Oh, weary mews, my New Year dancing and sensual prancing Felines... misty drizzle on the tame prairie, but milder temps... all ready to celebrate and bring in the New Year? A cozy evening at the home lair might be your best bet this year... raise a glass of cheer and snuggle... unless you have that extra fabulous party you just don’t want to miss. It was kissing beneath the mistletoe. Now, it’s kissing at midnight. Purrs, nothing like romance and passion. ~~~
Half Grown Longhorn Bulls Are Adorable~ [yes, those are white buffalo, not longhorns] oh, KitKats, after taking a Ball Pien hammer to her mailbox, moi got it somewhat usable, but not like new... on her way back, the neighbor’s half grown bulls were standing next to the fence. And, there he was, the Longhorn, with his longer spread of horns, and obviously larger than when this Big Cat saw him over a month ago. Well, he was just too adorable, so the Kougaress stopped, and got out of her transport. Talking to him and the other bulls, she approached. Well, longhorn guy, spooked, but only dashed about ten feet before he turned around, and watched moi’s continued approach. Then, he did what bulls do. He pawed the ground a couple of times. It was so cute, this Big Cat gushed over him. ~~~
The tail-switching New Year moment: the Bosnian Pyramid. Featured at COAST TO COAST AM ~ Date: 12-28-10Host: Rob SimoneGuests: David Wilcock, Semir OsmanagichGuest host Rob Simone welcomed David Wilcock for his analysis of the Bosnian Pyramid (video clips) and other ancient monuments, as well as his new physics theory of how they were built by "altering" matter. There is a prevalence of ancient structures around the world aligned on the same grid, he said, citing such examples as the 1,776 pyramids on the Philippines' Chocolate Hills, the earthen mounds built by the Mound Builders in the United States, and the lost pyramids of Italy. Pyramids have also been discovered in China, but the government there has been secretive about them, he added.There are anomalous and healthful benefits from pyramids, said Wilcock, noting they have been associated with reducing radioactivity, and in Russia, where a pyramid was built, the arid land around the structure became more verdant, including the growth of ferns that were thought to be extinct. Pyramids' effects are connected to gravity, which is pushing down from the sky, he explained. "Gravity is a river of energy flowing into the Earth...and that energy can then be harnessed by building a funnel-like shape," causing gravity's fluid energy to swirl and create a vortex current, he continued.As to the mystery of how some of the great pyramidal structures were built, Wilcock theorized that a frequency and vibration technology was used to alter the stone blocks' molecular structure, so they would become softer and lighter to move. He also addressed climate change happening in the solar system, on such planets as Saturn, Venus, and Mars, as well as how the Maya may have been tracking in their calendars, the times when astrophysical portals were opening.~~~First hour guest, Semir Osmanagich, Ph.D., the discoverer of the ancient pyramidal complex in Bosnia, discussed unique aspects to the structures. The Pyramid of the Sun, with outside walls made of concrete blocks, is the largest stone structure in a pyramidal shape on the planet-- some 700 ft. high, he noted. Ancient underground tunnels connect all the pyramids at the site, and blocks found there had carved Runic symbols. He also reported on experiments which showed that an ultrasound energy beam was associated with the pyramid. Website(s): semirosmanagic.com & divinecosmos.comBook(s): The World of the Maya ~~~~~~

Part 731 ~ Sylva added, “I thought Zeke meant it was known worldwide. About the silver.” Ginger settled beside her. “It is, dear. In a way. But, we all guard our own mines. There was times, long ago, when raiders roamed the underground tunnels, stealing whatever they could of the ore... selling information about a mine’s location and productivity.” Holding Grant’s hand, Marina sat in her chair. “It’s been a way of life since then, not to divulge anything about the operation.” Grant nodded solemnly. Sylvia studied their expressions. “I have so much to learn. I’ll just be a pest until I do.”Zeke lazily hitched his thumb on his gun belt. Wild as a stud to run after his mare, he waited instead. “Was wondering how deep you and Nevada got involved. Guess I got a good handle on it. Since,” Big Gun tossed a nod toward Wes and Wayne, “those two got star credentials out the butt.” Zeke took the plunge he didn’t want to take. “Feel like sharing ‘em with me?” Big Gun grinned that I-got-ya grin of his. “Swap ya. Your turn first.” Zeke arched his brow, thinking fast. “Give ya a detailed report on the robo-plane I shot down.