who make men into fathers without their permission. My father is only around because my mom legally held him to it. How does this benefit me? —He made his choice

Without their permission? Fathers waive that shit the moment their pants go down. Don’t want to risk kids wrap it the fuck up or keep it locked down.
Huh?
there’s so much wrong here but i’m exhausted.
get a brain op, for your mother’s sake.
The only birth control that is 100% effective is to keep your genitals to yourself.
Sex is how babies are made, so until that changes both parties are equally responsible. Can’t make a baby without sperm!
Unless rape in involved, dad’s responsible for the consequences of his actions.
yeah, i just bet you do.
Not about birth control, it’s about choice. Once she decides to have it and to keep it, she has to live up to HER PERSONAL decision. But all too often, as soon as the going gets tough, they want to drag the fathers down with them. Which is of NO benefit to the kid, btw.
I don’t understand how people can walk away from such a responsibility. The mom’s not asking you to hold on to a grenade. It’s a child! YOUR child. I guess I will never understand how men, and women for that matter can justify it to themselves to just act like the kid doesn’t exist! For the first time in human history has sex and reproduction been so severely separated that people don’t always think of the repercussions … I guess.
The fucking minute that child is out of the womb, it is morally and financially the responsibility of both parents. Otherwise, the douchebag that fucks off deserves to be hunted down and have his/her genitals taken out with a butter knife. In some cases, it is better that the parents don’t stay together, but that should not in any way allow one of the parents to basically “get away with it”. Fuck sakes, you should need a license nowadays to have sex. If you don’t understand the consequences, then keep it zipped
I don’t know why more men don’t get the ol’ ‘snip-snip’ – a buddy of mine had it done at 25 because he didn’t want kids and, now at 55, he’s very happy he made that decision. Plus it can be reversed.
UGH. mamacita: if the guy didn’t want a kid he should’ve either gone with TTFN’s suggestion of the ol’ snip-snip or kept his fucking pants on.
You can’t make a baby without a dick/sperm, guys! FFS.
This post is so sad. I really feel bad for you OP because you feel like your father doesn’t want you. Which means that man actually told you the only reason he is around is because your mother made him take responsibility. I believe that everyone should be accountable for their actions and take responsibility especially when it comes to the joy of bringing another life into this world….but in your case your mother should have let him walk because he’s not bringing any good to your life…he’s making you feel bad about who you are and who your parents are. Don’t blame your mom she did what she thought was best for you. Blame that asshole who isn’t treating and loving you the way you should be.
Ahha the old “pin through the condom” trick. Ever so common in certain areas of HRM (ironically both of which begin with “S”).
Sebastian you’re an idiot.
Even with a condom pin prick: if it’s consentual sex it’s still both parties’ responsibilities because the only 100% birth control is keeping your genitals to youself or only fucking someone of your own gender.
But hay guys, at least we know sebastard probably won’t procreate by accident and beseige the world with his fucktarded spawn. *shrug*
PK…. rawk on.
I found 6 year old fruity flavoured condoms in my bf’s drawers while looking for something else… maybe those would be sebastard appropriate??
I once had a real awkward conversation with my son about birth control… HIS birth control. “Don’t care if she’s taking her pills… don’t come IN her, come ON her” was my advice. Despite my red cheeks, his and our identical wrinkled noses so far so good!
This Bazooka Joe tastes like rubber… and I didn’t get the comic at all. >: (
i don’t know if condoms have an expiration date ralmn^^^
Ha ha, I’m sure they do, and they were appropriately turfed, not before I dissected a few for scientific purposes. They were naaaasty. Ha ha.
Funny story, kay. Pfft. I have some flavoured rubbers if he’s interested.
Condoms definitely have an expiration date.
Kay- unfortunately, the pull out method is not always 100% effective… it can lead to very bad consequences.
purple… add the “pull out” method to a claim of swallowed birth control pills and it works REALLY REALLY well.
I think what the OP means is that the biological father didn’t want to be a part of the child’s life. I think “legally held him to it” means visits etc, not financially, and it sounds like it is more for the benefit of the mother who didn’t want him to get away than for the child having a father. I agree with the OB, from personal experience. My biological father left when I was a baby, and my mom met a great guy a few years later. I’m glad the loser left, because I ended up with a pretty great father! Who knows what I would have had if he had been forced to stick around.
