Happy Birthday!!! I hope it was an awesome one Kevin

Congrats on 100, Lawrence!! I completely agree with all that, Al! LOL, great time for people to start trying to learn metric!....they wouldn't remember in the morning anyway Have a great day all! Kevin

WOW!!! Thank you guys SOOOOOOOOOO much Vance Viv Ben Eric Davey Robbee That was just the most amazing thing you guys THANK YOU! It totally made my day and it'll be something I cherish for the rest of my life. I spent the whole story laughing my butt off or tearing up because it was so darn sweet! You guys are the GREATEST! THANKS Thanks also to Joey for making the page look so great!!! and thanks to ALL of my friends here at GA, you guys have really made me happy and enriched my life. I wish I could express to you all how great I think you are and how much you all mean to me. Kevin

Thanks Myr, I guess about half of those were true of me and half weren't. What REALLY freaks me out is that people born in the early 90s are in their teens now!!! younger? Wow! That is quite a spread, Steve! That means there was only about a 7 or 8 year age difference between you guys too? Cool! I bet that gave you a lot of perspective. My birthday's Sunday too! Take care all and have a great day! Kevin

I have a firefox/GA issue. When I'm reading something in Efiction it won't let me paste anything into the review box (nor will it let me copy anything in the review box). It specifically says that this is not available with firefox. I'd really like to be ablet o do this though, because often I'll want to paste in the section of text I'm talking about. Anyway just wondered if everyone else with FireFox was having this problem and if there is a way to fix it? Take care all! Kevin

I'm so sorry to hear about your difficult situation, Ketchup. I don't really have any similar stories to relate; however, I would like to take this chance to tell you that things will get better. Never feel like you have to go through this alone. Reach our to your aunt and your other friends who are supportive, and rest assured that if you ever just need some where to vent GA is an excellent place. I recommend looking into making your own blog or perhaps visiting Live Chat, these are great resources for finding support and comfort. take care and I wish you the best. Please let us know what happens. Kevin

Awww I'm sorry you're not feeling well, Dom. Take care and feel better soon Kevin

Hey Vance!! ohhh I want one of those now! LOL I need to vacuum my place pretty soon. OHHH, I sure hope you aren't getting sick again . I'm goign to have to kick some virus/bacerial butt if you are!! GRRRRR awww! YAY! I know you'll have a great time!! I can't wait for it start being released!! hehehe! It's awesome!!! LOL, and laughing at our crazy ideas huh? The boy's like 14 years old, he probably does even know who Curly, Moe, or Larry are *ahem* Ohhh comeon, Vic! He's the same age as me, and I'm sure we both know perfectly well that Curly, Moe, and Larry were members of the Beatles! Have an awesome day and take care all! Kevin

Hey David! Yep, I guess there's just no going back. Not to the same life you left behind anyway. WOW! It sounds like he has been all over. I'm sorry you didn't get to go too . You're right about dreaming, you never know what it will bring awwww! Thanks Take care and have a terrific day! Kevin

Happy Birthday!!

ROFL! What a huge coincidence I literally hadn't listened to that song once in months and I was just listening to it a few hours ago!! LOL you must be psychic, Peter! Take care and have an awesome day!! Kevin

What a great story! There's really no logical reason why a cross-dresser and a marine couldn't be friends. I'm glad to see this example as living evidence of that. My more cynical side has to ask if you're SURE the marine knew it was really a guy though? I know it sounds silly, but some people are really na

Well to be completely honest that is how I typically handle it too. I only give negative feedback if I'm reasonably sure the author wants it, otherwise I don't say anything. Some authors DO want it though, you have to know your author, and I think should still make an effort to at least present it in a delicate way. -Kevin

