Tyr is about a 6/10 from what I've seen. Though Britain tends to score on a curve, right?

Brits tend to be one way or the other; not a lot of middlers.

Hot as hell, or very very meh.

Would it help if I sent them pictures of my trouser snake?

Sorry, but that's just silly.

Go for it. See what happens.

Oh come on.  There are certainly at least some Brits who are hott

Fuck.  My laundry machine just crapped out on me.

Hundreds of artists have collaborated to redraw the thousands of pages of the Akira manga with Simpsons characters. Due to the amount of artists the style can change jarringly from one page to the next, but it's still an impressive feat:

Also, I imagine Tyr sounds like the old coot in this video

So now I have two cats that have a terminal illness.  One is suffering from Kidney Failure the other is has Cancer of the Mouth.  Seems like everything around me is dying.

I understand this incredibly well. It's why my therapist recommended that I get a puppy or kitten last year since my last cat died and my dog was at the end of his life, too. He wanted me to have something young and vibrant to take care of when Thor died. He was very wise.

I'm wishing you well, my friend. I know how much this all hurts.

That is what getting older does. You love them, you'll mourn them & you'll get new cats to love.

I'm a pragmatic asshole, Meri is a nice person but the message is the same. Get new young cats.

My elder cat (nearly 17) has kidney issues. Now the vet has us giving her subcutaneous infusions of Ringer's lactate solution twice a week.

Let me tell you, our cat does not appreciate being held still for several minutes and stuck with a big needle, while fluid drips into her hide. 

Seems to work though.

Edit: it's amazing how the cats in the instruction videos just sit there and take it without a protest. Evidently, we lack the ability to train our cat to accept this ...

Our younger cat and our dog are both very well behaved for the vet, though neither have had to go through anything like that, and it is the pros doing the shots and such, not us.

Still need to get the older cat to the vet, though.  Don't know how that will go.

How old are your cats, Raz?
