On another website, I just read that the frequency of a cat's purring can make bone stronger.
I looked up purring in cats.

The above link is related.

    Reminds me a bit of Chi or what I understand of it. Yes sounds can soothe and create stress. I know that from when I played the accordion. What I chose to play directly reflected how I was feeling and I usually felt better after an hours work out with the bellows in addition to the music itself.

Busy people setting priorities--i.e. reducing stress we don't want!

Sunday, November 27, 2011


This method of making priorities is a little different than others I have seen. It allows us to decide , for example, how busy we choose to be. I have not read that anywhere before.

So, 10 tips for busy people to make priorities:

  I really like it when I come across an article that is outside the typical list one might find that feels like it was copied and pasted. I particularly like embracing the chaos especially in reference to the unpredictability that can come from introducing more elements into life. Expelling less mental energy is also a great piece of advice for me personally, as I do start to over analyze and have learned to start trusting my gut and instincts, as they are usually right. I put a lot of effort into a passion of mine, which is writing for a film blog I have worked on for years. It requires research and I love that sort of activity. Recently after talking with a colleague of mine who also works at Dish Network, I realized that I could expand my resources. This impressed me because the joy of discussion on the site is the reward for the hard work. The launch of Dish Network’s new package the Blockbuster Movie Pass opens up so many doors. Blockbuster Movie Pass will now be a combination of two of Dish Network’s prestigious packages the Dish Platinum and the Blockbuster by Mail package allowing me to stream thousands of movies with my laptop or my Dish receiver. How fantastic! I also now have access to thousands of DVD movies, TV shows and games by mail with unlimited exchange necessary for the elegant movie blog I have been hosting for years. Therefore, I can research the information I need from the film standpoint while looking into the media aspect as well which covers all the research necessary for the blog, $10 a month seems like a small price to pay for so many people’s enlightenment. When I post the articles, I will get a broader perspective on how the additional resources have helped open up more discussion points within the article. For me that is rewarding and definitely aligns my goals with my values. emoticon

More to come.. only because I wrote a blog I did not like--to negative! Then I did not know how to get rid of it! So, I changed the title to "more to come."

Sorry about that! Chris

Kittens , kittens, and more kittens!

Friday, November 25, 2011

A new friend and neighbor visited today. He mentioned taking his visiting family
to see the animal where he volunteers. I said I'd like to see and I was (sort of) thinking of getting another cat to play with the one we have now. The shelter is only 6 months old. It looked like condos for cats--and dogs, I later found out. It was new and spotless and had hundreds of cats and dogs. Oh my!

It was a very balmy day and that made a nice outing for me and even my DH in his motorized wheelchair.

We were advised to visit with our cat to see if he would be amenable to having
another cat in the house. www.facebook.com/pages/The-Simon-Fou

    Bringing another pet into a house to joing an established pet is never easy. Even if they get along ahead of time, the process to get the established pet to accept the new one in his/her territory can be difficult. I've heard it's even more difficult than getting a toddler to accept a new baby in the house. So if you choose to do this, you may want to look online to find the process that is used to make the safe introduction of a new pet to the house.

Dr. Phil's advice to recognize you are stressed....

Friday, November 25, 2011

Family Joke Stress Relief Humor...
You know your family is stressed when...

Conversations often begin with "Put the gun down, and then we can talk".
The school principal has your number on speed-dial.
The cat is on Valium.
People have trouble understanding your kids, because they learned to speak through clenched teeth.
You are trying to get your four-year-old to switch to decaf.
The number of jobs held down by family members exceeds the number of people in the family.
No one has time to wait for microwave TV dinners.
"Family meetings" are often mediated by law enforcement officials.
You have to check your kid's day-timer to see if he can take out the trash.
Nescafe gives you industrial rates.
