Quitting smoking is hard, really hard. I hope you enjoy many more years of added life!

I'm very sorry you feel unaccepted as a gay man here on DU. I'd say that shocks me, but I suppose it shouldn't. Just know there are many here who celebrate you for being forthright about your orientation.

I'm terribly sorry you lost your cat. We have lost many over the years, and it never gets any easier. It tears my heart out. My wife is at the vets on an emergency visit right now with our eldest kitty. We would appreciate your good wishes.

Of course, the elephant in the room is Gaza. You and I will likely never see eye to eye about that, but I know that we can all respect one another here and accept our differences without making them personal.

All the best!
