Some people really do have too much time on their hands

The crown tattoo made me laugh

Did you get an answer?

That is a very cute puppy. But I bet he didn't make it to 21 years old now

The noted lesbian author Jane Rule wrote about grief, that is particular to perhaps the older gay and lesbian community, after the death of her long term partner. I find it inspirational as well. GregM I hope you find it useful. http://www.gordonbowness.com/jane-rule-of-grief.html (Jane Rule was awarded the Order of Canada, by the Government of Canada, our highest civilian honour.)

I am sorry for your loss. I found these words inspirational, although I expect the circumstances are different.

2008 economic collapse, in terms of Wall Street regulation, not much has changed ... I'm digressing from the Bitcoin discussion. On morning radio Bitcoin seems its gone up about 1000% since this time last year. There is a Netflix (which with Trump killing of net neutrality expect those monthly charges to go way up) documentary on Bitcoin that is worth watching.

Same as Wall Street ... oops ... outside voice

I wonder if any of these guys faint when they get hard ... all that blood rushing from their head

That's so scary and creepy when other countries use the US dollar as their currency

I'm thinking that Uruguayan edibles are going to be big meaty weed burgers.

You register at the Post Office and sold through Pharmacies. So civilized.

You can take the boy out of Argentina but you can't take the Argentina out of the boy ...

extended vacations over the next 7 years to your short list of places would be probably be a good idea. do you really think Buenas Aires is expensive? is that compared to the USA or compared to other places in Latin America?

Yes, we have one as well. And all of the provinces have a Lieutenant Governor representing the Queen (again a ceremonial role).

Governor General - the Queen's official representative in Canada and Australia etc. (its a Commonwealth thing). We have elected Prime Ministers but the official Head of State is still the Queen. It's a ceremonial role.

Nice message in that song. I have an inter-commonwealth question for you. I know God Save the Queen was your national anthem until 1984. In Canada there used to be this odd custom of starting public events with O Canada (the anthem) and closing the event with God Save the Queen. (This doesn't happen anymore.) Any role for GStheQ anymore in Australia? (And as a digression to this digression, I always thought our national anthem should be amended from "our home and native land" to "our home ON native land."

Sounds like it's official now as of yesterday. Congratulations. Expect a tourist boon

Hi, you misunderstood. I was clarifying it's not a wall calendar for 2018 (random example here: http://www.thekiltstore.com/1637861/products/2018_men_in_kilts_calendar.aspx) which is what several guys have asked about. Recycling wasn't about the dancers, it was about the format, the monthly events handout isn't going to be a keeper for the year.

Steve from Stock Bar said they had a monthly calendar only, suitable for recycling, not hanging on the wall for the year

Is that why it's tons of fun?

He said he had other 'extended sessions' with him, but he never said if any of them were public. To me, in re-reading posts, it's unclear if this was the first public session. And I can see how that could have a different dynamic - introducing him to friends for example rather than one on one in private.

Was this your first public experience with him?

His emotion reminds me of the speech by the Dallas City Councillor during beginning of 'it gets better.' (They both mentioned a moment of decision of ending it or moving forward.) I'm sorry I don't remember his name though.

Wrong Ms Murray. Anne Murray is a Canadian singer out of Nova Scotia from the 60s - 80s. (Very popular in Jamaica apparently, which I always thought was odd.) KD Lang's album Ingenue was rumoured to have been written for Anne (denied by Lang ... it was for another married woman) including this song about her crush on Anne since KD was 9 years old:
