Qur'an 20221219

 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?"

How to use toilet paper

 

Hi Natty!  How are today, Honey?  Proud and distinguished to be you, I hope.  You are MY girl, and I love you with all of my heart.  I'm doing OK over here.  I had a choice between sardine rolls or pasta with steak for dinner, so I asked Adolf to make the choice for me.  He pointed his nose towards the can of sardines, of course.  But it's cold today, so I had to overrule him and cook spaghetti with steak in marinara sauce.  He didn't complain, though.  He loves pasta.

I've noticed that fungus has been stronger lately, and I advise the locals to start using toilet paper instead of washing with water.  No one's going to listen to me, of course.  Humans prefer medication over prevention.  Perhaps the Minister of Health can make it mandatory to use toilet paper, then have the cops make sure that everyone is wiping their butts, and set up roadblocks with barbed wire and such.  Let's face it, viruses have a more powerful media presence than fungus.  I'm being serious, folks.  Fungus is very scary!  But no one will take my advice on this, even if their pee pees fell off.

Qur'an 20221218

 Qur'an 20170902

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!"

Sheba 34:27-31

The white hot galangal substitute for peppers

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you are feeling fabulous my darling, and having tons of fun while keeping safe and healthy.  Wow, I sure slept a lot last night.  I must have been really tired.  8 hours!  Alhamdulillah.  I still felt drowsy in the afternoon, though.  Why is that?  I wish I could master that mental shortcoming, and transfer the drowsiness to midnight instead.

I'm pretty frustrated that I can't eat red hot chilli peppers anymore.  I can't eat the green ones, either.  My mouth craves the heat, but my stomach says no way.  Suddenly galangal came into my life.  It's as hot as a hot pepper, but it has flavor and the heat lingers too.  And it definitely agrees with my stomach.  I've been using it all the time recently in lieu of hot peppers.  I just had curry pups with galangal in them.  Hm, could have used more.  Another useful spice is coriander seeds.  It's a very effective anti-gas, but it has to be incorporated into the cooking otherwise you would have to remember to ingest some.  Yes, it does have a strong flavor of coriander.  By the way Honey, please remember to say "In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful" or "In the name of Allah" or at the very least "in the name of God" before you take the first bite/sip of any food or beverage.  You don't have to shout it out, just the slightest whisper will do.

Qur'an 20221217

 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."

Sheba  34:22-26

And reality is

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  I hope that everything is going well for you over there, and you are feeling great and keeping safe.  Oh, I'm so drowsy!  I've been sleepwalking all day.  I wish I could drowsy in the middle of the night as I do in the middle of the day.

People are spending more time than ever in front of a TV screen.  People will need to tell the difference between events in real life that confirms TV versus events in real life that is confirmed by TV, but few of them ever will.  Sure I have to spend a lot of time in front of a computer, but this computer gets powered off twice a day, and the other computer is isolated from the Internet.  I don't carry a cell phone with me wherever I go, and I don't even wear a watch.  This evening I had to catch up on burning trash around the yard.  I managed to build a pile of trash where the brush is thickest, but I didn't have time to keep the fire going.  The debris was still wet anyway, so I burned what I could.  Friday lunch is usually ramen, and today I had some beef ribs from the last Eid.  Beef ribs make awesome stock, I didn't need to add the flavor pack.  A nice, mild broth full of flavor.  I wish I had hot sauce, but my stomach is telling me to give up hot sauce.  **sob**  I love spicy food.

The Kitler Youth

 

Hi Natty!  Thank you for your support, Honey!  I love you with all of my heart!  I hope you're having tons of fun over there, and keeping safe and healthy.  I'm having dinner as I blog.  Curry pups!  They're so convenient, for eating and running!  They still need to be prepped and cooked though, that's time consuming.  At least I don't have to eat someone else's curry pups, I prefer my own cooking.  I had to throw away my hot chilli oil!  My stomach can't handle chillis anymore, even though my mouth loves them.

It figures that Adolf Kitler's children would all be white.  Not entirely white, though.  White with colored spots.  Only the females are black and white like their father.  The boys have some of their mother's markings on them.  The crib was smelling like infant cat pee, so I had to change the towel in there.  Too much infant cat pee for their mother to lick up, I guess.  The kittens were all hissing at me when I picked them up, as you can see from the snapshots below.  Except the one whose eyes are opening.  Fancy that!  Not even a week old yet!  I think Helmut is going to be big and strong like his father:

This one is Anna.  Anna Wintour?  Anna Schmidt!

This is Otto:

And this one is Gunhilde:

You know how cats have either stubby or long tails?  Their parents have long tails with stubby ends.  But all the kittens' tails are perfect.  Perfectly boned, right to the tip.  So does their older sister, Jane Rambo.  Very interesting.