That’s how I see it too NL’s GE. I certainly wouldn’t want a father around who didn’t really want to be around. And the mother forcing the father on the child is only hurting the child. That’s like people who were adopted trying their hardest to find their birth parents who, surprise surprise, want nothing to do with them and the child thinks they’ll be happy to see them or something.
Mel, I think the whole thing with adopted people thinking their birth parents will be ecstatic to see them is largely a by-product of Hollywood, although that kind of thing does occasionally happen. Case in point, my grandmother was apparently raped when she was young and she got pregnant and put the kid up for adoption. Years later, the kid (who I guess is technically my uncle) found her and now they’re quite close.
ala amazing race… until they got booted.
There’s actually promising testing and studies being done to develop new reversable contraception for men. So far it’s looking like an injection, or possibly a pill. I think guys would be down with that, how many guys here would use a male birth control pill or injection if it was available? I’m curious
WORD. My father is nothing more than a sperm donor who makes court ruled child support payments. Since the divorce when I was five, she always ragged on him to do things with me, take me out and engage in my life. I always told her to stop and that he clearly wants nothing to do with me, thus making her actions harder on everyone. Anyways, now 21, he still does fuck all but pay child support. The only time I do see him is when he invites me out for occasions like xmas where he can pretend to be a wonderful father for his side of the family. I swore to myself when I was really young to make sure I was a better father to my kids than he was.
This whole thread is kind of saddening …
My gosh NGF. You’ve gotten a little violent …
snoop,
I guess a question would be….. how do we know if it’s still ‘working’?
Fuck injections… I don’t want to get used to needling myself.
I’d try a pill though assuming it went through the usual, rigorous testing , etc….
definitely not getting snipped … a waste of time/effort/pain that they may have to ‘rebuild the bridge’ later anyways. down the road perhaps.
Here was my talk to my son. “Son do you like money”? “Yes”. “Then keep it in your pants unless you want to lose a quarter of your pay each year”.
The trap isn’t new, I do believe having both mothers and fathers present is important for a child. Though isn’t not a be all end all statement.
I’d like to compare this post to another about abortion. On Oct 6 there were comments like;
“Immature people decide to have sex based on the fact that “everyone else is doing it”…peer pressure….they truly believe that this “boy” likes them…..they’re afraid to say no…..they are drunk and under age…..they are not thinking about what they are getting into…..they’re not mature enough to make this decision. And what about rape victims? What about broken condom situations, failed birth control pill? What about someone being just too damn afraid to be a mother…someone who thought that they were in love with Mr. Right who turned out to be Mr just wanted to get in your pants….or Mr I have no idea when I’m going to grow the fuck up. Life is not in black and white and neither is this subject or any woman who has had to make this difficult decision.”
Very close to the same could be said from a man’s point in life. I do believe men have some of these same emotions and fears. Yet abortion is perfectly valid for these reasons. But after reading some of the comments here we seem to forget men have emotions and lives as well.
And “Besides, consent to sex does not imply consent to pregnancy” Consent to sex does imply consent to fatherhood, but not motherhood.
Biology makes this situation/decision of being a parent unbalanced. And being forced to be a parent is only directed at men. As women can abort.
So what could be done, to rid the trap and create some equilibrium? Here is my sexist, irrational…etc..etc. suggestion. Within the same time frame women have the ability to abort the man has to decide if he’s ready or if the situation is bleak, signoff, saying you will choose to give the child up for adoption (solely to the mother), when the child is born. At this point in time the mother now knows the man’s intentions, and can chart the best course of action. Or maybe the men should decide about adoption at birth?
So what ramifications would come from giving men the right to choose adoption?
When your dad choose not to wear a condom, that was him giving permission to be a parent. He doesn’t HAVE to be in your life if he doesn’t want to.. he can just send money to your mom or waive his rights as your parent. Maybe you should be mad at your DEADBEAT dad and cut your mom some slack.
I second maude’s tag.
as long as you have a handful of nurturing adults. we can give birth but were not always good parents
I completely get what you’re saying B. It’s understandable that men would have the same feeling women would have toward pregnancy etc. but until the playing field is level then men will have to somewhat accept an uneven deal. I kinda cringed typing that because I realize the repercussions.
Ultimately this discussion is pretty simple. An absent father will be absent. No female can force a man to do something he doesn’t want to do.
