Then there's me... When I was small, white stripe of grandma's Nivea across my face, with, for some reason, an empty hot water bottle strapped to my chest. #PrinceCharming

Lost this year -- the two prior were both 16 though, and died from expected age-related conditions; but I've been spoiled with cat karma and had them usually live into the early or mid 20s.

Below I've attached my eulogy to Kaylee, it's my favourite picture I ever took of her:

We decided that our beautiful 9 year old sisters should be together, and we kept them that way, I just couldn't justify letting River starve to death and go into organ failure because the decision was going to be "hard".

I miss them both, more than I thought possible, and this makes 4 cats we've

To acknowledge she was ill. She kept doing her rituals, acting like nothing was wrong, even while the cancer consumed her from the inside. Her nose turned white (from pink), the insides of her ears were yellow, and she was skin and bones from tip to tail. She'd also stopped growing back fur.

What you need, when making a list of the most influential Gen X albums, is albums from when Gen X were in their formative teenage years, so 1978-1995.

So what I'm going to do is post 1 entry from the list at a time, and fill the list out as it grows.

The list you'll typically get are albums from the 1965-1980 years that encompass Gen X, which isn't accurate at all, because for the majority of those years the list they'd give you would be while Gen X were infants or small children.
