CAT WASHING 1. Thoroughly clean the toilet. 2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted.3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape). CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for any purchase they can find. 5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "powerwash and rinse" which I have found to be quite effective. 6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door. 7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids. 8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself. Sincerely, The DOG

Wiki: Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for American Left ideas involving identity politics and social justice... Webster: Woke: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice) Christian bigots have responded to Woke with lies and disinformation because they see the concept of Woke as accurately conveying their immorality. Extract from wingnut screed: The goal of these theorists is to completely dismantle a culture and reinvent it from the ground up. This radical philosophy crept into our academic institutions in the 1980s. https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/op-ed-the-critical-theory-of-racism-and-wokism/article_11271ebe-a42c-11eb-91a7-73990da1289e.html And an excerpt from a thoughtful analysis: " anti-woke discourse always emphasizes the ideological basis of the social justice movement without being vocal about anti-wokists’ own ideological standing,...." https://www.illiberalism.org/dual-attack-on-social-justice-the-delegitimization-of-woke-wokism/ I liked this: "“Abnormalization” and Delegitimization of Social Justice : ...government and ruling party are engaged in an ongoing smear campaign against human rights defenders, whom they frequently describe as “Soros agents” who undermine national security... Not only do they consign human rights defenders to the group of constructed enemies, but they also “abnormalize” and completely distort the moral valence of their work. "

Pentagon is struggling to explain more than 170 fresh UFO reports, new document reveals ...

racocn8 comments on Jan 18, 2023:

Pro and anti-disclosure factions within the military-industrial intelligence complex have begun competing to direct policy and the public conversation. While the latest report supports the anti-disclosure position, the report is hedged in that while many reports could be given explanations, the remainder could NOT be explained. The claim that foreign actors are using drones to collect military intelligence is just as unfounded as the claim that UFOs are alien. The objects sighted at sea and by pilots display flight characteristics far exceeding drones. Notably, these new reports are coming from service personnel, either on military bases, near ships or at military training ranges. The point being that intelligence relating to the military is being gathered, and the frequency of this activity has increased significantly. It is not at all clear why aliens would have an interest in the military other than to ensure the capacity to disable them. Also note that the Chinese have observed these same UAP and have their own programs to collect information. For the moment, the anti-disclosure faction seems to be in control, so the Pentagon has refused to release any more videos (and there are many) nor detailed photos. However, the publicity has motivated angels to fund scientific research using state-of-the-art sensors and instrumentation. This new research may finally provide the kind of documentation the military is so cowardly in withholding. Most critically, the Pentagon is brazenly LYING when they say they don't know what these are. They know damn well what they are. Their denials should be taken for what it is - - sedition against their own country for corruption's-sake. Gee, where have we run into that before? https://agnostic.com/group/LikelyUFOLore

Sadly, just as forgiving can be a challenge, forgetting often happens too quickly.

At another job, they had a different contest. This contest had everyone lined up and given balloons to blow up. Maybe not so easy in Los Angeles? With everybody on their marks and ready to go, the signal was given. I immediately filled a third of the balloon while others were struggling. After glancing at the competition, I quickly finished it off way ahead of the rest. I can only wonder that they thought I cheated. Well, sort of... Before starting, I had stretched the balloon making it much easier to inflate...

Alcohol addiction is common, so avenues will be (somewhat) defined by your insurance or financial capability. To the extent that one shows willingness to pursue therapy, that therapy can include referral to clinics and/or treatments. Spravato clinics (ketamine) have become more accepted. https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/26/health/ketamine-alcohol-use-study/index.html Psilocybin and other hallucinogens have shown efficacy in providing the rewiring needed to defeat addiction. Of course, use of hallucinogens can be hazardous, and decriminalization programs usually require an experienced guide. Many universities currently conduct research programs in this process, so research in your state may be available. It's likely that a number of start-up pharmaceutical companies are conducting research using their own novel, patentable hallucinogens (tryptamines). Some companies may be willing to ship microdose psilocybin to your location, however microdosing to alleviate alcoholism has little exploration. Or, travel to a therapy-friendly state. For certain, some people travel to visit Spravato clinics. https://i-d.vice.com/en/article/dypynv/microdosing-psilocybin-alcoholism CFI - Center for Inquiry used to have an associated agnostic support group for alcoholism. https://www.sossobriety.org/

