Anyone use Evernote.com? It is a service that allows you to upload notes, photos, documents, snapshots, etc. I have just started using this and have enjoyed it so far as I think a good way to store things I often forget. It has an Iphone app that I have not tested yet. Apparently, you can take a snapshot photo of a business card and it will read it into the site. Has anyone else used this site? Service?

I picked this up at towleroad.com: A 41-year-old man has been arrested by police and charged under the country's sodomy laws after having consensual gay sex with a 17-year-old, the AP reports: The age of sexual consent in Grenada is 16 but while the sex in question was consensual, local law prohibits sodomy under the charge of "unnatural connection." Grenada is one of several Caribbean nations that has laws banning sex between men. The penalty in most islands, including Grenada, is up to 10 years in prison, although Barbados and Guyana have life imprisonment, according to a 2010 United Nations report. (And when I say don't go there, it's because of the anti-gay laws, …

Following the international Football Federation (FIFA) awarding the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar respectively, I wrote in December on another Board about corruption within FIFA and in particular about the autocratic style of its President, Sepp Blatter. I’ll quote part of one post because in the last few weeks FIFA has now become totally embroiled in a whole variety of corruption allegations – and Blatter himself is finally under investigation. http://gaybuttonthai.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1966 Today, according to the BBC’s website - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/13574338.stm

There are other sites on the internet besides this one wherein guys post their thoughts much as we do, and occasionally someone comes along and complains. In this case, the "someone" hasn't posted on the site since September 15, 2009, yet he says people write to him when they are upset with something about the site. Really. Here's the quote: "It's not just you and it's not limited to that travel thread. I think this is generally something many members - if I'm to believe the emails I've received, which prompted me to take a look - are finding to be a turn-off." Get that? He doesn't read the site anymore, has no interest in it, by golly. But when the folks email him, wel…

So it's Fleet Week in New York and this is the first Fleet Week where the sailor boys will actually be able to hook up with dudes instead of babes. Should make The Cock and various other gay bars interesting places to be for the week.

Sure, some people feel full of themselves, others are a bunch of hot air. But New Zealand truck driver Steve McCormack can claim that it wasn't his fault after an air hose became lodged in his buttocks during a freak injury and he soon started the inflation process. He's lucky to be alive, they say. Read the story here: A truck driver in New Zealand nearly popped after an air hose accidently got lodged in his buttocks... "I felt the air rush into my body and I felt like I was going to explode," he told 3News in New Zealand on Tuesday.

The linked NY Times article talks about the problems maids can have with guests. Most of them involve a man exposing himself to the maid. As I was reading the article, I thought that it would never occur to me to think of the maid in a sexual manner. But, of course, most maids are female. I then remembered a night in Bangkok some 20 years ago at a very luxurious hotel. Two guys were doing the night time turn-down service while I was in the room. I probably did look at one of them a second too long, but he apparently didn't mind. When his colleague went to get towels, he came up and kissed me. Well, I kissed back. So, it could happen, but never by force! (BTW- I was fully…

If you are taking Niacin to raise your good cholesterol, you know the side effects. Now, the NY Times reveals a study showing that niacin is worthless in raising good cholesterol. The US (Obama) is trying to withhold secret information from the judge in a case involving CIA matters. She is quoted as saying she is "literally speechless" at the government's assertions. Two prominent U.S. Senators warned the American people today that the Patriot Act is being widely misused.Ron Wyden, a Democrat and member of the Senate Intelligence committee, said" I want to issue a warning this afternoon: When the American people find out how their government has secretly interpreted the…

May 25, 2011 Letter to Arne Duncan A letter from David Reber, who teaches high school biology in Lawrence KS Mr. Duncan, I read your Teacher Appreciation Week letter to teachers, and had at first decided not to respond. Upon further thought, I realized I do have a few things to say. I'll begin with a small sample of relevant adjectives just to get them out of the way: condescending, arrogant, insulting, misleading, patronizing, egotistic, supercilious, haughty, insolent, peremptory, cavalier, imperious, conceited, contemptuous, pompous, audacious, brazen, insincere, superficial, contrived, garish, hollow, pedantic, shallow, swindling, boorish, predictable, duplicitou…

