facebook fails to enforce its own TOS and "draws the line when actions could put people in harm's way or involve hate groups" is beyond me. A mutual exclusivity exists between allowing "when actions could put people in harm's way or involve hate groups" and "draw[ing] the line when actions could put people in harm's way or involve hate groups.

Facebook has to either enforce its TOS to protect everybody against all hateful individuals and groups or not have a TOS at all. After all, Facebook shouldn't even have "allowed the page".

There Were Definitely Some Not-So-Fun Points in Reilly's & Camille's Day

For example:

1. "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" had to yell at Reilly and Camille, threaten to use the spray bottle, and then (after they were done barking inappropriately) explain to them why their inappropriate barking could cause her to fall someday. Camille learned her lesson more than Reilly learned her lesson, though both still barked inappropriately at points throughout the day.
2. "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" had to tell Reilly and Camille that the aide that comes over every day to help her get out won't be coming over anymore, about which they really sad (Meanwhile, why the aide isn't coming over involves a long story & gives more for a point that "Mom-Mom"'s insistence re an aide for "Momma/Auntie Nicole" just isn't going to work.).
3. Unlike Camille with the first around, Reilly didn't "find a peedy spot" the second time around or get any yogurt as a treat for finding "a peedy spot".

Reilly & Camille May Cause "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" To Break Her Head Someday!

This morning, Reilly and Camille set off "Momma"'s/"Auntie Nicole"'s myoclonus again (and even as "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" types, Reilly and Camille are setting off her myoclonus)! As a result and earlier in the day, "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" swore that Reilly and Camille are going to cause her to break her head someday. As for when they've barked in the past and set off her myoclonus, she has even asked them if they want to cause her to fall and die someday by barking like they bark.

Meanwhile, Reilly's inappropriate barking is part of why "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" changed her mind on writing about a certain subject—she needs someone whom can exert authority over Reilly than she can (She even just said right now, "Those two are gonna ****ing kill me" as Reilly and Camille bark and she can't exert authority over them)!

Ivana Trump is Patrilineally Jewish, Per Her Exclusively-Ashkenazi Jewish Surname, Per Ancestry.com

I wondered about this when I saw that she looks very much like at least one of my paternal relatives whom's fully Askenazi. When I checked what "Zelnick" means, meanwhile (since I wondered about this, too), I went, "I was right [about Ivana Trump]!" Per Ancestry, "Zelníčk" is Ashkenazi Jewish (Some say that her father's variant was "Zelníček", meanwhile.):

"Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic): occupational name from Yiddish tselnik ‘haberdashery’ or from Polish celnik ‘tax collector’. Americanized spelling of Slovenian Zelnik, a nickname or topographic name from zelje ‘cabbage’."

By the way, other European-language surnames that belong exclusively or almost exclusively to Jews. Such names are Munka (as in my own family, as it is exclusively Jewish in Eastern Europe) and Chesnick (a Croatian-English rendering of"Česnik" (e.g., Sister Cathy's father was a Slovenian-American Jew with Ashkenazi Jewish ties, as Southeastern European Jews are usually Sephardic.).


In Ivana Trump's case, then, she has the right to be considered a Patrilineal Czech Jew. In addition, this helps to shed light on Anti-Semitic Tr**p's brutal treatment against her—now wonder that Ivana disclosed that her husband is a Neo ******, since she as a Jew (if she ever suspected or knew that she is Jewish) to partly explain why she was afraid of her Neo-Nazi ex husband). This also helps explain that D****d Tr**p's children by Ivana Trump ought to be more ashamed of their Anti Semitism, as should be Jared Kushner.


As for Franc, incidentally (since her mother's maiden name was "Francová") :

"French: from a Germanic personal name derived from the ethnic name for a Frank. French: nickname or status name from franc ‘free’ (usually denoting a freed slave). Slovenian and Croatian (northwestern Croatia): from the personal name Franc, Slavic form of German Franz, all from Latin Franciscus (see Francis). Polish, Czech, and Slovak: from the German personal name Franz."

I Do Not Want To Read Or Hear "What The White Supremacists At Charlottesville Are Saying

To me, for news sources such as AOL News to publish articles such as "White supremacist seen in viral photo" is despicable. For people to also be circulating the photo is despicable—despite what he says, he wants to be seen and get publicity for being a racist.

Besides, as I've said, I hear enough White-Supremacist rhetoric from even some of my family members—and we're Anusim and B'nei Anusim! By the way, the cousin who I mentioned before once stated that she "figured that we had Jew blood" or something like that—and she definitely used the "Jew blood" phrasing, which is Anti-Semitic phrasing.

As for another family member, for instance, she blamed part of what happened at the rally for the counterprotestors going down there instead of just ignoring it—in contrast to, for example, her late grandfather (a proud Siedenburg-Mueller, whose ancestors were Lutheran Anusim, and a proud Lehr) whom chased her future mother with a belt when she joked to her brother, "You're just like ******"  (Incidentally, her mother may also have been Jewish, as—for instance—her paternal grandmother was a Peltz for no baptism record has ever been found for her, in contrast to the DeBoys for whom baptism records have been found.).

In conclusion, then, I don't want to give the White Supremacists a platform that many of my own family already seem to (in their cases, self hatingly) take—as I said, I hear enough White-Supremacist rhetoric from even some of my family members (By the way, most White-Supremacist rhetoric at least nowadays is more Anti Semitic—and more Anti-Semitism driven in the first place—than it is Afrophobic, Hispanophobic, Arabophobic, or otherwisely bigoted toward gentiles.).

Mostly Offbeat: "Momma"'s Change Of Mind On A Certain Subject For Her And Reilly's Sakes

After "Momma" just had a panic attack that included chest pain which felt like heart-attack chest pain, she changed her mind re a certain subject: she will continue to write about a helpmate for herself and a "Daddy" for Reilly when to do so is appropriate after all. Besides, e.g., trying to carry Reilly over to say "Hi" and "Night nights" was hard enough when she almost fell and even harder when "Auntie Michelle" accused her of "dramatization" when she panicked about almost falling.

Besides, as "Momma" has written, she thinks that her possible helpmate and Reilly's "Daddy" would be way more supportive of her than "Auntie Michelle" and "Mom-Mom" have been.
