I know what he said on his website. But that didn’t necessarily have to be the truth. Gman

It could’ve been an SNL ad. Gman

I always thought Alec might be more on the bisexual or g4pay. So if this is true, it’s nice to hear about. Gman

Gman

He’s also a bit too pouty. On the other hand, once we are a couple, I’m sure after a few months I won’t notice it at all Gman

I always thought the Atlantic was colder than the Pacific. Have I been wrong all these years? Gman

Those pictures look reasonably familiar to me. I haven’t met the young man. But I wonder if maybe he escorted under another name. Gman

I think I used to wonder what people thought when I took my college-age niece out for a meal. She is quite pretty. Gman

You could always be extended family-like his mother’s brother-in-law. I’m not sure I understand. If discretion is important, why are you going to places where eyebrows might be raised or where someone might wonder about an intimate dinner? Gman

I feel sad for him. I know from being a bit undersized myself that it can often be difficult topping. And even when you can top, I have a tendency to fall out when I don’t want to. Gman

May I assume M Day was when Australia became metric? Gman

I first noted him on HBO’s 1st & 10 in 1984. I thought he was extremely hunky. Gman

I really only have people around to eat it once a year at Thanksgiving. If I were to experiment at other times, I’d most likely be eating them all myself. And I definitely don’t need that. I’m not a baker. So take my words with a teaspoon of salt . Is there a raspberry extract that would dissolve the way mint does? What about looking up some recipes and figuring out how to add a raspberry layer? How much will you pay me not to tell your rabbi? As for leftovers, you should make a casserole- combine the leftover turkey, dressing, green beans, and (whisper) bacon with added mushroom soup and bake. He’s looking a bit chunky. You must have really stuffed him!! Gman

So I ended up adding about 1/8th of a tsp of Mint Extract. I wanted peppermint, but Walmart didn’t have it. I had my mother taste test it. She said she thought it was enough, but then told me she wasn’t that fond of mint. I decided to keep it with the 1/8th tsp of mint. When I taste tested it myself before it was frozen, I could taste the mint. But it was subtle. After the Thanksgiving meal there were two apple pies, one pumpkin, a pecan, and mini pecan pie cookies along with my Hershey Bar Pie. I ate a slice of my pie. Then the rest of the pie was eaten save a final slice which I finished off. I told one of my nieces that there was a secret ingredient. She took a piece and came back and said ‘mint’. She told she liked it, and that chocolate mint was her favorite flavor. One or two others told me they liked it too. My sister-in-law, who was the person who made the pie the 1st time I remember eating it, said something about how I had made the pie my own. The way it worked out, there was just a faint mint aftertaste. My niece, myself, and one there all agrees it was ‘refreshing’. My niece said she thought it was the right amount. I still would have liked the flavor to be a bit stronger. But maybe she was right. I still might try making two pies next year. One with the 1/8th tsp that I know worked well. And one with maybe a 1/4th or a tsp. I had thought about it using this type of candy before. I was afraid the candy pieces would make the pie too grainy. ALWAYS!!! (I’ve been on a proton pump inhibitor since around 1994). Gman

On a slightly different note-and I realize it’s not the main thrust of this thread-and I’m not saying this is a frequent occurrence-but a two-time f-ckbuddy of mine has told me a story. This f-ckbuddy is bisexual-has been married and now divorced. He told me that in college he seduced an adviser of his who was ostensibly straight-ie married. And the adviser took the bottom role according to my bud. I guess I bring this up because, if true, I’m just flabbergasted. While I suspected I was gay in college, the idea of any sex terrified me and gay sex the most. And the idea of seducing an older guy-how would you even know he was interested? And then for the ‘supposedly’ newbie to take the bottom role.... I guess having large parts of my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood be very solitary without friends shielded me from experiences like this. I never masturbated anyone else. No one ever masturbated or sucked me off. I was never even part of a circle jerk. Gman

And alas while you might be someone’s physical ideal ( as you are mine), I have no use sexually for an alpha top. In spite of the stereotypes, I’m from Dallas (and visit since I don’t live there now), and am a total top. Gman *And to tell the truth since I’m not hiring anymore you could only be a fantasy even if you were versatile.

A Ben Affleck type. Gman

I just found my recipe. It’s slightly different, but not much. In mine you take 6 Hershey Bars and melt over low heat with a 1/2 cup of milk. After that you add a tub of Cool Whip, and then pour it into an Oreo or Graham Cracker Crust and freeze -not refrigerate-for several hours or overnight. Gman.

That’s a great idea, @deej. I had looked last year for a ‘mint chocolate’ flavored coffee. I was surprised that I couldn’t find any. I was wondering whether I might need to try using York Peppermint Patties. But peppermint extract sounds like just what I need. Gman

So I can feel better while the ‘women-folk’ are slaving away, I usually make a Hershey Bar Pie. It’s delicious and incredibly simple. I don’t have my actual recipe in front of me-it’s in my Mom’s recipe card file. But this is pretty close. It’s so good I want to bequeath it to all my Forum Family!!! My recipe only uses the one tub of Cool Whip. When my sister-in-law makes it-she uses actual whipping cream which she whips. *** No-Bake Hershey's Chocolate Bar Pie Ingredients 1 (9-inch) chocolate crumb pie crust (such as Oreo pie crust) or plain graham pie crust 1 1/2 (8 oz.) containers Cool Whip whipped topping (12 oz. total)* 5 full-size (1.45 oz.) Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars Directions Break chocolate bars into pieces and place in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. (Or, place chocolate bar pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM power for one minute or until chocolate is melted and smooth when stirred.) Remove from heat and cool for two minutes. Fold melted chocolate into the Cool Whip until well combined. Spoon into crust. Cover and refrigerate over night, or until set. * The original recipe calls for 1 (8 oz.) container of Cool Whip, however I use 1 1/2 containers as I prefer a 'fuller' pie. If you'd like to use just 1 container of Cool Whip, use just 4 Hershey's bars. Your pie will taste great, it just won't be as full in the pie crust. *** I’ve experimented with this a bit by adding some flavored instant coffee to it. If you do this, you need to dissolve the coffee in a small bit of hot water beforehand, so it’s dissolved and not gritty. My next experiment I want to try is adding mint. That may mean I need to use another candy bar other than Hershey’s. Gman

I wish all my Forum Family A Happy Thanksgiving!! http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/q496ereu4mzkvz2/File%20Nov%2022%2C%209%2007%2058%20AM.jpeg?dl=0 Gman

I’m on a plane now about to take off to go home for the funeral. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to go. But things worked out. I thought I was getting a bit used to the idea. But thinking of my cousin now is still bringing tears. I envy people with Faith. I want to thank all of you for all the kind thoughts and postings. They’ve been very comforting to me. Gman

Maybe he saw her at an oldies concert then. Gman

I think a friend of mine saw a touring company of this around 2001. He said that Petula’s voice had gone. Gman

The obituary is wrong about his role on Soap. Maybe the show changed prior to airing. But while he was a butler, the Tates weren’t in politics. Gman
