I had a rescue feral that eventually had to have all his teeth extracted. He was fine; his tongue didn’t hang out, and he eventually even tackled kibble again, even though wet food was always on offer.

Lola here has had all but 2 of her teeth pulled over her 15 years and has shown zero ill effects from it. It does look funny when she whines and you see just the two teeth.

My kitty had to have his teeth removed, the vet said it was a genetic thing with some cats. My Mishto is still going strong at 15, and we got him some new toy balls with little jingle bells inside that he chases around, a lot. He’s a very good soccer cat, and was always good at shagging balls. 

Aww, poor Blanchie! What a sweet looking bb.

I survived having a birthday! My wretched mother ruined every one I ever had in some way, and still tries. As a result and probably from the CPTSD of growing up with a narcissistic family that scapegoated me since I was born, I usually feel horrible on my birthday, worthless and unloved. And I felt like that, to the…

I had a dog that I got from a rescue that had really bad teeth and one of the first things we had to do was have most of them removed. She looked so miserable after surgery and I thought she was gonna hate me, but when we got up the next day- what a change! She was so happy and playful ! It was wonderful! I’d just…

I’m confident I will never be as fancy as those bouffant chickens, and I am fine with that.

Happy New Year, friends! It’s time for your Weekly Achievement Thread! What have you done this past week that you are proud of? Let us know so that we can cheer you!

Evidently he can do so "accordingly". 

One of my daughter’s schoolfriends was a black belt in some martial art (can’t remember which). When she was 16 and walking home from school, a creep tried to grab her. We asked what she did. She replied “I kicked him as hard as I could in the balls and ran”. As hard as she could kick was...extremely hard indeed.  

Michael,

You know, reality has been waaaay too much like a bad movie lately. If reality decides to make a turn to being an awesome Blaxploitation film, I’m really okay with that.

But all fun & jokes aside...everybody needs to focus in on the fact that this predator wanted to attack this innocent woman so bad that he didn’t care about who he had to go thru to get to her. He did not care. He said he came in there for that lady...like she was his property. 

It really is all he has left. The Wall is his Moby-Dick and his God. 

the number 1 reason people do shit like this is because they are so thirsty. it’s literally the only chance they have to be (in)famous. if the media decided en masse to never name mass shooters and terrorists I suspect at least half of these dipshits wouldn’t even start down the mass killer path.

His alleged defense in his public statement still alluded to, if not outright harassment, certainly inappropriate behavior. 

Dawkins incidentally, has also had problems treating women like people.

“She believes in crystals so I couldn’t have raped her” is going to take efforts he won’t make to fix. His whole attitude in that public letter was more damning than anything else. Pretty much any woman who has confronted a harasser knows that tone. All scumbags make the same excuses. It’s like they have an…

For me personally I’m done with him. Even if the investigation comes back as there being nothing actionable his version of events was so creepy and completely out of touch I just have no respect for him anymore.
