In two hours I have to say goodbye to this sweet, gentle soul. I can barely breathe. I don’t know how I’m going to get through it. He is in total kidney failure and there’s nothing that can be done.
My heart is breaking.
Yesterday was an awful day.
Our nine year old Greyhound, Lucas, died very suddenly in the early morning, shortly after we all woke up. We suspect it was a stroke. The suddenness was unbearable.
We will miss him forever.
Dean and I are gutted.
Our beautiful Libby died this morning.
She left this earth in the exact spot, in my office, where she was born 14 years ago.
We will miss you so much, sweet girl.

Fuck these people who pontificate that HRC should disappear from public life. She is, and always will be, a force to reckon with.
49 years ago, on July 5, I met the man I’d spend my life with. I was just 19 and it was the day after his 20th birthday. He was tall with long, wavy hair and I was smitten pretty much instantly. We rarely take pics together, but here we are on our 43rd and 27th anniversaries.
Today Dean and I celebrate our 48th anniversary. This is one of my favorite pics of us, taken on our 11th anniversary, with our Shetland Sheepdog, Casey.
Casey loved paddle boating with us and was the best boy. ❤️

There is zero evidence he was anywhere near ground zero, at any time during the recovery efforts. But you know who WAS there???
@RyRysYerGuy
I was walking around, holding hands with my male best friend and having teachers tell us we should stop doing it.* We would pretend we were on vacation in Norway.
*One very obviously gay fifth grade teacher told us we HAD to stop holding hands or there would be CONSEQUENCES!

Then he shouldn’t have been there. This administration doesn’t give a damn about protocol and they are ones who are dangerous.
I am totally overwhelmed by the outpouring of sympathy and support on yesterday’s tweet about our dog, Cyrus.
Thank you to all who commented. There is no way I can acknowledge each of your posts, but please know that they touched my heart and I am extremely thankful.
Forty three years ago today, at 5:00 pm, I met a guy with long, curly, brown hair, who had a fantastic tan and a hairy chest. I kept looking at him all night. Little did I know, I’d spend the rest of my life with him.

The attorney will file an appeal immediately. He may get denied again, so appeal that determination, too. The last step is disability court. If you get to that stage it’s likely he’ll be approved. Good luck.

John-we are no longer playing by the old rules. We are literally in a fight for our country and trying to maintain a polite society during this period is impossible. McConnell has done more to destroy this country than any other individual. He deserves such shaming.
@SGUYBRAY
We share that weariness, Stephen. I think as I get older, I have even greater anger and resentment at the politicians of that era. We were denied the opportunity to grow old with our friends. Williamson represents that time, to me.

This thread reinforces my belief that people should be required to obtain a license before they are allowed to procreate. Jules’ ignorance is astounding.

Well, your premise is ridiculous. As teens get older they earn levels of responsibility incrementally, until they reach adulthood. The MSD students are the most impressive, articulate, well-reasoned young adults I’ve ever encountered. Must more so than the adults who oppose them.
My mother is now in hospice. End stage COPD is a horrible thing to witness. I deeply regret that I ever smoked and wish I had quit years before I finally did.
At my age, I’m incredibly lucky to still have had my mom alive and I’m can’t imagine life without her. I’m heartbroken.
Cy. The absolute best boy imaginable. His goal each day was to be a good boy and he always exceeded this goal. Today we received the unbelievably sad news that Cy’s kidney are failing and there’s no treatment that will save him.
So, while we still have him we will cherish him.
My baby, Crosby, isn’t well. He has had bloody diarrhea and is vomiting frequently. We spent most of the afternoon at the vets and still don’t know exactly what’s wrong. If you could send some positive thoughts and good juju his way, I’d appreciate it.

The most telling thing in the entire video was that the cop was shaking, either from fear or adrenaline overdose. Either way, the cop was dangerous.
After my stepfather died in 2015, my mom asked me to call her every morning to make sure she was “still alive.” Each and every day, for seven years, we chatted at 10am. She died three weeks ago, and my instinct is still to call her every morning.
It’s like a daily dagger.
No child, regardless of their age, is prepared to help a parent through the end of their life. My 91 year old mother is failing fairly rapidly and while I’m doing all I can, it feels so insufficient. I’m gutted.

Cyrus raced in Birmingham Alabama. He retired early and was 2 1/2 when we adopted him. We have one other Greyhound, Lucas, who flunked out of racing school and he was just a year old when we got him.
I choked during dinner tonight…on meatloaf. I honestly thought “this was how I am going out” and was embarrassed that ground meat was going to be my cause of death.
This happened to someone who conquered their gag reflex over forty years ago….
Crosby and I are boycotting today. We refuse to leave our comfy bed and face another day of isolation. We’re going to watch old movies on TCM and gossip.
My 92 year old mother received a rather dire medical diagnosis this past week. Her first comment to the doctor was:
“I’d better be here long enough to vote against Trump.”
That’s my mama. ❤️
@MyDailyMagazin1
This article is absolute crap. I’ve adopted two greyhounds, and they are the biggest couch potatoes I have ever encountered. Once they retired and discovered couches, there was no looking back. They enjoy one sprint around the backyard daily, and run back to the couch.
Six years ago on this date, I smoked my last cigarette. I started smoking far too young and was ready to kick my addiction. After many previous attempts at quitting, I was finally successful. I’m still pretty proud that I did it.

Exactly what is the gay lifestyle?
I’m gay. Today I had some lab work done, then I vacuumed my house. A while later I stopped at the grocery store for mayonnaise and now I’m making a cold tuna saladto serve with hot French bread.
Do these activities count as lifestyle?
@kellyjmccracken
Oh damn, yes. During the past two years I’ve noticed many changes in my appearance. I didn’t age gradually, it happened quickly and I’m trying to adjust to this new me.
@RussellFalcon
When I was nineteen , my boyfriend needed a place to live. I moved him into my bedroom, in my mother’s home, prompting her to ask me if we “were more than friends.” Forty three years later we are still together and taking care of my now ninety year mother.
After a year of lockdown in her assisted living facility, and two COVID vaccinations, we were finally able to get my almost 93 y/o mom back to her beautician. She hasn’t been this happy in months. ❤️

Like is a stretch, but the vid of her shooing away trump's hand has made my day. I've watched it at least a dozen times.
