Regarding a person who is both good looking and an asshole I'm reminded of this story from Ovid about Cyncus and Phyllius http://www.theoi.com/Heros/KyknosThyrios.html I think it interesting that Phyllius had 3 Labors, Theseus had 6 and Hercules performed 12. Actually Hercules was supposed to only accomplish 10 Labors but two were discounted because he had help - killing the Hydra and cleaning the Augean Stables.

I've thought "losing one's virginity" is an odd phrase. It can be given or taken but lost? There's no lost & found department where one can go to retrieve one's virginity. "Has anyone recently turned in a virginity? I went to a party last night and had too much to drink and this morning I found that I had lost my virginity. Also I couldn't find my wallet either." And what sex act is considered losing one's virginity? Same with "sleep" meaning sex. Seems an odd choice of a word. I've noticed how the meaning of "making love" has changed over the years. Today when one hears that most think of sex. But not so in years gone by. I've heard it used on "The Burns & Allen Show" from the 1950s. There it simply means sweet talk, romancing.

If you want to see a young half-naked Michael Landon with short hair this is for you. He is shirtless through most of the episode. He plays a Native American. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPyQTiWuqWE

Thank-you for the link. To quote "Meatloaf" - Two out of three ain't bad! ;-)))

Wasn't there an expression about the British navy being being built on sodomy and rum?

I can understand some wanting to have a biological connection to their children but there is such a need for adoption and foster care for children in need. Especially gay children.

It used to be odd spellings but now it's odd names. Parents want to be clever and make their children unique but it's just foolishness and embarrassing.

I want to watch DishTV online and I want every channel that I can get on the tv set but the box I got today can not do that. I need a different box called "Hopper Sling". It will be $5 more per month making $177. 39 I was offered a $20 discount if I made a two year contract but I declined. I can't plan that far ahead. A technician is going to come tomorrow with the new box. It will not be the one I saw today. He told me that today was his "Friday" and he had chores to do, yard work etc..

I wondered about Colombia. Seems like a good place! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Colombia

He volunteered. He was friendly and quite chatty. He had recently moved here and had questions about the town and its history.

I do indeed! ;-)) I have Hulu without commercials plus Showtime and pay $20.98 per month. I pay $9.99 for CBS All Access. No commercials unless I watch it live. I pay $13.99 for Netflix. I briefly tried Amazon Prime but didn't care for it.

Thanks! It took him four hours. Nice fellow, 20s. Blond hair and short cropped beard. Both arms heavily tattooed. He had been in the USAF. Got out three months ago. Straight. Lives with his girlfriend of three years. They have four dogs; he showed me pictures of two of the dogs. If I want the tv set hung on the wall that would be $200. And they have a special sound system also for $200. I declined on both. But what I want to do is to be able to watch online and for that I have to call DishTV and they will talk me through it.

I've never been to Barcelona but it would not be high on my list of places to visit. I think the Sagrada Familia church is ugly! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Fam%C3%ADlia

Can never forget former Vice President Dan Quayle and the potato(e) ;-)))

I don't eat potatoes, rice and bread but not by choice but because of diabetes.

My phone bill over the years kept going up and up yet I make very few telephone calls. My local internet provider several years ago began offering phone service. I now pay $3.95 per month for 100 minutes. There is a charge for going over but I doubt that I've ever gone over. I only have a landline. The phone is in the kitchen and it rings four times before the answering machine picks up. There is no way that I can get to the phone from the living room to the kitchen in time to answer. But somehow the system is able to monitor spam calls. Sometimes the phone will only ring once or twice and stop. Sometimes it will ring four times and the answering machine picks up but then clicks off. However political calls are not considered spam. I kept getting calls from my Congressman. It took several calls and emails to his office but they finally stopped.

I have for over 20 years. The first box I had became so old they were going to cut my service off unless I got a new one so I did several years ago. But now for several months my satellite has been out align and I can only get a few channels. So I called yesterday and the technician is coming out today. I can go days, weeks without turning the tv set on because I watch online with Hulu, CBS All Access and Netflix. But because my DishTV box is so old I can not access Dish Anywhere. So today I'm getting a new box so I can watch DishTV online. I'll also have the Hopper. Some of the other channels I watch online like the USA Network demand that I have a service provider. Thus although because the satellite is out align I can't watch it on tv I can online. But DishTV is expensive! My monthly bill will now be $172.66 per month!

Mustn't forget there are Klingons and Romulans.