I totally agree too! Take care and have a great day all Kevin

So my boss is always talking about how our clients don't buy the product first, they buy us first. It's been a slow week. I guess I just need to get out there and "sell myself". I guess I shouldn't complain though, I've pretty much been taking it easy. It's hard to get back into the habit of working. Especially when I don't have to (I'm an independent, self-employed agent of the company, so unless I do something actively wrong - I. E. damaging to the company - I won't get fired and can pretty much do what I want). I definitely want to get rolling, and I plan to, but I don't really mind easing into it. Today was pretty good I got some stuff done...not as much as I should have, but some. I even impressed the boss a bit. I was supposed to go out and leave info and stuff with 2 of my coworkers, but the other 2 didn't show (one did call though). So my boss was actually like thanking me just for doing what I was supposed to be doing in the first place . Anyway I think once I actually get down to brass tacks as it were I'll do pretty well. I'm enjoying it for the most part. Anyway I really want to make it work because I just love how flexible and low pressure it is! So I'm planning to be really good and productive tomorrow . In other news my grandfather had his 85th birthday today! He's in really great shape, mentally and physically, for a man his age. I hope I'm that well off when I'm his age....actually I doubt I will be though. I'm already ditsier. I also don't get near as much excercise as he did at my age. OH, I think I get a pretty good amount, probably much more than the average American, but he was actively working on a farm walking leveys, shoveling rice, and repairing fence when he my age. I just go for a walk in the park and do some exercises everyday...not bad...but not the same. Anyway I'm counting on modern medicene to keep me from loosing my marbels and being physically decrepit. I also realized today that I can never "go home" to any of my old familar places. My family home definitely wouldn't be the same now that my grandmother's Alzheimer's is getting worse. Not that I'd want to live there anyway though. I haven't in over 4 years and I've been much happier and better adjusted on my own. It's just ashame how different it is. I also can't go back to my rook site or my spade site, both are literally GONE now! I guess it's just as well that I wondered away from both before they went defunct, that makes it a little easier, but it's still ashame. I do still have the means to contact the people I used to play with/be friends with if I wanted to, and I could go to the new places...but I'm sure I won't. There's also obviously no going back to anything I had in Baton Rouge either. I guess it's pointless thinking about it, it just makes me a little sad that all the old familar places are completely gone now. But I'm happy in Houston and I'm happy at GA, so I'll just press on. Besides I like adapting. I'm after new adventures and I didn't PLAN on going back to any of the old ones anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter if they're there or not. Speaking of new adventures as premature as this sounds I've already decided that I want to move to NYC sometime in the next 5-11 years. I want at least 5 years to properly explore Houston, then, depending on whether or not I can get a transfer at work, I'm off to the Big Apple (if I can't get a transfer it'll be 10 or 11 years). From there? Well I don't know yet. I think I'd love to live NO WHERE for 2 or 3 years and just travel around Europe and Asia, the uncertainty of that WOULD have been enough to make me seriously freak just 2 years ago, but I'm not the same in that regard. Frankly I think I'd love it, as long as I could do it comfortably that is (no "backpacking" for this boy thanks), I've never "roughed it" in my life and I sure don't plan to start as I get older, lol I'd be lost without my wardrobe, and skin/hair care products . LOL so I'll definitely have to wait till I've gotten a bit (well QUITE A BIT) more money, but I think I'd love it. I think I'd like to end my days in Canada or the UK. Probably Canada. America just needs to get a whole lot more liberal (and butt out of everyone else's business) for me to want to stay here forever. [disclaimer: I'm not knocking America, I love it here and am appreciative for all I have. I'm just expressing my own personal opinion and not trying to convince anyone to go along with it.] How would a boyfriend fit into all this? Dunno, I'd stick around where ever if I were in a good relationship, I'm by no means in favour of living my life without a soulmate, or leaving one behind/making things more difficult, but I'm not going to settle or give up my indepenence for just anyone either. SO I guess it all depends on the person, where I meet him (or her I suppose. I don't plan to be with a woman, but I think it's too closed minded (for me personally) to rule that out, besides if I'm honest I'm like 5% straight and I don't really care about all the labeling junk. I'd rather a guy in most cases but I'll fall in love with whomever I fall in love with), and where we each are in lives. But it'll work out Besides all these silly plans are just pie in the sky anyway. I doubt most of it will materialize, but it's nice to dream Anyway I'm sorry if I offended anyone in this blog, it might have been a bit more blunt and obnoxious than I usually am in my blog entries, but that's just what was on my mind tonight and I didn't particularly feel like censoring. Have a fantastic day and take care everyone! Kevin

YAY!! My signature caused a discussion!! I agree with what everyone else said: most authors just want ANY kind of feedback! Most do seem to appreciate if you say WHY you felt the way you did too. I don't think there's anything wrong with giving negative feedback as long as it's constructive, honest, and informative, not just mean and spiteful. Anyway please do take the time to let the authors know what you thought regardless of what outlet you do choose!! Have a great day everyone and take care! Kevin

awwwwwwww! You're the bestest, Viv!!! A teriffic person and an awesome friend! I hope your next 100 are great!!! Kevin

I have no clue what that word means, so for the rest of you I am posting what I found. It is a bit long, but it is a great article. Kitty has really thrown one at us now. Namaste! How is it pronounced, what does it mean?
