Cool affair, I did not thought reading it would be so interesting when I looked at your url!

Actually, I took the title more as a simple statement of fact than apathy, having investigated said list. Again, we thank you from the bottom of our collective furry hearts.

Hahaha!
Please forgive the Generation X apathy in the list title there. I’m still working on it.

Rest assured I only put the most deserving sites in that list.
And I have thoroughly enjoyed the content.

Unless I’m mistaken, RobD is a spammer indeed.

Alas, the link to his profile is actually a forum page with no links except for “Online Stock Trading”.

Well all is not lost…
You’re in the “Doesn’t suck” list on my blog

Yes, I agree. The eighties, and the “leadership” therein, have a lot to answer for. I had almost blanked out disco! Ye Gods and Little Fishes. Being a bear and all. That did seem to be a time for a resurgence of Greed and Nothing But. The worst aspects of human nature elevated to respectability. Yeugh.
Taking all that into consideration, I really did find your R.I.P. post helpful, and lately, help is Most Appreciated. I saw a dog with a tulle ribbon and feather collar on yesterday: She’d been a flower girl at a wedding. That also gave me hope.
Now, since today is the Partner’s Birthday, on to bake something Suitable for The Situation before it gets too darned hot. I’m holding Hopeful Thoughts for the Dr.

Thank ye for the kind mention!

I think all this started in the 70’s. All that pharmaceutical nonsense being pumped through every vein, all that terrible disco and all the Wall Street hype of “money now, conscience later“, combined to create the perfect poop storm of arrogance and self-worship.

People who were kids or young adults back then, got the worst examples when it came to molding their character. And we’re all paying the price now.

I hope you’ll have better news on the Partner soon. Maybe there’s still some skill left in the medical industry to solve this dilemma.

This is quite true, the earthly immortality. Plus the DNA we carry around from each other, memories in the immune system as well as the heart and brain, as it were. So nothing ever really ends, in a way. It transmutes, perhaps, but it is always “here”. I am sorry about your Dad. Tearing into ice cream cartons is a good sign, usually.

It has taken me many years to realize Just How Disturbing The Appearance of a Bear Can Be. People can be so……what’s the word? Ahem. But, as an ambassador for bear detente, I keep trying. What else is there, really?

It’s true. Never underestimate the severity of man’s inhumanity toward man.

As a bear, you already know how touchy people are when one of you wanders onto a back yard. Well it’s sometimes the same or worse with humans (bears usually get relocated these days after being greeted with a tranquilizer instead of hot lead).

My dad passed away March of ‘03.
Something occured to me that I, regrettably, didn’t realise until a couple of years afterward. People attain a sort of immortality as long as you remember them. A sort of “Earthly afterlife”.

How you die or when you die is irrevelant compared to what you did while you were here. And what you were like in character. Your “Earthly afterlife” will depend on these just as much as the spiritual one if there is one. As long as you’re remembered for these, then you’re not really gone for good.

And speaking of bears, I’m reminded of how he used to tear into ice cream containers. And he snored a lot, which at times did sound like a bear/wookie. The jury’s still out on that one since they’re both pretty hairy (wookies and my dad that is). Or a lawnmower… it sorta depended on what angle his head was at.

As always, Boozilla laughed! Unerring selection of visuals. The picture was Much Appreciated!. I actually had something a bit bigger in mind but the range of this is more appropriate.

Perhaps I should learn how to use the camera on my phone. Ahem. While I’m swishing my spiked tail. I’ve got several nice candid shots of my steering wheel, after all.

Generally it IS better not to get directly involved. But, silly bear, I forget and think that everyone is REASONABLE. Why I would think that is mysterious. Also, the traffic people are off on Sundays, so it would have been a good hour before anybody showed up. They have Important Things To Do, You Know. IMPORTANT. Quite often involving Starbuck’s. But more on the standoff between good and evil later.

And, yes. Death is always hard, although it shouldn’t be I suppose. No surprise, etc. But there is a big empty spot. Hurts.
