Not much going on

 Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope everything is going well for you, and you are feeling good.  There's not much going on here for me, just the usual.  I corrected that typo I made yesterday!  I can't believe I didn't see it.  Actually, I do believe I didn't see it.  I did more burning in the evening.  I almost have the entire crown of that dead tree removed!  Now I have room to maneuver the weed whacker in that area.  The trunk is going to have to stay there until I can buy a chainsaw.  Not much on the menu today.  Just rice for lunch, and steak and fries for dinner.  Mild stuff, my stomach will love me for it.  Anyway, that's all I have to report today.  I love you!

Congratulations

 Hi Natty!  Congratulations on your new enterprise!  I am sure that you are going to do absolutely fabulous inshaAllah!  I'm also sure that you know precisely what you are doing because you have a masters at it, so you're not going to hear anything out of me about how to run your business.  Is that a toothbrush?  Wow, I've only known plastic toothbrushes all my life.  I'm still using the same toothbrush for a year now, the second from a pack of 7 that I bought at the RM2 store a couple of years ago.  You mostly have detergents and toiletries... how do you feel about bleach?  I can't live without bleach.  I've got to have a general disinfectant so it's bleach, to get rid of sliminess and poopy scents.  Do you have an alternative?

How are you at money management?  I don't keep a ledger or anything like that, but something is better than nothing so I use my tax forms as my personal ledger.  June is taxes time for me, so I give a copy of the form to the taxman and I keep a copy for myself.  I'll admit that being alone and poor makes the task of accounting simple.  I have hope that Allah will grant me wealth soon, inshaAllah.  I can't get married if I continue to be kept poor as I am now.

A hot day

 

Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope you are doing well and enjoying yourself.  It's a hot day here today.  Hot weather puts me in a bad mood, plus I had to labor.  But I'm smiling!  I'm smiling!  Can't you see me smile?!  I've had some time to cool off and mellow out.  I made some steak and eggplant calzones for dinner.  I forgot to pull the dough out of the cooler to rise, but oh well.  Would you like one?  I think you would like them.  Anyway, I'm going to try and nap now.  I love you, Natty.

Qur'an 20210603

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

222.  They ask you concerning women's courses.  Say, "They are a hurt and a pollution," so keep away from women in their courses, and do not approach them until they are clean.  But when they have purified themselves, you may approach them in any manner, time or place ordained for you by Allah.  For Allah loves those who turn to God constantly, and God loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.

The Heifer 2:222

Hi Natty!  Oh, you look so beautiful!  You look just like a movie star.  That is definitely a movie star's nose.  It's like a Japanese anime nose.  That suit looks pretty sharp, too.  I guess we all know what the next outfit is going to be for Mary's avatar.  I'll pick out a nice suit for her later after this inshaAllah.  I'm doing OK over here.  It's a hot day, and I had some errands to run in the morning.  It was dry enough to do some burning in the evening, so I continued work on that fallen tree.  That's a lot of firewood, Natty.  I want to do controlled burning too, so I can kill off some unwanted plants.  I bought takeout rice for lunch.  For dinner, I made some beef and eggplant tacos using mini pita bread for the shells.  I need to figure out something to curl the shells so I can make hard shell tacos.  I heated up some of that roast beef I made the other day.  Yeah I know folks, the beef is going to get hard and dry when you drain off the drippings then freeze it.  Just rehydrate it after defrosting, by slowly boiling about a cup of meat in half a cup of water until the water almost evaporates.  You will find that it will get soft enough to cut with a spoon again.

Qur'an 20210602

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

219.  They ask you concerning booze and gambling.  Say, "In them is great sin, and some benefit, for mankind, but the sin is greater than the benefit."  They ask you how much they are to spend.  Say, "What is beyond your needs."  Thus does Allah make clear to you God's Signs, in order that you may consider.

220.  About this life and the Hereafter.  They ask you concerning orphans.  Say, "The best thing to do is what is for their good."  If you mix their affairs with yours, they are your brethren.  But Allah knows the man who means mischief from the man who means good.  And if Allah had willed, God could have put you into difficulties.  God is indeed Exalted in Power, Wise.

The Heifer 2:219-220

Plunder

 Hi Natty Honey.  How are you feeling today?  Ever since I found you, I always thought you had stars in your eyes.  That you wanted to be a star too but unlike your brother, because you are shy somewhat.  Are you still that shy?  Do you remember when I asked you to dress up to go to the movies and you did, but your buddies didn't dress up?  You looked so uncomfortable, and that made me feel bad.  I never asked you to do so again.  Do you still want to be a star?  Suddenly it's within your grasp, plus it's something for you to do while you wait for me.  At first I would rather you keep yourself in a nice cottage in the Vancouver highlands away from the spotlight, maybe teach some yoga or do some community work for the Canadian government, use that degree of yours.  Then after doing some studying, I started to think that it might be best for you to become a star.  Get it out of your system, and use your position to do good for others.  You must be comfortable with it though, so it's up to you.  Attitude is everything.

I got interested in this guy's video because he showcased the homeless, the failed retail, and the excessive construction in LA.  Take note of that, Natty: Los Angeles is not self-sustaining.  The money is coming somewhere from outside.  That means that a successful Hollywood show or star has to be international in nature.  You already have that inshaAllah.  You are MY girl.  Then after that, being a star in Hollywood means luxury and glitter in a city of homeless.  That is the star, shining bright amidst the devastation.  Prepare your heart, and be a good woman.  Then the guy started to talk about cryptocurrency, and wondered why people are eating it up.  Like yeah, man!  Duh!  It's basic greed.  It's called "plunder", and it's a proven way of conducting business.  If an animal were profitable, then you hunt it down until it becomes extinct.  If the environment could sustain more pollution, then you cram it with more and more garbage until it becomes unlivable.