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 730 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Early evening meows, my heart-beautiful and fierce-spirited KitKats... milder temps on the winter-sleeping tame prairie... however, earlier this afternoon the gorgeous sky was crisscrossed with aerial spraying, or what is commonly called chemtrails... X’s and parallel lines and huge white-trail arcs... this Big Cat so wishes she had a way to knock the planes out of the air, or vanish them permanently ~sad dispirited sighs~ not only that, some morons bashed moi’s mailbox so its bent out of shape and now unusable... most likely, they were trying to knock it off the post... however, this Big Cat had it wrapped with braided wire... so, the crapping idiots failed... and unfortunately, when moi used a hammer to reshape it, she was only partly successful... but, at least, it’s closed for now. ~another dispirited sigh~ oh, if only she’d been crouched and ready to spring, she would have clawed deep long gauges into their flesh, and bitten hunks out of their butts. Winter Blues and More Mews ~ Apologies, for the downer bloggie... but, oh, Kittens, the world gets sadder and sadder... not only for so many folks who are out of a job, out of a home, and worse [mostly through no fault of their own]... but, the BLM continues their wholesale capture and slaughter of wild horses that are healthy and who are being removed from land that is NOT endangered, and could support them. On top of that, the wild horse genetics are being slaughtered, as well, since their needs to be enough of a population to keep the genetics viable. However, it’s not only the wild horses who are being targeted for destruction by THOSE who are ruled by greed and stupidity, but other beautiful and incredible domestic breeds of animals... as well, these criminal psychopaths are decimating other wild animal populations...and, of course the plant kingdom is in danger, as well, especially crop plants since Monsanto wants world domination through their terminator seeds and GMO trash crops that have already ruined lives wholesale in India, and other third-world countries, and caused high levels of farmer suicide. Yes, this Big Cat has the winter blues. And the list of reasons why just gets longer and longer these days. ~does she ever wish she had super powers~ ~~~~~~

Authoress news and views ~ Featured at ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY ~ Tuesday, December 28, 2010Lower my inhibitions… by Taige Crenshaw "I love it when a plan comes together." As Col. John Hannibal Smith from the A-Team would say. {yeah this is an old fav TV show)I was thinking about the A-Team the other day. If you ever watched the show you know rarely did any of the schemes the team came up with worked out how they expected. Yet in the end they still succeeded in foiling the bad guy or alluding capture. ~~~
From Astrology.com ~As 2010 comes to an end, Mars and Saturn will meet up on Dec 29th to remind us that there are still a couple more lessons we need to learn before we can finally welcome the New Year.This past December has been a bit of a rollercoaster with some good times mixed with some challenges. That's to be expected of any month, but there's a good chance that these challenges seemed more, well, challenging this month than usual. As if afraid of feeling left out, Mars and Saturn have teamed up to add to that pile of December dilemmas. Tempting though it may be to allow these events to frustrate you, keep in mind that this is the Universe's version of tough love. Your ability to look these challenges in the face and take them on, one-by-one, doesn't just make it easier for you to deal with problems later; it also makes the good times that much better.Mars is the planet of war, and it wants to toughen you up, while sensible Saturn wants you to learn discipline. It might help to think of your approach to problems as a muscle in your body. The more time you spend stretching and training and building your muscle, the more useful and functional it will be. How you deal with problems requires the same sort of training. The more challenges you successfully tackle, the easier they become. This month has helped you develop an internal resilience, and the test that Mars and Saturn present you will help hammer home the life skills the Universe has planned for you right now.More specifically, you can expect delays, setbacks and possibly accidents. The accidents, if they happen, will result from frustrations that distract you, and this lack of focus could result in accidents. As with the earlier transits of the month, the best way to deal with these energies is to hone all of your attention - at least to the extent possible - on one particular project. Show discipline and initiative with respect to this project, and you'll increase your odds of skating through this planetary alignment with as few unwanted side effects as possible.On a more pleasant note, Mercury will go direct again on December 30th, which means all those communication, electronic and travel issues should ease off. Just in time for a pleasant and happy New Year! ~~~~~~