Does anyone play the games on Facebook? Thomas from the Corner Bar got me addicted to them about a week ago and I have been obsessed with them ever since. They are fun to play but for those of us that have little self control, it is easy to spend real money to get upgrades to different things faster. I always wondered how games like Farmville was able to make money. Now I know. Millionaire City is a Digital Chocolate game that the guys at Corner Bar recommended. Here is the city I have built. Anyone else have cities? Farms? Islands? Other gaming experiences?

I think it is Country Idol tonight. . . There is no doubt that Scotty is going to win hands down. My "sources" at Fox have told me that Scotty has had more votes than all the others combined for weeks mainly because of the southern vote and the little girl vote. But I have to say that this performance by Lauren Alaina was an amazing performance and my favorite of the season. Lauren has been my favorite from the start. She will do well as long as she gets the right help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-9ncI3NVsg

Dancing with the stars had a bit of a twist ending tonight. Hines won - as expected. I would have preferred to see it go to Chelsea but that was not to be. What blew me away was that Chelsea was eliminated leaving Hines and the Sherman Tank as the last two standing. Absolutely not a dancing competition - nothing but a pure popularity contest. How could anyone with eyes & a brain think The Tank was a better dancer than Chelsea? :frantics: The hit of the night for me was Josh Grobin singing while Dimitri danced in the tightest white pants imaginable. What a perfect ass that man has.

The hunt for a hooker in Midtown proved a little more difficult over the weekend as Atlanta police posed as gay men seeking sex and busted scores of alleged prostitutes. The arrests of 50 alleged male hookers along corridors long known for gay sex for sale—Cypress Street near Peachtree Street, as well as Ponce de Leon Avenue—came as the Atlanta Police Department notched 79 arrests in a days-long sting that ended Sunday. Operation Summer Heat included 61 arrests for prostitution—50 men and 11 women, eight “johns” seeking a prostitute, and 10 narcotics arrests. In addition, seven vehicles were impounded and $1,000 was seized, according to the Atlanta Police Department. Th…

A company has started selling luxury condoms for $56 a package. Naked condoms use latex that is thinner and softer than the latex used in other brands' "ultra thin" condoms. They feature a hypoallergenic lubrication that is 10 times slicker and more expensive than the standard lube and an easy-tear wrapper with six layers of foil that took the company three years to develop. And the packaging, Ireland says, is elegant enough to double as nightstand décor. The biggest difference, however, is in Naked's patented "pleasure fit" design. Around 85 percent of males have a penile width of roughly 52 millimeters. In order to get a custom fit for each user, Naked condoms come …

First let me say that if this belongs in another forum feel free to move it, since i am discussing the costs of Brazil vs. Europe(prague) and a lesser extent the U.S. I wasn't sure were to put it! Europe is starting to be more Price attractive than Brazil, while both are still considerably less expensive for hourly escort rates than the U.S. After just getting back from Prague and getting reservations made for a return trip to Rio in June, I started thinking about the costs of paying for sex in Brazil, Europe and here in the U.S. and the changes in the past year or so. Brazil used to be a travel bargain for Hotel, food , and sex! But with Brazil becoming a world forc…

After hearing that the Westboro Baptist Church wanted to picket last night's show, comedian Lisa Lampanelli said that for every person who showed up to protest, she would donate $1,000 to charity Gay Men's Health Crisis, "the nation's oldest HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care services provider": Lisa tells TMZ, "It's gonna be hilarious to write out the checks to the GMHC and have them send thank you notes to the WBC for their 'generous contributions.'" "I'd love to see their inbred faces when they open those thank you notes! Hopefully their jaws will drop so fast that their three remaining teeth and cro-magnon foreheads will plummet to the floor." http://j…