As I said before I will never ever understand the men/women that just choose to leave their children when they are perfectly capable of helping. Why? How does it hurt you to be a father/mother? I know you didn’t want the child … but the child is here (via a trap or not), you gotta deal. Did the baby put in a request to be here … no.

The pull out method actually works quite well if used properly. However, not something I would recommend to a teenage boy seeing as pregnancy should only be one of two sex based fears. I would think getting an STD as a teenager would be nearly as bad as becoming a parent, especially one of the STDs that never goes away or kills you. Always wear a condom until you are actually planning/trying to make a baby.
well said pav. children are not purses or accessories either…neither are pets
zZz: it’s hard finding a doc who will snip ya before you have kids if you’re young. Even a friend of mine with one kid couldn’t find a doc who would do a vasectomy because he was in his 20s. He and his wife were certain they didn’t want anymore kids, but the doctors were all ” you’re young. what if you change your mind?”
I think it’s a good option if you’re certain you’re not having anymore kids BUT I’ve heard of cases where snipped guys have gotten someone preggers.
I know a girl who got ‘fixed’ in her 20’s. She was adamant about not ever being a mother and it took some convincing but her doctor finally consented. Thirty years later and she doesn’t regret a thing. I applaud her for taking responsibility for not accidently producing something she did not want.
Actually, my family doctor was quite sympathetic and open to the fact that I was looking into a tubal. I had made the appointment and everything – and I was only 24. I’m glad I didn’t now, because 4 years later my life is completely different and I’m in a place where kids would be not totally unwelcome… it’s not THAT hard to find a sympathetic doctor if you’re upfront and certain. My doc was the same one that delivered me, so he was as old fashioned as they get!
But if I had done it, I don’t think I would have had regrets either. It’s just important to know for sure.
Seriously, kids. Wear a condom! They’re cheap (even free if you’re a student), so for pete’s sake, wrap it up.
PK, if it’s reversible, then why would they question snipping any dude, regardless of age?
odd…
I wanted my tubes tied when I was thirteen (while still a virgin) but that was a no go fo sho ;D. I still don’t want kids ever. If I had a dollar for everytime someone insisted “You’ll change your mind!” I wouldn’t be at work right now. And thanks Ocean girly for giving me an example to use when people disagree with me 😛 Although whether they accept “Someone on the internet told me” as a good exmaple or not, we’ll see. I’m aspiring crazy cat lady! =^_^= mau mau
Who knows, zZz. It’s NS — don’t they try to get out of paying for procedures all the time?
LOL melectric: when I started getting my period when I was 12/13 I wanted a hysterectomy because it sucked. Still sucks, but eh. I want babies someday.
Actually come to think of it I got my period when I was ten and I think I asked my mother if I could get my tubes tied :P! Being in elementary school while on your period was the pits!
**Men don’t read this**
melectric: there is a big difference between not being mature enough yet to want kids and knowing that one has absolutely no maternal instincts, as is the case with my friend. Stay true to yourself and do what feels right for you no matter the opinion of others.
Thanks shitloads for the warning Mel – y’know you could’ve put that at the beginning – LOL.^^
Loving the scooshy-faced kitteh, though.
i received my monthly gift at eleven mel. lovin the leotard^^
Yes I saw everyone was changing their pics to their little fur men/women so I couldn’t resist :D. I had a hard time picking one pic…I’ll probably end up changing it a bunch. And thanks Oceanlady :)! If some woman can be ‘born’ in a man’s body or vice versa, I think it’s safe to say some woman can be born without the need to have a child. When I was like 5 I was terrified for a quite some time and my mom asked me why I was crying one day and I said because I didn’t want to have children and she said woman don’t HAVE to have children and my life was great ever since ;D! I thought the same about getting my ears peirced but my mom came to the rescue and told me otherwise again. But, now I have 7 piercings in my ears, one in my tongue and one in my belly button and my mother hates them all :)! Funny how things happen.
me ma confessed to me that she would have been quite happy not having children, she adores us, but was being honest. we have choices peoples…i will attempt to post a kitty pic when i get home, miracles do happen, but i love my ferdinand *snort*
We love Ferdy too, Painuchka. But a pet pic would be kule. >: )
what’s your cats name mel?
I think it should be everyone’s choice to a point like you said Balls (post sounded a little familiar)….we’re all scared and if a woman has a choice at the start maybe a man should as well…..But it should be depending on each individual situation. Grown men should know better! But I think there’s a lot of men out there that are “All-In” at the beginning and then as the times get harder and parenthood doesn’t seem to be as fun as expected they bolt…and they should be held financially liable always.
