TED ALLEN: What do you mean an “organized murder” has moved into your neighborhood?’
JOSEPHINE: It is true! Camille the crow and her organized crow crime family has moved in and…
TED ALLEN: Oh, you mean a “murder” as in a group of crows. You really shouldn’t describe it as a “murder” you know. It makes things sound really bad.
JOSEPHINE: But things are bad! Very bad! We need APPETITE’s help. You would not happen to have an automated ship primed and ready to head out to a far away destination, by chance, would you?
TED ALLEN: No!
JOSEPHINE: Blast! So much for Agent Yodie’s calculations.
TED ALLEN: So what, exactly, has this Camille done that’s so bad?
JOSEPHINE: Well, … she was mean to Ricardo several years ago!
TED ALLEN: That’s it? How does that make her group an organized crime family?
JOSEPHINE: Well, Ricardo said they are bullies and demand tributes, especially from smaller animals. We cannot abide bullies in its neighborhood!
TED ALLEN: So that’s Ricardo’s side of the story. What does Camille have to say?
JOSEPHINE:
TED ALLEN: You’re wanting to put her on an automated ship into space and you haven’t even spoken with her? That’s not right.
JOSEPHINE:
TED ALLEN: What if Ricardo has an agenda? Don’t you think fairness requires talking to all parties before off-world relocation options are considered?
JOSEPHINE: You think Ricardo has an agenda?

To be continued?

Does Ricardo have an agenda? Is Camille as bad as he claims her to be? What are your thoughts? Let us know and stay tuned.

JOSEPHINE: Good morning Mr. Allen. Thank you for taking my zoom meeting.
TED ALLEN: Good morning, Josephine. How have you been?
JOSEPHINE: Very busy, Mr. Allen.
TED ALLEN: You really can call me Ted, Josephine.
JOSEPHINE: That is kind of you, Mr. Allen.
TED ALLEN: Okay…
JOSEPHINE: So the reason I asked for this meeting was in the hope that you and APPETITE might be able to help me and my organization with a local problem.
TED ALLEN: What kind of problem are you having?
JOSEPHINE: Well, we have had an organized crime family movie into the neighborhood, and that is just not acceptable.
TED ALLEN: The Mafia has moved into your neighborhood? Why would they even want to do that?
JOSEPHINE: It is worse than the Mafia!
TED ALLEN: What’s worse than the Mafia?
JOSEPHINE: An organized murder!

To be continued….

Who here is betting that Mr. Ted Allen is a bit confused at the moment? Do you think he and APPETITE will be able to help Josephine with Camille? Let us know in the comments.

UPDATED: Monday: WE PASSED OUR $500 FUNDRAISING GOAL!

Thank you everyone who has donated. Everyone who has donated will receive a free subscription to the next JtQC short story. On Sunday September 13 I will draw for two 2027 JtQC calendars, one very exclusive JtQC mug and a $25 gift certificate for the holiday sale (upcoming on October). Please feel free to donate via link below to continue to help us help local high schoolers stay in school through graduation. Every dollar helps so much.

WE’VE PASSED OUR INITIAL FUNDRAISING GOAL!

We’re almost at $400 already! Can we get to $500? I think we can!

Because we’ve reached our initial goal, I will be doing a random draw for two JtQC 2027 calendar, and a very exclusive mug. If we reach $500, I will draw a random winner who will receive a $25 gift certificate for the JtQC holiday sale (date to be announced). The fundraiser will go through September 12 so there’s lots of time to help us reach our goal!

Thanks to everyone who have donated so far. We appreciate it. -Diane & Josephine

JTQC FUNDRAISER FOR EDUCATE YOUTH

Okay, people, I jump out of airplanes for fun, but now I’m going over the edge of an 11-story building for charity and we need your help.

Educate Youth is an education non-profit located in JtQCHQ’s home town and is dedicated to keeping high school kids in high school. Government grants and funding have pretty much gone away so this amazing organization needs help.

On Saturday, September 12, I’ll be rappelling off of the Hill Hall building on the Eastern Michigan University campus. I’ve set our team fundraising goal at $350. IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLY ABLE TO DO SO, we would very much appreciate a donation.

Of course Josephine has authorized incentives and thank you gifts. Everyone who donates at least $11 will receive a free subscription to the next JtQC short story (being written as we speak). That’s a $5 value. EVERYONE who donates will be entered into a random drawing, the winner of which will receive a free 2027 JtQC calendar later this year. If we reach $200 in donations I will draw for a second free calendar winner. If we reach our $350 goal, I will draw for a very exclusive JtQC mug.

Click the link below to donate. If you are in the U.S., please remember to get your tax receipt.

I will try to go live on the day, but at the very least video will be posted at a later time.

