Tristan Baldwin will come up to Boston, when he's in New England. Mike Gaite shows up now and then and ... oh, yeah! Oh, my! Do it to me, Baby! Alec Andrews will be back this Summer, but for a limited engagement, on his Farewell Tour. There's always the redoubtable Jon Ramsey from M4RN.

I got fingerprinted years ago for my Secret clearance. Anybody know how long the U.S. Government keeps fingerprints on file?

A helpful neighbor came over and we played. A classmate from ninth grade then told me about it. I'm not sure when I mastered the tenacity to go all the way through an orgasm.

Cooking in the nude is never recommended, in my book (although I did give a blowjob on my parent's kitchen floor once). Grease Splatters! Boiling Water spills! Hairs catch fire! Or maybe I'm just that kind of cook ... here, let me lick that up [for | off] you.

Put yourself in his place. He may well be doing this because he can't do anything else (and he doesn't appear to be real good at this, either). If you tell Management, they may or may not do something, but it may well accelerate a natural course of events. It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature!

They don't grow them like that up here in New England. Maybe it's the soil.

Keep your mouth open but don't talk

New District sounds a little like Nudist Trick. Ooops.

Sounds like something from Hunger Games.

In further memory of Douglas Adams: The Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster "After two of those babies, the dullest, most by-the-book Vogon will be up on the bar in stilettos, yodeling mountain shanties and swearing he's the king of the Gray Binding Fiefdoms of Saxaquine" —The drink's effects[src] The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is an alcoholic beverage invented by ex-President of the Universe Zaphod Beeblebrox, considered by the Guide to be the "Best Drink in Existence"[1]. Its effects are similar to "having your brains smashed in by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick". Beeblebrox advised that you should "never drink more than two Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters unless you are a thirty ton mega elephant with bronchial pneumonia".[1] However, Ford Prefect ignored this advice and consumed three Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters while at Milliways.[2] Mixing Instructions Take the juice from one bottle of Ol' Janx Spirit. Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V — Oh, that Santraginean seawater! Oh, those Santraginean fish! Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost). Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it, in memory of all those happy hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia. Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones, subtle, sweet and mystic. Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian Suns deep into the heart of the drink. Sprinkle Zamphuor. Add an olive. Drink... but... very carefully...

"It is a curious fact, and one to which no-one knows quite how much importance to attach, that something like 85 percent of all known worlds in the Galaxy, be they primitive or highly advanced, have invented a drink called jynnan tonyx, or gee-N'N-T'N-ix, or jinond-o-nicks, or any one of a thousand variations on this phonetic theme. "The drinks themselves are not the same, and vary between the Sivolvian ‘chinanto/mnigs’ which is ordinary water served just above room temperature, and the Gagrakackan 'tzjin-anthony-ks’ which kills cows at a hundred paces; and in fact the only one common factor between all of them, beyond the fact that their names sound the same, is that they were all invented and named before the worlds concerned made contact with any other worlds. "What can be made of this fact? It exists in total isolation. As far as any theory of structural linguistics is concerned it is right off the graph, and yet it persists. Old structural linguists get very angry when young structural linguists go on about it. Young structural linguists get deeply excited about it and stay up late at night convinced that they are very close to something of profound importance, and end up becoming old structural linguists before their time, getting very angry with the young ones. Structural linguistics is a bitterly divided and unhappy discipline, and a large number of its practitioners spend too many nights drowning their problems in Ouisghian Zodahs." -The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams (R.I.P.)

SO: A Roman Senator goes into a bar and asks for a Martinus. "Don't you mean Martini?" asks the bartender. "If I wanted a double, I would have asked for it!" the Senator says.

Author? Titles? ISBN? URL? Enquiring minds want to know.

"Thinks"? Are those the nerdy guys? And what do you mean about lack of mobility?

The man is incredible. I understand he's married with child, but I cannot remember my source info. thereof. Pity we can't post erect shots here; thereof also he is impressive.

I've had a Lexus Rx400h [hybrid] for about ten years. It's loads of fun and has lots of power. Only 23.8 MPG but I could drive more sanely.

