LG K51 Died After 2 Years

I've had this phone for 2 years and 3 months. Not a scratch on it. Never got it wet and it only got dropped a few times (normal enough). I was using it the other night and then black screen of death. Luckily it's insured and I'm going to go get it replaced. Just wanted to log it on the internet that these phones die out of nowhere. i even had 128GB micro sd card in it for extra storage. Thought it would take the pressure off? I still have my Samsung Galaxy S8 from 2017 that works. 5 years old and the only scratch on it is on the back. The screen is still beautiful. Too bad I never paid it off, so it's still locked. sad face.

Human Design Emotional Solar Plexus

 

For some, with an open Emotional Solar Plexus, with a Selective Cave Environment, food tastes better when they have a Defined Emo-Solar Plexus person around. (If that Defined person is in a good part of their wave that is)

That's just a little anecdotal observation, but it can score as something to look for in your own life.

July 2022 Anime Recommendations

 It all started with Fractale and how much we loved the mood of this anime. I wanted to keep that momentum going, something with an alternative future.

Fractale 😃, SciFi, Steampunk, flyer ships, high tech, "dopples"

 

Last Exile 😍 SciFi, steampunk, flyer ships, hourglass planet, Greek, world building 

 

Last Exile: Fam, The Silver Wing 🙂, Zach didn't like it too many women? It's further down the timeline and we didn't finish this one. Part 2 for Last Exile and it's not the same mood as the first one. Whiny side characters.

Descendents of Darkness😃Supernatural Cop Drama, didn't finish but it was good. I'll go back to it. Lots of teasing with boy on boy flirtation. I don't remember much about it, sadly. It didn't fit with the theme that we'd been watching so far. That's why it was abandoned. Very much a buddy cop show. It did have real elements of Japan in the scenery.The City of Nagasaki is shown throughout the series. Many tourist sites such as The Peace Memorial, Glover Garden, and Oura Cathedral are shown. 

 

This very much created a turning point and the theme became paranormal.

 

The Greatest Demon Lord Is Reborn As A Typical Nobody😃 Fantasy, Reincarnation, Demons, Supernatural, Emotionally Intelligent, Deep. Demon just shows up in a 10 year old's body and learns to have friends. Mostly a teens-in-school drama. Love triangle between his childhood Elf girl friend and his new Succubus friend. Everywhere he goes, women fall in love. In this era they've forgotten a lot of tech and magic, he brings it back accidently. In his former life as a Lord, he was seen as slacker escaping responsibility by dying and trying to reincarnate. He gives himself away to his former sister (a long lived demon) through his kind of magic. Can guys be a Mary-Sue? I didn't like him having everyone constantly fall in love with him for being so precoscious. I hope it fills out more in the upcoming episodes.

 

 

Aquarion😃 😍Tech, Supernatural-Mystic, Reincarnation,Tree of Life, Angels, Gorgeous Artwork, Truly Beautiful, MechSuit, Bro/Sis, DEEP! They fly machines called Vectors to fight the Shadow Angels that live on the other side of the veil of reality and hunt humans. Love and jealousy and unrequited greetings tear everyone apart. Which side of reality will take hold?

Aquarion Evol 😀MechSuit, Fantasy, Reincarnation, Contemporary. This is the evolution, hundreds of years and reincarnations later! A new religion has been formed because of the actions of those in the original series. So much forgotten and had to be relearned about the Vectors.

 

Aquarion Logos 😅 Modern, MechSuit, Intellectual, Goofy, Abstract, Language, Reincarnation. This is about words and meaning, only loosely part of the trilogy. In this Aquarion they fight words, hence the name Logos. Words and their meanings and reification and how so much goes unseen due to words creating a barrier to reality. A fight between those who want a peaceful world with communication and a bitter man who wants to destroy the world by destroying meaning/words/logos.

The Dawn of The Witch 😀1800's-esque fantasy about witches, war and witch hunts. Critical of organized religion.

 

 

 

Devil Line 😀Vampires, Cop Drama, Thriller. Has to do with vampires called Devils in modern Japan and a secret devil police force 

 

Ascendance of a Bookworm😍😍😍Reincarnation, Fantasy, Magic Personally love it, quiet. Quiet not an action piece. A librarian dies and gets reincarnated back in a time before the printing press as a 6 year old. Posits an interesting question about what one would do of they were reincarnated in a time without books, shoot, without paper! Look for season 4

 

 Here's another turning point. We really loved "Bookworm" and then stumbled onto "Overlord." "Overlord" was also very good and we wanted more on that same theme: a single person who loves a video game gets transported to the world of the game!

