GREAT Italian film out now-I Am Love with wonderful food scenes http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1226236/

I have often seen good deal on computers at "non computer stores"such as office supply places. Well the other day I had to take my desktop in to have a virus removed(thanks Norton ) and I decided to try Staples since I am boycotting Best Buy. While there I looked at the laptops they had on display and the tech guy I had just dealt with came over to talk with me.He said he was very impressed with this lappie and the price they had was excellent. I went online and checked out the lappie and it turned out the price was far below what I could find online and I decided to buy it. The next day I found an ad for a big thec store which had the same lappie at a lower price and decided to see if they would price match.Not only did they give me the lower price they threw in a lot of stuff for free/heavy discounts. I also have made a good friend with the young Tech guy who was honest,bright and most importantly non condescending-a rare bird amongst IT folks. So if you are looking for a computer or for tech stuff you might want to look outside of the regular places.

Yes it does.I think it will get better with each passing year as more "everyday"Gays are put on TV. Of course this makes those who hate/fear even more nervous and thus the reaction from the nutjobs will be more intense also

Attended an evening of Grand-Guignol theatre at the Taper tonight with thier presentation of The Lieutenant of Inishmore http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2010/07/theater-review-the-lieutenant-of-inishmore-at-the-mark-taper-forum.html It was some sort of"Gay Hollywood"night as there were an awful lot of "those types" in the crowd Chris Pine did a great job BTW

Turns out it was a senior moment and a typo! He is just 26 today. So we are not as old as we thought we were

I paid him $150 back in the mid 80's. I don't know how much real estate you could buy with that!

Help out an old man who has senior moments please A working boy friend of mine has his 28th birthday today. He was at the first Hooville dinner at Numbers and he was 18 then.So either my numbers are wrong,my math fuzzy,or has it really been 10 years? I do miss those dinners.I made some great friends from them and loved getting to know many of the working fellas on a social basis.Unfortunately the economy/lack of suitible venues/and a general melt down of IBB's(due to the explosion of social networking sites such as FaceBook IMO)it has become next to impossible to wrangle enough folks together for a dinner like the one's we used to have in the good old days.

I never really signed up to be a customer with Chase but after five mergers/takeovers here I am. But I hate having to go in and do buisness with them(direct deposit is not an option) as they pounce on you to try and sell you services. I have learned to firmly say "no thanks"after falling for this twice, Looks like some of the workers hate doing this as much as I do! http://consumerist.com/2010/07/chase-banker-i-hate-that-were-required-to-pull-people-out-of-line-and-offer-upsells.html

I attended my nephews wedding this weekend. I was by myself and pretty much stuck with close family. I was thrilled when my sister introduced her best friend to family-followed by"and this is his husband...." Times are changing.Bit by bit,inch by inch. Some of the male guests were a little"rough"which suited me just fine Funny-with all these dance shows on TV that straight white guys still cannot dance to save their souls!

I happened to be in Palm Springs this weekend for an gathering of another IBB group I belong to and I stopped by the"Hooville" gathering at Olivers place. This was a LOT of fun and my thanks to Oliver and Lucky for inviting me. The weather this past weekend was really as good as it get in PSP hot enough for some fun in the pool but not so hot that you needed to seek out an air conditioned space. I stopped by a new bar called DINK's (right next to Toucans)on friday night and it was a lot of fun-four very cute dancers and a nice big open space(unlike hunter's)which also houses a restaurant. I was also able to catch up with my escort friend Dirk(formerly of Los Angeles,New Orleans,Miami)who is now living in PSP as well as my friend Jason North.

That is my dear Husband Joe Buck pictured above. What a waste of time and money he has turned out to be.Nothing but a swagering sack of testosterone and seman.But one hell of a stud!

Would you be willing to draw up the PreNup's ?

