I've got one cat left, and when she's gone, I'm done being a pet owner.

I know. I have a dog which I got from a rescue centre (he had been a stray) who is 10 years old and he has been with me more or less 24/7 for most of his life. I can't even begin to think about him not being here.

I usually have cats but lost my last one when he was 17 years old. I managed to deal with that ok as I just thought to myself what a long and happy life he had. When they die prematurely of illness though ................................

I've moved on to tropical fish now.

I am sure you know about the rise in bullying and and teen suicide here in the States mostly in the Mid West. I am not sure if you guys know what I used to do for work or what I do now...

Ben Cohen is a Rugby player from the UK. He is tall strong and a record holding player for his sport.

I found him by accident when researching for a story about the US sh*t slinging politicians and their gay fetish...(so Michele Bachmann watched as she had us gay folks all into cages...) the rise in hate crimes and greed and gunholders bring weapons to a tea party in the town hall because a Dem like me will steal them away etc

My writing here is not perfect as most is done via phone...and I like a conversational style. We don't speak like an article in a paper...anyway...I came across a youtube video of this man sending a message to gay teens here in the US after several reported cases pf young people killing themselves because of the pain and fear. It was him and his webcam unshaven no frills no prepared speech...coking with tears at times he spoke about everyone has the righted to love. Gay bi straight...please seek an adult, your mom, a doctor...even if its a stranger...etc

So, my heart broke. Todays kids are a lot more cruel I think. There are rap songs about faggots being killed...murder. violence is so accessible to the impressionable minds of the youth. They are too wise too young. Often kids have minimal supervision and its not the parents fault...nobody can afford kids cars homes provisions food medical insurance taxes...etc....in what is as todays economy. There are greedy hoarding illegal criminals that we pay for their posh life. The poor and middle class are overworked poverty level people. Hard working people with families to support feed...and love. Very non frills...like No Disney trips. I saw it in action working for a major airline. They will give away the reserved seats of a family that worked since before the kids birth to save enough for a 5 day vacation to Disney connecting thru 3 stops before Orlando/Disney...and they are lied to saying the plane or the configuration of this aircraft and seating has changed...you are being put on a standby list and we will try to get you there...the kids eyes are so sad...but the excitement and eyes shiny with pride for this moment change in the parents...mostly the Dads. I am on a leave from there for my freelance and working as a guest on my best friends show. So, now there is a slew of it gets better videos for the bullied suicidal kids. It it pretty much started with a guy in the UK with 2 daughters and lovely wife. He is humble. He has a Huuuuuuge Gay fanbase and he totally lives it...he flirts with them and often does photos in his mighty whites that are sold to support causes like HIV AIDS funding for research and protection and nourishment and homes for people in this category...and others.

My friend and I did ours...and its there on video sights like youtube and

I know. After my Mom passed away(then I had no one to watch him - and I would never kennel him), I planned every vacation around pet friendly hotels, locations, etc... What a pain! But he was my child. I spent 15K on his cancer treatments, and while I don't regret a penny, I just don't want to go through that again.

After this cat, that's it....

We got round the holiday problem by buying a huge 8 man tent for just the two of us and the dog. He adores camping. When he sees us packing the car he jumps ready to go.

I just stayed wherever there was a Red Roof Inn, or Motel 6(same company owns both, and they're all pet friendly). Still, it was a huge pain in the butt....

My Cat just walked across the bed from his "napping spot" and gave me a kiss (nose to nose) before walking casually back to his area. I love my Salem. He's such a sweetheart.

D'awww ♥ Does he ever adjust himself under your hand so you're scratching the bit he wants? Max is doing that now so I'm typing with one hand and Shih Tzu scratching with the other

Aww! Bless Max! He does adjust himself for maximum enjoyment. He loves to be scratched on his jawline, I've noticed. Especially underneath his ears. And he's very forthright when he's had enough, usually by biting you before walking away as though he's offended.

I just love cats haha. They'll never forget their ancestry!

On a JTIS note. Don't you hate it when, even though you have no chance because she lives in another country, the girl you think is cute and has a lot in common with you gets a girlfriend and you can't help but feel a little bit crummy because of it. Oh that's just me? Ok.

So, I just hope we all do a little extra for someone that wants nothing but the same as you have...I am partnered with my guy for 8 or 9 years....gay bullying affected so many and I wasn't aware of homosexual tendencies in myself until my mid 20s.

Hey, its bad enough to go through puberty and the opening of Pandora Box of sexual attraction, persuasion, and just plain horny teens...but, if you find yourself getting totally crazy over another dude...you think you're short circuiting let alone the sudden danger, fear, abuse and humiliation for that part of you that you can't control. So, the story I worked on and my nemesis is Michele Bachmann...her cruelty and her and her husbands gay agenda...or gay fetish. I am not going to get up into pages of her lies and crimes. This quote made by Michele Bachmann should sum her up..."and Melissa Etheridge has cancer now. That's too bad. But, this is a time for her to reflect on her sinful lifestyle and sinful ways...and she should thank God for giving her this chance..."
The highest gay/bully suicide rate among teens is ironically in the district she represents. She has been called upon to help remedy this situation. Her response was well, what are we going to do...hold their hands? What about after graduation? Hold their hands? So, she like Scott Brown didn't participate in any causes for the civil rights of the Constitutionally protected equality...just as they, the elected officials are protected by. Shame on them. You know, it was only the 1940s that People were burned alive in world war 2. We never learn...us, the most evolved and blessed as human beings.

Finally, the guy that I find so...ahem, attractive. Yeah, attractive (yeah, right...try lust) Mr Ben Cohen. The most loving hero of late.

I would like to hear more about this. As a gay man myself I can tell you that I was quite aware that I was from a very young age. I can't even imagine that you walked around completely convinced you were str8 until your mid 20's. What was it that made you realize the truth?
