It is sad when anyone passes on. But when you get sucked into that type of lifestyle (the drink and drugs) and don't have the power to say no what do you expect? It will be interesting to see the "official" cause of her passing. I've always gotten bad vibes from her lawyer friend Howard. Something about him just isn't right. Hugs, Greg

Aside from the person whom I am not sure who it is I come to the message boards and not just these to find folk with common interests. I enjoy a few things while not working like, scooters, Madonna (duh), coffee (yummy!!!), hooking, traveling and an internet game called neopets (I'm a geek). Trying to find a few people or just one who is interested in all that in person is impossible and there aren't enough hours in a day to hang out with everyone who is. So the message boards make it easy to find those who enjoy the things I do. I've met a lot of great people on the boards in person during my travels that I might have not met if it weren't for the boards. So in that respect I am glad that technology has advanced. It also reminds me that the world really is a small place. Hugs, Greg

Oz have you ridden (on a bike) the distance that is stated on the website? 545 miles is nothing to take lightly. IF you chose to do such a ride it would be very wise to start training now! I'm sure that the this is a great charitable thing but if you aren't in the physical shape to take on such a feat you'll be wishing after a few miles you hadn't signed up. Just my half cents worth of babble. Hugs, Greg

>Greg, >You`re already committed or maybe should be ?. wink* >Actually mi amigo is in a long distance relationship and has >been for 7 years however ???.We all gotta sow those seeds now >and again.;-) >Safe only on both our parts.

Chi Chi?

There is much homework to be done between now and March, my target date to have all papers signed and started on the build out for the shop. But I am very lucky to know a few people in banking, law and some great artists. I know that it'll be hard work and a few more gray hairs gained from what will come but hopefully the classes I am taking at Coffee Fest out in Chicago next month will help me avoid some of the pot holes that might come my way I've been doing coffee now for about 10 years and well why do what I love and line someone else's pockets? Hugs, Greg

TP whether using CL or any other site it is always best to be on your toes and think with the right head. I think that if the roles were reversed I would use one of the review sites for the better results. Have fun in SF and be sure to let us know how things went. Hugs, Greg

If he is cute why not just be blunt and tell him you wanna quick fuck? And stress the word quick. Either he will say sure and make it quick or he will be so put off he'll walk away. Hugs, Greg

At the end of the day it shouldn't be about how much money one is bringing home but how much they enjoy what they are doing. I'd rather have a low paying job that I enjoy rather then a high paying one that I hate. I know call me crazy but my happiness is more valuable then a job that stresses me out and hate. Other then a good romp my other enjoyment is coffee. The smell, buzz, taste, hot topics and romance are what I love about it. My goal is to get my shit together and have my own shop opened by the middle of next year. Hugs, Greg

There is a saying that beans that are roasted dark often times are trying to hide the imperfections of the bean. Like you I try very very very hard to avoid them at all cost. Even though I don't care for Seattle as a whole I do have to give props for the area for having some of the BEST coffee like Vivace and Zoka's. Coffee is my life it's all I wanted to do since I was hrm about 15. Yes I was introduced to coffee offically by Starbucks but as my palate has gotten better I know that there is much much better out there then Starbucks. The best thing Starbucks has going for it is it's marketing. Sometimes one must take off the rose colored glasses and see them for what they really are. Hugs, Greg

Those are very pretty pictures but it should be noted that the designs have not been fully approved. What people are seeing is more or less a prototype. Although I have to say that if they adopt what is shown it would definately make flying a lot nicer. Hugs, Greg

This is great news! On what was supposed to be my first trip to NY last summer Stonewall was on my list of to do's. Unfort. I got the tummy flu so I am going to go to NY late spring, early summer and glad to see that it'll be open for biz when I get out that way. Hugs, Greg

You might see if there is a consiment (sp) store for mens clothes in your area or try putting them up on ebay. This way you earn some extra spending money for the holidays or April 15th and someone who enjoys the fancy labels can enjoy them for a fraction of the cost. Hugs, Greg P.S. If you have quite a few things and decide to go the ebay route see if there is a www.bidadoo.com local near you or something similar.

