Lol. I get a lot of Viagra junk e-mails too! Two or three a week sometimes and I don't know why that is.. haha.

I had a pen pal since the 4th grade all the way through high school, but after graduation he moved and didn't give me his new address so I couldn't write to him anymore as he didn't know exactly where he was going. He was going to college or something. I like writing letters and mailing them, I think they're better than e-mails.

Happy Birthday!! Have a good one.

Happy Birthday!! Have a good one.

that's why I online shop... And, you've not... "completely" lost your mind, I've stood in line for concert tickets FOR MY MOTHER! That's losing a mind.. lol. Good luck though, I hope you get one!! Be brave and "hold your ground!" lol.

Acting in at least two of his moves were ok, but otherwise no arguments here! Some other things I do to relieve stress: I swim or lay around by the pool or in it. I treat myself to shopping/or the spa or both if I have times. I watch movies. I cry - Having a good cry can be so therapeutic. Of course if crying is your only stress reliever and it happens a lot you may be depressed. I play a sport - Basketball mostly. And, I talk in length about my problems to some unsuspecting friend. It's what they're for!

Well my Brother-in-law is Bi.. does that count? I'm sure there are other family members that are gay in my family, we have a large family so it's just numbers game. Some of our family are open to the idea of people being gay and others are not.

Shew.. sometimes I'm dense so some things need repeated.. lol. But, I always Listen. Poor listeners are terribly too annoying though, especially those who look away and you know they're not listening.. and then they turn around and they're like, "What?".. I have wanted to slap my friends around more than a few times over that one.. haha.. I understand your frustration with poor listeners.

Happy Birthday!! Have a good one!

Well I rarely visit other forums or writing sites, but I usually just go there to read authors that aren't on GA. As far as Forums are concerned nothing for me comes close to that. We have a lot of active members here and a lot of good discussions taking place every day. Other forums I visit sometimes barely have anyone online at all and not nearly as many posts of interest. The Live Chat is great. The Quality of stories in one place + the active forum can't be beat. (Awesomedude is the second place I visit on occasion) And yeah, it's important for me to stay here. I'm hosted here and I have friends here.

Happy Birthday!!

Aww, that's sad news. My thoughts are with you Emoe.

It could've been just a lot of Hosted Authors posting a chapter? Maybe Com, Dom, and etc. Or it could've been when an Anthology was posted.. lol. I went away right after that I think? Or a combination of the two. It could all be summed up to just plain boredom, lol.

I love McDonald's salads.. hmm.. I believe I'll keep getting them when I'm out and don't have enough time to sit down to eat at the better places.

Happy Birthday!!! Have a good one!

James, my gay friends recently got "married/engaged" well.. as Married as one can get in the state of Kentucky... They exchanged different things, Derek bought Greg a ring and a necklace. Greg bought Derek and ring and a bracelet they both matched in style and design. Small tokens that show love are romantic to me and I would like seeing gay couples do this, but I understand why some don't. For me personally, I have two engagement rings.. lol.. One from David (the first time me proposed, the second hasn't happened yet), and from Jared. I no longer wear the one from Jared as it would look extremely weird.. and really the ring no longer holds any emotional attachment with it.. BUT! David is incredibly wrong if he thinks he doesn't have to get me another ring.. lol. Anyway, the first time I was engaged to David I got him a bracelet, which he still wears. More women should buy their husbands engagement gifts in straight relationships.

Happy Birthday!!

Yes. A best friend normally has some of the qualities you find attractive in people or want. Attraction could develop or it could not. It could just be someone who you have a lot of things in common with, but usually best friends are someone that is at least similar I think.

Even though David isn't the perfect guy, I've attempted to answer this thread a few times and I've not really been able to do it.. lol. I mean it's difficult to say something that David doesn't fall under. So anyway, he does do things that annoy me, but they aren't massive. Like when he wears dress pants he pulls the legs up before he sits down, which is ok but he does it to where the bottom of his legs show.. they just seem to be up more than what other typical men do.. lol.. as a lot of men do that for some reason... He also bites his nails when his mother annoys him, I've never seen him bite his nails around me when we're alone, but when she's in the room being her chatty self usually either making fun of him or giving him pointers on how to treat me he starts biting his nails... haha.. I guess it's better than arguing with her. He also used to be a perfectionist, but being with me has actually stopped that stressful need that he has.. lol. I mean I even got him to play tackle football with me and the friends in the back yard when he had it in his mind that we would get all dressed up and go out... so that's a really good change in him. So anyway, he may not be perfect, but he fits.

I am celebrating a few weeks of freedom! The family is on vacation and I have the home all to myself... ahh. Also, I am HALFWAY finished with my Anniversary Anthology.

Lol, that picture was amusing, and thanks for commenting about the Newsletter.

Aww, Happy Canada Day!! I want to visit parts of Canada one of these days.

Happy Birthday!

Are you wanting a person we know personally who we admire for their accomplishments and attributes? Personally I would have to say David. He's in his first year working after completing his residency and medical school and shadowing and such as a full fledged doctor in one of the best hospitals in the state. I admire all the challenges and stress he goes through. He gets a lot of rewarding aspects, but also a lot of stress and sadness in his line of work, still though he moves forward every day. He has his hardships dealing with a lifestyle like that, but he has learned to manage them and he offers me the time I desire from him with no complaining, so what can I say.. lol.. I admire him a lot for what he does, but I'm biased 'cause I love him. Another person I admire is my Physical Therapy division chairwoman. She is extremely warm and intelligent in her field. She is accomplished as a physical therapist as well as a professor. Her accomplishments intimidated the hell out of me until I got to know her, she has been very helpful and I have succeeded well above my own expectations in this field with her help. She calls me her bothersome brat because I'm always calling her up and asking her things, but deep down I think she enjoys it.. lol.. Well she's told me that she does and she called me a few times over the summer to make sure I was still practicing and reading up.. I have her for three classes next semester and she said she's going to be pretty brutal.
