Longboard skateboard? I take my longboard and paddle out, surf or no surf, it calms me.

Personally I love them...

Bah! It's still attached ain't? Rub some dirt on and get back out there...... And remember the oldsters creed when playing U16 teams, "old age and treachery can overcome youth and skills".

I am more impressed with Raquel Welch at 70!

Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water My link The first few chords could send a high school dance into a frenzy. Stairway to Heaven was the other obligatory song all bands had to know. Emerson Lake & Palmer - Karn Evil 9 My link Possibly the most talented musicians ever in rock. KISS - Rock n Roll All Night They had a gimmick and it worked. Beach Boys - Surfin' USA My link They spoke to an entire lifestyle most of the world knew nothing about. The Beatles - I want to Hold Your Hand They changed the world of music forever.

YOU can't have sex until that next damn chapter of Perks is done...... maybe TWO more chapters.

Stories about real men, real heroes fighting epic battles.

I had Pho (pronounced "fuh") at my favorite restaurant Pho King (say it out loud, but not if mom is around).

Drugs are bad m'kay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNbExvU42q4

Keeping this thread alive to put heat on you for the next chapter of Perks...... nice weekend coming up, lots of free time for writing

I actually convinced myself when I was your age that because I had no interest in bottoming, I couldn't be gay or bi, that little c*@K sucking habit of mine was just a hobby or something I figured and then one day I met someone I fell head over heels in love with and when I first met him the thought, out of no place, popped in my head 'I want him in me'. Whoa! No one was more surprised than me.

I know what you mean. I am a total top except when I'm not.

After my sister went away to college her cat would sit on my chest, purr and slap me in the face until I got up and fed. This all happened at 5AM usually.

BOO WHO

Mmmm, the story isn't quite what was presented initially, which was one old guys slips and falls goes to hospital depite power of attorney one partner is denied access to the other. One key is they didn't have everything arranged according to the laws, they didn't register as domestic partners, that could have made a difference and one partner didn't just slip and fall, he had been drinking, slipped and fell and was fighting his partner when paramedics arrived so it looked like it was an abuse situation to the paramedics and probably the first police on the scene if they were called and then to the county mental health people and the dementia of the one partner may have prevented him from articulating the situation. The story seems more about bureaucratic incompetence than malicious intent. I do hope the county gets nailed in court for their incompetence, but i think the truth is more complicated than the NCLR's original press blast made things appear, but it served its purpose, it got people riled up.

ha ha ha meet me at Shiang Garden Seafood for dim sum and I'll tell you

I swear to God if I play these videos and those things gets clubbed, you're a dead man ha ha ha

Some more information. Seems that despite a 25 year relationship and 20 years of living together they never registered as domestic partners. Maybe the tragic, lonely end of Harold could have been avoided. Other than that the rest of the story sounds worthy of a tragic GA story...... from the linked story: "At the time of Harold's fall he had already been experiencing some degree of mental impairment, and had been drinking. He fell down the stairs and became angry when Clay wanted to call an ambulance because he was afraid of what the result might be. (And as it turned out, he had good reason to be.) The paramedics who arrived on the scene suspected the possibility of abuse. But that suspicion was false. What happened over the next two months is when the nightmare truly began. Once Harold was released from the hospital to a nursing home, the county refused to tell Clay where Harold had been placed, forced Clay into a nursing home where he did not need to be, auctioned all of his possessions, including treasured and valuable works of art and family memorabilia, and took away his two beloved cats." Dementia plus alcohol is a bad combo and led to a faulty conclusion by paramedics and probably the investigating county officer and then bureaucracy took over. http://www.bilerico.com/2010/04/meet_harold_greene_and_clay_scull.php

How about calling in sick to work to finish the last two chapters of a story.

And we've been meaning to discuss that with you Tom, you are getting a little gamey after 24 years with no bath

I am always a skeptic on things I read on the Internet because I get sent stupid, outrageous claims left and and right everyday so I Googled the case, Greene v. County of Sonoma et al and almost every link took me to stories based on the NCLR Elder Law Project. I found the story surprising since I know Sonoma State had one of the first GLBT campus groups in CA, Santa Rosa has a very active and vibrant gay community. Then I found this post on Democratic Underground that expresses my skepticism better than I can articulate it. "It's a REALLY infuriating story, but... I'm always mystified when I see Results 1 - 10 of about 93,000 for Greene v. County of Sonoma for something like this, and can't find anything pointing to any story on any news site, & all the references end up pointing back to one source. I just don't like it when there's 1) a VERY infuriating story, 2) no dates on when any of this happened, no details, WHAT hospital? WHAT nursing home? WHAT judge? What was Harold's last name? 3) The story has things like "the county removed Clay from his home and confined him to a nursing home against his will" without saying HOW they did that... I mean what, just because they're EVIL? 4), like I said, every reference I can find to the story points back to one source. My first reaction is to be ANGRY, OUTRAGED, but that little voice is saying "wait a minute... check the facts." and I can't FIND any. All I can find is the Kate Kendell story. Does ANYONE have any additional info on this story?" That is kind of how I felt. It is outrageous if the facts are exactly as the NCLR Elder Law Project lays out the facts and being one of them anti-big-gubmint types nothing surprises me when I read stories about government doing bad, stupid, outrageous things. but I would at least like to see facts from another, independent source before I sharpen my pitch fork and get a torch. If the facts are proved to be exactly true, I hope to see you all at the next tea party because the story is outrageous.

Sorry, not possible for Rory's mom to be the best, you don't keep a child from its parent, that is just wrong. She did a decent job of raising him, but can't be the best. Owen's mom was the worst, how can you watch your child being murdered and worry about the floor getting bloody. Best mom and dad, Seth's parents, they handled their son and all their kids in the exact right way.

I loved certain directors, John Ford with She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, My Darling Clementine, How the West Was Won, Tobacco Road, etc. Frank Capra, Meet John Doe, It's a Wonderful Life, Lost Horizon, Mr Smith Goes to Washington, A Pocketful of Miracles, etc. William Wyler, Funny Girl, The Big Country, The Best Years of Our Lives, Dodsworth, etc. Howard Hawks, Rio Bravo, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, I Was a Male War Bride, To Have and Have Not. And so many others, Hitchcock, David Lean, George Cukor, King Vidor, the giants of the industry.

Reputation should be based on on how nice or not nice you are not deeply held beliefs. No one got trashed more than Joey in the evolution thread and Joey is a very sweet guy. I also suspect the assault on Joey was a coordinated effort. It seems so petty and high schoolish.