Part 730 ~Sylva tilted her head in question. “Yes, dear, we have one that links up with the Center.” Ginger smiled. Something clicked in Sylva’s memory as she returned Ginger’s smile. “Zeke mentioned an ancient tunnel system linking up to an underground railway. And discovered silver mines.” Marina faced her, her eyes crinkling at the corners with good-natured merriment. “Sure enough. But that’s supposed to be a secret among several of us area ranchers. Just goes to show what a man will divulge when under the influence of his new bride.” Sylva tucked her legs beneath her. “I sure won’t tell anyone.” Zeke put his thoughts in order. He wanted like all sweet hell to get the hell outta here, and back to his bride. Back to his family, and his beloved horses. “Yup, shoot it straight, Zeke.” Sheriff Big Gun focused his gaze, and Zeke knew his mind was on record. Hauling in a breath, Zeke shot it straight at the target with just a few minor details left out.” After a long moment of gazing into the far distance, Big Gun gave him a piercing look. “Heard you and your dad was at the Center recently.” Zeke nodded. “I was.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 729 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ Devon Earns His Stripesby Pat Cunningham(How was your holiday? We've got a major snowstorm moving up the coast, so I'm posting a day early just in case the library's closed tomorrow. Enjoy!)“Yeah, baby, yeah,” Devon Hancock rumbled as the woman’s claws scored his naked back. “That’s my little tabby cat. That’s the way I like it.”Rakshasi writhed against him in the way she also knew he liked. Sex with a wolf was not as she’d been led to believe. They made more noise, for one thing. And they were far more appreciative than a sullen tiger male. She and Devon had been appreciating each other for nearly three months now. ~~~

THE TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY... Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues... Part 728 ~Sylva tingled strongly, and in the next instant psi-knew Zeke was on his way back home. She celebrated inwardly, but didn’t voice her intuition. The feeling of jinxing it, if she did, seized her. Instead, she simply smiled, hoping. Even though, life on this Earth didn’t feel as tenuous, still, things could go wrong. Looking at her kindly, Nevada asked, “Is that all you sense for right now?” Sylva nodded. “For right now, I have a feeling, though, I’m tuned in.” After studying her for a moment, a grin creased his face. “Sure enough. Tell you what, I’ll contact the Center.” Zeke felt the impact of his own words. And dang well liked the sound of them. “Yep,” Wayne interrupted. “We’ll play ball with your Center.” Wes straight-eyed him. Zeke gave them each a hard stare with not one apology on his lips. Rising, he gave a short nod. “I’ll go make arrangements.” As he stepped outside, Zeke hailed Bucko, then moved to meet him. “Can you get the Sheriff on the horn? Looks like this a larger matter than just our county.” Bucko grinned. “Got you covered, buddy. Sheriff is just landin’. Seems like these two got some big connections.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 727 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Arriving from Christa Paige's blog? Good! Remember to leave a comment to win. For your viewing pleasure, and the pleasures of viewing 'men in kilts'.
This is one of the Kougar’s favorite ‘Men in Kilt’ pictures... nothing like a pair of sexy, 'the male in action' legs to turn this Big Cat woman all juicy-hot... oh, lordy yes... if only he would come to life. He will in a future story. 
These next two pics are for those of you who don't find 'men in kilts' sexy, or could care less... though, when Mr. Passionate Eyes emerges from the shower on his way to provide you with every carnal pleasure, he may very well strip off the towel he has slung around his hips... like a kilt. 
AND! when the snow is a foot deep, and the bitter cold winds are blowing, how about daydreaming of springtime... you're walking in the green, green meadow... and there HE IS.
Just in case weren't aware of it, there's quite a movement on against what is called 'trouser tyranny'... no, these kilt-loving gentlemen don't want to do away with pants, they just want the freedom to wear garments with no inseams... yeah, it's actually much healthier for the male package. ~ kiltmen.com ~
Here's a modern handsome! man wearing a kilt. Why not? Yes, the Kougar believes in fashion freedom for *everyone*.So, what is your pleasure? Ever wish one of the Highlander Romance Heroes would come to life? 
Picture it. You’re holed up during a nasty winter storm. But, you have the latest Highlander romance novel... maybe, a good ole paperback, a trade book, or maybe you’re into ebook readers like the Kindle and Nook, etc.
Anticipation shivers through you... with hot chocolate nearby... maybe, a hot toddy, or a cup of hot joe... you curl up and begin reading... suddenly! Wham. Bam. A great flash o’light. And there he is... kilt and all.
