Ogham Readings on Mondays: Sorry, Cancelled This Week

[kimberlysteele]

My apologies: I won't be reading Ogham this week because the clacking of the tiles bothers my cat Kiki and we are euthanizing her tomorrow.  I ask for prayers for her smooth transition through the Gates.

Ogham readings will return next Monday.  Thank you for your patience and support.

Hello! I am considering selling the house and moving. What does Ogham think of this idea?

Martial Arts

[(Anonymous)]

Hello Kim-
As always, thanks for doings these! Last week, I was asking about taking up a martial art. After last weeks response, I've been trying to figure out exactly which martial art I should take up. Right now I think it might be Muay Thai or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; What does the Ogham have to say about me taking up either one?
Thanks!

Best wishes for your week, Kim.

What do the ogham forecast for my week?

Bed Bugs?

[jeremymcjohnson]

My question is, do I have bed bugs? I noticed some very generic looking small bites lately, but I didn't find any bed bug scats or specimens. I went crazy on Friday spraying and throwing down the powder, but apparently bites can take up to two weeks to show up, so I'm not sure what I did was effective. I had them before and got rid of them myself. If necessary I'd even call in the dog and then the exterminator. Thanks Kimberly.

P.S. I liked your last post about Chicago and stuff. I remember in 2011 I was on a train with a small burlesque dancer from Chicago and she was telling me how great it was. I guess it must have been going downhill since.

My dad contended with bedbugs in Italy in 1945. They tend to bite around your waist, in sets of 3; soldiers joked the bedbugs were having breakfast, lunch, and supper!

Whats up this week?

Hi Kimberly,

Last week's reading was helpful. Nothing specific, it just made me be aware of what I need to watch for when some problems came up. Kept me from making them worse.

So how does this week shape up?

Hi Kimberly,

I'm in charge of some waterway clean up projects next week. How will they go?

Thank you for your time.

So sorry to hear about Kiki. I will pray for her.

[cutekitten]

Oh, no! Sorry to hear about Kiki, but it’s obvious you took good care of her and she had a happy life.

umm.. did no one else actually bother to read your statement this week?
..anyway, am sending prayers your way! /|\

It's not them, it's me

[kimberlysteele]

I originally posted the usual "please get your readings here" announcement last night and then changed it this afternoon when I realized Kiki would have to be euthanized tomorrow, so it's not them, it's me! Thank you though, I appreciate your warrior spirit.

Kiki

[randomactsofkarmasc]

I will pray for Kiki and for you. Take care.

I'm sorry for your loss! You and Kiki have my prayers as well.

Thank you.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry to hear about Kiki.

[kimberlysteele]

Yes, it's been really tough. I'm ending it for her before the only kind of day she has is a bad one, and she's close to that.

My condolences for Kiki.

[kimberlysteele]

Thank you.

[jpc_w]

My condolences. Losing a pet is hard.

[kimberlysteele]

Thank you, yes, it is quite the crucible!

[cutekitten]

How’s she doing today?

[cutekitten]

If you’re still upset don’t hesitate to postpone on this coming Monday also. Losing a good pet is like losing a person. I doubt anyone would expect you to concentrate on Ogham after losing a relative. Most people have lost a good pet, I bet most readers will be willing to wait.

There ARE good things about this century. I’m using one right now. Another is you can be fairly open about mourning a pet. I imagine many of us have been distressed when we accidentally came upon a man weeping over his dead dog, thus embarrassing the poor guy. These days that guy could state openly that he was upset because his dog died and no one would laugh at him or think he was crazy or unmanly. In another 20 years, maybe a man will be able to cry in public about the loss of a fine pet.