As always, thank you for helping us help others. -Diane & Josephine

JTQCHQ is still experiencing significant severe weather and is still without power. But, like the boss she is, Josephine doesn’t let either deter her from her necessary beauty regime. (Video from Thursday afternoon)

If you’re in the line of this storm system, stay safe. Heed weather alerts and seek shelter when directed. We can’t afford to lose any more followers then we already have. Xoxo Diane & Josephine

Behold the belly floof. You don’t get this kind of belly access often so please do enjoy.

What excuses should I give Josephine for posting this terribly unauthorized video?

AGENT CHARLOTTE: HS really thinks we should bring Mrs. S. into the situation?
JOSEPHINE: Yes, she does.
AGENT CHARLOTTE: The same Mrs. S. who was more than willing to blow up the neighborhood in order to get rid of a former brother-in-law?
JOSEPHINE: Yes.
AGENT YODIE: “Mrs. S….boom… “
JOSEPHINE: Okay, Agent Yodie. I take back what I said earlier. I do not think voice dictation is the best way to keep your notes. Could you return to the old fashioned pen and paper note taking?
AGENT YODIE: Okay, Josephine. “…Josephine.. meanie…Yodie out.”
JOSEPHINE: Thank you, Agent.
LORD DEATH STAR: So are you going to talk to Mrs. S., Josephine? I walked past her back yard the other day and she was practicing her axe throwing. She’s actually really good. It looks like a lot of fun. I wonder if they have axes in my size?
JOSEPHINE: I am not looking forward to it, and I will only reach out if my conversation with Mr. Ted Allen and APPETITE is not productive. Fingers crossed they have another ship scheduled to automatically head out to some far away destination soon.
LDS: What are the odds of that, do you think?
AGENT YODIE: Actually, the specific odds of APPETITE having another automated space ship ready for launch to a far away destination are 1 in 1.9835 million. So pretty good odds, I’d say.
LDS:
AGENT CHARLOTTE:
JOSEPHINE:
AGENT YODIE: What?
JOSEPHINE: How do you even know that, Agent?
AGENT YODIE: I just did some simple math. Would you like to know the equation?
JOSEPHINE: NO!
AGENT YODIE: NO!
LDS: Sure!
JOSEPHINE: No, you do not, Star!
AGENT YODIE: Bummer. I’ll text the equation to you after the meeting, Star.
LDS: Thanks, Yodie. Are we having snacks at staff meetings now? I’m feeling a little peckish.
JOSEPHINE: No, Star, there are no snacks at today’s meeting.
LDS: Bummer.
JOSEPHINE: All right everyone. Since Star is feeling peckish, I will adjourn our meeting. I will keep you updated on my conversation with Mr. Ted Allen. Staff dismissed.

To be continued….

Has anyone ever wondered how Yodie pulls out these bits of information out of no where? Is there more to Yodie then meets the eye? What do you think Ted Allen will tell Josephine? Stay tuned.

JOSEPHINE: Good morning Agents…oh, hello Lord Death Star. I have not seen you in awhile. How are you?
LDS: Hiya Josephine. Yeah, my humans and I have been RV’ing most of the summer, but we’re back home now.
AFENT CHARLOTTE: I asked Star to join our staff meeting, Josephine. I know you’re planning on giving us an update on plans for dealing with Camille and her organized crow crime family. I thought we might need to bring in additional help for this, so I asked Star to join us for our briefing. He’s been helpful in the past, as you remember.
AGENT YODIE: Hi Star! I’ve gotten your post cards! Thanks.
LDS: Oh, cool, Yodie. I’m glad you like them.
JOSEPHINE: Okay, yes. Let us focus please. I have already forwarded you the update about the advice HS received from her cousin Declan, current head of her Irish crime family. Surprisingly, HS has refused me to take cousin Declan’s excellent advice, as well as refused me to take any hostages, or contact any of our people in the CIA, MI6, the Mossad. ASIS or even the CSIS.
AGENT YODIE: “…or even the CSIS.” Got it.
JOSEPHINE: What are you doing Agent?
AGENT YODIE: I’m trying out dictation to take notes! This should be a much faster way to takes notes.
JOSEPHINE: Okay…good use of technology, Agent. Moving on.
AGENT CHARLOTTE: Wow. How does HS expect us to win this fight if she’s tying our paws like that?!
JOSEPHINE: I agree, Agent. But HS has recommended, and I concur, that we need to contact Mr. Ted Allen and bring in Mrs. S.
LDS:
AGENT CHARLOTTE:
AGENT YODIE: “…and a hush fell over the meeting…”

A hush indeed. Bringing in Mrs. S.-good idea or bad idea?
