Fuck Today (Part 1)

Have you ever seen Children of Men? It deals with this sort of thing and gives this outcome… Rounding up immigrants and shipping them off.

It’s a great, but fucking depressing movie and the last 20 minutes could be triggering if you have PTSD.

Houyhnhnms and Yahoos. Apparently the latter have a voting majority.

I think it would be the Muslims imposed sharia law on the country with the EU illuminati backing them. At least that what I think the “Leave” voter who tweeted that thought it would be.

The UK has quite a class system. It has all those kinds of horses. Guess which one David Cameron was, guess which one he is now!

Can I just say… do not read this novel if you’re at a cabin in the woods far away from civilization where you and your Dad have gone to “get away” for a bit following the death & funeral of your Mother. THAT IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO READ THAT BOOK. kthnxbai

I left my beer in the bottom of my cart when I left the grocery store. :sob:

This is a Fuck Last Week…
We lost another critter – our latest addition, Lucy.

Post your pet or animal pics
She got really ill after a vet visit last Saturday… Vomited up everything, even water, so she spent every day last week a the vets getting IV fluids and getting evaluated for whatever was going on. After blood tests and a barium x-ray series, it looked like multiple issues including pancreatitis and a portion of her intestine that wasn’t working – with those issues plus not eating for 7 days the prognosis wasn’t good. Given her pain, and poor prognosis, we decided to put her to sleep this past Saturday.

The wife vehemently said “No more dogs!” this weekend, but today at lunch she was perusing her favorite rescue group’s website…

We had our last dog (a Labrador) euthanized after poor prognosis for cancer. He was our blue star: only five years on this planet but he celebrated every day of his time here. I was cradling his head when they injected the needle. I’ll never, ever forget the weight I began to feel in my hands in those next few seconds. I broke like glass on stone at that moment.

I’m so sorry. I was there when I lost my pooch, and I’ve missed him every day since. There’s a bond there that’s real and profound.
Take it slow.

Yesterday I noticed that my sweet and delightful pet hedgehog was having a bit of trouble walking. She’d been a little lazy so I’d been extra scrutinizing. This morning she’s worse and is wobbling while standing, which is the symptom of Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. She’s about 2.5 years old which is in the range when the issue tends to appear. Fuck. It’s a genetic issue since there was too much inbreeding when they were first starting breeding in the US. There’s no treatment, just a steadily progressing paralysis. Have to go to the vet to confirm, and my wife’s out of town, so it’s more of a pain to get to the vet, and I’m alone on top of it, and not sure if I want to mention it until she gets back since she’s on the road for a long drive and might be better off not dwelling on it for hours alone in a car. If confirmed, the recommendation is to euthanize since there’s no treatment and it’s a progressive neurodegenerative disease that ends in paralysis. Maybe it’s some kind of injury or something, but things look dismal. I’m dying inside.

I am so very sorry. For what it’s worth, I was on your wife’s side of a somewhat similar situation, and my SO waited to tell me. I think it made it harder on him, but I appreciated being able to make it home safely, then break down in tears where he could hug me.

So many hugs for you. I say don’t tell her until you get the diagnosis. Maybe its just a parasite or ear mites or something treatable… and even if it is the worst you won’t need to act on it that very moment. You’ll be able to take her home and prepare and have time with her and wait for your wife to get home. (This is said as someone who had to call her BF in Peru to tell him about his cat… right before xmas. Make the call after the diagnosis, not before.) And again, so many hugs.

Aw, christ. Not the princess… she’s got a whole country to run and the free world to lead (politely) come November.

I’m so so sorry to hear this and that you’re going through this particular moment alone. Know that lots of internet strangers are there for you in spirit, though, and wish they could be physically by your side to support you.

Sending best wishes and hoping it’s something manageable and not the worst case scenario. America is counting on her!