I have a lexus 400h hybrid. It's built for performance. About 24 mpg and goes like a bat out of hell. Central mass gas: Cheapest, $1.57 for regulah.

When I was in medical school, I had a rotation in the Berkshires in Massachusetts. They fed us three squares a day. I had a two egg omlet with cheese, peppers, and ham for two weeks, every morning. At the end of it, my cholesterol was 135. I like my eggs over easy, with whole wheat or other multi-grain buttered toast, and bacon on the side.

Dunno ... I'd probably take Keith Hardy over Leo if I were in Philidelphia.

The reviews of this book are quite illuminating. Further commentary, from a review of the above book: There are four parts of the apology process: acknowledgment, remorse, explanation, and reparation. These were exemplified in Lincoln's 2nd inaugural address, concerning slavery, placing the blame on the whole country and not just the South. This book is not just about personal relationships, but he probes into the war offenses by Germany and the United States' treatment of Japanese-Americans, both during WWII. A grudge is a form of dormant anger sometimes over a trivial matter, such as making an insulting comment about someone's appearance; it's a combination of resentment and memory long after the "offense" has occurred. When siblings squabble over a parent's estate and feels that one received or took more than he deserved or when they erroneously felt that responsibility for the care of a dying parent was not evenly shared, it's a big deal. It is common for this grudge to be held for the remainder of their lives. It's not caused by guilt but by a feeling of being wrongly treated by the "victor." To apologize for making a mistake or had used the wrong word which offended the other person causing emotional pain, apology is needed and works only if you value the person; otherwise, it is a useless gesture. An apology has to be accepted for any forgiveness or healing of the wound however caused, deliberately or callously without meaning harm. It caused humiliation and if not sincerely and honestly expressed, can prompt the "victim" to seek vengeance. It is easy to apologize but not so easy to be gracious enough to put things back together again. When I was going through a very painful experience of divorce twenty-five years ago, a friend's young daughter could not understand why I was unable to do what her family kept praying for, and I sat down on the back steps to explain to her that sometimes a person can hurt you so much (not physically) and you cannot live with them anymore. She accepted my explanation but not the fact that their prayers were not answered. A simple apology is not sufficient if emotional and verbal abuse had been consistent over a number of years. Sometimes it takes a minor incident to be the 'straw which broke the camel's back.' Prolonged stress and criticism cause more pain than physical abuse. To ever heal, you have to remove the stressor and the only way to do that is through the courts. It is easy to get married, but not so easy to divorce and ever trust another man. After I suffered from chronic nerve pain for ten years, my abuser finally apologized for making fun of my pain and not believing it could possibly be so bad (after he had a back operation and had to give in and take pain pills), but it was too late to be accepted. There's only so much humiliation a person can accept. When a person refuses to apologize, he doesn't feel he's done anything wrong and instead has a real reason not to give in. They say you can forgive but never forget when a person has intentionally hurt you to the core. Sometimes there is no way to make reparation. Dr. Lazare wrote an article on apology in 'Psychology Today,' very well received; thus, he's become a leading authority on the psychology of shame and humiliation. He's a psychiatrist who taught at Harvard Medical School and now holds a position at the University of Mass. Medical School in Worcester.

Slightly random, but related: Part of forgiveness is apology [receiving, not giving, in the case of the forgiver]. A previous Dean and Chancellor of my Medical School wrote a book, On Apology. http://www.amazon.com/Apology-Aaron-Lazare/dp/0195189116/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454037800&sr=8-1&keywords=on++apology Two of his points on apology include (a) expression of guilt, and (b) promise to improve and sin no more. Do not be brought into the argument with just "I'm sorry." That's not sufficient reason to forgive. Acknowledgment that an offense was committed is necessary. Here endeth the randomness.

Actually, it would be nice to have this post in ASK AN ESCORT. It's weird, asking to be nurtured at 64 years age, but I'm not dealing with some of the things life throws one.

Is that bath half-full or half-empty?

Did you use Library of Congress or [shudder] the Dewy Decimal system? Do you remember about where the call numbers were? I'm really only familiar with "Q" and "M". I'd love to see what MIT has for gay literature
