Lucky

Last night I had a seat right by first base and saw Logan O'Hoppe, the designated hitter on base. I've always admired his face on TV, but last night I saw what for me is the most beautiful bubble butt. No, I didn't run out on the field to rim him, especially since I had my Yankee gear on, but I admired for as long as he was there. It seems to really add back padding, which is good since his usual position is catcher! An early photo of Logan: All I can say is that you gotta see his butt in person. Pictures just don't do it!

So far neither the police nor EcoAtm has responded to my complaint. Once I got my phone information restored yesterday, I looked to see if anyone had called while I did not have access. No one did...BUT there was a message left Friday night from a number I do not recognize. A woman said that she hoped I would find my phone, and she used my name. The call is not in the recent call list. I googles the woman and she apparently lives in Desert hot Springs. Funny.

He made light of a guy committing suicide and you think that's funny? It did turnout that many posters had things to say about Queens, but rather than starting a new thread without the mocking of the dead man, @samhexum keeps bumping this thread. Go figure.

I'd be leary in Singapore of even urinating in a public bathroom.

I have so enjoyed my 8 or 9 trips to Brazil that I would love to go back. I follow the rules, mostly, about not carrying much on me, and I have never been robbed. I grant that that could be a matter of luck, so I remain careful. (I do ride the subway at night.) One thing I notice about all of these stories about being accosted on the street in Rio is that no one gets hurt. You lose money, but no injury. Again, I concede that is possible but it seems less likely that you will get hurt than robbed. So consider it a tax that you pay to the local indigents for being a tourist in their town. You are not carrying that much money anyway, so it's no big loss.

ON Friday I stupidly set my phone in a shopping cart while I unloaded the cart. It is the same color as the car, and I failed to pick it up. I went back to the store several times and no one had turned it in. So yesterday I ordered an older, cheaper model from Amazon and it was delivered at 7 this morning. I wasted no time getting to T-Mobile to have the phone set up and my info transferred from the Samsung Cloud. The woman at T-M showed me how to use the Find My Phone app, and it turned out it was at another grocery store near my house. I went into the store, started the app, and it directed me to a kiosk where people can sell their phones. The implication is that the phone is still in the kiosk. I called the number on the kiosk, and while they were clear that my call was very important to them, they never responded despite 15 minutes on hold. So I filed a police report. Having taken possession of my phone is theft and hopefully the police will contact the EcoAtm folks and they will cooperate. They have special people assigned to work with law enforcement all over the country, so this is not an unusual thing. What got me was that when I used their "price your phone" feature, my older phone was worth less than I had paid for the older model I had just bought. They get you everywhere. Anyone wanna give odds on my getting the phone back?

I am glad to see that my thread took off despite my earlier apprehensions. Thanks to all who have contributed and will contribute. I don't know if this has been made clear, but I believe that you have to come out to yourself before you can come out to others. And by that I mean stop the denial, look yourself in the mirror, and say something like I AM GAY AND THAT's JUST THE WAY I WANT IT.

Gosh, @purplekow starts the gym right around the time I stopped. He inspires me to start again!

Back around 1980 my friends and I were pleased to learn of an openly gay doctor. No matter what you went to see him for, he had to do a prostate exam and squeeze out that drop of fluid. He looked so happy. We finally found another gay doc, but he ended up with drug problems.

Say, Tyler, I have some sperm I won't be using unless you can take it. Can you drop by to see the load?

No one can judge another's decision on the closet. We all have different considerations. I do lean to the all-out philosophy as it worked so well for me, but that's my situation and I didn't have family to worry about.

Sure is a shortage of ideas about Vegas. Who do I hire after I win the big jackpot?

This thread came about as I was complaining about the amount of trivial threads the site gets and I was told that if I wanted more substantive discussions I should start one. So I did. Either I chose a topic that is too well-worn or substantive discussions here are falling out of favor...or both. I remember lots of substance over the last 25 years, but newer members here don't seem inclined that way and maybe the older members have also tired of it. As the esteemed @BenjaminNicholas says, the site is what it is. I thank @DrownedBoy for contributing to the thread. Now, about Marlo Thomas, did she really...!

He looks good to me as well.

No comedian has had me laughing as hard as Joan did when I saw her live show.

Well, then, credit must be given to the Vegas escort who lists his age as 75, and has the pictures to prove it! https://rentmen.eu/DRTOMBPHD/#platinum

Coming out of the closet was very hard for me. I kept delaying it until I had finally finished law school and couldn't get away from it anymore. Plus, I fell in love, with an unavailable straight guy. But I did realize that to have the life I wanted, I would have to come out. Life was so much better after that. In the course of meeting people from this site, and I have easily met over 100 guys, I learned that many are still in the closet despite posting their desires here. Some are out to friends, but not family. The latter seems a hard obstacle to some, but luckily for me my very Catholic family accepted my orientation. So I invite others to share their own situations. Are you out, and how was that? Are you in, and what challenges does that pose? Et cetera.

Bieber's reps today denied that he had sex with Diddy. https://nypost.com/2025/05/15/us-news/justin-bieber-breaks-silence-on-sean-diddy-combs-as-rap-mogul-faces-sex-trafficking-trial/

I agree with that. I was wrong to suggest that IQ had anything to do with the topics. Trivia is no doubt popular, but it doesn't much interest me. I have been coming to this site for some 25 years and I think it has changed. Substantive discussions seem fewer, but I still come looking for them.

God, another thread I couldn't care less about. What is happening to this site?

So this first time poster wanted us to see his cock. I doubt that he really wants any answers to his question. Curious why the topic is pinned.

He's anti-gay. It is unclear whether he will be as open to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholics as Francis was. Although he has not said much recently, in a 2012 address to bishops, he lamented that Western news media and popular culture fostered “sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel.” He cited the “homosexual lifestyle” and “alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children.” He, like many other cardinals, has drawn criticism over his dealings with priests accused of sexual abuse. nytimes.com

Thrilled to see that Jim Parsons did not get a Tony nomination for his role here. Snub a dub!

Anyone conisidering taking over the Palm Springs Weekend needs to know two things; 1) It is a lot of work. 2) @Oliver has created some huge footsteps to fill. We are grateful for the way he expanded the Weekend and made it such a success.

Grab it while you can! Museum lovers will be thrilled to see the Times taking it seriously when it comes to museums!