Even though, this is a current-day photo, this gorgeous, to-swoon-over 'man in akilt' is definitely a perfect Highland specimen, and is welcome to flash on by, and stay for a long, long while.
~like over winter. And beyond!~
Since the Kougar is a freedom-lover... hey, why not let those precious family jewels experience a whole lot of freedom? Not to mention it’s time to free a few butt cheeks.... let them feel the cooling air... let them enjoy the caress of the winds.
Here's an exceptional view of a freed and exceptionally handsome posterior.
The Kougar just appreciates this kilt man's I'm-a-guy moxy, and his bagpipes.
Talk about out-there, hunk-assitude... yeah, baby, give this Big Cat woman more!
No! the Kougar could never leave Adrian Paul out as her preferred 'kilt man'.
Wow, if a warrior was going to travel through time and breach your feminine defenses...

Late evening mews, my holiday-gallivanting and gamboling Felines... oh, the sunset on the tame prairie... oh, purrs, was the sun ever neon-brilliant and beautiful in color... and the afternoon sky with streaming clouds, oh so good for the soul. The Kougaress doesn’t know about you, darling Kittens, but is she ever glad her TV has gone the way of the dinosaur *for now*... all the current ‘bread and circus’ distractions, and the endless political soap opera, disguised as news, drives her nutso as it is... and the speaking voices these days... chalk squeaking on a chalkboard is better!!! and this Big Cat can’t stand that, either. ~yowls-arrrgghhh~ Look out, my lovelies... there could be another major ‘very nasty’ event on the near horizon... terrible to think about during the holidays... however, intuition is what it is... so, take care, because this Big Cat loves ya! If you’re facing an obstacle course of necessary stuff to get done like moi is...well, may we all be safe and may we all git ‘er done. ~~~~~~

Authoress news and mews ~ The Kougar has gotten more good penning done on her WIP ~ Kandy Apple and Her Hellhounds... per usual, the story is more complex and longer than she originally intended... and she’s hoping Cary Grant-sophisticated hellhound heroes will appeal to some readers.

If they could be called just adventures. “Is the posses there?” she asked. “They are dear,” Ginger answered. “Looks like the two men are peacefully surrendering.” Ginger offered the plate to Sylva. “Try one. See if it’s to your taste.” Even though her stomach wasn’t in an eating mood, Sylva plucked one up, and dropped the bite-sized biscuit into her mouth. Only it tasted more like shortbread. “Yum. That is good.” Marina selected one, practically tossing it into her mouth. Zeke watched the scan on screen as Thaddeus, Tex’s oldest son gathered all the info he could on the mostly buried missile. “It’s got a new alloy coating, an aluminum-titanium blend. Looks like the electron spin is what makes it unique.” Thaddeus began an in-depth scan on the interior. Zeke memorized what he saw in case Tex didn’t want to share. “Wanna tell me why you were chasin’ that robo-plane?” Tex asked, eyeing the approach of two deputies. “Another robo-plane, now in pieces on my land, used one of them newfangled darts to blow a hole in my barn roof.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 715 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

After all, it’s character that counts. The royals in moi’s book may have their bad guys and their squabbles and vicious intrigues. However, they would NEVER NEVER kill off their planet-world... and, they have created a world where the blue bloods champion everyone, regardless of status. AND!

