Would that be another characteristic of an addict? To assume that everything is about him? Sad to say, Mr. Smith, but you are not the only addict in my frame of reference. As to what you are addicted to, I leave that to you to figure out.

Did you actually read the novel?

Marvin Lee Aday turns 65 today. His homage to the soft penis is world famous, as he named himself Meat Loaf and became a bat out of hell, singing his way to the top. But just what is it that he won't do for love?

That was my writing up until the quote. I wish you the best of luck with your gambling addiction, Four Aces. One year is a good time. But any addict will tell you that fighting addiction is a lifelong process. My post was about an addict i know who wants everyone to believe that he has turned over a new leaf. I think he is just fooling himself, and,unfortunately, fooling others too.

Many of us have known people who got caught up in drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other behavior where it became compulsive for them. Addicts can cause those who care about them great pain. As much as we rejoice when an addict seeks help, as much as we want to support him, we are still treading dangerous waters. Many addicts seek help only as a means of keeping the trust of those who support them. They are not sincere. Soon their lies become transparent, and then, among the many tears, there are often promises to do better. Few addicts are capable of curing themselves. It is not enough for a drug addict to avoid drugs, or a sex addict to avoid the internet sites that lead him to sexual activities. They must stay away from them altogether. They must get help. And help takes a long time. No addict is cured in 30 days. Most need a longer time, they need a mentor and a support group. Yet the insincere addict will still try to manipulate people. Even the most devoted rehabber will occasionally slip. Thus, it must be said: "Never, Never, NEVER Trust a Drug Addict!! Did I say "never" enough? No, but I have limited space. One of the things you get to see when you are a drug rehab intake counselor is the incredible deceit and lying of most drug addicts and alcoholics. You think you've seen lying by pros? These people make Bernie Madoff look like a child in kindergarten lying about a stolen tricycle that he is sitting on right in front of you! They are expert liars. It's unfortunate and sad. However, the people I feel the most empathy for are the parents of the addict. Many of these people have spent over $100,000 to try to help their child with addiction. Hope is a resilient emotion. It truly does spring eternal and is a credit to the amount of love parent's have for their child no matter their age. Unfortunately, their hope often gets shattered over and over again like the waves of the ocean hitting a rocky shoreline. The actual success rate for most drug rehabs is not that good." From: http://www.drugrehab...rug-addict.html We all want our friends who have gone down the wrong path to find their way. But rarely are we equipped to do the work they need. Urge your addict friends to seek help, to stick with it, and to avoid the places that led them into temptation in the first place.

So my suspicion is warranted.

Well, I described the whole Honey Boo hullabaloo as despicable, yet Adam Smith responded to that by saying "You're Despicable." Is he speaking to me?

Huh?

It's despicable, just despicable!

I thought that "Dublin Short Report" would be a commentary on Irish cock sizes!

What's nice about these forums is that we have a wealth of experience and a variety of unique perspectives and viewpoints. When the forum is jumping, we share and help others benefit from what we have learned. Younger posters can offer a unique perspective that makes the older, poster stop and think, often reevaluating what he thinks in light of the new information.so, if we can avoid the urge to tell others how to live their lives, and admit that each of us has something to offer, we could. Get some great discussions going. That's what excites me most about the arrival of Mcamp. He is obviously smart and well-spoken, and with his viewpoints added to the mix, perhaps others will feel safe in sharing some of their own experiences. Many of us are in long tem relationships. How we got there and how we keep them going could make for a good discussion just as much as a discussion of how relationships fail It's 5 a.m., so maybe I didn't express that so well, butI am optimistic that we may be turning a corner here and that Mcamp will be an important part of that. Btw, the IPad is not the best means for typing your thoughts as it often thinks it can say things better than I can! All typos above are due to my lovely IPad!

Jesus' wife was a very holy woman who wore a veil to cover her hair and never raised her voice. She was a model of happiness as well as cleanliness, and why not? Cleanliness was next to godliness,and she sure was!

