While I’ve never used that definition of the word in casual conversation (I might have used it a few times jokingly), he has definitely used the word correctly. Gman

I’m using it on my iPhone. An outgoing email was placed in an outbox. Addendum-after 4 tries the email suddenly was sent. Gman

Just what everyone needs-an insecure therapist. I may have mentioned this before. But I’ve had had some fairly attractive gay male therapists-and if they weren’t attractive in absolute terms, they were still attractive to me. And what I found out was just as bad as me feeling some attraction for them was how I would always think about how easier it was for them to find guys because they were a lot better looking than I was. It’s a lot easier being gay when you know there will be others attracted to you. I had one therapist who said he knew he was gay at a young age-maybe 9 or 10. Now I didn’t grill him on what his understanding of being gay was at 9 or 10. And he was a little older than I was -so it’s not like he grew up in today’s society where a precocious youngster might know more about things than the typical youngster of 4o or 5o years ago. But in addition to saying he knew he was gay. He also said he had always wanted to be gay. He thought even as a youngster that being gay was as better than being straight. Now as someone struggling with being gay-#1. I had trouble believing him at face value. Considering society at large-and growing up in the 1960/70’s-I had trouble seeing him as being so enlightened. But maybe he was a socially evolved prodigy. Even if he was telling me the truth, I don’t know if it was the best thing to tell someone like me -someone struggling with being gay. It seems like just the thing that could (and did) make me me feel even more guilty about not being able to accept myself. Here I was in my late 40’s, and I couldn’t come to terms with myself. And here this wunderkind had loved being gay since childhood. I think sometimes gay therapists-even the ones that struggled to accept themselves-have a bit of the ‘true believer’ attitude. While undoubtedly accepting oneself as gay is healthier, many times these ‘true believers’ seem a lot like missionaries wanting to lead me to the promised land of accepting being gay. That’s not the right tack to take with me. Gman PS I just had my 1st session last week with a new therapist. She’s a lesbian. The last time-and I think only time- I had a lesbian therapist was 17 years ago. We had two visits. She said at the second session that the time I wanted to meet was inconvenient for her, and she wanted me to meet with a social worker (male) she supervised. That guy had stereotypically gay mannerisms-not a good match for me at all. I only saw him once-maybe twice. I hope it goes better this time around.

I have to admit I’m not sure I exactly follow you. If you meant something about adding something to the quoted area and emphasizing part of the original quote-there are ways to make something in the quoted area bold/underlined/italicized which show that it is different from the original quoted material even though it remains in the quote box. And if the picture is the only thing -there’s no reason not to delete the rest of the quote box when you take the picture out. Gman

I’ve never seen that offered. Gman

Why add them in the quote zone? Gman

Some places advertise real butter. I don’t usually order it with butter. Most of the time I’m satisfied with that yellow coating (whatever it is) that comes on it. Gman

I know tastes change as we get older. But recipes and production methods change too. I’m wondering if, possibly, the type of oil theaters use these days might be the cause. Gman

Forgive me @takkt1 if I’m missing something. You copied and pasted a comment by @ontheroad. Did you mean to add a comment? Gman

Sorry to interrupt the thread. But this reminded me of something that happened years ago. I was having a weekend equivalent with an escort at his place. His boyfriend was out of town for the weekend. But I’m sure he knew about it happening. In any case they had white bath towels. I noticed when I was about to shower that there were brown stains on it. They were quite noticeable-and stopped me in my tracks a bit. :confused:I think the escort noticed me looking. And he said don’t worry, my boyfriend dyes his hair. I’m sure that was what they were. But the stains were a bit disconcerting when I first saw them. However aside from the stains, the weekend was very nice. Sorry again for the interruption. Gman

What’s the start page address? Gman

Has Planet Jockboys gone by the wayside at last? The URL listed on here is now down. Gman

That's interesting. Using free searches I've never been able to find me by entering my Google Number. I don't know if one of the paid searches would show me. Gman

You might be truly aromantic. After all I'm sure there are straight guys who may only want sex. There may even be women who only want sex too. On the other hand saying you could see yourself having a non-sexual, but romantic, relationship with a woman seems to indicate that at least fantasy-wise you might crave affection on some level. It seems to me this could be something that therapy might help you explore better. Gman

It's not that diifcult to set up a Google Voice #. I think the main thing is to download the Google Voice App to your phone and set it up. Gman

Sure I can admire those guys. But I'm not going to have a relationship with them because they aren't into me. In general I'm also not, if the guy is honest and not pretending to be gay, hire him. Handsome gay guys aren't into me either. But maybe just as you can't explain to us your attraction for the unobtainable straight man, we can't explain why we don't want to be with them. Gman

My iPhone 6 Plus got fried a week and a half ago -semi long story that I'll spare y'all. A relative has loaned/given me an old one. But it only has 16 gb of memory. My pictures on my old phone take up 17 gb, so I have the loaner set up as new phone. Now I'll admit, I could do with editing a lot of things on my phone. But even if I do that, I doubt I could get down to the memory limit imposed by this current phone. I want to get a new (for me) phone badly. But I'd prefer to get something newer than a 6 plus as it will be out of date sooner than the others. But I don't really have money. I may have to muddle through on my cousin's phone for the foreseeable future. I recognize it's a First World Problem. But it's still a problem. Gman

I still say he looks a lot like Tom Hulce in Amadeus. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ufQCTT1AJL0/TFiCRM1YXdI/AAAAAAAAAv4/OfdzwfWUS-Y/s1600/Tom+Hulce+in+Amadeus.jpg Gman

So hating the gay scene-depending on what you mean-I'm not overly fond of it myself. However I am definitely gay. Do you mean by some chance that Leo is straight? Gman

Thank-you, @FreshFluff !!!! Gman

I just bought a new Chrome Netbook, so I'm restricted to using the Chrome Browser. Right Clicking and trying to copy and paste doesn't seem to work. You have to go up to the options to the right of the address bar, and open it for the copy and paste function. It's annoying. Is there a way/option to enable right clicking? Gman

RIP He was what you'd call real beefcake-6'6" and a physique to match. Imagine what his physique would have been like nowadays with our greater emphasis on being cut and defined!!! You really get a sense of how tall he was when he is next to other people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJRKKbGZNRE Gman

As I'm sure most of y'all on here know, I hate to go off topic. In this case I offer my abject apologies, but I'm feeling compelled. @Ivan C, that is a truly adorable avatar picture!!!! And now back to the topic of BiCollegeGuy.... Gman

I've missed your posts--and I know I'm not alone. I’ve thought about you and your family multiple times since your last post, but most recently it was on the day before Mother's Day. What put me in mind of you was that my 7 year old fraternal twin nephews had their 1st piano recital after about 8 months of lessons. It was a large recital. There were at least 20 students. The twins were adorable. They both had on collared long sleeve shirts and baggy off-white pants. Twin A had a tie on that extended way down past the waist of his pants. Twin B had a bow tie on. Twin A played his piece. Then Twin B came up, and they played a duet, "Zum Gali," an Israeli folk song. Then Twin A sat down, and Twin B played his piece. Gman

Just quit a counselor that employed CBT (and I don’t mean cock-ball-torture). It just wasn’t for me. And come to think of it, neither is cock-ball-torture. Gman
