Day 10 of a birthday month I no longer feel like celebrating.

Tonight, we lost our little girl cat Tipu. An undetected illness took her from us. Her little body swelled up and a few hours later at the vet, it was discovered that she had a ruptured tumor on her liver. Our only choice was to say our goodbyes. A rare Dragon Li breed, Tipu was rescued by Mr. Io from a breeder in China who planned to have Tipu put down because she was blind. Love at first sight compelled Mr. Io to arrange her rescue and have her flown to Northern Ireland. She was dying, battered, and close to death from starvation. Mr. Io has some, let's say 'diplomatic military influence.' Nursed back to health Tipu gave us close to ten years of purring sweetness and unconditional love. It never mattered that Tipu was blind; she saw with her soul. She saw how much she was loved, and is loved still. I am beyond broken at loosing her. Mr. Io is just shattered. He has lost his little girl. I have lost my baby. Loved beyond belief, we are both devastated. But also grateful to Tipu for allowing us to be her cat guardians. Who will tuck her in tonight, as I did every night? Perhaps they have angels for this sort of thing?

Please spare Tipu a kind thought tonight. I am bowing out for a while. May Bast protect.

I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved Tipu
It hurts immensely and unfortunately I know this pain too well.

Tonight Tipu will be tucked in by all pet angels we lost, into a bed of white fluffy clouds.

May she go peacefully into the other side

May she find no cause to linger, but in joy reunite with the great divine.

May love and peace elevate her soul.



Hugs ❤ and my condolences to you and Mr Iolair. What a beautiful darling. May Bast tuck her in at night and hunt by her side.

My takeaway from the video,

Snorts wasn't in it much except for his smarmy face at the chapel door, he’s terrified of Potts.

Stephanie excused explained her trip to Scotland. Lies all lies.

Fanny and Potts snuck away for some alone time.

Mummy is a fool, but if she drops of the perch it’s her own fault. What was the lie at the beginning about her having antibiotics then at the end Percy said she won’t go to the drs.

Shes sold a 1000 cards so $20000 already what a joke.

The Xmas cards for Patreon are only for the high spenders, she’s an hole, how much do the cards cost ffs.

Anyway I’ll repeat it again because it can’t be said enough, they are all absolute garbage .

 

[OhIDontKnow...]

So Scotland and the Orient Express at the end of the “season”. When is that anyways? Does she like to freeze the final guests of the year?

I don’t know why she thinks a belt makes anything look better on her, she doesn’t have any hips. I wonder what her aversion to pants is?

I can’t believe she’s actually finally selling tangible merchandise (even though it’s kind of crappy). Maybe she will get a clue that she can at the very least have something made, get paid for it, and mail it out. She’s missed out on so much money not doing it before her channel dries up. I guess when it’s handed to you it kills the entrepreneurial spirit. Nutti could earn her keep mailing it out. Branded tote bags, notebooks, stationery, pens, mugs, etc all could be sold and actually used by the inhabitants and guests of the b&b. She’s such an idiot.

Has this legislation been passed and going into effect in France? Pertinent portions of article linked below.


Here is the French language version of proposed legislation.Draft law to combat scams and abuses of influencers on social networks, No. 790, tabled on Tuesday, January 31, 2023.

https://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/dyn/16/textes/l16b0790_proposition-loi.pdf

Here is link to information report filed in March, 2024

Rapport d'information, n° 2339

www.assemblee-nationale.fr

“A person may face up to two years in prison and a fine of €300,000 if they fail to follow the proposed new rules, which seek to crack down on social media fraud and scams”

France is finalizing a law that seeks to regulate the commercial activities of influencers and protect consumers from possible fraud or scams. The regulation, which has already been approved by the National Assembly and the Senate, prohibits promoting cosmetic surgery and subscriptions to sports betting applications. It also forces influencers to state whether they have been paid to promote a product, if images have been retouched or if a person’s figure or face have been created with the help of artificial intelligence. If a person breaks the rules, they may face up to two years in prison, a €300,000 ($320,000) fine and be banned from carrying out commercial activities on social media.

