My point exactly. BTW, the s&h is $3.99, not $3.00. I regret the error.

I don't much like cats. In fact, I don't much like it when people send me trite sayings that are supposed to be inspiring. One friend sends these constantly, so I gave him his own email address to send them to. I never go to it. I know that it is well-meaning, but do you really think one statement, even said in a funny way, is going to make much difference? And do you think I cannot find inspiration on my own- that you have to send it to me? Isn't that arrogant?

When I told my sister that a used copy of a book she really wanted was available through Amazon, she asked me "Who sells a book for a nickel?" Apparently, lots of people. Amazon has helped the used book seller flourish, and selling books for as low as a nickel indeed. Take this one example: I bought a book through the Amazon marketplace for a nickel. It is supposed to be in "very good" condition. Now, I have yet to receive it, but in the past only one order failed, and for that I got a quick refund. The catch is that there is an additional charge of $3.00 for postage and handling. Even if only one dollar of that goes to handling, this used book dealer is raking in the dough. Take a look: My chart gets ruined every time I click post. But in the last year, they have had feedback from almost 200,000 customers, and in their history another million more. They have very positive feedback, but look at the number of customers reporting back. Surely not every customer reports back, so this indicates that they do a substantial business. In the last year, almost 200,000 feedbacks. Now for a dollar apiece, that's big bucks! And there are a multitude of sellers on Amazon. I don't know where they get the books or how much they pay for them, but it must be quite profitable if so many sellers exist. I would take 1, 211, 386 dollars for selling used books!

"Delpopolo, who secured his place in the London Games by winning the sport’s first hour of power fight-off, earning the final spot on the United States judo team, now owns another place in history. He is the first athlete to be ousted for a positive drug test while the 2012 Olympics were in progress. “My positive test was caused by my inadvertent consumption of food that I did not realize had been baked with marijuana, before I left for the Olympic Games,” Delpopolo said in a statement. “I apologize to U.S. Olympic Committee, to my teammates, and to my fans, and I am embarrassed by this mistake. I look forward to representing my country in the future, and will rededicate myself to being the best judo athlete that I can be.” NYTimes.com

Should he be lookin for a new role in life? Nicholas Delpopolo has been disqualified at the Olympics after a positive result for marijuana. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/olympics/article-2184436/Nicholas-Delpopolo-disqualified-London-Olympics-failed-drugs-test.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

Aging is not pretty. But my guess is that many guys make it a positive process. When I posted those photos along with JMV's latest photo, I realized that someone could do the same to me- not that I was a hot movie star, but I don't look like my younger days by far. JMV went through two bad car accidents and alcoholism, and that surely took a toll on the world's greatest athlete.

CNN has picked up the story, and we hear from the young man who had sex with the HIV positive man: http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/02/health/criminalizing-hiv/index.html?hpt=hp_bn12

He was soo sexy! The World's greatest Athlete- I had to go see it even though I didn't know I was gay. And then in Buster & Billy he showed his cock! And now:

I saw it four times at the age of nine.(No, I had to have been ten.) The actor, Tommy Kirk, is now 70. He's on the right below:

Then you would like 11/22/63, because, in my opinion, the first half is the best part of the novel.

Yeah, my headline was a bit misleading. The NYFD thought it was too hot for Twitter, not hat it really was.

hitoallusa is in Beijing- that's my guess.

Some people seem to run when books come up. It goes back to their grade school teacher trying to force them to read things they did not enjoy...I think! In my family, we rushed to the library each week, came home with a stack of books, then wolfed them down and went back for more. I still do that.

I know that I am going to do everything I can to make it a successful landing!

I think hitoall is in Palm Desert!

People who say they liked Tree of Life are just being pseudo intellectuals. They want us to think that only they could see the greatness in this movie mess. Two of my favorite movies are Old Yeller and Harold and Maude. I liked The Godfather too.

A NY firefighter has seen his sexy photo removed from twitter. Find out why: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/fdny_hose_pic_yanked_XeXBujKwgiOFGwMrzXe93H

I wanted to book a trip to Chicago to see a play, but it turned out that all of the non-stop flights cost 50,000 miles. So I though maybe it wasn't worth it. The cost to fly was $314. But, if I added that to the cost of hotels, etc, it made the trip not so worth it. So I stewed about it all day. Then I remembered that I had an AAdvantage credit card that rewarded "Thank You" points which were the equivalent of miles, so I checked to see what that would do for me. Bingo. I not only got the non-stop flights, I got them for 23,500 miles and no $10.00 fee. I had a few points left in the account, so I booked a rental car that cost me nothing in money, and the points I used would not have been enough to use on a flight so would have been wasted. Then I went to book the play, and found that they had set back one week the sale of individual tickets. Only subscribers could buy now. I wrote the box office to ask why they did that, and explained that I had plans to make. They wrote back and gave me a code I could use to buy my ticket now! So, yes, a little work, but I got what I wanted at less cost than I was willing to pay. I realize that you might not care, but I had to tell someone!

My brother has also been recommending this movie, but, it is up to me if I see it!

Adam Smith, Harasser of Chick-Fil-A Employee, Apologizes: VIDEO Yesterday, Andy reported on the firing of Adam Smith -- the avowedly, loudly heterosexual Tucson man whose video of himself berating a Chick-fil-A employee went viral this week. It seems Mr. Smith reported to work the day after posting his video and learned that his employer, the medical supply company Vante, had been pelted with hate mail and angry phone messages in the night. Smith was first instructed not to post any further videos, and then he was canned. Having been canned, he was able to post more videos, and did Read more: http://www.towleroad.com/2012/08/adam-smith-harasser-of-chick-fil-a-employee-apologizes-video.html#ixzz22b7aFkAW

Looks to me like he is going for the gold!

Yes, of course it is. But so far the court has not upheld his argument, even if it looks likely that they will. BTW, it sure looked like no one was home here, so it was gratifying to know that you were monitoring the board should terrorist strike!

If Craig had said that he had immunity from criminal prosecution while traveling as a member of Congress, he would have been laughed at. This is the same to me. Once he began breaking the law, he was not on official business.