Also I think being a parent isn’t for everyone…..I don’t think there’s anything wrong with not wanting children.
I wanna post a pic of my kitties, but…they’re sort of hali-famous and I want to kinda keep myself sort of annonymous…aw screw it, I’m posting my gorgeous babies when I get home ^__^
so that’s not your green turtleneck chat?^^
I don’t think.. it’s a lolcat isn’t it?
how the hell are your cats hali-famous?!?!?!?
good question
Nope, not my cat, PG. It’s a cat I got FROM lolcatz!
Thing is…a lot of people I know of read these bitches, and only a SELECT few know who I am…and since I’m very proud of my kitties anyone I’ve ever met would be able to recognize them. They’re a very distinctive pair of pussies!
…is it just me or did that last sentence sound dirty? 🙁
He heh he… Yes, dirty. But oh so innocent, all at the same time.
Lifesucks will be the final arbiter on the moral propriety of your sentence PK. And in hour 2 we’ll be listening to some previously unreleased Miles Davis recordings and Noam Chomsky will be reading from his latest book “Communism Killed 100 Million And All I Got Was This Lousy Che T-Shirt”
Giggity, Giggity. – Giggity, Goo.
you are such a goofster commander…thanks for the larf
We could all use a chuckle this week, je pense. Screeeeeeee!.
Mon gateau est en bateau
Good effort, zZz… ha!
<-- a'ight, here's my boy ^__^ <3
what a purdy pussycat 😀 what’s name?
Kay told her son exactly what she’s been doing for a while. Wonder if she mentioned to not get it in the girls’ hair though.
he is a sweet baby pk. what’s with the tooth donk? did you have a tooth pulled or are you a hobo?^^^
Pretty Kitty. That’s both a declaration AND a proper name.
I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled this morn. It’s ok though, I got the “good drugs” and ice cream! 🙂 not a bad day. Can’t feel my lips, lol.
I might need to go buy a cat now.
He’s gorgeous, PK. Thanks for bringing him to he kitteh partay.
Poor Donk. You’ll be better soon!
The up side Donk, with those “model cheeks” that accentuate your jaw, you’ll look just faboosh 😉
Aww thanks, guys! His name is Oscar! I’ll post his sister sometime!
OMG Donkkkkk. Owie! I got the good drugs (morphine injections ftw) when i got my gallbladder out. mmm. Feel better soon!
ice ice baby…tis true and bags of frozen veg can be substituted. sleep well
Oscar, I like it.
Thanks folks. Lol model cheeks
@ Donk; my kitty’s name is Dexter 😀 Yes after the fictional serial killer
OB, just in case you are still reading your bitch. Lose the hate kid, or you could be lost yourself.
Go talk to a councilor, or someone you trust. What you are feeling isn’t good for you, or anybody else.
Cats ‘eh…I don’t have a cat.
I have a book about cats ~:)
I knew Oscar before he was an LTWWB sensation. He’s still not as cool as Cleo.
Condoms are such a pain to deal with and sooooo uncomfortable! Even most girls admit that it feels way better without a rubber. I can’t wait until they finalize this “male birth control pill.”
Other options to not get pregnant: more butt and oral sex, though it can be a bit tricky trying to convince most women of this.
I knew you were all a bunch of crazy cat ladies with daddy issues! 🙂
q: birth control pills don’t protect against any STDs. I’d rather have sex with a condom and have it not feel “as good” than end up with, oh, say, chlamydia, syph, herpes or HIV.
…but maybe that’s just me 😉
Also: of COURSE oscar isn’t ‘cool’,ngf…part of his charm is his lameness. He’s just a big dumb sweet boy! 😀
Oral is fine, we don’t have a problem with oral. Unless you aren’t hygienic, then it’s disgusting.
Women don’t want to do anal because 1) there’s the gross factor and common misconceptions contributing to it. 2) no one knows how to do it properly, so when women who can get past the grossness actually try it they get hurt and then never want to do it again.
1) I’m not going to list any of the misconceptions because they are all pretty gross, but they aren’t true for the most part. As long as you have good hygiene habits in general and after using the bathroom, and you know… make sure you’re empty before shoving something up your ass, the whole experience is a lot cleaner than people think. And there’s no smell. If you’re really worries just shower together beforehand or something.
