  1. Cats are lactose intolerant (like me) so I give 'em some frozen almond dessert and some extra moist cat food. And because I am totally insane, on Thanksgiving they get turkey moist cat food.
  2. I think there is a guy using the same name. This is the Brett Mycles who is alive (and is the one pictured above): and here is the Brett Mycles who passed away in 2007: http://images.yuku.com/image/jpg/16126571180fbe682795bf14f1f26296dc7d7eae_r.jpg
  3. I received a couple of massages from musclehealer and really enjoyed them.
  4. The black-and-white photo is at least 5 years old. The photographer has been out of business since early 2013.
  5. That would be the vocabulary police. Grammar police would have pointed out that you should either have omitted the period between the words "fight" and "but" and the comma after the word "but" or used the word "However" instead of "But" in the following:
  6. I don't want to "like" this post, because I don't like the fact that you have gone through this. However, I agree and empathize with you. I,too have a friend who died as a result of his meth use and a former friend who keeps messing himself up with meth.
  7. Wow - that's sad. And you aren't kidding about the mug shot.
  8. The very first post in "The Lounge" will tell you that and more.
  9. Just imagine how you'd feel if you paid a deposit and the escort didn't show up. Money wasted, right? I don't take those kind of risks. Plenty of hot guys out there who do not charge deposits.
  10. Good to know - thanks! That's next. I had the Sylvania Lightfy version back when using WeMo and LOVED IT. Imagine adjusting the light from bed when you need just a teensy bit more or less light.
  11. I jumped on the WeMo system when it first came out and quickly wish I had waited for Hue. Fast-forward to now and I dumped WeMo and am happy to have done so. Do you have any of the lights that can change color?
  12. I bought non-dimmable (that's all that was available) 100w equivalent, 3-way (I think 50-100-150w equivalent), and 60w equivalent LED bulbs at the Mission Valley San Diego Lowes in late 2007/early 2008. They were expensive, but I hated CFLs and did not want incandescent. As I said, LED light bulbs have advanced significantly since then. I just bought several Hue light bulbs at Home Depot. Hue is a system made by Philips that connects lights to a "bridge" via WiFi. You can set various times for lights to go on and off, dim them, and change the color (if you buy the color-tuned bulbs). The standard white LED bulbs are $14.97 a piece, which is about half what non-WiFi bulbs cost 10 years ago.
  13. Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/Incandescent-Equivalent-3000K-3200K-Degrees-Eco-friendly/dp/B01AJQLUT4/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1505673951&sr=8-12&keywords=1500+lumen+led+light+bulbs Light output is actually measured in lumens, not watts. "Watts" refers to the amount of electricity used to produce the light output. Most 100 watt incandescent bulbs put out about 1500 lumens, so all you have to do is find an LCD bulb that puts out 1500 lumens of light and you are all set. And for you, sir: https://www.amazon.com/WestDeer-Watt-Equivalent-Incandescent-Bulbs/dp/B0727X66GG/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1505674244&sr=8-16&keywords=250+watt++led+light+bulbs I made the switch from incandescent and CFL to LED about 10 years ago and am very glad I did. Today's bulbs are MUCH better than the ones from ten years ago, but even back them there were good bulbs to be had.
  14. A cocktail and the "ignore" feature work wonders.
  15. He received a pretty bad review: https://www.daddysreviews.com/cruise/2017-09-05/anthony_flex_philly
  16. Toss-up between Bradley Cooper and Paul Rudd.
  17. @BasketBaller, I wish we lived in the same place because I'd give you a great big hug.
  18. However, the package suggests you use the milk within 7 - 10 days.
  19. Just. Don't. Do. It. Review submitted. Check your PMs.
  20. My doctor never got a hardon for me nor me for him, but there was a veterinarian at the animal hospital in San Diego who was VERY friendly with me. He was the only male vet.
  21. That is great to hear! Find a grocery store that has a bevy of cute stock boys and customers. Problem solved. Uh huh. There's another double entendre in there, but I'm leaving it alone. Years ago I had a friend who loved to clean and hated to cook. We split up meal tasks. Laundry/ironing is much easier if you send the shirts to a dry cleaner/shirt laundry and buy wrinkle-resistant sheets. I recommend Charter Club 500 thread count from Macy's. (buy them on sale) Put them in the dishwasher. Don't have one? Some of the installers at my local Lowes are pretty hunky! That's a tough one to overcome. Another toughie. It will get better! And just wait until you receive the first (lower) water bill. That is also tough to overcome. Awwwww Go to a gym that has lots of hot guys? You might find, particularly among folks who don't have kids, that they enjoy having kids vicariously through others, especially when the "kids" are your boys' ages. Better to be nervous than cocky. Imagine the relief when you realize you are having fun. That's so great to hear, @BasketBaller! Every succeeding week will be better than the last. And on a selfish note, thank you for the opportunity to exercise my parsing skills.
  22. The female ads appear to be outdated, as are the male ads. My guess is they decided to end their involvement in the backpage ad scandal by ceasing to screen scrape backpage ads.
  23. I'll say it seems like fate! You are very fortunate to have a gay relative who you can talk to. Interesting, indeed, how we as people often cope with adversity by distracting ourselves from the grief. Of course, you had to take care of your boys. That said, there's another phenomenon that we (us three co-facilitators) saw in many of the men who came through the coming out group: a feeling of grief over the loss of the person they once were as they become this new person. You have a LOT of changes to parse through, but I'm wondering if you are also feeling some of this grief. Time for a funny story. Shortly after my mom died (after having been in the hospital, rehab, and back to the hospital for four months) my dad could not find the replacement for his expired credit card. After tearing through the house we found the unopened envelope in the recycling bin. My brother, who usually had a good filter, said: "Well, you can't blame Mom for this one." I turned to shoot him "the look" (which I inherited from my mom) and he had the look that said, "I totally didn't mean to say that out loud." My dad, after a few seconds pause, chuckled and said: "Yup, this one's on me." We all had a good laugh and then broke out the good bottle of Scotch my dad had been saving. Hopefully, you will have your own funny story to share soon. One last note: A gentlemen in the coming out group had been married for over 50 years. After his wife passed away he realized he was attracted to men. He had been coming to the group for several years prior to me joining the facilitator team in 2009 and would never tell anyone that he is gay. In 2016 he told us his coming out story and said the words "I'm gay." He had never told anyone his story before and all of us had tears in our eyes and were glad to hear it. Your brother-in-law will be equally glad, as are we, to hear your story. Looking very much forward to the next chapter of your inspiring story.
