BK - Thank you for the greetings in the notes and in FB!

It is wonderful to see the people in FB who know your work show such respect to you and support your work with in spirit and indiegogo. 

Some of the young folks just don't realize what you've contributed to the work they're enjoying.

Filling out the forms vibes for DR VIXMOM.

Is there perhaps a new market that your company doesn't now service, DR VIXMOM.

Maybe an internet search of similar companies would reveal a department you could make your own at The Brothers, Inc.  Maybe dealing with church properties......

To answer the questions from DR JEANNE & DR TCB.

1. They make themselves known by noises and moving small things around.  Pets usually notice them first.....in my brother's case, a small guitar case was broken and there were lights and reflections where there was no source for them.

2. They needed to be called.  Candles and offerings and then a statement of purpose and a calling of those specifically involved or present....

3. Usually I use a pendulum to begin with and YES and NO questions to establishment their identities.  You have to be stern and specific to get only those you are interested in talking to.

4. After contact is made and establishment - they do not use physical voices - I usually use automatic writing.  All present can ask questions, although not all are answered.

5. Doesn't happen in my family any more than anyone else's family - but usually folks just let it go.

Thanks for answering those questions, DR Jrand70. I was curious, as well.

I answer customer service calls all day long at work. And when our systems go down, which is a lot more frequently than one would like, we still have to take calls. There is nothing more unpleasant than having to tell someone that you cannot help them. Frustrating on both ends. And having to do it over and over.

Since I got the cats in 2017, I no longer hear noises in the apartment, like the lady speaking what I think is something mittel European or  the slamming closet door, but I occasionally see the cats watching or reacting to something, and occasionally after midnight I will see small floating ball of light.

Our cats have always slept with me, some more often than others, but I'm generally the cat whisperer in this jernt. Now it's just Mikey, and he's always been a snuggly lap cat, but now even more so since Poe has been gone. I can nearly always count on him being there when I'm ready to get into bed. And he's a solid sleeper. He wants to be on top of the covers, and nestles into my side, butt first. Once there, he's there all night, with hardly any moving around, and if he makes a trip to the food bowl or the litter box, he comes right back up and resumes his spot, quietly. He used to take a few nights off now and then to sleep somewhere else in the house, but lately it's been every night.

♥️♥️♥️

How old is Mikey?

Best estimate is between 12 and 13 years. We adopted him in March 2010 from a gal who worked at our vet. She had rescued him off the street in Hempstead LI, and the vet guesstimated he was a year or maybe a year and a half then.

I’m back from the flea market which was huge today, as was the attendance. Parking was insane, and people were clearly ready to be out doing things like this on a beautiful day. We walked the whole place, and not a single thing called to either one of us. Which is okay, at least we’re not buying stuff for the sake of bringing crap home.

It was great to be out, and I must say it was equally great that we still live in an area in which every one of the thousands of people there was wearing a mask, as required, without complaint. I think our outdoor mask wearing mandate goes away later in the month, so that will be interesting, but I’m just glad I live in this part of the country right about now.

We patronized one of the regular food vendors and had a “Long Dog”. I had chili and onions on mine, because the hot dog is a pleasant enough but cheap quality item, and I was more interested to taste whatever chili they used. It definitely wasn’t the Hormel I’m used to, and I certainly didn’t expect that. It was good, verging on a sweeter taste, but I enjoyed it with the onions and a tiny squirt of spicy brown mustard.

Sorry to have been away for a few days.  I had a big crafty project to complete for a luncheon tomorrow (finished last night!) and yesterday we had a small porch picnic to celebrate the 6th birthday of our great nephew J.  He came over with his Mom and Grandma and we ordered lunch from The Jug.  It was a beautiful day, so we we stayed outside even though all the adults have been vaccinated.

Today I must prepare for my Tuesday radiology appointment by filling out a shitload of forms before I can get back to Kern's Oh, Boy!

Do you have time sometime today for a phone call?

I have also spent quite bit of time lately in the "Way Back" machine, thinking about my high school drama teacher, because I learned Friday that he passed away in mid-April:

www.tributearchive.com/obituaries/20817790/Roger-Allen-Moldovan

He made me the actress DR Elmore met in 1974 and he made me the theatre-goer I hope to be again someday.

RIP, Mr. Moldovan  :'(

I honestly don't know yet because of all I need to accomplish today.  Joshie is coming over tomorrow morning, and hes got a bit of work for me and he's helping me with the Big Ladder and cat food. I have to organize all of tat this afternoon so it will turn into a lengthy process tomorrow.

I saw your Facebook post about him yesterday, but I couldn't post. I think all teachers should hope to be remembered so kindly.