You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ...... isn't it?!I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office andone to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.). In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day! Thoughtfully yours,AlexI probably don't have to ask you to forward this one. ~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues... Part 712 ~Sylva knew she gave a nod, but barely. With Ginger’s wise words, she willed herself to lift the mug and inhale. Steamy comfort filled her nostrils. Sylva took a sip all too aware Ginger watched her carefully. “Mmmm... good. Like I’ve said to Zeke, you all have the best food here.” Sylva took a longer sip, and let the warmth fill her. “Zeke?” she asked. “Big brother is just fine,” Marina answered. Glancing over her shoulder, Sylva watched Zeke’s sister enter the kitchen. “He shot that robo-plane out of the sky. Grant is with the crew goin’ to retrieve it.” Zeke kept hold of the joystick and maintained his watch. “Yep, Van, you talk to ‘em. I’ll keep everything eyeballed.” After changing their course so they wouldn’t interfere with the posse, Van answered the hail. Zeke listened to the back and forth while he scrutinized the two men. Obviously in superb condition, and likely trained agents of some kind, they raced for an isolated stack of large rocks. Though, with the damage done to the barn’s super-strong roof, Zeke had to wonder how protected they were from the dart-like missiles. Still, they dived between the giant slabs. “Hell.” Zeke fired. ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 711 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Very late night meows, my holiday-ethereal and elusive Big Cats... there’s one of us running wild in Wales these days... a black panther type, so they say... or maybe one of the legendary cat shifters known to be in Wales has decided to play games with the locals... hmmmm... oh, wait, a little mental contact going on... Mr. and Ms. Black Cat say they're visiting from another planetary world, and are gathering intel... easier to do in their shifted form than as two-legged beings... well now, the Kougaress wasn’t expecting that... however, she does possess a very vivid imagination... oh, hold on, the Big Black Cat couple says they’ll stay in telepathic contact... yowls, that should be entertaining... ~smiles~~~~

AUTHORS/ASPIRING AUTHORS ~ Do you have a bit of writerly ANARCHIST lurking inside you like the Kougar does? Give Julia’s blog a glimpse. Featured at Fantasy, Futuristic & Paranormal blog ~ ffnp.blogspot.com/2010/12/bones.html ~ Thursday, December 9, 2010The Bones Please welcome guest blogger Julia BarrettBack in 1986, a book was released by Shambhala Press - Writing Down the Bones, by Natalie Goldberg. My sister urged me to read the book. She thought it would help me jumpstart my writing career. I never did read the book, but I love the title. The visual is great - writing down the bones. When I create a work of science fiction, I view my story as a human body and I begin with the bones, the skeleton, so to speak. Once the structure is in place, I begin to fill in - flesh out the story, or body of the work, and imbue my characters with heart and soul. ~~~
AUTHORS/ASPIRING AUTHORS need a new crime plot device? From the LA TIMES ~ latimes.com ~ Masks so realistic they're arresting the wrong guyIn one New York case last year, thieves stole a car with a GPS device and used the navigation system to find the victim's home, where they stole a second car. ~~~
Slusser opened SPFXMasks in 2003. His six-person crew uses silicone that looks and feels like flesh, down to the pores. Each strand of hair — and it's human hair — is sewn on individually. Artists methodically paint the masks to create realistic skin tones."I wanted to make something that looks so real that when you go out for Halloween no one can tell," Slusser said. "It's like 'Mission: Impossible' — you pull it over your head one time and that's it. It's like a 10-hour makeup job in 10 seconds."He experimented until he found the right recipe for silicone that would seem like skin. A key discovery was that if the inside of the mask is smooth — even if the outside is bumpy with pores, a nose and other features — it will stretch over most faces and move with facial muscles. Customers include Halloween revelers, theme parks and a few TV shows and horror movies, Slusser said. The main character in the film "Hallows Point" wore an SPFX mask, he said, as do the dancing old man characters who perform at Six Flags amusement parks.Slusser's customers also include a few Hollywood celebrities who use the masks to fool paparazzi, but he declined to reveal their names.The masks are time-consuming to make, and they're not cheap. Slusser's first effort to sell them through a Manhattan Halloween shop was a flop, simply because customers weren't expecting to spend hundreds of dollars for a mask.Slusser moved his sales operation online. The company projects $500,000 in sales this year and expects to turn a profit for the first time.Lawbreakers have always tried to hide their identities, wearing hats, pulling bandannas or ski masks over their faces, or donning wigs. Slusser's masks pose additional challenges, but the larger issue remains human nature, said Riordan of the Springdale police force."It's not SPFX masks or Rusty Slusser that's making these people commit crimes," Riordan said.~~~~~~
