Casper will be sorely missed by some.

I have never heard of these shows or Ryan Murphy.

He's my favorite one so far.

hehehe...I feel like I am there with you! It's always nice to read of someone traveling to Thailand and having a good time. Thanks for sharing!

kennethinthe212.com is just one of several sites getting a kick out of this newspaper headline:

I still haven't read this novel, but kennethinthe212.com is touting it today: "Two Boys Kissing" by David Levithan Everyone's talking about this one since it made the 2013 National Book Award Longlist: In his follow-up to the New York Times bestselling "Every Day," David Levithan, co-author of bestsellers "Will Grayson, Will Grayson" and "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," tells the based-on-true-events story of Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new "Guinness World Record" — all of which is narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS. While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teen boys dealing with languishing long-term relationships, coming out, navigating gender identity, and falling deeper into the digital rabbit hole of gay hookup sites — all while the kissing former couple tries to figure out their own feelings for each other

There is a sinister cabal behind the scenes in the US government, and they run things. The Patriot Act, which took away so many of our liberties, was their baby. The increased snooping by the NSA was also theirs. Now we can expect a semi-major terrorist attack that will scare the bejesus out of the country, and these very guys will move right in to protect us by taking over the government as we know it. All of our rights will be temporarily suspended, and 88% of Americans will support them, as they fear some raghead in another country might leave his mule long enough to rape their daughter. It's all in the works, and I could probably get killed for revealing this. But, it will be worth it if I save boytoy.com.

As to ultracrepidarian, lookin says that "they" say it at the other site, but, in fact, only one person has used the word, and that was just two days ago. So, we are getting ahead of ourselves if we use the word "they" prematurely, Don't you think?

"Of course, as they say on the other site, I'm probably just being an ultracrepidarian" No doubt. But it's better to be an ultracrepidarian than a regular crepidarian, don't you think?

Lucky you!

So, we were about the same age when we stopped.

...was the last day I smoked a cigarette after 19 years of smoking. And you know what? It still shows up on my chest x-ray! Do you smoke? Cigarettes I didn't smoke!

gem147, what do you think? I think we have to go with the president we have.

Well, six of the justices were at the Roman Catholic "Red Mass." This is an annual celebration of the Catholic liturgy where many government officials join in prayer for the members of the judiciary. http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/30/record-number-of-justices-attends-red-mass/ One of the big cases before the Court this term will be Christian prayer at public meetings. Wonder how Roberts plans to vote on that? BTW, now that Pope Francis wants the clergy lowering their bling, why not wear simpler garments and do away with the pointed hats? It sure would be in keeping with the new Church, wouldn't it? Look at Roberts. he is the Chief Justice, but doesn't need a fancy outfit.

My question is why wasn't Obama on top of the Obamacare roll-out, making sure that no mistakes were made and that Obamacare looked like a winner. Instead we got flawed sign up and an ultimate closure to fix things. Given that repealing Obamacare is supposedly what the shutdown is all about, you'd think they would put their best foot forward in introducing it. But no, they fucked it up instead. The news is all about how hard it was to sign up instead of how many people were finally getting medical care.

I found PV to be very safe. The downtown area seems to be a no-go zone for locals unless they have a job there or other valid reason to be there. Everyone spoke English- fluently! It was almost like being in a Disney version of Mexico. Be sure to go to the site of the Taylor-Burton film cum romance. It's pretty neat and is an easy bus ride away.

tomcal...tomcal...Brazill.. yes, um huh, ...boys...lots of boys...yes, it's coming back to me...tomcal OH! TOMCAL! You mean he is back???!!!??? Well then, welcome back!

If we only knew that the camera was going to provide every guy a chance to pose naked in 2013... But, 1918 was also a good year for chocolate malts.

Your pillow covers don't match.

I thought that my editing was not going through because it did not return me to the page but stayed on the editing page. But, when I peeked at the post, it was, in fact, edited. It just doesn't automatically return you to the thread as it did before.

New problem- No matter that I sign out each time I leave, I am always signed in when I return.

Once went to a Broadway show- Joe Egg, or something like that, and they filled the balcony with high school kids who had obviously not been to a play. When the character on stage would ask a question, they would shout out an answer. It went downhill from there. But somehow we have to introduce the young to the theater. Perhaps the musical version of The Return of Ms Guy? Singing, dancing, what more could you want?

It's raining men, no doubt! October is when they had the bad floods last year, or the year before, I think. Obviously my memory of this is failing me! Thanks for the pic.

19 hours since we last had a pic! Firecat, are you sleeping? Hey, just kidding. I enjoy your reports, and pix always help me understand the more complicated parts!

Very interesting story, EXPAT. And first in your class, too!
