    I think it is important to remember too, that as a reader of FREE online stories, the author doesn't owe the reader anything. I feel that as a reader of something I am getting for nothing, the author has the right to continue or stop however they feel fit for the story or their lives. My boyfriend started writing a relatively popular story on here back in the day, but when his life changed with college and everything, he no longer had the time or passion to continue the story. He got a lot of people sending him messages and emails saying how it was "wrong" and "mean", etc. of him to leave the story only half finished. His life had changed, and he no longer felt it was the best use of his time. He didn't and doesn't owe his readers anything in my opinion, and I think we as readers have to accept that fact.

    Will my readers pay me to write? If they did, I would be happy as a clam writing from 9-5. Somehow I feel like I'm not a good enough author to justify that though, haha. I have limited free time now, and when I get home from a long day of work, I have the choice of sitting down and writing or going out and doing something. Writing never wins out anymore. I would love to finish my story and I have a pile of ideas for it, but I have other things I value over that. Thats just me.

    I can only speak for me personally. I started my story in the winter of my senior year of college. I was busy but was determined to write. Well, when finals came around, and then graduation, and then moving, and then finding a job, and then working said job which had long hours and a lot of stress, figuring out a new city, on and on and on. You get the point. Writing suddenly became far less important of a task when real life was busy enough.

    This past year and this election has driven me solidly to the Bernie camp.

    Agreed. Even in college as an underage drinker I would still refuse that nasty stuff. I'm pretty much a tequila, vodka, rum, and gin guy. Screwdrivers are my staple bar drink. Even the thought of whiskey makes me cringe.

    "I hate you because I secretly am you". That about sums up many of the anti-gay hate mongers in the Republican Party.

    You can't make this shit up. A man who pretended to stand up for conservative family values has been outed as a child molester, and now using a website to cheat on his wife. These people are such a fucking joke. http://gawker.com/family-values-activist-josh-duggar-had-a-paid-ashley-ma-1725132091

    I remember watching it make landfall on CNN. I also remember Anderson Cooper doing a live shot standing next to a dead body only half covered by a sheet in the middle of a sidewalk in New Orleans. My family went on vacation to Maine for the Labor Day weekend after it hit. It was shocking, in 2005, to see gas at $3.28 a gallon there after the storm hit.

    As a guy who absolutely hates beer and is too embarrassed to drink wine coolers, I've learned to like liquors. Now that the whole craft cocktail thing has become hugely popular in America, its a good time to be a liquor drinker. Here are the Top 15 most popular liquors in America. 1.) Smirnoff Vodka 2.) Captain Morgan Rum 3.) Jack Daniels Whiskey 4.) Bacardi Rum 5.) Crown Royal Whiskey 6.) Absolut Vodka 7.) Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey 8.) Jim Beam Bourbon 9.) Jose Cuervo Tequila 10.) Svedka Vodka 11.) Skyy Vodka 12.) Grey Goose Vodka 13.) Jagermeister 14.) Hennessey Cognac 15.) Jameson Irish Whiskey http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/23/living/gallery/top-liquor-brands/index.html I was a little disappointed my personal favorite didn't make the list.

    David's Birthday (2009)- Its in Italian and is a tragedy, and is one of my favorite movies overall. Mulligans (2008)- Another bit of a tragedy film similar to David's Birthday.

    Happy Birthday Mike!

    This is exactly why comprehensive sex education should be mandatory. I count myself lucky I grew up in a state where we had it starting in 5th grade.

    Hopefully you weren't using baby oil with a condom.

    I read an article about how numbing agents are quite common on porn sets, especially for straight guys doing bottoming. It also helps if the shoot is lasting for 5-6 hours straight and having to take the (often huge) D of the top can get painful after a while, according to the article...and common sense.

    I didn't know sex shops had their own house-brand lubes. Now I wanna go check out the sex shop by me and see if they have their own brand too!

    Haven't heard this song in a while, and forgot how beautiful it was.

    Wow, 10 responses and only one person actually answered the question. ID Glide is also pretty good too.

    Very debatable, but its old water under the bridge at this point.

    Its threads like this that really make me despise the decision to remove The Soapbox....

    Wait, you mean you guys opened up those funny looking things with white paper pages to find information to write papers? Didn't you know about Google back then?!?!

    Yes, they did a lot...for causes that largely benefit them and others like them. If you are a minority gay man, minority lesbian, or trans (of any color), you have pretty much been left out of all the progress that has been made. I see it so clearly on a daily basis in the city, and it quite frankly sickens me. The HRC and their backers only serve a subset of the LGBT population, aka those who are white and with money. They leave out everyone else from their efforts. Quite frankly, I would have much rather seen employment and housing anti-discrimination laws passed before gay marriage. I'm 23, and have zero plans of being married any time soon. But I am employed in a state that does not protect me from being fired because I have a boyfriend and/or have sex with other men. Marriage doesn't mean shit to me, but keeping my income and job do. Its great to be gay in America in 2015, provided you are older, white, financially successful, and live in a major city. For everybody else, there is a sense of being left behind.

    Thats the problem with the only real influential LGBT lobby (The HRC) being the crony of wealthy, white, gay men in the Northeast and California cities. They are financially secure enough not to have to worry about any of the stuff you listed. Gay marriage became their personal benefit, and their money to the cause followed suit. Yet they are forgetting everyone who isn't older or wealthy or white or living in a big city, and forgetting how discrimination in the workplace and housing is a far more pressing issue to these people when compared to the right to marry. The singular focus on the rallying cry of the rich, old, white, gay man to the detriment of all others is one reason I hate the Human Rights Campaign. Pennsylvania still does not protect against LGBT workplace discrimination (only Philadelphia and I think Pittsburgh does). Just a couple weeks ago a beloved and long-time Catholic school teacher was fired for being a lesbian. That happened in one of the wealthiest, more liberal suburbs of Philadelphia. So if it still happens from time to time in the Northeast Corridor, I can only imagine what happens down south of the Mason Dixon Line.

    Killing Of Cecil

    TetRefine commented on Aditus's blog entry in Aditus' Road Blog

    So much sympathy for a dead lion, yet when people get murdered left and right, nobody bats an eye. Its so backwards...

    Living with a Colombian boyfriend, I can't escape Latin music. This one is my favorite.
