Google "rudeness at Costco" and you will find that many people think like me- Costco has the rudest customers of any store in the world! They stop in the middle of the aisle to chat, they stop right in the entrance, they are pushy with those big carts, they leave those big carts anywhere they feel like it outside the store...etc, etc, etc! Here is one guy's story: Rudeness At The Costco: A Queer Guy Rant! By The Queer Guy, October 29, 2010 at 3:00 pm I will admit to loving costco as much as the next homo; I can usually find something there each time that I know I will like, need or use. But, I am not one that stocks up on things just to do so; I don't have room in my condo for that. But what I cannot stand about this place is the housewives; and you know who you are. You have nothing better to do or anywhere to be so you go to Costco for free-sample lunch! You guys are so freaking rude, it's unreal; let me explain! First:STOP CROWDING THE PEOPLE MAKING THE SAMPLES! Come on ladies (and I use that term lightly) give her a break. If I was one of these little old ladies and had all these women rudely looking at me (as if I was inconvenience them by making them wait) I would loose it! Trust me, there are enough samples and if not, she will make more; It's not like she is giving away free samples of diamonds! This brings me to my second point: When you crowd around the food, you block EVERYONE else from getting by! I actually experienced this today! As I approached the group of starved women, I said "excuse me" to this free sample seeker and she said "NO"! I couldn't believe it! I tried to explain to her that I wasn't trying to get in front of her, just trying to get by; she just stood there! REALLY?! If you are that hungry, then I will buy you lunch, what ever it takes, just get the hell out of my way! It blows my mind that such a small thing (like a bite sized free food sample) will turn grown women into rude predators ready to pounce on anyone that gets in their way! Like these women, I do enjoy the samples, but I am not willing to be outright rude to others just to obtain a tasty treat! If you people actually realized how disgraceful you acted, I think you would be ashamed! Be respectful of others, and observant of those around you. Some of us are not there to have a free sample lunches, but to actually buy things and get out as soon as possible! If you are waiting for a sample, then get out of the way; especially if someone says "excuse me"! To those of you that are offended by this post, meet me at Costco; we'll have lunch! :-)

It is not uncommon for the young aspiring movie star to have his lips plumped so as to make them more delectable for the audience that likes such a thing, myself, for example. Remember the young Ryan Phillipe and his thick lower lip, just hanging there ready for you to wrap it in your mouth. Now take a look at Mr. Phillipe and see just how thick that lower lip is these days. The young lad above, has natural lips. I know. I did his makeup and tested the lips to make sure they would withstand the heat of the camera. But guys, I am glad you are still reading. Do you think I could put 900 posts in one thread and still have people scroll all the way down to the new stuff? Would they believe me if I said I plumped that boy up for the pic?

The lesbian couple who were the first to marry in Los Angeles are now getting divorced, three years after their marriage ceremony. As gays around California celebrate a federal court ruling overturning Prop 8, Robin Tyler and Diane Olson are finding the victory bittersweet. The LA Times reports: The couple pushed for the reversal of Proposition 8 in 2009 by renewing their vows and were lead plaintiffs in the lawsuit that led the state Supreme Court to strike down the same-sex marriage ban that year. "We have a right to civil rights, and we don't have to say, 'If you give it to us we're going to be perfect ... we'll try harder than anybody,' " Tyler told NBCLA. "We're just like anybody else." To date there does not appear to be an accurate tally on how many gay marriages have led to gay divorces.

Yes, it is very metaphysical!

Well, if I have to keep tearing myself away to offer advice to first time travelers... A woman friend is in Europe for the first time and is stymied by this sink in her bathroom, so I had to send her instructions: Using the Bidet On most standalone bidets you can either face the bidet's water controls or you can face away from them, as you would on a toilet. It is easier to control the flow and temperature of the water if you face the controls, but if you are wearing pants you will generally need to remove them in order to straddle the bidet in this manner. There are a variety of bidet designs, so the configuration of the jets and the part of your body that you wish to clean may dictate which way you need to face. If the bidet has both hot and cold water controls, start by turning on the hot water. Open the spray valve until the water is spraying about six to eight inches high. When the water feels hot to the hand, adjust the cold water valve until the spray is comfortable, being careful not to let the spray column exceed over a foot in height. (In normally hot climates, such as the middle east, you should start with the cold water. The water will not need time to heat up and you may end up burning sensitive areas if you turn the hot water on first.) Be very careful when turning on the water, as many bidets can produce a very high jet of water with only a slight turn of the control. Be sure that you know where the water will be coming from ahead of time, or you could end up with a surprise shower. You may find that you need to hold the control to keep the jets on. In the picture below, the young woman is showing one of the many ways to use a Bidet, though you dont want to use one with shorts still on.

But, I do worry what people will think.

Knowing of course that I can do it if CHOOSE to !

So, yeah, I might give it a go.

And, I had best avoid irritating the wrong people.

I know I will have to some popular models.

I'll try not to let popular currents pull me along.

I'm going to look for true inspiration.

But I won't just take any artistic advice.

You know what I mean- guys who will give their all.

Occasionally I may need some teammates to help.

And some crazy thoughts may enter my head.

I know it is going to take some hard work.

But, I also agree with lurkerspeaks on posting:

Why, thanks, Lookin. With the support of my friends, well, who knows?

Is that your fingernail?

Gosh, you didn't have to hurt my feelings!

I have seen Ricky Martin in person twice, and, of course, many times on the tube. The first time I saw him was from a bit of a distance as he was making an appearance at Tower Records near Lincoln Center in New York. But he did look good. Not long after that, I was walking down West 21st St. in Chelsea,and there he was, standing on the corner talking to some guys. He looked quite sexy in his leather jacket. Not only that, he seemed really friendly.

So, I will listen to what you have to say and then

I'm not sure I could surf the internet as well as EXPAT.

CharliePS sees no obstacles for me.
