  1. I assume there's a permitting process, even for construction on private land, that will look at issues like this, so those concerns will probably be addressed. In Virginia, after some incident that renewed calls for not displaying Confederate flags, a contrarian put up a 50+ foot flagpole on his own land next to I-95, then hoisted a supersized battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia (the more commonly seen one, with the blue saltire, or X-cross, emblazoned with white stars on a red field). Except for height restrictions, which this flagpole did not violate, the only other concerns officials could legally press was stability to ensure the pole wouldn't be overturned and fall across the interstate. Otherwise, he could do what he wanted on his own land. I suspect patronage of the business will be the true test of acceptance or rejection, and thus of wisdom or folly.
  2. By way of clarification - the church does not teach that the condition -being homosexual- is sinful, just that homosexual acts are sinful; and I don't mean wearing tight jeans, if that's still a thing. To me, all this is about as relevant and meaningful as Trekkies at a convention discussing the proper conjugation of Klingon nouns; it's all made-up and pointless. Who cares?
  3. Hot body and handsome face. The only problem would be looking up from taking care of his tool and seeing a Bible verse. Sort of a downer.
  4. Love the arms and shoulders, but pics are sparse and info even more so. Without reviews, would need a lot more to engage.
  5. Precisely the point. Augmenting the actor's snout to more closely match the character being portrayed is akin to combing the actor's hair to mimic the style of JFK for the movie Kennedy or giving Charles Laughton a backbump to be The Hunchback of Notre Dame. But these things can get silly. In the miniseries Anne Boleyn, a Black actress was chosen to portray Mary, Queen of Scots; a choice destined to evoke criticism, which it did, and just as predictably, brought criticism raining down from those who criticized the criticism. I wonder what their reaction would be if Bradley Cooper's next project was the title role in a film to be called MLK and the Dream He Had. Which would incite greater scorn; putting the white actor in blackface, or having him play the role without makeup? Do you know we also discriminate against the blind? No one will hire one to drive a school bus.
  6. I'm assuming this was your first in person meeting with Mr. NoName, and, if so, can't help but wonder how you arrived at the "he is a nice guy" speculation, other than, perhaps. his on-screen persona -when he's acting- and your earnest wish that it be true. I admire your good nature and intentions to assign his impolite behavior to him having a bad day, not knowing who pissed in his corn flakes before you met him that day; we've all had days like that and owe apologies to those we growled at, or worse, bit. And I applaud his refusal to take money for a service not provided, again assuming that abuse was not part of the requested service. And I appreciate your wish to not cause him negative repercussions based a brief and unfortunate experience. I'm sorry you had the bad time with him and wish you better times to come, or cum, as you choose to spell it. For myself, I shall try to carry on as best I can, leaving my prurient curiosity altogether unsatisfied.
  7. Beautiful boy! What a face! First saw him in Otto Preminger's In Harm's Way and fell in love at first sight. His accidental premature death was a true tragedy.
  8. OK, I'll ask the obvious question. Who? There's no point in reporting a fire if you don't give the address.
  9. Woof! And the dog's cute, too.
  10. That's odd; I think about it every day.
  11. Never met him, but if there's a Hall of Fame for butts, he should be inducted.
  12. Aside from the cost, if you need a bag that big to carry your shit around, stay home; your supply chain needs are off the chart.
  13. How ironic would it be to be topped by a roofer?
  14. Mrs. Watson, clear my calendar. And no calls, please.
  15. Stop saying cut it off before someone actually does; this whole thing could get ugly. I'd love to know what Dear Abby thinks about this, but I assume that when she read the original post, she fainted. This is an unfortunate mess, with no one at fault, and a rare case of two rights making a wrong. I'll adopt a rule that if it smells icky, and looks icky, and sounds icky, it's probably icky. So, walk away before icky gets sticky. BTW, will father and son see each other at Thanksgiving? I'd like to buy a seat for that.
  16. I want to follow you around and pick up the crumbs you leave behind. Especially the handsome ones.😉
  17. Old enough to know better. Not there yet.😉
  18. And a horrible story it must be. But maybe it depends.
  19. I asked God to give me all things that I might enjoy life; instead, I was given life that I might enjoy all things. - attributed to an anonymous Confederate soldier The kingdom of heaven is within you. - Luke 17:21
  20. A Portrait in Love and Trust [My eyes leak]
  21. Parking like that is just asking to get rear-ended!
  22. They mean theirs, not yours.
  23. So, he's the one that's dreaming.
  24. That story made my eyes leak. Thank you. [We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give. - Winston Churchill]
