Qur'an 20201220

 In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

23.  Say, "It is God Who has created you, and made for you the faculties of hearing, sight, feeling and understanding.  Little thanks it is you give."

24.  Say, "It is God Who has multiplied you through the earth, and to God shall you be gathered together."

25.  They ask, "When will this promise be, if you are telling the truth?"

26.  Say, "As to the knowledge of the time, it is with Allah alone.  I am only to warn plainly in public."

27.  At length when they see it close at hand. grieved will be the faces of the unbelievers, and it will be said, "This is what you were calling for!"

28.  Say, "Do you see?  If Allah were to destroy me and those with me, or if God bestows God's mercy on us, yet who can deliver the unbelievers from a grievous penalty?"

29.  Say, "God is the Most Gracious.  We have believed in God, and on God have we put our trust.  So, soon will you know who it is that is in manifest error."

30.  Say, "Do you see?  If your streams be some morning lost, who then can supply you with clear flowing water?"

The Dominion 67:23-29

Mary wants to join a band

 Hi Natty!  How are you today?  Are you comfy there in SoCal, or are you comfy there in Vancouver?  It is the holiday season, after all.  I hope your Christmas is fun and peaceful this year.  Please take care of your health, and try to maintain social distancing.

Mary wants to join a band.  I said, "Don't be ridiculous!  You don't need to join a band, in fact you don't need any band at all!  Besides, it's impossible for you to be in a band!"  Well, almost impossible I guess.  She said God told her to join a band.  She told me to do something about it.  Sigh.  How can these religious nuts even interact in a band?  But I did what I was told, because I too am a servant of Allah.

Wet

 Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I hope everything is going great for you, my love.  It's wet here today.  It didn't start off that way, when I looked up at the sky in the morning I thought it was going to be a sunny day.  But it's cold and wet.  I like cold weather, so this doesn't bother me.  Today is Friday, and I managed to get to and from the mosque without getting drenched.  Allah was being nice.  I had planned to do yard work in the evening, but instead I cooked my dinner.  Nothing special, just curry pups.  They're so convenient and yummy!  I usually plan them for days of yard work.  Anyway, I hope you are having a fabulous and relaxing time time being you.  I love you!

Here are some nice snapshots from the How does your avatar look today ? thread:

Mackerel

 Hi Natty!  How are you, my beautiful love?  I hope you are doing well.  I want you to know that I love you with all of my heart.  It's another average day here for me.  A bit on the busy side, I drove my mother around in the morning, but it calmed down in the evening.  I didn't do any yard work.  I didn't even have to cook my dinner, because my Mom gave me some stew.  I did have to prepare more cat food, because rice and fish has a 3 day window in the cooler tops.  A couple of days ago, I went downtown and got a good deal on mackerel.  I was surprised that there wasn't much information on mackerel on YouTube.  That was a few years ago, today there are a couple of videos about them.  It surprised me because mackerel is pretty much on everyone's menu.  The batch of mackerel before this one was a few days old, and only good for cats.  But this batch is fresh, so fresh that the cats didn't know I had fish with me when I entered the house.  That's how to tell fresh fish Natty, is has NO scent.  So when I make cat food, I stew the fish first and when the fish is done I pull it out and into the cooler, then steam the rice in the broth with NO SALT.  When I mix the fish in, I like to snack on the roe and livers.  It was heavenly today, the fish was so fresh when I bought it!  The roe melts into the stomach cavity and becomes creamy, and the I like to chow on the stomach lining too.  Not all of it should go to the cats!  This particular fish had large scales.  The cats don't care, though.

Cell phone

 Hi Natty!  How are you?  Are you keeping safe and healthy?  Please do.  I just gone done with the sunset prayer, after eating my dinner of curry pups, after cutting the grass, after not being able to cut the grass because of all the rain.  I'm looking forward to a nap after this blog, so I am able to work on the computer all the way until I go to bed.  Do you happen to own an IPhone?  I'll bet you do.  If so, then your laptop must be Apple as well.  I would love to have a nice new cell phone.  What I have is an old Lenovo from 2015, and the cheapest one at that.  It has Android, but Google news and Accuweather don't work anymore.  No more server!  I use the hardware version of Google Chrome to watch YouTube, usually when I'm lying in bed about to go to sleep.  Otherwise, everything I do is on my pc.  It suits me fine though, I don't feel the need to change my routine, only to strengthen it with a wife.

Adolf Kitler

 Hi Dreamer Girl!  How are you, Sweetheart?  Please make sure you take care of your health and safety, and get lots of sleep.  The dreams you get while you sleep are the most revealing and exciting, and so much fun to explore!  All dreams are good, there is no such thing as a nightmare.  Just realize that you have willpower and choice when you are in a dream.

Argh!  I forgot that Bro is a male cat, and male cats can't consume salt!  Kibble typically has a lot of salt in it, and is dangerous especially to male cats.  So I had to go downtown to find an affordable deal on fish.  Thus I did, right after the dawn prayer at 6:30 am, I went to the main market downtown to buy fish for Adolf Kitler.  He does look somewhat like Adolf, don't you agree?  But his moustache is lopsided.  There are other cats on the Internet that have more accurate markings.  Bro is an "almost".

But the green snake is a zoo specimen...

Hi Natty!  How are you?  How's business today?  Yeah it hasn't changed much throughout human history, people are more than willing to deceive in order to make an extra buck.  I hope you are keeping yourself safe and healthy.  Only yesterday I mentioned that my cats upgraded from chicken to rice and fish, yet today the price of fish shot up.  That's because everyone is selling the larger mackerel, and the small fish is nowhere to be seen.  But just because the small fish aren't for sale, doesn't mean the small fish isn't being caught.  No, they're just not selling it because the small fish is cheap.  Well, I didn't buy the more expensive fish.  My cats can handle cat food pellets.  Floofy was the one who couldn't handle kibble, but she passed away.  I try to be nice with the local economy, even though they have never really given a shit about my budget and needs.  At least I don't have to be Mary.  She has to behave like a lady 24/7, while others give themselves free hand to be complete jerks to her.
