Good Luck! I hear those Aussie boys are real hot!

Sounds like either Groucho Marx or Lou Costello.

Happy B'day, B'! . Have a great one, my friend!

How 'bout a nice tall, strong Hawaiian warrior instead?

Now the hard part begins... What will you do if he comes back to you and tells you that he now realizes that you're the best thing that could've ever happened to him, that he knows how much he hurt you, and asks for your forgiveness and to be with you?

Sorry, Mark, you answered an earlier post...please go to page 9, at the bottom, and respond to mine, please?

Give a great gift and receive a cheap one. That would mean I'm wealthy enough to give great gifts. --- WYR: 1) Win a lottery with a lump sum payout in the several hundreds of millions of dollars, build a house big enough for 20-30, and start to foster and adopt abandoned and abused boys that identify as gay or bi-sexual? or: 2) Win a lottery with the same lump sum and make a couple thousand dollar donation to a worthy cause? I know this is a toughie...

Trying this from a BlackBerry...I reserve the priviledge of revising my earlier post as I see appripriate.

What is a real man? You ask such a deep question with five simple words, which has several answers depending on whom you ask. Those five words have provided endless debate for several decades. In light of the more out among us the definition might now be modified again...however slight or great that may be. Several of you have provided points, poetry, prose, and quotes as guidelines, which I may end up repeating here. I don't usually post on such deep topics, I'm a fun lover--you should take notes. ----- What is a real man? A real man is compassionate toward others, without compromise, A real man accepts the compassion of others without feeling compromised. A real man shows support and lifts friends up when they're down, A real man lets friends support and lift him up when he is down. A real man listens to friends, A real man lets them talk about anything on their mind which troubles them; A real man will share his burdens with friends, talking about anything on his mind which troubles him. A real man cares enough to be honest and tell friends what he thinks whether or not they want to hear it--even if it shocks them; A real man apologizes to his friends if he has hurt their feelings. A real man cares enough about his friends that he will listen to what they have to tell him, even if he doesn't want to hear it; A real man accepts apologies from his friends when they feel that they have hurt him. A real man cares about and for his friends, A real man loves all his friends. A real man celebrates happy occasions with friends, A real man joins a friend who needs to celebrate their happy occasion. A real man shares bad news and cries with friends, A real man lets his friends share their bad news then cries with them, too. A real man shows affection toward friends without compromise for fear of what others might think. A real man is not so much a man, as a human being, A real man is not afraid to show his humanity. -----

What about those who are young souls in young bodies who are found by ripened souls in young bodies who have chosen wisely... Is that the best of all possible combinations?

I like TSO and Mannheim Steamroller...

Only when I'm in Hawaii....can I go there?

Well...mom went to the Dr. for a checkup after her fall on T'day...they think she might have had a small stroke. Gram' took her, since they both had appts., but she doesn't know if the Dr. told mom that he thinks that she had a stroke, or if mom asked the Dr. if she might have had one. Right now, her speech is slightly slurred, but she also didn't get to sleep until yesterday evening at my gram's place. So we'll have to wait and see what we can find out. Right now, we aren't even sure if it was a stroke, and whether or not it happened because of the fall or was the cause of the fall.

From all I've read, both here and in print, time is usually a continuous progression forward. If there's a need for a history lesson, it's usually done as a memory flashback, and so--easily readable in the context. BTW, nice to see you back! Then, again...something of a lead in such as: (Tick) He jumped into the cool water of the lake from the swimming platform, coming up from beneath Ryan, letting his chest rub the front of Ryan's speedo... (Tick) He suddenly realized he could smell bacon, and thought it odd, that Ryan should smell like bacon when he's wet. (Tick) He also realized he needed to take a leak. (Tick) His alarm went off, jarring him awake, and he opened his eyes to realize that his curtains had been left open all night, blinding him momentarily, and as he sat up he reached out to shut off his alarm clock--wishing as he did so that he had a clock radio instead. ----- Provides for an in-line transition from a dream-time to real-time progression, but can also be used to fill in some (sometimes interesting, or embarrassing) details.

My apologies, I was called to dinner and didn't want to leave an open edit on the screen. Yay! This is my 100th post--now I've gotten to be "Prolific"!

Thanks for the guide, Robbie, I'll sit down with it...
