Richard Chamberlain, the heartthrob of TV’s Dr. Kildare and star of The Thorn Birds and The Count of Monte Cristo, spent much of his life as a deeply private and introspective man, especially when it came to love and family.

For decades, Chamberlain kept his personal life out of the spotlight. It wasn’t until he was in his 60s that he publicly came out as gay and revealed his long-term relationship with Martin Rabbett, a writer and producer. The two were partners for over 30 years and even portrayed a couple in several projects, including All the Winters That Have Been.

Though they never had children, Chamberlain and Rabbett shared a quiet, deeply affectionate domestic life—splitting their time between homes in Hawaii and California. Chamberlain has since described his personal journey as one of liberation and spiritual evolution, and he’s become a quiet advocate for living authentically, no matter your age.

He once wrote:

“Love is not defined by public approval—it’s defined by how much joy and peace you bring into each other’s lives.”

Richard Chamberlain’s legacy is not just in his screen performances—but in his courage to embrace who he was and honor the love that shaped his world.

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.

The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.

My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Nothing."

The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?"

At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.

Finally, I pondered an age-old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked

in the nuts, but how could they know?

Well, after another beer and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with

an answer to that question.

Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby and even though I obviously

couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion:

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."

But you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

I rest my case. Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap.

A professional sniper goes to a gun store to buy a new sight. He asks to test it, and the shop owner sets him up near a window, through which he can see a house on a hill.

The sniper says, “I can see a woman in that house”.

“That’s my wife”, says the gun shop owner, “Blonde hair? Tall? Glasses?”

“Yep”, replies the sniper, “But she’s with a guy. And, it looks like they’re up to no good”.

“Let me see!” says the owner. He takes the rifle, looks through the sight, and hands it back to the sniper. He slaps two bullets on the counter, enraged.

“I’ll give you the sight for free if you can shoot his dick off, and put one through her head!”.

The sniper replies, “Well, I tell you what. Will you give me the rifle too, if I can do it with one bullet?”

THIS IS HILLARIOUS, AND TRUE... HOORAY FOR MEXICO

CO...

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addresses Trump:

“So, you voted to build a wall.

Well, dear Americans, even if you don’t understand much about geography, since for you America is your country and not a continent, it is important for you to know, before the first brick is laid, that there are 7 billion people beyond that wall.

But since you don’t really know the term “people,” we will call them “consumers.” There are 7 billion consumers ready to replace their iPhones with Samsung or Huawei devices in less than 42 hours.

They can also replace Levi’s with Zara or Massimo Duti.

In less than six months, we can easily stop buying Ford or Chevrolet cars and replace them with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault or BMW, which are technically better than the cars they produce. These 7 billion people can also stop subscribing to Direct TV, and we don't want to do that, but we can stop watching Hollywood movies and start watching more Latin American or European productions that have better quality, message, cinematic techniques and content.

Although it may sound incredible, we can skip Disney and go to the Xcaret resort in Cancun, Mexico, Canada or Europe: there are other great destinations in South America, East America and Europe.

And even if you don't believe it, even in Mexico there are better hamburgers than McDonald's and they have better nutritional content.

Has anyone seen pyramids in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan and other countries there are pyramids with incredible civilizations.

Find out where to find the wonders of the ancient and modern world. None of them in the US. Shame on Trump, he would have bought them and sold them!

We know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start wearing Mexican sneakers like Panam. We know more than you think.

We know, for example, that if these 7 billion consumers don't buy their products, there will be unemployment and their economy will collapse (within the racist wall) to such an extent that they will beg us to tear down this ugly wall.

We didn't want to, but....

You want a wall, you get a wall. Sincerely yours."

SO SWEET AND SO SAD

She came into this world holding onto loss — and left it wrapped in love. 🖤🦍Ndakasi was just a baby when rangers found her holding her dead mother — another victim of poachers in Virunga National Park. That night, a man named Andre Bauma held her close, pressing her small body to his chest to keep her warm. He never let go.

For 13 years, Ndakasi grew with his care — not in the wild where she was born to live, but in a sanctuary that became her home. A safe place, full of second chances and love that crossed species. In return, she gave the world a gift: her face, her story, a reason to care.

You might remember her — smiling next to a ranger in a famous selfie, standing proud as if she belonged to both worlds. And she did.

Ndakasi passed away quietly, her last breath in the arms of the man who first saved her.

She wasn’t just a gorilla.She was a symbol of what we can save — and a reminder of what we can lose.

Rest peacefully, sweet soul.You were deeply loved. 🌿-

She said, “Don't call the doctor, I want to fall asleep peacefully, with your hand in mine.” He told her about the past, how they met, their first kiss. they didn't cry, they smiled. They didn't regret anything, they were grateful.

Then she repeated softly, 'I love you forever!' He returned her words, gave her a soft kiss on the forehead. She closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully with her hand in his. Love is really all that matters because everyone comes into this world with nothing other than love and leaves with nothing other than love. Think about it.

Profession, career, bank account, our goods are just tools, nothing more. Everything stays here. So just love….Love those that really love you. Love, as if there was nothing more important in your life.❤️

She said to my mum that I had lovely hair and asked what my name was. She then said, “Can I pick him up?”

It was at that moment that Diana gently lifted the 6lb 1oz child from his cot – carefully, so as not to disturb the wires monitoring his condition – and gazed down at him.

‘From what my mum said, she truly cared,’ said James. ‘She was there all day. It wasn’t just for a picture. The photograph was taken by my grandfather, Brian.

‘He said she was lovely and acted like a normal person. She was just there to help others.

‘She wanted to send a little bit of hope to people who were at their lowest.

‘It gave a lot of families comfort when she turned up – a belief that everything was going to be OK. She lifted everyone’s spirits.

‘I was the only baby she picked up – the golden arms of Diana held me. She was so heartwarming, so maybe that’s what helped me to keep on fighting. She may have passed on a little bit of her love and got me through it, who knows?’

Now a strapping 6ft-tall plasterer, James Whetton loves to tell the story of the angel that held him in her arms so lovingly.
