Mine came back in a different spot in the upper right of the page, but the different icon confused me at first.

I didn't try to install it. I opened my Firefox browser, and the old one was gone, and the new one was in its place. At first I panicked, because I couldn't find my old bookmarks, but I finally did, except that opening them takes one more step than it used to. However, everything does seem to be much faster.

Giovanni's Room in Philadelphia is still there, but it is no longer a real gay bookstore. Now is is a used bookstore with a gay section.

I never try anything when it is first introduced. I wait for the posters here to be the ones to test the waters and tell us how cold or hot they are.

I felt sure it was a park, but I forgot about Buen Retiro, which I have been to.

Dubrovnik?

One of the problems with recycling is that the market for some recycled materials has declined, making the process less economically attractive.

PS Waste Disposal does an electronics recycling pick-up twice per year, but you can drop off your electronic waste at their office at any time, and I always do.

Duh? Are you serious? (Well, of course I don't really know, but they certainly were a couple.)

It is much easier to recycle when the city provides each house with a portable container and picks up once per week along with the other trash containers.

Yes, indeed.

I recycle the things that our waste disposal company tells me to recycle (paper, glass, plastic, etc.)

I couldn't begin to list all the things I have bought since the first IKEA stores appeared in this country, from packets of sauce for the Swedish meatballs to chairs, beds, dressers, tv stands, CD towers, and at least 80 linear feet of 6'6" high bookcases (we have a lot of books). Everything isn't of the highest quality, but I have never bought anything that didn't fulfill its function and last for as long as I needed it; as I sit here and look around me, I can see seven pieces of furniture in this room alone that came from IKEA stores in Pennsylvania and California, including one low bookcase I bought for a former bedroom twenty years ago. [A quick walk-through of the house turns up 38 individual pieces of furniture that came from IKEA.] Most of the things I put together myself, including the bookcases, which would have cost a fortune if I had bought them assembled at a furniture store. BTW, if one is driving on the 10 between Palm Springs and LA, the IKEA at the exit in West Covina is a convenient place to stop to use the bathrooms, since California Interstate rest stops are often closed. And if you are looking for a different kind of fast food than McD et al., , the cafeteria there has the meatballs and other interesting choices.

Likewise for Ryan Harrison, who has a sexy voice. His brother Christian is also cute.

Grigor Dimitrov is certainly one of the prettiest faces on the ATP tour--no wonder Sharapova kept him as her boytoy for awhile. Kyle Edmund is also very cute if you like the pale blond English-type.

We rarely use our dishwasher, since I like to wash things as soon as I have used them, and it takes us a long time to accumulate enough things to justify running a machine. We recently had dinner guests and used a lot of the best china, so we decided to run the washer for only the second time since we have lived in this house (six months). It is a GE Profile, and I suspect it is the same age as the house--8 years--but I don't know how much the previous owners used it (they were a male couple, an interior decorator and an artist). I thought the machine did a much better cleaning job than any other dishwasher we have owned over the years. In our last house the original washer was OK--I don't remember the make--but when we replaced all the old appliances with stainless steel, we bought an LG that took twice as long as this GE to do a normal load, and everything still came out looking less clean than if I had washed it by hand.

If he had a photo of me when I was 13 that he jacked off to, he was a sicko.

Elvis. I was 13 years old and he was a new rock star (he hadn't made any movies yet), and I was able to buy one of the little fanzines, which had a black and white photo of him shirtless. I think it was the first time I ever jacked off to a photo.

Harry Pitts. Peter Licker.

Pugin's fake gothic!

I can't match it any British gothic cathedral that I am familiar with. I thought it might be someplace like King's College Chapel at Cambridge, but it doesn't seem to match that either. There are indications that it is British and somewhat urban, but I can't think of anyplace that really fits.

I often offer things for others to use, but I always hesitate when someone asks to use something I haven't offered, especially if it is something of value. I understand your reaction.

I've only seen the promos, but he does look good.

Sometime in my early 20s, I made a list of all the men I had sex with whom I could remember. There were 168 names or descriptions on the list (I still have it). When I turned 30, I started to keep a daily journal of my activities, which of course included the men I had sex with, including those whose names I didn't catch. I have never tried to count them, but occasionally I go back to read those narratives, and sometimes I can't even remember the ones with whom I apparently had lengthy relationships!

"To give" and "to gift" do not mean the same thing. The first simply describes a physical act, while the latter implies a motive for the act. "Affect" and "effect" are particularly complicated, because each one can be either a noun or a verb, with a total of four different meanings.
