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."