It's rare that a birthday gets missed around here, but shocking that the 30th birthday of the emoticon may have gone unnoticed had I not seen the story on the NY Daily News. The happy face has become a universally loved symbol, and spawned many a child. Think how unhappy it would have looked had we ignored it! The News reports: The computer symbol for “not serious” or now more generally “happiness,” made up of a colon, dash and a right parenthesis, was born into existence at 11:44 a.m. on September 19, 1982, when it was posted on an online bulletin board by Carnegie Mellon computer scientist Scott Fahlman. “If someone made a sarcastic remark, a few readers would fail to get the joke, and each of them would post a lengthy diatribe in response,” Fahlman explained in a post on Carnegie Mellon’s website about the invention of the sideways smile. “The problem caused some of us to suggest (only half seriously) that maybe it would be a good idea to explicitly mark posts that were not to be taken seriously,” he added. “In the midst of that discussion it occurred to me that the character sequence :-) would be an elegant solution ... So I suggested that.” Fahlman also suggested the reverse — what has come to be known as a sad face — by using the other parenthesis marker. Read more: http://www.nydailyne...2#ixzz26yhHhuNr

A friend of mine says he is not gay, but he gave me his memoirs to read, and I can tell you: He's gay. Aside from that, remember that some people are sex addicts. Any living thing will do for some of them. Okay, any living human.

Why would anyone give Peggy Noonan the time of day? I doubt that anyone listens to her.

The LA Times today saves me the task of writing my review as it presents a lengthy article, with pictures, on the show: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...,4044722.story The bf and I enjoyed the show last week. My addition to the Times article would be to commend Telly Leung on his excellent performance, Lea Salonga on her excellent voice, and the supporting cast, including in particular Michael K. Lee as a very able actor who plays Salonga's love interest in the show. No one cared, or so it seems, about the internment of Japanese-Americans during the war, so it may be a hard to task to find an audience who cares, especially if the show wants a Broadway move. It's kind of like the gay play which we all find endearing, but cannot make a hit of it without broader support. Allegiance will no doubt undergo some modifications as they figure what works best and what doesn't. For my part, the songs seemed interchangeable with the standard Broadway anthems. I walked away, not humming a tune, but thinking what a powerful voice Salonga has. Given that the show has some heavy moments, it did seem long, even though it clocked out at 2:10 with intermission. The audience gave it a standing ovation, which is more common out here than in New York. One footnote: Also in the cast is Paolo Montalban, who plays the controversial figure Mike Masaoka, who was, in effect, the Japanese uncle Tom. Yet Montalban once played the Prince in a Disney movie of Cinderella, and had gay hearts swooning across America. He is still cute, but his boyish charm is now the property of Telly, who has it in spades.

Those major leaguers do know how to show appreciation to their teammates!

Their shape has always been an attraction for me. I love to rim guys with candy corn up their ass. That's a trick and treat!

This college football player was kicked off his team when his teammates saw him kissing his boyfriend- his 65 year old boyfriend! The facts: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2012/09/10/college-football-player-kicked-off-team-after-he-outs-himself-to-team-during-a-game

You two need to get a room!

Just in time for the Halloween season, the Oreo cookie is going orange! Yes, candy corn orange. Instead of that milky white flavor, they are giving us the famed candy corn flavor from our days of trick or treating. I don't eat Oreos, but I did once like candy corn. One has to be careful in buying it, because as with most things these days, they use high fructose corn syrup to sweeten it, and candy corn is best when made with sugar. I might even buy one of these candy corn Oreos! The new taste treat:

Well, I am officially a diagnosed heterosexual. When I was young and feeling conflicted about my attractions, I went to a psychiatrist, aptly named Dr. Miracle. He said that if I was gay, I would have acted on it by then, which meant I would have had gay sex, and I had not. So I felt better for about ten minutes, until my gay lust started popping up again.

Today's NY Times reminds us that the Supreme Court will be having a say in this election: "In the last few weeks, nearly a dozen decisions in federal and state courts on early voting, provisional ballots and voter identification requirements have driven the rules in conflicting directions, some favoring Republicans demanding that voters show more identification to guard against fraud and others backing Democrats who want to make voting as easy as possible. The most closely watched cases — in the swing states of Ohio and Pennsylvania — will see court arguments again this week, with the Ohio dispute possibly headed for a request for emergency review by the Supreme Court."

We can see many threads that received no responses at all. Are we being told that our thread is utterly boring? Prabal Gurung In TIME Started by Lucky, Yesterday, 02:06 PM HAL 9000 Simulator Started by AdamSmith, 07 Sep 2012 Cover Me 2 Times Baby Started by FourAces, 06 Sep 2012