2) Just know what the fuck you’re doing before you do it. For the love of God don’t have anal sex with a girl who has never tried it before if it’s just a one time thing, you’ll hurt her and add one more women who is completely shut down to the idea of anal to the world.
You can’t just stick your dick in her ass right away, you need to build up to that. Start with just rimming for a few days, then fingers for a few more, invest in lots of lube, a vibrator, small anal beads, small but-plugs etc. Work your way up to bigger toys. Just make anal part of your regular sex routine WITHOUT sticking your dick in for a few months. Eventually you’ll get there without hurting her or making her extremely uncomfortable (it’s always at least a little uncomfortable though). She actually might like it, or she might still hate it.
Oh and being open to receiving anal yourself can increase the odds of a girl being willing to receive it herself. Who knows, you might actually like it. Most guys who try it do, it’s just that most guys won’t try it. Actually now that I think of it, I’m betting more guys are shut down to the idea of receiving anal than women.
good golly snoopster you’re a nerd and a unique source of info^^
Some girls like anal, some don’t. It happens.
I love reading snoop’s replies also. Still curious if it’s a he or she behind the avatar.
And I never said Oscar isn’t cool, PK. Just not ‘as cool’ as Cleo. You know Oscar is my boy.
snoopy is a boy doggie so i’m gonna go with that
Rawkin’ the new avatar Painey! He’s Corbie-riffic.
Actually I’m a girl. And I think I’ve mentioned that before.
yes you have snoop. i forgot…doesn’t matter nerds rawk. thanks commander, it’s not one of mine and i couldn’t find any pictures of my cat
Oscar’s yo’ boy, but let’s be real — his lameness is part of his charm. It’s like he’s so lame he’s cool.
I have IBS; I never want to even try anal and teh BF also thinks it’s gross (from his experience) and IBS is just a great excuse not to<3....and that's about the only thing it's good for.
Yeah that is a good reason. Whatever, not everyone is into everything. I have a gay friend and he doesn’t even like it lol. Do I know too much about my friends? Yes.
holy cow the birds gone now, that’s never happened before. i hope they’re not following me from home. yes pk but does oscar enjoy boxes?
Most kitties enjoy boxes, don’t they? Betcha oscar really could enjoy a garbage can home!
My mama has 3 cats who fight over their “cat condo”, which is basically just a box she brought home from costco with a “door” in it. Even the super fat lazy 12-yr old princess cat will swat her brother out of the way if he’s in “her” spot in the condo. Too funny.
Corbies are cool! And I ALSO enjoy your informative posts, snoop, keep it up, please. 🙂
I have IBS and I love anal… Snoop’s response is perfect.
Balls- I completely agree with what you said (and you too Real Chick).
Well this thread has certainly taken an interesting turn.
OMG…is the step-by-step how-to really necessary on LTWWB? I’m sure Dan Savage has lots of info that can be referred to by those who really want to experience the poo-scented trouser trout. I tried to scroll on by but once I started reading I was caught like a deer in the headlights.
Kitties and butt sex HORAAAY!!!
You know you loved it Oceanchick
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/11/9…… check out crow and cat
Woot! I tell’s ya, I’m waaaay better informed and entertained now that I’m a regular than I’ve ever been during the work day.
I’m sure that there are many who love it, but I never could make the leap from full bowel sensation to the erotic. The damn toilet just keeps getting in the way!
Your how-to, Snoop, is redundant reading. At my age, one gets dizzy from the many trips around the block. When I am reading Savage’s column, I do so expecting explicit sexual details. LTWWB? Not so much…
sorry that was supposed to be posted with the giant pigeon^^
Holy shit Snoop. Your post are always so friggin informative….that one made my ass hurt just reading it though. I had to double check if I was in the right section of the coast cause you sounded a hell of a lot like my Savage.
My cats name is Fat Shit…not sure if I have a photo of him without my little guy in it – I`ll post if I do.
Maybe from now on I should give a disclaimer at the beggining of each post lol.
Fuck that. It’s obvious I’m talking about anal in the first few sentences of my post. If you’re too squeamish to handle it then don’t read posts about anal sex. Stick to the conversations about the cuteness of everyone’s kittens. Which I must add, are all adorable.