From Astrololgy.com ~ On December 10, mischievous Mercury makes yet another semi-annual retrograde journey, and just in time to potentially add a little extra stress to your holidays.But have no fear! The key word here is "potentially." As with any astrological event, the final result rests in your hands. There are plenty of tricks and tips that will help Mercury's backwards motion work in your favor. Plus, Mercury will add a pleasant little boost to its activities on the 10th by moving into a positive aspect with romantic Venus.The key to dealing with Mercury is understanding that the messenger planet is something of a prankster, it is in no way malicious. Mercury likes to keep you on your toes, reminding you that even the best-laid plans can go awry. However, it's by learning to deal with these little setbacks that we become more successful at tackling some of life's bigger problems.In this particular case, Mercury will travel through Capricorn, which means it will carry a more practical message: Keep an eye on your spending! This is a wise -- if not enthusiastically embraced -- reminder around the holidays. Still, take a little extra time to go over your budget in detail and try not to overspend. In fact, given the tendencies of retrograde Mercury, it would be smart to set a bit of extra money set aside if possible, just in case.In general, if it seems like little things are somewhat problematic -- electronics are on the fritz, communications keep going afoul or delays seem interminable -- remember to take a step back, breathe deeply and let your mind wander. These things are bound to happen from time to time. Instead of allowing stress to build up, use the time to rejuvenate yourself with a bit of quiet meditation or introspection.And don't forget, the 10th will also see some extra romance once Mercury and Venus take a turn around the dance floor in Scorpio. This combination of communication (Mercury), romance (Venus) and sexy seduction (Scorpio) is sure to help turn up the heat on these cold winter nights!~~~~~~

Part 711 ~ Sylva felt shaken to the core. Still, a part of her battled the guilt now swamping her. Intellectually, she knew she wasn’t at fault. Yet... Ginger gazed at her steadily. “But,” she repeated, “before you’re arrival here on our Earth, Sylva, the Secret Circle was makin’ banging noises. Most of us figured a time of reckoning was comin’ due. Dear, I see your arrival as fortuitous. My Zeke needed a wife like you. And, with the strength of our family, friends, and the community at large, we’re better able to take on this growin’ evil, and bring it to heel.” Zeke caught the reflective flash of the robo-plane and focused the zoom lens. “Sure as shootin’,” he shouted. “Looks the same as what we was chasin’. Are they tryin’ to silence their own? Or, are those good guys?” Van hummed the Speeder closer, but on a higher trajectory, above the robo-plane. “Could be rival bad guys,” he hollered. Zeke gripped the joystick just in case. At the same moment, he heard the streaking whine of the Sheriff’s jet posse. “Right on time,” he called out. Van flew them higher. “They’re hailing us, boss You want me to talk to ‘em?” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 710 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Claw and Jaw ~ Big Cat Sarcasm ~ Oh, joy! The tame prairie was bombard by aerial spraying otherwise known as chemtrails... huge long parallel lines across the sky, and also X’s, for several hours this afternoon. And, no, the Kougaress does not live beneath an airport flight path, or any kind of flight path. She also knows what a regular contrail looks like, having grown up watching them as short vaporous trails behind jets. Oh, how this Big Cat wishes some friendly extraterrestrial, or some divine being... or whoever... would stop them by any means necessary. PLEASE! ~~~

Authoress news and mews ~ The Kougar finished and revised another chapter on her WIP ~ Kandy Apple and Her Hellhounds. Here’s the ‘unedited’ end of that chapter ~ “My guaruvyr,” their witch announced seconds before the winged cat landed with a solid thump on the hood. Lightbulb-bright eyes looked at them through the windshield. Zin knew all the three of them leaned forward as one, peering back. “Indeed, your guaruvyr’s odd eyes are delightfully intriguing.” “Quite the magnificent beast,” Zol agreed. After a serpent-like swish of its exceptionally long tail, the cat blinked once, then lifted its huge paw pressing it against the windshield. In slow motion, Kandy extended her hand, flattening her palm over the guaruvyr’s paw pads. “I think it’s a greeting,” she murmured. “I believe it may be similar to imprinting,” Zol mused, then initiated their synchronizing glance at one other. Together, they altered their eyesight enough to view the energies flowing between their witch and her winged cat. “Darling, your Enduoir guardian will be able to recognize you and find you no matter the magickal form you assume.” “Oh, thank you, Zin. My witchy knowledge is blocked. Maybe, because I didn’t have my guaruvyr growing up. Vresc,” she