  1. I would have loved to give it a try, since I never knew my own father.
  2. Allow me to clarify something else. The abbreviation i.e. stands for 'that is' or 'in other words.' You should have used the abbreviation e.g., which means 'for example.'
  3. A heartfelt welcome to all our newcomers.
  4. Happy birthday, Joey. Hope you remember to watch out for the bull's horns.
  5. Gee, Celethiel, blue hair used to be associated with old ladies, so I'm going to guess you're looking for 'walker' power or the ability to mend broken hips. lol
  6. I would like to be able to compel people to 'SEE' the truth.
  7. I concur. It's a shame he went out on such a low note.
  8. When we got to the hospital, I had to tell the doctor what had happened, since Aiden couldn’t remember much about what had occurred. He’d been pretty much out of it after getting hit with the bat, so I was left to explain what I thought had taken place, since I hadn’t really seen him get hit either. Fortunately, Aiden was able to tell the doctor he’d been struck in the back, so after a cursory examination he was wheeled down to have a few x-rays taken. Of course, I wasn’t able to go with him
  9. This semester, Aiden and I had worked it so we had three classes together, but unfortunately we couldn’t arrange our entire schedule this way. Having more classes together allowed us additional opportunities to study together as well, but even though I was going to be studying with Aiden more, it still wasn’t the best part. That honor fell to the fact that I was no longer afraid or embarrassed to walk around campus holding Aiden’s hand or kissing him in public before we went off in different d
  10. The next morning we awoke and made our way around the house to see who had ended up where. Eventually, we found Blake and his girlfriend, but they obviously hadn’t had the same great time Aiden and I had. Blake informed us later that his girlfriend was very cold to him after they arrived, because she said she was pissed about the way he had acted at her friend’s party. Blake said he tried to explain to her that he attempted to enjoy himself there and he ate, danced and chatted with her friend
  11. My pet peeve is 'gay haters.'
  12. Happy Birthday Jen
  13. Yes, Happy Birthday Riley.
  14. Yes, Kevin has had his share of rough breaks. Maybe things will begin looking up for his soon.
  15. For me, it would have to be any of the Saw movies or hostel. For some reason, I keep envisioning myself being the victim.
  16. Welcome Fitz and Jacob911. I hope your time here is pleasurable.
  17. When a parent opts to bring a child into the world they are supposed to accept and love that child unconditionally. I know it doesn't always work that way, but it should. If we want to talk about morality, is it right for the parents to turn their back on their child merely because he is gay? Let's just say Billy should remain quiet and take the college eductation as payment for the 'pain and suffering' his parents have put him through, since he had to listen to their homophobic rants and internatlzed the pain from listening to that crap. If Billy is morally wrong for hiding his orientation, the parents were equally immoral for turning their backs on him just for being gay.
  18. I know. I'm late to the party again, but Happy Birthday anyway.
  19. Happy Birthday, Matt.
  20. With the right person and taking every precaution available, I would have to say I would. At my age, you take love whenver you find it.
  21. Mlaybe it's a generational thing, but I've never been a fan of anime, even though others have tried to convince me.
  22. I guess I'm not too original, but I'd also have to say various shades of blue and green.
  23. Bill W

    Poem

    I found your poem to be very touching and moving. I'm not sure if this was a personal message or a generalization for all of the parents that have treated their children harshly and unfairly, but it was very effective. I hope some young person who had a troubling relationship with his parents would read this and think it came from them. It might help to ease the pain.
  24. Happy Birthday, Krista.
  25. Yes, the ravens are a big deal at the Tower of London. If there are no more raven, legend has it the Tower and Britian will fall, as in an attack. What a sacriledge. I use at least half a bottle of malt vinegar on my fish and chips. An acquired taste from my time in the UK.
