I got emotional when I watched a TV show called "Time of death", it follows the last days or months of someone who's terminal. I got emotional as the mom gave her speech in which she expressed how horrible it was to see her son rapidly deteriorate from cancer, and fade away.

It also made me think about my childhood dog, Katie. She ended up getting sicker and sicker as her pancreas started shutting down and she could hardly walk down the stairs. She was my dog from 2007-2020. As previously mentioned, I never fit in, anywhere, Katie was my everything.

I was closer to her than most people are with their siblings, I hated being away from her, and she always howled, cried out and desperately lunged at me every time I left for school. She'd wait by the window for me, jump up, wagging her tail, and as I come in, there was a love seat by the door She'd run up, stand on, and lick me. She'd put her two paws on my shoulders to do it.

When I had surgery and was in the hospital, she refused to leave my room, even to use the bathroom and when I came back, she always cuddled so close to me and I'd always hold her close. Seeing her condition worsen and her strength fade was so hard. I'd have to carry her up and down the stairs, she'd be scared to try to walk down them.

Then I'd have to bring food up to her, her worry and sorrow always on her face as I desperately tried to comfort her. Then the day came, I remember how even in her last moments, she looked up and licked me as i told her how much I loved her, and how I'd never forget her.

I see now that although I have dogs now and love them, Katie's death burned the deepest hole in my heart.

I'm not ashamed to admit that my eyes are quite wet as I write this, and I sobbed as I looked at this photo taken days before her death. Seeing her nose, her eyes, I really loved her. To Katie, I will always remember you, thank you for loving me, thank you for staying with me, and thank you for being my dog❤️

Yep, I knew 4.4% was a big lie. I actually don't have my head up my butt. I can see what is happening. I don't wish numbers , I react to bad numbers. Inflation up as well. People losing jobs are not able to replace those jobs. Wait until next month when job numbers are split in half.

Costs will be coming down and you can thank Supreme Court for lower food prices , not Trump. Of course Trump ass wipes will give Trump credit for lower food prices.

The Supremes saved the country today and the American consumer and Companies , ruling Trump's Tariffs were unlawful against other countries.

The US Agencies including the defence department are to begin the process of identifying and releasing the government X-Files on Extraterrestrial life and Aliens.

In the past the US government have been accused of withholding this information.

Are you prepared to find out the truth?

I'm with a Cat Charity and I like to give our calendars out to friends to advertise our Charity.

I also like calendars, and I have calendars hung up on nearly all the rooms in my home, they are like pictures that I change every year.

Obviously I have cats calendars, but I also like to buy scenic, sporting, astronomy, flowers, almost every subject I'm interested or involved in, except cycling, I don't seem to be able to buy a cycling calendar.

I also have A5 size calendars that are handy to mark special days of the year, or I can quickly use to find out the days of the week in later months of the year.

Do you have my passion for calendars, and if so what type of calendars do you like to buy or be given, and where do you put them in your home?

Many have a strongly-held belief (like myself) that marriage is only between a man and a woman.

My state is passing a bill that will allow private citizens and private organizations to not recognize gay marriage.

Remember the constitution limits GOVERNMENT sanctions and responsibilities, it does not always apply to the individual. While the government itself may be required to recognize gay marriages, the individual shall not be required to do the same.

A Christian cake baker shall be allowed to refuse to bake a wedding cake for a gay wedding. A website developer should be able to refuse making a website for a gay wedding if it goes against their deeply held religious beliefs.

A faith-based organization may have an event for married couples and may want to exclude gay couples. That should be their decision to make!

A marriage counselor shall be able to deny services to a gay couple if it goes against their faith.

Gay rights shall never supercede religious liberty!
