Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and shall we say, love. The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly.

To start with, he had only one eye, and where the other should have been was a gaping hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner.

His tail has long since been lost, leaving only the smallest stub, which he would constantly jerk and twitch. Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby striped-type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, even his shoulders with thick, yellowing scabs. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. "That's one ugly cat!"

All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction. If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around your feet in forgiveness. Whenever he spied children, he would come running meowing frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their love. If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find.

One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbors huskies. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. From my apartment I could hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end.

Ugly lay in a wet circle, his back legs and lower back twisted grossly out of shape, a gaping tear in the white strip of fur that ran down his front. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home I could hear him wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. I must be hurting him terribly I thought. Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear- Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head, then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring. Even in the greatest pain, that ugly battled-scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion.

At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, or even try to get away from me, or struggle in any way. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.

Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful.

He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply. To give my total to those I cared for.

Many people want to be richer, more successful, well liked, or beautiful, but for me, I will always try to be "Ugly".

My friend came to my place for a swim. I always swim topless, and she decided to try it too. We were alone and no one can see my pool area from the outside. But when her Mum found out she freaked that my friend would be "so immodest". As punishment, she made my friend go a whole day wearing nothing but a pair of panties, in front of her family and some of her parents friends that came over. Go figure? If her Mum was so upset at her going topless, in a private place, why make her go topless in a more public place? She wasn't all that embarrassed, except in front of her Mum's friends, and it all seems a bit wierd. At 16 shouldn't she and I be able to decide what is appropriate to wear and when?

Hi guys,

I'm 16. I have a debit card. I went to a porn website and used it to buy a trial thingy for £1.63. A few days later, I find the website has charged me an extra £16.57. I can't tell my Dad or my bank. I know this is a lesson for life, but what should I do?

A mug appeared on the windowsill of my office while I was off sick and it has a large amount of mould growing in it. Whilst it's quite pretty, I feel I should clean it out. What's the best way to proceed?

I got information on it from my doctor but I want some information from someone who has actually used it or is still using it. How did it feel when you got it and can you still feel it inside you? Also it says a string hangs out. I don't want to feel like I have a tampon in all the time. And how do you go about getting it. How many appointments did it take you and how long did it take to put it in. I'm on the Depo. shot now and have been for over 2 years. But its making me not want sex as much. Does the IUD make you gain weight or loss your sex drive?

Typically, before elections, politicians pull some stunt (referred to as "wag the dog") to pull up their ratings.
With some many things falling apart 1 mth before elections (eg. Foley scandal, Bob Woodward book, Iraq War), there is suddenly lots of attention to catch Al-Qaeda... Earlier today, they tried but failed to catch some Al-Qaeda leader. Some also said that Osama is already captured and that he will be produced just before the election.... :)

I've noticed as I've grown spiritually closer to Jesus, I think more about death. The same goes since I've had my son Kadin. In Eccleslastes 7:4 it says that a wise person thinks much about death whereas a fool thinks only about having a good time.

Has anyone else had this experience of thinking alot of death as you have grown closer to God?
