I got conned. So, I have been busy because of this. Things will get back to normal soon. In the meantime, be aware of this, to protect yourself

I was going to wait to let you know about this until it was concluded, but I decided that I shouldn’t waste time so you can be aware of these two people and how they operate with distracted theft. I was at Fortino’s in Lawrence Square Sunday, 10 Mar 24. At the salad bar, a woman hit her head on the glass portion as she moved in towards it. It actually was quite hard. Her partner laughed loudly. Myself and another woman expressed concern for her. Afterwards I went to the cash register to pay for my groceries. I saw the same woman in the aisle where I was, looking towards the salad bar. She then moved in beside me at the register to load her items. As I paid for my groceries, I heard the cashier ask her if she needed a bag. She said she did and I offered her one of mine, which she rejected. I had one more stop at the flower shop, before heading out to my car which was parked on the aisle directly outside Fortino’s main entrance/exit. Normally, I keep my purse with me but this time I placed it in the driver’s passenger door. As I placed my groceries in the back of the SUV, the same woman approached me from behind, with a set of cat treats I had bought for my own pet. She had it with a receipt in her hand and told me she thought it was mine. I did not find this surprising because it does happen at times that I find something extra which isn’t mine or vice versa. I asked her if she had paid for it and she said no after glancing at her receipt. She said she had two cats and never tried it so I gave her half. I asked her how her head was and she said that she was more worried about her dog than her head. She was now moving slightly away from behind me. She took out her phone to show me a picture of her dog, a white poodle with a what looked like a slash of blood along one side. I told her she should take her dog to emergency. She said she wasn’t from this country and asked where to take the dog. When I told her to an animal hospital, she asked if it was a human hospital. She stated this a few times and began to scroll down her phone to determine where she was exactly. I moved away from her and went to my car and began to drive away. As I moved my purse, I noticed that it was light. The wallet was missing with all credit cards, gift cards and cash. It appears that these two went directly to Walmart at Lawrence and Keele to do some shopping. Both appear to be Eastern European (Russian), Caucasian, with darker skin. Male is about six feet, heavy build and female is about 5’6’’ with botox heavy lips. This is what makes her stand out. Both have dark hair and eyes, wearing dark clothing. They are anywhere from 25-35 years of age. When I went to my bank, I was informed that at his last bank there were six customers reporting being scammed a day. I do love my city. This is my home. I think that the majority of people living here are wonderful, but we do have too much crime. I have been aware of distraction theft and normally ignore and walk by people approaching me in parking lots, saying no thank you. I was also approached at a gym where I was suspicious and let it be known. However, this is a situation where a person fakes injury, takes a piece of your grocery and then approaches you from behind when you are loading groceries. She returns your item and then depicts concern not for herself but her pet. While she is distracting you, her partner is stealing from you. I wasn’t familiar with this, so just in case you aren’t, you are now.

For Love of Country - Military Policewoman https://www.silvaredigonda.ca

I was working and going to an accident scene. Our bus had been struck by a horse and buggy. The horse lay on the ground, crying, blood running from his mouth. A few of our soldiers came begging me to shoot the horse. I knew I couldn’t and as they continued to beg me, I looked at the Egyptian owner of the horse, my peripheral vision watching the horse suffering alone with no one to comfort him. Death would soon claim him. I looked at this Egyptian man with his toothy stained grin. I knew he wanted me to shoot the horse because then we would have to pay him a hell of a lot of money. The accident was his fault; he had cut off the bus. Greed was plastered all over his face. I knew that I could not shoot the horse. Watching anything or anyone suffer has always torn at me. At that moment as I looked at the Egyptian, aware of his suffering horse, I asked myself why we were there. Why didn’t we just go home, let them all kill each other and return to pick up the pieces. What was our purpose for people who thought so differently from us – who had no respect for life or suffering? The horse died as I glared at the Egyptian, my fellow soldiers still near me, also suffering in resignation. We had our own dog, Lucy, at the camp. Females of any kind were worthless in Egypt, and Lucy had somehow been adopted by the Australians. She was an alcoholic and one of the men who worked in the bar took care of her and weaned her off alcohol. It is not nice watching anyone withdraw from alcohol. Her shakes were disturbing and I really didn’t think she would survive, but she did. There was a rule that if a dog was found loose it would be put down. Every time Lucy got loose one of the Canadian soldiers would call me in desperation. I always found her and would bring her home. She didn’t have to be put down during my tour. I can only hope that someone continued to care for her after I left and that she lived for a long time. Silva Redigonda. “For love of country : military policewoman.” silvaredigonda.ca

