What do the cards say?

Late evening purrs, my precious KitKats... it’s happened, the Kougar’s mind went blank about her bloggie... about what to meow. Not that there aren’t all sorts of roaring rants, given the state of our world. However, moi already accomplished one rant below... and, gee, what about a more upbeat topic?
So, what do her angelic cards say? NOTICE THE SIGNS ~ That was the card that the Kougaress drew. There are tons o’ signs on the world stage. There are signs everywhere. This is a golden period when the Good Forces are bathing us all in honeyed golden light... it’s a time and a sign to look for other ways to fund your dreams and it’s a time to create a new financial system that works at a local level, that meets the individual’s needs.
Given that the current financial way of doing things no longer works for most of us, why not look for and create what does work, what helps us all out? Obviously handing over what passes for money to all the BIG MONEY BOYS no longer serves most of us in our daily lives. So, what does? What will? How do we build prosperous communities?
The Kougar believes the Angels are giving us all signs, individual and community signs, about how to accomplish prosperity. And not just prosperity, but the type of abundant lifestyle which serves our needs and our souls.
Perhaps, that’s one of the keys. It’s time we created a community of souls, of prosperous souls. One of the happiest groups of folks this Big Cat girl has ever observed are those who participate in the Renaissance Festival... at least, back in the day when moi could go enjoy herself there... plus, she did work there one summer for the fun of it.
Consider it, though. So many of the folks were doing crafts they truly loved and enjoyed. They used skills, performance *dancing, singing, comedy, storytelling, music* and other skills, that was a natural expression of their souls, of who they were, of their joy or bliss.
Weaving cloth, boot making, knife making, hat making, cider making... cooking over an open pit. Handmade jewelry and clothing... the needed stuff of life all done by folks who generally felt the soul need to create in that way, to contribute in that way.
The Kougar is not advocating returning to that as a lifestyle as in eliminating technology, for example. Rather, as a model for community, a community of souls.
What do you think, Good Kittens?

Roaring rant ~ Jail time for this Big Cat girl? And humongous fines? Yep-meow, you betcha! Moi is not spending one disfigured penny on Health Insurance no matter what law is passed or who passes it. For several reasons.
One, since she is severely allergic to every prescription drug, why pay for being dead in a hospital or a clinic?
Two, health insurance companies kill people every single day by refusing to pay for the treatments they need, not ever paying, or not in any kind of timely manner. Folks have to fight them in court to get what they were supposed to get according to the policy. The strategy, keep stalling until the policy holder dies. Why would moi pay murderers to continue murdering? Gee-yowls, talk about serial killers.
Three, extortion is extortion no matter what fancified law title it’s given. This is merely Mafia Medical taking over more territory and demanding protection money.
Four, since people over sixty are now looked upon as expendable, as in it’s okay to ration their care, or outright put them to death by using review boards... so, since moi is headed toward that age group, why pay them to kill her, or anyone else? Yep and tail whipping, paying to have someone kill you seems contraindicated.
Five, the freedom to choose. What happened to the freedom to choose your own health care, the kind, when and how and the health care practitioner? What happened to personal responsibility, as in being informed and choosing your own health care? Instead of what Big Government says you’re allowed or not allowed to have. If this Big Cat had followed the typical advice given on health care, in this day and age, she’d be deader than a doornail.
Six, since when did our republic turn into a feeding trough for the *private* health insurance companies? Aren’t they supposed to live or die by the rules of free enterprise? By the services they provide? Besides, if there’s a problem, hey, just print up more of the paper that is being called money or dollars.

Yeah, that’s the ticket... money is being shoveled out the door as if it’s nothing more than dirt... shovel some toward the poor little failing health insurance companies...to all the hospitals.., to all the medical whatevers... oh, it’s so sad, they can’t make it on their own by actually healing enough folks.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 318 ~

Sylva basked in how her cowboy husband wrapped the comforter around them, then snuggled them lower on the bed. She rubbed her cheek against his incredible chest, so warm his heat radiated inside her. “I’d think I’d died and gone to heaven, if all this other dangerous stuff hadn’t happened.” His strong hands caressed over her back in comforting circles. “I am in heaven, my Sylva.” Feeling safe enough in his arms, she asked. “How do you know things will go that well between us? I mean... I know that sounds like a silly question... in a way... I know...”

Zeke told his hankerin’ body to stay lazy. “I know?” he asked at his woman’s hesitation. She sighed, a soft feminine sound. “I should have said compatibility. Our compatibility together.” He rumbled a chuckle. He couldn’t help it. “Sorry, darlin’,” he spoke to her scowl. “A man always makes himself compatible to his wife.” He swept his hands over her sweet back. “Doesn’t it work that way on your Earth?” Zeke had asked, already knowing the answer. He wanted her to talk about it. She gazed at him first, her expression bewildered. “No, no, it doesn’t work that way, usually.”