You were kind enough/smart enough to remember my name and I could not remember yours.I wish i was better at fessing up when this happens-and I do not know why I don't just say "what is your name/handle again?"but I tend to just try and cover it up.I apologize. Your companion was VERY cute BTW! This also made me nostalgic for the fun dinners we used to have at the now closed Numbers.I miss those days. If you see me out and about again shake me to try and loosen some of my memory cells out of slumber mode.

I would not say I follow it-I do check in and if I see a post by a friend(such as you)then I will open it.But so moany posts seem to be better suited to The Allegheny Ladies Knitting Society Journal rather than a site about hiring male prostitutes. And then the High Head Knittress is either fretting about looming impoverishment/homelessness or is throwing her purse at the faithful for someone dropping a stitch.

Hello fellow MERmen, Just a quick note to let y'all know I am still around. I have not been quite as active as I had been in the past.I am going to try and get my affairs in order this year(pay off all debt)and this means having to curtail two of my hobbies-Travel and Boys. I still do get out and about a bit(and this staying home stuff is boring me to tears)but it is a small price to pay to get some(a lot)of breathing room and to be able to tell the banks to go fuck themselves.It is dfficult-but very doable. I also just turned 50.I had a great birthday party in San Francisco surrounded by friends and family.I treated myself to a little fun(met him at the Stud)but even this was scaled back from the orgy I had originally planned on Anyway-I hope to see some of you in Palm Springs next month.

From the "other site" "Can you picture all of the senior citizens in Palm Springs getting up on the stage and shaking it in a thong?" I thought we had already seen this 2 years ago at the Palm spring Playhouse when they did 42nd street!

Gung Hay Fat Choy to the Lucky Tiger!

Well I sent a link of this convo to him-he was flattered,he tried to register to put his info up,his confirmation email bounced back(wth?)so we are working on it. Any help TO or TY could offer would be appriciated

Shame you could not join us-clear as a bell in LA after 6 It was great getting together with TotallyOz once again-always a pleasure. The boys at MJ's were scrumptious-and very appreciative of the tips Oz,Hussy,and I were giving them

Oh Fudge=I forgot about the Crapshow err Peepshow on Friday nights now.I went on 1/1 and was less than thrilled=as Expat mentioned this has pushed the regular dancers back to well past 10 PM. So we eat slow? Or move this to Saturday night? One of the benefits of getting there a little early(for dinner) Is that parking is a bear after 8 or so in that neighborhood.

So yesterday out of the clear blue this sweet 19 year old contacts me. Not really my cuppa at all but I start chatting him up and find him to be really smart,sweet and cute. He does nothing for me sexually-but those of you who like younger fellas would be all over each other trying to get him to say Hi! Turns out he is interested in getting into porn. We chat about this for a long time.I really want to tell him to just stay in school,get a good degree,and then,if he really wants to,come visit LA and I will make some introductions. I also tell him that the tech stuff(he is a geek by his own definition)is the way to insure you always have work in the biz. Anyway-I know I am getting old(no shit Shylock)but my god! Just a brief time ago I probably would have been busy trying to get him into a playdate.Now I am becoming more of an auntie to these fellas than ever before. No real point to this-just thought some of you(coughMarcAnthonycough) would be interested. He is in the midwest-and is another of those sweet midwestern boys I have written about in the past.

I will be there for dinner and the show afterwards

Next Friday(1/22) works for me if anyone else is around.Lets run it up Ace Sinclair's flagpole and see who salutes! PS-this Wed (1/20) Is the west coast run off party for Rentboy.com HOOKIES! The event will be at Here lounge in WeHo at 9 pm. The actuall Hookie awards wil be in NYC again this year.

If the 15th is still good I will be happy to attend. Is it too late to plan an evening around this?

If you happen to be in the multiplex in the nex week or so hunt out the full size stand up advertising for Sherlock Holmes=and stare at the crotches of the two leads. Whoever did the graphics reallllly likes Jude Law.Robert Downey did not get the same blessing.
