i would like to complain about netflix. they have so many awesome movies and sometimes i just sit there for hours DECIDING what to watch; never mind watching something lol!!!!!!!!!!!
Roger wrote: "This is a moan… why aren't people playing games, great one like WHICH BOOK or the POEMS and EVER ENDING STORIES???"Shh! Those are our games. People have to be unimaginative and unhinged to play those games. The other members have too many brain cells and are too rational to play those book and poem and story games.

Oo-er. Forgot that, Preston, but that's because I don't have lots of brainiac cells left…

Well get a move on… :-))
It is a miscarriage of justice that Rupert Smith's Man's World isn't available even as a paperback at AMZ.com. It's not an ebook at all, but at least the paperback can be got at AMZ.co.ukMy review is at: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This had many resonances for me (it's a very British-London novel) because one half is set in 1957 and paints a picture of the London scene at a time when the older folk in Boy of the West End, speaking the strange gay language of Polari in one scene, would have been late teenagers or in their early 20s.
It deserves a wider audience.

Wow! I had no idea I possessed so much power. Tried to look for it yesterday and it couldn't be found. Well…

I'm already fed up with the First World War. It's easy to see why our German friends think the British are war-crazy, never stop carping on about it. Anyway, I came across this accurate appraisal of how WWI actually began and was conducted by all parties involved…http://themetapicture.com/if-wwi-was-...

Horrific tales and then there all these experts lining up to make a buck (or €)?

Casually take a stroll to the other side of the room and comment on whatever she's working on.
All the other words of advice are really good too! Good luck Julia!
♥★Julia wrote: "yeah but i only see her in art class and shes on the other side of the room!!!!!!!!The first step is the hardest, but once you get started, it'll fall into place. Just remember to breathe. I wish you the best of luck. :-)
Absolutely (Lori) Do not forget to breathe! It's really quite zen–get the breathing right and everything else has a dangerous chance of falling into place.
My complaint is that not enough right-minded [or is that left?] people are registering to vote or will vote in the upcoming election when there are dangerous groups like in this country. Register to vote and be sure to vote!
A "Lively" debate. What arrant nonsense. George orwell might even have seen the funny side of a movement committed to the destruction of people, mentally, physically, and even terminally calling their values "Family Values". That's truly Doublespeak.

Preston wrote: "What comment are you reacting to in message 5722?"The link in Averin's comment 5721.
Whoops, sorry, should have hit "Reply". Yes Averin's link in 5721.
Roger wrote: "Whoops, sorry, should have hit "Reply". Yes Averin's link in 5721."Oh that's a funny one. People wasting their time try to ban gay 'propaganda' Putin style? They would have to ban the Internet. I think those crazies are harmless in any modern, truly democratic country.
Any country that would ban the Internet to achieve this goal is most likely a country where homosexuality is illegal and rampant with government encouraged gay bashing/murder.
I am utterly bovinated to learn that cattle don't have gay sex, according to the first lady of Uganda… and I guess she should know, married to that bull of a president…http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/ug...
Roger wrote: "I am utterly bovinated to learn that cattle don't have gay sex, according to the first lady of Uganda… and I guess she should know, married to that bull of a president…http://www.gaystarnews.com/..."
Cows are female therefore they do not represent the full spectrum of homosexuality in cattle.
She needs to put a bunch of bulls together to find out if her observations on homosexuality among cattle also covers males. Bulls are not usually kept in a herd like cows because on most farms it only takes one bull to impregnate a herd of cows. Thus bull's have been denied the opportunity to be gay.
Mrs. Uganda must fight for bull rights to be gay or straight or bi before she unleashes a load of bull on us.
Preston wrote: "Mrs. Uganda must fight for bull rights to be gay or straight or bi before she unleashes a load of bull on us...."After much study of her acute observations on the social habits of strictly non-lesbian cows, I have determined Mrs. Uganda know very little of the habits of cattle and even less about the sex of cattle (that's gender, not whether they have it regularly or not).
Perhaps she should get together with the mayor of Sochi.
>shakes head< Mrs. Uganda is in need of a tutorial on mammalian behavior, it seems to me.
Lori wrote: ">shakes head< Mrs. Uganda is in need of a tutorial on mammalian behavior, it seems to me."Obviously she's never been jostled by a longhorn…
UGANDA COMES TO ARKANSASYou don't need to fly all the way to East Africa to enjoy intolerance, how about Sheridan, Arkansas?
http://edition.cnn.com/2014/03/19/us/...
I find Superintendent Brenda Haynes's response drearily familiar. I'm sure if it were translated into German it would sound like one of the Nazi apologists' "official statements" circa 1938.
"We must make decisions that lead in the proper direction for all of our students and for our community. We must not make decisions based on demands by any special interest group. The seven profiles will not be published in the yearbook. We have reviewed state law, court cases, and our own policies. It is clear that the adults who have the responsibility for the operation of the District have the obligation to make decisions which are consistent with the mission of our school. We have done so."
She might have added that the "seven" would find their lives far more fulfilling in the special concentration camps being constructed just outside Sheridan, Arkansas, very similar to the ones which should have been built outside Little Rock in the later 1950s to accommodate in safety the black pupils who so upset that worthy city's high school by their unreasonable request for inclusion.
Averin, neither had I, but I think in 1995 I was too busy to watch TV. But it's a wonderful ad!
Hahahaha! Lovely ad, though how anyone could live in that mess ... Hahahaha.

