    Yes, exactly. They know he is such a disloyal shit that he would do that. So do voters. Which makes one wonder? Why did Republicans nominate somebody who holds their party in contempt?

    A rhetorical question. You got me.

    You flatter me, Sir

    It would have been sooner...

    Had my attorney not died 3 weeks ago and no one thought to ********ing tell me...

    Jesus, the shit that only happens to me

    Ask me how he died....
































    Screw it, I'ma tell you.

    He went in for a colonoscopy, had a reaction to the sedative, heart attack and died on the table...

    ******** - had to go all through the cleanse and didn't get to come out on the other side and enjoy that first meal back among the living.

    I hope he's in Valhalla, enjoying some steak

    Susan Sarandon, like her or not politically, has some great comments about Catherine Deneuve in this clip - starting about 1:30 in (although the preceding comments about Butch and Sundance are great as well).

    Sorry that happened (and the divorce). At least you have the "he died" excuse.
    Mine (associate) who was handling my petition for guardianship of dad, just up and left. No warning, nothing. Put me back 3 or 4 months, and tax season just got screwed.

    Definitely not politically, but do appreciate her look - her best attribute to me is her voice

    Accurate comments. It doesn't hurt that the GF has that same lilt and rasp in her voice

    So, question, like do you have a couple of folders on your bookmark bar that read:

    "Gay Stuff that the Straights will nod in agreement to"

    "Gay Stuff that will creep out Marek"

    Just wondering

    I am exceedingly proud of these kind, compassionate, emotionally stable humans that will not hesitate to love those who need it as well as deliver a solid beating to those who have earned it

    Sir, you flatter me...

    Every time we turned up expecting, I prayed to the Creator and begged that our kids just be born healthy and that I didn't care what they looked like, didn't care if they grew up to believe in the Creator or not, didn't care if they were gay or straight, didn't care about any identifier as long as the Creator helped me to raise them to be better people tnan I ever was and to get there sooner than I did. The Creator delivered, so I did my best to hold up my end of the bargain (and I would have even if they hadn't been healthy & perfect)

    Credit my parents, for any good parenting that I did.

    And, directly, my apologies to you for all of the offensive shit I've said to you and anything that approaches homophobic speech or rhetoric. It was never right, nor funny

    But anything Sounders related, still applies

    Thanks
    KInda glad about it now
    Know the feeling
    I think he actually got the shaft
    So, there's this one thing about the new GF that I'm not sayin' is a fault, but it's going to make early October contentious for us...

    ...and you seem to have sussed it out...

    The Creator is a Trickster with a strange and mysterious way of giving us exactly what we deserve...

    Week before Christmas - Same - I credit the bourbon and the Diet Mountain Dew (never mixed)

    Mine (first one ever, in May 2021) wasn't too bad. Instead of the gallon of whatever they gave all the guys I asked about it beforehand, they gave me something called Clenpiq. Two 8-oz bottles. You drink the first one around 6 or 7 PM night before, with a 40 of water. Around 2 AM, the second, with another 40 oz. of water. I crapped maybe 15 times all told, compared to the 35-50 times everybody told me I would. Looked exactly like Mountain Dew after the first two bathroom visits, no cloudiness, no nothing. Wore my G-Shock to the hospital. No cancer, no polyps (the weed has taken care of me)... I was getting dressed again within 30 minutes of getting undressed, no real wooziness. I did not drive myself.

    Sorry to be so graphic- all y'all will eventually start this journey if you haven't yet

    G-Shock, for those extreme screenings. I'll probably wear a Seiko Alpinist or a Dan Henry :p.

    I'm probably going in for mine in year or so as I lost my mom to colon cancer. Thankfully her's wasn't genetic but I'm still paranoid as hell.

    Nope, I previously taught the equivalent of an LGBT Studies class and just happen to know a lot of good film/tv resources.That particular documentary, The Celluloid Closet, is excellent.

    That is might creep him out is an added bonus.


    Thank you but none needed. I honestly don't recall anything that you said but remember and appreciate your response when I explained the circumstances surrounding the death of the love of my life a few years ago.

    I hate 19th century Germany as much as the next guy, but that seems extreme. And expensive.

    My mother had colon cancer when she was 37 (she's now 82) and some cousins died in their 20s from it. As such, I've been having colonoscopies every 3-5 years since I was in my late 20s, as have my siblings. We have the day before preparation down to an art.

    Same here (Kaiser) except I did have a colonoscopy once for a specific concern (turned out fine, so as far as Kaiser is concerned I may not need another).
