The Beer Bar

Not a joke, as dog owners will know. Our dog more than once got hold of chocolate thanks to the ex's carelessly leaving it lying within reach. This meter would have been helpful for judging whether, and how fast, to rush to the vet: http://www.petmd.com/dog/chocolate-toxicity?icn=petMD-utility_bar&icl=3_choco_meter#.UZKvysqXyGs

Now, we can't all afford first-class air travel - but how about a relaxing sea-voyage to Thailand as a fare-paying passenger on a Cargo boat! Sure it's slow - but not all are in a rush! First-Class accomodation on board apparently, no more than a dozen fellow passengers, dining in the Officers restaurant ......... Most importantly - wouldn't it be fabulously outrageous and a touch of class to arrive in Thailand by boat? Mincing down the gangway holding your parasol aloft whilst your trunk and hat-boxes are unloaded on the quay, and portered to an awaiting taxi to whisk you to your Hotel? This is the way we should live! (I'd be the one with the pink dres…

I think it's amazing that he did this. Congrats! http://news.yahoo.com/ny-man-finishes-writing-entire-bible-hand-014023251.html?.nx=count%3D5%26sortBy%3DhighestRated%26isNext%3Dtrue%26offset%3D20%26pageNumber%3D4

Rep. Steve King's strange argument on Tim Tebow and Jason Collins.. Even an irrational hubby chasing guy like me is overwhelmed by this politician's view point... I'm a Christian too so I guess Obama should call me too??? http://www.sbnation.com/2013/5/14/4330112/steve-king-tim-tebow-jason-collins-video

This is so sad but fascinating as well. The article is here!

It's expected to pass the Senate, and the Gov. says he'll sign it. That would make three states already this month. I wonder how this will play among the justices in SCOTUS.

Yep its here and will probably be in wide release Q2 of 2014. Check out the vid below

This is not good. Hopefully it will get lost in the house. What bothers me just as much is eBay thinks its a good idea, WTF? If passed into law will that change your online buying habits? The Senate approved a long-anticipated Internet sales tax proposal on Monday, moving the legislation one step closer to enactment and paving the way for shoppers to pay sales tax on the majority of online purchases.The so-called Marketplace Fairness Act would allow the 45 states (and the District of Columbia) that currently charge sales taxes to require large online retailers to collect tax on purchases made by their residents. The law would only apply to online sellers that have sales …

My mom wasn't a fancy lady. She was born in the backwoods of Arkansas. She never went to college. Just a "regular" girl. She married (twice) and had 4 boys and 2 girls. It turned out that two of the sons were gay. She accepted my gay brother and I without hesitation. We were always made to feel welcome as well as anyone we were dating/in a relationship. Some of my mom's wittisisms--once, our male dog was humping the male cat.. and my mom joked, "Even my dog is gay".. and another time, way back in the 80's, when mom said, "All the time I thought I had 4 boys and 2 girls, and now I find out I had 4 girls and 2 boys". And the best of all times; My (straight) sister had a …

Based on the name MsGuy gave me I believe he is still with us since I can't find him in the obituaries. I know his health has not been great but he was well enough to clean and sweep his garage and had pizza with his nephew so I am optimistic.. Where are you MsGuy??? I miss you..

I don't know much about this upcoming film but I can see it sure has some nice eye candy

Shows That Won't Be Back This Fall As TV networks set their fall schedules this month, the ax has already started to fall on a number of veteran shows. Read all about it... http://tv.yahoo.com/photos/shows-that-signed-off-in-2013-1368227305-slideshow/

This Sunday is Mother's Day so just a gentle reminder to remember her, especially on that day, whether she is still alive or has passed. My mom is in many ways in between. She is in her 90s and has dementia so she is still with us but isn't fully the same person I have known my whole life. Nevertheless she still has many aspects of her self that I remember so well and I focus on that as much as possible. I have always had a great deal of respect for my mom because for most of my young life she was a widow raising a family of four on her own. During that time she managed to raise a fine group of young men (if I do say so myself), put them all through college, get …

On Joan Rivers' "Fashion Police", one of the more popular segments is "Bitch stole my look", where they show photos of two "celebs" who are wearing the same outfit. They then vote on who wore it better. This is our version, so who wears it better? Robin Williams, aka Mrs. Doubtfire... Or Kim Kardashian?

Gay Istanbul – Tiptoe Through The Tulips When it comes to gay travel, Muslim countries probably are not at the top of the list for most of us. And while it's true that some Muslim countries are not very gay-friendly, that's not true for all of them. Turkey, in fact, is much more gay-positive than you would expect, which is probably why Istanbul has recently been rated one of the top gay tourist destinations in the world – and certainly the top one in the Arab world. If you've ever had a fantasy about doing or getting done by a hot Middle Eastern dude, Turkey is the safest and sanest place to do it. You'll be surrounded by history, be able to chill out in warm weather, …

There have been several threads that have discussed the value of review-based sites like tripadviser, with the general consensus being that you should take them with a pinch of salt, especially the most and the least favourable. This is borne out by an article in a recent Business Traveller magazine “A Matter of Opinion” I read yesterday en route to Taipei. One issue the article examines is fake reviews. We all know they are planted from time to time, but did you know that tripadviser receives an estimated 13,000 questionable reviews – per day? To investigate these, and indeed all submitted reviews, the site employs just 100 staff. Reviews do matter, and not just for tr…

This movie has more stars that I see when I look up to the sky. And, IMHO, they deliver. The movie was funny and witty and kept me laughing. It is a comedy and I really enjoyed all the humor. Has this made it to LOS yet? Others seen it?