Besides I don’t think my post was nearly as gross as the pubic hair soup bitch or the puss filled pimple picking bitch, or half the shit LIFE SUCKS writes on a regular basis. Regular commenters have read a lot worse on LTWWB.
melectric: IBS *sigh* sucks, doesn’t it? Do you have D or C? I tend towards the C and incidently am well controlled when I don’t eat any fibre but fruit fibre. It’s really hard to explain to criticizing “health nuts” why I don’t eat grain bread or most veggies — they tend to make some snarky remark about how I eat white bread and don’t add a lot of veggies to my diet (broccoli, onions, mushrooms are the only veggies I can eat, for the most part) and I’m not comfortable explaining my digestive disorders to random condescending jerkfaces.
Also: Oscar’s nickname is “chicken bologna’ — don’t ask me why, but the name just seemed to fit when he was a wee one. He’ll respond to either (though, he’ll also respond to his sister’s name…he’s clearly not that bright. He’s not stupid, but he sure is dumb)!
OH no it’s not that I didn’t want to read it Snoop….it’s like an accident you don’t want to look but sometimes you can’t help but look. And the whole anal thing….I barely tried it once…..like you said it’s not something you can just go for….lol. That’s why it hurt to read.
…or eating snot on the bus snoop. i for one would love to see fat shit rc^^
also, Snoop: pfft, nothing wrong with your anal post. Mature adults should be able to discuss sex in a frank manner. Your post wasn’t vulgar and anal is a fact of life for many, so screw what others think 🙂
That always been my policy, PK. 🙂
Heh he – Diamond is also know as: d-man, deamon, tub-a-lub and “c’mere, D”. I think he pretty much adores any attention and tends to startle strangers who come to the door by greeting them, then as soon as this person sits, is on their lap… I have to give warnings “if you don’t’ like cats, or cat hair, don’t sit”. And I always have sticky rollers ready.
I enjoyed the stop by step info, snoop. Don’t stop with info sessions on whatever topic turns your crank.
i don’t know how mature we are pk, but i am not a spleeny gal…life is messy…screee
…and full of shit.
he haawww!
Fascinating, how this sad post about bad fathers turns into a very frank discussion about anal sex.
it’s like the tide ralmn, it ebbs and flows. hunter moon tonight. hope it’s clear
No worries REAL CHICK, I should have specified who I was talking to, it wasn’t you.
Here’s Fat Shit. I had to crop little guy out. and half of the fat cat!
ahah ralmn: damn — I’ll call oscar: chicken, mr bologna, mr chicken, chicken b, bologna de poulet, chick bah-loan, mister, big guy, mr big guy, os-kies, mr stinky, etc…no wonder the poor thing’s confused most of the time 😛
his sister (molly) gets called all kinds of names too like: missy, miss kitty, missy boo, molly walls, molls, stinky bum, miss puffy muff, princess puffy snout, miss sassy girl, miss sassafrass…
my GOD I *am* a crazy cat lady…which probably makes sense given the fact that I picked up a “crazy cat lady” action figure at mrs tiggywinkles in Ottawa ^__^
aaawww, what a purdy puddytat…rawr. i asscone youse guys
When the LTWWB Girls have Gone Wild, it’s often more fun to just sit back, read and laugh like fuck. >; )
Gonna reserve judgement on bum lovin’, but one thing I will say – Everybody’s kitteh is hella kule.
Holy! Fat Shit is loverly. Like my mama’s Felix. 🙂 I could happily be a crazy cat lady. Probably in my elder years I will live alone in a cabin by the sea with my 15 cats… that would be an excellent retirement scene pour moi.
I was wondering where you were to, Ivan, my king. Highly suspicious that suckalicious is still missing too. You’d think his horny senses would be tingling like crazy!
awww Fat Cat looks just like MY old fat cat! He was one of the great loves of my life 🙂
lifey lost visitation rights to his wee grandson, he posted that last week…sad rawk
I’m not a cat person at all though….sorry ladies. I’m allergic if I touch him my eyes turn blood red and a itch like crazy! I feel so bad for him. He’s been a hand-me down kinda kitty his whole life…..He’s had 3 owners who all just moved and left him behind and I keep ending up with him cause I feel so guilty…but I can’t touch him. I just feed him and give him treats and a good home. I can’t really find him another good home either because he’s like 12-14 years old (not sure) so I’d feel too guilty giving him to some nice person and him dying within the first year. He’s been run over by a car and everything….has a million lives. I don’t mean to be mean…but I wish he was with someone who would cuddle him all the time because he loves to be close…..he lets my little guy squeeze him and hug him and lays there and takes it no problem.