uttered tenderly, then paused. With her gaze intent on her guardian’s gray-furred face, she remained silent for several moments. “His name is Vresc. I guess he’s a he. I can’t really tell.” “More he than she, I believe,” Zol offered. “Your Vresc is born of magick. No biological parents involved.” Zin tilted his head, realizing there was little difference between him and the guaruvyr, except in how they had been created, their purpose, and the brand of alchemy used to form them. Yes, Zol mind-connected only with Zin. The three of us need our witch’s love. Or, we will perish. Vresc snapped his wings outward, a splendid silver-radiant display of affection. As fast, he folded them against his back, then dropped his paw from the windshield. “Wow. What woman has two hellhounds and a giant winged cat to protect her?” ~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues... Part 709 ~ Sylva allowed Ginger to steer her toward luscious kitcheny smells. They entered a homey, yet huge kitchen with a great hearth. A small blaze crackled, and what appeared to be a pot of tea and mugs had been set on a low wood-plank table. “Here, sit, Sylva dear. And, I’ll explain.” Dropping onto a comfy sturdy couch, Sylva then gazed at Ginger. “A robo-plane is a bird-sized, no-pilot aircraft.” Sylva felt her eyes widen. She chilled. “Drones. Drone planes on my Earth. They use them to spy with and kill...kill enemies. “Don’t worry. Zeke’s father is reworking the security.” Zeke dang well wished his Sylva was with him. Not exactly, though. He didn’t want her in harm’s way, but he’d already come to appreciate her psi abilities. Still, he’d always relied on his own gut instincts. Something was rattling his insides. “Turn off,” he shouted. Immediately, Van dropped his speed. Banking them sharply, he headed toward the ranch. Zeke turned with the zoom lens, attempting to keep the air auto in sight. What he witnessed next astounded him. Black smoke exploded from the front of the auto. Two men scrambled out, running like scalded hounds. “Get the Sheriff online.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 708 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Big Cat Condom Commentary ~ Gee, now you can be hunted down for consensual sex simply because you asked NOT to wear a condom... well, yowls, condoms sure are getting a lot of free promo... yeah, good idea, let’s hunt down every human being who is not using a condom. THAT would include *this* this Big Cat. That is, if she were sexually active. Plus, let’s track and trace every human being who has ever asked NOT to wear a condom. Mygosh, the women effectively castrating Assange, the women in question [who are documented CIA agents, yep, as the covert world turns] could have said, NO. This whole scenario is soooooooooo beyond ridiculous... sooooooo beyond any kind of sanity. So intentionally SALACIOUS... Soooooo completely cartoonish... Yeah, where is that roll of duct tape? This Big Cat needs to wrap her head to keep it from exploding. No, THERE WILL BE NO condom use by this Big Cat. Why? For several reasons. One, there are those of us who are allergic, and allergic to the lubricants. There are also those of us who are torn up inside. That is, the use of a condom causes nasty tears on the vagina wall. Anyone with half a brain knows that is far more dangerous than not using a condom, given the germs have far better access to the bloodstream. Not to mention, the supposed AIDS virus is so small, a condom DOES NOTHING to stop it. Not to mention those in the know, use natural supplements to cure themselves of every venereal disease. All the time. From this Big Cat’s perspective, it would be far wiser to use something like organic coconut oil on the ‘member’ in question. Coconut oil has natural germ-killing properties. Organic, good quality coconut oil tastes really good, and is slipperier than heck, if you want to do some rubbing on that member in question. Organic virgin olive oil has germ-killing properties as well, and could work depending on your preferences. ~~~
BTW ~ Many folks will be *boycotting* WAL-MART, given Big Sis is taking over. Many years ago, this Big Cat gave up on Wally World as any kind of legitimate, non-governmental business. Not to mention, the way business was being done turned her stomach. Thus, in the past she rarely shopped there, the exception being emergencies. This year, she probably made a total of three trips. Now, of course, this Big Cat Renegade will be looking even harder for ways to avoid any manner of contact with Wal-Mart. If enough of us just say NO to Wally World, and NO to the airports that utilize TSA, that could back off Big Sis and Big Brother. And, if we give our business to local folks, in the long run that will work in our favor. ~~~~~~

Ooooh-purrs, the Kougar would love donning that beautiful ladies outfit, with her own embellishments, of course. Cold evening purrs, my fierce-clawed and fabtastic Felines... a beautiful late autumn day on the tame prairie, but shiver, shiver... uh-oh, the Kougaress had two major unexpected problems today... both required off-the-wall ingenuity... a discipline this Big Cat has trained in religiously for most of her life... only because of pure necessity... still, yowls, what works is what works.
