Happy birthday @keefer!

Previously I have mentioned two Boyne novels that I liked. The first was The Heart's Invisible Furies Posted more than 2 years ago- This gay novel came out in 2017. I don't know how I missed it, but it is one of the best novels I have read. Thankfully, it is rather long. I say that because I was so caught up in the novel that I wanted it to go on. Author John Boyne tells a tale of two boys over almost 70 years. It's a love story in so many respects, full of interesting characters and events. The Catholic Church in Ireland was so powerful and anti-gay, it made it almost impossible to come out of the closet. I won't say more as I hope that you will read the novel yourself. Avid readers will love it. Your heart will be touched. https://www.amazon.com/Hearts-Invisible-Furies-Novel/dp/152476079X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= The second was A History of Loneliness. Two years ago I wrote here: Another John Boyne novel I like is A History of Loneliness. It's about a priest in Ireland who didn't notice that boys were being molested until late in the game. It's a good study of the Irish Catholic Church, the power they had, and the collapse of that power when people learned the truth , not just about the molestations, but the decades-long coverup And the latest is All The Broken Places, a sequel of sorts to The Boy in the Striped Pajama's, which is Boyne's most well-known novel and was made into a movie. Broken Places is a powerful novel about the Holocaust aftermath and its effect on the daughter of the Commandant who ran Auschwitz. I highly recommend it. It's not especially gay, although there are lesbian characters and a super hot 19-year old Nazi!

But the sex made it worthwhile, no?

Actually, they make you send three pictures. Although my model is recalled, the BN number is invalid, or so they say. I think Cosori is making consumers go through unnecessary hurdles and I can't wait for the class action lawyers to get involved.

It's high season in Phoenix so there may be more things to do. But I inquired recently about Dick's and did not get a single response.

FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS A NIGHT? At that place? What's a nice place charging?

Physical:100 is great especially if you like Asian muscle. Episodes 2 and 3 are the best.

He looks good!

Hahaha if you believe this! I've been drinking Coke for a lifetime and I need supplements! https://nypost.com/2023/02/22/drinking-coke-and-pepsi-leads-to-larger-testicles-more-testosterone-study/

A friend walked out on him as the session was so bad.

Still wondering what's up at Dick's. I am planning a Phoenix trip...

I don't dress like Rip or Liberace, don't speak like Paul or CNR, and I don't have any interest in Barb, Liz or Judy. But I am proudly gay. Stereotypes are what you are presenting.

If what you are saying is true, one would expect to see a surge in HIV cases among gay men. That ain't happening.

Sherman's food sucks.

@RyanDean No, I have not.

@pubic_assistance Thank you for the clickable links.

I won't miss it. I think it is a wise decision.

Yesterday I read the very gay novel Just By Looking At Him, by Ryan O'Connell. It's about a TV script writer, Elliott, who has cerebral palsy.. He is in a 5 year relationship with Gus, who seems to be an ideal partner. But Elliott begins seeing a sex worker, River, who is hot and handsome and adept at his work. (Did I mention that there is a lot of sex in this novel?) Eventually the Gus and Elliott relationship takes a turn and the novel changes direction. For me, it was downhill from there. The sex worker stuff in the novel made me wonder if the author is a poster here.

I don't need to do anything. You are the one pretending to have facts to support your statements. And you have a job??? How do you post here from morning to night and still work and have a family?

Wikipedia says in paragraph one that Khalil was born August 23, 1977. In paragraph two, they say that Khalil was born on August 23, 1974. And here I have been thinking of how reliable the site is.

Could you back up your statements with links? Name ALL the reading you have done, whether medical journals or Mickey Mouse comics. What is the link to your statistics showing the difference between the pharmaceutical companies and independent studies? You love to make statements that hint at having a background, but you don't back them up with evidence.

A 12-pack of Coke is $9.49 at Walgreens, but at the Kroger store you get 4 of them for $15. Even that is higher than in the past. I remember paying a nickel for a bottle of Coke. It's empty because I drank it!

"The gay boys..." Really?
