I'm sorry, Joey. I grew up with a menagerie - dogs and cats and horses and goats and whatever else you can think of. My father taught us that we were responsible not only for their lives but also for their deaths in the sense that were must make sure there was no suffering at the end for them. He was not a religious man but he took the biblical message that humans were stewards to the animals very seriously. I have fostered special needs animals for most of my adult life and I have had to make that decision many times. I wish I could tell you it gets easier as time goes by, but it doesn't. Every animal I have lost has left a mark on my heart. What I can tell you is this: all life is finite, and to have something that loves us unconditionally during that life is a gift beyond value. We speak about the unconditional love our pets give us, but we don't always recognize how much we love them and what that teaches us. We should, because that love is infinite.

This untimely death didn't stop her appearing on the 1992 Deathlist, however!

Liz Dawn came back home too....

World Cup without Messi and Ronaldo? All for it tbh.

"There is some motive or message here." I'm going with "Dude Wanted to kill a shitload of people".

No. There's only one issue. In the United States, it is absurdly easy to obtain firearms legally or illegally, and to also obtain mechanisms that increase a firearm's lethality legally or illegally. We are willing to place limits around every right we have from buying fertilizer in bulk to not wearing our shoes across a dirty airport floor to hollering "fire" in a crowded theater - except one. A right that is linked to militia service which 99% of civilian firearms holders will never see. Written with an eye to 18th century weaponry - hardly AR-15s and semi-automatic handguns subsequently made automatic. As Bishop Dan Edwards stated, as Americans we have no constitutional right to food or medical care but we are fanatically jealous of our capacity to kill, because this is what makes us matter. I can kill, therefore I am. Not a flattering opinion of Americans, but I believe he is correct. There is no other reason for us to hang on to pieces of metal that have one reason for existence - death. When poll after poll from multiple polling organizations across the political spectrum reveal that Americans want at least small changes to gun laws - the ability to stop people with psychiatric diagnoses from getting guns, closing the internet and guns show loopholes, make gun laws standard across the country because this patchwork method doesn't work - Congress won't act because the NRA opposes even these small compromises. Americans understand it won't stop all tragedies, but it can't hurt. I know that if 20 first graders being executed in cold blood in their classrooms doesn't change anything, the chances of Las Vegas making a difference are slim. There seems to be unlimited "thoughts and prayers" out there and precious little stomach for taking the hard stance that might make some small difference. Somehow or another I don't think our deified founding fathers - who are always pulled out and dusted off when the second amendment is challenged - quite envisioned dead children or concert goers being picked off like fish in a barrel in their "intentions" in composing the Bill of Rights in 1789.

What's your opinion on Newcastle ?

"If'

Von Anhalt is running for California governor again: http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-updates-yes-dahlink-frederic-prinz-von-1505864735-htmlstory.html

I only used it for the joke. You know, triggered, and the guy got shot. Ah well, it was funnier in my head.

Only Kirk. Anne is 98 years old.

When it comes to letting them go, there's a wise saying "Better a week too soon than a day too late". The last time I went through this, two years ago, my vet friend said, "When the day comes, you'll know." And I did.

I'll call your Hitler with Churchill, and you'll fold Saville to my Tony Blair.

Unfortunately she lost the ability to walk at all today while I was at school. My parents wanted to let her finish her journey at home, but she started whimpering in pain later in the day. So, unfortunately, they had to do the hardest thing for any pet owner to face: they put her down today. In many ways, it's a part of my childhood lost, I remember being around her when I was young, and regret not being around her when I got older as I got involved in more activities. But I knew it needed to be done very soon.

Heeey now! be cool, they're centenarians. Also, when was the last time we saw a hundred-something sporting a full head of manly mane? Kirk's a genetic freak.

I swear you're a wannabe RobertMugabe.

So looking at that picture you'd think there's a wind machine right next to the camera blasting a 40mph gale into their faces. How come the furniture isn't flying everywhere in the background?

Three questions: 1- Are you Nigerian? 2- Are you a prince? 2- Did you scam any European grandmas into sending you their "monies" lately?