A Renaissance in Creative Writing ~ Have you looked around the web, Kittens, at all the amazing writerly blogs? At all the free reads authors and aspiring authors are offering? Not to mention the exponential growth of the ebook market, and all the blossoming subgenres, at this time. The variety of books offered just in the romance genres, alone, is mind-boggling. This renaissance-realization hit moi ~smack in the face~ when she took a look at the Guts and Butts page at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS, and smiled with tingly enjoyment. Yes, it should have been obvious before since the Kougaress adores his period in herstory/history, and because she immediately recalled other free reads, flash stories, and flashes she enjoyed. It’s here. It’s now. A Renaissance in Creative Writing.~~~
The tail-switching holiday moment: There came a tap-tapping outside the Kougar’s office window... so she quietly approached knowing it was probably a bird after an insect dinner... oh, and then, she saw the gray and white tail feathers, and managed to crane her neck enough to catch sight of the red-headed woodpecker... what a darling-cutie! ~~~~~~

Part 703 ~Sylva awoke to a strange high-pitched buzzing. Zeke let go of her rolling fast. She felt the bed give as he launched to his feet. Reluctantly, she opened one eye, and finally blinked. She must have been sleeping much deeper than she realized. “Emergency, darlin’.” Her cowboy’s sleep-roughened voice answered her question somewhat. Jerking up to her elbow, she saw him hauling on a pair of work jeans and a denim shirt. Grabbing his gun belt, he whipped it around his hips, then buckled the two holsters to his thighs. “Emergency?” Sylva asked, realizing real life on this Earth intruded. Zeke acted on pure training and reflex. The moment he’d heard ‘the buzz’, as it was called, he’d leaped out of bed and threw his clothes on, then slid on his gun belt. Now, he perched on a low stool, jerking on what he called his ‘runnin’ boots’. “Sylva, darlin’, you’ll be okay and I’ll be back soon, Lord willin’.” With not even a moment to snatch a kiss from his bride, Zeke planted his Stetson on. “Mother will take care of you.” He gave her a last longing look, then rushed out his back door, trotting down the stairs. ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 701 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Culture jamming slamming time... SEARCH TERM: SPYING ON DRUDGE Watchdog Probes DHS Spying on Drudge FOIA request investigates whether critics of TSA are being listed as domestic extremists~ infowars.com/watchdog-probes-dhs-spying-on-drudge ~ Paul Joseph WatsonInfowars.comWednesday, December 1, 2010A Freedom of Information Act request filed by former Congressman Bob Barr seeks to discover whether the Department of Homeland Security has been keeping tabs on the Drudge Report and other prominent media outlets who have spearheaded a nationwide revolt against invasive TSA airport security measures.The FOIA request, filed by Barr’s Liberty Guard organization (PDF here), demands that the Transportation Security Administration, an agency of the DHS, turn over all information related to “Matt Drudge,” “drudgereport.com,” along with other media personalities and websites that have been at the center of the TSA controversy, including “Alex Jones, “John Tyner” and “prisonplanet.com”.The request seeks to ascertain whether any of these names have been linked with the term “domestic extremist,” in reference to a reported TSA memo that was leaked last week which, according to Doug Hagmann, “officially addresses those who are opposed to, or engaged in the disruption of the implementation of the enhanced airport screening procedures as ‘domestic extremists’.”Numerous confirmed memos originating out of federal or state law enforcement agencies, such as the infamous MIAC report, have listed conservatives and libertarians as “domestic extremists” and even potential domestic terrorists for opposing big government and supporting Constitutionally-minded campaigns and causes.Barr’s attempt to discover whether the federal government is treating critics of the TSA as domestic extremists is key in light of TSA chief John Pistole’s announcement yesterday that all travelers flying in US airspace would be checked against a government watch list before they are given permission to board an aircraft, a system some have likened to Communist-style internal checkpoints.The notion that Matt Drudge, a constant thorn in the side of ‘Big Sis’ Janet Napolitano, along with other prominent media critics of the TSA, could be the target of DHS surveillance is hardly far fetched considering the fact that Homeland Security was caught recently spying on Tea Party groups as well as State Representative Daryl Metcalfe.The TSA is turning into an arm of the DHS’ political police force – how long before Matt Drudge, Bob Barr and Alex Jones are put on a list and prevented from flying? Will everyone who opposes being radiated in a naked body scanner or having their kids felt up by TSA goons be put on a list?Drudge has been at the forefront of a national rebellion against the TSA’s new enhanced pat down procedures which subject travelers, including children, the disabled and the elderly, to humiliating treatment which falls not far short of sexual molestation. ~~~~~~