Overlord😍😀😀 Fantasy magical video game theme. Starts when the game is shutting down an mmorpg. A guy is stuck in a video game, sort of. The server shut down, he was still on as he went to sleep and woke up in the world of the video game as the character he played, head leader. Really interesting! Great Writing!! The npc's know they were created by beings who are no longer there. Worldbuilding is incredible.

 Season 4 is out now in Japan, July 2022

 

 Now we only wanted anime like Overlord:

 

Death March To The Parallel World Rhapsody😀. Fantasy (Watching because Overlord left a hole in my heart) Ichiro Suzuki is a man pushing his 30s and working a job as a programmer for MMORPGs when he is transported to a new world that contains elements of the same games he's created. Now in the body of a 15-year-old, he sets out to uncover this mystery. He collects a female child entourage.

 

 

How to Not Summon A Demon lord 😑😃 Fantasy, Magic, Video Game World. A guy trapped in video game as a demon lord, he's more powerful, way too much boob humor and it's very time consuming and repetitive. But I did end up liking it. Look for season 3. He's a guy who was a legendary player in a MMORPG and got summoned by an elf and a cat girl into a fantasy land like the game. He collected more and more women. All adult female entourage

 

The Sacred Blacksmith 😕Fantasy, in a list of things like Overlord--didn't even finish first episode 

That Time I got Reincarnated As A Slime, 😍😀👌🥳Reincarnation, Magic, Fantasy. Similar to that one called "I've Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years And Maxed It My Level", nope, more serious and adult. Look for season 3!! 37 year old virgin reincarnated as a blob. He's a blob who meets a dragon and has inner wisdom in the form of a computer program. He has hobgoblin friends and ogres that turn into sexy kaijen. Blob turns into a demon lord. He collects and entourage--not just female. 

 

The Ones Within 😶a bunch of LetsPlayers get kidnapped and forced to play until they hit 10 million views on the stream. Bunch of high schoolers so we just half watched. We really didn't watch just had it on while on our phones 

Gate😍😍😍 Fantasy, Modern, Magic, Military, Ambitious storytelling: 33 yo otaku in modern world, (anime or computer nerd to the point of no social skills). Fantasy invaders in modern Japan before a comicon this man helps prevent invasion to keep the comicon open. Backwards from the others in that sense, the fantasy came to him. 2, 6

Look for season 3!! Otaku turns out to be special forces ranger  in a magical world 

 Kado: The Right Answer 😍😍😍 SciFi , Contemporary, a cube appears and swallows an airplane with 2 negotiators on it. Only one man can understand the cube man and is an interpreter. Very intellectual, hard Sci Fi.

 

 

World Trigger Gate opens into a regular modern world

Anime: Fractale & Last Exile

 Watched a great Futuristic, Technological, Sci Fi anime called "Fractale." 

 

 After it was over, I needed something similar for after & found 2003's "LastExile." All the same from before with great characters & world-building.

Protective Orders and Court in VA

 

Last August, on 16th St here at the Oceanfront, there was a man who went batshit crazy and attacked a friend and I with a bokken, a giant wooden katana sword and then ran and got what looked like a rifle and pointed it at us (because we ran away as soon as he pointed it, screaming at us, I don't know what it was except a giant gun). He was definitely going to shoot.

 

After continuance after continuance the court date was supposed to be today but I got a call from the Commonwealth's Prosecutor, Charles Agerter, yesterday morning saying today's date was going to be postponed AGAIN because he had pneumonia. He told me the defendant was offered a plea but he refused it and then he asked when would be good for me in April or May. Fucking May!!!

 

Obviously, I thought I didn't need to go today, right? 

 

I was wanting to get a group together to go with me and thanks for offering !!! Thank you so much. (All the other times there's no protection for the victims in situations like this. The defendant, and his gf, follow me out to the parking lot and hang out by my car. It's fucking awful. It's why I wanted a group this time.)

 

I did go today because I wasn't sure if the protective order needed to be renewed until the next court date. The summons said 9:15am. I get there at 8:47am and they've already started!!!! They started at 8:30am and had someone sent out in the parking lot looking for me. 

 

The Judge just decided to go forward with it. And the defendant was sweating bullets because he had no lawyer, had brought no evidence, and had to represent himself. 

 

IT WAS GLORIOUS!

 

When he had attacked with the sword to start with, my friend blocked the attack by picking up a basil plant to get between us and the sword. The defendant got hit by that and that's when he ran off to get the gun. The defendant here, was pressing charges for assault and battery. Part of his plea was to NOT press those charges, but with no lawyer there, he decided to press the charges anyway.

