Gawd... that was mean ... I turn the sound off so that the other person in the house doesn't hear the sounds that seem to come from this site. I turned them on to hear the video ... and jumped out of my seat. As far as the second video ... I think the kid is spending too much time playing video games and needed a bit of cardiovascular workout :king: Snow Dog

Thanks Kitty. I think you hit the nail on the head. In the end, I decided that I was just going to root for Joey Cheek. I'll stick with curling ... it's about my speed :wacko: :king: Snow Dog

My god ... this is a f**king record :king: Snow Dog

good luck on that surgery. Let us all know how things go :king: Snow Dog PS. Finished DD26 for your records

Dogs and landlords can be a big issue ... and the devil is always in the details One should never own a large or 'outside' dog without a fully fenced yard. That is an absolute rule ... in fact, should be law in suburban neighborhood ... obviously in the country ... Electronic fences with shock collars work well, but they fail to protect the dog from predators or other dogs. Xan isn't following mom because it is mom, Xan is following mom because she is pack leader. Time for you to become pack leader Ronnie, but that means not always being the nice guy. Training Xan not to follow his mom is just like training him not to drink out of a toilet ... it requires patience, vigilance, and determination. good luck :king: Snow Dog PS my 280lbs worth of dog (2 of them) are 'indide' dogs. You should hear the babies whine if they are outside for too long ... unless they hear their collars rattle.

My dad left when I was 18 and still in HS. He was kind enough to choose the Saturday before the AP as the best time to tell my mom & me. He said he was waiting until I was out of HS and I guess he just couldn't take it anymore (something I am beginning to understand). Needless to say he had been having an affair for a few years with his current girlfriend/life-partner. This was 20 years ago, and he has now been with this woman almost as long as he was with my mom. She refuses to marry him because she was married once and doesn't want to go that route. You can imagine the issues my mom had with us spending ANY time with him. Because I was still at home when he left ... it was bad. What I have learned in the last 20 years is that my parents are separate people who are equally important in my life. My mom is a loving, judgemental, hypochondriac with real, severe medical issues. My dad is a conservative (non-religious) republican who would take a knife and cut his heart out to protect his kids ... as long as he didn't have to talk about it. I learned that I do with my dad what I want and give no concern to what my mom thinks ... and I do things with my mom, and my dad doesn't care. It took nearly for a decade for my mom to learn to deal with it. She has learned that is she doesn't want to know if I have done something with my dad DON'T ASK. I will not volunteer it. College_Guy ... one of your reasosns for depression is the knowledge that your family isn't going to accept you, yet you cannot find it in yourself to accept your dad. If you want him in your life ... be a part of his ... if your mom and siblings stop talking to you because of it, in my experience it is their loss, not yours. You will not please everyone ... so please yourself. What you do with your dad has NOTHING to do with your mom ... THEY ARE DIVORCED ... similarly what you do with your mom has nothing to do with your dad. By putting yourself in the middle as an emotional caretaker, you are setting yourself up to be played. Let your family know you are done playing the bullshit games, and that they can just learn to deal., Depression comes from 2 basic sources 1) organic issues in the brain 2) lack of control over your life If you let you mom, your dad, your siblings, or your god didctate your life for you ... you will be depressed. You want to know what to do ... What would you do if your mom and siblings were dead, and all you had was your dad? ... or put a different way ... how do you want your dad to treat you when he finds out you are gay? Treat him with the same respect and maybe you will find that he respects you too. I'm not saying 'be his best man' ... I'm saying treat him with respect and consider your relationship with him independently of your other family members with their own agendas. :king: Snow Dog

Congrats ... Talon is a coup in my opinion ... you know, pretty soon he'll catch up to me and I can be the first to read the new stuff Sorry about the noggin ... something tells me that as hard as your head is, that the post took the brunt of the damage :king: Snow Dog

1. Making phone calls to people I don't know 2. disappointing people when I don't plan to

I think so ... but I'm a freak :king: Snow Dog Miss ya guy

Opinions aside, attitudes aside, games aside, stories aside, this is worth knowing. I got an email today from none other than our own Mikie. He says that Wilma basically destroyed their house, and now that they have a roof, water and electricity, they have a computer, but not much else. He did not whine or complain or ask for anything. He just said that he missed talking to me and that he was still seeing a therapist. So .. he may be back here, and he may not ... up to him :king: Snowflake

Oh, Shit, he might find some of mine :king: Snow Dog

Thank you for not being offended by the tennor of my comments on your announcement, people here know me, and know where my real comments end and my jest begins (at least I hope they do ). :king: Snow Dog

Hola Nicko, I had a bunch of crap that I wrote, and it was all sappy. I'll just give you a and remind you that dreams are wack. :king: Snow Dog

ROFLMAO, just to make you feel better, my stepson still has us cut his steak for him. Of course it is because he is lazy, and well, I'm a pushover, but hey, he is 17. :king: Snow Dog

I'm hesitant to post here for obvious reasons (not being an author), but since the post itself was about 300 words, I would like to point out that, with a limit of 1500 words, most of our hosted authors wouldn't even be to the flush when describing a piss, much less create a coherent image Of course there are other styles that some may wish to explore :king: Snow Dog On second though, I think many could write a hot piss scene (although not my personal fetish)

Some Dogs are considerd valuable presents. know where I can find one? :king: Snow Dog

Well, it is after midnight here on the east coast, so I though I could wish shadows a very happy 18th Birthday. He's Legal now :king: Snow Dog

To some of us 38 seems about right. Too young to have a wealth gay kid, but, well, I got started late :king: Snow Dog

This thread has become a virtual Who's Who at GA. I'm not gonna fill you full of crappy feel-good stuff, that just isn't my style (unless there is a chance to get you in bed). It has a place, but where you are ... isn't the place. My bottom line on your last post is simple. You want both your sexuality and your 3 f's (faith, friends and family). Well, killing yourself gives you none. Killing yourself because you are gay, well, you lose the 3 f's just as if you were alive. Let me be clear, if you tell them you are killing yourself because you are gay, it will not stop them from distancing/hating you, only it will be distance and hatred of a memory. If you don't tell them youare doing it because you are gay then you deny the memory of yourself your sexuality. If you would lose your 3f's in life, you will lose them in death. Either way, you have to choose ... not about who loves you or will talk to you, but about who you are. Live or die you have to choose to tell the truth and force THEM to decide if they still accept you, or Lie and let them live in the ignorance that is killing you -- they will remember someone, but it won't be you. Choosing to die, means that you take away the chance that one friend or family member loves you, the real you, heck they may all surprise you. I'm not gonna convince you one way or the other, nobody here will. All I can say is that, if you kill yourself, I will miss seeing you around once in a while, and in all honesty, I will lose a bit of my fear. Snow Dog P.S. Do not read anything into the fact that I wrote this at 4am

Just to add a bit to the discussion I figured out how to fold them at a young age (actually I saw it as more of a topolology problem, but I'm a geek). I basically did it just like Viv said (of course), a few years ago, I was watching Marths Stewart (to annoy my wife) and she taught us how to do it the right (her) way. Needless to say I got a big grin on my face because Martha said I (and Viv) did something right. So now ya know that you have learned the 'correct' way. Oh and greg_jr. I don't even want to know what is on those sheets after a month :king: Snow Dog
