Not that I give a crap, but not necessarily. He can choose and use a different name if he do wishes. But that would be even more weird.
I'm so sorry. It feels like after losing Abe-San it's just...Rest In Peace Queen Elizabeth II. She passed away this afternoon peacefullyGod rest her soul.
This year feels really bad.
Certainly a historic moment.
My condolences to the people of the U.K., and Queen Elizabeth’s family.
May the kingdom of King Charles III be guided by wisdom.

Shame. I was hoping for Hubert.
Actually I was just hoping she’d be the last one. Oh well.
I probably won't be around by the time William gets to ascend the throne -- wish I would be, though, as I'd love to see him and Catherine as the King and Queen and of course they've got three heirs to the throne already.
Bernard Shaw of CNN fame died too. They always say it comes in threes.
and so, my oldest cat has finally passed away. One day after the Queen; I’d say it’s fitting knowing her (the cat’s) character. She was a good pet for 16 years.
Condolences for your loss. That’s a good age but also no doubt makes it worse
Sorry for your loss. My two oldest cats, sisters, also 16, passed away recently too. Like all my other cats these were rescue shelter adopted and at least I could provide them with a very good life in our house. I’m not sure if I can have any more pets in the future, it was a bit hard on me when they died.
RIP jazz musician Ramsey Lewis at age 87 (https://www.ramseylewis.com). His trio's version of "In Crowd" has been in my digital library and often in playlists for the past .... eek, well, a lot of years! Listening to it always brings me joy.
I did not realize this in the midst of all the news. He was a great journalist. During the heyday of CNN, he refused to report the death of James Brady during the assassination attempt on the life of President Reagan. Lot's of integrity: he was willing to get the story right rather than being first.
Don’t ever buy a piece of furniture made with faux leather or the equivalent unless you don’t mind a material with a short life span, small flecks and pieces of shedding material on you and the floor. I payed what I consider a lot of money for an office chair, it’s probably 5 years old and it’s shedding significantly. Of note, blame me, I did not realize I was buying faux leather. The previous fabric office chair lasted 15 years, I still have it as a spare chair and it’s still going strong.

This is especially so if you have a cat, and the cat likes the chair, and likes to 'sharpen' her claws on it. Our fabric covered chairs show no such problems.
The choice is -- get rid of the chair or get rid of the cat. Second option is cheapest...
I will go further and suggest that it is a bad idea to buy anything made of faux or “vegan” “leather”, especially for reasons of price - usually turned out to be false economy in my case.Don’t ever buy a piece of furniture made with faux leather or the equivalent unless you don’t mind a material with a short life span, small flecks and pieces of shedding material on you and the floor.

I had a fabric sofa. My cats destroyed it. Literally destroyed it.
Cat mittens or an metal sofa.
or
Kotopita (kotopoulo is chicken in Greek) but replace "koto" with gatos. Yes that's what gatos means similar to spanish. 😈
They are quite proficient at shaking mittens off don’t they?
Yes they are, grew up with two cats and am quite aware of how little they obey their
That is what they do. They were simply marking the territory that they owned and allowed you to live in ... provided you fed them. Gotta love cats.
