American football... it's a religion here in the South.

Nick- I hope it goes well for you. Any surgery is a little spooky but... it's a good excuse to eat ice cream. Let us know how it goes. -James

MYR is also used in astronomy & astrophysics in relation to the age and evolution of stars and other objects. It's short for Mega YeaRs or Million Years. e.g. Many geophysicists estimate the age of our planet to be between 8,000 to 6,000 MYR. I'm sure that it doesn't have anything to do with our Myr who doesn't look a day over 24.

Oh you are full of good news Vic. Oh well, for monster Pecs, it's worth it. Beefcake, BEEFCAKE!

Thanks for the tips guys. There is a whirlpool at the gym, tomorrow I'm going to submerge. For now, it's motrim. A suppliment with magnesium and zinc will help the body gain muscle mass, and also ramp up your sex drive I'm not sure that's a good idea. The eye candy at the gym is going that just fine.

It's been a while since I belonged to a health club but I joined one this week. Working out is supposed to be good for you but I feel like I've been beaten? Ow, ow, ow, ow! My pecs feel like a big fat guy has been walking on them with cletes. Any suggestions for how to get rid of the soreness?

From Broken, Chapter 2 Scotty had something really special going for him. He was just so cute and so much fun that it was ridiculous. Some of the most forbidding and stern adults would melt in his presence. One Christmas he was the photographic model for a Christmas card angel of all things. Sure- you could get mad at the little guy but good luck trying to stay that way. He would look up at you with those big, blue puppy dog eyes and you would melt on the spot like so much butter on a hot roll. Here is how I described Scotty in my story Broken. Any way that works I suppose but if you are careful and crafty, you can paint a picture of your character and let the reader fill it in with his imagination. Here's another method. I'm just too damn tall. It makes me somewhat clumsy and awkward. I'm always tripping over my size 12 feet. My buddy Sam calls my shoes kayaks and threatens to take them out to some white water. I don't know. I guess tall and skinny beats short and fat but did I have to have red hair? Cripes, I look like a lit match! With a name like Shawn, I'm so Irish that I might as well just go strait to Alcoholics Anonymous and save myself a lot of trouble.

Do keep in mind- Billy is what- 15? Sure adults may have read Jimmy's behavior as dangerous or suicidal but Billy is a kid. Sure- there is a lot of suicide awareness stuff out there now but how many kids are going to put all the pieces together? It's not like Billy doesn't have a few things going on. Betrayal by his best friend, his parents splitting up, etc.

Green for Gay Czar! :king:

My name is Green and I'm a TOU addict. hehehe... No 12 step program is necessary. You can't get arrested for driving under the influence of Dom.

Dom That's the kind of data that nobody wants to process. It's an ugly fact of life that we all discover that people that we care about have feet of clay. I don't have any words that can make the sting go away. Just know that you are not alone in this. Many people discover things that are far worse than cheating. -JS

Dom- I know what it's like to get stuck on a chapter. In fact, I addressed the subject in my blog (the Paralysis of Over-Analysis). Non-authors sometimes don't fully appreciate the impact of real-life on an authors output. Like say... it's very difficult to crank out a story when your power is down for a week after a hurricane. As writers, we're vulnerable to all of the time consuming stuff that everbody else is like weddings, funerals, family reunions, overtime... or the many things that can make life hectic and crowded. So... I understand. -JS

Hi Nick- Just remember that "too" works where you could put "also". eg. Are you going too? I want some nuts on my sundae too. Now- in other matters. You are one of a number of very impressive young people that frequent this site. The site is richer for your presence. Fight the good fight as your conscious leads you and I'll never hold it against you. -JS

Great story notTed. Just remember- if your S/O asks if something makes them look fat, the answer is ALWAYS NO regardless of their orientation.

Sure- if you can aford it. A lot of university towns have vastly overpriced apartments to cash in on students who don't want to share athletes foot and the flu with everybody on their floor. Some Unis have a policy about freshmen staying in the dorm unless they are local commuters. Depends on where you go and how stuffy they are.

Mark- Sometimes I though that you were going to choke Snowie but I forget that we're GUYS. We can fight like heck and then 10 minutes later we're chasing the ice cream truck. We may get older but... we're still guys. ..and it's a damned good situation if you ask me. -JS

Glad that you are OK Dom but I know how difficult it can be when friends and family are facing "challenges". Been there, done that, got a closet full of t-shirts.

I figured that you were way too smart to step in that trap. ...but it is fun to know that you still turn heads.

Careful Green. Don't let a happy memory cause insecurity to creep into your current relationship. I've seen this scenario play out among str8 couples to disastrous results.

Dom- I hope everything turns out OK for you. -JS

Congrats Lore! I hope that all goes well!

I am right there with you. It is hard to imagine this place without Snowie's paw prints.

Just a quick question: How do you externally address a blog? [web address for a blog here from outside] When I was creating mine, I saw it but it went by too fast to see. -JS

I liked it too... ...but I needed a smoke afterwards.