Eschatology - continues - notes

Movie watched was God vs Satan, The final battle. Dreams and Nightmares - visions. 7 - holy # in Hebrew tradition; slaughtered lamb; breaking seven seals - natural disasters Islamic vision: many disasters, world wars, struggle between evil and good powers. Armagandon - a place - an ancient place in the holy ground < Satan defeated, but not final draw (mountain of Mezato) at the base of the mountain of Mazot - a final battle. That is the real battle - supernatural Jesus and Satan. Who is the religious figure? Once defeated - new heaven and new earth will be created. Discussion after the movie: written in a time of turmoil. Carl Jung sometimes said that it is over dramatic to make a point. New Testament mindset knew it was symbolic. Four traditions developed in revelation. Written in the past and talking about their present time but also for the future. Augustine - evil is a minute distortion of the good, evil will minutely distort it by pride. Charity distorted envy. Evil is a mimic distribution of the good. 3 figures in revelation 1. false prophet - leader; 2. Anti-Christ; 3. Satan. All distort mimicry of Christ Holy Spirit and creator. Mimic distortion of working itself out. Battle has been won - (cross). We are waiting for final consummation. When grace enters there is tension, bad mimics it but it is distortion. Final has not occurred because of evil which mimics it. It talks about past, present and future. We are involved in the battle. Can’t touch Mary so we are attached, the children. Multi-eyed lamb - nothing is hidden, everything is seen. Movie - The Road - All things past - God never changes - it would have to be a deceiver ( Speculation). to be continued ……

Men’s Conference - Parental Alienation: Long-Term Effects of Court Orders by Dr Denise Hines, Mason University, College of Public Health (near Washington DC) and Dr Bates, University of Cumbria.

Not all children who are exposed to parental alienating behaviours become alienated. In the USA and Canadian poll, more than 84.4 - 88.3, identified as heterosexual did not predict victimization. Patriarchy survival and continues to be. At this point one participant began to argue, once again. I found this annoying. I did mention this in my report of how I found the conference to be. Though I found the conference very informative it is open to everyone and anyone. The host continued in response to the male not liking what he was hearing. He stated that Patriarchy does not only affect men, it affects women. He indicated that in his study, few men had drinking problems. Participants in his study, came to him. He did not accept any who were in the courts, unless it was over. Some men worked long hours. Some saw violence from other countries. One man who came to him had killed a man and came out of prison. In the past if he got into a fight, he would use a knife or gun. He had two fingers missing and scars on his back. When he was a child, a teacher noticed he had been whipped from the scars visible on his fingers and back. Now this man who was helped for a year and a half has turned his life around and is married. Women are still not seen as equals in power. This needs to be addressed. A study consisted of 508 participants, 18-59 years of age. The least healthy romantic relationships were met on line. This was non-female identifying. 6.3 indicated they had parented a child. They had also experienced other forms of abuse associated with suicidality. Dr Rachell Bim-Baum returned, from King’s University College at Western and Queens University, Canada. Parental Alienation: Long term effects of Court Orders. She reported that children did not feel they were listened to. Children are excluded from the legal process. Interventions are confusing and tumultuous. Children want to be heard. Some said they could share with a sibling which was positive. 6/9 children had no contact with favourite parent between the ages of 3-7. There can be financial ruin. Once court starts, it never ends and one can spend up to one million dollars to see their child. There is a loss of the child during all this. Extreme behaviours are associated with parental alienation. Resources should not bankrupt families. Any errors listed is mine alone and not that of the speakers. To be continued.