 

And if you've never seen an idiot child be their own lawyer before, wow, it's fucking awesome. He really just kept incriminating himself over and over. And he straight lied. His story is that out of nowhere, for no reason, my friend hit him in the head with a potted plant--and he has pictures of the injury, boohoo, and in that stunned flight or fight moment--he had to go and run and get his gun. His girlfriend said the same thing--except she mentioned that she and the defendant were fighting right before that happened, he was still talking to his ex. Great time to bring that up. Super relevant. Not incriminating or showing the defendant's mind-frame at all.

 

My friend DID have a great lawyer Chad Roberts from York County (previously a Newport News Commonwealth's Attorney's Office as an Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney, ftw) as he needed one because he was being charged. When it was Chad's turn to ask questions he gave the defendant so many opportunities to amend his story and tell the truth. I kept watching what he was asking and the defendant just kept digging his hole deeper. I mean, the defendant there, had no clue it would have been so much better for him to tell the actual truth. His defense just made him look so bad and he kept mentioning extraneous details as a defense that ONLY MADE HIM LOOK WORSE AND WORSE. 

 

The defendant called his girlfriend as a witness and she kept saying things that made them look bad. Also, she wasn't dressed for court--she really looked bad. They both just looked the part of scumbag defendants. (She's been retaliatory in the mean time, calling the cops and lying to them about my friend; calling animal control to get my dog taken away saying my dog bit her----I don't have a dog) They both mentioned the defendant's temper, he mentioned going to AA and NA. 

 

So I guess he was high and drunk when this happened---HE WASN'T BREATHALYZED, that wasn't even a part of this, until he brought it in, lol!!!! No lawyer having mfer, lol.

 

That Judge was BOLD to just go ahead today. 

 

I was a witness for the Commonwealth, but without the Commonwealth's Attorney Mr. Agerter there. My friend was completely believed by the judge that hitting the defendant was in self-defense and the charges were dropped. The judge even told the defendant if he had tried that at his house it would have been worse than a getting hit with a potted plant, he would have been shot.

The judge had a clever way of getting the truth out of the defendants. He asked the defendant's girlfriend about the sword, if it fell out of the defendant's hand when he was hit with the plant. (See, he gave her an out, asking if it was out of his hand makes it easier for her to say Yes. Meaning that there WAS IN FACT a sword) And she took a long pause, head whipped to look to her boyfriend for approval, then went on to say, "Yes, it was a bokken, not a sword, there's no metal blade, it's painted black wood." She said it with this tone of like, duh, smiling, seeking approval in the worst way grinning. However, the way she described it made it seem like you really couldn't tell in the heat of the moment if it was metal or not by saying it was painted black. LOL!!!

I mean, I guess maybe the handle is painted black? But it's a giant oak wood sword. A bokken apparently. Scary. That's what was going to give him the Felony too. Because brandishing a rifle was still only a misdemeanor???

Looking back, I think this guy had run home to get the sword because he was going to break the bedroom window. The one he'd been punching while yelling that he was going to come inside and kill us.

 

Hilarious when the judge told the defendant he could ask questions, explaining that they couldn't be argumentative, etc.

All he asked Z. was, "Do you admit you hit me with the pot?"

"Yes"

Then he asked me,"Can you explain, in 5 seconds or less, how you saw me point the gun when the door was only partly opened and you weren't on the porch?"

That made everyone kind of smirk. Oh, in 5 seconds or less? Really?

The judge interrupted and said I had all the time in the world to answer, lol. Uh, yeah.

"I was on the porch. The door was open." 

 

(I'd already given my testimony to everything that had happened, what time it was, where I was, that I was already on the phone with the police since the outburst first started. What he asked had already been stated. But I bet he was so adrenaline filled he couldn't hear much but the thought train in his own head about how he was going to get out of this with no lawyer)

 

I'm unclear on what the sentence was. I was wanting this to be a felony on his record. Without Mr. Agerter, the fuck? I'll call this week to figure this out. I just don't want this guy to be able to own a weapon. Obviously. He is on good behavior for the next 360 days for me and 180 days for my friend. So, if he has a run in with the law he'll have to spend the rest of the days in jail? That's what I'm unclear on. Are they consecutive? Or what?

I do have a 2 year protective order on him though, and he can't have a gun during this time. So, that's something.

While I did wait for a while after court before going to my car (I brought a Southern Living magazine, read about flower arranging), I still ran into him and his gf in the parking lot driving out!

 

But thanks to everyone who offered to come with me, now you're all off the hook. It's done. 