I've read on a travel forum how some make getting bumped a game to see how much they can get from the airline. I think I remember reading that one person got bumped about 4 times and of course each time getting travel vouchers and food coupons for the venders at the airport he was flying out of.

With the holiday season here there are going to be quite few rookies out there flying. So here is a small travel tip for those who don't fly that often. I found it on USA Today's website http://www.usatoday.com/travel/columnist/m...-21-mcgee_x.htm Learning your rights You know the drill. The gate area gets crowded; a line of passengers starts snaking past the check-in counter; a supervisor huddles with the agents over the reservations computer; the handheld radios are taken out; and then you brace yourself for those announcements. The first announcement may be good news for some passengers. That's when airline agents ask for volunteers to fly on a later flight, and sweeten the pot with vouchers and mileage bonuses. You may choose to opt for such a deal, but remember: Once you accept, you're waiving certain rights and could be bumped again. It's the second announcement that could hurt. That's when you're called — by name — to the podium and told you've been denied boarding. Don't turn red and don't bother threatening to sue. Airline attorneys have already worked out the fine print. And — surprise! — it's not in your favor. Not surprisingly to those familiar with federal protections for airline passengers, the rules in Europe are much more consumer-friendly than in the United States. The European Union recently revamped its compensation rules for flights departing from EU countries. Previously, passengers were compensated with 150 euros for all flights up to 3,500 km; now it's 250 euros for flights up to 1,500 km and 400 euros for flights from 1,500 to 3,500 km. And whereas before the compensation was 300 euros for all flights longer tan 3,500 km, now it's 600 euros in those cases. In addition, the EU provides unambiguous guidelines for meals and accommodations. As for the domestic market, unfortunately our own DOT is neither as clear nor as firm in its policies. You'll have to do some digging on the DOT's website — or your airline's own site — to find the particulars. But the good news is you do have some protections. In June 2004, the DOT issued a Report of Passengers Denied Confirmed Space to the largest domestic carriers, and that report was amended in April 2006. While it requires airlines to report all bumped passengers to the DOT, it also clarified that "compensation paid" should include only cash or checks. In other words, in many cases airlines will attempt to offer you a voucher or free ticket, which of course is good for the carrier since it will bring you — and possibly others — back for another flight. But with restrictions such as black-out dates, it may not be good for you. So remember: You have the right to request cash or a check. Not all bumps are alike There are a couple of things to keep in mind about denied boardings. The DOT mandates that the largest airlines report all cases, with three exceptions: 1) when the passenger is accommodated within one hour of the original flight; 2) when the passenger "fails to comply with ticketing, check-in, or reconfirmation procedures" properly and/or timely; and 3) when an aircraft of small capacity is substituted. This last provision may not seem fair, but rules are rules. Also, bumping statistics don't include shuttle services, such as the hourly flights operated by Delta and US Airways on the triangular routes connecting Boston, New York and Washington. The reasoning is simple: No one on a shuttle flight is "bumped" because an extra-section flight can always be rolled out if an airplane fills up. But I can tell you from my experience working as an Operations Control duty manager for the Pan Am Shuttle that theory and practice don't always coalesce. Even so, the shuttle exclusion raises a key issue: Not all bumps are equivalent. Getting bumped from a "spoke" airport, an international flight or a route that's not frequently served can be a painful experience. But getting bumped by a carrier with many flight frequencies on a given route usually is not a dire situation, especially if the airline can accommodate you on the next departure. Take Southwest, for example. Traditionally, the low-cost carrier has ranked high in bumping passengers yet generates relatively few consumer complaints in the monthly reports filed with the DOT. Sounds like a dichotomy, no? Not really. Southwest is known for saturating a market with multiple flight frequencies and quick turn-arounds, so bumping often means a delay of only an hour or two. Even so, Southwest has improved its bumping percentages recently. It's a mixed bag when flying commuter carriers. Obviously the risk of getting bumped is higher on an airplane with fewer seats. But on the other hand, commuters often ply routes with frequent service. Tips for doing the bump There are some things you can do to help avoid being bumped. There are also some strategies to better deal with the situation if you are bumped. What follows are some tips for the next time an airline wants to take your seat away: • You may not want to hear it, but here are three words of advice: Early, early, early. Arriving at the airport late, checking in late and arriving at the gate late are all leading indicators that you've just been voted The Passenger Most Likely to be Bumped. Airline employees tell me that checking in early usually reduces the chances you'll get bumped. • If the airline suggests you call or log on to confirm your reservation, don't forget to do so. Although in many cases that rule has been eliminated, it's still a good idea to confirm, particularly for an international flight. • The sooner you obtain a boarding pass, the better. If your airline allows you to print it out at home the day before your departure, do so. • When you have connecting flights, ask about getting boarding passes for all legs if possible. • Don't throw away any paperwork that's been issued to you, including reservation confirmations, tickets, boarding cards, etc. • Keep good records. Always record dates, times, airline(s), flight numbers, airports and employee names and/or identification numbers. • If you do get bumped, it's your right to insist on cash or check compensation; you do not have to accept tickets or vouchers. • If you're delayed for several hours or even overnight, invoke the airline's Contract of Carriage provisions for providing phone cards, meals, accommodations, etc. • If you'd like to volunteer to be bumped, consider asking about cash compensation. Also, don't forget to inquire about meals and accommodations if you'll be delayed for a while waiting for your next flight. For once, you're in a position to bargain a little bit with an airline, so make the most of it. • Whether the bumping is voluntary or not, ask about the status of your checked bags. It's usually problematic when passengers and luggage travel separately. • Remember: Always stay calm and polite, no matter what. If you have a gripe about an airline, file a complaint with the DOT: • Call 202-366-2220 (TTY 202-366-0511) • Write to Aviation Consumer Protection Division, C-75, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 7th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C., 20590 • Send an email to airconsumer@dot.gov Hope those who are flying this holiday season fly safe and smart. Don't forget 3 ounces of liquid or less. The liquids must be in a 3 ounce container. At least that was what the TSA agent was yelling out when I flew back in October.

