I don't think we have to worry about Menzo crashing a horse and buggy into the side of a barn . just kidding benji

Happy 21st Birthday Menzo (P) I hope you have a great day and a great year. You are witty beyond your years and are one of my most favourite domaholics. Take Care, Vic

Can I get a hitch installed on an Acura TSX? Shoot, I should have kept the GMC Envoy I traded in 3 years ago But otherwise it would have been a good idea if I had a hitcheable car.

I was doing a comparison on Cars.com and I think I picked the V-6 for the nissan. It just said 'premium' for the gas. I'll check when I go for a test drive. Thanks, Vic

Premium broke $4 this past week and was at $4.11 around here :wacko:

Price seems to be the only reason I'm considering the Ranger. The style being so 'dated' is what's really holding me back. It just doesn't have a lot of wow factor. I'm leaning towards new just because I don't want to deal with a used car. But maybe I should just to save $$$ I like the colorado, and I'd get my mom's employee discount if I buy the Chevy or the GMC canyon. Right now, there aren't any rebates on either...which is holding me back. I like the tacoma too, but it and the Nissan Frontier both require premium gas. Premium gas for a truck? When the f* did that happen? Nope, I'm already too butch to be reading that. Plus I don't like her on principle, she's too mean

I think I'm going to butch it up a little and buy a pickup truck as a 2nd vehicle. I've had one too many trips to Home Depot where I got dirt in my car. Or most recently, I had to have friends drive me in their truck(s) to drop off & pickup my lawnmower from a repair store. I don't need one of those monster Ford F150s, Nissan Titans, Toyota Tundra, Chevy Silverado things. I'd probably have to turn in my gay card if I got one of those . I'm thinking more mid-range, extended cab, 2 wheel drive, automatic. I won't be 4 wheeling it anywhere, I just need something I can haul stuff in. I want the extended cab & not the Crew Cab so that in a pinch I can squeeze a few people in back. I was considering one of the following: - Nissan Frontier - Ford Ranger - Chevy Colorado - Toyota Tacoma If anyone has any experience or advice, I'd appreciate it. Take Care, Vic

btw, a fanny pack is not complimentary to any gay mans outfit... if you were even considering a fanny pack.

Happy Birthday Dio-bolical! Hope you have a special one this year

So wait Menzo, if Domluka proposed to you, you'd decline? Opps, on 2nd thought, not a good example. After you'd fall in love with him and get used to having him around, he'd dissappear for 10 months... or more :wacko: . Take Care, Vic P.S. - I voted that I wanted to be proposed to

Happy 24th Birthday Vancey Pantsies!

Happy 18th Birthday Kurtie!!!! Hope you have a great b-day and a great start on adulthood

I was PMedly asked to explain what 'Dairy Queen' meant, so I figured I would explain here in case some others didn't know. Dairy Queen(n) - A gay man only attracted to caucasians . (#2 on the Urban Dictionary ) Dairy...Milk...White A Rice Queen is a guy who only dates asians.

I don't think it's wrong to be racially specific in whom you are attracted to. You can't help what you are and aren't attracted to. Some people like hairy, others smooth...tall others short, boy next doorblond hair/blue eyes others nerdy/pale/thin as a stick. Race is just another factor for some people. Personally, I'm only attracted to white guys (and the nerdy/pale/thin variety make my toes curl ) . I'm asian, and I've always only been attracted to white guys. I prefer the moniker Dairy Queen over potato

Happy 23rd Birthday Ben!!!!!! Hope Seb gives you something special for your Bday

Congrats on losing the weight Jamie! Although I can't imagine where you lost 40 from. Your older picks don't show you carrying that much extra. Good luck on quiting smoking . Just like with you losing weight and getting healthier, your will power is going to get you through this. It's all you Take Care®, Vic

Happy 19th birthday Martin! Hope you have a good day, a good year, and lot's of crumpets! *font colour matches his hair colour*

Thanks for this blog entry James!!! I think I'm going to regularly go through the list you made on my home PC.

Happy 30th Birthday Lugh!!!! Hope you have a great one

Hey GA old-timers. Long time no blog. I haven't been on GA as much as I used to for many reason (mostly cause Dom has been quiet), but also because for the last three and 1/2 months, I've been on a serious diet and workout kick. Well last tuesday, I hit my weight goal and lost 40 lbs. You see, sometime after thanksgiving, I weighed myself and hit a number I hadn't seen in years. Due to a combination of old age, slowing metabolism, and just poor eating (curses you Carl's Jr), I gained 25 and hit 200lbs . I guess I had been getting fat for 2 years, and I knew it and my clothes knew it. But hitting 200 was a big shock, so I resolved to getting into better shape. I turn 40 this year, so my goal was 'Lose 40 by 40'. Through a combination of better eating and better working out, I'm in better shape now than I I've been in the last 20 years . Here's what I changed: On the food front - - No fast food - in the last 4 months (I think I've had french fries twice) - No breakfast pastries, but oatmeal or cereal with skim milk instead - 4 or 5 pieces of fruit each day. Anytime I was hungry, I would eat a piece of fruit instead of candy or a cookie - Lunch consisted of salad - mostly vegetables, some tuna on top, no dressing, and a plain bagel - My normal dinner was a bag of those frozen vegetables from Bird's Eye that steam in a microwaveable bag. I think they are one of the greatest inventions of the 2000's. I also cut up some chicken breast and ate that with the veggies. On the exercise front - - While I used to workout daily before this recent health kick, I increased the intensity and stopped reading the paper on the stationary bikes. I would sometimes even do a 2nd workout in a day. - I started taking spinning (cycling) classes, at first once a week, now I'm doing them three times a week). Each of those workouts kick my ass, I love them! - I'm probably doing 300+ situps or ab crunches everyday. I'm actually starting to get some definition in my abs (dare I say the tiniest hint of a six pack under that skin). I never had toned abs before in my life! - When the weather got nicer, I would try to do an outdoor activity by rollerblading 10 miles, biking 18 miles, or running 4 miles. So with a lot of hard work and dietary discipline I got down to 160lbs last tuesday . Now, I'm just trying to maintain my weight but still build muscle tone in my abs and upper body. I was geeked when the size 31 jeans I had been wearing recently kept falling off my ass and I had to go to the Banana Republic and buy size 30 straight leg jeans. They fit awesomely and I still have extra room in them! The drawback is that I've probably spend $750 on new clothes recently . I guess I was motivated to lose the weight for several reasons...health, age, as well to attract a man. I was so unhappy with my looks before that I really wasn't considering dating. Hopefully by feeling better about the way I look, I'll have a better shot of finding Mr. Right . Oh, a So here's a picture of me taken yesterday by my roomate... The A&F muscle shirt is sort of a joke. I used to always skoff at men over 30 wearing A&F, so my ex got me the shirt. I probably can only wear it for a few more months because it's definitely a sin for a 40yo to wear A&F . You can't see all the grey that's been sprouting on my head, but I am getting more lines & wrinkles and such on the face...grrrrrr crows feet

I hope you didn't say the 'Look! There's only one of me...' to the crying kid and that you reserved that for one of your adult friends?

Happy 32nd Birthday to Joana, one of the Domaholic's back from the Yahoogroup days Hope you have a good day and a good year! Take Care®, Vic

I've often thought about taking a long term contracting job overseas. The money & adventure would be the biggest motivators 'For', but one thing I always worried about was being openly gay wherever I ended up. I'd worry about that in a predominantly Muslim country. Anywho, good luck no matter what you decide