The legislation — which has been prepared by lawmakers from both the government and opposition parties — seeks to place safeguards on the fast-growing sector. Influencers reach millions of followers, who are encouraged to consume a range of content, from beauty and travel tips to recommendations to invest in stock and cryptocurrencies. The supporters of the bill warn that this new digital marketing — based on a “falsely intimate” relationships with consumers — has led to abusive advertising practices.

Filter warnings and ban on wild animals
The proposed law builds on current French legislation that strictly regulates the advertising of products such as tobacco or alcohol. While the current law requires transparency in advertising, the new bill would require influencers to include a banner indicating that a post has been sponsored.

Influencers will also have to indicate whether filters have been used. An amendment, added in the Senate, also requires social media users to state whether a figure or face have been created with AI. Vojetta hopes these rules will prevent young people from “being dominated by unrealistic body representations.”

15 agents to control infractions
The proposed law also puts more responsibility on platforms, which must have tools to report illegal content and act if necessary, by taking measures such as closing accounts and moderating content.

Starting in September, a department of the Ministry of Economy will also be in charge of monitoring social networks and responding to complaints. Initially, the team will be made up of 15 agents. Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire announced on May 3 that the department had already stepped up its controls. Some 60% of the 50 influencers reviewed in the first quarter of 2023 had committed violations, he said.

Now all that remains is to define the final text of the bill, which has already been voted on by the National Assembly and the Senate. Lawmakers hope that it will be enacted before the summer and that it will protect both consumers, mostly young people, and influencers. Authorities estimate that there are around 150,000 influencers in France, but only a minority use abusive practices or carry out scams.

Standing in the chapel doorway, that doofus looked like a hotel porter greeting guests.

IMHO, Isabelle Jarvis is one horrible human being, assuming as true the comments to the tattle chapel video below. IMHO, the mother and daughter Jarvis duo are selfish scammers, with their fake watery eyes, screeching Ave Maria, Isabelle pretending to be a devout Catholic, and acting up a storm in the chapel to get pensioners to send them hundreds of thousands of euros to spend upon themselves. I only hope that one day both Isabelle and Stephanie end up in nursing care centers receiving the exact level of concern, care, and treatment that the Jarvis family provided to their residents.

My mother was a devout catholic, trusted to the care of Isabelle Jarvis' "facility". When her death announced itself, we naturally asked for a priest to take care of her Viaticum. Our request was denied, because it "interfered" with their schedule. I think that says it all, doesn't it?


@jbr7300

Oh Olivia…that is just lower than low. I have experience with nursing home facilities with aging family members and never have I heard of such a request denied, nor should it ever be. That is one of the most frequent requests of the dying. To deny a human right at their time of death is about as low as one can go. I didn’t think your account of your experience with the Jarvis family could get any worse. It just did

. Absolutely diabolically mean.


@oliviacarter-b9u

@jbr7300 Thank you, yes, it was absolutely horrible. Obviously, later on when we had scheduled a meeting to talk about all that had gone wrong, Isabelle Jarvis denied it. She implied we should have insisted more strongly to show we truly meant it, that it was important enough for them to adjust their schedule. My brother was furious and so was I. Show we meant it? As if it was just a silly question, a minor detail. I could have slapped that woman in the face. But what good would that do? By then, my mother had died.

Viaticum - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Viaticum is a term used – especially in the Catholic Church – for the Eucharist(also called Holy Communion), administered, with or without Anointing of the Sick (also called Extreme Unction), to a person who is dying; viaticum is thus a part of the Last Rites.

So painful…but now I feel so good ❤

I had a cervical spine fusion ((c5 c6) six weeks ago today at Mayo Clinic. After a car accident 4 years ago, I’ve had disc and nerve damage in my neck, and pain that radiates down my arm, upper back, and shoulder. Crossing my fingers this surgery helps with the pain…just need time to heal. ❤

Hoping you make a full & speedy recovery

Is Fanny and her bag carrier already aboard the most expensive train in Scotland? Cabins costing £ 6400 ++ for three nights?
Ms Jarvis is all demure working..in another little office space in the attic posting pop up cards. She's spent the revenue already.
