A peek at cat heaven

To each of you who has gifted me a HEART

I don't know what appeal you've seen in my DU posts, but I'm going to lie here and continue to do my thing in hopes of impressing you further...

Synchronicity

THE CONTRADICTIONS!!!!

OMG, I can so relate to this. Add to the mix: eggs are good for you/eggs will be your demise; coffee is beneficial/coffee will put you in an early grave. There are many other examples.

Generally, moderation is the key. And great genetics. Hard to top great genes.

Usain Bolt ties NFL combine record in 40-yard dash

In Atlanta this weekend for promotional purposes with Puma, eight-time Olympic Gold medalist Usain Bolt just turned heads at Mercedes-Benz Stadium — in sweats and sneakers no less.

Bolt ran an electronic-timed 4.22 in the 40-yard dash, tying the all-time fastest mark set at the NFL Combine by former Washington speedster John Ross. Ross broke Chris Johnson's record two years ago in Indianapolis on his first run and didn't try a second attempt.

One of the world's fastest men, Bolt is the only athlete in history to win Olympic 100m and 200m titles at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012 and 2016).

The Jamaican retired sprinter, 32, doesn't look like he has lost any of his world-class jets. He recently declared that his "sports life is over" and is looking to gain appeal in the business world, much like former USA gold medalist Michael Johnson.

He isn't signing with any NFL team, sorry!

Michael Smerconish just suggested that the Mueller investigation

might end up bringing down a bunch of Trump associates but not find any guilt on the part of Trump himself.

Is there anyone else who believes that's even a remote possibility? How could all of this illegal activity have gone on around Trump without his direct involvement, especially someone of his character?

Are you a mouse or touchpad user? (Also, desktop, laptop or phone?)

My sister surfs the web via her phone all the time. I can't do that. I'm a laptop user, no mouse, so I use the touchpad. Now on the topic of that darn touchpad, it's my friend and my enemy. On my existing laptop and on my previous one, I have disabled the single-finger "tap to click" feature because it led to far too many unwanted surfing locations as the darn thing would activate almost any hyperlink it came across (and that was with the sensitivity setting reduced to low).

So I continue to use the touchpad to glide the cursor around the screen but I must deliberately push down at the bottom of the touchpad to move from one destination to the next. That means I actually hear a physical "click" each time, which is a little annoying but less annoying than unintentionally activating an advertisement that I wanted no part of.

Reclusive Deity Hasn't Written A New Book In 2,000 Years




NEW YORK—Leading writers, scholars, and publishers gathered this week at Fordham University for a literary conference and panel discussion on God, the widely praised but reclusive deity who has not published a book since His landmark debut 2,000 years ago.

Hailed by critics as one of the most important authors in recent millennia, the eccentric divinity is said to have long ago retreated from the public eye, eschewing a life of celebrity for one of solitude and quiet. To this day, experts confirmed, His artistic reputation rests exclusively upon His bestselling and highly acclaimed first work, the Bible.

“God has granted no interviews, made no public appearances, and kept entirely to Himself for what seems like ages, and yet it’s fair to say that no other author has been quite so influential,” said noted critic and conference attendee James Wood, observing that while the fiercely private immortal being has only one book to His credit, He remains among the world’s most respected and quoted writers. “For many readers, God’s writing had a transformative impact on their lives, and countless people list His book among their favorite titles. But for reasons that we can only speculate about, God has chosen to stay out of the limelight and let His words speak for themselves. Perhaps it is God’s retreat into His own world that allowed Him to render His vision so vividly on the page.”

“It’s also possible that, with the first book, He simply said everything He had to say,” Wood continued. “Though one would think a writer of such impressive knowledge and power would never lack for inspiration.”
