Thanks FH , I actually thought the photo was contrived for some sort of gay publication. Truth is more real than fiction at times.

Sad news for our Bulgarian friends. SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Patriarch Maxim of Bulgaria, who weathered a revolt over his Communist-era ties to lead his country’s Orthodox Christians for more than 40 years, died here on Tuesday. He was 98. Patriarch Maxim’s tenure as the church’s leader bridged Bulgaria’s transition from Communism. World Twitter Logo. Connect With Us on Twitter Follow @nytimesworld for international breaking news and headlines. Twitter List: Reporters and Editors The cause was heart failure, the Holy Synod said in a statement. Orthodox Christianity is Bulgaria’s dominant religion, followed by more than 80 percent of the country’s 7.4 million people. Patriarch Maxim’s tenure as the church’s leader bridged the country’s transition from Communism, and he withstood efforts to oust him by the new democratic government and by rebel priests who saw him as a Communist ally. Born Marin Naidenov Minkov on Oct. 29, 1914, he graduated from the Sofia Seminary in 1935 and entered Sofia University’s theology department in 1938, before rising through the church ranks to be named patriarch on July 4, 1971. After the collapse of Communism in 1989, Bulgaria’s new democratic government sought to replace Communist-appointed figureheads, including the patriarch. The church split between supporters of Patriarch Maxim and breakaway clergymen, who tried to oust him and then formed their own synod. The division plunged the church into turmoil, with church buildings being occupied, priests breaking into fistfights on church steps, and water cannons and tear gas being turned on rebel bishops to clear the main St. Alexander Nevsky cathedral in Sofia. For more than a decade the two synods existed side by side. The schism ended in 2010, when the head of the alternative synod called for healing and the synod was dissolved. Patriarch Maxim was hailed for meeting with Pope John Paul II during the pontiff’s visit to Sofia in 2002, a trip seen as warming the frosty relationship between the Orthodox Church and the Vatican. The Holy Synod of 13 senior clergy members will choose an interim patriarch until a larger Church Council is held within four months to pick Patriarch Maxim’s successor, church officials said.

Same same as you ceejay. Very difficult to review forum content. When in Thailand I had similar difficulties viewing some other forum such as Sawatedee.

Am using Firefox but also tried Internet Explorer with same result. I know others that have similar problem. for sure a software problem of some sort. One day good; an hour later no good.

I am having problems now viewing this forum. Anyone else experiencing a problem? I can see the photos and text but not the same way as when working properly. For instance the area where I am typing this post is not much bigger than a postage stamp! Yes, I am logged in and that is not the problem. Am posting from USA.

A kiss from the distant past.I am having trouble viewing the forum's web page. Half of the content is missing and cannot post photos. anyone else having this problem?

Better yet, I have a photo of Kissopelli kissing Kokopelli, maybe I will post.

Want to read about Ragged Dick by Horatio Alger? In this series a generous man would always rescue a street boy from a life of poverty. Christian, not sure if you know but dick is another word for cock or penis although not necessarily when the book was written. Also boot blacks and newsies (boys selling news papers) were known to supplement their income.
