Upon doing some research for my next story I came across this article. I had no idea that it was this bad for men who have been raped. Some dark places in this world are unbelievable barbaric! http://www.theguardian.com/society/2011/jul/17/the-rape-of-men

Upon driving in to work this morning on the freeway I was nearly hit two times. Its WAR out there people! Friggin' war! I should'a stayed the eff home and worked from there! Now I get to go get my teeth drilled on. Why did I even wake up this morning!? WHERE'S A MIDOL DANGNABBIT!

"My Meemaw used to say somethin' to me that didn't make too much sense at the time but it did later. When I went out there with her after I had my...problem...she'd tell me, she'd say: 'Jimmyboy, Chil'e, they's a time and they's a place for all things ta' come in they season. The mulberry tree only done puts up its mulberries once a year and only for a few weeks at the bestest. You come too early, they ain't none. You come too late and they all gone. So you gotta know when to look and when to pick em or ya miss em...so always look for the signs of mulberry time, Baby!' She'd then go shuffle off and make toast with homemade mulberry jam for us with some iced tea, makin' the point hit home. Its mulberry pickin' time, Snowmuffin'. Don't miss em'! They taste...mighty good!" ~~ Jimmy

Sorry as in 'Sorry, but I have some bad news...' Or worse....Forever

.....I guess I better get to work now.

O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy pow'r Dost hold time’s fickle glass, his sickle hour, Who hast by waning grown, and therein show’st Thy lovers withering, as thy sweet self grow’st— If nature, sovereign mistress over wrack, As thou goest onwards still will pluck thee back, She keeps thee to this purpose: that her skill May time disgrace, and wretched minute kill. Yet fear her, O thou minion of her pleasure; She may detain, but not still keep, her treasure. Her audit, though delayed, answered must be, And her quietus is to render thee. William Shakespeare ~ Sonnet 126

Yeah, ok. Good admonition. Disregard my Anal-Eaze post. The high end lube, though, I'll stick to my guns on that one. There's a big difference in quality between brands.

Go with a high end silicone one, Drew. If you are accepting for the first time you will need a little extra to ease things. Maybe even a combo. The silicone one and maybe some Anal-Eaze as it has a little numbing agent. < Disregard. I have a formula and it works for me, but not necessarily for everybody. Especially the inexperienced. If you are giving, then go with what your partner might want or suggest this combo if its his first time. Be gentle!

At least try KY once, MGK. Personal Lube is a different sensation entirely.

I use a house brand from Adam and Eve adult toys and gifts. I tend to like the liquid stuff better as it seems to flow better and reach more places. Sometimes I like the flavored kind. Cherry is my favorite. I tried one that came with a Super Stroker toy I bought called Überlube. I think it was silicone based. It had incredible lasting power! Unfortunately, its awfully expensive. That said, I probably prefer that if Bottoming. See...you shouldn't ask me questions like this Lenny. I have absolutely no shame.

MrM's Chicken Couscous Tfaya Chicken ~~~~~~~~~~ 6 Whole Chicken Legs and Thighs Salt and Pepper Butter ½ Tsp.

Put in oven for about 10 minutes until chicken becomes deep golden brown and honey is bubbling hot. BE CAREFUL THAT IT DOESN’T BURN. Don’t burn yourself neither. 7. While chicken gets done, make couscous. Use box directions except substitute for water the chicken stock from the cooked chicken. 8. While couscous and chicken finishes, make the sweet and spicy onion sauce. a. In a measuring cup put the raisins. Cover with boiling water and let sit while you cook onions. b. In a sauce pan put some butter. Fry onions until caramelized (brown). c. Add honey, cinnamon, raisins and their soaking water. Bring to a boil and reduce a bit. Sauce should be liquid and sticky, but not too runny. 9. Put a pretty plate out. Mound couscous in the center of it. Make a well in the center of the couscous with a spoon. Pour a little chicken broth in it. Add some cooked carrots. On top of the carrots put the chicken. On top of the chicken put the sauce. Sprinkle on the sauce some toasted almonds. Eat with fingers.

