The veterinary told us that no cat had ever been able to get rid of this suit. I request a name change for mine - Mr Houdini only needed 7 hours and 18 minutes to free himself  :icon_rolleyes:

Speaking about no cat:

A cat has one tail more than no cat.
No cat has 8 tails.
Therefore, a cat has nine tails.
It is not enough to have no ideas of your own; you must also be incapable of expressing them.

Yesterday one of our cats died. She was hit by a car and killed instantly.
Only 1,5 years old leaving us and her twin-sister behind to be in a better world..

My sincerest condolences,  friend. :cry:

I'm in the same boat as well.

The day after Thanksgiving my black cat, Buddy, expired from a unknown ailment. He was a large fluff ball that was sweet and lazy as they come. He also has a twin and the only way to tell the two glorified pillows apart was that Buddy had a short tail due to losing most of it as a kitten. (We found them abandoned in a dump.)

The family is really feeling the lose of our good Buddy. :unsure:

Our 2 you could tell apart by the tail also, Abby our other cat has a small white point on the end (our lantern cat). If you knew them really well you could also tell by the build of the head, Arya's was a bit pointier and the cypress markings were a little different.

Is it selfish to be upset with someone who was suppose to plan your bachelor party but instead he planned a trip to Thailand to see his girlfriend?  Mind you he knew he had to plan the party LONG before he came up with the scheme to go to Thailand?  So is it selfish of me to be upset that he's being selfish?

But of course he's being an asshole to you. Sorry man. You're right to be pissed.

He screwed up. As a friend he should know better.

I'd say it really depends on how he approached it with you.

I think it's unreasonable to expect that he would put his (obviously not ideal) relationship situation at a lower priority than your bachelor party. I mean, it's not your wedding, right? It's just a bachelor party.

On the other hand, if he's committed to planning this, then it's shitty to pull out.

In my opinion, there's a world of difference between "Yo dude! Got a better offer, so I'm not planning your Bachelor do anymore!" and "Yo dude, I'm really sorry, but I have this opportunity to actually spend some time with my girlfriend, and I don't know if I'm going to be able to plan the Bachelor Party".

Finally, it is NEVER selfish to feel upset about stuff. Feelings are feelings, yo. But perhaps it's helpful to talk with your friend about how you *feel*, rather than framing things in terms of how you (rightly) think he's dropping the ball on his obligations.

Something that you will almost certainly be confronted with at least a handful of times as the wedding gets closer, is the fact that nobody else gives, or can be expected to give, the same amount of fucks about your wedding as you do. There absolutely will be situations where stuff that is very important to you seems like "no big deal" to friends. And it's important to recognise that this doesn't make them arseholes, and it doesn't make your priorities selfish.

As always, communication is really important. I think that talking to your friend about how you feel is probably more constructive than asking a bunch of anonymous strangers on the internet whether your friend is being an arsehole or not.

(And I really don't mean that last sentence as passive-aggressively as it probably comes across).

TALK TO HIM!!!

Its my brother so there is the blood aspect of it.  Originally his girlfriend was going to fly out for the wedding and the plan was for him to plan the party sometime in December or early January.  Once his Girlfriend's visa was denied he threw away all plans for the party to plan a trip to Thailand with her for 3 weeks, returning when college starts.  Which means when he returns he cant leave to come down until the wedding.  I met with him in July and August to discuss what I'd like in the party (I am not suppose to be apart of the planning, its meant to be like a surprise party) and reminded him in September and October to get with the guys and plan it out, which he barley did according to the guests.  Once the visa was rejected in late November he just threw the party planning on the back burner and planned the trip.  Then trying to plan the party after the trip no one is available the one day he is.

If it was just a friend I wouldn't be mad so much but its my brother.  It hurts that he waited last minute to throw a party (which he said he wanted to do back in July) for me and then just scrapped it.  Could have planned the party then planned the trip or even planned out the party and handed the reigns off to someone else to carry out his plans.

At this point I don't want to go off on him as I want him to enjoy his trip and wish no ill will toward him when he's on travel.

So I just watched the 2011 Conan movie. I gotta say it's pretty shitty and doesn't feel a whole lot at all like the original Robert E. Howard Conan people have been saying it is.

Time to watch the superior 1982 version again.

Superior for sure, but the 2011 one wasn't that bad. I'm a huge fan of Howard and thought that Jason Momoa wasn't really bad. Hell, he was probably more true to the original vision of the Cymmerian that Arnie was.

I just thought that Momoa seemed like a douche compared to Arnold who appeared more stoic than Momoa.

Momoa WAS a douche, that was his whole point. He was more of a mercenary, than a noble savage. Again, that's like Howard portrayed Conan in his first books.

I dunno, I don't picture Conan sneering a whole lot in the old stories like Momoa did. In the early stories Conan really has a more earnest attitude to contrast civilised people who are the real douches in Howard's stories, because Howard thought that civilisation makes people decadent. Howard used Conan to imply that a person without civilisation wouldn't have pretensions about his place in the world and would therefore be without decadence.
