Sad day. It's been exactly one year since Dom last logged into GA(7/14/2010). About 16 months since he last blogged(3/27/2010) and about 16 months since he posted With Trust Chapter 21 (3/12/2010). I remember a time when 10 days between chapter postings was unbearable....who knew. Dom has been and is still my all time favorite author. I still have vivid memories of many details of the stories: - The fruit punch taste on Owen's lips when he kissed Travis - Owen waking up in the hospital with his brothers - Quinn punching Brad - Aaron writing his phone number on a dairy queen receipt using rory's back - Luke giving Rory a kiss in the basement And if you're reading this....Good luck Dom, wherever you are. Hopefully you are happy and hope you one day get back to your writing. Take Care, Vic

You'll be the "Mitchel & Cam" of the neighborhood when you bring back your baby

LOL, thanks Sharon! She must not like Hershey's kisses

Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes! I had a nice birthday eve dinner with a big ass slice of cheesecake at the end of it. For the actual birthday, ran 12 miles with a buddy, and then biked 31 miles, to get to a total of 43 to match my new age ! I did splurge quite a bit afterwards eating about 1/2 a container of Mint chocolate chip ice cream (thank goodness they've been downsizing those containers from 2quarts down to about 1.5quarts ) and big ass slice of german chocolate cake. No gym crush date yet, but maybe this year will be the year! Thanks again!

Hey Robbee, Good job on keeping up the brave face in front of him. Others may get to find out how you really feel (like us), but no sense in letting him know how much he affected you. Glad you were able to make some lemonade out of your lemon. Take Care, Vic

I didn't see it on your list, but since you like Domluka, I think you'll enjoy Human Condition by JFinn (if you haven't already read it). Dom and JFinn are both in my top 5. Take Care, Vic

I just hope I'm not one of those gym bunnies that the catty queens want to sink their claws into .

I wish there was more news/progress on the gym crush front. Don't worry Paya, this will be the first place I'll come running to post if/when anything happens.

Lol Mike, exercise is fun for me! When I run, it's usually very social as I'm chatting with the guys. In between sets at the gym, my eyes are usually wandering looking at the guy-candy. It's easier to do so covertly at the gym due to all the mirrors.

Perhaps it is the individual authors themselves choosing how to spell (or not spell) the word out. I remember Dom using 'Nucking Futs'. It certainly got the point across.

okay, for the month of May (which ended today): 29 Runs for 191 miles (6.58/miles average) 46 Gym workouts, with 13 of those being primarily Spartacus workouts 5 Rollerbladings for 56 miles 8 Outdoor Bike Rides for 128 miles 88 total Workouts/Activities It's a little shocking to add it all up (and that doesn't include mowing the lawn or other household/yard stuff). I'm not sure what to think about it. whether it's good or bad, whether I can maintain the pace, or actually add onto it. Starting to get some ab definition. yay! Also think I'm getting a rep as a gym bunny as some of the workers have seen me there twice in the same day. I'm generally low key at the gym (no exaggerated grunting or flexing in the mirrors). But I do have one "show off-ie" kinda thing I'm proud of. When I do chinups, I've been lifting extra weight by holding a dumbell with my feet. I've gotten to where I can do 3 sets of 10 pull ups while lifting a 30lb dumbell. And here's the kicker. After doing all that, I gained 3 lbs . *sigh* off to the gym (hope gym crush is there )

oh my, you're right. I think when I do plan to do any drinking, I should leave my cell phone at home. Could you imagine what *liquid courage* could do? I might mistakenly proclaim my love to him in text.

Kevin!!!!! When I looked at 'View New Content' and saw that you responded to several threads, I was so excited to see that you've popped in to GA. Glad to hear you're doing well!!! Take Care, Vic

Paya, Whatever you decide, just try to do the best to not have any regrets (mostly in regard to your PhD, but applicable to everything else). If you've come this far and decide to set working on your PhDaside, it might not be something that you can pick up where you left off later. Just remember, no regrets. Best of luck with whatever you decide. Vic

Today I gave my Gym Crush my business card with my cell phone number on it. We had been chatting off and on at the gym for the last couple of weeks and he mentioned now that the weather was getting warmer that he'd like to come running with my group at some point. I told him he was always welcome and just to let me know ahead of time so that I would make sure someone (me) would definitely be there. Just about an hour ago, he texted me thanking me for my contact info as well giving me his last name. So now I know his last name 'officially'. And his cell. Getting a text - That's gotta be a 'base' in this day in age, isn't it? Is it like 2nd base maybe?

Happy Birthday Myr!!! Hope you have a great day!

Whew, I was almost late to this party! Happy 48th Birthday Mark!!! I can't believe it's been over 5 years since I've known you online (lol and it's been years since I've written a skit that featured you). Hope you had a great day and enjoy the two remaining years of your 40s! Take Care®, Vic

Happy Mother's Day Sharon! Glad you had a rockin' day

It's all relative to who you're hanging out with in a given situation. When I'm hanging out with the 55-65yo gay queens, I'm the young chicken that gets pawed on . When I'm with the 20something students, I'm the middle aged sage .

Nah, was up to go running at 6am. I gots to keep fit & trim so that I can snare a husband like you did. Then I could sleep in .

Happy Birthday Frostie!!!!!

Happy 22nd Birthday P-Cakes! Hope it's fabulous for you!

Happy 47th Birthday Andy!!!! Hope you have a great day! P.S. - Don't forget to change your 'Age' in your profile. It currently says 46. You aren't that young anymore

I usually fast forward through commercials, but luckily I watching this one about the 'It gets better" Project while watching Glee. First I heard about it. Great concept... "Many LGBT youth can't picture what their lives might be like as openly gay adults. They can't imagine a future for themselves. So let's show them what our lives are like, let's show them what the future may hold in store for them." http://www.itgetsbetter.org/

Oh Congrats Bleu! Enjoy the blue skys!
