I have read a few reports of this but this story gives a good brief overview of the encounter and what transpired. Will anything become of this? http://www.theroot.com/the-curious-case-of-the-black-male-prostitute-found-dea-1820247720

I have been surprised more than once in the past. Mostly when I thought it was a lady. But, you never know. I have this one guy from 7-11 I think is sexy. I told the boyfriend about him and he laughed. I asked why and he said, "well, that is a tomboy." In other words a girl. My sexy spectrum runs the gambit and most of the time I like the bad boy looks but sometimes a tough looking lady is sexy too!

I learned that a democrat who took money from the Clinton's and took Hillary's Senate seat can say stupid shit.

Donald Trump is doing one thing that no one quite predicted. He is sticking to a plan to turn the courts around by appointing young people to life terms as federal judges. Not just young people, and I use "young" in the context of traditional court appointments- but right-wing people who want to undermine the gains made in the past few decades. Abortion and gay rights are two topics they can't wait to handle.

Just binged watched all 13 episodes. Holy shit is that guy hot. And if you like pretty boys there's one there too.

I follow this blog on Facebook and am amazed at the gruesomeness of some of the stuff that goes on: https://www.facebook.com/policiaisoperacionaisbrasil/?ref=br_rs

Me too MsAnn

Just downloaded it, and so far, extremely happy with the speed, and far more user friendly.

This is an amazing price to an amazing place! http://www.latimes.com/travel/la-tr-airfare-box-20171117-story.html

"Surrender Dorothy"

I have to agree with you and think their dominance and loyal customer base will diminish. For me, all equipment is Mac. This was the only hesitation I have had in 15 years. Had I been in the USA where I could have gotten longer warranties, I feel I would be typing this on a PC.

It kills me to say it out loud, but Apple has lost -- or is more and more rapidly losing -- its mojo and magic. On December 26 last year I had to replace my laptop. I ended up choosing a Dell -- not something in my wildest dreams I would have imagined just a few short years ago. But, with its hardware capabilities (list $799, after-Christmas special at Best Buy had it at just $599) plus the truly very very good Windows 10 (Microsoft at last having once again a far-more-than-competent CEO), it is the best laptop I have ever experienced. Apple's days at the top of the heap, in computerdom at least, look to be over. For now. We'll see what lies ahead.

I suspect there is a good reason why Al Franken is supporting the call for an investigation into his conduct. If you look carefully at the photo that was submitted by the accuser, you can see that Franken's hands are not touching the woman. The shadows caused by the placement of his fingers away from her body indicate the science behind flash photography. If that photo is her only proof of "groping," she's going to lose her claim in a court of law. Upon deeper inspection, who is going to buy that a woman can easily get "groped" on a packed military plane flying folks who carry cameras? Many of us have fallen asleep on a flight. Does anyone actually believe that someone can get groped and sleep through it? The accusation seems to be very false. The woman accuser is also a hard-core partisan Republican. She has anti-Democrat rants published on the internet. At the time the photo was taken, Franken was a silly professional comic. The photo gesturing joke while someone sleeps is as old as the Boy Scouts and Candid Camera. I fail to see any sexual harassment here. As for slipping her the tongue in rehearsal, it's another cheap, heterosexual ploy used by male actors to tease their female counterparts. I'm not saying it's a good practice, but this notion of screaming HARASSMENT every time someone famous teases or touches you is not going to end well for women.

I heard from Townie that Lurker's family was contacted and they are taking care of everything.

This is terrible news. I only knew you through your posts but they did give me an sense that you were a good person. I hope you are not with 72 virgins, but with instead with 72 young but experienced hotties, as would be fitting for your status among us.

I am very sad! Lurker was truly one of the nice guys! We met on the street in Montreal in 2010 and talked about Brazil and his next vacation he went there! I was with him on two of his trips there! He was a great guy! RIP my friend!

If you really do love the man, marry him for real. If you don't love him enough to marry him for real, don't marry him at all. A sham marriage is going to involve messy legal problems, especially for you.

Ok--I'll chime in as I am in Rio now. For the average visitor nothing has changed one bit. The city is beautiful and vibrant as always. The saunas are full of great guys and on sunny days the beaches are packed. When I left The Week(dance club) at 5am last night there were thousands of guys still dancing inside. I see no more security or anything different now than in the 15 years I have been visiting here. What has changed in talking to locals is a little sense that the overall security situation is worse. An Uber driver last night told me how dangerous the city was now. More than the security issue the locals gripe about the prolonged economic crisis and the fact that the lower value of the Real has hurt their ability to travel and buy goods from abroad. But for all the problems they have--security and otherwise--they still don't have the kind of mass shootings that occur in the US. I have to share one experience from the other night that for me makes this place special. Last night on the metro while stopped at a station I looked upon two cute guys that were on the platform. By any gaydar in the world these two guys were 100% straight. When they figured out I was checking them out they gave me a big smile and a thumbs up. You won't find that at home.
