I seriously doubt that the rest of the world gives a flying fuck or even knows anything about this. Take a survey on Copacabana Beach (only because that would be my choice!) and see how many even know about it.

Well, then, consider this: “When we first began looking at the data, we were surprised to find that 1 in 10 men on Grindr in NYC had never received an HIV test and we quickly realized we needed to look further into the issue.” Further analysis showed that the proportion of older men getting tested for HIV was notably higher than that of the younger men, with 1 in 5 young MSM between the ages of 18-24 having never received an HIV test. Comparing these men to the overall population of NYC MSM indicated that a higher proportion of men on Grindr had never been tested for the disease (10% of Grindr users versus 2.6% of all NYC MSM).

Well said, Charlie. It's true that Oz has worked hard to create a great site. Now we have the city guides as well to attract people. Let's hope that some of them hang around for the message board. If they do, it will be because the lot of us have created something of interest for them. Oz can only do so much.

Oh, I know, it's up to the individual, but that doesn't mean others can't state their opinions too.

Lots of people will die today, many of whom actually helped further gay rights. Clancy was nowhere for us.

No interest in my novel. Well, that's okay. The e-book might have done well. Bot how about a novel where just a handful of people try to keep a message board afloat? Can a board succeed if most participate only rarely?

I hate to deceive anyone, so hito, read my sentence very carefully.

Yes, AS, glad that you are safe. But, please avoid such situations in the future!

I have never paid more than $19,000 for a weekend and I can't see that I ever will. I guess I'll miss out on those special guys who get 20,000!

I can see my novel making the best seller lists! "Message Board Murders- The UnLucky Ones!" But, could it happen in real life? Nah! Some thought it might though...http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/argument.asp

So, who is pictured? Damn hot!

LOL...no, not really. But he sure is hot. I wouldn't want him getting mad at me! See: http://www.tmz.com/2012/11/23/americas-next-top-model-rob-evans-felony-assault-turn-in-jail/

In the light of the primary come from behind victory of liberal public Advocate Bill De Blasio, defeating lesbian candidate and Bloomberg protege Christine Quinn, and the rising popularity of Senator Elizabeth Warren, I hope this indicates that liberals are no longer staying quiet. Disheartened at the failure of Obama to maintain his liberal campaign promises- that Hope and Change thing he kept touting- liberals have been too quiet. The NY Times yesterday provided a 30 minute video on why Quinn blew a huge lead: http://www.nytimes.com/video/2013/09/26/nyregion/100000002461740/hers-to-lose.html Her support for Bloomberg hurt her, especially as she backed a third term for him in violation of term limits. Her temperament was also questioned. DeBlasio paraded his young son, well-spoken with a huge Afro, before voters to let them know he was married to a black woman. But, he also had a more liberal record than did Quinn, who as Council speaker had to make alliances with a variety of groups that wouldn't have backed more liberal stances. The popularity of new Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren is also heartening. She is drawing increasingly large crowds as she campaigns on behalf of other candidates. Quickly being touted as an opponent of Hillary Clinton in a presidential run, she is just as quick to disclaim any interest in a presidential run. But, if she serves as a focus for liberals to rally around, it can only be a good thing. The NY Times again provides a look into Warren's rising popularity: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/30/us/politics/warren-is-now-the-hot-ticket-on-the-far-left.html?hp

No, no shortage of that or I'd be ten or twenty pounds lighter!

He was last active on September 16th, so maybe he is on a little vacation with Axiom.

Axiom was last active on September 16th. I hope he is having a good trip.

On your hand, dummy! Right along with the rest of them. But, the poster OneFinger last signed in on August 23d. I hope that he and Aces are okay.

He was last active on August 2d. We've heard from Axiom and Adam both since then!

Here is a rather bitchy negative review of Inferno, and Dan Brown's writing in general:http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/dan-brown-inferno-clive-james-da-vinci-code/#.UkhmOT_-uz5

Military flights are a hot topic in Palm Springs as they make so much noise and have been on the increase. At last, that was a few months ago. After the controversy arose, with those who didn't like the noise being called anti-American, the flights seem to have found another home. Ashville?

So, did you go to the Bel Ami anniversary party?

You are welcome! I enjoyed the experiences, so had to write them down to remember in my old age!

soytuyo.com is full of them. But, they are not necessarily good in bed.

My husband twice was hit on at Meo Mundo by older customers. Should he now escort? Ha! It's a package deal- I collect the money, he does the work!

Because I don't have cable tv, I didn't know of this model, Rob Evans. He's a judge on America's Top Model show, I learned when I Googled him. All I know is that my jaw dropped when I saw his pic in today's NY Times: Another photo: http://static.wetpaint.me/antm/ROOT/photos/310/rob-evans-facebook-3097916212010462849.jpg