They are still children and so they will return to acting in childish ways. It must be the parents now that are the adults here. Billy's mom and Brandon's dad. They are going to have to be the bigger people here. If not....they may lose their sons to this. I have a feeling Brandon's father may know this as he has seen his son in a very bad place before, I'm sure of it.

Yay!

Lenny is home and enjoying a well earned sleep after a typical sleepless night courtesy 24 hour hospital care! Thank you guys for sending your love. As you saw, Lenny really appreciated all of your well wishes. Hopefully he will be back among us soon.

I was just Skyping with him. He's in good spirits. They are moving him from ER to a room now. What a relief for him and us! Progress!

Atruefan, one of our newer authors in GA, active community member, and dear friend of mine was admitted into the hospital today with stroke symptoms. Though it was found that he didn't have a stroke he did have a blood pressure crash which his doctors are investigating. He also broke his knee when he collapsed. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he is tended to. Thank you guys.

Valkyrie makes my Snowflake story possible. She and Atruefan, who is my main beta, help me polish and encourage me to go on. Without them I might stop writing again which I do too often. Personally I find the pressure of putting a chapter out there at least once a month an incentive to drive my writing. But my writing style is a bit odd and needs that energy. I find my stories write themselves. Its like the characters tell me what they are going to do. Yes...I am insane.

Actually, this was like Totally Me in the 80s. I mean Totally! I even had a linen blazer! Those college guys up there totally didn't Rock the look.

For a while now I have been composing a response to The Secret Life of Billy Chase. The response is Brandon's Blog, an online diary he keeps that is where he puts his thoughts, his experiences, his dreams, his poetry...and his heartaches. Brandon signed his first entry with 'Brandon...Smiling' and so this story is named. Thanks to the support of Atruefan who has been reading my response and who has given me positive feedback he was kind enough to sponsor me before Comsie The Great. His Alluring Majesty read my first chapter and gave his blessing for its release. Alas, though I wish he had the time, I don't think Comsie can always Beta Read this work though I would dearly love it if he could. I love his story so much that I want to remain faithful to it in Brandon's perspective. In that spirit I was wondering if any of you, his true fans and particularly of the Billy Chase Chronicle would like to Beta Read Brandon Smiling for me so that I stay the course. Brandon became a special character for me because the way Comsie wrote him greatly reminded me of myself at 14-15. This uncanny connection compelled me to start writing again after several years of lying fallow. This is a work from my heart and has aspects of my own experience being gay growing up. I greatly admire Comsie for his adept insight into such a character as mine as my experience was a fairly common one and one that many can connect with. This is how Comsie writes his characters. They are reflections of us and possibly as we could have been or would have meant to be. Anyway, I hope you guys might help out if you want. I would sure appreciate it. Love, MrM

Hehehehe. Thanks Puppi. I wondered where I got this scene from in the dark dusty cobwebs of my mind. Some Like It Hot! Exactly. Yeah...part of this story is a story of self-discovery and maturation. Thats MATuration, by the way. Thanks again for the review!

Brian ~~~~~ We slept together last night. It was just sort of natural. We have fallen into one another and we have found our perfect fit, Snowflake and I. I...I really can't believe this. I never thought I'd find anyone who was, well, The One. But he and I: we breathe with the same breath, our hearts beat with the same beat, my heat and his cool comfort one another perfectly. We made love despite my knee injury in a way that was completely tantric. I have never experienced such feelings.

! My Master is coming!

To go boldly where no one has gone before... Our next step Out There will be found in the CERN Large Hadron Collider or its more advanced version in New Mexico. I feel we may be close to discovering the full quantum nature of gravity. Once we have learned this we will be able to understand space-time contouring...the twists and turns in the fabric of reality! Exciting times.

They are already here.
