paya

And it's delicious! Though I could stand it only on Saturdays or Sundays, once a week at most, and usually when I expect to be active so that I burn it off. Otherwise I'm trying to stuff myself at the beginning of the day but so far it's not going as easy as I would wish also the smaller portions are not what I succeed in... but I'm getting there, hopefully

Me too!!!

you know Benji... if you were outed 20 years ago, I guess Mike would already know... so if you tell him you liked him, it should not be such a big surprise - there always was the possibility. Of course, I don't know him (nor you) that well to make more conclusions. But my take on the situation is, if you tell him - and add that he looks still damn sexy - you'll probably only make him feel better about himself (even if guys don't want to admit it, it makes them feel nice that somebody still finds them attractive ) ohhhh vanity!

I know about a place near St. Michel where they have them!

Yeah, I would follow up on a story like this. Though I'm a sucker for happy endings - no matter who ends up happy.

And more importantly, what stops the freaks from setting up a private clinic where they would experiment with "little strokes" to "un-gay" people?!!

The problem is, after this guy's experience, who would be willing to take after him and go on in work for the benefit of the gay community? And risk that after they let out yet another lunatic for "an hour walk" they might never come back home?

This is really hard to believe. I had to re-check that it wasn't published on April 1st.

:o :o **drooling** and there's more on youtube! :-o That guy is great!

I was like... for real? Literally! I cringe every time I hear somebody talking like that. The use of these words in a wrong context just shows lack of education or feeble vocabulary. I hate both.

Is it because you're a dancing queen?

Thanks guys! Your kind words mean A LOT!

I'm not sure how to start this and not get lost in too much explaining and details. OK, so the shortest version possible, hopefully not too simplified. Everyone has some soft spots. Some people have less, some people have more. For me, one of the biggest ones is self-dignity and how others perceive me. I know I should not care but I do. The other big one is "personal failures" or what I see as a personal failure, even if others might call them re-evaluation of my objectives or whatever. I have lots of those. I tend to not finishing things I start. I get easily excited for something, immerse in it, then something happens or changes, I lose focus, interest, abandon it and run away. Or hide it somewhere where nobody can find it (and see my failure). The less people knows about them the better. But some of them are... quite known. Like the case with my Ph.D. I went through two years during which I lost illusions, found a steady full-time job, got another focus and completely lost any motivation in pursuing an academic career. Which of course clashed with the internal rules of the university resolving in an ending of my studies. It wasn't sudden, I knew it was coming, did nothing to prevent it, because I accepted it but still it hurt inside. It was an end of another era, one could say 22-year long era of my continuous studies, and it wasn't exactly as glorious as I would wish, or expected a few years ago. But it happened. I moved on, didn't lose the friends and still see them, even if sparsely. Today it was used against me in a Facebook Wall conversation. I know, how pathetic! But I was called on "barely getting through two semesters of Ph.D." and some other stuff. And it stung. I thought I had got over it but it spoiled most of my day and I spent it thinking up millions of great and rightful (and some a bit nasty ) retorts just to defend my honour and good name. Even if I lost any respect I might have had for that person and I could rationally argue with myself that they are not worth any effort (and I haven't replied in there anyway), it still got me pretty low, and opened some laboriously closed issues about self-valuation. So I was jabbed into a wound that would have needed some time to heal properly even without that. And I spent the day discovering I still don't know how to cope with these. :-( Even if I don't care what that person is thinking of me, what are OTHERS thinking? Do they see me the same way, as pathetic and loser? Do they agree with that statement? I see it as a public humiliation and since on the internet you never know how many people are watching, how to deal with that? But in general, how to deal with stabs in your soft spot?

draw somebody masculine...

Trevor can still be her first born.

bah, ten days is not bad! I thought it was over a month...

well I think MikeL was aiming at the fact that old eggs are lighter therefore ... hmmm.... would that help in balancing the egg or not? Fresh eggs definitely hold together better which would make it easier to balance I guess. But you say you managed to balance an old egg...?

11) tour the National Gallery in FULL 12) see all the "small" sights in London 13) tour the coffee places in London 14) tour the markets of London and pick up the best to shop at 15) visit the Olympic Park at least once during the Games! (I know, so many PEOPLE! But for the atmosphere!) well... that's a lot of spending money... so I guess we should add 0) save money for the future Ohhh and 16) find a swimming pool!

I'm sorry Lily but you should tell her you reconsidered. I know it will make you feel bad about yourself - but as I see it, this will be only for a limited, short period of time, while if you do start living with her, then you will be miserable constantly. Of course there is the other option - to tell her what bugs you about her and make her change her ways. But that is not usually successful and it doesn't help to a harmonic living either. This might sound harsh but for your own good, do what you need to do - live to be happy. Living in stress or unhappiness is not worth it and doesn't help to anything.

Or Champs de Mars by the Eiffel Tower. Or the Isle de la Cité by the River. I thought Luxembourg Gardens were more for lounging, never saw anyone eating or drinking there... Do you mean Versailles Gardens? The have a night programme that is fabulous but quite expensive... And I'm not sure it's on in September, need to check. Well obviously we would prefer the UK banking holiday but we can always start early and you join us later.

The most amazing, fabulous, spectacular, superb, and MODEST man in the world was born this day!!! And I have him all for myself! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE! I hope I will make it unforgettable!

Well I think that this could work how to change it.

There was a thread about Brendan Burke, the first openly gay guy linked with the ice hockey. He passed away in 2009 after a car accident but his father and brother want to go on with his legacy. More info here. This is how they do it:

I guess I can officially sign us up for the event, that is me and Westie. Though I will want to show my man to the city I fell in love with and I might get all sentimental too, all those memories and all, so I might drag him around if the weather is nice. And if we can afford it (and get days off) we might stay for a bit longer than two or three days. But we'll see - I can take it slowly because I'm moving just two hours and ten minutes away from Paris!!! :D So yeah, we'll definitely be around and I have already a few ideas where we could go. And we definitely HAVE TO make a real Parisian pique-nique!!!

Well I think we're derailing the thread but it's your own... Well you need to come and ask in person, then you might get an answer.
