Social Security: 6 States That Heavily Tax Benefits By John Maxfield , July 12, 2014 Source: The Tax Foundation As a retiree, there are few things as frustrating as the fact that your Social Security benefits are potentially subject to federal income taxes. Weren't previously paid taxes what financed them in the first place?

These states -- Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Rhode Isl…

Until we have a dedicated Masturbation forum here. And putting aside that the whole of boytoy.com already qualifies. http://www.jackinworld.com/

I use to have a big crush on this guy. Glad he is feeling comfortable with his life and who he is! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/12/ian-thorpe-gay_n_5580385.html

This was posted today on Facebook and I love it. While size is not everything, I do have to admit, just looking at the photo, there is a difference.

Lacking a Music forum, this post lands here. Miscellany of Bach pieces performed by my favorite organist (of this type ), one Michel Chapuis...

Sal Bardo’s controversial short film “Chaser” is a stunning 15-minute short that explores a young man’s self-destructive journey through New York’s barebacking scene. Zach, a young gay schoolteacher who has been alienated from his conservative Jewish family and community, seeks solace by attending no condom breeding parties. The film has created a lot of buzz at film festivals all over the world, raising several questions about some seldom explored aspects of the gay scene.

I just read an article about "popcorn lung" which suggests that microwave popcorn chemicals release at temperatures below the boiling point of water a substance that affects one's lungs. The remedy is to wait until the bag has cooled before opening. Well, duh.

The conclusion was that only the factory workers who are exposed to this chemical constantly are at any real risk but still, don't open that bag until it cools. Best regards, RA1

She wears a different pair of HIGH heels on every episode... I guess she is into shoes.. They really need a female judge to balance things out. All three male judges drooling over her makes me unpleasant to watch the show. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_w9xz88P1Bc

Actually, I don't very much. But, today, catching up on the NBA trading rumors, I read one which mentioned how they all were waiting with baited breath. I suppose sports talkers can have minnows or worms in their mouths in order to bait their breath. Most of us hold our breath when it is bated. It is a relatively slow time for sports. Football is around the corner, basketball is over for 3 more months, tennis is between Wimbledon and the US Open, the major golf tournaments either have already been played or are in the future. The baseball All Star game is next week. Baseball has had some moments but the "pennant race" is yet to commence, so a little slow. Soccer…

Anyone who follows the boards here knows that Adam Smith has a fascination with a certain different "flavor" of things.. that being said, when I saw this audition on AGT, I immediately thought of him.. Could it be our own Adam Smith is now a tv celebrity???