 

The other things the defendant did as his own representation to incriminate himself, while he thought it was a Good defense, a Great thing to say:

-Started out by saying he was having an argument with his girlfriend. (So did she and went into what they were arguing about)

-Said he had been working on his temper. (So did she) That only makes him look more guilty.

-Said he's been going to AA and NA and did the 90 in 90. That was never an issue, the cops didn't breathalyze him.

-Part of his defense was that my friend hit him with a potted plant for no reason, and my friend has military training. (I saw the judge recognize that as, oh, so you attacked a Vet)

-My friend's lawyer gave the defendant so many chances to say the truth in questioning. He asked over and over and in different ways about the events leading up to him getting hit with a basil plant. He just wouldn't help himself and say that he charged up the porch with a weapon, the sword. Lying under oath is never a great thing for credibility.

 -The other thing that I know must be causing arguments is that when Elizabeth Schultz was asked to give testimony the very first thing she said was that they were arguing, because he's still talking to his ex, and she nodded her like you understand, right?

 

LOL!!! No, no no no no sweetie. First off they didn't need to even say they were arguing. We had no idea anyone was arguing, just someone was talking real loud for 30 minutes right outside the window. They were just asked to be quiet or move it along. But here they are just coming in and giving themselves away, while trying to look completely innocent and that they were the victims.

 

She said he was talking to his ex and they were arguing about it with a baby in her arms, to a judge, while trying to make him look like a good guy? And those 2 hate us because of all this trouble--because it's our fault right? All this trouble they're in, it's our fault. So, I know her saying that, in front of us, must just be eating him up alive. That she was making him look bad just every which away.

 

Today my friend at least got a great call from his slumlord-landlady saying she's trying to make them move out now that the verdict came down guilty. Really, this woman has been making everything so much worse than it had to be this entire time. My friend was having to move out very soon--he's wanted to be out since the start of this, but now that they could be gone very soon, he's now welcome to stay. So, that's something. It's a mess, but at least the landlady said something nice and not antagonistic here at the end of things.

 

So glad my friend's self-defense was seen for what it was and he was found Not-Guilty and today's theme on March 23rd is Gate 25, Innocence. Which both my friend and I have natally. 

Gate 25

Innocence

Gate of the Spirit of the Self
The Spiritual Warrior

_________________________________________________________ 

The perfection of action through uncontrived and spontaneous nature. To love everything equally. Triumph and survival enrich the spirit and result in the wonder of being.

Left Angle Cross of Healing
Godhead - Michael

Line 6 - Ignorance False innocence betrayed by actions.   Exaltation: The least mild of a negative position, where inappropriate action is censured. The loss of innocence through inappropriate action.   Detriment: Constant inappropriate and destabilizing actions whose very counterproductiveness strips away the facade of innocence. Constant inappropriate action in times of challenges that can break the spirit.

Quarter of Initiation, the Realm of Alcyone Theme: Purpose fulfilled through Mind Mystical Theme: The Witness Returns Gate 36 < Gate 25 > Gate 17 This Gate is part of the Channel of Initiation, A Design of Needing to be First, linking the G Center (Gate 25) to the Ego Center (Gate 51). Gate 25 is part of the Individual (Centering) Circuit with the keynote of empowerment. The love of Gate 25 flows out of fully accepting and living surrendered to one's form. A gate of the higher self, its pivotal role is to turn people toward individuation. Our innocence is not designed to bring love into the world in any specific way, but rather to love without discrimination. Those who carry this gate hold the potential, and empower others with the potential, to love life and everything in it equally. A flower can be loved as profoundly as a human. This quality of love is often projected as cool or cold but is neither. The mystical potential of this love is transcendent and universal, and our spirit innocence is always being tested. We have the capacity to meet these initiations from life like a spiritual warrior, fired up and ready to compete for our spirit (our individuality) no matter what the circumstance. Then, when the warrior or "fool" of Gate 51 prods us to leap into the void, or when we meet life's initiating challenges, we will be able to land on our feet and deepen our innocence into a wisdom that can empower others on their own journey. We may emerge a bit wounded from such initiations, but our ultimate triumph and survival enriches our spirit and the spirit of those around us. The result is that we are alive with the wonder, the love, of being.

The Daily View reflects the impact the Sun (70% of the neutrino influence) is having on humanity as it moves through the Gates and Lines of the Mandala.  Transits are potentials that you can witness in others and the world around you, and, if correct for you, as you follow your individual Strategy and Authority, may become a part of your experience as well.

2022 Further Down The Timeline

 Wow, it's been so many years since I've used this site! 