My guess for these busts is simple. On the ballot was a proposition to repeal the 4 foot rule for strippers in clubs. It passed, the girls can now once again be able to do lap dances and make money. This was a major upset for the Mayor and the city counsel. For quite a long time now the city counsel kept renewing this rule. So to make it look like they are protecting average Joe citizen they are just moving their ops to another field. This is such a waste of my tax money. The mayor of Seattle is starting to get a big ego and I can't wait to bust it with my vote if he decides to run for office again x(

Hotel Clinton is a nice hotel. I was there a couple years ago so not sure how it is now but it was a nice hotel ok sized rooms, simple yet tactful decor, nice hotel staff, only a couple blocks from the beach at the most and big showers. Gotta conserve that water }( Hugs, Greg

Townsend I have to agree with you on this. With a few exceptions a lot of guys in their late teens early 20's are all over the place. Parting and more parting is what is on many of their minds in my experiences. Plus if one is looking for a mental connection too trying to do so with someone who is more concerned with what Paris Hilton is wearing rather then the state of affairs around the world or other matters. Plus in my experiences us older folk (25-60's) tend to be more open and trying out new things }( Glad you had an enjoyable time in Vegas. Are we going to get a steamy review? Hugs, Greg

>Well guys, I guess we are all differnt. I know body and knew >my bowels were not full so I chose to do nothing side of >making sure I had just showered. All went well, and my was it >an amazing flip flop sesssion of crossing over new lines. > > YEAH!!! I'm glad to hear things went well for you. Like you said everyones body is a bit different and well no one will know your body like you. Sometimes it takes some self prodding and just listening to what it's tell ya, which it sounds like you may have done. Being a btm can be just as fun if not more fun then topping. I am slowly discovering my top side and still up in the air on which I like better. Although I do know I make a better bottom but with practice I know I can master being a top. Good luck and happy bottoming Hugs, Greg
