    @ToTheRight I’m so sorry for your loss. I know too well what it’s like losing a cat, as the day I lost mine was possibly the worst day of my life. Full disclosure, it hurt me even more than the human losses in my life. It could sound silly to some, but that cat was literally like my son / my baby, and he was so sweet and loved so hard even though his life was cut short. Life can get so dark sometimes, but we’ll do whatever we can here to help at least make things a little better.

    I'm at a loss for words, @ToTheRight. You are going through some rough times. Just hang in there, mate. Even the darkest of times come to an end, I promise. In any case, you deserve hapiness. And that comes from the heart of my wife and myself.

    Thank you.

    I know that this has been a particularly rough stretch @ToTheRight, and there is little that I can say that is going to ease the pain of these past few weeks. Often our pets function as part therapist and part best friend. Their love is pure and unconditional, so when they exit from our lives the pain can be immense – especially in this case, as this cat was also a gift from your late girlfriend.

    As always, we are here to support you.

    Sorry to read about the loss of Earl Baba @ToTheRight our pets are just as big a part of our lives as our friends and family. Sometimes the beauty is that they can't talk.
    They just listen to us and give us all the affection and time we need.

    This doesn't seem to end. My little buddy, EARL BABA passed away in my arms this morning.
    He was 14. My late girlfriend had shipped him from Scotland to the US so he could be with us. He was my best friend for 8 years.
    I always said that being from Sean Connery's homeland he had abetter chance of being cast as Bond than me. He was amazing. I love you, little buddy.

    I'm sorry for the loss of your cat, @ToTheRight. I've had similar feelings every umpteen years or so for the last forty years. But except for an attempt at kicking the habit from 1997 to 2002, me and my wife had cats ever since we were together. The last time we had to let go because our cats were irretrievably sick, we lived all but five days without felines. And then we went to the closest shelter and got two new lovely ones. Which - as all cats before them - immediately became our latest favorite pets - no harm intended for the previous contenders. Cheer up, there's one (or maybe two) felines somewhere close just dying to be with you. Don't let it bring you down. Cats just have a shorter life span than humans (though on the average longer than dogs), and 14 years is quite a spell. One has to face it.

    Thanks, @j_w_pepper. I do have 2 felines left. My dearly departed girlfriend enjoyed adopting rescued ferals that had disabilities. Ones that no one else took int theor homes.
    Both of these cats have only one eye that functions properly. SKYE had an injury- perhaps someone had slammed a door into her face paralyzing her left side- and Squeaky has her left eye clouded up. If she had been a male cat I'd have suggested Le Chiffre for a name (and have probably been vetoed). They both seem baffled as to Earl's absense. They're adorable.

    That was really sweet of her, and you.

    I'm so sorry to hear that @ToTheRight, Rainbow Bridge has earned another four-legged angel. :( What was it someone once said, the kindest souls live the shortest lives.

    My doggo passed away last year, and though I have since gotten another doggo (which I didn't intend on doing), I still miss him.

    I'm so sorry to read about your cat, my good friend. Cats can be such good and warm friends. I've lost many cats in my life and it never stops hurting.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    What a horrible Sunday.

    Bill Russell, NBA legend – and a legend off the court as well – has passed away at the age of 88. And naturally this news is followed up by the announcement that Nichelle Nichols (Uhura on Star Trek) has passed away.

    Without being overtly political, it may be difficult for younger people to fully appreciate their individual struggles and the important symbolism that they represented during the civil rights struggles of the 1960s and 70s.

    RIP to two trailblazers and thank you. I’ll see you on the flip side.

    Oh no not Nichelle, Uhura was such an iconic character and Nichelle always came across as kind in interviews. R. I. P.

    Met Nichelle Nichols a couple times at STAR TREK Conventions back in the late '80's and early '90's. A very nice person and had plenty of time for fans.
    RIP.

    I'm not a Star Trek fan I'm afraid, but I do respect the massive impact Nichelle Nichols had on TV and film.

    In France, we've lost producer Christophe Izard, creator of TV shows geared to children, from L'Île aux Enfants (inspired by Sesame Street), to Les Visiteurs du Mercredi, which filled quite a few of my wednesday afternoons in the seventies and eighties.

    Remembering the longest serving and most prolific James Bond continuation author, John Gardner, who died fifteen years ago today on 3 August 2007. Besides Bond he wrote novels about his characters Boysie Oakes, Herbie Kruger, Derek Torry, Suzie Mountford as well as the Moriarty Journals and the Secret Generation trilogy of spy novels.

    Judith Durham, the lead singer for the Seekers, has died. What a voice she had! Here's one of their most famous songs, the theme to a little movie called "Georgy Girl":

    And here's one of my own favorites, from deep inside the fabled studios at Abbey Road: "I'll Never Find Another You." Rest in Peace, Judith...

    I seemed to remember one of the US news programs doing a profile of the Seekers some years ago (can't find it at the moment). In any case, without going on a "back in my day" rant, I do miss the variety of sounds on AM radio when I was growing up. Ms. Durham was a part of that.
    RIP Ms. Judith Durham

    Very sad to hear about Judith Durham! Only recently bought The Seekers farewell concert album! Such a great and distinctive voice. R.I.P.
