Here's an Idea: A lot of people don't know how many GLBT people there really are. Many of our brothers and sisters are shamed or intimidated into staying in the closet. Here's something that you can do without actually coming out and still make a serious statement. For every $1 bill you get, give ole George a stash and eyebrows. After we get a few zillion of these out there and everybody has seen them, we let it be know that these are GAYBUCKS.

HA! You two can fight it out over the girl. I want Long-Haired Boy. The kitten...

I had a 2 layer red velvet cake with cream cheese icing and french vanillia ice cream. Props to Comsie! This is a holiday I can really get behind.

But maybe I

If I'm supposed to have Gaydar, then mine needs a tune up.

I've gotta hand it to you Luc- those are some happy looking kitties! Quite at ease and comfortable in their own furr. My poor kitty is a little psycho. Some kids were mean him as a kitten so he's real shy and skitish with everyone but me. With me it's a different story. He's at ease and sleeps; snoring like a freight train. Let a stranger enter the house and he turns on his cat cloaking device. It's really quite remarkable to see.

Naked is cool but its a lot like speedo. Those that should wear speedo never do and those that should never wear speedo often do. I think it's a corollary of Murphy's Law. We actually worked out a mathmatical proof called the Theorm of Probability of Appropriate Speedo Wear on another board. JS

Dom Life is all about change. I hope that you find them for the better. I hope you get all the work you want and make plenty of money. We miss you when you're busy but we'll be here when you get back. Best wishes, JS

Wow- that kitten has camera presence. I might have named her Garbo. Got one of Butterball & Butterscotch?

Happy birthday Luigi.

Happy birthday Luc! I'll bet the kittens are throwing you a party.

There may be some confusion over the thesis of this article. By sexual desire, the authors refer to libido- not orientation. In the debate between nature and nurture on the origin of homosexuality, I base my argument on experience rather than experiment. If it couldn't be beaten out of me, it had to be nature. I would have no sooner chosen to be gay than to grab a red-hot pot on a stove. The pain involved would have been quite enough incentive to make a different "choice".

We grow too soon old and too late smart. - Pennsylvania Dutch proverb

I don't know the guy but I'm sure he isn't going to be problematic. The vast majority of shrinks know that 18 isn't too young to know that you are gay. In fact, most people I know will tell you that they knew before 10. You are just so young is one of the many things parents grasp at while they are in denial. Don't worry- it is NOT the worst by far. You could be in one of the X-gay concentration camps.

That's funny. Mine has always been in some one elses jeans!

Hi SB- Last fall when Katrina waxed Mississippi, the power was out in most places fron 1-4 weeks. We didn't know when it was going to come back on so we had "freezer feasts" where we BBQed everything in the freezers that thawed out before it went bad. In some of the worst hit areas, stuff in freezers went bad and cooked for a while in the late summer sun. It's bad enough to get your city wacked by a hurricane but the bad, funky cloud of decomposing pot-roasts is adding insult to injury. Glad to see you. JS

I take a look at a number of scientific jounals every month to see what is new. I thought I might share this as it might be of interest. The material is OK as I have cited it and created links to its source. Your thoughts and impressions are welcome of course. _____________________________________________________________________________ Study: Sexual Desire is in Your Genes By LiveScience Staff May 29, 2006 Source Link Your sexual desire or lack thereof could be in your genes, scientists announced today. The discovery might change how psychologists view sexuality. The researchers found that individual differences in human sexual desire can be attributed to genetic variations. The study is the first to provide data to show that common variations in the sequence of DNA impact on sexual desire, arousal and function, the researchers said. The scientists, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, examined the DNA of 148 healthy male and female university students and compared the results with questionnaires asking for the students' self-descriptions of their sexual desire, arousal and sexual function. They found a correlation between variants in a gene called the D4 receptor and the students' self-reports on sexuality. The results suggest that low sexual desire might be a normal biological condition rather than a psychological problem, the researchers say. Further, it might be possible to develop drugs to alter sexual desire based on the new findings. The research was led by Richard Ebstein and was published in the online version of the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

Yeah- when I moved, I went through a significant bandwidth withdrawal. Going from DSL down to 36kbs was horrible. I'm surprised I was able to do as much as I could with dialup. I made a sixty meg download but I started it before I went to sleep and it finished the next morning . One of the best things about Dangerfield was that he was great about helping new talent establish themselves. He was very helpful in the careers of Bobcat, Sam Kinson, Rosanne (well, nobody is perfect), Cho and many others. A lot of top billed guys in the entertainment business are pretty arrogant. They wouldn't help a fly into the afterlife. Rodney wasn't like that and it got Dangerfield a great deal of respect (despite his tagline).

Yeah- I'm tickled pink about the DSL. I think it stands for "Doesn't Suck out-Loud. I could have gotten high speed cable but that would have meant dealing with Time-Warner- the evil empire that controls the local cable system. I hates them, I hates them forever Precious. I'd rather have my internet via smoke signals. I like Carlin a lot. I didn't list him cause he's still alive. I think Mencia is the best of the new crop.

Dangerfield rocked! He was great but he wasn't really that old. He went before his time because he partied way too hard for way too long. Past 60, you've gotta slow down some. I like Chappelle! The other two I haven't seen much of.

Hi Demetz Welcome! I know as much about Islam as I know about say- the Andromeda galaxy. It's there, it's big and complex but I've never mixed or mingled with anyone from there. That is half the fun of the net-- even a redneck from the sticks like me can meet all sorts of people. Word up to any Andromedians that might be online. JS

Why is it that all the comedians that I like are dead? Sam Kinson, Rodney Dangerfield, Lenny Bruce: I mean WTF? I must be getting old. I know there are lots of younger people on the board who probably don't remember these guys. Do yourself a favor and look them up. You'll laugh your ballz off! Well, that's an exaggeration. OK, so you'll just laugh and in all probability, you will sustain no debilitating injuries. In other matters... After suffering with dial-up Internet access for a year and 2 months, DSL finally became available in my new neighborhood! I've got my broadband on and I'm loving online life again. Chuckles, JS
