Steve's finger approves!!!

They were two really great guys, outcast by their families, as so many gays were. My Mom became their surrogate Mom, and we were an alternative family unit. They were beautiful, caring young men. They were 23 and 24 years of age when they were taken. I often wonder who they might be today, if they had lived. Sometimes I feel that I've not done enough with my life to honor them. But I'm still here, slowly plugging away, and I know that they'd tell me that's enough. One thing I know for sure, they'd have loved you guys!

Have a fantastic day Craig!

I can vividly remember expecting to get sick at any moment, then the incredible guilt when I didn't. My Mom begged me not to visit my friends in the hospital, because we had no idea how you caught it. I know she had it rough too. Then Reagan refused to help at all. I still honestly believe that administration was hoping we'd all just die. As flawed as they might have been, my heroes are still Elton and Liz. They seemed to be the only ones who cared enough to do anything. It was terrible, but it did bring us together in a way that never could have happened otherwise. I never want to forget that. My two best friends were a couple. I had rented a room from them for at one point. They died within a few months of each other. I miss them all the time. RIP Kelly and Dana.

Episode 2 brought back so many memories of that terrible period of time. It was scary as all hell! 11 of my friends died of AIDS. It really did seem to be the end of the world.

Ah, When We Rise...Got it now. I'm a little slow tonight.

Huh?

Sounds good. I have a good BBQ place nearby, but their sides absolutely suck. Don't think I'd find baked beans anywhere near here though.

One needs to have tried one before making that conclusion.

Pretty cool. That's a fair price.

How could I not watch it.

Ah yes, cornbread and burgers. Can't count the times I've had the same. They go together like Fred and Ginger, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Brent and Colin...

He also uses his to break nipples. HE"S A NIPPLE BREAKER!

Look a bit closer, low, between the strings. It's part of my "Oversized" collection of instruments. You should see the TICE flute!

This is a bass... This is a bass guitar... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Pistorius

Maybe Lance will lunge at her?

I thought season 1 was awesome!

What's a few dollars between friends?

Well, you don't need legs to play the guitar well, but I thought he was still in prison for killing his GF?

And what did your family have?

He had no choice. You can't buy a pen filled with blood.

That is amazing! Congrat Andrew!

I think the real winner is Faye Dunaway's plastic surgeon! He must have grossed more than best picture!

Here's to Grahame and Sully!
