Oh I don't think you understand the meaning of that phrase. I can guaranty you that Al does not see you through Rose colored glasses!

Almost every time I hear "I'm not racist but..." I brace for the worst. What really gets me is that these people that spew this racist verbal garbage, usually think that if there is no one around of the race or group they're disparaging, then they're not offending anyone. I'm offended, and I'm guessing that most intelligent people are also equally offended.

This!

I'm guessing that this little douche is a Marine like I'm a womanizer! This kid hasn't been off of Mommy's tit for long. I'm guessing he's 12 or 13. His online bravado is a dead giveaway. It would be fun to watch him meet Jeff in person though, as long as someone else was in charge of cleaning up the piss that ran down his leg.

The problem of a shaft that fits loosely into a hole, is one I've had exactly zero experience with. Teflon tape is going to be very difficult to keep in place, while fitting the knob onto the shaft. I would try some masking tape, as I think it'll hold onto the shaft better.

Have a great day Ben!

There was a restaurant in Anchorage in the 80's called Harry's. They had a burger called the BBGB (belly burnin' gut buster). It was awesome! It had a half pound chopped sirloin burger patty, a good quality hot dog, split open and grilled, and a fried egg on top. Mmmmm!

Aesthetics alone, I'd say it' a hit. Elegant and modern, yet tastefully restrained.

I prefer Erection Facilitation Technician. Congrat Dusty!

I am fat! But I'm also phat, so it's cool.

Sourdough changes greatly in it's first 25 years. In Alaska sourdough starter over 50 yrs. old is coveted, and some are over 100 yrs. The differences after 50 yrs. are more subtle, but a new starter compared to a 25 or 50 y.o. starter is no comparison. You will be much happier with as old a starter as you can get your hands on. Fortunately for you, my Mom started her starter the same year I was born, so 53 yrs. now, and I will be happy to donate to your new hobby. Alaskan sourdough is used more for cinnamon rolls, pancakes and such, but also makes fantastic bread. My favorite bread is AK. salt crusted, Rosemary, sourdough. My Aunt uses her starter (from my Mom) to make really good muffins. But my Mom has a sourdough pancake recipe that will make you think your tastebuds turned into clitoris'. Our family has deemed it illegal to use anything but the best grade of true Maple syrup with them, so keep this in mind if you should want the recipe. P.S. While the starters listed in those links are old, it's not the same as a starter that's been in wet form from the beginning. Trust me on this!

Not only do they look good, but because of the 'KEF' style 6 x 9 subwoofer on the back, they supply enough bass for a very satisfying system, sans separate subs. And they're beautifully balanced. Don't be fooled though, these speakers need serious power to open up.

I think I still prefer the look of the original... And they can be had for under $5K.

I will always respond to homophobic diatribe, whether online or in person. But I always try to be calm and non-threatening. Otherwise it's just more fuel for the fire. Sometimes it's hard to stay level headed, but it's essential to get people to stop and listen. Even I have been turned off by militant gays spewing reverse hate.

True to your word. And that looks awesome!

Have a great day buddy! Hope you do something fun!

Well, since my replies to her post, two other Cousins and numerous people I don't know have posted pretty hard criticism about her attitude toward gays. Both of these Cousins I know well, and have spent a lot of time with since living in Texas. They both defended me, not only as a gay person, but as a person in general, and both were pretty harsh toward her prejudice. This makes me feel really good, especially since one of the Cousins is male and very religious himself. I'm proud of his stance!

I don't even know her that well, but it bothers me more than if it was a stranger, not sure why? Dan, I know you're right. Things are changing at a faster pace than I ever imagined. It's my job to see it through, and make it better for the next generation, and I'm happy to do that.

I recently gave Facebook another try. I wanted to be able to keep in touch with friends and relatives I don't see often. I'm thinking I was right to hate Facebook after all. A Cousin of mine posted some trash about gays being an abomination to God. Gotta love having Redneck relatives! I felt it my duty to post another viewpoint, but I was tactful, reasonable and polite. She posted "Why are you shitting on my post?" I posted "Why are you shitting on my life?" Her..."WTF are you talking about?" Me..."I'm gay! It's no secret!!!" "You post the voice of hatred, and I'll post the voice of reason. Say hello to your Mom for me." Fucking uneducated bigots!

Happy Birthday Raffy! How about some new running shoes?

This, most definitely!!!

Holy crap! Sonus Faber has a new 30 year edition of my favorite speaker...The Extrema. Not sure I like the looks as much as the original, but the Extrema has always been my favorite speaker.

Thanks. He's a nurse.

Went on a date tonight. First real date in 13 years (booty calls withstanding). Went well I think.