 

I started my journey with Keto and that lasted about 2 years. I maintained my goal weight and quit drinking.

It's now been 3 1/2 years of abstinence from drinking for me and all the weight has stayed off.
I am no longer in ketosis, it's more low carb now.  The thing about ketosis is that it is meant for epileptic children who can't take harsh meds. Being in ketosis lowers brain function 😅, which helps epileptics, but isn't the greatest for me.

Looking at this old blog and even older ones I've used on different emails (there's 3 of them beyond just this one)

I pulled a card to take a look at restarting this blog in this age of different social media: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc. and pulled The Fool 0.

With this tarot card, 0 The Fool, I'm being warned about hastiness. I can look foolish if I'm not more thoughtful about this. It's great to go ahead and just take a plunge, for sure. Yet, it is a plunge. 

 2022 Springtime! There's a feeling of excitement this time. Because of the Pandemic in 2020, I started my first garden and learned how easy it really is and addictive. This spring I know what to plant in pots and what to put in the ground. Where to put the Pansies to have them all season long and where to put the long tall Zinnias so they don't hide the Marigolds!

I'll be back with HUMAN DESIGN info! If anyone is looking for more information please go to Facebook and join all the Human Design groups there. It's a treasure trove as we head towards 2027.

 

I'll be turning 50 in 2027 and this is something I found from a forgotten blog of mine and I don't know who the author of this is. There were no links unfortunately.

 

2027 is an important year in Human Design. It's when the background frequency changes. It will no longer be for us, it will be for the Rave children that will start being born from that year forward.

Thanksgiving 2014: Keto Low Carb Banquet

I've changed my eating habits since May of this year, going into Ketosis to burn fat, so I've adopted a Low Carb High Fat style of cooking. And wow, does this way of eating work to lose weight, regulate insulin, and (if you're a woman) regulate your menstrual cycle. For me, no more ups and downs with nausea and headaches from blood sugar issues---oh and people have stopped asking me when I'm due.

Here's my 50 pound difference, blond me is from 2012 at the weight of 176 lbs, and the redheaded me is at 125 lbs. Eating Keto style since May, I've lost 30 pounds and I don't plan on letting the holidays bring me down. (I lost the first 20 pounds pole dancing)

For one thing, I've started eating meat!!! I was raised vegetarian and had no idea how good protein was for me. If I eat it, then I'm no longer hungry all day, wow, what a concept. I didn't get fat from simply over eating, I was actually hungry all the time and I ate to control that.  The second thing is, I have a food scale and weigh out everything I eat, it's the only way to really know. Keeping carbs low, to around 20 grams a day, takes some getting used to and at first it's hard to just eyeball the food, you have to get it there and weigh it and track it for the first few months, in my opinion.

Now my plan is simply the same during the holidays, keep carbs to 20 grams, my protein around 60-90g, and fat to around 100g. For this Thanksgiving I'm cooking my first turkey! It'll be Kosher, because of the way it's drained then soaked in salt water, giving it this wonderful flavor. I only bought a 13 lb turkey, because my husband is still vegetarian.

Keto Turkey Gravy

Broccoli Casserole (my old standby, I use a gluten free mushroom soup, so there's no flour)

Deviled Eggs

Almond Bread (I sub in Almond Butter for Peanut Butter, gives it a more neutral bread flavor)

Fried Apples (faster than baking, I promise)

Mashed Cauliflower I sub heavy cream for the milk, lower carb, higher flavor.

If you haven't tried this, it's so good. A great alternative to the very carby mashed potatoes. And we need something to pour all that delicious gravy over!

Fresh Pumpkin Pie (sugar free, low carb) 

I make this crustless for me and my mom, and I'll make one with a store bought crust for my in-laws. I experimented making this before Thanksgiving just to make sure the flavor would be there with no actual sugar, and fuck yeah! It's there, I use a brown sugar substitute (sucralose). Oh, and made with fresh sugar pumpkin that I roasted, pureed and froze when they were in season.

Whipped Cream (sugar free, sweetened with Vanilla Torani Syrup)

Found out my mom has an immersion blender which has a whisk attachment, makes it SO MUCH EASIER to whip some cream. Again, I experimented beforehand to make sure the flavor was there, and YES, so so so good and sugar free, meaning there's only 1 carb per 15 grams.

Strawberry Blossoms (I'll sweeten it with either Splenda or the Torani Vanilla syrup)

Strawberry Cream Pie (I'm torn between these two strawberry desserts, there might be one I make just for my house and one I leave with my in-laws. I'll make this without the unnecessary crust)