The GQP in government are practicing slow-quitting if it involves suspects who share the GQP ideology. When they do get prosecuted, they get the lightest sentences possible. The left-wing pot is already simmering with outrage at this corruption. If the DOJ doesn't start to do it's job, some new kind of rebellion will develop. Or, possibly we'll see marches on Washington to demand the justice and competence that has been lacking. Or, the violence will be joined. Or both.

I've been troubled by finding out more than I want to know about various actors. Sorbo believes the Bible, which is total wackadoodle crap. And we've go Travolta and the other Scientologists. And Mel Gibson. So much stupidity and so much hate...

More Americans stay away from church as pandemic nears year three Many Americans already had ...

I'm sure that for many, they found the personal freedom an improvement over listening to BS coming from the pulpit. Covid gave them the excuse to find this out, and now they aren't going back. I did the same thing on my own when I was 11. No more Sunday School? GREAT!!!!

What are the GOP Speaker vote holdouts trying to achieve?

Putin has won. The U.S. is destroyed. Special thanks to the treasonous Evangelicals and the rest of the nutty GQP. Thanks to Christopher Wray and the traitors in the FBI, CIA, NSA, Pentagon and the rest. Special thanks to the DOJ for refusing to do anything to the coup plotters from Congress nor G.Thomas. Special thanks to the fake Americans that let Putin and Trump get away with it.

So Kevin McCarthy has already become a nine times loser, and he may soon become a 10 times loser.

We are the losers. We are a joke on the world stage. A sleazy stand-up comic with amnesia. Bad amnesia.

Psilocybin is only legal in Oregon within a clinical setting. They cannot be sold. Notes from: "Current Trends in Psychedelic Law and Regulation" Mason Marks, MD, JD,12/13/22. Federally HIPAA does not apply. Formulation of material is Not FDA approved. Rescheduling is being considered. Petition to reschedule, but no chance w/o lawsuit. More clinical trial data is available for psilocybin! (But no chance w/o FDA approval) Breakthrough Therapies Act by Cory Booker and Rand Paul being developed. Other How to control dosing? Potency testing? Whole mushrooms vs powdered. Concentration can vary a lot in mushroom grows. Intake forms? (Lithium use is contraindicated) Discussion of Oregon Psilocybin Law Modularized training of facilitator Licensing of trained facilitator. No tiered qualification of facilitators Measure 109 ‘forbids’ state from requiring a degree or diploma more HS! (M109) Facilitator is required to call police if a threat of danger is perceived (problematic?). Substitution of other substances? Documents: Facilitator Guidelines, Client Bill of Rights, Assessments Microdosing: Able to leave facility rather than staying for 6 hours Microdosing is not clearly defined Only actual mushrooms allowed; no synthetic psilocybin Psilocybin can only be purchased by client at clinic; not at dispensary & used on site. Washington copied Oregon’s law with improvements (also other states) Allow home use if no clinics nearby Colorado Several other hallucinogens ‘decriminalized’ to allow them to be substituted. Sharing of drugs in a religious ceremony context. Concern of where limits are may fall into the hands of law enforcement/justice system. Clinics referred to as “Healing Centers”. Umbrella term includes manufacturing/processing. Healing Centers associated with organization: Church Looser requirements for facilitators. Dispensary MAY be able to provide psilocybin. 2-year implementation period to see what does & doesn’t work. Groups have fought to be able to use psilocybin at home (clients with cluster headaches). “Cluster-busters” working to shape the rule. Prop 122 ? Personal use? Tiered facilitators qualification as opposed to Oregon framework. Colorado’s approach is viewed as being on a collision course with the FDA. New York The Facilitator must be a licensed healthcare provider. Connecticut Proposals seek to work with Federal law. (Clinical Research framework) Washington State FB5660? Task force work group to develop policy and revise existing state law.

An alternative to shrooms. Not right in the head. 😆
