I sure hope they release the Kennedy assassination documents without any problems. Anybody who tries to stop or tamper with the release must surely be protecting the Mob.

Sunday
Sunday mornings I clean my parents' bedroom. Plus the other usual chores I do. Last night it rained, so I don't have to water half of the plants, which is a nice break. Because Sunday mornings are always busy. My Mom had me running around looking for breakfast, but everyone's closed this weekend. It's the weekend of Independence Day and the Eid. Only big business is open today, and they weren't open yet. Housecleaning took me a 2 or 3 hours, then I had to go to the grocery store to buy noodles and eggs for my lunch. I gave me Mom a back massage, not It's time for me to take a nap. And I need a nap if I am to function properly for voice training.
I sure hope they release the Kennedy assassination documents without any problems. Anybody who tries to stop or tamper with the release must surely be protecting the Mob.

Qur'an 20170903
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
34. Never did We send a Warner to a population but the wealthy ones among them said, "We believe not in that with which you have been sent."
35. They said,"We have more in wealth and in sons, and we cannot be punished."
36. Say, "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Provision to whom God pleases, but most men understand not."
37. It is not your wealth nor your sons that will bring you nearer to Us in degree, but only those who believe and work righteousness. These are the ones for whom there is a multiplied Reward for their deeds, while secure they are in dwellings on high.
38. Those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them, will be given over into Punishment.
39. Say, "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Sustenance to such of God's servants as God pleases, and nothing do you spend in the least but God replaces it, for God is the Best of those who grant Sustenance."
40. One Day God will gather them all together, and say to the angels, "Was it you that these men used to worship?"
Sheba 34:34-40

Busy?
So am I at the moment. After I write this letter, I will take a shower then head out to the mosque. They usually slaughter livestock on the day after the Eid to give to the people, I'm sure you remember my posting some photos of that. They had 4 steer last year which resulted in some waste, but this time I plan to stick around to the end and pick up some bones for stew or something, if any. Not that I'm hoping for anything at all, I don't like the waste. They only have 2 steer this year anyway. I helped them out last year but I was mostly in the way, and some guy almost cut my hand. I'm just leaving the zealous to do their thing while I watch today. I'm bringing my smartphone, maybe I'll take a nap while I wait.
Natty, that's an old photo. Yes you're very pretty, of course.
Pina, that's an old photo. My guess is that you took that photo in NYC, judging from the bags under your eyes and the low quality of your hair. Make sure you are treated right from now on. Tell them I insist.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
27. Say, "Show me those who you have joined with God as partners... by no means! No, God is Allah, the Exalted in Power, the Wise."
28. We have not sent you but as a messenger to men, giving them glad tidings, and warning them, but most men understand not.
29. They say,"When is this promise, if you are telling the truth?"
30. Say, "The appointment to you is for a Day, which you cannot put back for an hour, nor put forward."
31. The unbelievers say, "We shall neither believe in this scripture nor in that before it." Could you but see when the wrongdoers will be made to stand before their Lord, throwing back the word on one another! Those who had been despised will say to the arrogant ones, "Had it not been for you, we should certainly have been believers!"

Spoiled brat cat
Ah, I have to hurry! Busy day! Anyway, Floofy is turning into a real spoiled brat cat. She can't eat dry cat food anymore, so I make her own fish smoothies. AND she gets 3 meals a day, while the others get only 2. AND she aggressively attacks my food, even while I'm still trying to cook it. She has become quite stout, so she can easily beat up her daughters and poor Chee Cheah. So I have to lock her up in the kitty litter room while everyone else eats.
"Don't eat their food, Floofy. You have your own food. That cat food plugs you up and almost killed you the last time."
"Hiss!"
What am I going to do with her? I love her so much, I can't deny her anything! I hope you're not like that, Erin. Please don't eat their food. Please don't beat them up.
Wow, men's clothing Natty! There's no way you could look like a man. You're too dainty and pretty.
Hi Pina! Any more marriage proposals?

What's in a name?
Oh, you're so sweet and cheerful and optimistic. Yes I know you're moody too, but still you're so sweet and cheerful and optimistic. And you know what? I don't want anything bad to ever happen to you. I would give my life to shelter you, because I love you. But life is not set up that way. Life is supposed to be difficult. If one has an easy life, it means that one will have a difficult death. I will most likely to be the first one to go, so we must train the kids to look after their mother when she gets old. Please remember that and burn it into your heart. They will NOT do so automatically. They MUST be trained.
Today is Independence Day. No, I didn't go to see the parade. I haven't seen a parade in decades. I'm just not a parades kind of guy. Actually, I'm fasting today. Today is the 9th day of the month of Zulhijjah, which the 9th day of the hajj ritual, and the Prophet (peace be on him) said that anyone who fasts today will have their sins forgiven for the past year and the year to come. Great investment, I say. Tomorrow is the Eid. It's not made into a big hoopla like the Eid of Ramadan, but I don't really celebrate much on that day either. What did I do on that day? I think I cut the grass. I'm not much of a public holidays kind of guy. It's all the same old day to me.
I think I posted this video before, but I'm going to post it again today, so I hope you watch it because I think you will like it. I first got into Dr. Buscaglia back in college. Oh, back then I thought love could save the world! I was full of it. Definitely. Now decades later, I discovered that strength was the most useful asset towards happiness. Or better yet, the love of God (namely God's strength). Oh I still like Dr. Hug, even though I don't do much hugging nowadays. I feel what the love philosophy is all about, is about being NICE. And I will be nice. Selectively. 😁
Natty, you have such a nice name. It's so..... normal. It could also be a movie star name. And I hope your cold goes away quickly.
Pina, you have a nice name too. It makes me hungry.

Qur'an 20170831
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
22. Say, "Call upon others whom you fancy besides Allah. They have no power, not the weight of an atom, in the heavens or on earth. No share have they therein, nor is any of them a helper to Allah."
23. No intercession can avail in God's Presence, except for those whom God has granted permission. So far that, when terror is removed from their hearts will they say, "What is it that your Lord commanded?" They will say, "That which is true and just, and God is the Most High, Most Great."
24. Say, "Who gives you sustenance, from the heavens and on earth?" Say, "It is Allah, and certain it is that either we or you are on right guidance, or in manifest error!"
25. Say, "You shall not be questioned as to our sins, nor shall we be questioned as to what you do."
26. Say, "Our Lord will gather us together, and will in the end decide the matter between us in truth and justice, and God is the One to decide, the One Who Knows all."