“lifey lost visitation rights to his wee grandson” wtf, how does that happen?
Parents took him out west. More a loss of opportunity than of rights along with some hints at a less than ideal domestic situation. Sad for Lifer. >: (
Ah, I see. Yeah, that does suck.
**disclaimer: don’t read if …well it’s just gross, you probably shouldn’t read it**
@PK: My IBS is a lot of both unfortunately. And yeah, there isn’t really much I can eat. I love vegetables but can’t really eat them. And of course things like V8 juice and pizza sauce I looove but can’t eat :(. It’s weird though, whenever I eat at King’s Palace my digestive system is lovely to me…weird. And of course I’m obsessive/anxious/paranoid a lot of the time which screws me over even if I don’t eat anything :'(. I just pop imodium like candy especially when going out to dinner or something, I take two before I even eat :P. Whether that’s killing me in the long run, I dunno.

Now for my kitty’s nicknames – his name is Dexter and I like to call him: Kitty Mau, Kitty Man, Boobie, Boobie-boo, Mau Chau, Fatty Cakes, Fat Man, Mister, Mauskin (I have not idea why), and pretty much just other combinations of the names I already listed 😀
Oh and I forgot about baked goods…people are always offering me cookies and pie and donuts or muffins and I love those things so when they’re offered I’m all “Okay!….wait…never mind – no I can’t” and then people keep asking why and I usually get some comment on how it wouldn’t hurt me as I’m skinny which is really annoying because people used to always call me anorexic when I just had a high metabolism…and now I have IBS lawl; they keep in me in great shape <3
Yup — that’s what it was like for me in my late teens/early 20s. I probably kept pepto bismal in business. And I’d go all day without eating just for fear of an attack, which ended in some pretty hairy situations blood sugar-wise. But I think it’s the IBS that’s saving me now that my gallbladder is out. A lot of people can’t tolerate fats after their GB is out, but I have no issues. And *sigh* I hear ya on the V8 juice. I love that stuff, but can’t drink it. Drs will tell you to eat more fibre, but that can make it worse– it does for me. For instance flax seed and bran will throw me into an attack. And subway? even worse than flax and bran. I don’t have many IBS-D attacks anymore, but the IBS-C attacks aren’t any less frustrating.
Have you tried apples? And grapefruit? Both are godsends for me 🙂
I’m not sure how baked goods would react — I know caffeine and processed sugars make it worse, but I never really ever consumed either since before the onset of the IBS because of my diabetes.
Also: Dexter is one cool ass mofo. That picture cracks me up. I <3 kitties in cute poses!
shoutin out to donk. eeyore is my favourite cartoon donkey…many good quotes “it’s not much of a tail, but i’m sort of attached to it”. poor eeyore never brayed, probably why he was sad…heehaw
I have so many funny pictures of Dexter PK :)! He’s one of those cats that thinks he’s human. I’ll have to change my pic every week or something, I have way too many funny pics of him 😀 He’s sucha lolcat. He must know I was typing about him, he came right over to me <3. Oh there he goes.....gawd I'm obsessed with him 😀
Lol pg Eeyore is like the only cartoon donkey I know. The pic pretty much sums up how I feel today. Tmrw though, I go shopping for the Halloween costume! 😀 Can’t wait!

thanks snoop, that was a dark disney film
Donkey on Shrek is a hoot. 🙂
Speaking of dark Disney movies, anyone ever seen the black cauldron? That was a bit disturbing too…
i remember that one, fantasia was cool. my faves are dumbo and the jungle book
It’s ok, melectric — I’m obsessed with Molly and Oscar too 😛 Unfortunately, Oscar doesn’t let me take very many pictures of him 🙁 I have to be kind of a ninja about it!
He could DEFINITELY be an lolcat too! (molly just sits there all pretty thinking ‘ugh, what a filthy beast he is and here I am so pretty’ so I don’t think she’d make a very good lolcat) 🙂
Also donk: people bitch at eyore for being so depressed, but I’d be depressed too if someone had to nail my tail back on (my theoretical tail, guys, PK does NOT have an actual tail)!
The Countess is the smartest kitteh in the world. I ask her to name the fat dead Chinese communist who systematically murdered some 40 million of his own countrymen – and she gets it right, every time. RAWK!
