Awwwww YAY! I'm smiling because I love Mondays (weird I know), and it'll be Monday soon!

Ohh, Krista! Let's meet up early before the gathering and go shopping for our "convention outfits"! LOL, I think we should hit a spa too so that we'll be properly relaxed I'd definitely vote for Dallas...that is unless you guys wanna do it in Houston To me this sounds like a very good idea! That sounds like fun, plus Kanaye already suggested the perfect transport for that option! Seriously, I'd definitely go if I had enough notice and if it were anywhere in the Southern region of the U.S. If it were anywhere else in the U.S. I might go if I had the notice and availability. If it were out of the country, I'd love to go, but would need alot of notice...and probably still wouldn't go Great idea though Kevin

That was well-written, informative, and quite sad. In some ways I feel almost as though that could have been my fate as well. Thank you for posting this, Beastkid! Take care all and have a great day! Kevin

Hi Luc! I'm still amazed that you guys have worked out a system that allows him to shift while you operate the clutch at all! Yeah, technically that's impossible unless your hand remains completely immobilized since all muscles pull. I'm sorry, yeah I bet that is hard! I'd have trouble too, I only know where the keys are in a "physical" sense rather than an "intellectual" sense. I guess I'd have to like sit there and pretend to be hitting the keys properly in order to figure out what was where. Anyway, I do have a simple suggestion: get a black sharpie and write the correct letter on all the keys. Well, normally I'd leap to the squirrels' defense since they're my 3rd favourite animal - and they're awfully cute - but this time I'll just point out that it's possible that some malicious bird is actually to blame. I hope you feel better, Take care! Kevin

A very good article indeed, Graeme. I had a comment/question about the article though: That doesn't make sense to me! There's no way that nearly 50% of the ads in the US last year were specifically about or directed towards gay people (and I certainly wouldn't expect them to be given that our numbers are no where near 50%). So unless "gay-specific" means something else in this context than what I'm intuitively assuming I'm completely nonplussed. Also: That actually seemed like a good thing to me. What I mean is that the reciprocal of that is that two in three people in the GLBT community don't change their behaviours at work! That's actually much higher than I would have estimated! That should mean that 2/3 of the GLBT community are not only out at work, but also not altering their behaviour at all! Quite impressive if you ask me. Heck, I myself am out at work, and yesterday I still changed out of the clothes I initially put on because on second thought I decided my outfit was a little too "fabulous" for work. So you might say I'm one of the "one in three" who does change his behaviour. Actually though that wasn't my only consideration, I was also thinking that the outfit would work better on Sunday when I'll attend a couple of gay functions and then go into work, but it'll be "casual Sunday" and we can basically wear whatever (the outfit in question is actually quite dressy, but it'll probably still go over better on the "anything goes" day). Anyway point is, if 2/3 of gay people are comfortable being out and behaving completely normally at work, I think that's cause for celebration. Have a fantastic day all and take care! Kevin

Thank you, Jack! I did enjoy that article!

Dublin

yeah that definitely helps alot! On my last birthday I got carded for an R rated movie...completely made my year

Ohh, that was amusing! I've never heard of this guy before, but I think I might start reading his blog from time to time.

well either way it's nifty...lol and it's always news to me either way! Thanks for telling us, Beastkid!

ahhh, you mean the paint supplies! I understand, I've always enjoyed playing on canvass too.

Why yes I do! Do you own anything larger than a house?

Yeah I am, and I have. The person below me is in need of quarter.

**thinks back*** Well there was this one, lonely time in the African forests... Just kidding, No aye! I've never been out of the country ( )

Lobster!

Hi all, So Milo seems to be pretty popular around these parts, and to be honest with you guys I just can't figure it out! I'm yet to see very much, if any, of his major virtues or why he's so deserving not only of Nelson (who IS nifty)'s affection but also the affection of so many of my fellow Domaholics (who are of course also very fantastic in their own rights). To me he mostly just seems like a snobby rich kid without a very good personality who's got more than his fair share of issues. So what is it guys? What makes Milo a cool dude? Have a great day all and take care Kevin (the perplexed)

Well, I can definitely say with complete conviction and truthfulness that "Krista is in a class by herself" (LOL, as the first of the new "Promising Authors" that is, but regardless of that distinction of course she is anyway ) Welcome (back), Krista! You most certainly deserve to be here, and I'm excited to see what further exciting, fascinating stories you bring us Kevin

I think I preferred Taylor for most of the story too. Quinn gets a bit better the further in you go though. LOL, yeah he's sweet enough in his own neurotic way, but I'm still voting to have Jude leave him for Ieshwar in the sequel! ...wait a minute! What I am saying? I'm voting to have Jude leave Quinn for ME in the sequel! **giggle** sorry, Iesh, you know I think you're super-nifty, but I gotta look after my interests too! :2hands:

OK, I went with: BF: Jude - he's just such an amazing person! gay best friend - Luke Now, Menzo, isn't friendship supposed to be unconditional? Tisk Tisk (actually I'm just peeved because I didn't think of writing that same clause in my contract with him! ) Straight best friend - Ryan - The others are cool but come on! Does Ryan really have any competition here?! Girl friend - I was a tad torn between Bri and Lacy, but ultimately I had to go Lacy

LOL, I'm a huge sucker for chick flicks myself! I actually had another very embarrassing "queer moment" today when an ad/preview for the new movie Bratz came on the radio, and after it was over I was totally thinking I just HAD to go and see it LOL, now the only hard part will be finding someone "gay enough" to go watch it with me...you'd think this wouldn't be a problem since virtually all my friends are gay but...THAT gay?

WOOO HOOO!! YAY for Jamie!!! Congrats to you, Dhruv, as well! LOL, James! How sneaky of you! And me? I'm smiling because despite evidence that this was going to be a rough week it's actually turned out quite delightful and I feel like I've really "landed on my feet".

May your day be delightfully happy and may the coming year bring you the peace and prosperity that you deserve! Have an awesome birthday! Kevin