Bad Guinness! And living in that mess, Lori—well, I think that was a nod to British "kitchen sink drama" of the 1960s, which were always in black and white, something TV kept up for an age. In the classic examples, the house always looked to be in that kind of mess!
I most 30 (or so) prepaid books from Amazon US!!!
You see, some really nice folks (bless them, bless them) filed an antitrust lawsuit about price-fixing of ebooks, and won, and AMZ just informed me this morning that I have a credit on my account that will...if I avoid paying the $9.99-$12.99 for Kindle versions of a brand-new mainstream hardcover like Nora Robb's In Death series or a Brian Sanderson...let me buy 31 books.
Or 32 or 33 if I'm frugal and careful. And when it comes to pinching a book purchase ha-penny until it screams, ain't nobody more frugaler and carefuller than moi.
So, there you have my sad news this 25th March 2014.
Eric
Jeez, Eric, that's just awful. I mean, how will you cope, you poor, poor thing, you. So sad…
Michael wrote: "Haha thanks. But you're a little to old for me"No Roger is too young for you. I'm too old. Read some of Roger Kean's books like A Life Apart, Gregory's Story and Thunderbolt:Torn Enemy of Rome and you find his ideas are younger than tomorrow and exciting at all times past, present or future.
I think Roger, who is in a civil union with the world renown legendary gay artist Zack, was complimenting you by saying you were one those who was a "...hot guy and he is so close.. But so far!!!! "
>smiling<
I'm glad to be your Goodreads friend. I hope you will post a lot of messages especially if they are about hot guys.
Hugs!

Hello Michael. Welcome to the Complaint Department~! Thanks for posting a complaint. You are definitely so far away from most of us. My parents drove through Alaska with a popup camper vacationing and they called me from a laundromat in Homer. Someday you will look back on this exchange of messages and find it heartwarming. Or maybe not. Explore the Complaint Department and I hope to see more of your messages here. You can start a topic on any subject in the section that is called Topics Created By Members. Pretty clever name huh?

Under those (almost) perfect abs is a cast-iron protection against the slings and arrows. It's a long way back but in the M/M Romance group he dared take on the terrifying Steelwhisper in a very public disagreement. He lost out, though, because Boyd used logic and she used tears. Never a good idea, logic, but when you're young and enthusiastic…
And yes, my comment was a compliment… :-))
I hate the fact that I won't be around for 9–10 days because I'm off to Portugal to live in the lap of luxury in the hills above the wine-growing region of the Douro River, and the weather ought to be very pleasant. Grrrrr.

Well we talked a lot and it didn't bother me me, no wait, we were typing so that doesn't count. Actually I don't mind stuttering but there are programs that can help. "More than 100 studies on adults who stutter concluded that significant improvement typically occurs as a result of treatment in 60 to 80% of cases."
